About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have always had a soft spot for all furry friends. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and favorite way to spend the day, so I always take the time to get to know what makes them happiest and the most comfortable while away from their best friend! Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cozy naps, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to match their energy and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your furry family member like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and I love taking pictures of these adorable, quirky, animals! My favorite thing growing up was to see picture updates of my dog while on vacation, so I will always do the same for my clients! Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I am working full time, but have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for, whether that means morning walks, midday potty breaks, playtime, feedings, or evening cuddles. I enjoy getting outside, staying active, and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always take the time to learn their routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special preferences or instructions. In a client’s home, I treat both their pet and their home with the same respect and care I would my own. I’ll keep your pet company, make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection, and leave your home just as I found it. If I’m caring for a pet in my own home, I’ll provide a clean, safe, and welcoming environment where they can relax, play, and feel right at home. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can see how much fun your furry friend is having while you’re away!
“Julie did a great job of taking care of my cat. It took him a day or so to warm up to her and from then on he walked right up to her for fun games. She kept in touch daily. I will use her again.”


“I had a wonderful experience with Kiana! She took excellent care of my cats and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear they genuinely cared about my pets and paid attention to their individual needs. I came home to happy, relaxed cats and everything was clean and in great shape. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my furry family!”

“Yuanqing (Ping Ping) was extraordinary! My cats are quite shy, but she kept me updated on them, and even managed to make friends with them! Really remarkable level of service. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I will be sure to request her services the next time I have to leave town.”

“Tara checked in daily on our two cats while we were away for 8 days. She was a great communicator, always letting us know when she would be there and how the kitties were doing.”

“Hanna was responsible, communicative and loving to our dog while we were away. She went above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable and happy. We look forward to using her services again in the future!”

About: Pets have been part of my family for my whole life. Current animals in my home include Timber (a 8-year-old English Cream Retriever) and Cedar (a 6-year-old tuxedo cat who is comfortable with cat-friendly dogs). My 1/4 acre lot features a large, fenced yard with plenty of room to run, and I am home almost all the time, so I can provide all the care and attention your pet needs. I look forward to meeting your furry family member! I work from home with a ton of flexibility. My schedule allows me the flexibility to give your pet all of the care they need. Your pet will receive constant care and attention with plenty of opportunity to play in my large, fenced yard. The interior of my family's home features plenty of space for your pet to relax comfortably, with room for crating if your pet needs. I have experience with pets who need medication (my own takes a twice daily medication) or special care. I would love to invite you to stop by for a meet-and-greet!
“Katelyn was awesome. She took care of Sherlock while I was away, and he looked better than when I left. Katelyn was very punctual always showing up when she said she would. I wholeheartedly refer her to anyone who has need of their loved furry one being taken care of while they are gone. Thanks Katelyn!”


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).

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember and grew up in a household where they were always part of the family. Because of that, caring for dogs has always felt really natural to me—from walks and playtime to feeding, routines, and, of course, plenty of attention and cuddles! While I’m newer to Rover, I’m not new to pet care. Over the years, I’ve helped care for dogs for friends, family, and people in my circle when they’ve been away or needed an extra hand. I know how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust taking care of your pet, especially when you can’t be there yourself. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and very comfortable following whatever routine your dog is used to. I’m also happy to send plenty of photos and updates—I know I’d want the same if someone were watching my dog! My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. I know every dog has their own personality, boundaries, and routine, so I always take the time to learn what makes each pet comfortable. I’ll closely follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, crate routines, household rules, or anything else that helps keep your dog happy and safe. When I’m caring for a pet in their own home, I’m also very respectful of the space and want you to feel comfortable knowing both your pet and your home are being looked after.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 8 or 9, mostly family dogs to start. I have also house sat for not only family dogs but friends as well. I work at a doggie daycare facility currently, so I am familiar with dog behaviors and care. I currently work full-time in evenings, so that gives plenty of morning time for walks and cuddles. I am available for both boarding and daily care most of my week and always try to be flexible with clients. I love to have animals be as comfortable as they can be in their owners home, whatever that might look like. My goal is to make the clients and dogs as comfortable as possibly while building trust and good relationship.
About: I have lived with cats since I was 14 years old and have looked after cats and dogs independently since I was 16. I am comfortable with administering medications from my time working at Grand Avenue Veterinary Clinic. I typically work a week day that leaves me away from the house from the hours of 7am to 7pm. Please consider this when determining if I would be a good option for caring for your furry family! As I will be in your and your pets home, making sure everyone is comfortable with me in the space! My goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible while you are away. If you have any specific concerns about going on walks or interacting with other humans and pets please let me know so I can abide by what works best for your family. I have been trained on how to pill animals who are nervous about medication to ensure that your pet recieves their medication and remains safe and supported in the process. If you should ask me to take care of your home I make sure to grab the mail daily and follow the motto of leave it better than you found it! I want to have you to come home to a clean house.

About: I bring a strong foundation of trust, safety, and attentiveness from my background in law enforcement, along with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy, working breeds that require structure and engagement, to puppies needing patience and consistency, as well as older dogs who benefit from a calmer, attentive approach. I have experience with basic obedience reinforcement, leash handling, and reading canine behavior to ensure safe, positive interactions at all times. I’m also knowledgeable in pet safety and emergency awareness, with training that supports quick, calm decision-making if needed. As someone who prioritizes physical health and an active lifestyle, I enjoy providing dogs with the exercise, stimulation, and attention they need to stay happy and well-balanced. Whether your dog needs structured walks, playtime, or just reliable, loving care while you’re away, I’m confident and comfortable handling it all. I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the day. I’m typically available from the early morning through the evening, with the most flexibility during daytime hours. Because my schedule is adaptable, I’m able to work around each pet’s individual routine—whether that means an early-morning walk, a midday check-in, feeding, playtime, or evening care. I’m open to adjusting my availability when needed and working with owners to find a schedule that best fits their pets’ needs. My goal is to make pet care feel consistent, reliable, and stress-free for both you and your pet while you’re away. As a former law enforcement officer, safety, responsibility, and trust have always been at the heart of what I do. I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving both your pet and your home in someone else’s care—and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. When caring for your pet, I treat your home with the same respect and attention to detail I would expect in my own. I’m mindful of doors, gates, alarms, keys, access points, and anything else that helps keep your home secure while you’re away. I’m also attentive to your pet’s surroundings and routines to help prevent accidents, escapes, or anything that could put them at risk. Most importantly, I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I take the time to understand their personality, routines, needs, and boundaries rather than treating every pet the same. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, needs extra patience, is shy around new people, or simply wants some companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they are. You can have peace of mind knowing that your pet is receiving attentive, dependable care—and that your home is being treated with the same level of respect and responsibility. I’m also happy to provide updates, photos, and communication throughout the visit so you never have to wonder how things are going. My goal is for you to feel confident and reassured from the moment you hand over the leash to the moment you walk back through your door.
“Joel provided an amazing drop-in service for us twice daily for 6 days for our 4 senior Dachshunds. He communicated with us each time he stopped by and sent pictures of the pups eating, getting some outdoor play time and settling down for naps until his next visit. They truly bonded with him because he gave them the kind of attention they crave—food, belly rubs and back scratches. One of the pups is blind and he helped her up and down the steps to walk in the grass. We could enjoy our trip knowing our pups were getting great care and attention while their needs were being met. Very satisfied with the job Joel did for us!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vadnais Heights
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!

Anna took care of my cat via drop in visits while I was hiking out west, and whenever I came out of the mountains and had internet service and checked my messages, there was an update from Anna with a picture of my kitty. She kept me in the loop the whole time, had no issues, and I never had to worry! Highly recommended!

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.

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.
