“Olivia took wonderful care of our dog, an energetic two-year old pup. She did a wonderful job of staying in touch with me with questions. I would definitely ask her to care for our dog in the future!”
“Hands down, this was one of our best pet sitting experiences! First of all, her communication prior to every meeting/obligation was fantastic. Exceeded expectations. Always on time fir in person commitments. Secondly, she was fantastic with our dogs. Sent us pictures, walked them regularly. Lastly, she took out our garbage, brought in packages and left our house in better shape than she found it. I would without hesitation seek out her services in the future. You can’t put a price on peace of mind while being away from your pets. She exceeded our expectations at every turn. Thank you!!!”
“Emily is a loving and responsible caregiver for our aging pup. She provides us with regular reassuring updates and lots of photos. I have 100% confidence Aspen is well cared for when we are away which is why we have booked with her multiple times.”
“We used Alissandra’s services for our cat while we were on vacation. Very responsible! Great communication! Gave Kiwi so much love and attention and sent lots of photos. Felt he was in great care❤️ Would definitely recommend and would use again!”
“Elizabeth takes the absolute best care of Mia! It’s so nice to have someone great to take care of your furry friends while away and know that they are well taken care of and having a great time!”
“Noelle was incredible with my two dogs over July 4th! She was very communicative and made me feel at ease to be away knowing they were in good hands. One of my dogs has extra health precautions from previous back issues, and Noelle handled him incredibly. She helped them both feel safe during fireworks and storms that occurred while I was away. I couldn't be happier to have chosen Noelle to stay with them!”
“Amber did a great job sitting and taking care of my dog! She was attentive and kept me well informed. I would definitely recommend her and would love to have her sit with him again in the future”
“Connie is an incredible house/Cat Sitter. She took care of our kitty like she was her own and did the same with our home.. Every day we got pictures and videos and could tell that Connie was really interacting successfully with our somewhat shy, sweet pet. We could not recommend her more highly! She is a gem!!”
About: I have 16 years of personal pet care experience with my Morkie, Maxwell, who was a beloved part of my family from puppyhood through his senior years. I cared for his daily needs throughout every stage of his life, including feeding, walks, playtime, grooming, and making sure he was comfortable and well cared for as he got older. Maxwell absolutely loved going for walks, which was perfect for me because I also love being outdoors and staying active. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and am a very compassionate, patient, and attentive caregiver. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I will treat every pet I care for with the same love and attention I gave my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule and spend much of my week at home, which gives me plenty of availability to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I love being outdoors and staying active, so I especially enjoy having a furry companion join me for walks! I also have the flexibility to spend plenty of time playing, giving attention, or simply keeping your pet company while you are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I am very attentive to instructions and will follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications or special needs, and household rules. I understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level, so I am patient and will give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable with me. I am also happy to send regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you are away.
About: I’ve been around animals all my life, including horses and cows so it’s 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! I’m currently working part time and make my own schedule so I am very flexible. I’d like to take Sundays for myself so I’m not typically available, but I’m 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!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mounds View
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!!
Emily was courteous, professional, and timely. She left our house clean and tidy, even did some laundry we never asked her to do, and took great care of our dog and two cats for a last minute booking. She even worked on teaching our dog a new trick, and kept good communication the entire stay. I would highly recommend her for your next trip!
Anika was great! She was able to handle our two EB who tend to be high maintenance. This was our first time leaving them with a sitter so I was a bit nervous for my pups and Anika. However she a champ through the potty behavior and zoomies! Our house was in same order as we left it. I definitely will use her again if she’ll have us!!!
Maddy is a super star. I had already been out of town for several days before my husband joined me for a long weekend. While I was gone, Bella laid by the door waiting for me to come hom. I was worried about how she was going g to be with both of us gone. Enter Maddy. Bella had a blast. Every photo or video she sent Bella, and our cat Taz, were smiling. I felt absolutely relieved and comfortable knowing Maddy was with them. Bella is having an issue with one of her legs and occasionally needs an anti-inflammatory. Maddy saw Bella was struggling a little and started her on the meds. So observant and caring. No new travel plans yet, but you can bet we connect with Maddy before we book anything else!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mounds View
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mounds View on Rover is $72.19 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 3,486 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 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 Mounds View 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 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 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 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 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.

- 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.
