“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!!”
“Elizabeth was a wonderful pet and house sitter for us and would heartily recommend her to others. She was great with our elderly cat, who was happy and calm upon our return. She had clear, frequent, and professional communication that helped us enjoy our time away, knowing all was well at home.”
“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!”
“Summer was so great from meet-and-greet through the stay with my two pups. I appreciated the prompt communication and could see my dogs had a great time while I was away. Thank you!”
“Julia was absolutely wonderful in caring for our dog, Lucy. Our house was spotless and she made us feel super comfortable in leaving Lucy. She provided pictures and updates. We came home and while our dog was happy to see us, she also had a calmness to her that made us know she was well cared for while we were gone. Thank you, Julia!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Did a wonderful job with our senior dog who needs quite a bit of assistance with meds and mobility. Very responsive and kept us updated all weekend. Definitely recommend!”
“Rachel did a wonderful job looking after our 2 Huskies while we were out of town. There was never a worry and she gave us daily pictures and small updates as to how things were going and what our dogs were up to. Our pups were very happy and fulfilled when we got back. She also was great about making sure our senior dog received her medication daily. Our house was also left in fantastic condition, making returning home very comfortable. Would certainly book Rachel again, thank you!”
“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.”
“As always, Maggie was such a huge help to us when we were out of town for multiple days. She takes great care of our two dogs (they are large senior dogs and require a lot of attention, medications, etc.). She is also a wonderful guest in our home while house sitting. So conscientious and helpful. We are so lucky to have met Maggie!”
“Kat was simply amazing with my two golden retrievers. She was incredibly communicative and arrived with great questions about my pets. She walked them and played with them and sent me cute videos and pictures. She also knitted cute bows for their collars:) I would 100% recommend Kat and I look forward to having her take care of Jack and Boldy again soon❤️”
“Kristen is truly a phenomenal pet sitter and all-around wonderful person! She took care of our dog, cat, and fish for nearly two weeks while we were on vacation—and went above and beyond by also tending to our home and garden. We’ve entrusted our pets to Kristen for several years now, and every time we leave, we can rest easy knowing they’re in her incredibly capable and caring hands. She’s responsible, communicative, and genuinely kind to our animals. We feel so lucky to have found her!”
“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!!”

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!
"We cannot recommend Christian highly enough! We recently went on a two-week vacation and were naturally a bit anxious about leaving our 12-year-old Great Dane, Humphrey. Given his size and his age-related mobility issues, Humphrey requires extra care, patience, and attention. Christian stepped up and handled everything perfectly. The absolute highlight of our days away was receiving the daily videos Christian sent us—it gave us complete peace of mind seeing our big guy so comfortable and well taken care of. If you need a trustworthy, compassionate sitter, especially for a senior dog, Christian is fantastic."
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!

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.
<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 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 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.
