“Our trip was 1000% better knowing Arnie was in such good care! We already felt better about our time away after meeting Victoria the first time. She is communicative, thorough, super good with dogs, and was very clean while in our house! We got pictures every day of our trip and could tell Arnie was happy and comfortable. We would definitely recommend her to anyone!!”
About: I’ve had and helped care for pets my entire life! From dogs and cats to guinea pigs and horses, I’ve always loved being around and caring for animals of all kinds. I’m familiar with the needs of cats and dogs of all ages and am dedicated to providing reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I just graduated from high school and am currently not taking classes over the summer. I work part-time at a barn, so I have a fairly open schedule. I am also very flexible and can meet the needs of any pet parent! In my experience, each pet sitting job is unique so I will follow each pet parent’s schedule and instructions. I pay great attention to detail and am responsible with timelines for tasks.
“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!❤️”
“Catarina was amazing with my GSD. She took great care of her, provided tons of updates and followed all our care instructions. We will definitely book with her again.”
About: Hi everyone, My names Ellana! Im currently 20 years old and absolutely adore animals! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old and currently have a frenchie of my own back in MN! Being away from home can be tough at times but spending time with animals is really an escape for me. I love all dogs from big to small, I do have a little bias for all breeds of bulldogs though, they are my fav! I am currently looking into going into canine physical therapy as a full time role for my future:) I’d love to help out as needed so please send me a message! I am a very active student so I love being able to give dogs the time outside that they need. That being said I am always willing to stay in for some cuddles. I have weekends off from all class and job requirements so I like to fill those times with some furry friends! I have my own room and plenty of space and capacity to take dogs on adventures via car or walk! I love spoiling pups when they are with me.
“Autumn took great care of our 3 "somewhat challenging" dogs. We've booked her for more upcoming trips and feel confident our pups will be in great hands with Autumn!”
“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.”
“Ann was absolutely fantastic! We had to use her on short notice because of a date mixup with our initial sitter. We have three tiny, *neurotic* and high maintenance Italian Greyhounds and we’ve never left them with anyone but family members. Ann stepped in for 2.5 days on short notice, including overnights. She quickly accommodated a meet and greet with the dogs, she was kind and personable, and the dogs took to her immediately. She hit the ball out the park, and we came home to three utterly relaxed dogs. She was very communicative, sending us texts and pictures. We will ABSOLUTELY use her as our regular going forward, so don’t hesitate to book her for peace of mind when you have to travel.”
“Jess was so wonderful to have watch our cat while we were away. She stayed at our place and kept our cat occupied with the laser and loved on while we were gone. I appreciated her sending pictures to us as well as coming home to a clean place! I would definitely recommend her and will use her again for the future. Thank you Jess!”
“Alison was great! Our pets were well-loved and taken care of. She was responsive to our communication and check-ins. Our house was also in nice order when we returned and she left some home-made cupcakes to welcome us back.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for as long as I can remember! Since I was a kid, I’ve helped care for family, friends’, and other owners’ dogs. I treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and love. I’m committed to providing safe, reliable care so both you and your dog can feel comfortable and confident while you're apart. I work part-time in June so I have plenty of time on my half days to walk/care for your dog! In July I’m mostly free to spend the day, take care, and play with your Pup. Whatever your dog needs, I want to make sure we follow. I'm happy to continue any of the recommended routines to help reduce stress and keep things consistent. I already try to be very careful with day-to-day management, such as keeping bathroom doors closed and making sure food isn't left accessible in the kitchen. Even if those things aren't currently an issue, they're still dogs and can get into things, so I do my best to stay proactive.
About: I've grown up with cats and dogs my entire life and have always loved all kinds of animals—chickens, goats, dogs—you name it! (Yes, I’ve had all of them!) My family currently has three cats: Harry, Thomas, and Luke. We recently said goodbye to our pug, Cooper, after 15 wonderful years. Two Christmases ago, I brought home our current dog, Kyah, for my family. She’s a Great Pyrenees-Anatolian Shepherd mix and my favorite napping partner! I also taught her a few fun tricks—she can turn around, roll over, speak, and, of course, give a good shake. I have experience with animals of all sizes and personalities, and I’d love the chance to care for yours! I'm currently pursuing a bachelors in nursing. My class schedule takes place in the afternoon, and I have no other priorities besides classes and studying. I'm able to go for as many walks as your dog would like, and give endless scratches! They will never be left alone for more than 3.5 hours (at the most). I'm comfortable giving any medications that are needed. I sit for my Aunts two german shepherds who both receive oral medication, as well one of them receiving a specialized raw diet.
“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!”
“Ryan was awesome! He was adamant about meeting my chihuahuas and giving updates often! He made sure that they were comfortable when some big storms moved through and was so considerate of being in our home. We are grateful and would use again.”
“Zach was very good at building a strong bond with my dog. He sent photos and took him on walks even when he was resistant (not a fan of the cold). He also took care of our bunny and cat. He was able to effectively handle more then one pet at a time and made sure all got equal time and attention.”
“Brooke is all that you could possibly ask for and more from someone caring for your pet. We were thrilled with the attention and love she gave our pup and it was clear she immediately made him comfortable. Best Rover experience ever.”
“We could not have left our pup and our home in better hands. Deb was great with Jasper, and that's not an easy feat, as he is a big, rambunctious, and sometimes unpredictable guy. Our weekend away was stress free and we loved getting the photo updates from Deb. We are already dreaming of our next getaway, and Deb will be the first person we call to dog and house sit for us again.”
About: I have over two years of hands-on experience providing loving, dependable pet care, including drop-in visits, in-home dog sitting, and dog walking. I’m lucky to have several amazing regular clients and truly enjoy building strong bonds with the pets I care for. One of my absolute favorites is Remy, a playful white Labrador I’ve been trusted to watch for over a year, he always keeps me smiling! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have four of my own, so caring for pups is second nature to me. I’m passionate about making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I am currently in school, but I have a very flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to check in on pups and spend quality time with them. I love being able to give dogs my full attention, whether that means extra playtime, long walks, or just keeping them company and making them feel comfortable and loved. Because I have four pups of my own at home, I do not offer pet sitting in my home. However, I am very comfortable caring for pets in your home, where they can stay in their familiar environment. I’m happy to keep your home tidy, follow your routines, and provide your pups with plenty of companionship, attention, and love while you’re away.
“Our cats were very well taken care of. Samantha provided daily feedback and pictures. She even got the picky one to eat and sit with her. Would happily have her pet sit for us again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chaska
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!
Laura is excellent, our family highly recommends her! We have a temperamental Border Collie, two cats and special food for each one. Laura has such a positive attitude and our pets love her. We felt so confident and comfortable leaving our pets in Laura’s care! Regular updates and photos were just what we hoped for. Overall, not a thing we change for a future time leaving our pets in Laura’s care!
Trinity cared for my senior cat in my home for 5 days. During that time I received updates and photos - those photos showed my cat, Gertie, looking calm, content, and being silly. I felt relaxed and confident having Trinity at home watching over my cat who can, at times, be a challenge. On arrival home, my house was clean and my cat just fine. Would I have Trinity care for her again? Yes, without hesitation.

FAQs for House Sitting - Chaska
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Chaska on Rover is $61.05 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 3,147 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Chaska. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
