“They had amazing communication and made me feel so comfortable while I was away from our critters. I would definitely recommend again and will be reaching out again the next time I need a sitter.”
“Autumn was amazing with my animals and took amazing care of my house. We have 5 animals from young to older, and I had full trust in Autumn taking care of them. She updated me the whole time, asked questions when necessary, and went above and beyond for my fur babies!”
“Sarah is a wonderful caregiver and took wonderful care of our canine family member. She is also very communicative, professional, responsive, and courteous. She took great care of our home as well. It was such a treat to know that there was nothing to worry about back at home while traveling. Highly recommend her and her services!”
About: Hi, I’m Sri! I’m a lifelong lover of all animals based in Red Wing, MN. I grew up around dogs, both big and small, and have had cats for over a decade. I currently have two DSH cats that are sweet, spoiled princesses. I am new to professional pet sitting but I have cared for family and friends’ pets throughout the years. I treat all animals with the compassion, patience, and care that I would give my own. I have a varying schedule throughout the year, with more flexibility in the winter months. I am proactive with keeping track of my commitments and communicating any schedule conflicts with ample notice. I am committed to keeping your pets safe and happy while you are away. Whether you’re looking for house sitting services or drop in visits, you can be assured that your pets will be given the best care.
“Ashton kept us informed daily with texts and pictures of our dogs as well as giving our dogs the comfort of staying in their own home. It truly was a great experience for our dogs and just knowing that they were well cared for. Will be using this service again!!! A+++”
About: I’ve grown up with family dogs my entire life. Because of that, I have quite a lot of experience dealing with more “stubborn” breeds like Irish Setters and Keeshonds. I’m willing to be just about as patient as it takes to truly understand your pet and all of their wonderful quirks! In the past I’ve some done pet sitting for friends over holidays- which, upon request, could include a handful of daily photos for the family missing their precious pet! If needed, I also have lots of experience washing dogs with wide varieties of coats(silky to triple coated). I would be more than happy to bathe your furry friend as long as the products are supplied! I’m currently unemployed and on summer break from college and am free at just about all hours of the day to come hang out with your pet! I wake up quite early and am available both weekdays, and weekends. Depending on your dog’s needs, I will clean up any of their messes and make sure to always be at least keeping an eye on them. Most of the time I’m there, I will prioritize keeping them company, playing with them, and caring for them. I will also take them for walks and let them outside as needed!
About: I have had a dog in my life for the last 13 years, I work from home so able to spend a lot of time with your pup😊 Down to 1 dog so would love more doggy time 🥰 Work 6-230 from home so available to spend time with your dog and let out on breaks and done early to get out for walks. I live in a townhouse so don’t have a fenced yard but do have a cable to tie out back. Also have a bigger kennel if that is needed.
About: We have had pets in our homes for as long as I can remember. I have taken care of all sizes from Bernese Mountain Dogs to Chihuahuas. I currently work from home full time. I am able to attend to your pets needs throughout the day. I enjoy walking so if you pet is up to it they will get plenty of exercise. I have several acres of land for us to explore when your pet visits. My dogs are gracious hosts and will make certain there is plenty of time for fun and games. I currently work from home and have the flexibility to give your pup attention when they want/need it. We are able to have frequent potty breaks, play fetch and go for walks as needed. I have 2 friendly pups and 2 cats that will welcome your fur baby and keep them company throughout their stay. Pets are able to wander inside my house freely. They might enjoy my comfy couch to sleep on, enjoy the view from our window seat, sunny spot on the floor. The opportunities are endless.
“Kallyn has watched our house and our Annie, twice now. Both times, she’s been great and Annie loves her! She’s helped us with things around the house that need to be done while we are gone and she keeps us updated on Annie. We especially love the pictures that we get. We highly recommend her!!”
“Kris was amazing with our two dogs! She was extreme communicative and kept us posted every day. She’s extremely professional and went above and beyond to clean up the house prior to our return! I’d recommend Kris 100 times over!!”
“Rory’s love for animals was obvious the moment he entered my home for his first meet and greet with me and Henry. Rory has a delightful personality. He is respectful annd kind, and has a fantastic sense of humor. He did a great job looking after Henry for a couple days while I was out of town. I look forward to hiring him again in the future, and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible pet/housesitter.”
About: I’ve loved dogs as long as i can remember, I’ve been around dogs my whole life, had a Labrador Retriever growing up. My passion really began when neighbors would start asking me to dog sit for them. I always knew I wanted to do something with animals (mainly dogs.) a family friend told me about Rover & I immediately knew I had to become a sitter. I am very trustworthy and reliable & easy to reach! I currently do not have any pets in my home which makes me a great sitter if your dog isn’t a fan of other dogs/animals! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your dogs & care for them. & I can take whatever time needed to watch your dogs if you preferred I stay with them 100% You can always count on the fact that your dog is SAFE. If you don’t have a fenced in yard, I will keep your dog leashed unless you say otherwise!
About: I grew up with dogs and as an adult, I have had 3 cats. Sadly they have passed away from old age. In the future, I plan on having another pet, but in the meantime, I can love and care for other people's animals! Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and take care of their pets. I do work full-time Monday through Friday, but my schedule would be available on weekends and some weekdays after 5:30 PM. Holidays can be an option also. My main values are providing safety, trust and love to your pets with respect to the pet owners. When I am with your pet you will be worry free!
“Calcifer was great with our senior dog who has some extra needs. He was very kind, caring and you can tell he loves animals. He was also great at communication, always letting us know how our dog was doing and when he was coming/going.”
“We did our first overnight with Natasha and Astrid. Astrid was very well taken care of and a very Happy girl! We can't wait to have Natasha watch Astrid again in the very near future!!!!! Thanks Natasha for taking such good care of our furbaby!!!!”
About: My family dog passed away in 2024, since then I’ve filled my doggy-shaped hole by volunteering at Coco’s Heart (dog rescue) and house/dog sitting for families in my area. I work from home, so I’m able to give your animals their much-deserved attention throughout the day! My experience ranges from young puppies just brought to rescue, teenage dogs, to senior dogs, all needing special attention in their own ways. I am punctual with medications, meals and bathroom breaks. I currently work from home, and while house sitting am able to provide around the clock care. For walks or part-time, my schedule may vary slightly. Maintaining and respecting my client’s home is of upmost importance when caring for pets. Keeping not only their environment clean and safe, but the owners as well is important to what I offer. Whether it’s expected or not, I will leave the place the same, if not better than you left it. I strive for frequent communication and avoid outside environments that may stress pets out.
“Hannah was a great communicator before, during and after taking care of our lab, Lulu. She left the house clean AND with a small vase of fresh flowers And a crocheted deer cap!! Wow what a great experience.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Red Wing 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 Red Wing 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 Red Wing 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
