“Rylan was a lifesaver. She agreed to take care of my girls (11 month old kittens) very last minute so I could go on vacation. Her communication and daily updates were great, and she took very good care of my home and kitties while I was away.”
“Lisa is a repeat sitter for my dog, Phoebe. I recently got two kittens and this was their first stay with a sitter, and Lisa was flexible and willing to adjust to their life style. I love getting daily pictures and updates which is always done with a lovely message. I’d recommend Lisa!”
“Leann was amazing! She took great care of our girl and sent a lot of pictures, which we love. She made sure our return home was easy and stress-free and and took care of everything. Highly recommend!”
“Kaitlin was awesome! Our two big dogs loved hanging out with her and we were grateful that she was available to watch them all week. It's really nice knowing that your pets are well taken care of. Kaitlin sent us daily updates with pictures and we came home to happy, excited boys. Would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Katherine was great with my dog! My dog has separation anxiety and she enjoyed her time while Katherine looked after her :) She came by in advance to meet my dog, which was greatly appreciated.”

“This was our first time booking with Joel and he did an amazing job watching our senior lab dog and staying at our house. He also fed our bearded dragon for us which was appreciated! He was great at communicating and left everything so clean and spotless! We could tell our dog was well cared for 🥰”
About: Dogs have always held such a special place in my heart. I had my own dog for 9 wonderful years before sadly losing her, and I’ve also spent years caring for my brother’s dogs. I’m especially comfortable with larger breeds and have lots of experience with American Akitas, so big dogs don’t scare me! I love getting to know each dog’s personality, whether they’re energetic, goofy, shy, or the ultimate cuddle bug. I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of love, attention, playtime, and belly rubs while you’re away. I work Monday–Friday until 3 PM, but I’m available afterward and have open weekends. I’m happy to plan around your pet’s routine and my upcoming fall classes. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I want both the pet and their home to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention. I’ll always respect their space and belongings, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure pets are supervised and safe. I’ll also keep the home clean and tidy and communicate with the owner so they feel comfortable and updated while they’re away.
“Emma did an AWESOME job! She kept us updated with pictures and our cat who never trusts anyone was totally content and happy with Emma and hung out with her all weekend. One of our dogs has to take medication and Emma was very professional and had all the medical stuff under control. Emma did a fantastic job and we will absolutely ask her to watch our two dogs and cat again!”
“Camille and Jordan took great care of Cal, sent plenty of pictures, and did everything asked. Easy to enjoy the weekend away knowing the dog is in good hands.”
“Rory was amazing with my Duchess. Being a giant she can intimidate people as well as she is nervous to meet new people. Rory and Duchess bonded quickly after introductions and I trust my girls instincts. He was very professional and was very flexible and accommodating for my spoiled Duchess’s needs. I will be rebooking with Rory with all my future fur baby sitting needs.”
“Michelle did a great job with my 4 animals. Took them and their care in stride. Shared the right amount of updates and made it feel good when I got home, everything was as tidy as I'd left.”
“Paige did a great job taking care of my somewhat shy pup and had great communication with me while I was away. Would definitely suggest her to others looking for someone to care for their furry friends ☺️”
“Judi did a great job taking care of my pups, making sure they had lots of fun and their daily required treats. She sent lots of pictures of them enjoying themselves and not missing me - the best a crazy dog mom can hope for.”
“Very sweet and fabulous with our dog who has a lot of separation anxiety. Our dog loved her and when I came home, she didn’t go crazy like usual if I leave the house for a bit, which means she wasn’t feeling aa anxious. I really appreciate the care for our dog and look forward to booking her again!”

Kaitlin did another fantastic job caring for our two French Bulldogs. We had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. She was dependable, communicative, and gave them plenty of attention. We came home to two happy, well cared for pups and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!
This was our first time using Rover and Erin was wonderful! She took great care of our boy Jax, as he can get very anxious being left alone but he warmed up to her quickly! She was very communicative with updates and pictures, which helped reassure us that Jax was being well taken care of. We would definitely have Erin watch Jax and house sit again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mahtomedi
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mahtomedi on Rover is $66.6 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 3,281 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mahtomedi. 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 Mahtomedi 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 Mahtomedi 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 Mahtomedi 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.

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.
