“Joey was great. She handled the special medicine put kitties needed and fed them separately. She made sure she undid what they needed and provided excellent communication. Thanks!”
“Jennifer is fantastic! She took extra good care of our 4 elderly cats with special dietary requirements and medication schedules. She brought us peace of mind while on our vacation which is very much appreciated! We have worked with her before and will surely do so again.”
“Jordana took perfect care of our high energy dogs when I reached out due to work travel! They clearly enjoyed her presence and were so happy in all of the photos. We will be using her again!”
“Chrissy is the absolute best !!! ❤️ She took very good care of Avery. He is older and prefers drop in visits. She was on time with the schedule we requested. She sent us updates and pictures. So very thankful”
“Olivia did a wonderful job with our 2 cats while we were gone for a week. She was on time and always spent time with the cats as well as sending a quick note and pics of them. We will use her again if needed.”
“Nicole is a wonderful person and pet sitter! I trust her completely with my animals - they love her! She always checks in and sends photos, which, as a cat mom, I so appreciate while I’m away! I use her and my parents do for their cats and dogs. Thanks Nicole!”
“We had a great experience with her! She was wonderful with our puppy, who is definitely in her land shark phase right now, and handled all the puppy chaos so well. She was communicative, reliable, and it was clear she genuinely cared about our dogs. I especially appreciated that she noticed one of our dogs was nervous because of the fireworks and spent time comforting her. It was really thoughtful and meant a lot to know she was paying such close attention. We’d absolutely book with her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”
“Patricia is a wonderful dog sitter. Molly went for walks and enjoyed being with her. Patricia brought a dog toy for her to play with and Molly had fun with that too. Thank you so much, Patricia!”
About: I've taken care of big and small dogs most of my life. Love them and take care of them like family. I will take good care of your pets. I love the outdoors and going on walks. I foster dogs , and get them ready for a forever home . Pet care is completely random most of the time As I work randomly throughout the week and don’t have a set schedule . I do work nights Monday-Wednesday . I would care for your dogs with kind care and if you have a big dog you don't have to be scared of me walking them and them going lose. I am stronger than I look and have about 6 years of firefighting experience under my belt. I am tidy and neat and don't track any dirt inside the house.
About: I take very care of my cats and make sure they have a well balanced diet and life. I’ve babysat friends dogs and am very good at following any directions and preferences they give me. Cats and dogs give me so much joy and I always have the patience and love for them. I’m currently working a part-time job and I’m in softball currently, so the most available time I have are Fridays and the weekends at any time your pet will need me. I will be coming to your home since that works best for me, so I will care for you pet just like you would yourself. Any special accommodations you have for me, I will be sure to follow through since it is your home and your pet.
“Alyssa was so great with our kitty Marceline! She responded very quickly when I first reached out, and our kitty was comfortable with her right away. She had great attention to detail and was very pleasant to work with. I could tell from the pictures each day that our kitty was very happy with her! We would definitely use her as a sitter again in the future!”
“Emma was wonderful with our pups! She was also kind enough to agree to check-in with our dogs after a pet sitter cancelled on us a few days before we were to leave on vacation. She sent us pictures, cleaned up doggie drool, ? and left our pups happy and well taken care of. We highly recommend her!”
“Katie frequently walks our dog, has boarded our dog, and has done drop in visits for our cat while we are on vacation. She is fantastic to work with, and we highly recommend!”

Michele is amazing! She took care of my two cats for 2 weeks time frame and did an excellent job! You can tell she truly cares for animals rather than just doing it for the money. My cats warmed up to her and she sent detailed pictures after every visit, and responded promptly to any text messages. I am definitely booking her again when we travel. If you want someone to look after your pets just like you are and not worry about them, Michele is your person.
Alexa does a wonderful job with my senior cat when we're out of town including giving a pill. She leaves helpful notes from the visits that help reassure us that our pet is in good hands. Plus we love the care she puts into a variety of pictures. Definitely recommend!
Elizabeth was amazing with Bella during her drop in visit. She was on time, very communicative, and clearly cared about Bella. The updates and photos were so appreciated and gave me total peace of mind. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Shakopee on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,529 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Shakopee. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Shakopee stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Shakopee. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
