About: I live with my 12 year old Australian Shepherd named Bailey, a 5 year old orange Tabby named Pickle, and a 3 year old tuxedo cat named Fern. I love animals of all kinds and would like to use my love of animals to earn extra income. I will provide treats, attention, and positively reinforced gentle training. I'm responsible with animals and enjoy teaching tricks, manners, verbal and non verbal cues. I've never met a pet that I couldn't love! It makes me sad that our sweet pets are home alone missing us while we are at work, so hire me! I've been called a 'dog freak' more than once. Please let me work with you and your pets. I'll be waiting!

About: 🐾 Pet Care Experience I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, and I truly love what I do! I’m experienced with all aspects of everyday pet care, including feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Recently, I had the opportunity to house and care for two golden doodles for two full weeks, where I was completely responsible for their daily needs and routine. This experience strengthened my ability to provide consistent, dependable care while giving pets the attention and companionship they deserve. I’m also a proud cat owner myself and absolutely adore my kitty! 🐱❤️ Because of that, I have a huge soft spot for cats and genuinely enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and needs. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, daily visits, overnight care, or plenty of love and attention while you’re away, I’m committed to treating every animal like they’re my own. 🐾 My schedule can vary a little from week to week because I work as a soccer coach and travel around the Southwest Metro for practices and classes. That said, I currently have a pretty consistent weekly schedule and am happy to share my specific availability for any day you’re looking for! I’m also very flexible and love working with families to find a schedule that fits their needs. Whether you need a quick drop-in, a walk, or someone to spend more time with your pets, I’m happy to work around my schedule whenever I can. I’m always open to communicating and figuring out what works best for you and your furry friends! 🐾💕 I’m happy to care for pets in their own home and always do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while their owners are away! I especially enjoy in-home pet sitting because pets tend to feel most comfortable in their own familiar environment, and I’m more than happy to spend time with them, provide walks, playtime, meals, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box care, and lots of love and attention. I also understand that caring for someone’s home comes with responsibility, so I treat every home with the same respect and care I would want for my own. While I’m open to different arrangements, I currently prefer caring for pets in their home rather than hosting them at mine, as I live with other people and have limited space. I’m very flexible, though, and would love to work with you to find whatever arrangement works best for you and your pets! 🐾💕

“Gabby watched Winston (in-house) while my family was away for spring break. Winston is a high drive vizsla and can be quite a shock to people that aren't use to their relentlessness and lack of recognition of personal space. After meeting Gabby we knew Winston would be in good hands though. Gabby sent us updates (including pictures) and was quick to respond when we check-in. If you need someone to watch your pup, we definitely recommend Gabby!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and horses and absolutely enjoy making sure they feel safe and loved. Pets bring so much joy and comfort. I hope to do the same for the pets I am watching. I'm currently working part-time, so I am available for more time. My son is off to the Marines, so I can stay at the client's house. This love for pet sitting began when my friends asked me to take care of their animals while they were on. vacation I prefer the pets at the client's house, where they feel more comfortable. Building trust with pets is key; they feel safe and secure while parents are gone. I will communicate with you as well as you see fit when you are gone to ensure you are happy and safe.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was a teenager. Growing up, I was always jumping in to watch our neighbor’s dogs when they would leave for trips or weekend getaways (a Golden Retriever & Chocolate Lab). In my family, I grew up with a Cavalier Cocker Spaniel, as well as 4 cats in our home. More recently, I lived with my sister for 2 years who owned 2 Great Pyrenees. I’ve had experience helping to take care of dogs of all sizes, and from different families & homes, as well as cats. I truly love animals and would love to help take care of yours. I currently work in a hybrid office, with 3 days in office/2 days at home. My hours are fairly flexible, so am able to spend time in the mornings with your pet, and can come home by 3pm to wrap up the rest of my day. For dogs, I’m able to take them for morning and/or evening walks to get plenty of exercise throughout the day. I live in an apartment and keep this space very well cleaned and managed. I have a large, fenced in porch and at my apartment, there is plenty of green space around the area, as well as a little dog park at my apartment, and in my neighborhood. I live near very active lakes, so am walking distance to plenty of paths for needed exercise for your animals. Additionally, I worked as a cleaner for VRBOs all throughout my college years, so if I’m caring for a pet in a client’s space, I’m very intentional about making sure your home is care for just as much.

About: the personalized, one-on-one attention I provide. I care for one household at a time, allowing me to focus on your dog’s individual needs, routines, and comfort. I prioritize keeping your dog’s schedule as consistent as possible while you’re away, with regular updates, photos, and extra love to help you feel at ease knowing your pup is in caring hands. I offer personalized care that goes beyond the basics, including overnight stays, walks, drop-in visits, feeding, potty breaks, medication, playtime, and help maintaining your dog’s normal routine. I can also incorporate the little things that make your dog’s stay special, like car rides, outdoor adventures, and extra one-on-one time. I work with each owner to create care that fits their dog’s needs instead of offering a one-size-fits-all service. Pet care is something I prioritize in my daily routine, and I plan my schedule around providing attentive, personalized care for each dog I look after. I make sure every pup receives consistent attention, exercise, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I limit my care to one household at a time so I can focus on each dog’s individual needs and provide a safe, comfortable, and loving experience while their owners are away. I’m a nursing student and have been a CNA since 2021. Caring for others has always been a big part of my life, and I bring that same patience, responsibility, and attention to detail to caring for pets. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I provide personalized care in my client’s home to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any additional care their pet needs. I also provide companionship, plenty of affection, and regular updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while they’re away. I prioritize safety, consistency, and each pet’s individual needs, caring for one household at a time to ensure every dog receives my full attention.

I don’t know if I can say enough positive things about Ava! She gave me so many updates and pictures of our dogs and cats and even went out of her way to shovel our driveway and clean up things inside the house! She noticed our one dog had an itchy rash on his ear and cleaned it for us and gave updates on how it was the next day. I will 1000% be reaching out to Ava again if I need help with our pups!

FAQs for House Sitting - Belle Plaine

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 899 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Belle Plaine. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
