“Caitlin was wonderful watching my dogs this past weekend. This is my first experience with Rover. She was highly responsive with communication. She came over to my house in advance to meet the dogs in order to ensure a smooth transition, especially given my dogs protective nature. She also walked me through the process and expectations, not having used Rover previously. My dogs took well to her and that was most important! I would absolutely book with her again.”
“Nina and Zach were very friendly and my dog, Teddy, liked them on first meeting. Zach stayed and took good care of Teddy and sent daily updates with text and a photo.”
“Kelsie was awesome!!! Moose loved all the attention and cuddles and he can't wait to have her stay with him again. She kept us updated on how he was doing and sent pics for us throughout the stay. Thanks, Kelsie for taking such good care of our fur baby!!”
“Anika was sweet and responsive, our cats loved her. She sent many pictures while we were away. We came home to a pristine house with the sheets in the dryer, and very happy cats. Would not hesitate to book her again.”
“Luliia was extremely professional, communicative, and friendly. We felt that our pups were in great hands while we were away for a week. The house was in beautiful shape when we arrived home, and she followed all of our instructions for care of the two dogs. we will definitely use her for all of our future bookings!”
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, rodents, name any animal and I’ve had it! After my experience working at animal shelters, i’m well rounded and nothing can surprise me anymore! I’m working part time at a vet clinic, my schedule is pretty flexible and and my boyfriend’s schedule is as well. We have two pets of our own who get majority of our free time and yours will as well:) I have a hyper black lab who loves to play and be everyone’s best friend! We prefer cat friendly as I do have a spynx who is more like a dog than a cat lol. I’m super flexible so any requests can be accommodated!
“Jacqueline stayed with our 7 month old puppy for four days and house sat. This was the first time we had left our pup. He had some stress accidents, she handled very well and cleaned them up. The house was left very neat, plants healthy, and dog happy. She communicated well and updated with pics. I would certainly recommend, very responsible, friendly, and caring. We will certainly use again!”
“We’ve used Brooke several times and can’t recommend her enough! We have 2 dogs and 2 cats and she is great with each of them. The animals love her and we love knowing that they are well cared for while we’re away.”
“Michelle is the best! ❤️ I knew my fur girls were in wonderful hands and being so well cared for while I was away. They seemed to be having a great time, too! It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were happy and loved. I couldn’t ask for anyone better!”
“Olivia was great with our dog, Marty. Who is in need of a pretty specific schedule. Olivia went over and above by sending us pictures and/or videos each day we were out of town. And we asked if she’d water some plants while we were away and she was happy to. Would definitely recommend Olivia to others 🙂”
About: I walk dogs usually 3 or 4 times a day. Sometimes even 5. Depending on their age, fitness level, health etc. They absolutely love being outside rest assure your dog will not be lying around all day unless that is something you would like me to do. Also I have a absolutely fantastic dog park here. What's great is it's usually empty and the dogs can exercise at their own pace. Also I have a great walking path outside my complex and my neighborhood is perfect for dogs we could walk almost 2 miles without barely leaving the block. One thing I provide that other sitters don't is 24/7 companionship. The dogs and I get really attached to each other and we rarely leave each others side. I like to stay home I live alone and when we are not out 99% of the time we are together. I'm sure most of the sitters don't take the time to spend with your dog the way that I do. I'm excellent at communicating with Pictures, Text, and Details if that's your preference. I'm 60 years old and retired this is all I do. I can only handle a certain amount of dogs per month. I am a walker I walk well over 60 miles a month. I'm in a great neighborhood right around the block from the Eagan Outlets Stores. Thank you very much for your consideration. I am retired and this is my only job so I am available 24/7. I have 4 great walking paths outside without barely leaving the block. Very little traffic great neighborhood right by the Eagan Outlets Stores. As far as safety and environment I have a 300,000.00 insurance policy for all of our protection. I live in a excellent neighborhood right by the Eagan Outlets Stores.
“SO happy & pleased with how Megan & Lucky treated our precious Wilson and home. We feel so lucky to have found them. They left our home in tip-top shape and Wilson was as happy as can be :) Seriously impressed!”
“Dannie did such an amazing job with my sweet Pax while I was out of town! He’s a slow-moving older guy who needs some extra TLC and I can tell he was wonderfully cared for by Dannie and loved having a new friend to spend the weekend with! My house was so clean and in wonderful shape when I got home, I would absolutely recommend Dannie and can’t wait for Pax to see her on our next booking!”
“Connie was very helpful and very nice to my cat and dog she took care of while I was out of town. She provided daily updates, pictures and videos via WhatsApp and communicated effectively. She took really good care of my cat and dog and followed my instruction with regards to medicationand feeding. Super happy with the service she provided and would use her again”
About: I have owned a few dogs over the years and know that dogs are very much part of the family! I currently own a large dog named Coco and she is one of my favorite companions and is a blast to hang around for a good walk. I usually like to play with my dog and engage in both physical and mental games so that they can stay engaged and have fun! My schedule is semi-flexible as I’m a student, from Sunday through Saturday . My schedule will usually be updated consistently if I am available . I request that I get a detailed list of instruction or information that I may need to know about your furry friend or any aggressive behaviors for both mine and your dogs safety. I usually will let a dog approach me first and let them get to know me so that they are comfortable around me. I think it’s good to build some levels of trust with your dog and to be in a safe environment where they feel they are most comfortable.
About: I am also a pet sitter on the app TrustedHouseSitters and really enjoy the journey of pet sitting! I grew up LOVING dogs but was never allowed one and only grew up with cats & a bearded dragon of my own, so I would only get the chance to be with dogs when it came to friends having them. As I got older and attained my own place, I took it upon myself to dog sit for my friends, family, and sometimes neighbors. I’ve been doing this for 4 years now, in my home and their homes as well. The longest I have dog sat is for a year for a family friend while they were away in the military. (The dog was untrained and very hard to take care of lol) I have an unconditional love for all animals! I am a fashion model and a brand ambassador, so my work is all very flexible and I get to decide when I will work. When saying in home and taking care of your pet, I will take all the precautions and needs that are to be provided to your pet seriously.
“They were great!!! We got lots of pictures throughout our time away, and our dogs seemed so happy. Abby, Justin, and their daughter went above and beyond visiting and playing with our pups while we were gone. They even made us ornaments with our dogs paw prints on them, since we spent Christmas away!”
About: I am experienced in senior pets, and reactive dogs. I can walk reactive dogs up to 30 pounds. I avoid busy times and know to look for triggers before the pup notices. I do not have a weight limit for non-reactive dogs. Additionally, I have experience with freshwater aquariums, parrots, hamsters, and mice! Play, cuddles (or space), and leashed walks will keep us quite busy! Expect a lot of photos. I do have a peanut allergy so I am not able to offer peanut based treats, and ask that they be put away beforehand. Thank you! I work full-time Thursday-Sunday so I have full availability to watch your pets on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday without distractions! Walks, drop-ins, and meet and greet availability would be anytime Monday-Wednesday or after 6pm on my work days. I will follow your instructions, set alarms for potty breaks and walks, and be available to send photo and text updates. During house sitting, I will let you know about my drop-in visit schedule. Your pet will never be alone without notice.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burnsville
This is the second time she’s watched Bravo and stayed at our home, and she’s been amazing both times! She takes great care of him and our home, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands while we’re away. She’s reliable, caring, and does a great job. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter! 😊
Kelsi was absolutely amazing with our two golden retrievers! We usually have family or friends watch them, but no one was available during our wedding weekend, so we were a little nervous about leaving them with someone new during such a busy and important weekend. Kelsi made us feel completely at ease from the start. Each of our dogs eats a different food and has different supplements and medications, so there were quite a few details to keep track of. Kelsi was incredibly attentive, followed all of their routines perfectly, and took such great care of them. She kept us updated and sent pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was such a relief knowing our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were celebrating our wedding. We would absolutely trust Kelsi with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and dependable sitter!
Stephanie was amazing!! She showed so much love and care for our dog and also took wonderful care of our plants. She was incredibly flexible and helpful when we needed to leave at the last minute, and she really took the time to make sure our dog was well cared for while keeping us updated throughout our trip. I felt completely at ease knowing everything was in such good hands. We are so grateful for her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and thoughtful pet sitter!!
Julia was an amazing dog sitter!! We have two anxious Italian Greyhounds that need a lot of attention and love. Julia really fit the bill and made them comfortable. I would trust her in the future with any cares. She even sent professional looking photos of our pets having a good time. So fun to see.
Caty was an outstanding dog sitter. She was flexible, responsible and communicative during our time away. She went above and beyond to care for our three dogs one of whom has special health concerns. Her health care background was incredibly helpful in that regard. She sent great photos and kept us well informed. We would definitely ask her to watch our beloved pets again.
Savannah was amazing! She sent pictures multiple times a day, walked the dogs, played with them, communicated regularly with me and it was great to have her hang out with Thor and Loki for a couple days. I would definitely recommend Savannah to everyone looking for someone to watch their pups. I will be reaching out for certain!
This was our second time having Missy dog sit for us, and she was fantastic. We didn’t have a single worry while we were away on vacation! She communicates well and provides timely updates, which we loved. They made us smile knowing our dog was being well cared for and having her own little vacation 😊. Would highly recommend.
Taylor did a fantastic job housesitting for us over Thanksgiving!! She’s very communicative, responsible, sent lots of pictures, and obviously genuinely loves dogs. She was also willing to be flexible and added time upfront for us at the last minute. We appreciate Taylor and would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pet!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Burnsville is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Burnsville 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 Burnsville 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 Burnsville 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
