About: I have experience with several breeds of dogs and different types of animals. My Macee is a 4 year old Frenchton! I have previous experience with cats and goats. My previous Boston Terrier, Angel (and she was an Angel❤️) unfortunately passed away from cancer in 2025 so I also have some senior/disabled pet care experience. I currently work full-time with children so some dates are limited but I am happy to help when/where I can! My availability is typically every other weekend but I may be able to make an exception where needed. Don't hesitate to ask! I currently do not have a fenced in yard so I am only offering drop in/pet sitting in the pets home at this time.
“As usual Trinity did a great job taking care of our furry kids. I got a lot of pictures and updates! And we always appreciate knowing what they are up to when we are not home. Thanks so much!!”
About: With four years of professional kennel experience, I understand that every dog has unique needs and personalities. I go beyond basic pet care, providing attentive, personalized care that gives your dog the comfort and routine they’re used to as if it were you. From playtime and exercise to medication management, I bring a trained eye to every detail, ensuring your pup is safe, happy, and stress-free. I’m always excited to make a new furry friend and treat them like family! I am currently a student at Ball State University with a part time job. I am looking to eventually quit there and continue doing something I have a deep love for which is animals. I only have classes a couple hours a day with an hour break around noon. I am looking to fill up my mornings and evenings with a care that I deeply enjoy and am passionate about! For house sitting, I stay overnight and follow the pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. I provide companionship, keep the home clean, and send regular updates with photos to keep the owner informed and reassured. For drop-in visits, I stop by three times a day for about 20 minutes each visit. During each drop in I handle feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and basic care, while making sure to send detailed updates and pictures after every visit.
“We are always scared to leave our dog with a stranger, but Sammy did great!! She updated me each time she went over and sat with him for a while so he wasn’t alone for so long. Will definitely book again in the future!”
About: Experienced dog, cat, and pet owner with lots more love to give! I was raised with pets and have both cats and dogs as an adult. I’ve extensive experience with different breed types and temperaments and believe that all pets are deserving of love and care. I work from home full time, so your pet is sure to receive plenty of playtime and cuddles! I’m kind, patient, honest and responsive. Does your pup think scooters are monsters? Does your cat need to take medicine? Don't worry - I've got you. I have a full time job with lots of flexibility, so your pet will be well cared looked after no matter what day it is. I'm fully available on weekends. The most important thing for me is to establish and build trust not only with your pet, but also with you. As a long-time pet owner, I know how scary it can be to leave your fur baby with a stranger. Ensuring that everyone is comfortable and happy makes the experience better for everyone.
“Shakarra watched our 2 dogs and 2 cats for 2 weeks. I’ve never been away from them for that long. She kept me up to date and was very responsive. I appreciated having someone in our home who everyone was comfortable with. She came over 2 times before actually staying to make sure things were going to work. My dogs took to her immediately. I ran into some travel delays but Shakarra was flexible and kind enough to do an additional stop by to make sure everyone was good. She tidied up the house before she left which was icing on the cake for our arrival home. I feel so grateful to have found a great pet sitter on the first go around.”
“I couldn’t be any happier with the care, attention and communication we experienced last week with Rick!!! 5 stars all the way. Our 17 year old dog is dead with declining hind leg usage and Rick’s home was the perfect place for him to explore. No steps, fenced in yard and a very caring and knowledgeable care giver. I will definitely hire Rick again! Highly recommend!”
About: I have been around and grown up with pets for my 28 years of life. I have experience with puppies, dogs, kittens, cats, also fish, farm animals. I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was a teenager. I enjoy making sure your fur babies are happy, safe, and stress free while your traveling or away! I am currently working a full time job but I only work 14 days a month. I am able to be away from home for extended periods of time due to not having children or many home responsibilities that my spouse cant handle! I always will provide timely potty breaks. I am able to clean up any messes made in the home to the best of my ability, I will be sure to stick to any schedules given to the best of my ability and if im not able to offer them I will inform the client so they can choose how to proceed! I treat others home like my own and ensure the best outcome possible!
“I highly recommend Samantha. She was very diligent in caring for a somewhat complicated schedule for several types of animals. When we returned the animals were happy and well cared for. She also house sat for us. She is very respectful of our property and the house was left in immaculate condition! We could not have been more pleased and it is such a relief to have someone we can trust with our animals and our home. Hire Samantha! You will not be disappointed.”
“Lo took great care of our dogs and the house. I will be using her again and highly recommend. My dogs take a minute to let new people in their circle and she did great with them. They loved her!”
About: Hey, my name is Bailey and I love working with animals. I grew up on a farm with horses, goats, chickens, but most importantly cats and dogs. When I was a kid my grandparents bred puppies and I would help take care of them. Moving forward anytime someone needed help feeding and walking their dogs I volunteered. I have dog sat many times and had dogs come to my house a few times as well. I have one dog myself, a pit mix named Goofy. I work part-time and am off on Mondays and Wednesdays. I start work at 8am almost everyday and get off at either 1pm or 2pm except Sundays when I get off at 3:30. I'm available for overnight stays and can walk and feed your pet both before and after work. I consider myself very active and will be happy to take your dogs on plenty of walks. I can walk around your neighborhood or take a quick trip to a nearby park. I love playing with dogs and cats, especially laser and fetch. I love fetch. I have a special needs cat and I make my own food and treats for my dog so if your animal has any dietary or medical requirements I will happily rise to the occasion.
“Hannah was very flexible, meet n greet, and is kind, confident, and understanding. She clearly has experience with loud and large dogs as well. I would trust her to watch the dogs again!”
“Kelly was the perfect choice for housesitting my pets. She had her hands full and graciously attended to each pet and their certain needs. My oldest pup had a little separation depression and wasn’t eating a lot so she made her some chicken and hand fed her some nuggets and gave her extra assurance to make her feel okay! I would highly recommend this sitter! She took great care of my pets and my house!”
“I had a family emergency and Andrew was available at the very last moment to watch our two labs. I had already met him because I booked him for October. I knew when I met him our girls would be well taken care of. He has really helped me out during a very tough time and I can’t possibly recommend him enough!!! He is just a really nice person who you can trust with your pets and your home!”
“I got photos and updates daily. Kari even vacuumed and ran the dishwasher. My three dogs enjoyed their time with her and I was able to enjoy my time away knowing they were able to stay home with a reliable person . Highly recommend”
“Ally was absolutely wonderful with our sweet boy! She took great care of him, took him on many walks, kept us updated throughout the weekend, and sent lots of pictures. Our boy felt right at home with her and he has made a new best friend. We highly recommend Ally for any dog sitting needs and we will be using her again in the future. She treats your home and pets with love and like they are her own.”
About: I've had dogs for over 12 years and have been volunteering at local shelter for two years. Dogs are my passion. I love spending time with them. The only reason I don't have any at this time is because I travel a lot. My hours are currently very flexible. I have time during the week and on weekend and I am available upon short notice to sit or walk your dog. I have no pets of my own currently. I will happily watch your dog at your house or walk it in your neighborhood where it's comfortable.
“Marek stepped up to the plate and accepted a last minute day care request. My dog had a riotous day playing with his dogs and got more than his share of exercise. Marek's rates are very low and don't reflect the care that he gave to my grateful pet.”
About: Whether your dog needs a fun walk, overnight boarding, daycare, or drop-in visits, I'll provide the same love, attention, and care as if they were my own. I've been taking care of dogs since a young age. I am an animal lover. Growing up I've owned over 10 dogs. I will treat your fur babies like my own. I love to cuddle, play walk etc. I love animals! I will take care of your fur babies as if they are my own! We will play and go for walks! They will be comfortable and in a safe space until you return! I have had dogs of my own all my life! They just want be loved like we do! So why not love them! I take great joy in walking with them and playing catch! Most dogs are like little humans that can't talk! But they will definitely get their point across. We will be on a schedule of eating and go outside to play and potty. My drop off and pick up times are from 6am-7:25am, 12pm-1pm and any time after 5 Monday-Friday. (can be flexible just let me know the time ahead of time) Saturday and Sunday pick up and drop off anytime. we will play and have fun.

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint Paul
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 234 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saint Paul. 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 Paul 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 Paul 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 Paul 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.
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.
