“This is the second time we've had Julia check in on our cat Gizmo for multiple visits. She always sends great photos of how well he's doing and even fixed our automatic cat feeder this time and completely changed out his litter for us! We love Julia and so does Gizmo!”

“Anika was great! She braved the snow to come and meet my Great Dane the evening prior to her drop-in visits. She was not at all intimidated by my 150 lb dog's thorough assessment of her upon her arrival. Her follow through and communication were terrific. I returned home to a happy, healthy, safe pet and could enjoy my time away without concern. I highly recommend Anika!”

“Monica went above and beyond. We have a very senior cat who isn't a fan of strangers. She took her time with him and by the end he was purring on her lap giving her headbutts. She sends a bunch of pictures and her reports are really thorough. It felt like we were there with her. I would recommend her to anyone to watch their pets. Thank you so much Monica for everything and we will definitely be using your services again, if you don't mind the aggressive biscuit making 😂”

About: I work from home full time and have the capability and desire to have a cuddly fur baby around, snuggles, walks and lots of love a must. I like watching 1 dog at a time but if they are from the same family, please feel free to reach out if there are 2. I am able to be flexible. Since I work from home full time I am available to watch your fur baby during the day, night, boarding and on weekends if needed I would take them on walks when I could during the day, snuggles, some play time and rest when needed. Plenty of food and water, no fenced in back yard.

About: With over 20 years of experience caring for animals, dogs have truly been a lifelong passion of mine. I also have professional experience as a certified dog trainer with Petco, giving me a strong background in canine behavior, body language, socialization, basic obedience and enrichment. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, energy levels and personalities, including puppies, seniors, shy or anxious dogs, high-energy dogs and dogs who simply need a little extra patience. After years of providing full-time dog care, I am now intentionally focusing on a smaller number of boarding guests at a time. This allows me to provide more individualized attention and create a comfortable home-away-from-home experience rather than a busy daycare environment. I also offer dog walking and care in your home for pets who are happiest in their own environment. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I tailor my care to the individual dog rather than expecting every dog to fit into the same routine. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, bathroom habits and overall comfort, and communication with pet parents is extremely important to me. Your pet isn't just another booking. I want to get to know who they are. 💜 Pet care has been a major part of my daily life for years, so my schedule is built around the animals in my care. For boarding, I intentionally accept a limited number of dogs so I can provide plenty of individual attention, potty breaks, outdoor time, enrichment, play, rest and affection throughout their stay. I do my best to maintain each dog's normal feeding and sleeping routine so their stay feels as familiar and comfortable as possible. I also offer walks and in-home visits throughout the week. These are customized around your pet's routine and can include walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, enrichment and companionship. Whether your dog is staying with me or I'm coming to them, my goal is quality time and individualized care rather than simply checking a box on a schedule. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I take time to learn each pet's personality, routine, boundaries, medical needs and comfort level before deciding what their care should look like. Dogs boarding in my home have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and plenty of space to play, explore or simply relax. Because I now keep my boarding numbers intentionally small, I can closely supervise interactions and give dogs space and downtime when they need it. I never assume that every dog wants to socialize or play the same way. Introductions, activities and interactions are based on the individual dog's temperament and comfort. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect both your home and your pet's established routine. I carefully follow instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, doors, gates, crates and household safety.

Ed clearly enjoys being with animals, and naturally spoils your pets like they are his own. Highly recommend Ed to anyone, as myself and my boyfriend anticipate asking for his assistance in the future!”

About: I became a dog lover when I was 6 and my family got our first bulldog Rufus (best dog breed in my opinion). I’ve taken care of my own dog and friends and family members’ dogs that have come in all different breeds and sizes. I have availability all throughout the week and can accommodate whatever time works best for you. I just graduated college, so I’m doing dog care while I look for a job. I will listen to your pet’s body language to make them as comfortable as possible when meeting them and assure that they are safe and secure before leaving.

About: My husband and I have grown up with dogs and you will receive tons of pictures throughout the day! We have flexible jobs where we can work from home so your dog will always have someone to hang out with. Our house has a very large fenced in backyard where the critters can run around and chase all the rabbits and squirrels out. Your pup will have full access to the entire house including all of the furniture and beds. Please let us know if you would like to set up a meet and greet to ensure that all our furry critters get along. In addition, we are members of the Horse and Hunt club and often take our hunting dogs. If you’re interested, we would be happy to take your hunting dog with to horse and hunt to run fields and get them on birds. Cost would be a daily visit plus cost of birds. We basically schedule our days around dogs and their daily needs. Just let us know what their routine is and we will stick with what they’re used to. My husband and I both work hybrid/remote and someone will always be home with the dogs to hang out with them, let them out, etc.

About: I was a boarding assistant for 2 years. In that time I have gained experience with many different breeds, all with different personalities. I have also been trained in giving medicine to dogs, cats, and even rabbits. I’m currently taking an asynchronous online class, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to check in on, or care for, your pet. I do have appointments every other week, but that won’t get in the way. Following instructions, especially having a checklist of things that need to be completed, is the best way for me to know the exact care your fluffy friend needs. I can work based on whatever schedule is given to me, as well as leaving room for changes if needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Savage on Rover is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 5,692 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Savage. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Savage. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
