“We’ve used Brooke several times and can’t recommend her enough! We have 2 dogs and 2 cats and she is great with each of them. The animals love her and we love knowing that they are well cared for while we’re away.”
“Grace was great. A sitter I had lined up had an emergency, so I had to find someone the day care was supposed to begin. Grace stepped in never meeting Wally, learned as much about him as she could beforehand, and seemed to do great. She played with him, kept me updated on his feeding, and left the house in good condition. Can't thank Grace enough, especially for stepping into a rushed situation like that.”
“Lilah is my go to house/dog sitter when I’m out of town! My two dogs are so well cared for, she communicates frequently, and even sends little check in photos!! So happy with Lilah’s care!”
“Alyssa was very communicative. I loved that I didn't even need to ask for any update, but she just sent me everything that she thought I would like to know. I got lots of picture updates, and just sweet comments about what was going on. I really like Alyssa's disposition and I think that she is a fantastic match for my dog. when I got home, the house was clean, my dog was happy, and everything was in perfect order. Alyssa is truly the best of the best. I honestly can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Olga and Natalia are absolutely wonderful. We have booked them multiple times for house-sitting with our dog, and we don’t have to worry about anything while we are on vacation. Our dog loves them and is happy and comfortable when we return home.”
“Katy did great with Kirby and she sent us updates while staying at our house, which we appreciated. We got lots of pictures which was very reassuring too. We would definitely book Katy for future stays and I think Kirby would be happy to see her again!”
“Piper received such good care with Tatiana- she got walked, fed, loved and trained to help learn “quiet”. I felt very comfortable leaving Piper with Tatiana knowing how attentive she would be throughout her stay!”
“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!”
“Sarah has always been great with our anxious pit-mix. Every time she is available to house/pet-sit our anxiety goes down as well because we know our pets are in good hands.”
“Natalie was great! Excellent communication and pet updates, left the place spotless, and my cats seemed quite happy upon my return. Definitely recommend!”
“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!”
“Forrest had an amazing time with Madison! Madison took excellent care of my dog during their week-long stay. Daily updates and photos kept me informed, and Madison was proactive in sharing important details. Highly recommended!”
“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.”

About: Chefs Kiss Care is named after my best boy. The one that taught me so much about training, dogs and myself. I’m a passionate dog trainer with over four years of professional experience at one of the currently top rated and award winning doggie day cares, boarding and training facility! My passion has taken me through professional boarding facilities, where I’ve learned the ins and outs of doggy behavior from playful pups, ones that are a little more on the spicy side, to the more reserved ones. what I truly love is helping them thrive. Every dog I meet is treated like family, showered with love, playtime, and plenty of belly rubs! I will happily collaborate with you to create a perfect care plan including enrichment, walks, play time, brain games ect. I have been successfully training dogs for 11 years with the past 4 being in a professional setting. I’m all about clarity, transparency and open communication. I work full time as a dog trainer but I always make time to train and work my own dogs as well as being able to care for others pets. We can discuss your ideal schedule and figure out together the perfect plan. I’m available most evenings and weekends. I have a fully fenced yard, long lines and a couple favorite parks! I will always be transparent with pet parents about expectations with their pets. What I would do with a senior pup is different than a young dog. I’m happy to provide my companionship and love for dogs who would rather snuggle and just be around people or play lots of fetch and do lots of brain games for dogs who need that. Usually it’s a mix between the two, some play, lots of love.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Edina
"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!
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!
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.

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.

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.
