“Ryan saved the day. I was nervous about traveling with a senior dog at home in less than perfect health. Ryan kept me apprised throughout the duration of my trip, and gave a level of reassurance that my dog was in good hands. No offense to my former boarding kennel, but I wish I met Ryan years ago. Thanks again!”
“I highly recommend Karina for any of your pet sitting needs!! Karina is very caring, professional and detailed oriented. She took great care of our dog and cats and provided timely updates with the greatest pictures! I will definitely be asking her to take care of our pets and home again in the near future. Thank you, Karina, for the outstanding service!”
About: I live with my 12 year old Australian Shepherd named Bailey, a 5 year old orange Tabby named Pickle, and a 3 year old tuxedo cat named Fern. I love animals of all kinds and would like to use my love of animals to earn extra income. I will provide treats, attention, and positively reinforced gentle training. I'm responsible with animals and enjoy teaching tricks, manners, verbal and non verbal cues. I've never met a pet that I couldn't love! It makes me sad that our sweet pets are home alone missing us while we are at work, so hire me! I've been called a 'dog freak' more than once. Please let me work with you and your pets. I'll be waiting!
“I highly recommend Sammie! She took such good care of our two dogs while we were on vacation. She sent photos every day and we knew they were in great hands. She is a true professional and we’ll definitely use her again.”
About: I have owned Dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, rabbits, rats and more. Also have delivered puppies. I’ve always had animals growing up! I am very flexible on time and don’t mind making multiple runs or walks. Grooming is an option as well, boarding. I can and am willing to do a wide variety of requests. Experienced in training dogs and general health of animals. If I don’t know something specific, I am more than happy to do the research and educate myself properly to fulfill any questions or requests. Prices are also negotiable so don’t hesitate to give me a call at anytime. I look forward to hearing from you. Currently have a a flexible schedule. Available most times and days. Feel free to reach out with any specific time requests. I would be glad to help. I have a fenced in area for the dogs, cats are in home as well as kids. If animal does not get along with any of these, I will not accept.
About: 🐾 Pet Care Experience I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, and I truly love what I do! I’m experienced with all aspects of everyday pet care, including feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Recently, I had the opportunity to house and care for two golden doodles for two full weeks, where I was completely responsible for their daily needs and routine. This experience strengthened my ability to provide consistent, dependable care while giving pets the attention and companionship they deserve. I’m also a proud cat owner myself and absolutely adore my kitty! 🐱❤️ Because of that, I have a huge soft spot for cats and genuinely enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and needs. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, daily visits, overnight care, or plenty of love and attention while you’re away, I’m committed to treating every animal like they’re my own. 🐾 My schedule can vary a little from week to week because I work as a soccer coach and travel around the Southwest Metro for practices and classes. That said, I currently have a pretty consistent weekly schedule and am happy to share my specific availability for any day you’re looking for! I’m also very flexible and love working with families to find a schedule that fits their needs. Whether you need a quick drop-in, a walk, or someone to spend more time with your pets, I’m happy to work around my schedule whenever I can. I’m always open to communicating and figuring out what works best for you and your furry friends! 🐾💕 I’m happy to care for pets in their own home and always do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while their owners are away! I especially enjoy in-home pet sitting because pets tend to feel most comfortable in their own familiar environment, and I’m more than happy to spend time with them, provide walks, playtime, meals, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box care, and lots of love and attention. I also understand that caring for someone’s home comes with responsibility, so I treat every home with the same respect and care I would want for my own. While I’m open to different arrangements, I currently prefer caring for pets in their home rather than hosting them at mine, as I live with other people and have limited space. I’m very flexible, though, and would love to work with you to find whatever arrangement works best for you and your pets! 🐾💕
About: Working in the pet industry for almost 2 decades, you can trust it’s my passion to take care of your pet. It’s my greatest joy to spend each day with animals. I’m available between 1 and 2pm everyday, then again from 5pm- 8pm. Weekends I’ve dedicated entirely to for pet care. I love having a full schedule. I can use any type you’d like. Crates, kennels, leashes, harnesses, etc. At my own home, we use only a 6ft lead in the yard. No kennels.
“Jade took great care of our house and dogs while we went on vacation. She sent us pictures of the dogs and followed the instructions for care that we left for her. She was very communicative and let us know when she was going to arrive. Thank you!”
“Vanessa was an outstanding caregiver to our dog. She communicated with us frequently with text and pics. My very shy dog warmed up to her quickly and she kept our house totally neat and clean. Would highly recommend.”
“Kayla was amazing with our Phoebe girl! She checked in often with updates, and we were able to enjoy a worry free vacation. Our skittish dog is easily stressed, but we were sent pictures of her snuggling, having fun and loving her new friend!”
“Hailey is the best. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and amazing with my two pups. She does a great job of taking care of your home and your pets. My doggos are both rescues, both have their own quirks, and both of them are very selective with humans. But they loved Hailey the moment they met her; and seeing them in the pictures Hailey sends me, I can tell they love having her stay with them.”
About: I have cared for every breed of dog from small terrier to beagle to st Bernard's and pit bulls since the age of 8. I am a lifelong pet person who has cared for both family members pets, my own pets, as well as the pets of friends, neighbors and collies. Worked extensively with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, snakes and fish. I have an incredibly flexible schedule as I work remote and am able to fit in most times of convenience if scheduled ahead of time. I have dependable transportation and can work from anywhere in the twin cities (or country for that matter) if the job called for it. I am a retired military veteran having honorably served 20 years in the MNARNG. I have served both overseas and domestic tours. I am a proud community activist, veteran advocate, and behavioral and cognitive skills trainer. I have degrees in law enforcement and criminal justice, as well as certificates in private security. As I mentioned I have flexibility in my schedule and just need to be notified in advance of when my services are needed. Dog walking I can drop in and provide such service anywhere in the cities, and times are flexible if notified in advance My home has two levels, plenty of space, a balcony and fenced in front yard. I have a backyard as well. The home is clean and can ensure the pets continued safety and comfort. I am willing and able to commute to pet sit in the event of a client working or being out of town. There is a cat in my home who is good with other animals and very friendly himself.
“Haley was an amazing pet sitter! She took such great care of both our dog and our cat while we were away, and it gave us so much peace of mind. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which we really appreciated and loved receiving. When we got home, the house was spotless! Our pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Haley to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy pet sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking her again.”
“Sarah’s was great with my very senior Jack Russell Terrier. She was also on time for each sit which is very important to me, and was flexible and very good natured about a change in plans. A very good house sitter!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care I bring to every pet. I’ve had my cat for 8 years and have cared for family dogs, giving me experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to caring for my own cat every day. I make time for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and attention. I’m also flexible with my schedule and can make time for visits and care based on each pet’s needs and routine. I care for pets with patience, attention, and consistency. In a client’s home, I follow their normal routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ll also respect their home, keep things clean, and make sure their pet feels safe and comfortable while they’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was a teenager. Growing up, I was always jumping in to watch our neighbor’s dogs when they would leave for trips or weekend getaways (a Golden Retriever & Chocolate Lab). In my family, I grew up with a Cavalier Cocker Spaniel, as well as 4 cats in our home. More recently, I lived with my sister for 2 years who owned 2 Great Pyrenees. I’ve had experience helping to take care of dogs of all sizes, and from different families & homes, as well as cats. I truly love animals and would love to help take care of yours. I currently work in a hybrid office, with 3 days in office/2 days at home. My hours are fairly flexible, so am able to spend time in the mornings with your pet, and can come home by 3pm to wrap up the rest of my day. For dogs, I’m able to take them for morning and/or evening walks to get plenty of exercise throughout the day. I live in an apartment and keep this space very well cleaned and managed. I have a large, fenced in porch and at my apartment, there is plenty of green space around the area, as well as a little dog park at my apartment, and in my neighborhood. I live near very active lakes, so am walking distance to plenty of paths for needed exercise for your animals. Additionally, I worked as a cleaner for VRBOs all throughout my college years, so if I’m caring for a pet in a client’s space, I’m very intentional about making sure your home is care for just as much.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Benedict
Katherine was AMAZING! She gave each one of our fur crew individualized attention. She took extra care with our 13 1/2 year old Leonberger. She did great at giving him his medicine and helping him move around. She asked very detailed and thoughtful questions and sent the best pictures. She has great instincts. Without a doubt I'd hire her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint Benedict
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,596 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint Benedict. 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 Saint Benedict 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 Benedict 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 Benedict 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.
