“Vanessa did an excellent job of watching our two boys. We were nervous about doing an overnight and she put out mind at ease. She checked in and let us know how everything went. Highly recommend very professional.”
“Marea became our hero by accepting our booking when our previous house/dog/cat sitter fell through last minute before our vacation plans! When we met, Marea was attentive, polite, and expressed comfort in completing all of our asks, including administering medication to our cat. Eventhough I'm having a great time when I vacation, I tend to worry and miss my animals. Marea was quick to respond when I checked in and was able to send me a couple photos. This put my mind at ease. Communication was great, as well as, follow-through on instructions given! My fur babies all seemed happy and healthy when I returned. Thanks, Marea!”
“Mariah was communicated well while we were gone and was very patient with our puppy Bella. We could tell she was happy and relaxed in all of the photos despite it being her first time away from us. We arrived home to a clean and tidy home. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter and will be using her again in the future.”
“Sierra is amazing! I have a lot of anxiety about who takes care of my two 80lb rescue pittie mixes (they’re my babies) and she was incredible with them! She constantly checked in which was exactly what I needed to calm my nerves. She has a background in veterinary medicine and it shows. She also made an effort to leave my home in the same shaped as when I left and clean up after my messy, big guys. Can’t thank her enough for making a stressful situation so easy. Hope to work with her again soon!”
“Danielle was awesome with our two dogs. We felt super safe leaving them with her and know they got lots of snuggles and play time. She spent a lot of time with them and made them feel very comfortable while we were gone. Would recommend 100%!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was a child and have a friend who is a vet if I have any questions that arise that I can’t readily answer. I can safely bath and administer medication if needed. My little dog is my whole world so yours will be too. I like to be able to provide piece of mind for people needing a sitter they can trust with a member of there family. It’s as important as if they were one of your children. I can crate your dog if you bring one. I live in a very secure property and work in the area so I am always close by.

About: I bring two years of vet tech schooling and a genuine love for dogs and cats, offering safe, attentive, knowledgeable care that keeps every pet relaxed and happy. I'm currently working part time so I have lots of free time to care for your furry loved ones. My availability is pretty flexible for the summer :) I have a fenced in yard and 1 dog who is friendly and crate trained. I’m attentive to noise, stimulation, and comfort, especially for pets who may be anxious in new environments.
About: I have taken care of pets for 8 years as if they are my own and that is how I will treat your furry family member too. I do currently work full time, so care is best in the evenings or weekends. Overnight care and play dates drop ins can also be best on weekends and evenings. I will care for pets in your home under your direction, and will not sway from it. I will be sure of you are gone your furry family member’s schedule stays as consistent as possible.
About: I have had pets my whole life with different personalities. I currently have the most energetic dog with the biggest heart and personality and love him to pieces. I have taken care of my friends animals on numerous occasions. I work a full time job. I am willing to drop in before work and after work. I have my weekends and every other Friday completely open. I have a condo so not a lot of room so I am willing to drop by and take care of any animal. I take my pup on walks and play with him. I show him much puppy love and will treat any animal the same love.
About: I've taken care of, trained and loved animals since I was little. Growing up that infatuation grew into a dream to have my own kennel and business. Now I own and operate Pawsitive Journey, so in a way uou could say that dream has turned into a reality. I'm experienced with a wide variety of behaved dogs, puppies and more. Don't be afraid to reach out. When your fur babies are in my care, they will be treated and cared for as family. I'm currently self-employed through Pawsitive Journey, so I will have plenty of time to provide your pet with the care, attention, and playtime you want and expect. I have a 6+ years of handling and caring for animals in general and would be able to provide the most comfort and the most exhilarating time while you are away, depending on what your pet requires.
About: Guaranteeing love, attention, and compassion when you need to step away from home regardless for length of time or reason. I am highly dedicated to my families and their furry family members. I add a touch of difference with the care I provide to all of the animals I work with in that I treat each one individually and never work in a "cookie cutter" approach. I started working with and training animals (horses and dogs) at the age of fifteen. Throughout the years, my interest and passion with animals grew, as well as my experience. I currently have two dogs, a german shepherd and a very entertaining rescue mix. With my german shepherd, we are a K9 team with a search and rescue organization where we are called upon by law enforcement only for people who go lost or missing throught the upper Midwest. I still currently train dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, in addition to training service dogs through an individually owned local business. Due to my long-term experience, I am able to adapt to your pets' individual needs with age, both young and old. I am trained in pet first-aid and CPR, and I am comfortable with any prescribed medical care needs you may have necessary for them. I truly enjoy building a sincere bond and connection with each family I encounter so that when they step away, they can feel at ease and enjoy their time without distress or worry. Topnotch care is my priority! I have decided after many years of working in the financial industry and family care industries, that my remaining years, I want to follow what was my childhood dream. Working with animals! With my many years of experience, I always adapt my care to each of my pets needs. As I previously had mentioned I don't believe in "cookie cutter care" approach. I tailor my care to each pets individual needs and concerns.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Cloud
This is the second time we’ve had Crystal sit for us and she was fantastic. She communicates well on how our pups are doing and keeps us updated on anything out of the ordinary. You can tell how excited they are to see both her and her daughter by the pics and videos she sends. We know they are in the best of care and we come home to some pretty happy dogs. They even got some bonus homemade treats from her this time around which they have been enjoying!
Sierra was wonderful! She took on house sitting last minute for us to travel to a funeral. I knew right away during the meet and greet my dogs were comfortable around her! Sent lots of updates and pictures during the 3 days. Also, can barely tell she was here (lol)- the house was left how she found it. Thanks so much- we will be contacting you again to help with our dogs!
Our dogs were well-cared for by Kenzie. She went above and beyond taking care of them and some things around the house that needed tending while we were gone, such as our outdoor plants. Our airplane was delayed and she was willing to stay a little longer with our dogs so that they weren’t home alone for many hours until we were able to make it home. Thanks, Kenzie! We appreciate you!
Echo did a great job taking care of our animals! I appreciated their obvious affection for our pets, their sending updates and photos of our fur babies while we were gone, and how they went the extra mile to keep our house clean by taking out the trash. I would definitely book them again in their future!
Ben did another amazing job caring for our pets while we were away. We even had a new addition to our home, a tripawd shepsky mix and Ben accommodated the third dog very well. All of our animals love Ben and he's so great in taking care of the e needs. Highly recommend Ben as a sitter.
Siona stayed with my elderly dog and cat in my home for a recent long weekend, and I cannot commend her enough for the wonderful job she did! She is thoughtful, responsive, respectful and very caring. My older dog has some ongoing tummy issues, and she kept me informed, gave him loving care, cleaned up his accidents, and woke up in the middle of the night to check on him. I will 100% use her services again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint Cloud
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Saint Cloud on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 123 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint Cloud. 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 Cloud 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 Cloud 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 Cloud 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.

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.
