“Caitlin was communicative, kind and gentle with our Paco. She had our little guy cuddling all night long, and even reached out for a question he had in regard to his needs that I didn't address earlier. She was flexible in getting to the hotel exactly when I needed her there! We would book her again in a heartbeat! Thank you Caitlin!”
“Eva did a great job taking care of our big dogs. She was able to adapt to both of their quirky personalities and took them on regular walks. It is so nice to know your dogs are well taken care of when you are gone!! It really makes being away so much more comfortable❤️”
“Nina provided attentive care to our two dogs in our home. She provided daily check-ins that gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our 8 days away. She left our house clean and the dogs extremely happy!”
“We were so happy to find Kelsi to spend the night with Dollar. This was our first time using Rover and we would definitely recommend Kelsi and will likely try to book her again. Dollar loved her as well as we saw in the pic updates she sent.”
“Wendy was awesome for us again. She is very willing to help out in any way she can. Her calm demeanor and loving nature makes her a great companion for our dog while we are away!”
“Rachel did an amazing job with our 2 pups!!! She kept us updated and even washed the blanket one of our dogs got sick on which she didn’t have to do at all. The house was very clean when we got home. She followed all instructions. Even did the extras like collecting the mail & bringing up the trash cans. We will be using her again for sure!!”
“Fira hung with the pups while we were gone for the day. It was obvious they were happy. Especially since she sent a photo with one of them on her lap. We are grateful to have a wonderful dog sitter!! Highly recommend her!!”
About: I am flexible. As a substitute teacher I am able to work different times throughout the week and weekends are generally open. I can generally make anything work. I work 8:30-4:05pm most weekdays but am free in the evenings and weekends. Communication is key, and I can make most things work with my schedule. I cannot do service in home but can do walks and sitting at your home. I currently live with roommates so this is unrealistic for me:
“Joleen is very considerate and thorough. We enjoyed working with her as much as our pups did. Coming home to a clean house with happy dogs is a happy ending to a great vacation. I highly recommend Joleen!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 10 years. I am very well trusted by friends, family and neighbors. I enjoy spending time with dogs in any capacity! I work full time and usually go into the office 2-3 times a week. I work 15 minutes away from my house and can be flexible with being home at certain times during the day. I try to stick to a similar schedule during the week. I have a fenced in yard and enjoy a clean living space. I do allow dogs on my furniture, but can accommodate to similar environments and rules in their own home as needed.
“Michelle took excellent care of my high-maintenance elderly baby for 3 nights. She followed his routines (directions), treat and feeding habits, his need to go potty a LOT, and kept him calm and happy. She also kept me updated while I was away and sent pictures. I didn't worry while I was gone, and my baby seemed so relaxed when I got home. She also kept my house clean, which I appreciate!! I would highly recommend Michelle!!”
About: I have helped take care of dogs and cats since high school. I have helped with pets of all ages, including senior pets. I'm happy to be active with pets and walk and play with dogs. I also work full-time and will be mostly available on weekends. I do work from home as much as I can and can be flexible with that some of the time. I can take care of small dogs in my own home. Typically, I take care of pets at clients' homes and am open to any instructions needed to do so.
“Ellie did a great job taking care of our menagerie while we were out of town. Our dogs, Keba and Elvis, were excited to see her and they did very well with her. Our difficult cat, Jasper, also sat on her lap on the couch which is amazing! We highly recommend Ellie for taking care of your furbabies. They will be happy, relaxed, and well taken care of.”
“Leila was great with my pup, Winnie! Winnie is a little anxious but Leila gave her time to warm up to her and helped to keep her comfortable while I was away. She was responsive and gave regular updates and pictures which I really appreciated! She also left my place clean and in great shape. I’d definitely recommend her for any dog sitting needs!”
“We had a great experience with our reactive dog and nervous kitty! Iuliia came over for a meet and greet a few days prior to our trip and I was surprised at how quickly both pets took to her. She took great care of them and our home during her stay and sent us daily updates as requested. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: I work from home full time and have the capability and desire to have a cuddly fur baby around, snuggles, walks and lots of love a must. I like watching 1 dog at a time but if they are from the same family, please feel free to reach out if there are 2. I am able to be flexible. Since I work from home full time I am available to watch your fur baby during the day, night, boarding and on weekends if needed I would take them on walks when I could during the day, snuggles, some play time and rest when needed. Plenty of food and water, no fenced in back yard.
“Zach was my first stay-in rover sitter and he did such a great job with my two dogs while I was away. One of our dogs is very shy and by the end of his stay, she had definitely warmed up to him! He even went the extra mile and laundered the towels (mud season in minnesota) before heading out. My dogs have never been so content upon me returning from a trip, clearly showing they had gotten some very good attention. Thank you, Zach! We will be sure to rebook with you for our next Rover visit!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burnsville
Kelsi was incredible!! She provided updates and pictures daily which is always appreciated. Both our dogs were happy when we got home and she kept the house clean and tidy which is nice after coming back from vacation! I 100% recommend her for anyone needing house/ pet sitting!
Fira did an excellent job taking care of my two pomeranians. They are "wanty" and "needy" of a lot of hugging and petting, not to mention brushing. Fira did all of that and walked them and played with them. They were in happy spirits when I returned. It was the first time we had been apart, so it was stressful for the three of us. Fira stayed at my house the whole time, which was a relief. I am home most of the time and the poms are used to that. My poms were well cared for. I recommend Fira wholeheartedly.
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!!
Caitlin did a great job with my senior dog Bailie. Bailie was happy and the house was in order when we returned. Our drive back ended up being longer than planned and she was able to stay a bit longer to take Bailie out and feed her that day. We will have her back again if she is available when we need a sitter.
This was Wendy’s second time watching Raven, and it was clear the moment she arrived that Raven remembered and trusted her. Raven didn’t bark or get anxious—she just went over and sat beside Wendy as if to say, “My friend is here now. You can leave!” Normally Raven worries when she sees me getting ready to go, so seeing her completely relaxed gave me so much peace of mind. Wendy took wonderful care of her for three days while I attended a family reunion with my partner. We came home to a happy, content pup. We’ll absolutely book Wendy again!
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!!
Victoria was absolutely wonderful! She stayed at my house for a week to take care of my dog and two cats, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She kept in touch with regular updates and photos, which really helped me relax while I was away. My grumpy cat needs medication every night, and she handled it without any trouble. I came home to happy pets and a clean house—everything was perfect. I’d definitely recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Burnsville on Rover is $42.8 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 3,389 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Burnsville. 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 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 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.

- 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.
