âAnika is so sweet and was great with our pups! She arrived on time, was very accommodating to our needy pupsâ schedule, followed all instructions, left our home clean, and even left flowers for us to come home to after our trip! We will definitely be contacting her again in the future!â

âThe pups came home happily tuckered. Samantha went above and beyond to help make our weekend away so much smoother. I know that the doggos we were well taken care of while we were gone. đâ

âWe had a very positive experience with Carolina. We were out of town for almost two-weeks. She sent us a video/pictures daily. And we were in communication if needed. Our dog had some challenges coming in and Carolina seemed very experienced and knowledgeable about dogs. She listened, met with us and felt confident that she could watch Tofte. We felt so relieved and comfortable traveling knowing Tofte was in good hands. All went smoothly, Tofte did awesome and credited that to Carolina. We highly recommend Carolina. We will be contacting her in the future.â


About: I have had pets most of my life. I've experienced the highs and lows of loving another critter. I would love the opportunity to be a positive for your critter, pup, or cat while you are away. I will provide loving care and attention to your loved ones. I am an elementary teacher. I am able to travel to your location before work (7am) and after work (3pm) most week days and available for weekend beginning Friday at 3pm until I have a large 4' and 5' fenced yard with trees on a nice corner lot. Lots of space for running, playing, and lounging in the shade or bathing in in sunlight.
âHire these ladies!!! I cannot say enough good things about them. Hailey stayed at the house with Soda, CJ also came over to play and let him out. The communication was outstanding & pictures were a plenty. What was even more wonderful for this worried mama, it was so very clear, Soda was loved. My husband and I both looked at the pics sent, and said that is a happy boy! Our dog was taken care of (spoiled đ) as if we were there. Our house was perfect when we got home. From the very first meeting, I was comfortable, and my mind was at ease - Soda immediately took to them, Hailey sat on the floor playing with him the whole time - he was bouncing between Hailey & CJ, so excited to have new friends! So am I â¤ď¸â

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I've always had pets, cats and dogs. My family and friends always have me care for their pets when they need to go out of town or need extra help. I'm always happy to help as I truly do enjoy the connection I have with animals. I have a schedule that allows me to have several days off a week, have a reliable vehicle and I am open to different situations as needed. I would put the safety of the pet's home and their well being as a top priority and make sure to be thorough. I would communicate any concerns or questions with the pet owner.
âAbby was amazing! She is smart and kind and really knows animals. She sent us pictures and videos and really kept us knowing that our animals were being well cared for. She was a great communicator and was very flexible with us. Her dog Winnie is also a wonderful playmate for our dog. We will definitely be booking with her again!â

âKaiden was amazing!! He sent so many pictures and updates even though we were only gone for a day. We came home to three very happy and very healthy pups. Will definitely look to book Kaiden again in the future!!â

âGretchen was awesome, she sent me daily updates and photos. She walked them and took them to the dog park. They were clearly well taken care of - maybe a tad bit spoiled - which is exactly what I wanted! The house was clean, poop picked up, and clean sheets were on the bed when we got home! One of my dogs has a pretty intense fear of unfamiliar floor surfaces, so overnight daycare for a week where she can't escape it leaves her feeling exhausted and stressed, this was the perfect solution. I am definitely going to book Gretchen again!â


âEvelyn did a great job taking care of our furry child. We appreciate the somewhat short-notice booking and everything went really smoothly. I would highly recommend booking Evelyn if you're in need of pet care!â

âRebecca took excellent care of our pup and house while we were on a 2-week vacation. Our dog was so happy and content, she hardly noticed when we arrived back home. And our house was every bit a clean and today as we left it. I highly recommend!!â

About: Iâve been around animals all my life, including horses and cows so itâs safe to say I am comfortable with pets of all kinds. Im around dogs and cats most of the time these days and I enjoy playing tug-o-war or tease-pole and scratching chins, ears and fluffy butts! A few more things: -Im comfortable helping new puppies/kittens/adoptees learn any house rules and practice manners with positive reinforcement. -Im capable of administering medication with proper instructions. -Im capable of assisting elderly and/or disabled pets with a gentle touch Please reach out with any questions! Iâm currently working part time and make my own schedule so I am very flexible. Iâd like to take Sundays for myself so Iâm not typically available, but Iâm open to making special exceptions in an emergency so please reach out if needed. Your pets safety, and comfort is my top priority. I will always strive to not only meet your pets needs but make our time together something your pet looks forward to!
About: I have had my own dog since I was 4. I also have been a dog sitter for many of my neighbors for years. I have experience with frequent visits during the day and overnight sitting. Iâve also had experience with special conditions such as giving medication and caring for pets who are ill. For example, my dog needs ear drops and allergy medication, so I have experience with those types of medication specifically. I also have experience cat sitting and caring for other pets, like small rodents or snakes. Currently I am working full time, hybrid, with two days in the office. Iâm available for visits during the mornings and afternoons/nights during the week or weekend. I will be more available during the holiday season as well and can sit for an extended period of time if you are on vacation. I have a cat at home so I cannot provide home services, but I am available for house sitting! I have done many extended stays and have the luxury of working from home, so if your pet needs to stick to their schedule, I can be there.
âWe didn't know Julie beforehand except for doing a brief meet-and-greet, but she stayed at our house with our small dog for a long weekend when we were traveling, and did a great job. I always worry about my little pup who is very shy and attached to my wife and me, and has a hard time warming up to other people. She was shy and probably confused at first, since this was only the second time we left her for the weekend, but she clearly warmed up to Julie after the first day. Julie was great about promptly responding to our messages asking how things were going, and sending pictures and videos. She kept our house very clean and even took out the trash and washed our bedding before we got home. I would definitely hire her again!â

âMelissa was attentive with my pets, and they were very much at ease when I returned. She has a great deal of experience with animals, and she clearly enjoys being around critters of all kinds. She was a pleasure to talk with, and I wouldnât hesitate to contact her again.â

âRachel sat for our 5 month old puppy! Our puppy is very scared of everything/everyone. Rachel was very gentle with him and he warmed up to her. She sent pictures while she was with him. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!â


About: I've cared for dogs, cats, and small animals my entire life, both my own and for friends or neighbors. Working in environmental conservation, I naturally love animals and being outdoors, and I volunteered at a shelter for several years. I enjoy exploring local trails and would love to bring your dog on a run or hike whenever I get the chance. I live near a dog park, and I bring fresh water and waste bags on every trip. I am attentive to all your pets needs and can administer basic medications. I work part-time in the evenings so will have plenty of time throughout the day to feed, exercise, and care for your pet! I live in a standalone house, my neighborhood has trails and a dog park, and I have a large yard. I like taking long walks and making sure your pet gets their energy out. I go above and beyond for you and your beloved pet, sending photos and checking in with you regularly. They will have plenty of space in my home. If I am house sitting, I care for your home as well, including cleaning or bringing in your mail. I have a green thumb so will be attentive to any plants you have that may need care, too.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mounds View
Anika was wonderful! I couldnât be more grateful for connecting with her. This was our first time leaving our senior dog with someone other than a family member and I was very nervous about it. Our meet and greet put me at ease and I was able to enjoy the time away with no worries. She sent pictures and updates. She was very respectful of our home. I will definitely connect with her again.
Jessica was amazing! We have a nervous dog that usually takes awhile to warm up to new people, but he took to her right away! She took him on multiple walks and took great care of him in our home. She also sent multiple updates and pictures so we had great piece of mind while we were gone knowing he was comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend her, we will definitely be booking with her again!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mounds View
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Mounds View is $75 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $111 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 petâs 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 November 2026, there are 3,460 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mounds View. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs 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 Mounds View walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Mounds View 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 Mounds View 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.

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.
