“Olivia was great-super attentive and always quick to respond. And was really flexible with my crazy holiday schedule, which was very appreciated. Looking forward to having her stay with Carl again soon!”
“Gabe stayed at our house with our dog over the Christmas holiday and did a wonderful job taking care of her, including taking her on a lot of walks and giving her a lot of affection. He was very communicative throughout the process, including sharing helpful updates and photos during our trip. It can be hard to leave your dog in someone’s care and it made such a difference to know she was in good hands with Gabe. We would trust Gabe to stay with her again without hesitation!”
“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.”
“Cari was a fabulous pet sitter. She communicated well and we were very happy with the care she provided our goldendoodle. Definitely will book with her again and recommend others to.”
“Thank you, Ciboney! We have 2 little dogs who like a lot of attention, and Ciboney gave them so much love, sent photos, gave updates and was all in all very professional and easy to work with. We will definitely contact her again in the future.”
“Lauren did an excellent job watching our senior dog! He requires several medications throughout the day and she took wonderful care of his needs! She was great at communicating with us and she sent pictures daily. The house was neat as a pin when we arrived home! We would highly recommend her to any pet parent!!”
“Helen was so sweet from the moment we met, and very on top of things. She not only took great care of our five cats, but also my many plants. The cats took to her instantly and we were able to vacation without any worries because Helen frequently updated us and sent us pictures all the time.”
“Kaiden 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!!”
“Sergio did an AMAZING job! Our pug was well cared for and he left our home nice and clean for when we returned. Sergio was very responsive to messages and also sent us several pictures while we were away. We will definitely use him again!”
“We have a dog with a lot of anxiety and a cat that is apathetic about humans. But Kari won them both over!!! She is an incredibly caring person that obviously loves animals. She has my highest recommendation!”
“Kendra was amazing! She stayed at our house with our two dogs. She sent lots of pics and updates and was able to walk them at the same time (they’re 50 lbs and 90lbs). The house looked great when we got home and the dogs were happy. Could not recommend her more!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 8 or 9, mostly family dogs to start. I have also house sat for not only family dogs but friends as well. I work at a doggie daycare facility currently, so I am familiar with dog behaviors and care. I currently work full-time in evenings, so that gives plenty of morning time for walks and cuddles. I am available for both boarding and daily care most of my week and always try to be flexible with clients. I love to have animals be as comfortable as they can be in their owners home, whatever that might look like. My goal is to make the clients and dogs as comfortable as possibly while building trust and good relationship.
“I’m extremely pleased with how things went when Karen watched our dog, Valere. She was attentive, sent me photos daily, and made sure she was giving our girl the best of care! I loved her open communication and felt that I could ask her any time about how Val was doing. I will absolutely be requesting her to watch Val again. Shes our favorite sitter now! There’s nothing better than to be able to leave and know your dog is being taken care of the way you would do it yourself. I highly recommend Karen!”

I love taking care of dogs so I will be available for long and short-term house/dog-sitting/ A little bit about myself: I love hiking and taking pictures of nature as well as everyday life. I am excellent with pets of all kinds as well as children. I am outgoing, responsible and fun. It is important to Note I do take a lot of dog photos but I don’t have one many good quality of me and the dogs. So you’ll see bunch of dogs with no me in them. I am happy to provide references that are both local and outside of the Minneapolis / ST. Paularea upon request. I have experience babysitting and dog sitting for many years. I look forward from hearing from you.
“We recently had Ashley come & stay with our dogs for a few nights. She was very communicative, our dogs were happy, & our house was just as we left it. We didn't worry about a single thing, that definitely added to the enjoyment of our get away! We’ll definitely hope to be able to book her again, soon!”
About: Proudly rocking three years' pet sitting experience during college caring for cats, dogs, and reptiles. I grew up having hamsters, lizards, a hedgehog, and cats. I just adore animals. Full-time Twin Cities actor with flexible daytime availability, seeking fulfilling side work—nothing makes me happier than caring for your adorable fur babies with love. Unfortunately animals are not allowed in my own due to my roommates allergies but I would treat caring for your fur baby in your home as if it was my owns with the upmost care and respect.
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. I’ve 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. I’m 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.
“Despite the difficulty of my anxious dog, Geneva was very attentive and kept me informed throughout the day. She was very patient with my does needs and did a great job taking care of them.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Oaks
Tiffanie was awesome!! She stayed in close touch with me while I was on a 5-day trip following a complicated eye surgery for my cat, Leroy. She stuck closely to the med regimen and took wonderful care of him. I’d definitely recommend Tiffanie. She’s definitely worthy and more of 5 stars.
Repeat customer and so happy to be one!!! Sarah is amazing with our dog who is....somewhat high maintenance (think bad on walks, not always accepting of new people, etc), old grumpy cat, and guinea pig. She does it all! Not to mention she talks amazing care of our home when we're away! Highly recommend!

The average cost of House Sitting in North Oaks is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $58 per night.

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 North Oaks 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 North Oaks 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 North Oaks 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.
