“Rover made this transaction incredibly smooth. Chrissy is exactly the kind of person you want watching your dogs. She texted us photos twice a day and let us know what was going on. We came home to happy dogs and a clean home. Thank you. *****”
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have had many pets over the years, including dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, degus, sugar gliders, hamsters, gerbils, mice, parrots, fish and many reptiles. Please don’t hesitate to message me about caring for any pocket pets/exotics! I started working at doggy daycares/boarding facilities when I was a teenager. I now work in veterinary medicine, currently at an emergency clinic, and pet sit on the side! I’m new to Rover but not new to pet sitting and am happy to provide additional references if desired. I had an injury recently and am on medical leave, so I’m currently available just about anytime for your pet’s needs! I’m available to stop by your house several times a day to feed, walk, and play with your pets as needed. I can also stay at your house full time. I’m happy to drive your pets to any grooming/veterinary appointments as well. For pocket pets/exotics, I can either do drop in visits, house sitting, or board them at my house if preferred (they will be kept away from my dogs, cats and other pets at all times) - if boarding, you can provide a cage/enclosure, or I have several spare ones of various sizes/styles I can set up if you let me know ahead of time. I work as an overnight tech at an emergency vet clinic and have access to veterinary care 24/7 should it ever be needed.

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and currently have two dogs and three cats of my own. One of my dogs is deaf, which has taught me how to adapt care to meet a pet's individual needs. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Over the years, I have cared for dogs and cats for family members and friends, including feeding, walking, playtime, basic care, and providing companionship while owners are away. I am a very active individual, so if your dog needs that extra exercise, I'm your girl! I truly just love animals and can handle any amount of slobber and attention. I am very easy-going and will work with you and your animal however you need! Pet care fits easily into my schedule. I am flexible and available most days, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Whether your pet requires a structured routine or extra playtime and affection, I am happy to work with their individual needs. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special needs before providing care. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise requirements, and any house rules you have for your pet. In your home, I will maintain your pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I can provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind while you're away!
About: I live on a farm back home & have over a decade of animal care of all kinds! I have many farm cats and two dogs at home, as well as two cats that live with me! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes & would love to spend time with your best friend! I would especially love to hang out with dogs as I don’t want to get my own until I can give them a fenced in yard:) My boyfriend Gabe also helps out with the pet care! I am pretty free all summer & I can give as much or as little attention as your pet requires! I’m available to do random walks throughout the day or stay full time at your residence to give 24/7 care to your pet. I would like to follow your routine as much as possible, so honestly whatever you do with your pet I will copy! It’s important to keep their routines from changing frequently!
“Isabelle and her boyfriend took great care of our puppy. They followed our house rules and went the extra mile to give our high energy puppy plenty of activity while they were house sitting. I would definitely work with them again!”
“Tee-Tee went above and beyond. Truly. She took EXTRA steps to ensure my dogs were comfortable with her. More than I would have ever expected. And she’s so good with them! I swear they wanted to see her instead of me when I came home. 😂 In addition, she took excellent care of my home. I know that, when I need to be away again, I will have complete peace of mind with Tee-Tee in charge.”
About: I have taken care of my over 13 pets through the years, as an only child my cats and dogs have been very close to my heart and truly apart of my family. I hope to be able to meet not only your pets needs But yours as well! I have school and a part time job but I have flexible schedules with class not being long than 3 hours at a time and breaks in between. My work schedule is only in the afternoon to evening and is extremely flexible! I always make sure to ask questions to understand your pets needs and make sure I have plenty of time for them! I usually try to follow any instructions given and get in contact with any questions!

About: I have grown up taking care of dogs. I had a golden labradoodle growing up. I love all dogs and caring for them as well. I graduated last school year and have a lot of free time. I am able to work weekends and weekdays. Message me with any questions. I take the animals out as often as needed. I stay on the pets schedule. I have three little cats myself and stay on their schedule.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire adult life and have been caring for dogs for over 20 years. I currently have a 9-year-old Boston Terrier who is truly the love of my life, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. I’m attentive, patient, and very tuned in to dogs’ individual needs and personalities. I love giving dogs plenty of time outside with walks, hikes, and safe play, along with calm companionship and structure. I’m experienced with basic obedience and fun training, including sit, stay, shake, lie down, roll over, heel, and more. I’m comfortable reinforcing routines, providing mental stimulation, and making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog is high-energy or more laid-back, I meet them where they are and treat them like they’re my own. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize dog care throughout the day. As a photographer, I can plan my shoots around walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I don’t have many long, all-day commitments this year. This means I’m available for consistent walks, extended visits, and quality one-on-one time. I love being active and would genuinely enjoy filling my schedule with caring for dogs and keeping them happy, exercised, and well attended to. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication. I follow all instructions carefully, respect your home, and make sure your dog feels comfortable and secure at all times. I’m attentive on walks, mindful of surroundings, and experienced with leash handling and basic training cues. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and notes so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.
“Jada did a wonderful job watching my three pups for a week while I was out of town! The communication was on point and the photo updates of my babies were greatly appreciated. My favorite part was that she wasn’t afraid to ask questions instead of assuming things. Would definitely recommend Jada to anyone looking for a sitter that fills all the boxes!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Belle Plaine
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 128 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Belle Plaine. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Belle Plaine walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Belle Plaine maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Belle Plaine choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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.
