About: Guaranteeing love, attention, and compassion when you need to step away from home regardless for length of time or reason. I am highly dedicated to my families and their furry family members. I add a touch of difference with the care I provide to all of the animals I work with in that I treat each one individually and never work in a "cookie cutter" approach. I started working with and training animals (horses and dogs) at the age of fifteen. Throughout the years, my interest and passion with animals grew, as well as my experience. I currently have two dogs, a german shepherd and a very entertaining rescue mix. With my german shepherd, we are a K9 team with a search and rescue organization where we are called upon by law enforcement only for people who go lost or missing throught the upper Midwest. I still currently train dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, in addition to training service dogs through an individually owned local business. Due to my long-term experience, I am able to adapt to your pets' individual needs with age, both young and old. I am trained in pet first-aid and CPR, and I am comfortable with any prescribed medical care needs you may have necessary for them. I truly enjoy building a sincere bond and connection with each family I encounter so that when they step away, they can feel at ease and enjoy their time without distress or worry. Topnotch care is my priority! I have decided after many years of working in the financial industry and family care industries, that my remaining years, I want to follow what was my childhood dream. Working with animals! With my many years of experience, I always adapt my care to each of my pets needs. As I previously had mentioned I don't believe in "cookie cutter care" approach. I tailor my care to each pets individual needs and concerns.

About: I’ve had two of my own dogs before. I’ve watched dogs overnight before. I love petting and playing with dogs. They have a therapeutic way of getting to me. I get along well with pets. Currently doing dog walking and drop-in visits. I’m currently working four days a week from 5:30 AM to around 4-4:30 PM. On those days (M-W & F), I’m available from 5:30 PM to 10 PM. I have Thursdays and the weekends off. On Thursdays, I’m available from any time in the morning until 10 PM. Saturdays, I’m willing to discuss what times work for you. Since I live in an apartment, I don’t watch anyone’s pets in my home. I’m willing to watch people’s pets in their homes. Currently doing dog walking and drop-in visits.

“We were so happy that Julia was available last minute for a weekend trip. Julia was flexible and gave us fantastic pupdates with adorable photos. One of our dogs can be shy about eating when we are gone and she went above and beyond by having him do his favorite tricks for pieces of kibble, which was exactly what I would have done! I could tell both our boys were very happy when we got home and definitely recommend Julia for drop in or housesitting services, she is kind, responsible, and dogs love her.”

I have taken care of my friends animals on numerous occasions. I moved from AZ to St Clud and several friends have flown me back to AZ to care for their pets. I am retired. I am willing to drop in and hang with your animal, feed or walk them. I am willing to stay at your home and watch your animals and your home if you need time away. I just move to St. Cloud from AZ. We have 1 dog. I would be willing to watch your animals at your home. I would be willing to take your dog on walks or just check in on your animals.

“Jessica was great with our 115 lb Labrador Retriever. This was our first booking through Rover. Jessica came over a few days before the booking to meet with us and get familiar with Louie. She was prompt, reliable, and communicative, which we greatly appreciate. We felt comfortable having her in our home and leaving our dear pup (who loves finding all sorts of trouble) in her experienced care. I would highly recommend Jessica’s pet care services.”

About: I've been around pets all my life! I love both cats and dogs! I love learning their unique personalities! I've had experience with a variety of dog breeds, both small and large! I currently don't have any pets of my own, but love to spend time with my fur siblings and friends! I'm currently working part-time so have flexible availability! If you have any questions about my availability, please message me and we can discuss any alternative days/times! Safety and trust are essential! My philosophy with pets is to allow them to establish safety and trust in their own time. I am mindful of exposure to items that are harmful to pets and adjust accordingly to reduce the probability of an incident. I also adhere to any leash laws and extreme weather recommendations.

About: My first mommy gig I ever had was when me and my husband introduced Saydie, our fun loving, energetic pup to our siblings and friends. That was 13 years ago and now I have 4 human babies and Saydie is still my side kick! She loves being a big sister! I want to first and foremost want to let you know I don’t see pets as “just animals”. They are family, best friends and loving, feeling beings that crave attention and affection from the people who take them into their homes. I know how important my Saydie is, I know how important your special one is to you! In every activity listed, i will take pride and joy making sure your pup is treated with dignity and respect. If they have special routines I will make sure outlines are strictly followed while making sure they and yourself are comfortable with the schedules. I have been through all the fun (and sometimes crazy) early puppy years with my Saydie, feel at ease knowing I will help with my best ability to make sure your pup gets through obstacles unharmed and of course, always having a ton of fun in 5e process! I’ve been through potty training many times (6 to be exact, if you count my human babies! Ha!) and am aware of the little extra time needed for you to become happy and satisfied with their status. Potty breaks a few extra times for your little fur baby, especially if they are right in the middle of training process my yard is not fenced in but it’s not too small and there’s enough space for a long yard leash to have outside time and my neighbors are very respectful, they are already used to my dog, so there won’t be any issues there. I will come to your residence to check on them or visit them. I have NO criminal background and I know how extremely imperative it is that your home is respected and cared for. Everything will be exactly as it was when you left it and I will make sure your place is locked down safely and your little fur baby is managed before I leave. I want you to feel at ease knowing everything is being well watched while you can’t be there! I am up 6am-10p everyday for my own family, I would love to invite yours to visit when your away! My children are ages 4-9 and they absolutely LOVE all kinds of animals! They are very well educated in the proper ways to behave around animals and how to handle dogs with extreme care. They love meeting new furry friends! Call or check in anytime while your dog is in my care! I want to involve you as much as I can so you are comfortable with my services! I know how leaving them can sometimes stressful for not only you, but also them. They will know they are welcome in my home. Looking to fill my day time hours with bookings for pet care. All my children attend school 9am-430pm Monday - Friday every week!! I love dogs and I lmoromkzs kn nccchhchhh No fence around my yard, but there is a long leash that makes it possible for your pup to get enough safe space while outside for whatever reason.

I have been providing these services for animals of all ages, sizes, and needs for the past 6 years on Rover.

I have graduated as pre-veterinary student at Colorado College, supporting my education and family with the work I'm the most passionate about- Animals! Currently I am putting my passion and expirience to work as I care for, examine, and treat pets of all sizes and backgrounds. All these experiences make me a dependable and knowledgeable sitter for all your fur babies and their needs 😊 My home is spacious, always supervised, and close to many walking paths and dog parks.

About: Hi, I’m Stephanie—an animal care professional with 13+ years of hands-on experience and a lifelong passion for creating safe, enriching, and loving environments for animals of all kinds. My journey has taken me from the wilderness of Alaska*, where I raised and cared for a team of Alaskan Husky sled dogs, to leadership roles in animal welfare—working my way up to Operations and CSR Lead at an animal shelter, while also serving as a Client Experience Coordinator at a busy animal emergency hospital. In early 2025, I proudly founded my own rescue, Pawsitive Tales Rescue, where I continue to advocate for and care for vulnerable animals in need. Animals aren’t just my career—they’re my life. Whether I’m caring for playful puppies, senior dogs, shy cats, or medical-needs pets, I bring patience, experience, and genuine compassion to every animal I meet. My background in shelter medicine, emergency veterinary care, rescue work, and behavior gives me the confidence to care for pets with a wide variety of personalities and needs. When I’m not working, you’ll find me outdoors adventuring with my retired sled dogs and my corgi—usually hiking, exploring, or chasing the next view. The mountains have my soul, but my heart belongs to every kitty and pup I’ve had the privilege to love. If you’re looking for someone experienced, dependable, and deeply passionate about animal welfare, your pets will be in caring and capable hands with me. I can’t wait to meet your furry family. 🐾 I’m currently working part-time at the local animal shelter and part-time as an animal care taker. In addition, I have six of my own dogs and two cats. It’s dogs and cats from the moment I wake up until I go to bed! I have a fenced in yard where your pup can run and stretch their legs as much as they want! All of my dogs are friendly and social and my cats are dog savvy. You’re pets will be treated with the best care possible - I’ll treat them as if they’re my own.

Maddison did great at taking care of my three cats. One of the cats needed some short notice changes to his care instructions, which involved some extra visits to give pain medication. Maddison was flexible with these changes and she communicated well.

Danielle was amazing with my two mini dachshunds, Max and Romeo, over the Fourth of July weekend! She was patient, kind, and kept me updated with messages, photos, and even videos throughout each visit. Romeo can be shy at first and Max can be a handful, but she handled both of them with calm energy and humor. She followed all my care instructions perfectly, cleaned up accidents without hesitation, and made sure the boys were happy and comfortable. I really appreciated her communication and how much she cared about their well‑being. I’d absolutely book Danielle again — she’s reliable, attentive, and great with dogs who have big personalities!

Elizabeth is awesome! I have booked her several times for my cat Crush. She takes great pictures and does extra things to help - like bringing in packages and hanging a rug to dry that I left in my washing machine. It's nice to know that I have someone to watch my house as well as care for my cat.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Waite Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Waite Park is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 241 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Waite Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 with handling special pet needs in Waite Park. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
