“Lauren did such a wonderful job housesitting/dog sitting. I loved getting photo updates multiples times every day. My pug had a great time with her and I know she’s looking forward to her next “vacation” with Lauren!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Enrique! From the start, his communication was excellent. He was quick to respond, clear with details, and kept us updated throughout the stay. He arrived exactly when he said he would and made sure our two dogs felt comfortable. We really appreciated the photo updates. It was so nice to see our dogs happy and relaxed while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Took great care of my dogs while I got to see some of downtown jackson hole. Dogs got to explore the top of the mountain, killed their energy so they could relax the rest of day. Dogs loved hanging out with her.”
“Cory was awesome: very communicative and consistent in updates, he let us know whenever he would need to leave the house for a little while (which was also communicated ahead of time), and kept our place clean. Very capable and confident, which is especially needed for one of our dogs who tends to be more reactive. I’m so grateful we went with him and we genuinely look forward to using his services again in the future!”
“My dog and I fell in love. Andrea is amazing. I feel so comfy on vacation because she is an excellent sitter for my Kayce. My pitbull was in heaven! She is the best. Highly recommend.”
“We were in search of a new dog sitter after our previous sitter graduated from college and left the area. After a brief meet and greet we decided to move forward with Kendra as our dogs were very comfortable with her from the time she entered our home. We received updates and photos when we were away for the weekend as well as a hand written note thanking us for allowing her to care for our dogs. Kali and Thundar appreciated the personalized dog treats that were left on the counter for them to enjoy. Kendra went above and beyond caring for our dogs and home. Our house was neat and tidy when we returned. (possibly cleaner than we left it). I plan to use Kendra for our 2 week vacation this winter. Thank you Kendra!”
“Another excellent trip with Elaine watching our reactive pups! She gets that they are super slow to warm up and even worked on some socialization with her new puppy. Excellent!! Thank you! We will book again.”
“We hired Claire to house sit or home for three days. She made us immediately comfortable, taking notes and asking appropriate questions during our pre-service walk through. She sent pictures of our “boys” (one dog and one cat) each day so we knew they were okay. We have scheduled Claire for an upcoming vacation and are confident that she will take great care of our “boys” and our home.”
“Very happy with Jade’s care and stay at our home. She brought a caring calm that was great for our dog. She was respectful of our home and followed our tips for the dog care. We’ll be booking with her again!”
“Despite the difficulty of my anxious dog, Geneva was very attentive and kept me informed throughout the day. She was very patient with my does needs and did a great job taking care of them.”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs for a few years for friends, family, and neighbors who relied on me to walk them and feed them and just keep them company I am currently available anytime during the week so I have plenty of time Monday through Friday to hang with your pups and bring them on walks I have a back yard and I have a dog that will give your pups some company that loves to go on walks and play
“Hope did a great job watching my dog Charlie. She was communicative and gave him a lot of love and special attention. She picked up the booking with only a couple days notice (life saver) and even made time in her day to make sure to give him a walk - even walking him on the day that we got home.”
About: My dogs have always been very high needs growing up, so I have a lot of experience working with different diets, medications, and needs. I'm an athlete, so I can take them out for long periods of time to get exercise as needed, which can be really helpful for hyperactive dogs who have to be cooped up during the day. I'm also entirely capable of caring for senior dogs, I can take things at their pace and make sure they're comfortable and happy. I am currently a full time college student, but I have a lot of open time either between classes or after them. I commute to the Twin Cities from the suburbs, so I can easily travel wherever I am needed to be able to check in on or take care of your furry friends. Being in the cities with my own car I can take dogs out for walks around the lakes or down some of the trails nearby so they (and I) can get some proper exercise before my classes. When caring for pets, I always make sure they are getting plenty of time to move around, especially if I'm just dropping in to check on them, but regardless of the need. I like to keep a checklist of what I need to get done, as well as just having a bit of time to play with or pet them. I can take pets out for walks on foot or with my roller skates, which lets me go longer distances with them. I make sure to clean up any messes I might make, putting everything back as I found it and keeping things nice and tidy for when you get home again. I'm confident staying in new places, and can make sure everything stays safe in your home or space during my time there.
“Annika was very sweet on our first meeting.. She asked all the right questions on care and expectations for our pups while we were on vacation.. I got daily pictures, she took our dogs to their favorite park and sent more photos.. Very nice to work with!”
About: I have had many animals growing up, and have dog sat many many dogs before! I love taking care of animals and playing with them! I am a stay at home mom to a 4 month old looking to make some money! I love animals and love watch and take care of them! House is always clean and taken care of. No trash laying around and nothing an animal could get into that would harm them. We love animals!
“Gabby watched Winston (in-house) while my family was away for spring break. Winston is a high drive vizsla and can be quite a shock to people that aren't use to their relentlessness and lack of recognition of personal space. After meeting Gabby we knew Winston would be in good hands though. Gabby sent us updates (including pictures) and was quick to respond when we check-in. If you need someone to watch your pup, we definitely recommend Gabby!”
About: I’m a dependable pet lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to follow each owner’s instructions closely and give their pet the attention they’re used to. I’m patient, responsible, and will always keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your dog is in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I keep my availability updated so l only accept bookings I can fully commit to. I have flexibility for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and plenty of one-on-one time with your pet. I'm also happy to work around your dog's usual feeding, walking, and potty schedule so their routine feels as normal as possible while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort will always come first. I carefully follow each owner's instructions, keep dogs secure on walks and during outdoor time, and pay close attention to their behavior and individual needs. I want every pet to feel relaxed and cared for, not simply watched. I'll also send regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Saint Michael is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $64 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
