“Taylor was amazing in her care for Lottie. She carefully listened to Lottie‘s needs, and then paid a lot of attention to the most helpful ways of watching and caring for her. Would definitely hire her again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Chioma was great- my dog can be a little wary of new people but Chioma was very patient and sent a lot of nice photos during her stay and took him on nice walks (in the heat!). My cat is also not the most friendly but Chioma charmed him, too. Thank you!!”
“Beth was really communicative and made us feel very comfortable leaving our greyhound and cat with her over a long weekend. She sent lots of cute update pictures and left our house very clean. She even turned on relaxing dog YouTube for our pup while he waited for us to return!”

I am excellent with pets of all kinds as well as children. I am outgoing, responsible and fun. It is important to Note I do take a lot of dog photos but I don’t have one many good quality of me and the dogs. So you’ll see bunch of dogs with no me in them.

“This was the first time I’d booked a house sitter to look after my anxious cat while on vacation. Nicole was so communicative and sent pictures every day as I requested. I came home to a spotless apartment and a very happy, relaxed cat! I’d rebook with her in a heartbeat. Thanks Nicole!”
“Gabriel took such great care of our pets and our home while we were away. He is a great communicator and sent pictures each day, which we loved. He read and followed the instructions we left and when we arrived home our pets seemed very happy. We will definitely use Gabriel again!”
“Amber was wonderful and took very good care of our dogs. One had a small injury that happened the day before she started watching them and she was amazing about rolling with that punch.”
“Had an amazing experience with Maria watching my boy during a work trip. She was extremely communicative, giving frequent pictures and updates during their time together. I also appreciated that she wanted to meet Georgie first and make sure that she really understood his routine. She would communicate information that I gave her back to me ensuring I knew she understood. Georgie loved her too and I could tell he was comfortable. Overall I really appreciated how she made me feel certain my boy was in good hands and allowed me to focus on my trip and not worry at all! The apartment was also nice and clean when I got back which was such a nice touch and appreciated after traveling. 10/10 recommend and will absolutely be using her again for my work trips 😊 Thank you, Maria!”

About: As a University of Minnesota veterinary student and pet owner, I bring a strong background in animal health, behavior, and handling. I’m attentive to senior pets, special care needs, and each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet is a couch potato or a professional troublemaker, I’ll provide reliable, personalized care--with plenty of updates and photos! As a full-time 3rd year veterinary student at the University of Minnesota, caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life! I’m available for early morning, evening, and weekend walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays, with additional flexibility between classes. I enjoy staying active, so whether your dog prefers a leisurely stroll or a longer, energetic walk, I’m happy to accommodate! I also don’t mind bringing my study materials along for overnight stays--your pet gets company, and I get a study buddy who won’t judge my grades! As a veterinary student, your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I follow their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and plenty of playtime. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, whether they’re full of energy or prefer to supervise from the couch. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep you updated with photos, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention. My goal is simple: happy pets, happy owners, and hopefully a five-star review from your toughest four-legged critic!
“Beth was very dependable - she arrived on time and followed the info I provided about my dog’s care. She also sent me updates on how my dog was doing with his walks, bedtime, and what he ate. I appreciated Beth’s clear communication!”
“Lacie is a great house and dog sitter! She is flexible and communicative with me, and very attentive to my dog’s needs. I recommend her and would hire her again.”
“Liz is fantastic and I am so grateful for her. It was our first time with her and I am so happy I found her. She house sat for us and took care of our two kitties. I felt very comfortable having her in my home. She kept us continually posted on our cats and how they were doing, which meant so much to us. We already hired her again for another job later in the month. She is absolutely the best. Thank you so much, Liz. You’re awesome. Ginger”
“Ricarda and her Great Dane Nala were wonderful house guests. Huxley and Nala got along great and it was nice to know he had a furry buddy to keep him company while we were away. Ricarda was very easy to communicate with and gave us regular updates. I appreciated that she did a meet and greet prior to booking as well as a phone call to review everything prior to my husband and I going out of town. Our house was exactly as we left it and our boy was in good hands while we were away. We would definitely recommend Ricarda for dog and/or house sitting and will be booking her again in the future. Thank you, Ricarda!”
“Christine is a great caregiver! My dog & cats were given excellent care. She stayed a week and kept in touch so I knew how they were all doing. I came home to very happy, relaxed pets because Christine was so good to them. She fed, walked, administered medication and even cleaned up after them.”

Sarah was really wonderful to work with! She took great care of my older (and sometimes grouchy with strangers) kitty. My house was nice and tidy when I returned. Her communication was excellent. I felt at ease leaving my cat in her care and will happily book again!
Mauren took great care of our pup and home, as always. She clearly loves animals, and is kind and conscientious with their owners too! She kept us up to date on everything and sent along plenty of fun photos and videos (a real plus for our kids). We came home to a happy dog and a clean and tidy home. We would recommend her to anyone.
Jeremiah was a fantastic dog and house sitter! He has such calm energy and our dog seemed comfortable with him right away during the meet & greet. Jeremiah sent videos and photos during his stay and left the house spotless. We wouldn't hesitate to book him again in the future. Highly recommend!
Fabulous!!! Brooke clearly has an ease with animals. My cat went right to her the moment she arrived for a meet and greet. My cat fell in love. Prior to meeting Brooke, I was very anxious about leaving my house and my beloved cat with a stranger, but after our meet and greet, all my fears were washed away. Brooke left frequent messages and pictures about her time with my cat. I feel so very lucky that Brooke was the one who cared for my cat. Excellent!!
Ally is a fantastic dog/house-sitter. She took wonderful care of my dog. He looked better when I came back than when I left! She sent me many pictures and updates. She is polite and personable. And she did some extras, like cleaning up the house and even weeding my garden. Truly, she is a gem.
Katie was awesome and it was one of the best dog-sitting experiences we’ve had. We have a senior dog who prefers to stay in our home when we need to be away. Katie was communicative and sent regular updates and photos, took great care of our dog, and left the house just as she found it. When we returned home, our dog was happy and comfortable - not anxious and stressed as she’s been at other times when we’ve returned. We couldn’t be happier with Katie and would use her again without hesitation. Thank you, Katie!
Gretchen was great! My two cats loved her and she did a fantastic job taking care of them. She sent pictures and videos so I wouldn't miss my fur babies too much. The house was spotless when I returned. She definitely went above and beyond. I'll definitely rebook with her again.
Billie was so sweet and great to work with. She communicated often with cute updates on my pups and I could tell they were happy in all the pics, enjoying their time with her. One of my dogs needs meds every 12 hours and Billie even let me know she’d administered it. Highly recommend and know the pups will be happy to see her again when I have future travels.

The average cost of House Sitting in Falcon Heights is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $72 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 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 , 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.
