About: I have taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, and fish. I like to make sure the animal is having as much fun as I am. I am currently job hunting until I start college during the second semester so I am free all hours. I can update you as often as you want about your pets. Every hour to once a day it's up to you. I have job shadowed at a vet clinic a few times so I put the animals safety first. I won't pressure or force your animal to do something they don't want. This means that I will spend time with them so they trust me to attach a lesh to go outside. I don't prefer to handle animals at night because they tend to be more cautious but I can if needed.

About: I have over two years of hands-on experience providing loving, dependable pet care, including drop-in visits, in-home dog sitting, and dog walking. I’m lucky to have several amazing regular clients and truly enjoy building strong bonds with the pets I care for. One of my absolute favorites is Remy, a playful white Labrador I’ve been trusted to watch for over a year, he always keeps me smiling! I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have four of my own, so caring for pups is second nature to me. I’m passionate about making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I am currently in school in the mornings and work in the afternoons however I am usually done by 6 giving me the whole night to hang out with your pup! I love being able to give dogs my full attention, whether that means extra playtime, long walks, or just keeping them company and making them feel comfortable and loved. Because I have four pups of my own at home, I do not offer pet sitting in my home. However, I am very comfortable caring for pets in your home, where they can stay in their familiar environment. I’m happy to keep your home tidy, follow your routines, and provide your pups with plenty of companionship, attention, and love while you’re away.

About: I work remotely in marketing full time. We’re very grateful to have a nice home with a wonderful, large, fenced-in backyard that allows the dogs to go potty in and explore (bark!). My availability and hours are very flexible and the dogs are rarely left alone or kenneled, they are free to roam the house, I just close doors as necessary. I have never owned a dog of my own, I just grew up around dogs and cats. Mainly and most recently, it was a sisters two dogs our family spent the most time around: Gibbs (15 lb., 13 yr old, male Jack Russell Terrier & Beagle mix) and Zero (65 lb., 5 yr old, male Standard Poodle). I would basically Rover for her and her husband, which including giving the senior, anxiety-ridden dog meds (he didn’t enjoy, he would spit them up). We enjoyed being outdoors and evening walks around the neighborhood and having them a part of our family. They have then since moved to the West coast with their dogs. I work remotely and am blessed with the work-life balance it offers. I have an energetic elementary school-aged daughter. She's an empath and truly cares for all animals wellbeing! She's deeply concerned about any discomfort or distress. We have a dog-friendly orange cat named Buddy (4). He's fed first thing in the AM and enjoys chin scratches. He stays nearby me in my office or does his own thing. My daughter buses to and from school and I take a hour lunch at noon, then am done at 5 PM and we go about our evening routine. Dogs go out every few hours (sliding patio door) to the fenced in yard or when they signal me. Right in the morning and before bed. I try to get as much activity in for us as possible, especially on decent weather days. We utilize a nearby parks, dog park and walking trails in our community. Having the dogs here really motivate me to go for more walks, the dogs love them and I appreciate the eager walking company. I also live with my younger sister (23). She works full time 2 jobs as a CNA/retail, isn't home much but does help me care for the dogs, such as a short walk around the block. Our home is a 4 bed, 3 level split with a finished basement. It has a large secure, fully-fenced in yard and the property has 11 trees. Garage is attached. We all sleep in the upstairs bedrooms which is also where my office is. I have 2 litter boxes for my cat, one in garage that he prefers. The other is in the basement bathroom, where I can keep the door shut (Ive caught sisters dog eating litter covered turds). Our neighborhood is very safe and quiet. I have a reflective sash I wear out at night (this summer I was nearly ran over by an SUV when it was dark). The dogs usually sleep on the floor in my room and it's OK if they sleep on the bed, I am not concerned about fur. If the dog stinks, I can give them a bath either downstairs in the wash tub or upstairs in the bathtub. If they stay longer and start to stink, I will bathe them, because everyone feels better after a bath.

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up with five at a time—mostly black labs and black lab/German shepherd mixes—so I’m very used to bigger, stronger dogs. My dad often took us to dog events when I was a kid, which gave me plenty of experience handling all kinds of breeds and personalities. Along the way, I also picked up basic training skills, so I know how to keep dogs engaged, cared for, and comfortable. I’m currently a full time college student but I would be able give pet care in between classes during the day and some some weekends as needed When I care for pets in your home, I always follow their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and playtime while keeping things consistent with their food, walks, and sleeping schedule. I’m happy to reinforce any training or commands you use, and I’ll keep your home tidy while making sure your pet always has fresh water and a cozy space. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy and cared for.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other animals for about five years! I started out by dog- and house-sitting for families in my neighborhood, and eventually, word started to spread. Before long, I was being reached out to more and more often to care for dogs, bunnies, hamsters, cats, and guinea pigs! In May 2025, I got a puppy of my own named Goose. Once Goose turned one, I decided to join Rover so I could expand my experience and have the opportunity to help even more pet parents with their animals’ care. I understand how hard it can be to find a family friend—or simply someone you know and trust—to watch your pet. Sometimes, when that option isn’t available, people have no choice but to turn to an app like Rover and trust someone they may have never met before. Because of that, one of the things I pride myself on most is providing a detailed description of EVERY pet visit, along with a possibly excessive amount of pictures! I know the anxiety that can come with leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I do my best to be reliable, trustworthy, and communicative. I want every update I give you to make you feel like you were there in person, while making sure you’re always kept in the loop about how your pet is doing. At the end of the day, I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands, getting plenty of love and attention while you’re away! Pet care fits in perfectly with my routine. I am very responsible when it comes to other people’s pets and am very flexible and available. In my home, someone is almost always around. My dad works from home and I have school for a minimum of 2 hours in the morning. In my clients homes, I take time out of my day to spend time with their animals, and work according to the animals schedule, not mine.

Breanna is amazing! She was so sweet with my 14-year-old dog. She was sweet and came to meet us before our trip, and my dog took to her right away. She left our house just as clean, if not better than before she arrived and even washed her own sheets! We will absolutely recommend her to others and reach out again should we need a dog sitter in the future.

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 September 2026, there are 1,608 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Benedict. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
