About: Have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life! Started professionally caring for cats and dogs about a year ago. Absolutely love doing it!! I currently work a full-time day job but have a lot of evening and weekend flexibility. Available during the week starting after 5pm and weekends I am available all day. I follow all the rules the client sets for how they want their pet taken care of when in their own home. I always ask questions if unsure.

About: Hello! I'm a reliable and trustworthy petsitter. I've been a cat and dog mom for 30 years, including older animals, including hospice care. I have experience with a variety of breeds and sizes (both cats and dogs). I have a flexible schedule and often work at home, giving me plenty of time to love on my pet visitors and get some exercise! I have a fenced in yard, perfect for dogs who like to play outside. I have a very flexible job that I am able to plan around to accommodate the needs of pets in my care. I enjoy being active and am available for walks or backyard play daily. Your baby is my baby when in my care. I’m detail oriented and will communicate with you via pics or text daily if requested. If there is anything specific that your pet needs or you'd like me to work on with them, I'd love to know that so I can give the best care possible.

About: I've lived in Eagan for over 30 years and I've had a love of dogs my entire life. I grew up with a dog and feel incredibly fortunate to have raised my three children alongside my husband, sharing our home with a Toy Poddle, a Golden Retriever, and a Great Dane mix. We treasured every stage of their lives, from playful puppies to their senior years. My passion for animals also led me to spend several years volunteering at the Animal Humane Society. While we don't currently have any pets in our home, I look forward to visits from my three grand-puppies. And of course, our backyard chickens bring plenty of charm and personality to our daily lives. In the past I have also had hamsters and tropical fish, and have knowledge of caring for cats. I retired early so I have alot of free time. Otherwise I fill my time with caring for our chickens, visiting my parents and caring for my Grandkids and Grandpuppies when needed. I have a fenced in backyard with a seperate fenced area for the chickens. I take direction well and I'm very respectful of the wishes of my clients.

About: I grew up with dogs, mostly yellow Labrador retrievers. I also had a dog of my own through college and lived with 3 dogs for several years, so I am comfortable with feeding, walking, etc. I am working part-time in the mornings, so I have full afternoons and weekends available for pet care. My children are also with me at all times. I have a fenced in yard for safe playing outdoors, and two children who enjoy playing with dogs, so we can keep your dog safe and entertained

“Excellent communication!!”


About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and love making new furry friends! My dog care experience ranges from senior dogs with health needs to puppies with boundless energy to reactive dogs. I prioritize safety, positivity, and fun! You can feel confident that your pet will be in responsible hands — and having a great time while you’re away. I love being outside, and I’m passionate about meeting dogs’ needs for both mental and physical stimulation with creative enrichment activities. I work remotely, so I’d love to hang out with your pup while I take a Zoom meeting or go on a walk over my lunch break. I’m also available many weeknights and weekends. Safety is top priority for me. I’m proactive in ensuring my environment is as safe as possible, with nothing potentially harmful to pets in the vicinity. My yard is not fenced, so dogs are leashed when we go outside.


About: I have been a dog owner/carer since I was young, and as an adult I have owned many dogs. My dogs are like my children and I have only ever used Rover for their care, which is why I know I would make a great sitter. I am retired, live an active lifestyle and have a pup who will be 2 in June 2025. We walk at least twice a day and hit the dog park for extra exercise. I am retired and can make anything work, including early morning dropoffs, late night pickups, plenty of potty breaks and walks. Also any number of drop ins to your home. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a decent front and side yard. The local walking path and park is just a block away. I can offer one portable crate if needed. My own pet stays in a crate at night and when I am away. I have a gate to the stairs and she is not upstairs.

“Dylan takes such good care of my kitties! He lets me know how they’re doing and sends the best photos to me! I will definitely book him again!”


About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life. I’ve sat and owned a variety of animals and pride myself on being knowledgeable on every kind. Neighbors and friends have tasked me with feeding, medicating, walking and loving their pets. I hope I can do the same for you. I am currently living at home and tend to spend my time indoors so I have lots of flexibility and free time to care for your pets. I will be very respectful of your rules for your house and pets. I understand routines and certain safety precautions for your home and pets. Everyone has a way of doing things and I am willing to stick to yours.

“So glad to have found Rachel via Rover! She is reliable, flexible, communicative and accessible, and has done a great job in just two drop-in sessions with my two Cavalier King Charles Spaniel mixes. We are looking forward to a many more visits from her.”


About: Hi there! I’m Autumn. I’ve been dog-sitting since I was in third grade, so taking care of dogs has been a part of my life for a long time. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to care for all kinds of dogs, big and small, and even grew up with a variety of different breeds as family pets. Whether it’s an energetic pup that loves to run or a laid-back dog who just wants to snuggle, I’m comfortable with all types. Here’s what you can expect from me: Experience you can trust: With years of dog-sitting under my belt, I know how to keep your dog safe, happy, and well-cared for. From feeding schedules to walks and playtime, I’ve got it covered! Tailored care: I’ll make sure your dog gets the specific care they need. Each pet is unique, and I’ll follow their routine to keep them comfortable and content. Plenty of love and attention: Your dog won’t be left alone or bored. I’m all about quality time, whether it’s playing fetch, going on walks, or just hanging out. Updates along the way: I’ll send you photos and updates so you can relax knowing your dog is in great hands. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and can’t wait to meet yours. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to set up a meet-and-greet! Pet sitting seamlessly fits into my daily schedule as I work from home on weekdays and I am often home on the weekends. Whether it's mid-morning walks, playtime, or meals, I can easily incorporate these tasks between meetings or work sessions I have throughout the day. I would love to host your pet in my 3 bedroom home that I share with my boyfriend of 4 years. Our community has a lot of pedestrian only walking paths that our neighborhood dogs use daily - lots of good smells to check out for your pup!

“Summer dog sat our two dogs for 5 days. One of our dogs is difficult – she is a highly protective Chihauhau/Corgi rescue prone to lunging, nipping, and sometimes biting. Summer managed this dog extremely well, so well that there were no incidents while under her care. Summer is thoughtful, planful, and did a wonderful job with our dogs. I highly recommend her.”

Rilyn sent me frequent updates and cute photos, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. I could tell my pup was being well cared for and loved. I highly recommend Rilyn to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

Sadie M.
“I'd highly recommend Sadie, who has cared for our pets in our home several times. I’ve known Sadie since she was young, and it’s been a joy to watch her grow into a responsible, thoughtful young adult with a genuine love for animals. Sadie is consistently reliable and trustworthy. We’re especially grateful for the way she manages our dog’s epilepsy medication with care and confidence; she understands the routine and knows exactly what to monitor, which gives us real peace of mind while we’re away. She’s also a great communicator, sending regular updates and photos that keep us reassured. Sadie handles both our dog and cat with ease, respecting their very different personalities and needs. Every time we return home, our pets are happy and well cared for, which is the best possible sign of great pet care. We trust Sadie completely with both our pets and our home, and that kind of trust is priceless, especially when health issues are involved.”

Autumn Z.
“Autumn has a deep love for dogs. I've watched her skillfully interact with these pups for the last few years and have always been left impressed. She has cared for a variety of dogs including small and large, active and inactive and she does a great job with them all. She is great at incorporating them into her active lifestyle or adjusting to be more of a companion to them while watching television on the couch. Whichever dog is lucky enough to have her as a caregiver, I have no doubts she will be both responsible and loving!”
