“We have two cats with one of which who has a medicine she gets every 12 hours, so we needed someone to come at the beginning and end of the day while we were away. It was our first time getting a rover and are so glad we had Jennifer to come check in on our two cats twice a day. I appreciated so much getting a picture every visit and knew they were in good hands and taken care of!!”
“Rachel did a fantastic job watching our cats while we were away. She went above and beyond their needs and was very prompt with communication! We will definitely book with her again.”
About: Caring for pets has been a part of my life for a long time, through both pets of our own and foster pets! We’ve been fostering for the past decade and have cared for over 30 dogs and cats. I have experience with dogs with all kinds of personalities, including shy, anxious, and reactive. My favorite thing about animals is they all have their own personalities, and I love learning about who they are! My approach is to meet pets where they’re at and let them set the pace for our interactions, especially those who need a little extra time to feel comfortable with someone new. Senior dogs have an especially big place in my heart, as we have two of our own, and I’m very comfortable with the extra patience and care older pups sometimes need. I’ve also fostered and spent time with dogs of many breeds, sizes, and personalities, including bully breeds which are always welcome! I work a hybrid schedule, and will spend most of my day with your pet. When I leave, it will generally be no longer than about 4 hours at a time, whether for work or to see my own pets and family. If I expect I’ll need to be gone longer than this at any point during the stay, I’ll let you know before booking! I will treat your home as a guest in it; I’m tidy and will clean up after me and your pets! What is helpful for me to know is what your pet’s typical day looks like, if they have any favorite or important parts to their routine, and ways they like to get stimulation (walk, play, puzzles). Where do they sleep? As much information as you can tell me about your pet is better so I can keep things as normal for them as possible!
“This was my first time having Carol care for my cats and I was so happy to have found her. She took great care of them and gave me regular updates. One of my cats is particularly shy and she came up to Carol the first time they met, which was a huge positive in my book.”

We have been animal owners for many years and we will care for your animals like we do our own!! With two adults and two kids to help care for your pet, we are available to support your animal! We are home all evening, weekends, and some weekdays. Pets are family! We understand the importance of patience, care, building relationships, and consistency to help the pet and their owner feel comfortable. We are reliable and trustworthy.
“Helen was GREAT! She took wonderful care of our kitties and was so great as we are still in the middle of introducing the two! She sent so many photos and made us feel very connected to them while we were away!:)”
About: I am a teacher turned stay at home mom on a 3 acre homestead in the city. I am very responsible, prompt and give detailed care. I would love to match the schedule you keep your pet on at home! I am naturally communicative and clear and love the outdoors in all weather. Our whole family loves to care for your pet! I have loved and cared a menagerie of pets over the years--4 dogs from puppy through their senior years, many cats, birds, and a bearded dragon. I am my friends' favorite pet sitter because the whole family is genuinely excited to love your animals! I have plenty of experience in puppy and senior dog care. Can't wait to meet you! I am a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available most days to board your pet! Our senior dog just passed away, so we would welcome your animal to our spacious 3 acre homestead. I thoroughly enjoy taking dogs on walks and playing fetch. I can easily crate your pet if we decide it is best.
About: I grew up with a lot of pets. Dogs, cats, fish, birds, and for the last 3 years I've been doing pet care along with child care for a well respected small company in Northern MN. I love working with animals and I'm very good at taking care of them, whether that's short term, long term, or just for a day. I'm currently not working outside of pet sitting, and I try to be very active so daily walks are a must have along with trips to the park and indoor play time. I keep a consistent sleep schedule so I can easily cater to the schedule of your animals. I live in a townhouse community near a lake with a walking trail and a large open field perfect for longer walks with the pups! When I'm in a clients home, I will communicate with you first to learn if you have a schedule for the pets you'd like me to follow. Then I will make sure their needs are met and have plenty of play time in and outside so they get their exercise in between naps and cuddles.
About: I've been taking care of people's cats and dogs alike ever since I was a teenager around the Edina neighborhood. I moved to Woodbury around 2019 where I adopted a cat. I grew up with dogs but I've wanted a cat too so now I'd say I'm proficient with both cats and dogs. I work part-time. I have flexible schedule on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.so I'm pretty much available all day on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I'm available to stay overnight if that is a need for the pet. I always make sure to establish trust between myself and the pet and the pet parent. I also understand animals need time to adjust to new people and every animal is different. Some also need more space to adjust and I'm that person that will give the time and space the animal needs.
About: Between my own family and my wife's, I've had alot of experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I've house sat for elderly dogs and raised and trained our own puppy. I've rescued half a dozen lost dogs from our neighborhood. Every dog I meet gets lots of love and yours would be no exception! We already have our miniature poodle pup Winston, so your pup would fit right in with us! I am working from home the vast majority of the time and if I was gone, my wife would be there. As the kid who was always the first to notice when a dog needed to go out and do its business, I'm very attentive to the needs of all dogs. Your pup will be a part of our family during their stay and kept company by my whole family.
“Ashley saved the day! At the last minute, our work schedules changed, and we needed someone to come by and let our puppy Daisy out and spend some time with her. She showed up on time and was respectful of Daisy's routine. She always provided updates after each visit. We were so relieved it worked out, and we were able to find someone to step in while my husband and I were at work. I cannot recommend Ashley enough! We will definitely have her in the future!”
“Heather was super friendly and helpful. She took great care of Goldie and communicated regularly with helpful updates. It sounds like she liked playing with Heather’s cat, but her dog was a bit too rambunctious for Goldie. She had a great time!”
“Allison was awesome! She took amazing care of my old man cat with his medications and made sure everyone was happy and well fed. We will definitely be hiring her again!”
“Rachel did a great job housesitting for our two kitties who are a bit demanding. She took care of our mail, trash, packages, and other people coming and going from our home while we were gone. Highly recommend hiring her if you want peace of mind while on your vacation. Will use her again for upcoming trips.”
“Our cat loved staying with Percy! He provided photos and updates, and obviously loves cats! We would love to have our cat stay with Percy again—it made our trip worry free!”
About: I have experience with several long-term dog-sitting jobs, caring for dogs for multiple days and extended periods of time. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including different shedding levels, daily walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping up with their routines. I’m a genuine animal lover and love making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family and want you to feel confident knowing your furry friend is in good hands! If this is specifically for an over-night pup I would ask if it is possible to be accompanied by a friend that can also meet prior as it would make me more comfortable. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule! I only have one class a day during the week and work part-time on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays from 4–8 PM. My weekends are completely open, and I have plenty of availability to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets feel loved and comfortable while you’re away! I’m happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pet! Whether that means walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication if needed, or just extra cuddles and company, I’m willing to help. I’m great at sticking to routines and understand how important consistency is for pets to feel comfortable and safe. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible while making sure they feel loved and cared for.
About: I know what it’s like to have to leave your pets in someone’s cares, it’s never easy but you can feel safe, secure, and satisfied to know that I provide the reassurance you need while you’re away. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I look forward to the opportunity to get to know your fur babies! Service Areas: East Saint Paul and Surrounding Areas I am looking to care for pets everyday of the week! I do like to meet the animals prior to committing to care for them, to make sure we are a good fit. Please factor this in when booking. Fenced in yard, very calm, quiet single family home. Great place to cuddle or play in the yard. The neighbor hood is nice for going on walks too!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - South Saint Paul
Emily was great with our cat Mila and even came to meet her before we left on our vacation. She followed all instructions, communicated well with us, and was very dependable. We were comforted in knowing she would come on time to make sure Mila got her foods and meds, a few treats and also some ear and head scratches.
Summer did a great job giving my cat his medication. She did not always stay the full 30 minutes according to the app which was understandable on a holiday booking, but my cats were well cared for with her and I would be comfortable leaving them in her care again.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
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.
