“Brianna was amazing. I basically never go out if town, so finding care for my dog is extremely stressful -- Brianna took all of the stress out of anything related to watching my dog while I was away. Not only did she come meet Patches in advance, she also sent pictures showing all the fun things they did throughout the day. My dog was super relaxed and happy when I got home -- you could tell she had a great time while I was gone. 100/10 will use Brianna any time I'm out of town.”
“Anika is so sweet and was great with our pups! She arrived on time, was very accommodating to our needy pups’ schedule, followed all instructions, left our home clean, and even left flowers for us to come home to after our trip! We will definitely be contacting her again in the future!”
“Carolina was a life saver when I had daycare plans fall through for my puppy land on a holiday no less. She stepped in last minute and took fantastic care of my little guy! Would highly recommend her.”
“Connie loves my dog Lady! I feel so comfortable having her take care of her and my house when I am out of town. She was great with pics, updates and check-ins. I will definitely book with Connie again.”
“Despite the difficulty of my anxious dog, Geneva was very attentive and kept me informed throughout the day. She was very patient with my does needs and did a great job taking care of them.”
“Gabby was amazing and did a wonderful job taking care of our dog while we were gone, she was very responsive and sent a lot of pictures of our fur baby! I would highly recommend Gabby for your pet needs!”
“Emily spent two weeks at our house with our three dogs and loved them like they were her own. We requested daily photo updates and she obliged with more than 150 pics during our time abroad. She had to help us process the unexpected loss of one of our pups during this time and was an absolute godsend to us. We would recommend her 1000 times over.”
“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!”
About: I have had my own dog since I was 4. I also have been a dog sitter for many of my neighbors for years. I have experience with frequent visits during the day and overnight sitting. I’ve also had experience with special conditions such as giving medication and caring for pets who are ill. For example, my dog needs ear drops and allergy medication, so I have experience with those types of medication specifically. I also have experience cat sitting and caring for other pets, like small rodents or snakes. Currently I am working full time, hybrid, with two days in the office. I’m available for visits during the mornings and afternoons/nights during the week or weekend. I will be more available during the holiday season as well and can sit for an extended period of time if you are on vacation. I have a cat at home so I cannot provide home services, but I am available for house sitting! I have done many extended stays and have the luxury of working from home, so if your pet needs to stick to their schedule, I can be there.
“Ava did a fantastic job caring for our 2 yellow labs for a weekend. She sent us an update and photos. We had a meet and greet prior and all the communication was spot on. I highly recommend Ava!”
“Ketzia was great - she dog and house sat for me, and she was very reliable and communicative the entire stay. She gave lots of updates w dog pics thru her stay, and even cleaned the place up exactly how the house was before she stayed ( I'm a clean freak and she was super clean). I'll use her again and recommend you do too!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals in the house and on the farm my entire life, from small dachshunds to chow chows to large hunting labs. We’ve had very rascal puppies, young high energy dogs, and very senior dogs on medications and needing special attention. I’ve house sat all sizes of dogs, from terriers and corgis to golden retrievers, as well as cats, both friendly and standoff-ish. Growing up with animals in the house, I know firsthand that pets aren’t pets, they are family, you love them dearly, when they get sick you clean up after them, and they make the world go round. I love pets that are very involved with everyday life (see my photos) of pets “helping” with homework, regular walks and play time, and bedtime snuggles, as well as pets that are in their own world and coexistence works best. I work full-time outside the house, M-F, so I’m mainly looking for weekends and overnights. I’m able to check-in on my lunch breaks when needed, and happy to do so. I grew up in the country and our dogs roamed free, while most animals that I’ve house sat have fenced in yards, so regular walks and active play is necessary. I’m used to animals both being left to roam the house or be crated during the day. I’m a pretty active person and my animals are active parts of my life, so if your pet enjoys people and is able-bodied, we’ll probably be going on lots of walks, finding nearby parks, eating meals together, and snuggling up to watch a movie. No one is allowed to meet your animal unless there is prior approval, especially no other animals unless yours is friendly and willing. I (unfortunately) have experience with animals getting sick, jumping a fence and going for a run, and unfriendly dogs coming close. I recognize these are all unwanted, however very possible, and having experience navigating and handling these often stressful situations, is needed to keep your animal safe and comfortable. I take every precaution to mitigate these risks, and have learned from my own animals and their mischievery.
“Peggy was hands-down the best house sitter we’ve had. She stayed at our house for a week with our two dogs and sent daily updates that kept us at ease while we were away. When unexpected tree work popped up at the house mid-stay, she rolled with it seamlessly and even kept us posted on how the dogs were doing with the noise. She also watered our newly-planted plants. Our Bernese Mountain Dog is noise-anxious and usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but you could tell in every photo Peggy sent that she felt safe and at ease. We can't recommend Peggy enough. If you want a sitter who's attentive, communicative, and genuinely great with anxious pups, she's the one to book.”
About: Hello! I am a cat owner and dog lover who has looked after family and friend’s pets for many years. I grew up with dogs (boxers) and was largely responsible for playing, walking, and feeding them. I don’t currently have a dog but love dogs of all types and am looking for an opportunity to spend more time around them. I am also a recent cat owner and have been learning more about their care and behaviors over the past few years. I’d love the chance to care for your pets! I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible and I have a lot of time available for pet sitting and dog walking! I am a responsible and careful pet owner and pet sitter, and I am focused on making sure pets are safe, comfortable, and happy! I am good at reading dog and cat body language, and I always play it safe with my own pets and will do the same with yours.
“Jessica was fantastic. She stayed in our apartment and was super communicative and responsive organizing the logistics, understood everything we explained and we felt reassured after doing the meet and greet that he will be left in good hands. She sent photos at least 3X / day, it was clear that Tucker loved her as he was snuggling up next to Jessica on the couch. Will definitely book her again, and I recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Alex was so wonderful and patient with our senior dog! We felt so comfortable knowing she was well taken care of while we were gone. She communicated well and sent us lots of pictures. We will definitely be booking Alex again!”
“Sarah did a great job with our senior dog (who still acts like a pup). She sent updates and our house looked as good as it did when we left for the weekend. Sarah is trustworthy and Moose loves her, which is a win-win for our family!”
“Cari is just wonderful with our puppers. It’s obvious that she’s built a great relationship with them and that they really like her. Bonus points on keeping the house incredibly clean.”

I can’t say enough great things about Brianna! She came and stayed at our house for the first time and our doggos can be a handful (to say the least!). She gave regular updates, took them on walks, and even got our shy kitty to come out and say hello. It was so nice to know we could be out of town and have our pets be in such great hands. I can’t recommend her enough!!
Amyah took care of Tucker for 1.5 days while we had a quick trip out of town. She was willing to meet ahead of time for a brief meet-n-greet to get acquainted. During the booking, Amyah kept in touch with pictures and messages, which was appreciated. Thanks Amyah!
Jessica was amazing! We have a nervous dog that usually takes awhile to warm up to new people, but he took to her right away! She took him on multiple walks and took great care of him in our home. She also sent multiple updates and pictures so we had great piece of mind while we were gone knowing he was comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend her, we will definitely be booking with her again!!
Connie is an absolute treasure. We are so thankful for her putting our minds at ease while we took a family vacation. This was the first time we used a pet sitting service and were blown away by her kindness and professionalism. We knew our two pups and kitty were treated like family and that means SO much to a pet owner when you are away. Thanks Connie! 🫶
If you're looking for a reliable caring person to watch out for your four-legged family member Camryn is an excellent choice. Not only did she treat my sprocket like her own, but she also did an amazing job house sitting. Her attention to detail was excellent. She went above and beyond her obligations and was really just a class act from start to finish. I'd gladly use her again in the future.
Jennifer took great care of our dogs while we were gone and our house. Dogs were happy when we returned house was cleaned up. Jennifer sent pictures and updates to us a few times a day. Would definitely ask her to watch our pups again if we have need thanks Jennifer for taking good care of our canine family members while we were gone!

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 Fridley 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 Fridley 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 Fridley 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.
