“We highly recommend Cady! She was thorough in her care for our two large dogs and 3 ducklings. She was very prompt and it was apparent when we came home the animals had all been loved on and cared for. She also did a great job ensuring our plants were watered as well and took care of all aspects of our home. We will definitely be using Cady again!”
About: I have 4 years of professional boarding facility experience and am fully trained in administering oral medications, pill pockets, and topical treatments (no injections, please!). I'm an expert at reading animal body language and feel entirely comfortable managing all temperaments, including reactive, anxious, or aggressive pets. I am free anytime for drop in visits or walking your pets! I am a college student so I am only available on the holiday breaks! As a proud dog parent to two pups of my own, I know firsthand that pets aren't just animals—they are cherished members of the family who deserve endless love, patience, and undivided attention. My home is a space built on safety and routine, and I bring that exact same dedicated, protective care to your doorstep. Whether your pet needs a high-energy playmate, a calming presence to soothe their anxiety, or precise medication management, my priority is keeping them safe, secure, and completely comfortable until you return. You can relax knowing your furry family members are being treated with the same deep affection, respect, and vigilant care that I give my own every single day.
“My kitties are my children, and so leaving them for a weekend is always a bit nerve-wrecking for me. Thankfully I found Gabriel (last minute, too!) and he immediately made me feel relaxed and confident that Weebs and Girl would be taken care of! He sent me multiple pictures, always communicated with me, and left the place nice and tidy (despite our sometimes messy little kitties!) Gabriel is a wonderful person and I will definitely be asking him to come back!”

“Megan did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Paco! She kept me updated throughout the stay with regular pictures and messages, which really gave me peace of mind. I could tell Paco was happy and well cared for. I recommend Megan to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Madison was great. She took excellent care of my 19 year old cat who also needed thyroid medication twice daily. She was quick to understand what was needed and left the house looking clean and tidy. Sent the cutest photos too! I will definitely ask for her help with my cat again.”
About: I've had dogs in my family since I was a baby; I grew up around them and my love for them grew. I care deeply for my own dogs, and I'm always excited to meet a new four legged friend. I regularly petsit for my family, a multitude of dogs, cats, and aquatic creatures. My schedule is currently very flexible; I make time for a walk and training my own dog every day and I sometimes bring him with me when running errands. I love snuggling and hanging out with all kinds of pets, letting them get comfortable with me in their space and touching them at their own pace.
“Janette did a fantastic job house and pet sitting for us. She made sure to send pictures and updates multiple times a day. She treated our dogs very well, they were both very happy with her! I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again when needed.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had cats as part of my family. I also have experience caring for my parents’ Schipperke and regularly walk my neighbor’s Black Lab when they’re away. Spending time with animals has always been something I enjoy, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. My background in social services also taught me the importance of being dependable, patient, and communicative. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m happy to send photo updates after every visit so you can see how your pet is doing. I have a pretty flexible schedule with weekday and weekend availability. Mornings, afternoons, or evenings—whatever works best for your pet works for me. Whether you need regular walks or occasional drop-in visits, I’m happy to work with your schedule and your pet’s routine. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or keeping your cat company, I’ll provide reliable care and send photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Katarina was an amazing sitter for Zuko. She was incredibly accommodating, gave me continuous updates on Zuko, and went above and beyond with her care. Zuko ended up having some tummy issues and Katarina immediately updated me on the problem and even picked up his prescription from the vet on my behalf. She took great care of the home and was always available to help where she could while I was away. I would 100% book her services again and I am incredibly grateful for her care. Thank you so much Katarina!”
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, dogs that have complicated medical needs to dogs that are lax and can do everything on their own. I’ve always grown up with cats as well as a plethora of other animals including fish, lizards, birds, and frogs. I’ve housesat for multiple people over the years and have received much positive feedback! I’m working evening at a restaurant from 3pm to 8pm, so it doesn’t cause much shift in my capability to care for your furry friends! I am more than happy to stay at your place in caring for your pets or if easier/preferred, I can stop by intermittently throughout the day to give your pet the care it needs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Blaine
Tammy was a FANTASTIC home caretaker and dog sitter for Nelson during a recent 23 night stay in our home. Tammy was very attentive and adaptable to Nelson’s unique needs and daily routine. Tammy provided frequent updates and pictures of Nelson throughout the stay. She was also super communicative and responsive when I reached out to check-in. My spouse and I are so appreciative of Tammy’s kindness and the excellent care she took of our home while we were away. Tammy gave me so much piece of mind with her expert care. I would rebook Tammy without hesitation. Tammy was simply the BEST!!! A 5-star rating isn’t enough; 10 out of 10!! Highly recommend! THANK YOU, TAMMY!
Fantastic sitter - highly recommend! Communication was quick & easy and she put all of our worries to rest right from the start. She sent updates and it was clear that she genuinely cared about our cat’s comfort and happiness. Our cat was relaxed and well cared for when we got home. We will definitely use Ashley again and would recommend her,
Shyrelle was great! She watched our dog for one day. We then felt very comfortable having her watch our dog at our place for 5 days while we were out of town. She took extra care, as our dog can feel anxious while we are away. She kept us regularly updated with pictures & his well-being. Her kind nature put us & our dog at ease. Our place was found as we left it on our return. We would highly recommend. Thank you Shyrelle!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Blaine on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 555 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.

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.
