“Our boy Hagrid absolutely adored Andy! She took amazing care of him and our home, and sent plenty of pictures while we were away. Highly recommend and would definitely book again for future trips!”

“I am so happy to have connected with Isabelle on Rover! I've had some questionable sitters before and I'm so relieved to have found a reliable person with great communication! Will definitely be booking again. 🐾”
“Hannah took wonderful care of our dogs! She made being away from home so much less stressful by sending daily updates and pictures. The dogs had a great time with her and she was an exceptional house guest during her stay. I can't recommend her enough, thank you Hannah!”
“Brittney did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs overnight. She came to our place for a meet & greet, and they took to her right away. She shared pictures while we were gone that we really appreciated. Thank you, Brittney!”
About: I was lucky to grow up in a dog-loving family. We had an high-energy English setter named Cooper growing up, and my parents currently have a sweet golden retriever Bodie who is 11. They also had another golden Louie who we lost unexpectedly this past summer ❤️🩹 We miss him a ton. I lived with my parents and helped raise Bodie and Louie and now have a 6-month old golden of my own Sonny! (Can you tell we love a golden retriever?) Our pups have given me great experience caring for high energy dogs as well as calm ones. As a dog walker I will make sure your pup gets exercise and is taken care of when we get back home. Nothing is more important to me than making sure your fur babies get the love and care they deserve. I also have had experience house and dog sitting for families when they are on vacation. I will make sure your pets have ample time to roam around, as well as guarantee that your home is clean and taken care of when you are out of town on weekends. I currently work full time remotely, so I am available early mornings, lunch, or evenings and weekends. Depending on the circumstances I do have some flexibility to stop by and check on your pet midday. I live in a two-story twin home with a good amount of living space for your pet to roam around, yet is still contained for their safety. I have a fenced in backyard and live in an area with great, safe walking trails! Along with that, I also have a 6-month old golden retriever puppy who loves to play with other dogs!
“Nikki was fabulous with our pups, they seemed to have a great time together! They both settled in with her pretty quickly and she was great at giving us updates when Maverick got his meds.”
“We couldn't have asked for a more loving, responsible individual for Opie. Emma provided overnight house sitting and care for our boy and our home. We were incredibly grateful to have found her and will definitely ask her again when we need a companion and sitter.”
“Brooke was stellar in her communication! I was getting pics and descriptions of what my dogs were up to. Let me know when they ate, how they did on their walks, and how much she enjoyed them. I would highly recommend Brooke for any of your pups' needs!!”
“Skai did a fabulous job taking care of our toy poodle for 4 days. We did a meet and greet with her and our dog immediately warmed right up to her. Skai was warm and caring and a fabulous communicator sending us updates and photos daily. We arrived home to a happy dog and a very clean house. You wouldn't have even known she was here. I highly recommend Skai and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Paige did a great job of keeping me updated on my fur baby while I was working all day. She made me feel at ease when she sent me lots of photos and kept giving me updates! Thank you!”
“Nancy is awesome! She tended to my pup like it was her own. She provided plenty of love and attention including daily walks, playtime and cuddles. She kept me updated with daily pics and texts, and left our house in pristine condition. She's a keeper!”
About: I’ve grown up with and loved dogs my whole life! Most of my experience has been with larger dogs, but I’ve also cared for plenty of smaller dogs through friends. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including dogs needing medication or a little extra attention. I’m comfortable with all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’ll make sure they’re happy and healthy while you’re away! I have a consistent Tuesday-Saturday work schedule with Sundays and Mondays off. I’m available for pet care before and after work and have full availability on my days off! Your pet’s safety and comfort is number 1! So I’ll follow your instructions and normal routine as closely as possible including meals, walks, medications, and any special care they need! I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Eden Prairie
Michelle stayed with our 2 miniature Dachshunds for the first time this past weekend and I couldn't have felt more comfortable. She sent many photos and updates throughout her stay and I could see how relaxed our dogs were. She definitely has a generous amount of love to give to your pets.
This is the second time that Lindsay has helped us with our Buddy while we were out of town - she is definitely on our "Favorites" list! We were able to enjoy our time away knowing that Buddy was well taken care of! We got pics along the way, Buddy was happy, and the house was in good order when we returned. Buddy even got a little Puppy-Spa session with the blow dryer after a rainy, wet walk - he LOOOVES a nice blow dry / massage after a rainy walk!! :-) Thanks again, Lindsay!
Stephanie stayed in our home and cared for our dog for two weeks while we traveled internationally. During the time we were gone we received regular updates, including pictures, which meant a lot when traveling for so long. When we got home we found a freshly cleaned house and a very happy dog, with some new enrichment activity toys thanks to Stephanie. I can highly recommend Stephanie as a house/ dog sitter. She is very skilled, and deeply cares for animals. We will definitely book with her again.
Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our rescue pups! Brittney is one of a kind - truly so patient and amazing with dogs. It’s evident she knows how to handle all different personalities as we have one very anxious dog who does not warm to people easily. Brittney won our dog over in just one day and we felt at peace while we were away. She was very communicative and we got lots of fun pictures! We will absolutely be using Brittney again ☺️
We hired Nicole to watch our two pups while we were out of town for our daughter’s wedding. Nicole was very communicative and reliable. On the wedding day, I didn’t have to worry about my pups because I knew they were in great hands. When we returned home, they were happy and healthy. We will definitely use her services again!
All of our normal dogsitters were busy for our vacation, so I booked Grace on Rover.com, even though I didn't know her at all. She stayed with our two dogs for 4 nights -- and she was wonderful! Lots of updates, photos, and very communicative about everything! She also did a lot of "extra" things around the house like watering our potted flowers/garden and picking up our mail and packages, which we really, really appreciated! I would absolutely hire her again -- she's super responsible and will take great care of your pets!
Camille is THE BEST! Our cats require extra attention and Camille went above and beyond to provide them with so much attention and quality care. As a nervous cat mama, I really appreciated Camille's many updates and extraordinary thoughtfulness. We came back to a perfectly clean and quiet house and I could tell that the cats were well cared for...even my grumpy Russian Blue who isn't always the most welcoming to sitters seemed content. I will definitely be asking Camille to take care of the kitties again.
Megan was an amazing sitter. We both met before the actual start of care and I loved her. I reached out last minute for a travel plan and she met all my expectations in my home. In my opinion, SHE IS THE BEST and will care for your pet like you do. I will definitely be booking her again!! 🐾❤️🐾
Hannah took wonderful care of our dogs! She made being away from home so much less stressful by sending daily updates and pictures. The dogs had a great time with her and she was an exceptional house guest during her stay. I can't recommend her enough, thank you Hannah!

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 Eden Prairie 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 Eden Prairie 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 Eden Prairie 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
