“Lisa was exactly who we were hoping for as a sitter for Buddy. It was our and his first time overnight and she made it very comfortable for all of us. We received some fun photos of Buddy as well. Lisa gave us a full report when we got home. The best news was seeing Buddy going to the door after Lisa left and he was asking us when is she coming back! Highly recommended!”
“Sarah was excellent, and great last minute help.! She made time to meet myself and Rocky prior to sitting which I appreciated a lot. She was very trustworthy and made me feel comfortable leaving my Rocky with her!”
“Jenna, did a fantastic job. Took a huge weight off my mind. The dogs loved her and she even brought them to the hospital to visit. And when I got home, the place was spotless!!!! Thanks Jenna”
About: My mom’s friends have always trusted me to watch their pets. I have had to take care of senior dogs including my own having to give them their pills. After work on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and the weekend until I can make enough money to do this full time! I want to be a able to quit my current job to do this full time! Giving them enough attention whether it be playing and taking them for walks getting them outside as much as possible. Feeding, bathing, training. Making sure to not leave them alone too long.
“Jessica was absolutely amazing. My two pups loved her, and she took such good care of them. I loved the photos she sent of them while we were away. I will definitely be using Jessica again!”
“Patty is the BEST! We have a hard time leaving our girl Georgia, but with Patty here we are able to truly relax on vacation and not worry a bit about her or our home which is a gift! We know Georgia is being loved and probably spoiled more than when we are home. Patty sends lots of updates and pictures and it is a comfort to see how relaxed and at ease Georgia is. A bonus is that Patty is just a super friendly and easy going person - we're so happy we found her to take care of Georgia when we are away! Thank you Patty :-)”
About: Hi! My name is Ryaan, and I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. Animals have always been a huge part of my family, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I also worked for several years at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic care, supervising playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Your pet will be treated like family in my care! 🐾 I currently have just a few 1 hour classes a week on just Mondays and Wednesdays and am home for the most part otherwise making me available for your pets. -fenced in yard -home frequently -able to provide long walks and lots of playtime -safe home (mostly pet proofed) -stairs are needed to be taken to get up to the house and down to the backyard
About: I have grown up with pets my entire life. I currently have 2 dogs that are my life:) They are walked daily and sleep with me. They are part of my family! I currently teach and will be home all day starting this summer. I am home every night as well as on weekends. Your dogs will become part of my family. I live in the country and my dogs have the run of the backyard to play and have fun. If I would be caring for your pets in your home, this would depend on your directions. I would start them off on a leash until they are comfortable with me.
“Zhy was an amazing dog sitter! She was caring, reliable, and kept me updated the whole time. My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly well taken care of. I really appreciated her attention to detail and how much love she showed my pet. I would definitely recommend Zhy to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Rachel was amazing. Great communication throughout the whole process. We hesitate leaving our sweet, old boy alone but had no qualms after meeting Rachel. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“We had Bryanna stay at our house to watch our puppy for a few days. She did come by to meet us and Luna ahead of time to get to know Luna and her schedule. Bryanna did a great job with our puppy Luna. She communicated back and forth as well so we were able to know how things were going while we were away.”
About: I grew up from childhood in a family with dogs around all the time. I’ve had my boy Jordy for 5 years now. He’s husky just like I had in my teenage years. Training him went super well and it’s been one of the best experiences of my adult life having him around. He gets along great with most all other dogs and loves kids. I absolutely adore animals and I've been a nanny for several families over the past 10+ years, where I've cared for pets as well as children whether just on a normal daily basis or while the families were out of town. I'm currently a freelance photographer and I generally work from home most of the time which offers me a good bit of flexibility and free time to take on some odd jobs like pet-sitting and or childcare. I have a fenced in yard and a high energy friendly husky to play with. I also drive a 4runner that'd be easy to load up and take a couple pups to the parks nearby and/or it’s a great neighborhood to go for a long walk/run.
“Emma is amazing! I loved that she wanted to meet me and Lacey before she accepted a job. It was important to her that we were all on the same page. I was able to talk about Laceys needs and routine in person, which really made me feel at ease. When the weekend came for her to stay at our house I was completely comfortable leaving Lacey in her care. She gave me updates and pictures which was great. Thank you Emma!!!!”
“Tarah was amazing with our quirky doggo. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Tarah provided updates and loved on our pup while we were away for a family getaway. Upon returning home, we could tell puppers was anxiety free and our home was in excellent order. 1000% would use Tarah again.”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets for 20 years. Old pets included. I have no issues with giving medication needed for pets or bathing them if needed. I am a stay at home mom of 1! So I have plenty of free time to hangout and take care of cute fur babies! I have a fenced in yard that allows for safe roaming around. Plenty of green grass to roll around and enjoy. Great neighborhood to take dog or cats on walks.
“We are so grateful to Tanya for taking such good care of our 2 hihuahuas and our indoor/outdoor cat. Our dogs have had a difficult time with prior pet sitters but for Tanya quickly had become trusting and affectionate to her within just a couple of days. Tanya left the home in a remarkably clean condition. She is very professional and excelled our expectations. Thank you, Tanya! She is now our goto petsitter. 😊”

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint Cloud
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 277 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Cloud. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
