“Elizabeth went above and beyond to take care of our pup and our home during her stay. She provided multiple updates and photos throughout the day and kept our dog safe and happy while we were away. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Kristen was a wonderful house/dog sitter. She communicated, sent pictures, followed all the directions and we came back to a very happy dog and clean house! Highly recommend her for future adventures.”
“Penny was great. She really listened during our meet and greet. The dogs (1 senior cocker spaniel and 1 middle aged active beagle) really seemed to love her. We came home to happy dogs and a well cared for house.”
“We loved having Ava watch Oliver. She sent us updates and pictures that put us at ease while we were away. We came home to a happy puppy and could tell he was well cared for.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Gretchen was great! She was able to come back from a vaca and straight to my house to watch my four dogs at the last minute. She left everything in my home in wonderful shape, and the dogs were great when I returned. I would use Gretchen again!”
“Chioma took good care of our dogs. The two dogs were rescued a few months ago from a puppy mill, and have special needs due to how they had been treated. Chioma understood their needs, and upon our return, the dogs were thriving even more than before we left. The house was clean and everything in order. Thank you Chioma!”
“Christina was very responsive and helpful during her statue with my dog. I received updates throughout the day and, when I was a bit late in returning, she stayed until I got back. I really appreciated it.”
“Carolyn was a great dog sitter for our puppy! She was genuinely excited to spend the evening playing with her and took tons or photos and was super communicative with updates on how our puppy was doing. Our pup got lots of attention, play, and snuggles with Carolyn and slept like a baby after a fun filled day.”
“We had a great experience with our reactive dog and nervous kitty! Iuliia came over for a meet and greet a few days prior to our trip and I was surprised at how quickly both pets took to her. She took great care of them and our home during her stay and sent us daily updates as requested. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“So many pictures and a very happy kitty :) Ciboney even took the time to wash our sheets before we came back home since we booked house sitting. Will definitely book again!”
“Sergio was a fantastic dog sitter for our 2 pups! He was communicative, nice and left our house spotless! We were so thankful to have him over the Thanksgiving holiday. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter to love on your pets. We would use his services again in a heartbeat.”
“Melissa was amazing with my dog, Maple! She kept me updated with daily pictures and summaries of their adventures. She also took great care of my house. I look forward to having her house sit again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Falcon Heights
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.
Arrin helped us out when we were in a pinch. We unexpectedly were going to be out of town and didn’t have someone lined up to take care of our dog, Lucca. She agreed to house sit for us on very short notice and I’m so happy that it was her who ended watching our pooch. She fed him, gave him walks, and cuddled him so he wouldn’t be so alone and she did it with a lot of love and kindness. She sent updates and pictures throughout the day and we weren’t worried at all with our house and dog in her hands. She even grabbed our mail for us! She was also very quick to respond. I highly recommend her for anyone needing someone to watch their pets.
Ariana has provided excellent care for our two older dogs. They are relaxed and secure upon our return because their usual routines have been supported. Ariana is great with communication and maintains a positive outlook even when there are challenges to getting the dogs out such as hot or rainy weather. We have booked Ariana twice and would do so again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Falcon Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Falcon Heights on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,507 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.

- 98% 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.
