“Brooke house/dog sat for us for a 2 week vacation to Europe and I was so nervous to leave my baby for so long but Brooke made it so easy! She sent multiple updates with pictures EVERYday and I could tell she really enjoyed her time with Rosie. She even brought over some enrichment toys for her and she really enjoyed those. I travel for work and am sad that I can’t take Brooke with us everywhere we go! She was great and definitely recommend her!”
“Summer took great care of Toad through an unexpected illness and emergency vet visit. We were so thankful for her communication throughout and for her good care of our pup.”
“Elizabeth was great! My dog can be a bit of a diva but everything went well and River felt calm around her. I received updates and messages throughout and my house was left very clean!”
“Andy was amazing with Snipper! She took such great care of her and made sure she was happy and comfortable the entire time. It was clear that Andy spent a lot of time playing with Snipper and giving her plenty of attention, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing Snipper was in such good hands. I highly recommend Andy to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you so much, Andy!”
“Zach was great to work with! We had Zach stay at our house overnight with our dogs and it went great. No issues at all. Great communication and took an extra step to strip the guest bed at the end of the stay.”
“Robert was communicative, sent updates/photos throughout the day, and took great care of Pukka. Really appreciated his flexibility and attentiveness. Pukka seemed very happy and comfortable with him. Thank you again!”
“5 stars! Chuck was fantastic. His communication was clear and timely, and it was obvious he genuinely enjoyed spending time with my dogs. I came home to happy pups and a tidy house—exactly what you hope for with a sitter. I only have positive things to say about him and would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!”
“Samantha was amazing with our dog and she was comfortable right away during the meet and greet. While we were gone Samantha sent regular updates and photos. We were very comfortable that Momo was in good hands!”
“Julia was so good with our dog while we were away. We had a Rover have to cancel on us and Julia was able to come stay at our house on short notice. She is attentive and loving with our dog which he absolutely loves! In true Mn fashion, it snowed while we were away so Julia even shoveled for us as well as provided excellent care for our dog!”
“Laura was wonderful! She was very good with Ellie at the meet and greet, bringing a treat for her and giving her lots of pets. Laura very friendly and you could tell that she has a true love of animals. Laura walked Ellie, made sure she ate on time and administered her meds. She sent me daily updates with pictures to reassure me that Ellie was doing well. Ellie was happy and well cared for while we were gone. It was a big load off of my mind since we had to travel for a death in the family. We have only had Ellie a couple of months. She was a rescue, thus I did not want to have to board her. Laura was a lifesaver, and we will be using her again! Ellie and I thank Laura so much!”
“Our pups had the best reaction to meeting a new person ever. They felt her confidence and kindness. She always sent a pic and a note each day. Everything went great! She's the best.”
“Julia was so great with our blind, diabetic elder dog Buggs. She spent lots of time with him and kept him on a schedule with meds and sent me lots of updates and photos. She also helped water our trees and new flowers during the hot spell. She’s the best!!”
“I’d highly recommend Tatiana! She house-sat and cared for our dog and cat for a week while we were on vacation. She is very communicative and responsible. She sent lots of updates and photos throughout the week, and the animals seemed so happy. I also said she could bring her own dog, Barbossa along, and we did a meet and greet beforehand and the animals all got along well. We were happy for our dog to have a friend besides the cat! Overall we were very happy and we plan to use Tatiana again whenever we’re out of town!”
“Kim was a wonderful dog sitter for our 2 year old Bernadoodle while we were away for a week over spring break. She stopped by the house before our trip to meet us and get acclimated to the dog and environment. She was a great communicator leading up to and throughout the trip and overall very reliable. She'll be at the top of our wish list for future dog sitting needs!”
“Claire is absolutely wonderful. She was loving, attentive, and went the extra mile. Very communicative, left me daily reports, and took Pepper on some amazing adventures. She even took out the garbage, and I came home to an immaculate house! She's definitely a keeper.”
“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!”
“Carolyn treated my dog so well! She followed my notes to a T and ensured that she got lots of exercise and stimulation. She also provided frequent updates and photos. I can tell she cares deeply about animals, and I’m grateful she was able to watch my girl while I was out of town. I will definitely keep her in mind for future pet sitting needs!”

Christian has been taking care of our cats for several years, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He is incredibly reliable, communicates exceptionally well, and consistently goes above and beyond in every way. He genuinely loves our cats, pays attention to every detail, and is always proactive—whether it’s noticing our flowers need watering, keeping an eye on the house, or sending thoughtful updates and videos that give us complete peace of mind while we’re away. We never have to worry because we know our cats and home are in the best possible hands. Christian is truly one of those rare people who treats your pets as if they were his own, and we feel so fortunate to have found him.
Seth was a fantastic pet sitter. His communication was excellent and prompt, he sent great pics of the pets during our entire trip so I felt confident in their ongoing well-being, and he left the house in amazing shape. He even put up with the fact that our cats have an extremely annoying wake-everyone-up-at-5:00 AM habit ... his patience with our all of our pets' quirks and needs was exceptional. I will book him again!
Kayna was an amazing house sitter for my dog and made the whole process so stress free! She was attentive to my dog’s needs and sent pictures/updates throughout the weekend which really put my mind at ease while I was gone. She’s trustworthy, timely, and to top it all off she booked with me on such short notice when I was in a pinch, which I am SO grateful for. I would love to have her back again and 10/10 recommend her to anyone else!
This was our first time using Rover so we were a bit nervous but Katy was a great communicator and sent us tons of pics throughout the weekend, which we loved! Our dogs were well taken care of and Katy left our house nice and tidy. We’d definitely recommend her services!
We just returned from a trip to Europe and McKenna took care of our toy poodle, Ellie, for 10 days. This was our first time using McKenna and it was amazing. She sent us updates with photos and videos daily and we came home to a very happy dog. She also took care of our house and it looked like we had never left. We will definitely be using McKenna again.
Nejla did an outstanding job caring for our pets while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and sent regular updates and photos that gave us peace of mind throughout our trip. It was clear our pets were well cared for and received plenty of attention. We came home to happy pets and a house exactly as we left it. We would absolutely book with Nejla again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Kirsten is absolutely wonderful! She stayed with our goldendoodle and kitten for a week. She is lovely, kind and caring. She took great care of our animals, walked our dog and left our home spotless. I am so happy to have connected wirh her and we will absolutely, 100%, ask her to care for our animals again when we go out of town.

FAQs for House Sitting - Edina
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Edina on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,452 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Edina. 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 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 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
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
