About: I've grown up with big dogs my whole life, so being around them has always felt natural to me. I truly love animals and know they're not just pets, they're family. I'm patient, gentle, and love getting to know each dog's little personality and quirks. Whether your pup loves long walks, lots of attention, or just needs someone they can feel comfortable with, I'll treat them with the same love and care I'd give my own. I'm currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to give your pets the attention, playtime, and care they deserve. I’m very easy to communicate with, respond quickly, and will always keep you updated while your pets are in my care. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person looking after your pets, so I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for! Your pet’s safety will always be my top priority. I’ll make sure to follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, and any specific needs your pet may have. I’ll always keep a close eye on them during walks and playtime, make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and never put them in an unsafe situation. I’m also very attentive and will reach out right away if I notice anything unusual or have any concerns.
“She was fantastic! We have 2 cats and 2 dogs. She pet sat at our house when I needed to fly to Florida last minute for a family emergency. Colleen, sent us updates with pictures. Gave me such a peace of mind while gone to know my fur babies were in good hands!”
“We are so grateful for Lee and completely confident that our kiddos were in good hands while we were away! Not only did she keep us updated daily but we came home to a very clean home. We will definitely be repeat clients!”
About: I’ve had cats growing up and have pet sat big doggies, kitties, bunnies, chickens, and more! I’m so excited to show your fur babies some love! I work during the day, usually from the 9-5 timeframe, though it can vary week-to-week. I’m here to make them as comfortable as possible while you’re away! I aim to make your furry friends feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. I’m happy to give them water, food, pets, or whatever else they are needing.
“Kylie and Dylan stayed with our 2 dogs for two weeks and we were very happy with the care they provided. When we returned, our pups were happy and the house was in great shape.”
“So grateful for John! Very understanding of the difficulties I had leaving my Luna for the first time like this - sent me multiple texts, pictures and videos assuring me she was doing well and happy. Very flexible with my schedule and made the point to come meet Luna ahead of time on a previous day. Very attentive to Luna's schedule and her specific little quirks. Luna clearly enjoyed her time, giving John a super speed tail wag and some kisses before we left.”
“Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Mariana is an outstanding individual who cared for my big baby Great Danes and a barn cat named Rosie if they were own. She is extremely conscientious, trustworthy, a kind, caring and loving person. My husband and I had to away addressing some medical concerns, which has been very stressful in itself, so leaving our pets behind or in a kennel can only add to the stress. Having Mariana in my home with our two Great Danes and knowing how well they were being cared for, removed any concern. She even provided injections to our diabetic dog. Our house was spotless when we returned and she kept us updated with photos and videos the entire time to put our minds as ease that they were all doing great! I would recommend her to anyone needing a house/dog sitter! We plan to have her back every time we have a need to travel in the future. Great job Mariana and special thanks to her husband Chris!”
“Autumn was great! I came home and the house looked like nobody had even been there. The dogs were relaxed and happy. Autumn was communicative and honest. Will definitely be using her in the future!”
About: From young age I've been responsible for many types of animals. I have experience with dogs and puppies, cats and kittens, cows and calfs, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, iguana, fish, frogs, turtles, salamanders, etc. I currently have one medium dog who lost his litter mate in December 2023. I'm a stay at home dog Mom. We both have lots of energy for walks and hikes. I live on a 1 mile dirt, seasonal, dead end road with lake frontage and massive yard for playing hide and seek in the trees and hunting squirrels. My dog is dog friendly, loves playmates. (No jealousy). In your home care would be provided to your pets as we would discuss with a meet & greet.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Minetto
What a pleasure it was to meet Alyssa! She was prompt, communicative, and kind. We loved that she was able to stay in our trailer, at the campsite, for the day. Our three dogs liked Alyssa! That’s not always something that happens! We were so happy with her pictures and texts showing how the day was going. She even left a list of things for us to see and do in the area. We would highly recommend Alyssa!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Minetto is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $47 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.

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 Minetto 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 Minetto 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 Minetto 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.

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.
