“Rachel was awesome! She was great at communicating and kept me well updated while I was away. My pup was happy and content in her care. She was super flexible with my last minute scheduling. She did an awesome job.”
“I had a great first experience with Penny! She was on time, sent updates and photos, left my home the way she found it, and seemed happy to spend time with my pups. Will definitely have her back.”
“Mary was SUPER. as soon as I reached out to her, she offered to come by to meet Leo and see our home. when she was with Leo, she noted his anxiety (due to unexpected local fireworks) and gave him the med he needed. She communicated when needed. We REALLY appreciate her!”
“Christine went above and beyond taking care of Callie and Cosie! She scheduled a meet and greet a couple days prior to us leaving for a long weekend. The sister bichons took to Christine immediately which is very unusual. They are high maintenance with some house training issues. Christine met their needs like a champ! When we got home the dogs were calm and happy. I told Christine she is the “dog whisperer”!”
“Hailey did a great job staying with our husky with separation anxiety for the evening. Not only was she available at the last minute but was very. communicate and helpful! Would recommend and use again!”
“Liv was a great dog sitter! Even with a little hiccup that was out of everyone’s control, they were focused on caring for our animal and left the house cleaner than when they got here! I hope to use Liv again for future dog-sitting gigs.”
“Thanks for taking care of Marley. We appreciated all the updates and all the photos!! We can tell he was well taken care of because we came home to a relaxed and happy dog.”
“Rachel was amazing! She did a great job with our cats and dog. We unexpectedly needed a second overnight pet sitter, she was quick to respond to my request. Thankfully, it worked with her schedule. It was a relief to know someone familiar with our pets was able to care for them again.”
“Kristina is ah-ma-zing! She sends multiple videos/photos during the stay, and obviously loves working with animals. She’s excellent person and we will rebook with her in a heart beat”
“Judith did a great job with our two dogs. She sent frequent updates with pictures, spent lots of quality time with the dogs, and left our house perfectly clean and tidy. Would be happy to book again.”
“Michelle did a great job with my 4 animals. Took them and their care in stride. Shared the right amount of updates and made it feel good when I got home, everything was as tidy as I'd left.”
“Melissa was attentive with my pets, and they were very much at ease when I returned. She has a great deal of experience with animals, and she clearly enjoys being around critters of all kinds. She was a pleasure to talk with, and I wouldn’t hesitate to contact her again.”
“Beth was awesome. She took loving care of our 5 year old dog and 14 year old cat. We got pictures every day and updates on them. We already have her booked to stay with our crew in December! So glad we found her”
“My dog is somewhat high maintenance, and Kari was very reliable and caring. She was able to give him his medicine and take care of all his needs, and I had no worries about leaving him with her. When I came home, he was relaxed and resting. Exactly how I like to see it.”
“Chioma took good care of our dogs. The two dogs were rescued a few months ago from a puppy mill, and have special needs due to how they had been treated. Chioma understood their needs, and upon our return, the dogs were thriving even more than before we left. The house was clean and everything in order. Thank you Chioma!”
“Gave excellent care and attention to our dog, including giving needed heart medication. Appreciate her sending videos of his walks and play time. Kept our house neat and clean.”

“Camille and Jordan were fantastic with our house and animals (elderly dog, cat and rabbit)! They were prompt in responding and making sure they had the information needed to take the best care of our animals. They were on time and communicated with us as needed. Our animals are our babies and they seemed perfectly comfortable and happy with Camille and Jordan so we will definitely be booking again!”
“Ava did a fantastic job caring for our 2 yellow labs for a weekend. She sent us an update and photos. We had a meet and greet prior and all the communication was spot on. I highly recommend Ava!”

Mary did a great job with my teeny, tiny chihuahua! Sassy (yes, she is) was well taken care of and I was given peace of mind while I was away. Mary sent me some cute photos and was very communicative in every way. Also, I honestly think my place looked better when I returned than when I left! If you need someone to stay with your pet, Mary is a very good choice!
Paige saved me. I had booked her Tuesday - Saturday, but found out I had to be on a plane on Monday, instead of Tuesday. She came to the rescue and was able to adapt to my last minute change! Her upbeat friendly attitude helped take my stress away and her gentle, kind way with my pupster eased my guilt for having to be gone. She sent me twice daily check ins with photos and I knew my dog was in good hands. Home now and the house was tidy and my dog is napping. Couldn't ask for more!
Liv was the epitome of a loving dog person! My husband and I went out of state to a destination wedding where there was little cell reception and Liv was so communicative by sending updates morning, afternoon, and night for our two dogs. Liv took the time as well to make sure our house was in pristine condition when we arrived home. Overall, Liv did a wonderful job in dog and house sitting and we would for sure use Liv again!
Kristina went above and beyond for our two dogs. Ziggy is not easy at all but she took the time and put in the energy to help him get comfortable for over a month and is the first person that’s ever been able to watch him and Albus together. Truly amazing experience and unbelievable care and commitment to our dogs.
Hannah was fantastic! She is a great communicator both prior to and during pet sitting. We and our dog felt very comfortable with her right away at our “meet and greet” and knew she would be great for our long weekend away. She was punctual, clearly played, went on walks and gave lots of affection to our dog, and sent us regular pictures and updates. She even went above and beyond and did a few house-care things for us like watering plants and emptying the dehumidifier in the basement. Thank you, Hannah for giving us such great peace of mind while we were away.
Christine went above and beyond taking care of Callie and Cosie! She scheduled a meet and greet a couple days prior to us leaving for a long weekend. The sister bichons took to Christine immediately which is very unusual. They are high maintenance with some house training issues. Christine met their needs like a champ! When we got home the dogs were calm and happy. I told Christine she is the “dog whisperer”!
We could not be happier with the care our dog received. Our dog is anxious and takes many meds. Our dog requires a lot of patience and attention and Jessica was absolutely amazing with our dog! Frequent updates and pictures gave us real peace of mind and kept us at ease. Jessica made our dog feel safe and comfortable! When we got home, our dog looked taken care of and our house looked cleaned and piked up. We highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter! PS - It was dry and hot outside and we asked Jessica to water out plants. She agreed without hesitation.
We were hesitant to find a sitter for our pup via Rover as we only have left our dog Douglas with family/friends in the past, but we are so glad we found Erica! With her background as a groomer, she knows how to handle dogs very well, especially bigs one who has bursts of energy! She was very responsive, trusting, and kept us updated pictures! Would definitely book with her again!
Rhys was wonderful! He kept us updated with adorable photos, took great care of our dogs, and left the house very clean. We felt totally comfortable knowing everything was in good hands. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog watcher!

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint Paul
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Saint Paul on Rover is $51.36 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 3,468 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
