“Brooke is all that you could possibly ask for and more from someone caring for your pet. We were thrilled with the attention and love she gave our pup and it was clear she immediately made him comfortable. Best Rover experience ever.”
“Cassidy is the best! She stayed with our pets for 5 nights and all went so well. She walked Honey, gave our cat her meds and kept us updated as needed. We’re so grateful for her help!”
“Grace did a wonderful job house-sitting and watching our dog Angus for a week. She was very patient when meeting Angus at first, as he can be shy with strangers, but he warmed up to her quickly and enjoyed a week of walks and pets! She communicated well and sent pictures of their days. Thank you, Grace!”
“Shayna was amazing with our 4 year old boy Aspen! It was a last minute booking request and it was actually at a hotel as we are travelling for a wedding! Aspen loved her, she was awesome with send photos and videos! Thanks Shayna, would 10/10 book again when we’re back in town!!”
“Luliia was extremely professional, communicative, and friendly. We felt that our pups were in great hands while we were away for a week. The house was in beautiful shape when we arrived home, and she followed all of our instructions for care of the two dogs. we will definitely use her for all of our future bookings!”
“I definitely will be using Catarina again for any future bookings I need for Penny! She was caring, patient, and understanding with Penny. My dog tends to have behaviors and Catarina did such an amazing job communicating with me and giving me helpful tips! Thank you so much for treating Penny like she was your own!”
“If I could give Justine more than 5 stars I would!! Justine does such an amazing job with my dog, Kirby! She kept me updated on how everything was going and was extremely attentive to Kirby and spoiled him as much if not more than I do!”
“Kristen is a wonderful house/cat sitter. My fearful, senior cat warmed up to her and was happy while we were gone. She took great care of him as well as our house and my bird feeders. I will be happy to have her come back.”
“Sophia house sat for 3 days (two nights) for our mini-goldendoodle and our cat. We couldn't have been happier. She sent updates and photos every day. She is #1 on our list for our next trip!”
“Dani was great with our two dogs. One has a lot of fear of just about everything. Dani navigated her fear very well, she kept her comfortable and secure and made sure she got her morning meds. Dottie even hung out with her which is a bit of a miracle! Kiera loved her and claimed her as her own. Dani is very reliable and responsive and a good communicator and sent updates and some fun photos. I was nervous about leaving the pups, but would leave them Dani again in a heartbeat. I just wish she were more available!!!! Dogs had great care, communication was clear and the house was clean! Wish she could move in with us. haha! Thank you Dani!!”
“Spencer is a fantastic dogsitter! My greyhound can be a little skeptical of new people, so Spencer came to visit before my trip. He was very communicative the whole time, sending photos and updates to put me at ease. Very sweet and easy to work with. 100% recommend to others!”
About: Cats have been part of my life for more than 25 years. I grew up with them, and for over a decade I’ve been the go-to cat sitter for family and friends. That experience has taught me that every cat is different, and that great care means meeting each one where they are. I’ve cared for just about every kind of cat: short-haired and long-haired, tiny kittens and senior cats, high-energy explorers and shy, anxious hiders. With playful cats, I make sure they get plenty of stimulation and attention. With nervous or timid cats, I take things slow, give them space, and let them warm up on their own terms. Seniors get the gentle patience they deserve. I’m also comfortable caring for cats with special needs, including those on medication. I’ll follow your instructions and schedule carefully so your cat’s routine stays consistent while you’re away. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your kitty is doing. My goal is simple: your cat stays happy, healthy, and comfortable, and you get real peace of mind. I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available for drop-in visits anytime from early morning to evening, including weekends and holidays. Visits can be 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your cat’s needs. I’m also happy to do more than one visit a day if needed. Establishing trust with your furry loved one is my # 1 priority. I will follow your instructions for initiating initial contact with your pet and then work to make them feel comfortable and safe while I take care of their needs.
“Brandon was on time, polite, and our dogs were calm and happy when we returned. During our trip, Brandon texted us pictures of our cat and dogs lounging around the house and walking with him through the neighborhood.”
About: I'm a life-long animal lover with short term experience pet sitting looking to make it long term experience. Whether your animal needs high energy play or cuddling and companionship, I treat every pet with the same love and care I would give my own. I'm pretty flexible right now and do not have anything consistently stopping me from pet sitting or walking. I figure I will most likely be part-timing with animal care. I can walk your dogs, play with them inside and outside, feed, potty, and even do a little bit of word training if you're interested (teaching things like sit, lay down, up, paw..but nothing super fancy). I love playing with kitties as well and can even take them on walks if you do that with them! Aside from any of those basic services I am always down to cuddle and love the animals as they need.
“Susan was wonderful—extremely attentive to details. She sent me daily updates that made my day, and—most of all—my cat adored her. I know this because she still sniffs around for her… in fact the other day I caught my cat laying on a towel that I’d left out for Susan to use while I was away. So, I’m pretty sure that if you hire Susan the only unintended effect of her stellar care is that your cat will end up loving her more than you. For the peace of mind of a caring cat sitter, I’ll take it!”
“Rachel is great to work with! She took great care of our old lady Sadie while we went out of town, and sent lots of photos to help me feel at ease while away. We will definitely work with her again!”
About: Eight years ago, I had the privilege of finding my soul dog, who taught me just how beautiful and meaningful the bond between humans and animals can be. Learning to understand her unique personality, nonverbal communication, and individual needs deepened my patience, empathy, and intentionality in caring for animals. My sweet girl sadly passed away in November 2025, but the love and lessons she gave me continue to shape how I connect with animals today. I find so much joy in getting to know each animal as an individual, building trust, respecting their boundaries, and providing loving, attentive care that meets their unique needs. I currently share my home with two cats, and our household regularly welcomes dogs we're caring for. I also have experience house-sitting for friends and family, allowing their pets to remain comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their routines as closely as possible. I believe animals communicate so much when we take the time to listen and observe. Whether your pet is playful and outgoing or shy and needs a little extra patience, my priority is to help them feel safe, respected, loved, and understood while you're away. I'm currently self-employed, which allows me plenty of flexibility throughout the week to accommodate your pet's needs and routines! I'm available for drop-in visits, house sitting, and daily walks, including weekdays and weekends. I enjoy incorporating time with animals into my daily routine and am happy to coordinate schedules to ensure your pets receive consistent, attentive, and loving care. Whether it's a quick check-in, a long walk, or overnight companionship, I'm committed to making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. Creating a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment is my priority. My home has a fenced yard and two cats who are accustomed to dogs, though I prefer a meet-and-greet before confirming stays to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I can also accommodate crate-trained dogs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I respect their individual needs, boundaries, and routines, providing patient, attentive care so they feel safe, loved, and understood while you're away.
“Wow, thanks to Gabriel, we were comfortable going somewhere overnight. We feel blessed to have had the excellent care of our elderly and anxious Aussie. Thank you so very much!”

Kristie took good care of my cat and senior dog while I was away. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my pets’ well-being. I appreciated her updates and the attention she gave to both of their individual needs, especially my senior dog. I was comfortable, knowing my pets were in good hands and would happily book with her again.
Grace did a wonderful job house-sitting and watching our dog Angus for a week. She was very patient when meeting Angus at first, as he can be shy with strangers, but he warmed up to her quickly and enjoyed a week of walks and pets! She communicated well and sent pictures of their days. Thank you, Grace!
Chuck did a fantastic job taking care of our dog! He was very loving and attentive with her. She is an older dog who requires medication throughout the day. Our dog had either a stroke or a sudden neurological condition called Vestibular disease late at night. He reached out to us immediately and took her to the ER. He got all the pertinent information to the animal hospital including her medications. We are very grateful that he was so quick to respond to such a threatening situation. Our dog is recovering which is all we can ask for. Thank you Chuck!
Christian took care of my cat while I was out of town for a few days. He did a great job, communicated and sent pics which is reassuring when leaving a pet and house with a new person. The house looked great and Daisy seemed happy when I got home. Would definitely use him again!
McKenna was absolutely amazing for our dog Groovy! She provided us with updates multiple times a day and made us feel comfortable leaving our furry friend as we traveled to Europe! We felt so comfortable knowing she was taking care of her and we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation. I would have her watch our dog again in a heartbeat.
Rachel is our #1 dog sitter! She takes wonderful care of our high energy husky and always leaves our house in great condition when we return. I always know our pup and home are in great hands with her when we travel. We’ll certainly be reaching out again when the time comes. Thanks again for everything!

The average cost of House Sitting in Edina is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $78 per night.

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 Edina 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 Edina 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 Edina 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.
