“Emily spent two weeks at our house with our three dogs and loved them like they were her own. We requested daily photo updates and she obliged with more than 150 pics during our time abroad. She had to help us process the unexpected loss of one of our pups during this time and was an absolute godsend to us. We would recommend her 1000 times over.”
“Katherine was an incredible sitter! She went above and beyond sending us updates and pictures of our pups while we were away. The house was in perfect condition when we got home after 9 days, and she even shoveled a big area for the dogs in the backyard after much snow fell! We will absolutely use her again in the future!”
“Dogs were happy and content upon my return! Job well done! Very personable young lady who knows the job well. I have confidence that she can handle whatever difficult situation might come up with the pets!”
“Evelyn did a great job taking care of our furry child. We appreciate the somewhat short-notice booking and everything went really smoothly. I would highly recommend booking Evelyn if you're in need of pet care!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our 8-month-old puppy received! From the very beginning, Carolina was professional, kind, and incredibly attentive to our pup’s needs. They took the time to learn about our puppy’s routine, preferences, and quirks, making sure she felt comfortable and well cared for while we were away. Communication was outstanding—we received regular updates, photos, and even little videos about our pup’s day, which gave us such peace of mind. Carolina was engaging with her, providing plenty of playtime, cuddles, and structured care. We came home to a happy, well-exercised, and relaxed puppy, which speaks volumes about the level of care she received. We would absolutely trust Carolina again and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a responsible and loving dog sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Always timely and informative during visits. Very easy to talk to, easy to trust. I can count on Tanya to show up and make sure my pup is safe and well cared for. She’s extremely respectful of the space and you can tell she really does enjoy being with the pup. My go to for a sitter!”
“Taylor did a fabulous job when we left Lincoln with her for the weekend. She was very attentive to follow his schedule and routine but more importantly she gave him lots of love and cuddles! We really appreciated the great job she did as it had been several years since we had left him with anyone except family. We were a little nervous to leave him with a stranger but Taylor did a great job with him. We also appreciated the texts and pics so we could see how he was doing! We would have Taylor come again to watch Lincoln; in fact we have already booked our next two vacations with her!!”
“The pups came home happily tuckered. Samantha went above and beyond to help make our weekend away so much smoother. I know that the doggos we were well taken care of while we were gone. 😊”
“Bekah was amazing! She was so caring and lovely to our 16 year old Yorkie💙 & 2 year old Aussiedoodle💜She checked in daily with cute pictures too. She was very attentive and caring for our elderly dog which put me at ease. She tidied up our house and watered our flowers too. I would highly recommend Bekah to care for your fur babies!”
About: I have experience working with all kinds of animals! I have a tortoise, four ducks, and three dogs at home. I’ve had many other animals in the past! I’m currently working part-time split shifts at an elementary school. I recently got a second job at a daycare in Blaine. Before you book with me, know that I won’t be able to stop by mid day during the weekdays! My work hours are 7am-6pm Monday-Friday. Weekends I am available all day! I’m able to provide whatever you will need for me to best take care of your pets! Let me know if there are special accommodations your pet needs!
“I highly recommend Olivia as a sitter. She was great with my dog Ash. She communicates often and is quick to reply to messages and is very professional. She sent photos and multiple daily updates. Thanks for taking care of my dog!”
About: I have experience grooming, clipping nails, cleaning litter boxes, filling food and water dishes, playing, taking them on walks (on and off a leash), giving meds, and administering IV fluids. When I house sit, I stay overnight from 10 PM to 6 AM and follow the care instructions in your pet’s profile during the day. For example, if your dog can be left alone for 4–8 hours, I’ll come back within that timeframe and stay for 2–3 hours each visit. If your pet requires constant care and cannot be left alone for more than 4 hours, a constant-care fee equal to one additional night’s stay per day will apply. I am a part time student I attend all of my classes online. I volunteer Friday afternoons at CSHS, and Sunday evenings I spend doing homework. Other than that my schedule is pretty open and I can be flexible. I will try to keep their routine as close to normal as possible and will follow any schedule or fulfill any requests you have for your pet.
About: Hi, I’m Amelia — lifelong animal lover, professional cuddler, enthusiastic dog-walker, and firm believer that every pet deserves to be treated like the VIP they are. 🐾 Whether your pup wants to run around the park until their tongue is on the ground, your kitty prefers a quiet afternoon of cuddles, or your pet’s idea of fun is simply having someone around to keep them company, I’m here for it! I love animals of all shapes, sizes, personalities, and levels of chaos. I’ll happily match their energy — from adventure buddy to couch companion — and make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and treats (where permitted, of course!). Your pets are family, and I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I'm always outdoors and I love exploring new parks. I have a flexible work schedule and I'm always up early. Whether it's early morning walks, lunch time to run around the park, or an evening stroll to get some of that energy out, I get joy out of being outside and being active, and I will bring your pet with me and we'll have a blast. First and foremost, I respect your rules in terms of indoor, outdoor or outside time. I always clean up after your pets, whether it's outside or in the litter box. I make sure their water is always fresh and any stray food is cleaned up. I love to brush and snuggle, making sure your pet is getting the attention they need, especially when they're human is away.
“Our first time leaving a pet with a sitter outside of our immediate family and Elizabeth did such an amazing job. She came and met Mia in advance to ensure Mia was comfortable and sent great photos and updates throughout our trip. Mia seemed so much happier and more comfortable at home and Elizabeth gave us peace of mind that she was well taken care of!”
About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I care for every dog as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable and at home. I have experience with a large, active German Shepherd and am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. While I do have a resident dog, every pet's comfort and safety comes first. My home allows dogs to be separated when needed, and I'm happy to provide individual walks, feeding routines, and personalized attention so every dog has a positive experience. What sets me apart is my communication and attention to detail. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet's stay, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and dependable home where your pet is treated like family. I have a hybrid work schedule, which means I work from home several days each week and have flexibility to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care and prioritize keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. Whether it's morning walks, playtime, feeding, or evening cuddles, my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience so your pet feels right at home. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get their energy out. I also have a friendly resident German Shepherd who enjoys other dogs, so guest dogs should be comfortable around larger breeds. That said, your pet's safety and comfort always come first. My home is set up so dogs can be separated if needed, and I always supervise introductions and interactions. I'm happy to provide individual walks, feed according to your dog's normal schedule, administer oral medications if needed, and accommodate crate routines if that's what your dog is used to. I will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you can have peace of mind while you're away. We have a toddler in our home (who has grown up with our dog and is respectful), so guest dogs should be comfortable around young children. Safety is my top priority, and I carefully supervise all interactions between pets and family members.
About: My dogs have always been very high needs growing up, so I have a lot of experience working with different diets, medications, and needs. I'm an athlete, so I can take them out for long periods of time to get exercise as needed, which can be really helpful for hyperactive dogs who have to be cooped up during the day. I'm also entirely capable of caring for senior dogs, I can take things at their pace and make sure they're comfortable and happy. I am currently a full time college student, but I have a lot of open time either between classes or after them. I commute to the Twin Cities from the suburbs, so I can easily travel wherever I am needed to be able to check in on or take care of your furry friends. Being in the cities with my own car I can take dogs out for walks around the lakes or down some of the trails nearby so they (and I) can get some proper exercise before my classes. When caring for pets, I always make sure they are getting plenty of time to move around, especially if I'm just dropping in to check on them, but regardless of the need. I like to keep a checklist of what I need to get done, as well as just having a bit of time to play with or pet them. I can take pets out for walks on foot or with my roller skates, which lets me go longer distances with them. I make sure to clean up any messes I might make, putting everything back as I found it and keeping things nice and tidy for when you get home again. I'm confident staying in new places, and can make sure everything stays safe in your home or space during my time there.
“Kendra is incredible! She does such a great job of watching our dog Tazer and we love getting the photos that she sends throughout the days we’re away! We sleep well knowing that Kendra is taking care of Tazer. Kendra is reliable, professional and very trustworthy! We are so grateful for her! ❤️🐾”
“Ketzia responded to a short notice request to house/dog sit for us. She did an excellent job again and left our home clean and neat. She responds timely, honestly, and appropriately throughout her shifts. She is an excellent caregiver and is someone we seek out intentionally when needing care for our pets. Thank you!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Blaine
Jessica was amazing! We have a nervous dog that usually takes awhile to warm up to new people, but he took to her right away! She took him on multiple walks and took great care of him in our home. She also sent multiple updates and pictures so we had great piece of mind while we were gone knowing he was comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend her, we will definitely be booking with her again!!
Very happy with Stefan's second time sitting for Rosie! He caters to Rosie's quirks and we come home to a happy dog. He was kind enough to also grab the mail and water my flowers while we were away. House was in good shape. Will definitely have Stefan sit again!
Breanna was amazing! She kept me updated the entire stay with photos and recaps of the day. We have a senior dog that is having health issues and she took such good care of him - giving him his meds, helping him around, and consoling him. She kept my pets active and was very thorough in understanding our instructions and preferences. My dogs loved her so much and can’t wait to see her again! Also, I came home to a nice clean home, with bedding and towels washed and everything perfect, which was so nice after a long day of traveling home. It gave me extra time cuddling my dogs when I got back! Thank you so much Breanna!
Anika was great! She was able to handle our two EB who tend to be high maintenance. This was our first time leaving them with a sitter so I was a bit nervous for my pups and Anika. However she a champ through the potty behavior and zoomies! Our house was in same order as we left it. I definitely will use her again if she’ll have us!!!
Danielle was amazing! We had a long trip far from our dog and she made us feel very comfortable and relaxed being away from her. Our dog has high anxiety and it seemed to not be an issue with Danielle. She responded back immediately with any text I sent, communication was great! She sent pictures and updates, keeping the whole family comfortable while being far away.
Becky always does a great job with our 2 dogs. She takes good care of them, communicates well, and is responsible and timely to her commitments. As always, I always recommend Becky to anyone needing care for their dogs. Thanks again! We will definitely book with Becky in the future.
Taylor left the house better than she found it. My husband and I were getting back from a long roadtrip and came back to washed sheets, towels, and a vacuumed house which is so above and beyond! She was attentive to our dog, Reagan, and walked her when weather allowed. I got updates with pictures and Reagan seemed to really love her. Thank you Taylor!!
Jenea is one of the best dog sitters! She is so compassionate with our 12 year old Corgi who has back leg issues. She cares so much she slept on the couch on main level as our Corgi can’t go upstairs and she didn’t want her to feel alone. So blessed to have her in our village!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Blaine on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,449 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Blaine. 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 Blaine 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 Blaine 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 Blaine 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 with handling special pet needs in Blaine. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
