“Gretchen went way beyond the call of duty for our family. One of our pets stopped eating and needed to go to the vet. She dropped everything and took her in when I made the appointment with an hours notice. I was very impressed. She fed this animal by syringe until she started eating again. I am not sure many people would be able to do that. My house was cleaner when I got home than when we left. We received daily pictures of our animals which was very comforting while away. I am so appreciative we found Gretchen and hope she is able to watch our animals next time we are away. ”
“Penny was absolutely AMAZING and we are so very thankful for her help watching our babies (2 dachshunds). If you know anything about a dachshund, they are loving, needy and can be barky and particular about new friends. We had previously never left our dogs with anyone other than family, but needed to find a sitter while we were away for our wedding for a week with family. Penny blew it out of the park from the moment we did our meet and greet. She has such a warm and calm presence that our dogs instantly became comfortable around (which is no small feat when you’re meeting a dachshund!). She gave us twice daily updates while we were away with plenty of pictures that we were so happy to see. It was clear through her messages that our pups were getting plenty of love and engagement. We were quite worried about our finicky pups and Penny eased those worries and went above and beyond. We would 10/10 recommend Penny and look forward to using her pet watching services in the future 🙏💗 Thank you so much Penny!!! (From the dogs and us humans)”
“Libby house sat and took great care of Jaq over the weekend. She was attentive to his separation anxiety and needs, making sure he felt comfortable while I was away.”
“Kristin was wonderful with Florence, and us as nervous puppy owners leaving our girl with someone new for the first time. She sent photos and text updates throughout the evening to keep us posted. ❤️”
“Sarah was a wonderful sitter and took great care of all my babies. She was super communicative and very flexible when my plans changed a bit. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Olivia has proven herself to be a reliable, dedicated, and generally awesome caretaker for our finicky dogs and cat while we were away, allowing us to enjoy our trip without worrying about a thing! We hope she is available the next time we have to head out of town, as she will be our go-to for any check-ins or pet sitting. We would recommend her without hesitation!”
“We didn't know Julie beforehand except for doing a brief meet-and-greet, but she stayed at our house with our small dog for a long weekend when we were traveling, and did a great job. I always worry about my little pup who is very shy and attached to my wife and me, and has a hard time warming up to other people. She was shy and probably confused at first, since this was only the second time we left her for the weekend, but she clearly warmed up to Julie after the first day. Julie was great about promptly responding to our messages asking how things were going, and sending pictures and videos. She kept our house very clean and even took out the trash and washed our bedding before we got home. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Jay stayed in our house with Delta for 11 days, and it was the only reason we could enjoy our vacation. He made sure she was fed, active, and entertained. And he sent photos every day so we didn't have to wonder how things were going.”
“Rachel was amazing! She did a great job with our cats and dog. We unexpectedly needed a second overnight pet sitter, she was quick to respond to my request. Thankfully, it worked with her schedule. It was a relief to know someone familiar with our pets was able to care for them again.”
“Sergio took amazing care of our dog, Sunny, and our cat, Mack, while we were away for a week. He was reliable, communicative, and made sure both pets were well cared for and loved. We appreciated the updates and could tell our pets were happy and comfortable with him. Highly recommend Sergio to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional, and attentive pet sitter! Thank you Sergio!”
“Jessica was great! She took great care of our two dogs and communicated multiple times a day to let us know how things were going. We would definitely love to have her watch our dogs again!”
About: I grew up with dogs in my house from a very young age, and I now have a sheepadoodle of my own! I am very familiar with feeding schedules, potty and potty cleanup, play, and rest! I love taking dogs out for walks and playing fetch! I am able to care for multiple dogs and will give them all of the love and attention that they require! Please do not hesitate to message me with any questions! *It should be noted, if you are booking for house-sitting and looking to have me stay in your home, I would need to bring my dog with* I primarily work from home, so I am able to give your pets ample attention, walks, and potty breaks! I also have a dog of my own, so pet care is constantly on my mind! I care for other pets the same way I care for my own, with love and respect. I am able to follow any/all care instructions and will keep you updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures.
“Carolina provided above and beyond care and updates while watching Roxy while we were away for the weekend! Her interactions with our GSD and the updates she would provide made it easy for us to enjoy our time away but also have peace of mind that Roxy was getting the attention she needed. We think Carolina must be psychic, because whenever we were wondering what our Roxy was up to or just wanting to see her today, we’d get an update and some photos to get a peek at their day! Will definitely want to have Carolina help in the future and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a Rover whether it’s your first or have had a few.”
“Biiftuu was an excellent dog sitter. She clearly took good care of my little Aussie poo. She sent good pictures and left the house in excellent shape. I would hire her again.”
“Paige was great! We came home to a very happy kitty, and she was excellent about communication and sending photos/updates throughout the week. Would definitely recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Falcon Heights
Lauren was the first sitter I’ve utilized through Rover.com and I was very pleased. She stayed with my 6-year-old lab (Odin) for six days during which time she had to interface with construction crews, neighbors, and miscellaneous issues. Lauren responded immediately to all my communications which I appreciated. Odin seemed well taken care of during my absence. I’ll certainly engage her again.
Eleni is absolutely wonderful!!! She took such good care of my pup Pippin while I was away, and made sure I was updated throughout my trip with great pictures and videos. She was so easy to trust as a pet sitter and I knew that my home and more importantly my dog were in great hands with her. She took such care to get to know my dog, his needs, any quirks about him, etc. before even starting the sitting so I knew it would go smoothly. Don’t hesitate to book with Eleni - she’s the BEST!
This was our second time having Wendy pet sit for us, and once again she was wonderful. She is reliable, communicative, and takes great care of our pets. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands while we’re away. We would definitely recommend her and use her again.
Tony house/dog sat overnight with my 2 frenchies. We coordinated a plan ahead of time to also have him bring his dog to help socialize my frenchies. With his experience as a dog trainer I felt that I could trust him to take care of my dogs and socialize them at the same time. He came over for a meet/greet beforehand and was very pleasant. Will definitely book again.
Billie took great care of my dog! She was attentive and responsive to his needs. She took him on walks and helped to re-direct him when he tried to scratch off his gentle leader. She reassured him during fireworks. Billie provided clear and helpful updates throughout the weekend!
Another wonderful experience with Sarah! My dog and cat adore spending time with Sarah, and her daily updates and photos always make me smile. As usual, our home was left in excellent shape upon our return. Sarah also took wonderful care of my gardens while we were away! Sarah continues to be my first pick anytime our pets need love and care while I’m away. Thank you for another great experience, Sarah!
Ashton did such a wonderful job with my elderly and special needs pets! She took excellent care of them and I could enjoy my time away knowing that they were in loving hands. I got daily updates and quick communication. This was for house sitting and Ashton also treated my home with a lot of care and respect. Everything was neat and tidy. She even took the garbage out! I was very impressed. I can't recommend her enough! I look forward for my next trip in just a few weeks!
This was our first time using Rover for a house stay/pet sitting, so we were a bit nervous. It was obvious at our meet and greet that Sam was going to be great. She had great rapport with us and our animals, and did a great job taking care of everything. Our pup Rocco requires medication, which she administered and tracked, and we received updates according to our preferences. We came back to a clean house and happy, relaxed animals. Rocco misses her already!
Brooke is amazing! We have a reactive dog that needs a few introductions before feeling comfortable with new people. Brooke took extra time with us and our pup to ensure everyone was comfortable for an overnight stay on our wedding day. She has such compassion for animals and I can’t recommend her enough!

FAQs for House Sitting - Falcon Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Falcon Heights on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,533 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Falcon Heights. 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 Falcon Heights 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 Falcon Heights 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 Falcon Heights 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Falcon Heights. On Rover:
- 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.
