“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!”
“I would highly recommend Olivia. She did a great job with our fur babies, even extending her stay when we had unexpected vehicle issues and couldn’t get home. She was respectful of our home and very responsive. I would definitely use her again for our next trip.”
“CJ and Mike took care of my dog Zoe and cat Twyla over the labor day weekend at my house and everything was great. Well, perhaps not so great for them specifically...my dog has had a lot of diarrhea lately, especially around the times we go on vacation, and unfortunately Mike and CJ had to clean up a dog deuce mess inside. So it stinks they had to deal with a doggo mess inside but they seemed to handle it without complaint, and Zoe and Twyla both looked happy and well taken care of while we were gone. Thanks again for keeping them alive and happy!”
“Our house was spotless and our kiddos were happy! Evy was great! She communicated with us the whole time, and kept us updated on our zoo at home! We have a pup with some bladder control issues and reactivity, and Evy handled her like a champ! Will for sure be using Evy again!”
“Breanca was amazing! She was so communicative and made sure we got plenty of photos. We got home and our animals didn’t even seem to miss us, I know that means they got so much love while we were gone. Thank you so much!! I would recommend to anyone looking for an amazing rover!”
“Kris was fantastic! She was so patient and understanding with our overly nervous and anxious rescue dog. Our dog takes a while to warm up to strangers, so I was very nervous about having someone stay at our house, but Kris made me feel comfortable from the moment she first met our pup. Kris provided thorough communication the entire weekend. I would highly recommend her and definitely hope to have her house sit again!”
“Leah did a great job watching Harley (soft coated wheaten terrier) while we went on a short 4 day trip. Kept us up to date on how he was doing and made sure he had his walks and breaks.”
“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”
“Lia & Steven were wonderful!! Our dogs were so loved and well cared for while we were away. They provided many updates and pictures and were great at communicating! We will absolutely use them again and are so happy we found them!!”
“Eva did great with our three dogs over an extended (6 night) stay of house sitting. They all have their goofy quirks, so we appreciated her spending the time with them to keep them all happy and healthy. We came back to three very excited and well cared for pups. Would highly recommend.”
“Fira was wonderful with our senior dog. I would hire her again in a heartbeat! We were out of the country and she was very good at proactive communication. Our dog had a hard time with us gone and she handled everything with care and patience. We know he was in great hands!! Cannot recommend her enough.”
“Maliya watched our two dogs over the Christmas holiday and went “above and beyond” taking care of them, as our puppy is a huge handful and our ten year old got sick and was struggling to eat food and water. Maliya kept in regular contact with us, updating us on her status and trying different ways to feed her and give her water. Would definitely recommend Maliya and would rebook her again. Thanks Maliya!!”
“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!”
“Luliia did a great job. She was only with Kona for a few hours but sent us lots of pictures from her walk and rest time. Luliia was very responsive to all communication prior to booking. We look forward to using her services again!!”
“Jaci was a perfect match for my dogs. One of my pups needed extra TLC and Jaci handled the situation calmly and eased my nerves. Would absolutely book with her again.”
“Caitlin was wonderful watching my dogs this past weekend. This is my first experience with Rover. She was highly responsive with communication. She came over to my house in advance to meet the dogs in order to ensure a smooth transition, especially given my dogs protective nature. She also walked me through the process and expectations, not having used Rover previously. My dogs took well to her and that was most important! I would absolutely book with her again.”
“Penny was great. She really listened during our meet and greet. The dogs (1 senior cocker spaniel and 1 middle aged active beagle) really seemed to love her. We came home to happy dogs and a well cared for house.”
“Paige did a great job taking care of my somewhat shy pup and had great communication with me while I was away. Would definitely suggest her to others looking for someone to care for their furry friends ☺️”

Maliya is fantastic! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. She gave Lucy so much love and attention, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Maliya was always responsive, communicative, and incredibly helpful throughout our trip. She also took great care of our home and left it spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!
We just got back from a weeklong trip & Bri watched my 3 year old Basset Hound. I CAN NOT say enough wonderful things about her. Butters is a neurotic, difficult dog and she was MAGIC! Her communication was top notch. So many pictures and videos all week (which we loved). Our house was in better shape than when we left. Can not recommend enough!
Meghan took such great care of our dog! We could tell he was well loved while we were gone. Meghan went above and beyond - she left the house very tidy after her stay and did a great job administering additional, unexpected meds. She was very responsive and sent updates regularly. We are looking forward to our next stay!
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.
Katherine was great! She is energetic and bubbly...an perfect match of my energetic 1.5 year old Shi-poo. She took her on two walks a day to get all the energy expended. Everything went so smoothly which put my mind at ease when I was traveling. I would highly recommend her and will be booking her in the future.
Mary is a warm, kind and friendly person and was an excellent dog sitter for our two frenchies! She gave them lots of love and they were definitely well cared for during our weekend away. She was a great communicator, and the house was in perfect shape when we returned. We'd love to have Mary 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 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 3,413 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
