“Macy provided great care for our two beloved cats. She was on time and followed instructions. She gave us updates and made us feel happy that our cats were safe in her care.”

About: Have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life! Started professionally caring for cats and dogs about a year ago. Absolutely love doing it!! I currently work a full-time day job but have a lot of evening and weekend flexibility. Available during the week starting after 5pm and weekends I am available all day. I follow all the rules the client sets for how they want their pet taken care of when in their own home. I always ask questions if unsure.
About: I’ve had the joy of raising and caring for two dogs—first a Doberman, and later a toy poodle—giving me firsthand experience with both large and small breeds. I also have experience working with children, and I believe the patience and attentiveness required for both roles strongly complement each other. In addition, I live an active lifestyle, so dog walking is not only something I enjoy—it’s a perfect fit. Whether your dog needs a high-energy walk or a more gentle stroll, I’m happy to match their pace and personality. I’m reliable, observant, and committed to keeping your pet safe, happy, and well-cared for. I work full-time at Amazon, where I’m constantly on the move walking and running to deliver packages—so staying active is part of my daily routine. I work weekends and start in the afternoons, which means my mornings and days off (Tuesdays and Wednesdays) are ideal for weekday walks or drop-ins, especially for busy pet parents needing reliable care during the day. I currently live in an apartment, so at the moment I’m offering dog walking only. However, I’m excited to expand my services in the future as my space and schedule allow. My goal is to build trusted relationships with both pets and their owners while providing reliable, active care.
“Danielle was attentive, always in contact, and did her due diligence in dealing with my reactive dog. I could not have asked for a better sitter while I was gone for family reasons. If she’d be willing I’d definitely book her again!”
“This experience has been just phenomenal! Donna was very patient with my girls and her daily checkin was what I waited for every day I was away! What a pleasure to find a wonderful service that does exactly what they say they'll do! Thanks again!”
About: I have been a dog owner/carer since I was young, and as an adult I have owned many dogs. My dogs are like my children and I have only ever used Rover for their care, which is why I know I would make a great sitter. I am retired, live an active lifestyle and have a pup who will be 2 in June 2025. We walk at least twice a day and hit the dog park for extra exercise. I am retired and can make anything work, including early morning dropoffs, late night pickups, plenty of potty breaks and walks. Also any number of drop ins to your home. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a decent front and side yard. The local walking path and park is just a block away. I can offer one portable crate if needed. My own pet stays in a crate at night and when I am away. I have a gate to the stairs and she is not upstairs.
“Lacie did an amazing job with lenny. She befriended him instantly, gave him lots of love and gave me lots of updates, pictures, and videos. 10/10 would recommend her.”
“My cat was in good hands while I was away. Nicole spent time playing and cuddling and sent cute photos. I would highly recommend!”
“Sharron is SO great with our dog Rhubarb! She visits Barb right on time, spends quality time with her, and always sends the sweetest updates and photos that put our minds at ease and show she really cares about Barb! We’re so grateful to have Sharron in Barb’s life and we appreciate her so much!”
“Steffie was everything I was looking for in a sitter and more! She is so accommodating, kind and thoughtful. My cat has never let anyone near her other than me, but by day 2 of Steffie’s visit, she was walking right up to Steffie asking for pets! I am still in awe! I will definitely be rebooking and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone else in need of a sitter/best pet friend :)”
“I have a large lab mix who’s been struggling with some extreme separation anxiety because we just moved here from out of state. I needed someone to stay with her while I’m at work and Siri was so gracious and understanding of our situation and took great care of her! Great communication and flexibility. I felt very relieved knowing my girl was in good hands.”
“We have sweet dogs, but they are seniors and need a little extra care. Lissa goes above and beyond when taking care of their needs. She sends great updates and from the pictures she sends I can tell the dogs are comfortable with her. And as an added bonus, she takes great care of our home too! We all love Lissa!”
“Marcy was fantastic with our pups while we were away! She went above and beyond to take care of them!”
“Percy was our first Rover pet sitter. They were great. We had daily updates on our cats, with photos and our birdbaths and feeders were filled regularly. We felt completely at ease knowing that our cats were being well cared for while we were out of the country for 10 days. We can't recommend highly enough.”
About: I have experience caring for pets in multi-pet households, pets of different sizes and temperaments as well as some with special needs. I also have experience with medication administration. I am a part time Etsy Seller so have a very flexible schedule to fit in walks and drop-ins at any point during the day! When caring for pets in your home I am focused on making sure your pet is safe. This includes crating if requested, removing hazards, etc…
“Ruoyang was very sweet and responsive while she took care of our dog! Thanks so much”
About: I have 3 dogs. 2 of them are 4 years old but still have the energy of a puppy. I trained them how to sit, stay, place, and more! I take them on walks and taught them leash etiquette. I taught them how to behave in off-leash dog park. I also have a dog who is 15 years old. She requires insulin injections 2x daily, which I administer to her. I give her her oral medications and keep track of her glucose levels to ensure she gets the right amount of insulin. She is trained and is great with dogs, kids, and people. I am capable of leash training, potty training, and teaching tricks (sit, stay, lay down, etc.) I can provide daily exercise and suit a dog’s needs for both physical and mental stimulation. I also love all breeds of dog and sizes and am so excited to meet your dog and provide any necessary services. I take care of dogs every day. I ensure all their needs are met (ex. potty breaks, walks, mental stimulation, food/water, and more). I am organized and able to keep track of certain dogs’ needs, like medications or dietary restrictions. I am able to give insulin injections and administer oral medications. As for personal experience, I trained my dogs, keep track of their monthly tick and flea medication and their Heartguard medicine. I walk my dogs and taught them leash etiquette( no pulling or tension on the leash). Additionally, I am able to assess a dog's behaviors and body language and meet their needs based on observations. Additionally, I am available this summer on the weekends and weekdays. I am able to times ranging from 9 AM to around 6 PM. I am more than happy to modify my schedule or times if need be too. I supervise my dogs at all times to ensure they’re safe and happy. I keep track of time so they go outside to have opportunities to go potty. I ensure their water is always clean and full. For my diabetic dog, I keep track of how much she eats during her meals and snacks throughout the day so I know what her glucose levels are when dinner time comes. I am able to take care of dogs in any environment (outside or inside). When I go to another dog owner's house, I ensure I keep the space clean and will clean messes created by the dogs.

Gina M.
“Gina is the best ! My absolute favorite pet sitter. We used her services when she lived close by multiple times. And even while we took a 10 day trip to Hawaiii. I felt so safe knowing someone so kind was taking care of our babies. She was so thoughtful to send us pics of our fur babies while we were so far away. It really made me feel so much better about leaving them. She played with everyone and really kept the food stations clean ! Honestly she went so above and beyond, even emoted the litter genie. With 4 cats it is not easy to keep up with and keep their space clean ! I’m crushed she isn’t close by anymore and if you get to use her services , know how lucky you are !”

West Saint Paul dog parents share their Rover experiences
Abbie did great with our dogs. One is particularly shy dog but at the end of the stay, this dog was eating our of her hands!
Similar to the first time, we were incredibly happy and comfortable leaving our dogs (and cat) in Jessica's care. Highly recommend!!!
Holly loves having you stop by for check-ins! Thank you for taking such good care of her and giving her lots of love when we are out!
Liz is so reliable and accommodating. I wish we traveled more often so my dogs could spend more time with time with her. They are always well cared for and happy when we come home
Summer dog sat our two dogs for 5 days. One of our dogs is difficult – she is a highly protective Chihauhau/Corgi rescue prone to lunging, nipping, and sometimes biting. Summer managed this dog extremely well, so well that there were no incidents while under her care. Summer is thoughtful, planful, and did a wonderful job with our dogs. I highly recommend her.
Bieber always appreciates his time with Katie getting walks, attention, and snuggles. We appreciate her kindness and professionalism. 🖤🤎🐾
Penny is great. She’s very punctual, Norbu loved going for walks with her and she even played with him a little before the walk. Would definitely recommend Penny.
Emma took great care of our dog and two kitties while we were gone for 4 days. She was very communicative and asked thoughtful questions, so it was obvious she truly cared about them. I would definitely book her again!
Brenna is awesome. Our dog, who is very...picky...about people absolutely loves Brenna and always has a good time in her care. Brenna is very communicative and extremely caring about our dog. She is the best.
Annie helped us out on short notice when we needed our dog walked during the day. She had recently done some housesitting for us so it was like having an old friend drop by to help out. She took care of everything seamlessly and let me focus on the medical issue at hand. Most importantly our dog adores Annie and he can’t wait to play soccer with her again.
Julia was so sweet with Kulfi and was a lifesaver being able to drop in and watch him last minute. I would definitely recommend her!
Sarah was great! We have a very weird boy who is scared of new people, and Sarah came over a few times before watching him so he could adjust. She was patient and attentive to his signals and routines. Thank you!!!
