House Sitting in Cottage Grove

“Samantha was amazing with our dog and she was comfortable right away during the meet and greet. While we were gone Samantha sent regular updates and photos. We were very comfortable that Momo was in good hands!”

“Morgan was great with our dog! We needed a last minute sitter while we were on vacation and she was able to help us out and stay at our house with our dog who is a very anxious, clingy and senior dog. She made it a smooth transition for him and took him for walks, gave cuddles and gave him more attention than we do with a toddler at home! Morgan gave us updates and sent pictures to let us know how he was doing. We will definitely use Morgan again and recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great sitter!”

“Paige did a good job looking after our feisty little Yorkie. When we got back she seemed happy and relaxed. Thank you for taking care of her. Will be booking her again.”

“Keely took great care of our two dogs (and home) while we were away for a week out-of-state. Her first night with the dogs, she weathered a tornado warning and kept the dogs feeling safe in our home while sirens went off. Thankfully all was okay. We received daily updates and pictures and would recommend Keely for your dog sitting needs. We will use her again when the time comes.”

“Jessica was great, my dog had the best day with her! My dog doesn't realize he's as big as he is, but she didn't mind him in invading her space and treated him like the spoiled four-legged baby that he is! She was so good to him and I greatly appreciate it!”

Stephanie S.

“Alex was amazing! She arrived on time, asked great questions and took notes, and was very communicative. We felt very comfortable with her staying in our home. She also sent sweet photos of our boys, who we could tell were having the best time. We will definitely book her again!”

Kate H.

“Kristina took excellent care of our two dogs! She gave them more love than they get on a regular day with us, and she sent daily video updates to reassure me that all was going well. We will definitely be asking her to help us in the future.”

Emily G.

“Kelsey was great. She stayed with our 2 dogs for a long weekend. We got tons of updates and photos throughout the day. Communication was great. Will be a returning customer.”

“Hayley was amazing during a 2 week house sitting for us! Her communication was very timely, she went above and beyond caring for just our dogs/cat e.g. feeding the fish, picking up medicine from our vet, picking up a CSA order, etc. She also left the house so clean and laundered the sheets/towels which was so nice to come home to from vacation! I'd gladly rebook Hayley again!”

About: I am a retired registered nurse. I am used to giving medications to both dogs and people. I have administered insulin to dogs. I live in a quiet home on a quiet street I am home most of the time. I have plenty of time to play with puppies and I'm flexible. Taking care of a pet would not interfere with my daily routine at all I have a yard it is not fenced but it is a very quiet neighborhood and there are very quiet streets where I can walk a dog

“Katlyn was absolutely fantastic! She took amazing care of our dog Honey and sent us tons of photos and updates that kept us completely at ease while we were away. Not only did she care for Honey, but she also looked after our home so thoughtfully. We came back to a spotless house, a lovely welcome home plant, and a sweet handwritten note. It’s clear Katlyn goes above and beyond. We’d highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”

“Dylan was fantastic! He treated my dog, Olive, like he would his own. Dylan took her on multiple walks daily, and she received plenty of attention/play time. I was provided daily updates including pictures. Olive was in great hands while I was away, and Dylan was also very respectful of the house. Plants watered and house clean. I will definitely use Dylan again for any Rover services! Highly recommend!”

Adam C.

“Grace took care of our dogs over 4th of July weekend. I knew when I first met her that they would be in good hands. She walked them a couple times a day and was understanding when Moki was afraid of the noises that occur this time of year. She was on time and provided great communication throughout her stay. Thanks Grace!”

Daryl A.

“Carla was absolutely amazing! When we got home, our pup was sad to watch her new friend leaving :( Carla updated us the whole trip, took Stella on walks throughout the day, and made sure she was fed at the right time. I felt so confident away knowing Stella was in great hands! 10000% recommend”

Jazzy O.

“Kristi provided phenomenal care and updates for our pup while we were away. I recommend Kristi to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter!”

About: As a traveling house sitter, I've had the delight to house sit for families all over the world! I love to explore the areas where I'm staying. I delight in the history of an area, the local food scene and exploring on foot. I love to hike and welcome 4 legged hiking pals! I have been house sitting / pet sitting for friends starting in college. I spend summers with my family in MN and I love the that I'm able to travel Sept-May house sitting in much warmer climates since 2019. I always appreciate the trust shown to me by those leaving their animals and home in my care. I have used Trusted Housesitters for almost all my international sits (47 sits as of 5/28/25 all with 5-star reviews! I love what I do!) and would be happy to provide screenshots of my reviews. Hi! My name is Vikki and I'm a project manager who works in technology. I'm self employed and can work from anywhere using my computer and wi-fi. This has allowed me the flexibility to work from anywhere in the world. With my work schedule, I appreciate the routine it provides to me and the animals I care for. I love house sitting and the company of the pets. I like that I feel like a "local" as soon as I land at a new house sit! I love taking walks to explore where I am staying. All the better if there is a companion to come along! I am responsible, respectful, tidy and love to be around animals. I have learned that I am very adaptable. I can flex to the schedules of the animals helping them maintain the routine they are accustomed to and ease the transition while their humans are away. I've cared for several rescue animals, dogs, cats, turtles and chickens! I also grew up on a farm so am familiar with farm animals. I've been sitting consistently since 2019 and I'm grateful that all my hosts have invited me back and I’ve made repeat visits to several! I view house sitting as the serious job it is and value the trust placed in me to care for fur babies and homes.

“Kayla did a great job with our older dog, Raven! Would recommend her to house and dog sit for others. We will have her back at our house!”

“Jessica is the best, she has taken care of my cat Peggy before and my cat loves her. This time she Jess helped us taking care of my friend’s cat Sophie and my cat Peggy both of them loved her. I will definitely reach her again with no doubts”

About: I believe in creating a calm, safe environment for pets, whether it’s a fun walk around the neighborhood or a cozy nap at home. My MinPin passed away a year ago and I miss having a companion, hoping I can help be that human for a fur baby who may need sometimes that too. I am available weekdays and weekends, and I always send daily updates with pictures to keep you connected with your pet while you're away. I always want you to feel like your pet is at a home-away-from-home. I am available weekdays and weekends. I currently work part time from home and have three children in school. I can walk during the day and some evenings, in my neighborhood or the many trails around our city. I am able to work from my phone and/or laptop, if you prefer I accompany your pet at your home. Having grew up with dogs and cats, I understand that animals need to trust me in their space, as I need to trust them in mine. I prefer to stick to a routine and a schedule closest to your pets, rather than adapt them to mine temporarily. I do allow animals to sleep on my furniture, however if you do not, I am respectful of that. You know your pet best :) We do have two geckos that reside in cages in my kids rooms, these rooms will be blocked off from visitors.

About: I have had dogs in our family for the past 13 years and counting, puppy stage to senior stage! I worked with Coco’s Heart Dog Rescue to foster dogs in the past, however, taking a break on the foster journey to pursue other adventures. Our family dog is good with dogs coming and going because our time fostering for CHDR. I have a nine year old Catahoula leopard with lots of energy and excited to have a friends to play with! Your support helps get/continue my kids with music lessons at Rock U in Woodbury; Cooper in drums and Piper in piano(soon)! Main goal would get my kids into NewLife Academy for school in Woodbury and want to leave a fat tip or know anyone! :-) Currently I am working full time in office Monday- Friday. I have the ability to flex my working hours if morning or afternoon check ins are needed. I have a fenced in backyard with access from back deck that is off the kitchen. I have one extra crate if it is needed for your fur baby.
