“Olivia was amazing. She was able to take care of our pets on short notice and was able to accommodate a quick meet and greet as well. She shared regular updates and truly went the extra mile in caring for our dog. Fantastic job and I would recommend her to anyone that needs pet care.”
“Vanessa was an outstanding caregiver to our dog. She communicated with us frequently with text and pics. My very shy dog warmed up to her quickly and she kept our house totally neat and clean. Would highly recommend.”
“Desiree did a great job! Our dog, Derby, seemed so happy with her! She sent lots of cute pics of Derby living her best life! House was very clean as well upon our return! We would definitely use Desiree again!❤️”
“Jess was amazing! Her friendliness won our dog over right away, and our (very timid) cat wanted attention from her, too! Jess was very good at communicating, asking questions, sending pictures and making sure that our pets were well taken care of. She's a natural with animals which is wonderful because our dog freaked out when our smoke detector started chirping and Jess handled it all like a pro! (And bonus that she left my house super clean!). I highly recommend Jess and will use her again in the future.”

“Emma is a wonderful dog-sitter!! She cared for my older Tibetan Terrier in such a gentle, respectful manner, given our dog has diminished vision and is hard if hearing though goes for walks without an issue. During my 3 nights away, she also kept me informed so I knew all was well. I couldn’t have been happier with her kind & considerate care! I would definitely recommend her services.”
“Catarina is awesome! She stayed with our cat and dog for 3 days and provided cute pictures and videos. You could tell they were very well cared for while we were gone 😊. We will definitely ask her to house/pet sit for future trips!! Five stars for sure! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Emma was such and incredible sitter for our pets. She made it so easy for us to enjoy our vacation without having to worry about our pets. I will most definitely be asking her to pet sit for us again and I highly recommend her.”
“Michelle took wonderful care of our senior dog who has some special needs. She was a great communicator, caring and made us feel so comfortable leaving our dog. I would definitely use her again!”
“Another excellent trip with Elaine watching our reactive pups! She gets that they are super slow to warm up and even worked on some socialization with her new puppy. Excellent!! Thank you! We will book again.”
“I would recommend Karina to anyone. She’s everything you want to watch your dog, responsible, respectful, professional, and our dogs loved her. This was our fist time with Karina and will use her again no questions asked. Thank you Karina!”
“Andy was amazing with Snipper! She took such great care of her and made sure she was happy and comfortable the entire time. It was clear that Andy spent a lot of time playing with Snipper and giving her plenty of attention, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing Snipper was in such good hands. I highly recommend Andy to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you so much, Andy!”
“Sam was fantastic! Very communicative and sent pictures and updates every night. I felt so comfortable having her here with our boys and will definitely be using her again.”
“Brooke is amazing! We have a reactive dog that needs a few introductions before feeling comfortable with new people. Brooke took extra time with us and our pup to ensure everyone was comfortable for an overnight stay on our wedding day. She has such compassion for animals and I can’t recommend her enough!”
“My pet was well taken care of by Nikki and she did a fantastic job. She provided updates of my cat on daily basis along with pictures and left me a note at the end. I would hire her again.”
“Kelly was amazing! It was our first time using Rover and she helped ease my first time jitters. Our dog has separation anxiety and she was available to house sit and be there the majority of the time. She sent videos and photos for our kids and us to see. She walked and played outside a lot keeping our dog active and thus calmer.”

I highly recommend Karina for any of your pet sitting needs!! Karina is very caring, professional and detailed oriented. She took great care of our dog and cats and provided timely updates with the greatest pictures! I will definitely be asking her to take care of our pets and home again in the near future. Thank you, Karina, for the outstanding service!
Alex sat for my dog Tucker for a few days and was genuinely one of the best sitters we've had. She sent detailed updates multiple times a day — morning, midday, afternoon, and before bed — always with photos, so I never had to wonder how he was doing. She was meticulous about the details: tracking his walks, measuring food portions, monitoring his water intake, and making sure he got his joint medication. When Tucker had trouble settling one night, she figured out he was barking at something outside, covered the window with pillows, and stayed with him until he calmed down. She also remembered he wasn't great with other dogs and avoided engaging with a neighbor's dog on a walk — exactly the kind of attentiveness you hope for but don't always get. What really stood out was her initiative beyond just the basics. She asked if we wanted her to bring in the garbage cans from the driveway — a small thing, but it showed she was thinking like someone who genuinely cared about the house and not just checking boxes. She left everything in great shape and was communicative and warm throughout. I'd book Alex again in a heartbeat and recommend her without reservation.
Caroline was very prompt at our house early in the morning to dog sit our pup. She unfortunately had to deal with blizzard conditions while we were away but Oscar was happy and well taken care of. We came home to a tidy house and she even managed to get our trash cans out to the road in half a foot of snow! She was very professional in our interactions and she gave us a daily update on how things were going. This was the second time she has housesit for us and we wouldn’t hesitate to ask her again.
Lacy was absolutely wonderful. Harley warmed up to her immediately, and when we sat down to chat, he went and laid by her feet. Lacy texted me a few times to let me know everything was going great with Harley. It really made me feel comfortable about being away for a long weekend. Without hesitation, I would use Lacy again; she is the best!

FAQs for House Sitting - Chaska
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Chaska on Rover is $44.4 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 3,129 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chaska. 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 Chaska 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 Chaska 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 Chaska 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
