“Elizabeth did an amazing job caring for my pets. She clearly read and followed the instructions for my dog and cat. She was very communicative, respectful of my home, and tuned into their needs. I came home to happy and well-cared for animals. I recommend her services and will hire her again!”
“Kelly was an awesome sitter for our dog with separation anxiety! It was our first time booking and she couldn’t have been more accommodating. Kelly sent frequent updates and photos to keep us informed while we were away. We’d recommend her to anyone.”
“Our cats were very well taken care of. Samantha provided daily feedback and pictures. She even got the picky one to eat and sit with her. Would happily have her pet sit for us again.”
“Kristin patiently tolerated my anxious pup who greeted her with 30 minutes of barking upon daily visits. She knew what to do to create trust and followed troubleshooting suggestions from us. Kristin had 4 fur baby personalities to attend and did so with competence and grace. Excellent communication and photos provided! Do not hesitate to hire her; she'll always be my first choice for in-home care.”
“I am so happy to have connected with Isabelle on Rover! I've had some questionable sitters before and I'm so relieved to have found a reliable person with great communication! Will definitely be booking again. 🐾”
“Brooke house/dog sat for us for a 2 week vacation to Europe and I was so nervous to leave my baby for so long but Brooke made it so easy! She sent multiple updates with pictures EVERYday and I could tell she really enjoyed her time with Rosie. She even brought over some enrichment toys for her and she really enjoyed those. I travel for work and am sad that I can’t take Brooke with us everywhere we go! She was great and definitely recommend her!”
“KRISTEN IS THE BEST! If you’re thinking of contacting her- do it. We were out of town for four days and we had never used Rover at all before. It’s safe to say we were nervous to leave our two dogs behind. Kristen was simply awesome. Both dogs have very unique personalities and needs, and Kristen was SO attentive to each and every need. Between an anxious dog who hid under the bed, taking the dogs to the dog park, walking them on trails, and up-keeping very specific potty and feeding routines, Kristen handled everything. On top of that, we received many pictures and videos, which made us feel so much better about leaving our dogs behind. Kristen even took the dogs out separately for potty and playing, which is something we are so thankful for. Additionally, our apartment was left probably even cleaner than it was when we handed over our keys to her. We are already planning on booking her again. She’s a totally dog person, and cares so much about every dog’s needs. We feel like we hit the jackpot, and very lucky. Thank you, Kristen!”
“We could not have left our pup and our home in better hands. Deb was great with Jasper, and that's not an easy feat, as he is a big, rambunctious, and sometimes unpredictable guy. Our weekend away was stress free and we loved getting the photo updates from Deb. We are already dreaming of our next getaway, and Deb will be the first person we call to dog and house sit for us again.”
“Savanna was great with my pup. Provided lots of updates throughout the visit. She was also super helpful in bringing in mail that was delivered. I would highly recommend Savanna to those looking for a great provider.”
“This was our first time with Chuck and all went well! He reached out where clarification was needed and responded and shared updates, house was clean and Churro seemed happy :) Will definitely keep him in mind for the future.”
“Molly was the best! She sent us so many updates, photos and videos during our trip so we didn’t have to worry about Pucci at all. She went above and beyond, our place looked way cleaner than we left it. We definitely will book with her again!”
“Our 3 dogs really enjoyed having Katy around! She met us and the dogs before our trip. She was in contact with me and sent pictures the whole time we were gone. Would definitely have her again!”
“Lauren took great care of our pup Kody while we were out of town, and was even able to stay at our place despite having some exterior renovations done. She was a great communicator, sent pics/updates, and we arrived home to a happy and healthy pup!”
“Maggie took the best care of my dog over the weekend! She was very communicative, friendly, and super understanding of my dog’s anxiety and needs. She asked great questions to make sure he felt comfortable and provided cute photos and updates. She also left my apartment super clean and exactly how she found it. 10/10 recommend!!”
About: Retired but a “young” 61 . Lost my dog this year and can’t have pets where I currently live so I’ve been getting my cat and dog fixes watching family and friends pets ! I’m a new Grandma so expect your pet to be spoiled and get lots of attention - love if they want to sleep with me . I can do overnight, day sitting or drop in at your house . Will meet you prior and check my references- I will do a good job for you and you can relax while away ! I’m retired so my time is my own -7 day a week availability-and I can hang with your pet all day if wanted - will walk and take outside to potty Sadly my dog passed recently- I’ve stayed at my sisters many times with her dogs —one is a senior and one is a puppy - big fenced yard and lots of in and out . They are welcome in my bed - love to snuggle with them
“Katy did a great job pet sitting for our four pets while we were out of town for a long weekend. Despite a lot of instructions around our animal care routines (we have three senior pets, and all of our pets are either on meds or prescription diets), she handled everything in stride. She communicated frequently, clarified any questions she had, and kept our pets happy and cozy at home while we were gone. This was the first time we've ever used Rover, or a pet sitter we didn't know personally, and thanks to Katy's efforts, we will feel safe doing so again. Thank you, Katy!”

Kaylee is a wonderful sitter. I left my pet for the 1st time and when I came home, my pet was in good spirits. Kaylee sent pictures and communicated with us often. I would definitely request her again, and Ihighly recommend Kaylee for whatever your and your pets needs are.
We had such a great experience with Isabel! She was super quick to respond, flexible with our last-minute changes, and so sweet with Ella when she wasn’t feeling her best. She even went above and beyond and brought Ella to our wedding photos, which was so special to us! She took such great care of Ella and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away for our wedding weekend. We’re so thankful we found her and would definitely recommend her!
Elizabeth did an amazing job caring for my pets. She clearly read and followed the instructions for my dog and cat. She was very communicative, respectful of my home, and tuned into their needs. I came home to happy and well-cared for animals. I recommend her services and will hire her again!
Holly did amazing caring for our pets and home while we were away during a tough week with a heat wave and poor air quality. She communicated well and we appreciate that she cleans up everything (even washing sheets and towels). We will keep using Holly if she’s available.
Megan was an amazing sitter. We both met before the actual start of care and I loved her. I reached out last minute for a travel plan and she met all my expectations in my home. In my opinion, SHE IS THE BEST and will care for your pet like you do. I will definitely be booking her again!! 🐾❤️🐾

FAQs for House Sitting - Minnetonka Mills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Minnetonka Mills on Rover is $55.5 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 3,433 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Minnetonka Mills. 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 Minnetonka Mills 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 Minnetonka Mills 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 Minnetonka Mills 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 with handling special pet needs in Minnetonka Mills. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
