About: My husband & I both work during the day so your pet would be alone from approximately 730a-3p. We frequently go for walks after work or play ball in our modest back yard. I grew up with dogs in my home and always had the responsibility of caring for them. I have worked with a variety of breeds and sizes and am comfortable with them all. I am familiar with separation anxiety. I have a high energy young labrador so after work I typically take a long walk or go to the park to play ball. My pup is friendly to other dogs and has no hesitation sharing his toys, food, or humans. I allow dogs on the bed but will follow your house rules to ensure consistency. For drop ins I am available in the early mornings and after 430pm to stop in and care for your pet. I try to be as flexible as possible! I have a cat and dog in my home and they are both up to date on all vaccinations. Colt, is a beautiful lab with the sweetest temper. I have a modest yard with plenty of room for a dog to run but do not have a fence.
About: I love dogs and would love to watch or walk yours!! I've watched many dogs in my life of neighbors or friends. I've done drop-ins and dog walk for several years now. I currently have 2 dogs!! I'm pretty flexible, let me know what your needs are and I can most likely fit them in!! Most mornings and afternoons I'm free, evenings are a little busier. I'm willing to drive to your house to walk your dog. Also, if you are gone on vacation or work during the day I can come drop in a few times a day and play/fed/walk your pup!

About: I’ve grown up with family dogs my entire life. Because of that, I have quite a lot of experience dealing with more “stubborn” breeds like Irish Setters and Keeshonds. I’m willing to be just about as patient as it takes to truly understand your pet and all of their wonderful quirks! In the past I’ve some done pet sitting for friends over holidays- which, upon request, could include a handful of daily photos for the family missing their precious pet! If needed, I also have lots of experience washing dogs with wide varieties of coats(silky to triple coated). I would be more than happy to bathe your furry friend as long as the products are supplied! I’m currently unemployed and on summer break from college and am free at just about all hours of the day to come hang out with your pet! I wake up quite early and am available both weekdays, and weekends. Depending on your dog’s needs, I will clean up any of their messes and make sure to always be at least keeping an eye on them. Most of the time I’m there, I will prioritize keeping them company, playing with them, and caring for them. I will also take them for walks and let them outside as needed!
“Melanie was wonderful as always! Our cats are always happy to see her . Everything was smooth and easy. Love the pictures she sends of the cats each visit. Will use her to watch our cats again in the future!!”

About: I am currently training to be a certified veterinary technician and can use my knowledge to ensure your pet is as safe with me as possible. I love to raise/ care for animals so even though I do it as a job. Just a little extra thing I can do for the community. Puppy/kitty proof home like a baby and always like to familiarize myself with the environment before I care for a pet. I will also want any contact information and medical history of each pet to understand them.

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.
“Our dogs are happy when we leave so they can have their BFF Sharron come to play! Wipes away the guilt of being away when they feel like they’re on their own vacation.”

“If I could give 10 stars I would. Ciboney is so incredible- we have two cats and fish and lots of plants. She’s so communicative and kind! We’re so grateful to have her take care of our little ones❤️”

About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was a baby. I have always enjoyed being around animals and playing with them and building trust with them and being able to cuddle with them on tough days. I have had different types of animals in my life. I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamster, bearded dragon. I currently work part time as a nanny on mondays and Friday and I also currently am trying to create my own business of refurbishing furniture when I have the time. So I am available most days. If yard is fenced I let them run and play and watch them at all times. Otherwise I will put a leash on them so they stay close. I will also pay attention to where they are at all times.
About: I DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PETS ALONE AT NIGHT or during the day IF REQUIRED and or REQUESTED. If you want to know your home and fur family are safe and have consistent interaction and love I do not work any shifts as a nurse while I work for you. I would be with them other than running to the store or to get my toddler, and could also take them with me if you wanted. I offer 24/7 care for your furry, bald, or scaly family members. For extended stay house sitting I will adjust my service radius and accept further distance or travel time. I’m very passionate about any owner feeling confident (and not occupied or distracted) wondering if someone is taking care of things. I don’t leave animals alone at night unless you specifically say so. I have a lot of experience with geriatric animals as well as anxious, barky dogs, cats with mental issues, chickens, exotic animals; reptiles such as large snakes and lizards, spiders, 🕷️ little furry friends, hedgehogs, fish, toucans, macaws, parrots, small birds and ferrets to name a few. I was 6 when I started my first job! I’m happily teaching my daughter young at the age of 4 It was me banging on your door and (without any introductions) yelling excitedly.. “DO YOU HAVE A DOG HOW MANY? ARE YOU CAT PEOPLE!? IS IT NICE ? CAN I WALK IT ? WHATS ITS NAME ? CAN I GIVE IT TREATS ? PEOPLE FOOD ? And yes that was ALL one sentence no response necessary as I welcomed myself further into your house to look for said dog…cat or leash and your cookie jar which led me to my next question; “do you have any cookies or cakes I can have?” .🤦🏻♀️ Luckily I was just cute and outgoing enough to be welcomed over to play with the pets and tire them out for you! One day you would find me in your (locked or out of reach handle) SIX FOO TALL FENCED INI yard with your dogs or waiting for you to open the door I WAS OBSESSED 😬 eventually when you saw my strong bond and trust with your fur-balls you thought might not like kids…..I WAS IN!! Official dog walker with a new addition to my schedule. Which admittedly did lead to neighborhood search parties for your dog, thinking it ran away from the little girl two young to take care of it! (sorry Fur parents) they were actually sitting with me in my bedroom on my bed/refrigerator box made in to my dog fort (eating approved treats only!!) at my lame goldfish tank petless house. Just 7 wild sisters I couldn’t even trade for one dog!? Come on DAD! Anyways it’s a passion and a hobby, I have trained puppies have several weeks old to sit shake and lay down within a short period of time, I took my Aunt’s dogs always to doggy daycare and as an adult my past babies to fully owner trained facilities, I am a nurse of 14 years so I have all the BLS credentials as well as ACLS medical training, medication knowledge and after so many 20+ year old cats and dogs (my aunt really kept them happy!!) i’ve given just about every injection topical oral anal glandular ointment insulin you anti parasitic viral fungal and nasal! Yea nasal medication there is. At times living with my aunt who always had at least two dogs….and 5 cats…and a squirrel maybe some fish or my secret pet rat she knew nothing about (and was an actual wild rat I befriended) god I hope she doesn’t read this…now at 33 I am comfortable with “very pet friendly” houses, clutter or hoarding does not bother me as I grew up in many different homes and usually had multiple animals ranging from fish, Burmese pythons birds mice dragons, lizards, animal smells do not bother me, I have no allergies, I have no pets myself currently. There are a lot of people who offer cheaper services than I do so if your just looking for someone to basically stop and drop food you can save money picking someone else. **pricing reflects Rovers fluctuating meet and greet, booking, distance, duration and APP taxes & fees** I don’t work for anyone but you when I watch your family member(s) I! am flexible with availability, love all animals and creatures (besides leaches ticks and centipedes) I offer free grooming in your home for any docile candidates as well as wound care, med management, and oh yea ALL THE CUDDLES. I can get them to appointments if needed, as a first responder and nurse of 14 years I am very adept at recognizing any signs of distress, distrust, or pain. I have been able to safely manage situations that so quickly could have went bad by recognizing slight stance variation, a quick glance or change in affect on your baby. Typically if someone is noticeably obnoxious (or a kid with no training comes and puts its sticky hand in front of your babes face randomly while on a walk…I would expect nothing less and therefore am prepared. Hey we can’t all get along all the time right? For extended care with any animals that have separation anxiety or disabilities I prefer to care for animals in their home environment. Humans usually prefer not uprooting as animals do as well, it limits anxieties and the unknown. There’s at least familiarity and their own controlled routine. I do not mind doing doggy daycare or boarding a Young rambunctious pup that may not be bonded to an environment yet But typically they are so much more comfortable in their home, and you have peace of mind when you are away that not only your babies are being watched, but your property as well. As a basic care provider as well as certifications and years of being an emergency responder, safety is first. First and foremost. That applies to living beings first as well as home and surroundings. Knowing the correct commands and the rules that kids like to break when parents are away is always important and helps Foster trust and confidence between myself and your pets. Just as children crave structure and routine animals are no different! And if I’m being honest, sometimes easier.
About: I graduated college as a Veterinary Technician and I currently work at a vet clinic that deals with dogs, cats, and all exotic and caged pets! So I have the medical knowledge to keep your pet safe and the passionate heart to keep them happy! I love going for runs, walks, hikes, or also just cuddling and watching Netflix and giving scratches. I have an extra soft spot for senior pets that might need some special care or just a warm lap to know that someone is there for them. (Especially if they can’t see or hear) I’m a very calm and patient person. I’ve worked with the smallest teacup breeds to the 250+ pound, slobbery giant breeds. I’d love to treat your pet as my own!

About: I have my own German Shepherd I have had since she was 6 months. As well as having been around dogs a good portion of my life, I do my best to be what she needs I work very part-time at a dominoes, usually only 4-8 hours a week, i do have appointments on Tuesdays, lasting only about 2 hours so I am always home and have plenty of time for your beloved doggos I do not have a fenced yard, but I do have a firmly secured tie-out and extra leashes for outside potty breaks and/or walks, as well as a 5 year old German Shepherd (she is spade) Who is very happy and animal friendly
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Trenton
We left our sugar baby Binx home for a couple days to attend a wedding and Shylina did an outstanding job popping in and making sure he ate and received his insulin without hitch. She gave us peace of mind with proactive communication, provided detailed updates, took care of his litter box and even let him hang outside with her for a little bit (which undoubtedly was the highlight of his day). We are so blessed to have Shylina help out with Binx every so often, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services to anyone who reasonably needs a little extra attention for their fur baby! We all adore Shylina!

Wonderful. Very happy with the in home cat sitting versus putting my cat in a kennel. Shylina was very professional and provided daily updates on Bud which gave me confidence that Bud was okay while I was gone. I also was impressed that we had a meeting before I went on vacation and Shylina got to meet Bud and know what to expect. Will never put Bud a kennel again as this is so much better and easier, especially with someone like Shylina.

Shylina, Shyliiinaaa! Top notch! We are so blessed and thankful to have found such a good person to check in on our fur baby! We can’t sing her phrases enough! Our cat has diabetes and needs a little extra care and attention around feeding time. Shylina gave us peace of mind while away for one of his feedings & injection. Binx was so well taken care of, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Shylina gave us a full report and sent pics of Binx. The drop in visit went without hitch and we couldn’t be more happy. Shylina is so professional and good with our pet. She is a true animal lover. Honestly, in terms of finding a pet sitter it’s more of a question of: Does she have time and want to come back than, would we have her back? We wouldn’t hesitate. Again, we are grateful to have found someone trustworthy and who cares about our pet. 😆 Shylina is the best! Thank you Shylina!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
