“Amanda took amazing care of my dear old kitty, Dan! He isn't always the nicest to strangers, but he warmed right up to Amanda. It was clear that he looked forward to her visits while we were gone. Amanda was also super-responsive and super-detailed in her reports after each visit. I felt like Dan and our home were in really good hands; we could rest easy and enjoy our time with family knowing Amanda was there to take care of things!”
“We loved receiving all the photo updates and seeing how happy our dogs were! We trusted they were in wonderful hands with Leeann. She was reliable, friendly, and we’d absolutely rebook her again.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds and a wide variety of other animals. I’m excited to meet your pet and provide them everything they need! As a student in wildlife biology I have a fairly flexible schedule. Please contact me about days that are not immediately listed on my profile. Walks, cuddles, feeding, playing, medicating, cleaning up after, and general husbandry/enrichment are just the start of what I can provide for your pets. Please let me know about any particular services you may need!
“Gavin took great care of our dog, Luna, and my brother’s dog, Ike, over the holiday weekend. He was reliable, communicative, and kept us updated with photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups and would gladly book with Gavin again. Highly recommend! 🐾”
About: I’ve had all sorts of animals in my life and always have enjoyed the love and care an animal is able to give us! My dad and I had an amazing black lab, Willie, while I was growing up. When Willie got older, I helped with some of his senior care such as changing his diapers. My dad and I also had two guinea pigs while I was in high school, they were so fun and I loved how much personality they had. My mom was in the Southern area of the states for about a year, and ended up coming back to Minnesota with two cats and moved in with me! I partner with my mom for their every-day care (feeding, cleaning litter box, cutting nails) often. I have also cat-sat for my friend, whose kitty had just gotten several teeth removed - so she needed some oral medications while I was caring for her. This included pill and syringe medications. As for pets that are solely my own, I have a 5-year-old horse named Atlas that I purchased after graduating from college. He has been such an amazing learning experience and I appreciate our partnership so much. I currently work full-time, and have a bit of a varying schedule day-to-day but am often out of the house for 8+ hours a day. For this reason I’m unsure if house-sitting dogs would be a great fit for my weekday schedule unless they were close by to my work, where I could stop by during my lunch and give them a potty break. Otherwise could totally do weekends! My work schedule typically hasn’t been obstructive to cat care, unless the cat is fed in small portions more than twice a day. Then, I may need to stop in during my lunch break - or find another way to split their feedings appropriately. I strive to care for any pet just as their owner would. I do know some animals are wary of strangers and I will respect your pet’s boundaries - so if they seem shy or nervous about me, I will absolutely give them space. If an animal is social and excited, I am more than happy to give pets, cuddle, and play! Additionally, more than happy to clean up any litter boxes (cats) or outside excrement (dogs).
“Victoria was awesome. Arrived on time and kept communication lines open. Teddy loved the drop in visits as well. Would recommend her and would use her again! Thank you for taking care of Teddy for me!”
About: Hi, my name is Mark. I love meeting people's pets of all kinds. I have been caring for animals since I was a child. I also have a master's degree in behavioral science. My combination of lived experience and knowledge of behavioral science uniquely equips me to care for your animals in a kind and gentle manner, while still being responsible and reliable. These skills prepare me to help relax and de-escalate with anxious animals. I have a job which is flexible with my schedule, including working from home and choosing my own hours, which allows me more time with pets! I have a back yard with a fence that my senior dog can play in, as well as many parks nearby my home in Roseville.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats! People relied on me to take care of their babies and I did it effectively and with love❤️ I work a full time job but I work 4 days on - 4 days off so I am available during those days off to help! I know many dog parks that is something you’d be comfortable with your pet going to! I could bring my pups as well if you are comfortable with that
“Amy is wonderful! Super responsive at our last minute booking request and was able to help us out in a pinch! She shared tons of fun photos and I can tell my dogs loved her and her them! We will definitely use Amy again! 🐶❤️🐶”
“Kat has made a very sad puppy happy. Thank you for helping us out during this time. Emma is returning to her normal self after losing her partner in crime.”
“Our rescue dog is very anxious, and nervous around new people. Lydia has been very patient with her, much of her drop in visits have just been sitting with her, getting to know her, and keeping her company while I am at work. I am hoping Libby will get comfortable enough to trust that it is ok to go outside!”
About: Hello everyone! My name is Kelsey and like you I absolutely love animals. I have been a pet sitter for over six years. In total I have 10 years total of caring for animals in a few other capacities. I have experience with reactive dogs and giving animals their medicine. During the week I only have evening availability for cat care or dog walks/potty breaks. That will likely be after 6pm and no overnights during the week except for Fridays. Weekends I will have more availability throughout the day for daytime visits. For overnights I can do Fridays and Saturdays for a 10-12 hour timeframe. The pet sitting services that I offer are for at the clients home. Any care given may vary depending on what the clients needs for their pet or pets.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for as long as I can remember. Our family dog was the same age as me, so I truly grew up side by side with a pet and learned what it means to care for an animal through every stage of life from the beginning to the end. I started pet sitting for family friends back in junior high, and I grew up helping care for our own cats and dog in my parent’s house. While in college, I had roommates with cats which I enjoyed and would frequently pet sit for my godparents and other friends as well. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and love they need while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I currently have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of bookings. In the coming weeks, I will be working Monday through Friday from 8:00–4:30, but I will still be available for pet care after work on weekdays, as well as available on weekends. I do my best to be upfront about availability and communicate clearly, so we can find a schedule that works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow care instructions closely and make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and well cared for. I keep environments clean, calm, and pet-friendly, paying close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I always aim to create a loving environment where pets feel safe, happy, and at home.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Vadnais Heights choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
