“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!”
“Olivia did a wonderful job with Tessa and also communicated well with us while we were away House was left clean and nice . Most of all Tessa (our dog) loved her .”
“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!”
“Iuliia was a great dog and housesitter! She kept us updated on her arrival to our place, provided updates and pictures throughout our trip, and let us know when she left at the end of her stay. Our dog was safe, sound, and happy. And our home was exactly the way we left it.”
“Melissa was attentive with my pets, and they were very much at ease when I returned. She has a great deal of experience with animals, and she clearly enjoys being around critters of all kinds. She was a pleasure to talk with, and I wouldn’t hesitate to contact her again.”
“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!”
“Kristen did an amazing job watching our cat that loves lots of attention. She sent lots of updates and made us feel so comfort knowing our cat was being well cared for (and our house)! Would not hesitate to hire again if available!”
“My animals (2 dogs and a crabby cat) loved Carolyn. In fact she came over a few days after I returned and the were so excited to see her. They definitely got a lot of attention. She sent lots of pictures which I really appreciated and communicated everyday on how their day was going. I appreciated her taking good care of my fur babies.”
“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.”
“Our second time having Beth watch our pup and she does a fantastic job and always sent appreciated updates for us! Would have her dog sit again!”
“Rachel took great care of our pets, and I could tell they fell in love with her because they were smiling so big in every picture she sent! Would definitely choose her again.”
“Carolina was so caring to my Annie! She took numerous photos, gave great updates and left me Polaroids of Annie. She was also fine with me being late and was very communicative! I will certainly use her again!”
“Ryan was great. He was communicative and responsive to our needs and the needs of our two large dogs. While we were gone, he sent us pictures and regular updates. He was also really respectful of our house. We will definitely use him again (and have actually already booked him for another stay).”
“Anika took care of our dog, Keri, and our home for 10 days land 9 nights. We came home to a contented pup. The weather was severely cold while we were away (many days well below zero degrees) and Anika was diligent about putting Keri’s warm jacket on her when she went outside to do her business in the yard or —- when it was sunny enough—when she took her for a walk. She sent us photos of Keri nearly every day. We plan to ask Anika to take care of Keri again in the future, and we highly recommend her as a dog (and house) sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of many types of dogs for most of my life. My family, friends and neighbors have relied on me watching their pups while on vacation or even for a day! I love taking them on walks and bringing them to the dog parks. I’m very used to and love cuddly pups and pups that love to play! I am currently in college so I am unavailable until 1 pm every weekday, but my evenings and some weekends are open almost every week! I have an invisible fenced yard with 3 young pups who love to roam around and spend time in the yard, but we also have a leash put out just incase! I can easily wait outside with your pup while going potty, and easily put them in the crate if needed! My pups are allowed everywhere in the house, on furniture, sleep in beds, etc.
“Rachel is wonderful! She was attentive to our Labs’ needs and kept them happy and active. She went above and beyond to care for our senior dog, who can be challenging, and even shoveled snow for us while we were away! Our house was pristine when we returned and she updated us every day. 5/5 stars!”
“Sharron did an incredible job watching our two pups! She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and cared for at every moment. When your dogs are like your babies it means the world to have someone like Sharron looking after them. I would recommend Sharron to anyone!”
“Becca was quick to respond for our last minute request to watch our two dogs. She was on time and happily stayed for an extra 30min until we got home. Very professional and made our dogs feel comfortable while we were away. Would and will book again.”
“Arianna is an amazing pet sitter! She is flexible and responsible, easy to work with and kind. We could enjoy our time away knowing that our dog and home were well cared for. We were so grateful to find her to care for our sweet pup. We will definitely be asking her to sit for Hank again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Falcon Heights
Brooke was an immediate friend to Mija. She warmed up to Brooke immediately. I appreciated the frequent updates and photos and could see that my anxiety-prone dog was in excellent hands. This was a first time service and Brooke checked all the boxes with kindness and grace.
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!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Falcon Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Falcon Heights is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $72 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,477 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Falcon Heights. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
