“Jillissa stayed overnight with my fur babies. She kept in contact and sent pics with updates. I felt very comfortable with her in my home and will not hesitate to book with her again!”
“Isabelle watched our three dogs while we were away for the weekend and did a great job! Our pups loved her, especially our pup that is usually very nervous around people he doesn't know. She was quick to respond to our initial request to have her pet sit and she sent lots of updates and pictures. We will definitely be asking her to watch our pups again for upcoming trips!”
“Jaxon recently cared for my two dogs in my home. He was positive, professional and a great communicator. This was my first experience on Rover and I could not be more pleased. I would have him care for my pets again in a heartbeat!”
About: Grew up with a dog and haven't met one I didn't love - I love spending time outside, enjoy walks in town and on trails and enjoy settling down on the couch for a movie after a day of playing hard. The place I am living doesn't allow pets and I like helping out where I can, so signing up for Rover seemed like a great way to feed two birds with one scone. Recently graduated with a teaching degree and plan to start teaching in the fall. Until then though, my schedule is wide open (there are some weekends I will be traveling, but they are marked on my calendar). This means that I will be able to provide your pets as much time as they need while you are away. Your pets safety and comfort are paramount, so I plan to follow any directions I am left with and stick to your pets regular routine.
About: I’ve pet sit for a long time! I often take care of a few dogs in my neighborhood and my next door neighbors cat. Ive always grown up around dogs so I know the responsibility of taking care of one. I always remember the details and I’m good at making a connection with pets. (dogs seems to always like me!). I enjoy bathing them and playing with them. I never forget to feed or take them on walks or outside for potty! Im currently in college at Winona but I am home for the majority of the summer. Starting July I’ll be up in Winona but can drive back if needed. I’d love to take care of your guys’ pets this summer, go enjoy a vacation. I often take care of my own dog! She needs play time and outside time. She gets the zoomies a lot so I always make sure to have her favorite toy out. Of course, I feed her twice a day as she needs. I’ll let her outside to go potty or play and keep an eye on her. I do bathe her every now and then to keep her clean and sometimes strip her fur if it’s getting too long. I love to keep a clean environment for pets so I always clean up/organize after!
“This is the 3rd time I have used Ajia for over nite cat care and again what a great experience! Pics, communication, and house care great. Thank you Ajia, for going out of your way to make my husband and I's recent trip more pleasurable.”
About: We’re Pawz & Play! We offer dog & cat boarding, weekend daycare, drop in visits, dog walking, and house sitting in Winona, MN. We operate on a small-scale, only taking a maximum of 2 pups or one family’s pets at a time. Erica is an aspiring dog groomer & trainer who someday hopes to have her own facility. Ciara is working on getting her bachelors and is the primary person on drop in visits. We have two medium sized young dogs who love to play & get along great with playful pups of all ages and sizes as well as an older small dog who does great with calmer pups. All dogs are assessed for play style and comfort level before being split into play groups. One of us is home the majority of the time and we incorporate your pets into our girls’ daily routine or we can do a rotation schedule if they’re not a fan of group activities. Our fenced in back yard has a good size dog run within the fence just for pups and the rest of the yard includes the chickens & rabbits in their own runs as well as a small patio, hammocks, and garden beds. Whether in your home or ours, we are happy to serve your pets whatever food you’d like including homemade, raw, canned food, or kibble. We just ask that it be premade so we need only measure out the amount and feed your babies.
“Jacque was wonderful while staying with my puppy Atlas for the weekend! She provided me with great updates and pictures. I could tell Atlas really liked her and he was the same happy, sweet pup when I returned home!”
“Christie was great to work with and great with our kitty! I was so worried about leaving my young kitten for a week but she made the experience stress free. She provided several updates and lots of pictures! I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to stay with their pets and in their home!”
“Angi was above and beyond with our dog in our home. So many photos, check-ins, accident clean ups and she even cooked some additional dog food for us so when we got back he was all set for the week. Truly thought of everything. Such a fantastic experience!”
“Abbey & Joe were great. We appreciated that they always responded to messages very quickly and after meeting both of them during the pre-care meet & greet, we felt confident our dog & home would be in good hands. We will definitely reach out to them again.”
“We were so happy with the care Eliza gave to our 3 spoiled dogs. She took excellent care of our dogs. We would definitely recommend her. We will be rebooking Eliza on our next trip.”
“Grace did an awesome job taking care of Derps and our house. Derpie was limping when I left and I was worried about him, but Grace took good care of him and kept me updated as he got better throughout the week.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Goodview on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 211 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Goodview. 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 Goodview 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 Goodview 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 Goodview 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
