“Lauren is a wonderful sitter! She takes such good care of my older girl, carefully giving her prescription food and medications. I love getting all of the updates of what they’re up to while I’m gone. Lauren spends so much one-on-one time spoiling her and giving her attention and love. I can’t recommend Lauren enough!”
“Acacia was amazing with my dogs, they loved her! She was timely, thoughtful, playful with the dogs and sent great pics. Can’t wait to have her house/dog sit again!”
“My dog was having some unexpected health issues as I was preparing to leave to work a camp. Even with plans a year in the making, it was hard to not want to cancel everything and stay with her. Abigail went above and beyond while watching Alda, and it made it so much easier to be away. There were regular check-ins, good questions, and great care. I highly recommend Abigail as someone you can trust with your pets.”
“Danialle did a wonderful job with our boys. Both are picky friends and they were so calm when we got home! Excellent with communication and I could tell that she really loved on my pups.”
“Aida was great!!! It was our first booking through Rover for our Rottie and cat. Aida’s communication was excellent even sending pictures of our guys during our time away. It was a great first experience!!!”
“Cari is great with my boyz - they settled in easily with her and she gave really nice updates while we were away. Very mature, responsive and responsible- the kind of person you want watching your fur- babies🥰”
“Brooke is a so amazing with our gentle giant and always leaves the house better than she found it. We trust and appreciate her staying in our home anytime and loving on our pup so well. She is very reliable and goes above and beyond to take care of our home and dog while we are away. We definitely recommend Brooke and will 100% hire her again!”
“Tanya was great! Gave lots of updates, videos, and pictures thought my trip. Went above and beyond and is a genuine, good human. I would definitely recommend and will use her again when needed! Thanks girly!”
About: I've taken care of animals my whole life, had animals my whole life, & love them all! From indoor pups to cattle dogs, they always love when I'm around!:) Im working part time, so have a ton of time to cuddle your pups! I can't wait to walk with them & enjoy what the rest of summer has to offer. I will not be bringing your animal into my house, I will travel to wherever you & your animal are to care & love on them!
“Erin was awesome! She was very respectful, and kept us updated with pictures and questions. She consistently let out our babies and made sure the house was clean when we got home. Thank you!!”
“Alex did an amazing job! She was great at sending pictures and updates of our dog. We could tell how loved our dog felt. He got walks everyday and lots of cuddles! Our house was in great shape after her stay too. Couldn’t recommend more!”
“Vera is everything you would want in a sitter and more. My dog is a rescue and is reactive. Vera accommodated to his whole routine, and he warmed up to her gentle warm energy right away. They immediately became close. She went above and beyond taking him on multiple walks. She communicated so thoroughly and sent me so many pictures I loved it. She is our go to sitter. We LOVE Vera!!!”
“Natasha is the absolute best! Provided great care for my cats! She took time to play and keep them busy, followed my care instructions perfectly, and provided frequent updates so I could know they were doing well. Couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter!”
“Melanie was outstanding! She was communicative, conscientious, and caring. Booking her was super easy as she keeps her calendar up to date and responds quickly. Our pooch is a senior girl and sometimes it is hard for her when her humans aren't around, but Melanie made her feel relaxed and secure. Not only was she attentive to our dog, she was attentive to our home. We have complete confidence in Melanie and highly recommend her. Thank you Melanie for taking such great care of Merlot. <3”
“Haley was absolutely incredible with Gypsy (11 yr old anxious reacue dog) and Raya (5 yr old Ragamuffin attention magnet). From the very first complimentary meet and greet, I could tell she was professional and genuinely invested. She came prepared, took detailed notes, asked for emergency contacts, confirmed which vet to use in case of emergency, and made sure she had exact medication dosages. She even asked about each dog’s specific quirks so she could support them in the way they’re used to. That level of thoroughness meant everything to me. Communication during the stay was wonderful. She sent regular photo updates and kept me posted on how they were doing, which gave me total peace of mind. She treated my home with so much care, and I came back to a house that was cleaner than when I left it. She even left the sweetest little coaster as a gift that I found after she left. It said “Sweet Kitten,” and it was such a thoughtful, personal touch. For context, I am a very cautious pet parent, and Gypsy is extremely anxious when separated from me. This was the first time I have ever left them with anyone outside of family, so I was understandably nervous. Haley handled it beautifully. Gypsy was calm, comfortable, and clearly felt safe. I did not worry once all weekend. I truly knew they were in loving, capable hands. Haley is sweet, responsible, attentive, and a joy to work with. And, for those that perhaps run a little late, Haley was able to be flexible with my arrival back home as well. I will ABSOLUTELY be booking her again and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any pet parent, especially those with anxious pups who need extra care and sensitivity.”
“There’s not enough space on this page to mention all the wonderful things about Autumn. In a word, unbelievable. She is exceptionally caring, thoughtful, and meticulous. She went well above and beyond our expectations. She’s an outstanding communicator and we knew our pet was in the best possible hands while we were away. For honorable mention, she had to manage a tree falling on her vehicle during her stay. She gave our dog an enormous amount of attention and love in addition to leaving our home in immaculate condition. We can’t thank her enough.”
“Shea was amazing! I usually have family watch my dog, so this is the first time I have had someone outside the family watch her. I felt very comfortable and at ease the entire time. Shea did an excellent job and went above and beyond. I will be using her services again in the future :)”

Rachel did a great job taking care of our baby girl and helped manage things around our house while we were traveling! She went above and beyond to help with the house and most importantly making sure our pets were well taken care of. She was very good at communicating throughout the whole trip, which helped put our minds at ease while being away!

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint Michael
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Saint Michael on Rover is $43.6 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,543 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint Michael. 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 Michael 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 Michael 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 Michael 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 99% 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.
