“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!”
“You did an amazing job! We loved your updates and felt very secure knowing you were around to take care of Poppy. We thought it was really cute how you’d shape her food for her. Thank you so much!”
“Heidi is great! She was punctual and kept great communication. She went above and beyond to make sure our nervous pup was well cared for while we were gone. We are so lucky to have found her!”
“Jill is so sweet and took great care of our kitties while we were out of town over the holidays! She was amazing about communication and we will absolutely use her again!”
“Hannah was so great with our cats (one very timid, one very playful) and even helped put a cone on one of the cats which was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend!”
“Katie was great, she came through on a somewhat last minute request when my prior sitter was no longer available, and made it work! I came home to a pretty mellow kitty and had the ease of knowing she was getting some love while I was away. No complaints!!”
“Jenna was awesome! Really helped me out with a short notice need. Dropped in to visit with my silly border collie. Followed instructions and communicated perfectly and sent great pictures!”
“Brenna as always is the perfect cat sitter! She spends a lot of time playing with our 2 cats on her visits and they know her well and are always excited to see her. She asks all the right questions and sends me lots of pics and videos not only of the cats but also of when she feeds them, etc.”
“Andrea is great! We were gone overnight and she made sure to accommodate our dogs' schedules, as well as tailoring the visit to fit their needs. We received visit updates complete with walk routes--I would highly recommend her!”
“Sarah came through for us again by doing a 1 hour drop in visit to feed, play with the dogs and let them relieve themselves in the yard. We are so lucky to have her on our team! Also her pictures are always better than the ones I take myself. Thank you!”
“Jessica took great care of my pup, making sure she got enough play while I was away with friends so that she was ready to relax by the time I got home. Thanks, Jess!”
“This was our first experience using Rover. Thank you for making it so easy. Macy S was the best! She was so polite and conscientious. She sent the cutest pictures of our cats warming up to her and it made us feel relieved they were safe so we could enjoy our time away from them. Overall very positive experience. Would use Rover again.”
“Amy has been so helpful for us! She’s looked after our Dog, Rabbit, and Guinea pig when we’ve been away. She’s always on time and follows our instructions perfectly! Very glad to have found her on Rover!”
“Heather is an amazing petsitter! Our dog immediately decided Heather is her new BFF and loved her instantly! Heather came to our house to hang out with Holly and sent us pictures and updates. Heather was easy to talk to and really cares about animals. If you need someone to care for your pet, Heather is your person!”

Shayla did an excellent job taking care of our 3 cats! They are all senior cats with three different foods for each of their special needs and medications for one of them. Fresh water was in their bowls, litter boxes were cleaned, mail brought in & plants watered. We will definately request Shayla again for our next time away!
Sara took wonderful care of our cat who can be quite shy. We came home to a happy kitty. Communication was great with daily photos, some even included the elusive cat. Sara even took care of putting peanuts out for the blue jays in our feeder. Highly recommend Sara and would gladly rebook.
Amanda took such great care of our cats while we were away! I got great photos during each visit and everything was so well taken care of while we were gone! One of our cats is very nervous and has never really come out for other sitters, but came out for Amanda each time which I think really speaks to how comfortable she made our cats feel during each visit! Couldn't be more appreciative and more happy with the care Amanda provided to our kitties! 😸
Jennifer B. Was absolutely amazing over the weekend! She did drop-in visits for our 4 dogs Finn, Izzi, Coco and Lulu and kept me completely updated with frequent photos and messages. She even went above and beyond by cleaning up unexpected messes without any complaints. Managing a pack of four requires a lot of skill, and she handles it flawlessly. Truly professional, highly communicative, and fantastic with our pups. I will definitely be booking her again. Mary M
Erica was great. We did a meet and greet before hand and my very nervous dogs warmed up to her immediately. She sent frequent updates and pictures! In one picture my dog was licking her face so I know that loved her!! We will be using her again in the future :)
Julie was fantastic! She clearly understands cat body language and genuinely enjoys spending time with cats, which was very important to us. Our cat, Pepper, is extremely social, and it was obvious Julie enjoyed visiting and playing with her. She also took so many adorable, high-quality photos during each visit, which gave us peace of mind and made being away from Pepper much easier. Julie followed all of our care instructions carefully, including Pepper's feeding routine, and kept the litter boxes clean throughout our trip. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. We're extremely satisfied with Julie's care and wouldn't hesitate to book her again. She's someone you can absolutely trust to take excellent care of your cat.
I am undoubtedly an anxious mess when I leave my cats. Jill was so thorough, kind, and understanding! She did an excellent job of following my instructions to the T and provided lengthy comprehensive updates that eased my anxiety. I know my babies were in good hands! I would gladly book Jill again!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a West Saint Paul stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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 West Saint Paul. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 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.
