I think Roxie is already looking forward to spending more time with you soon!”

My husband and I went out of state to a destination wedding where there was little cell reception and Liv was so communicative by sending updates morning, afternoon, and night for our two dogs.

About: Pet sitter with over a decade of experience. I currently specialize in pets with special needs: 🦴 Seniors 🦴 Deaf/blind 🦴 Rescues/Trauma informed care 🦴 Medication administration Formerly an early childcare director, so the safety & well being of your loved ones is my top priority. I am big on communication and enjoy sending updates, photos and videos while caring for fur babies. I work a very flexible job that allows me to be in and out of the house each day. Communication is paramount for me - prior to beginning services I will get to know you and your pet(s), and we will discuss your priorities and expectations to ensure a positive experience for your fur baby. At this time I am only offering services at clients’ homes. I have several references available for your peace of mind. I enjoy sending multiple detailed updates throughout the day, with pictures or videos as well! Comfortable administering medication and providing puppy, kitten, or senior pet care.
“Melissa was amazing with my dog, Maple! She kept me updated with daily pictures and summaries of their adventures. She also took great care of my house. I look forward to having her house sit again!”
About: I have my own shih tzu-poodle mix that I've been showering with love for almost 9 years. Before that, I was a go-to sitter for family and friends with dogs. Whether it's popping in a couple times per day to let them out and get some exercise, or if you're not comfortable kenneling them and need a place for them to stay while you go on a much-needed vacation, your pup will get all the love and attention they need. I'll follow your directions to a T, from feeding times to medication. Do you like pupdates and pictures while you're away to check in on your fur-child? No problem! Just let me know any special needs your dog has and we'll be prepared to have a great time until you return. I work full time, but I am typically working from home Mondays and Fridays and in the office Tuesday-Thursday. I also volunteer occasionally on weekends, so depending on the days your pet will be with me, they may need to spend some time in their crate. I have a townhouse that is all one level, but there are stairs leading up from the entry way, so senior dogs or those with joint issues might have some trouble unless they’re able to be carried. Pets are free to roam the house while I’m home, although if I have to work or otherwise leave the home for something, I do request that the dogs I watch are crate trained for their safety.
“Ana was a great dog sitter. Sadie and Lulu were well cared for and I got lots of updates from her and it put me at ease that they were in good care. Ana was responsive when I scheduled her. I'll definitely book her again. Thanks!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Eagan
Meghan was so flexible and wonderful with Norman. He immediately was ready to snuggle and cuddle with her all weekend and I know she loved him up! Meghan also was so kind and made sure I came home to a clean house and clean bedding. Norman looks forward to the next time!
There are not enough stars to describe what an amazing human being and pet sitter Letty is!! It was clear from the first time that she came to meet us that she LOVES animals. Letty was helpful, considerate, attentive to my dog's needs, and a pleasure to work with. She left my house in better shape than she found it. Letty is an angel who I felt completely comfortable with and grateful to for the wonderful care she gave to Winnie the Pooh!
We had a wonderful experience with Aurora! She was reliable and caring. Our pets were happy and well cared for, and we really appreciated the regular updates. We came home to everything in great shape and would happily have her sit for us again. Highly recommend!
Olivia was wonderful. She kept us updated regularly. Ernie sometimes seems sad even when we come back from being put of town but he was his joyful self when we got home this time because he had a great time with Olivia. The house was like she had never been there. We would love to have Olivia stay again!
Janet was absolutely amazing! She gave each of our dogs personalized care. She asked thoughtful questions and really listened. She took great care of our very old dog. She gave him his medicine and even got up with him at night with no complaints. One of the best dog sitters we've ever hired! Would absolutely have her watch our dogs again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Eagan is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $78 per night.

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 Eagan 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 Eagan 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Eagan 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.
