“Cassondra has been doing an amazing job with my 10-week old Corgi! Getting a new job and a new puppy at the same time was not on my bingo card and I found myself unsure how to manage all this. Enter Cassondra who has been a lifesaver. She visits twice a day to let Juniper outside and plays with her. She’s helped to clean up a couple accidents… because, that’s what happens with puppies. I don’t know what I would do without her. I appreciate her communication and pictures she sends too!”
About: I have experience owning and caring for Miniature Schnauzers and Miniature Dachshunds. These dogs have taught me so much about patience, companionship, routines, and the unique personalities and needs of different breeds. I truly love dogs and enjoy giving them the attention, affection, exercise, and care they deserve. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved when their families are away. I would treat every dog in my care like one of my own. As a self-employed person who works from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of time, attention, and companionship to the animals in my care. Working from home means I can be available throughout the day for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I’m able to work around each pet’s individual routine and needs, while still keeping up with my own work responsibilities. I love having the opportunity to give pets the care, attention, and love they deserve while their families are away. I would care for a client’s pet as if it were my own. I would follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep the pet’s feeding, medication, exercise, and potty schedule consistent, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I would also keep the home clean and safe, provide regular updates to the owner, and make sure their pet feels comfortable, loved, and secure while they’re away.
“Whitney was excellent with our two dogs, Sadie and Joey, while we were away for a week. She is very trustworthy and communicates well. We will be using her again in the future! Thank you Whitney for taking such great care of our fur babies!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 10 years, house-sitting for friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues. Potty-trained puppies, taught tricks to both cats and dogs, and worked with dogs of all ages on proper leash manners. Every animal I’ve owned has been a rescue, so I’m familiar with the trauma and anxiety a lot of dogs carry. That means I move slowly with nervous pets, let them set the pace, and never force interaction. My own Lab-Pitty mix has severe allergies, so I’ve mastered the art of hiding medicine in treats - pills, drops, whatever your pet needs. I’m home most of the day, so your pet won’t be sitting alone waiting for me. I’ll stick to their normal feeding and walk schedule, and send photo updates so you know exactly how they’re doing. Pets are never left unsupervised outside. My HOA doesn’t allow fences, so all potty breaks and outdoor time happen on leash with me right there. If your dog is comfortable on a tie-out and you’re okay with it, I’m happy to use one - always supervised, but leash is my default. Indoors, I keep exterior doors and gates checked, store food and medications out of reach, and give new pets a slow introduction to the space before they have the run of it. When I’m house-sitting, I follow your routine exactly: same feeding times, same walk schedule, same rules you have at home. I ask for your vet’s info and the nearest emergency clinic before every stay, and I’ll text you right away if anything seems off. My own dog (a friendly, well-socialized Lab-Pitty mix) lives here, so your dog will have company. I do slow, leashed introductions before anyone’s off duty, and I can keep them separated with gates and crates if your dog prefers their own space or if it’s just not a match.
“My two dogs loved Emily! She stopped over to play with them and let them out while I was at work. She was quick with her responses and updated me on how the visitor went which I really appreciated! Thank you Emily!”
“Alex was awesome with our chocolate lab Trigger! She communicates great, cares for Trig so well and Trigger absolutely loves her! She did drop ins while I was on vacation and we couldn’t trust her more. We 100% recommend Alex and will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have had experience caring for dogs of all ages and breeds. I have a very open and flexible schedule, and absolutely love working with animals and will treat them with the utmost love and care. I’ve just moved to the area from Florida where I was working full time in pet care, so I’m looking to build back up my clientele and do what I love the most which is helping others take care of their pets! I’m in an apartment so I don’t currently offer any boarding services. However, I’m happy to provide exercise and play time with your animals and give them all my love and care!
“Julia did an incredible job with my cats. Very communicative, sent great photos, and overall did a great job with them. One of my cats requires regular medication and had no problems administering the meds. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”
“Highly recommend Kallyn to watch your pets! She was great at communication, has a lot of experience taking care of animals, and genuinely cares about their well-being. I know my senior cat was in excellent hands!! I will definitely ask kallyn to take of my pets in the future.”
About: I have had a wide range of animals including rodents, reptiles, aquatics, and a dog. I have watched my friend’s dogs and cats, as well as rodents. Many of these animals have been seniors, so I have experience with medications and helping with their specific needs! If you have an animal outside of dogs and cats that you need a sitter for, please reach out! I am a full time veterinary technician student, but I have lots of free time! My classes range from 4-8 hours, but I am willing to stay with your beloved pets for the time I am not in school! I loved to go sit outside with my dog when he would go out, and that would be the same with your pets! Making sure that animals are safe is always my number one priority! I do require a meet and greet of both you and your pets! I also ask to know the rules that your pets should follow and if there’s specific needs that I need to meet! If you live in Hastings, Cottage Grove, Apple Valley, Inver Grove Heights, Woodbury, Farmington, Lakeville, or Afton and are looking for a sitter feel free to message me! Sadly, I am not currently servicing the twin cities.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and puppies since I was little. I treat them all like my own. If your animal has been requests I can accommodate. I work from home at night time so any time works for me since I have a yard for them to play and live life I don’t mind hosting them in my own or going to the clients home to assist the animals I take my own dog on a walk three times a day so if I am taking care of your dog they will get enough walks as well
About: Hi! I’m Courtney. I’ve always been the person who ends up spending more time with the pets than the people. I love getting to know every dog’s or cat’s personality, whether they’re playful, goofy, shy, or happiest snuggled up on the couch. Honestly, hanging out with animals is one of my favorite ways to spend a day. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets for years, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether that means walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just keeping them company while you’re away, I’m happy to meet them where they’re most comfortable. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pet! I currently work, but I have a flexible schedule and can often adjust my hours to fit your pet’s needs. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that keeps your pet comfortable and cared for. My biggest priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, keep a close eye on them, and make sure they always have what they need. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, and while I haven’t had the opportunity to give injectable medications yet, I’m more than willing to learn if you’re able to show me your pet’s routine. Every animal is different, and I enjoy getting to know what helps each one feel the most comfortable so they can feel at home even while you’re away.

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 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.
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 Meet & Greet .
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.
