“Abigail did a great job with our 10 year old dog who does not like change! She asked great questions when we met, communicated with me throughout her stay, sent cute pictures, and allowed us to enjoy our weekend away. I hesitated writing a review because I know anyone who books her will definitely want to book again!”
“I highly recommend Sammie! She took such good care of our two dogs while we were on vacation. She sent photos every day and we knew they were in great hands. She is a true professional and we’ll definitely use her again.”
“debdatta was absolutely wonderful! I was out of the country for a week and she took care of my small dog and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to do so! debdatta has a very calming and gentle nature and made sure my dog felt comfortable in her home. She even bought my dog some different dog food since I had run out of the food one day. She kept me updated daily and was extremely responsive. Would recommend 10/10! :)”
“Kelsey did such an amazing job taking care of our pets when we went away for the weekend! She was very communicative and sent lots of adorable pictures of them - they clearly really took to her. I felt very comfortable with having Kelsey taking care of my animals and also my house. I would absolutely book her again!”
“Kevin was really great with my trio of Dogs: medium, small and smaller. He gave meds and did all the things they like to do. He was very flexible with me in the flurry of getting out of town. I recommend him highly!”
“Jennifer did another great job with Zoey. She was well cared for and got plenty of treats. Jennifer sent us a lot of pictures to show us how Zoey was doing and we really appreciated that. Will definitely ask for her again.”
“Ashley was an excellent house/dog sitter! Our pup was clearly well taken care of, she spent lots of time playing and walking him. We appreciated the routine updates and she left the house clean and secured. Glad to know we can work with her again!”
“Once again Connie’s commitment to the animals she takes care of shined through on our most recent engagement. In addition to her normal care, she took care of my baby girl when she got sick, It can be a nightmare when you are on vacation and your baby gets sick. Connie stepped up to give her next level care and worked with me to help alleviate the situation. I’m so greatful for her.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the very beginning, Kelly was professional, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs/senior dogs. She took the time to understand my dog’s routine, preferences, and personality, which immediately put me at ease. While I we were away, I received regular updates, photos, and messages that showed just how happy and well cared for my dog was. It was such a relief knowing my dog Abby, was doing great and living her best I highly recommend Kelly to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and kind!!”
“Hannah did an awesome job with Zoey, we could tell she was well cared for. Zoey is shy and a little stand-offish but she warmed up to Hannah right away. Hannah also did a great job taking care of the house, she left everything nice and neat. We would absolutely hire her again.”
About: Eight years ago, I had the privilege of finding my soul dog, who taught me just how beautiful and meaningful the bond between humans and animals can be. Learning to understand her unique personality, nonverbal communication, and individual needs deepened my patience, empathy, and intentionality in caring for animals. My sweet girl sadly passed away in November 2025, but the love and lessons she gave me continue to shape how I connect with animals today. I find so much joy in getting to know each animal as an individual, building trust, respecting their boundaries, and providing loving, attentive care that meets their unique needs. I currently share my home with two cats, and our household regularly welcomes dogs we're caring for. I also have experience house-sitting for friends and family, allowing their pets to remain comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their routines as closely as possible. I believe animals communicate so much when we take the time to listen and observe. Whether your pet is playful and outgoing or shy and needs a little extra patience, my priority is to help them feel safe, respected, loved, and understood while you're away. I'm currently self-employed, which allows me plenty of flexibility throughout the week to accommodate your pet's needs and routines! I'm available for drop-in visits, house sitting, and daily walks, including weekdays and weekends. I enjoy incorporating time with animals into my daily routine and am happy to coordinate schedules to ensure your pets receive consistent, attentive, and loving care. Whether it's a quick check-in, a long walk, or overnight companionship, I'm committed to making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. Creating a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment is my priority. My home has a fenced yard and two cats who are accustomed to dogs, though I prefer a meet-and-greet before confirming stays to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I can also accommodate crate-trained dogs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I respect their individual needs, boundaries, and routines, providing patient, attentive care so they feel safe, loved, and understood while you're away.

“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.”

I can't say enough good things about Debdatta! This was our first time using her, and she truly went above and beyond for our dog, Joy. An unexpected medical situation came up right before our trip, and Deb stepped in without hesitation, taking on far more than we had originally planned. She was incredibly caring, attentive and communicative (we loved the photos and videos!) throughout our time away, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Joy was in wonderful hands. We are so grateful for the care and attention Deb gave her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet!
Kara was fantastic. Our trip was almost a week and she did a great job with a 4 month old puppy. It was our first time leaving him for an extended period and we came back to a happy, healthy puppy. She gave him lots of great playtime and attention and left the house in fantastic shape, Her communication and attention to detail was also terrific. Will definitely use Kara again.
Aziz did a fantastic job house sitting for our dog and two cats during a week-long family trip. He communicated so well and clearly, pays great attention to detail, and our pets were so well taken care of. It's also worth noting that our two cats are elderly and require a fair bit more attention and care than ordinary cats, and Aziz did a marvelous job meeting their needs. Will definitely book again for future trips. :)
Sarah takes such great care of our two dogs and gives us complete peace of mind while we were away. She’s thoughtful, reliable, communicative, and truly cares about the animals she watches. Our dogs absolutely love her, and honestly, I can’t imagine asking anyone else to care for them!

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 Maple Grove 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 Maple Grove 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 Maple Grove 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.
