“Ty and Charlie came for a meet and greet and were timely and pleasant. Martin accepted them right away. I did not see them on sitting day but they arrived in time to care for Marty and he was fed and happy upon our return.”
“Shaun did an amazing job! He followed all of our directions, kept us updated, and took great care of Lex while we were away. Lex was very happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for when we got home. We really appreciated the attention and care he gave our dog and home. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
About: I’ve mostly taken care of small creatures on my lifetime. I used to own parakeets and currently I own a leopard gecko whom I absolutely adore! I always wanted to own cats and/or dogs growing up but I’ve never been allowed to do that because my mom is irrationally afraid of both. I used to own a kitten but we had to give it away because my mom thought she could handle it but she was just too scared of it. I’ve taken care of other people’s cats and dogs before and I get along well with all animals! Since I’m unemployed, I am free anytime other than Saturday and Sunday mornings. Saturday I have classes from 10 am to 12 pm and Sundays I have church from 9 am to 11 am. I unfortunately do not CURRENTLY have anything that is specifically catered to dogs or cats in my house or yard, as I do not own either at the moment. I can certainly do my absolute best to cater to your animal’s needs, however!
“Shannon did amazing with my pup Mia! She sent tons of pictures so I didn’t have to miss her too much, and gave her lots of exercise since she’s a high energy doggo! Super pleased, I’ll definitely book her again.”
“Deborah stayed at our home to take care of our two doggies and our kitty while we were gone for the weekend. She was wonderful! Very attentive, providing updates and giving them lots of attention. Our one dog is on meds and the others are on special diets. Highly recommend Deborah for taking care of your fur babies and looking after your home.”

“Sophia was an amazing Rover! She kept us updated the whole time and seriously spoiled Roxie while we were gone! Is was so nice knowing our dog was in good hands the whole time we were gone:)”
“Megan did a great job of house sitting our dog! She followed the care instructions and routine schedule. She sent pictures of our dog by text everyday. A few household items came up that were resolved quickly. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing that Megan was providing very good care of our sweet girl. Highly recommend.”
About: My experience comes from years of being around and caring for pets belonging to family and close friends. I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m naturally patient, attentive, and nurturing so I definitely understand how important it is for your fur babies to feel loved, safe, and cared for while their favorite people are away. Pets are family too and I’ll treat yours with that same level of care and attention. I also have close family and friends connected to the military, so I understand how unpredictable and demanding military life can be. Long workdays and changing schedules can make having reliable pet care especially important. I want to be someone you can count on when life gets busy or plans change. Whether you’re fur baby needs a walk, playtime, feeding, companionship, or simply someone trustworthy to check in on them, I’m happy to help. I’m great at following instructions and paying attention to the little things that make each pet unique. My goal is to give every pet plenty of attention, affection, and quality care while making your time away easier and giving you complete peace of mind. 🐾 I recently moved to the area and have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. My main daily commitment is making sure my two kids get on and off the school bus safely and on time, which means I have flexibility throughout the day to provide walks, drop ins, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their space clean and comfortable, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh food and water, and companionship. I’ll also provide regular updates so you know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. For walks and drop ins, I focus on making each visit fun, safe, and engaging while keeping your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I understand that leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful, so my goal is to make the experience comfortable for both you and your fur babies and give you peace of mind knowing they’re being well cared for.
About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Ana! I’m a proud dog mom to a special needs German Shepherd who has idiopathic epilepsy. Because excitement and overstimulation can trigger seizures, he’s kept separate from other dogs for his safety. His condition has taught me the importance of patience, reading canine body language, and providing calm, attentive care! A little about me!😊 I’ve worked with exotic animals for over four years and have experience caring for a wide variety of species, including rabbits, snakes, fish, turtles, dogs and birds. During that time, I’ve bred rabbits and snakes and have cared for them through every stage of life from newborns to healthy adults. I’ve also taken in surrendered animals from owners who could no longer care for them, giving those animals a safe place while helping them get the care they need. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m truly passionate about providing them with the love, patience, and care they deserve. Whether they’re furry, feathered, or scaled, I treat every animal as if they were my own. ❤️🐾 🏡 A Comfortable, Dog Friendly Home. Your pup will have everything they need during their stay from extra leashes, bowls, food, and treats to lots of room for play and rest. I always make sure each dog feels right at home. 🏠 House Sitting & Drop Ins. I’ll give your pets the same love and attention I give my own feeding, playtime, potty breaks, companionship and enjoyment!! 🦮 Dog walks. I bring my own leash and supplies to keep things simple, clean, and stress free!! 🍲 Homemade Meals with Love. I also enjoy preparing fresh, home cooked dog meals made with real ingredients like chicken, turkey, beef, or fish, plus healthy veggies such as carrots, sweet potato, peas, cucumbers, and pumpkin. Let me know if I can share these delicious warm meals with your pup!! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home often, so I have plenty of time for walks, play, feeding, and cuddles throughout the day I create a safe, calm, and loving environment by supervising all pets closely, keeping spaces clean and secure, and following each owner’s care instructions to make sure every pet feels comfortable and protected.
“Once again Vanessa did an amazing job watching our 2 dogs while we were on vacation. Trust worthy, good communication, and flexible. It’s so nice to leave town and know our fur kids are safe with her care. THANK YOU!”
About: Hi! I’m Sharyll, a passionate animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Back in Nicaragua, I volunteered at Lucito Shelter, where I helped rescue, feed, and care for animals in need — an experience that taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of earning every pet’s trust. Currently, I work at PetSuites, where I care for pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I handle feedings, playtime, walks, and comfort for both dogs and cats every day. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my professional experience in a structured pet care environment. Whether your pet needs active playtime, gentle walks, or calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for — just like at home. ❤️ I’m available 2–3 days a week and on weekends. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust depending on your needs — whether it’s daily walks, weekend care, or occasional visits. I always prioritize safety and comfort. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special needs before starting. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and keep communication open with regular updates and photos. I make sure doors and gates are secure during visits, use leashes properly for walks, and keep pets supervised at all times. My goal is to create a calm, positive environment so your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for — just like when you’re home. ❤️
“Chinara did wonderful job pet sitting for us in our home. She updated us and sent pictures daily. She even watered our plants and did a few extra jobs around the house. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog! I would highly recommend Chinara.”
“Hannah managed to coax our three shy cats out of their hiding places and eventually even got kisses from the boy cat. She kept us informed of her progress along the way to feline acceptance with emails, photos and new toys from them. As a house sitter, Hannah dealt with Verizon FiOS when our wifi went down by troubleshooting and meeting with the technician who was able to fix the problem. And she left the house cleaner than we left it! We (both humans and felines) look forward to calling on Hannah for our next vacation.”
“John Paul did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of our fur babies and ensuring our house was still standing during our time away. He was very attentive to our pets needs, followed every instruction, and sent us frequent photos of our fur kids to let us know how well everything was going! We cannot wait to ask for his assistance again in the future, and we know our little guys will be super excited to have him back anytime!”
“Kelly is awesome. Her communication was awesome with updating me on my boys while she took care of them. I have a senior and a rambunctious 2 yr old dog and she went above and beyond with accommodating them walks. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to others.”
About: Hello, I’ve been taking care of my dog as well as my family’s and friend’s pets since I was 5, and I love all kinds of animals. I have just recently gotten out of the military and I will be having a lot of free time soon so I figured it would be the best time to take care of pets since they require a lot of attention. I will make sure your pet is properly walked and fed and played with for proper exercise daily, as well as applying any medicine needed.
About: I’ve always loved animals my whole life and I’ve owned several breeds of dogs (small and large) which has given me dog handler experience but i’ve also owned some more adventurous pets such as ferrets and birds. I currently work at a dog grooming salon where I bathe and brush an average of 4-5 dogs in a 5 hour shift so handling different types of dogs is no issue for me, even more nervous or anxious temperament dogs. I’ve never met an animal I didn’t absolutely love, respect and appreciate. Though i’m no professional, I pride myself on having experience training animals as well. I’ve been able to teach dogs, cats and ferrets basic commands and even fun tricks. Im willing to work with puppies, kittens, senior pets or pets with special needs. Boarding services may come with a professional grade bath and brush out for an additional $40 per dog OR a professional grade nail trim & grind and paw tidy up for just $20 upon request. I’m eager to meet new furry friends and provide helpful services as needed! I’m currently working part time, but i’m setting aside certain days or times to dedicate my ability to work with your pet! With enough notice I can be a reliable choice for you and your furry companion! I have a set schedule during the week which allows me to adapt to different pet related activities such as walks, feedings, play time or anything else they might need. I’m an organized, clean home kind of girl and I’m definitely a homebody so you won’t have to worry about me going out much or having any parties haha.
“Telma took care of my sweet Hank and treated him as if he was her own. She provided updates and photos and even put hit sweatshirt on him when it was cold out. He had a blast on his walks and she was very quick to Respond and provide updates on Hank. She did a great job and I would strongly recommend her to family and friends. Thank you, Telma!”

she was so good with her. she sent me so many photos and even kept me informed on her movements if she was leaving her alone. I have always hated leaving because Ali is very particular. this was my first time having her stay at home with a sitter and it was the best decision i have made. i have 2’more trips coming up and I will definitely be using her for the next trips.
Audrey did a wonderful job caring for my two pups, Ferrari and Aston! She exceeded my expectations, and I genuinely appreciated the care, attention, and thoughtfulness she showed throughout their stay. One of the things I appreciated most was her excellent communication. She kept me informed of any issues that came up and consistently shared pictures and videos so I could see how my babies were doing. Knowing that she was keeping a close eye on them and communicating with me gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. What really impressed me was Audrey’s willingness to go the extra mile. When Ferrari didn’t poop during his initial potty break, she took him out again to give him another opportunity rather than simply leaving it at that. That extra effort showed that she was attentive to his needs and genuinely wanted to make sure he was taken care of. She also graciously stayed additional time to accommodate my late arrival. She was completely understanding and didn’t make me feel bad about needing the extra time. Her flexibility and willingness to help were greatly appreciated! These thoughtful gestures speak volumes about Audrey’s character and the kind of care she provides. She didn’t just show up to fulfill her responsibilities; she paid attention to the little things that matter when someone is caring for your fur babies. Her communication, patience, flexibility, and willingness to go above and beyond made a real difference. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is attentive, dependable, communicative, and willing to go the extra mile, I highly recommend Audrey! It’s such a relief to find someone who understands that our pets are family and treats their care with that level of importance. Thank you, Audrey, for taking such great care of Ferrari and Aston! ❤️🐶🐶 I truly appreciate everything you did, including the extra potty trip for Ferrari and your flexibility with my arrival time. Those things did not go unnoticed! I would absolutely recommend you to other pet parents and would be happy to have you care for my pups again. You were a blessing to us! 🐾💕
Our Husky can be particular about who she trusts, but she took to Kevin right away. Kevin took great personalized care of our home and our dog while we were away for a week. He checked in with us often, sending photos of our happy dog. We would use him again for sure, and highly recommend him.
Natalie was absolutely wonderful! We had never used Rover or had a pet sitter before, so we were a little nervous about leaving our dogs and having someone stay in our home. From the very beginning, Natalie made us feel completely comfortable and at ease. She took amazing care of our dogs, as well as my son’s dog. She was respectful of our home, and we had absolutely no issues while she was here. It was such a relief knowing our dogs were happy, safe, and well cared for. We are so grateful to Natalie and would definitely use her again. She was kind, trustworthy, caring, and dependable. We highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for someone they can truly feel comfortable leaving their pets and home with!
During a difficult day with my husband’s surgery, Daisy reassured us that she would take good care of our fur babies. We were blessed by her prompt scheduling and personal care with our girls. With a full day and night at the hospital, Daisy made sure everything was covered at home. We are grateful for her kind way with our animals and professional manner throughout her stay. Thank you Daisy :)
Sandy was the perfect fit for our house/pup sitting needs. Our two pups loved & trusted her immediately. She was kind enough to set up a meet & greet beforehand and was sure to provide consistent pics/communication throughout the stay. 10/10 recommend! Will be using her again for sure!
Cathy did a great job sitting for our 3 year old bolognese puppy, Fair Lady Belle, for an afternoon/early evening. Belle just LOVES Cathy, and runs to the window when we tell her "Cathy is coming to play with you!" She is polite and loves animals - she and Belle have a great time playing together! Cathy is our " go-to" Rover sitter - most highly recommended!
We had a great experience with Skyler and highly recommend her services. From the initial contact, Skyler was responsive and prompt. While we were gone, we received daily updates and lots of pictures and it was obvious our pets (2 dogs, 3 bunnies and a fish) were getting a lot of love and attention. At one point during the trip, I realized we forgot to put a vacation feeder in the fish tank and I reached out to Skyler who not only fed the fish, but sent us a video to assure us he was alive and well. The next time we need someone to watch Ruby, Lucy, Peaches, Penny, Arnold, & Todd, we will definitely reach out to Skyler.
Clara was absolutely amazing with our dog, Leo, while we were away for over a week. She took such great care of him, making sure he was happy, comfortable, and well looked after the entire time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Clara was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Leo was so comfortable with her, and we could tell he was well cared for when we got back. We’re so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Minnieville is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $89 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.
As of October 2026, there are 8,479 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Minnieville. 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 Minnieville 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 Minnieville 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 Minnieville 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.
