“Olivia was absolutely wonderful!!! This was our first time having someone petsit for us through Rover and we were pretty nervous. We have an anxious Aussie, two older cats and two ferrets - so it's a lot. She immediately eased my nerves by sending lots of pictures and updates the entire stay and the pets warmed right up to her! Also it was SO NICE to come back from vacation and she had tidied up the house and brought in our packages for us. She will definitely be our #1 choice for taking care of our pets from here on out.”
“Ciboney was the sweetest house guest and took such good care of our elderly pup. He is a older and nervous but still thinks he is a puppy so boarding him at a friends or pet hotel doesn't work with his nerves. She was polite and helpful even when the power went out for a day. Don't hesitate to work with her!”

“We really lucked out finding Amy! She accommodated our last-minute request and immediately put us at ease with her understanding of Milo’s reactivity and his individual needs.

“Hisham was a great house sitter,he stayed at my house and took care of my dog and three cats. His communication was excellent, I received daily photos of the pets. He walked my dog every day and snuggled the cats a lot. He was very responsible, and one of the best things was before we got home he not only stripped the bed but washed the sheets and re-put them on, and vacuumed the house! Very impressive, will be using him again for sure.”

This is the second time Abigail has kitty-sat for us! She is absolutely amazing with our kiddos! She is very trustworthy and both my husband and I are very comfortable leaving our kiddos and our home in her care. She gave us updates every day. Abigail will be kitty-sitting for us again in a few weeks and we have no problems leaving her in charge! Thank you Abigail for everything you did for our kiddos and for my husband and I! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Angelica is an EXCELLENT dog sitter!!!! We booked her for house sitting for a week while we were on vacation. She gave great, detailed updates and pictures and I knew my dog was in great hands with her. I would recommend her to others and I would definitely book her again!
We couldn't have asked for a better pet and house sitter! She kept us updated every day with messages, photos, and videos of our pets, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We especially loved hearing about what was happening around the neighborhood, including updates on a woodpecker that visited our back deck. She went above and beyond by offering to take out our garbage and water our plants, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Our dog enjoyed daily walks, and our cats received plenty of snuggles and attention. It was clear that she genuinely cared for our pets and our home. We returned to happy pets and a well-cared-for house. We highly recommend her and would gladly book her again!
Divya stayed at my house with Loon for 2 days. She was wonderful, knowledegable, communicative, and very organized with logistics! We went on a walk for a meet & greet and Divya handled my 90-lbs dog extremely well, she was able to anticipate and pre-empt any moves Loon might have made. She left the house in great condition and Loon was peacefully snoozing when I arrived back at home. I would 100% work with her again!
Allison did such a great job watching my dog, Cali. Cali is an energetic girl who loves attention and it’s clear she got it. I received regular updates with photos and videos of her being loved on and entertained as well as comfortably napping. I am so pleased with Allison’s care.

The average cost of House Sitting in Saint Anthony is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $77 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 Saint Anthony 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 Saint Anthony 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 Saint Anthony 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 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 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.
