Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in West Side, Saint Paul, MN

“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.”

About: I have been part of a dog family since I was 9 years old. Several friends and neighbors have used me as a repeat sitter - I even took care of little doggies in diapers :) now I have several years of pet care experience through Rover. I also have my own dog, a teenage Aussie named Witten, who I’ve cared for the last couple years but who is currently being fostered with a friend who’s home is more suitable for him during my transition to the cities. When I care for your dog, I am communicative and will make sure you receive regular updates (unless you want me to leave you alone!) I’m not afraid to ask a question to make sure I’m always doing the best for your pet. I will go above and beyond, cleaning up trash, vomit, accidents, as needed. I want to work with you to give you the most peace of mind possible that your pet is in good hands. I’m recently moved to the cities and in the job search now, so I’ve got lots of flexibility to care for your pup on their schedule, and/or to stay with them for a meaningful amount of time during the day. My priority is making sure your pet remains feeling safe and cared for while you’re gone. I stay in tune with your dog’s needs so if they need to be calmed, or played with, or cuddled, I’m there for them. My approach is to help them feel loved while also making sure they know I am in charge so they can be safe with me.

“Elizabeth was very communicative during her check-ins, and the cats took to her very well! Even my shy kitty who usually hides, came out to say hello! Thank you, Elizabeth!”

“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!”

“Angela was great! She is very experienced and very comfortable with any and all instructions I gave! She took great care of my cats, and I never worried about them while I was gone!”

“My first time using Rover. Kayleah was really great! The pictures she sent put me at ease, when I got home I saw that she had cleaned the floors! I was so surprised, what a treat! I am so glad this service is available!”

“Sarah was able to look in on my two cats on super short notice, giving them food and attention. One of them also needed medicine twice a day, which was no problem for her. She was a life saver!”

Hallie O.

“Sarah was great! I was a first-time Rover customer as my senior grampa cat needed to have daily medicine during our summer vacation, and Sarah was able to drop in and get him what he needed. She was very communicative and easygoing, but most importantly, she made sure my fur friends were alive and well!”

“Penny has been great. Norbu seems to really like her, she was very punctual and appeared to enjoy what she is doing. I would definitely use Penny again.”

About: I grew up around 4 dogs (golden retrievers and a French bulldog) and a cat, and helped to feed, walk, brush, & generally care for them from a young age. This includes helping to care for 11 puppies when I was 10! My dogs were some of my best friends, and I have a good understanding of how to communicate with and train them. All in all I have a massive respect and love for animals of all sorts and I always treat them with kindness. I'm also comfortable with elderly dogs-- currently my family owns an elderly, special needs Frenchie. I currently work full time as a planner for the Minnesota government. Accordingly, I am available between 6 - 7:30 am and after 6 pm Monday --> Friday, with more availability for lunchtime drop-ins on Mondays and Fridays. My availability most weekends is very flexible. I prefer to operate on a drop in basis. I am a responsible adult who enjoys a quieter lifestyle-- I prefer to spend my evenings and weekends working out (hiking, biking, swimming), going to bed early, and cooking good food. My friends, colleagues, and relatives have trusted me to care for their pets in the past.

“Kelsey was absolutely great! She sent me updates several times over the drop in visits, and sent me videos, and pictures. She did wonderful with my June Bug. Look forward to having her continue drop ins in the future!”

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.

“Jill continues to provide above and beyond services with our fur babies. She shares a ton of photos during her visits and it’s apparent that our animals love her.”

“Paige was wonderful with our kitties. They were happy when we returned, so we could tell they'd gotten lots of snuggles. And she pilled our senior cat twice a day, which isn't the easiest task. We'll definitely reach out to her again!”

G E.

“She played with the cats daily. Great job, great communication.”

About: Hello! My name is Rae! I’m originally from Florida, but I enjoy Minnesota’s seasons much more. Most of my experience is from volunteering for independent rescues. I have also volunteered at a veterinary clinic. As a kid, I would often pet-sit my neighbors' furry friends, both cats and dogs. My most popular clients were two Italian Greyhounds. I have grown up with pets most of my life and currently have two pets of my own. I currently own a special needs senior cat, which has made me experienced with giving medication and even administering IV fluids. Thanks for considering me for your pet's care! I currently work from home and spend time with my senior special needs cat, Sierra. I love animals, and it's exciting to make new furry friends! Currently, my schedule is open and flexible. If my details don't match exactly what you are looking fo,r please feel free to message me. I am happy to try to make something work. Since I rent an apartment, I will only care for your pet at your home. I need to be made aware if I'm being videotaped. Typically, the owner informs me of the feeding/bathroom schedule for their pets. I like to know the personality of the pets, so I set up meet and greets when possible. I like to know what the pet likes and dislikes, and how you, the owner, would like to be updated while you are away. I work best with clear written expectations. I have a smartphone so I can send video/photo updates!

“I booked Danielle for a daily check-in with my two cats while I was on a trip. She sent pics of them every day and obviously they love her very much! I would definitely rebook with Danielle in the future!”
