“Catherine did an EXCELLENT job for our kitties while we were away! She clearly cared to learn each of their personalities, and clearly loved them up as much as I could hope for. She sent great updates, awesome photos, and was sure to follow our directions really carefully - we have one who is a trouble maker, so glad that I didn't have to worry at all! I would absolutely recommend Catherine to sit for your kitties.”
“Alma was awesome. She gave me updates and pictures throughout her stay with my puppy baby. That put my mind at such ease. She was caring and patient and obviously an animal lover.”
“This was our second time having Alex stay with our pups and she was just as amazing! Our boys always look so happy with her and it’s so nice to know they are in good hands while we are away. I’ve been recommending her to everyone!”
“Julia has done a few drop-ins and an overnight stay with my two pups now and I always come home to very happy babies! She's great with communication and is very respectful of my home! She's someone I'll ask to watch my dogs over and over!”
“Ruthie was great! She came to our home to meet Moses and stayed with him for a weekend. Moses is a large golden with endless energy so we feel blessed that Ruthie was up for the gig and she sent photos and updates which was great! Highly recommend”
“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.”
“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.”
“Nina & her fiancé were great for our 2 young dogs with different temperaments & personalities. Her communication was clear & direct. They are very capable & left our home in perfect condition. We highly recommend them!”
“We are so grateful for the amazing care Meghan gave to Rambo and Simba! She was reliable, kind, and kept us updated while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our boys were happy, well cared for, and comfortable when we got back. You can truly tell she loves animals and treats them like her own. We highly recommend Meghan and will always be our #1 sitter!”
“Olivia watched my two dogs all weekend while I was out of town. She easily made friends and took good care of them for a few days. I'd recommend Olivia to anyone who needs someone to look after their pets”
“Rachel is wonderful !!! She and my 1 yr old Goldador Remigus (Remi) instantly bonded at the meet and greet and became great best buddies and new friends. Would highly recommend and plan on more housesitting and/or visits when needed! Thanks so much Rachel !!! Julie and Remi”
“We are so grateful to have found Iuliia on Rover when we first moved to MSP. She was so flexible and did so well meeting our dog for the first time (who is VERY anxious and barks a lot at new people). A year later and in need of a last minute sitter, Iuliia was available and we are so glad she was willing to watch our sweet pup. She has so much experience especially with dogs who are anxious/can come across as somewhat scary and aggressive. She handles our scared pup with so gentleness and patience. Our dog is tough to meet at first but Iuliia was unphased! We are so grateful for her and will absolutely be repeat customers!!!”
“Cassidy was an amazing sitter! Chessy was so excited to see her and cried when she left. I knew my pup was well taken care of. She was very respectful of my place. I would not hesitate to book again or recommend her to others!”
“Kelsey was terrific with our pups and cat! She was attentive to detail, communicative and left our place nicer than she found it. Hope she’s available next time we go out of town!”
“I had a great first experience with Penny! She was on time, sent updates and photos, left my home the way she found it, and seemed happy to spend time with my pups. Will definitely have her back.”
“This is our second time having Seth pet sit for us - he's awesome! Lots of photos and updates. Dobby is a very anxious dog and Seth is incredibly patient with him. Highly recommend - in fact, we already have another overnight stay booked.”
About: I have always loved animals (more than the average person, I would argue!) and have helped care for my family and friends’ pets for over a decade. I meet pets where they are at, respecting their boundaries and their home environment to make them feel safe and loved. I will treat your pet as if they were my own! My schedule is flexible. Some days I work my full time job mornings (8:30-4) and some days I work second shift (2-10pm), so that is something to factor in when considering your pet’s schedule. I am available most weekends for overnight stays, and free for check ins and overnight stays on weekdays as well. I am also available most days for walks or drop-ins. Time of day will depend on my other work schedule. When I care for your pet, I also care for your home. I am very responsible, trustworthy, and mindful of my environment and understand the privilege of being welcomed into a client’s home. I am also a professional cleaner, so whether or not you’d like my cleaning services, I will make sure to leave your home in the very best condition.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Eagan
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!
Maliya was amazing! Our pets loved her, especially our dog. She sent the perfect amount of pictures and updates on how the pets were doing. She even got our cat, who is normally very shy of new people, to come out and spend time around her. She was very respectful of our space and we will be rebooking her in the future. Highly recommend!
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.
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Eagan
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Eagan on Rover is $49.95 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 3,385 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Eagan. 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 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.
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 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 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 Eagan. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
