“We have already had Tricia back to care for our cats! I forgot to mention in my previous review, she has a green thumb, our outdoor plants were healthy and happy upon our return. She also made sure that the cats had fresh water, in multiple locations! She is the BEST!”
“Elizabeth is great! She’s so friendly and was excellent with our 5 month old puppy. She’s prompt, respectful, and very dedicated to what she does. Highly recommend her for your next Rover.”
“Very much appreciate the effort, patience to help us through a very difficult time at the last minute no less. Flexibility has been amazing. Care for the dogs has been very nice!!!”
“Rola did a fantastic job with our two dogs during her drop-in visit. She was on time, friendly, and made sure both pups were cared for and happy. I I appreciated her attention to detail and the updates she provided. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful pet care!”
“Alicja was great and was able to come over after a very last minute request! Took great care of my kitties, gave my diabetic cat insulin and even took out the garbage on the way out! Would definitely rebook and recommend to others! :)”
“Paige did a great job with our two cats, stopped in daily at the same time and played with and fed them, cleaned the litter box and sent us daily updates and photos, and all went well! And the best thing was, unlike other times when we've been gone, the cats had no behavioral issues, didn't chew anything up or leave poop surprise anywhere to show their defiance-- everything was normal when we got home and they seem perfectly content :)”
About: I am a foster Mom for rescue dogs. I've also successfully trained a service dog for Helping Paws. Dog sitting is a way for me to socialize pets while helping out fellow dog lovers. I offer pick up and delivery service as well as airport runs for clients as a convenience for folks who live nearby. My home is conveniently located off of 394 and 494. The fenced in back yard is escape proof (rescue dog tested) and I have gates in the house to keep dogs from escaping through open doors. Safety is a priority. I retired from corporate life a few years ago and found my new passion is caring for pets. My husband is also a big help! PS. No Pit Bull's or Chihuahua's please I'm typically gone from 1-2 hours each day and home the rest of the time. Pet care brings pure joy and happiness into my day! My husband is frequently home when I am out and about. I have a fenced yard and doggy door that most dogs learn how to use very quickly. Making sure dogs are compatible with each other is a priority. Slow introductions are managed by having dogs meet in a neutral space and then we go for a walk so the dogs get used to each other before entering the house for more socializing.
“Kristen is INCREDIBLE with both our cat and dog! It’s rare to find a sitter that works so well with both so we always feel so lucky when we’re able to book Kristen as our sitter.”
About: Even though my dog is the first dog I raised, my uncle has had dogs since I could remember. I would play with his dogs all the time. I have also looked after an 8 week old puppy for a few days and then traveled with the puppy from MN to OH. I am currently in graduate school and would be offering services on my breaks. So I will be available for your pet at any point of the day. I take my own dog on walks and/or to the dog park on a daily. There is a big lake near me where my dog (and my neighbors’ dogs) love to walk by. I also have a big yard that my dog loves to sniff and run around in. My dog is very dog friendly and able to play with dogs of all sizes and loves to play with them. I have a very big fenced yard and a very friendly lab, who would keep your fur baby company. I can also crate if needed.
About: I love creatures of all kinds-whether they're stinky, silly, or sneaky, I think animals are wonderful and deserve the best life we can offer them. It's a joy for me to help your pets feel cared for. I'm currently working part-time, Mon/Wed/Fri. If you have any specific needs, I'm happy to talk more about how to provide your beloved pet with the best possible care while you're away. I'm happy to keep your creature company and see to their needs. I am a very timely, tidy and diligent person, and try to leave a place just as good as I found it (or better!).
About: I’ve been caring for pets since my early 20s! From walks and playtime to overnight stays, I provide dependable, loving care like they’re my own. 🐾💕 I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to stop by for walks, playtime, and extra snuggles! My availability may shift in the spring and summer as my work schedule gets busier, but I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs! 🐾💕 I have an 6 year old chocolate Lab who loves meeting new friends and welcoming other pets. While I don’t currently have a fenced-in yard, I make sure pets staying with me receive plenty of supervised walks, outdoor time, and engaging activities with my family. Their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. 🐾💕
About: Hello👋🏽I’m a passionate dog lover and pet stylist at a doggie daycare, with 6+ years of experience leading playgroups and 3 years as a professional groomer. I’ve developed a deep understanding of dog behavior, body language, and individual needs.🐾 I currently have the sweetest babies, a 12 year old lab and 2 laid back cats. I grew up caring for our rescued beagles from an animal testing facility, which taught me how to support sensitive or nervous pups with patience and compassion. Through daycare and grooming, I’ve worked hands-on with all kinds of breeds, coat types, and personalities. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and help them feel safe, happy, and loved! I also offer nail trims if your pup is comfortable with it.✂️ I also enjoy cleaning in my spare time, so I’d be happy to offer light housekeeping or general tidying if that’s something you’d find helpful.🫧 Pet care fits into my routine really naturally. I work as a groomer and often have shorter days starting at 8am, usually finishing around 2 or 3 PM, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet sitting in the evenings. I’m also available most weekends for drop-ins and walks. I typically pet sit in the owner’s home, where pets feel most comfortable and secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely—every pet is different, and I do my best to stick to their usual routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, play, medications, or just extra snuggles. I’m respectful of your home and treat it with care, just like I do with your pets!
About: We have had dogs our entire lives. We have been fostering for Underdog Rescue for the past nine years and have experience with both little puppies and senior dogs. We have a house in the Minnetonka/Hopkins area and have a large fenced in backyard that your dog would enjoy! We always hate being away from our dogs, so we know how important their care is while you're away! I currently work from home, so I’ll be able to give your pups plenty of attention throughout the day with plenty of potty breaks and playtime in the backyard yard. We have a large, fenced-in backyard and currently have three small dogs, two senior Shih Tzus and a 1 year old Pekingese. We also foster dogs through Underdog Rescue, and two of our dogs are foster fails! 🐶
About: I have been caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and small rodents of my own and others for most of my life! I’m currently mom to a Great Dane rescue named Paloma and a rabbit rescue named Pluto. My partner and I have done extensive training (Hamilton Dog Training) with Paloma over the last two years to remove all dog reactivity and allow her to be off-leash trained. I also have experience with elderly animals receiving hospice care as they head over the rainbow bridge. I currently work as a part time structural engineer technician from home so I have lots of flexibility in my schedule to look after your little buds. My partner, Grant, is a structural engineer who also works from home. We both grew up surrounded by animals and wouldn’t have it any other way! I strongly believe that a tired dog is a happy dog! Long walks are a must for our pups to receive the attention and exercise they need and I truly believe nature is as healing to our furry family as it is to us.
About: I have worked in numerous dog kennels over the years. I've trained and cared for my own dog since he was a puppy. I care for all pets and I am a very calm presence. I graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with my degree in Animal Science. I currently reside in Minnetonka, MN. I offer dog walking (and running if needed), drop-ins, and house stays! I have a full-time job. I am available weekends and most days of the week at any time that works for you. My calendar will be updated regularly according to my work schedule. Reach out if you need my services! I like to keeps dogs active and stimulated while they play. I also have trained my own dog. I like to keep training in mind when walking or playing with a dog so they understand what is acceptable behavior.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodland
Teresa was an excellent pet sitter for our two dogs. She is warm and responsive. She communicated regularly with photos and texts, followed all directions and anticipated the dogs needs during storms and fireworks. So glad we had her stay and do stop in visits instead of using the kennel. Our house was left as we left it and she watered my plants.

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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
