We did a meet and great as was recommended. He is SUCH a nice guy! When we returned home, it was so spotless that we couldn’t figure out where he slept. We will definitely rebook Sergio in the future.”
About: *PLEASE READ* 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 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/potty schedules, accident cleanup, play, and rest! I love taking dogs out for walks and playing with toys! I am able to care for multiple dogs and will give them all of the love and attention that they deserve! Please do not hesitate to message me with any questions! 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.
“Cristina was a wonderful house/dog sitter. She sent us pictures daily and kept us apprised of what Kona was doing. The house was spotless when we returned. We would definitely use Cristina again!”
“This is my second house sitting with Ashton and she always does an amazing job! I have senior pets with special needs and I always know they are in loving hands. She leaves my home perfectly tidy. I can't recommend Ashton enough!!!”
“We hired Iluliia for our senior dog and our daughter’s high energy dog for a four day trip. The dogs each have different personalities and needs, which Iluliia handled with ease. She followed my daughter’s specific nutrition routine for her dog, which involved raw food and supplements. Iluliia understood our senior dogs needs for reassurance and extra attention. Iluliia provided excellent communication and a number of photos and videos. Our home was spotless upon return and she surprised us with a beautiful bouquet of my favorite flowers! We will definitely hire her again for our next trip!”

“Ciboney was great with our medically complex dog and our super shy cat! She stayed in our house and left it clean and orderly, went above and beyond connecting with my cat and making him less scared, and had no problem pilling my dog twice a day. Definitely worth her rate, and I wouldn't think twice rebooking with her.”
“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!”
“Rachel did a great job housesitting for our two kitties who are a bit demanding. She took care of our mail, trash, packages, and other people coming and going from our home while we were gone. Highly recommend hiring her if you want peace of mind while on your vacation. Will use her again for upcoming trips.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Falcon Heights
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.
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!
Eleanor was fantastic. She took excellent care of our dog Susie, taking her on several half hour walks, had great communication with us, and left the house perfect. We had peace of mind that our home and pet were in good hands, which let us relax and enjoy our time away. Overall, excellent experience having Eleanor take care of our Susie and our home.
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.
Sarah was awesome! My dog can be a pretty anxious guy and he warmed up to her immediately. I appreciated that she provided frequent updates on how it was going and pictures. It made it a lot easier to be away from him knowing things were going well! I would definitely recommend her!
Lauren house sat my 15-year old cat, Piper, for two weeks and was excellent! Piper is very selective with her affection, but she warmed up to Lauren quickly and was very comfortable with her throughout the stay. Lauren sent detailed daily updates, and it was so reassuring to know things were going well! It was also incredibly helpful to have someone who understands senior cats and their health watching Piper.

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.
<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 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 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.
