“Maria did a great job taking care of Charlie. She also made sure the house was exactly like we left it. The only glitch was a problem with her schedule that delayed her initial arrival. I would definitely use Maria again.”

“Kacy did a fantastic job with my dogs. She took my high energy pup on daily walks which was great. She kept my home clean & tidy and even washed my sheets and remade my bed before I got back. Will definitely use her again!”

“Donovan always does an amazing job with our pups! He makes sure to always communicate with me throughout the visit and even bought my pups a treat (asking me first!) He makes sure my pups get the best care whenever he watches them! I would highly recommend him!”
“Second time we have used Erin. She is very good with our babies! Gus needs daily medication and is also terrified of thunderstorms, which she had to deal with one night, and she handled his needs very well.”


“Marie was such a fantastic cat sitter for my two cats, they absolutely loved her! They were so content when I got home, I know she took great care of them. She sent me so many pictures of them too which I greatly appreciated. I can’t thank her enough for catsitting for me and will no doubt ask her back anytime!!”

“Aleida was so good for Miss Kitty. She gave me frequent updates with pictures. When we returned, Miss Kitty came out to see us much sooner than she normally would. She has great knowledge of cats. My house was in order and she had started the bedding from where she slept. I would definitely use her again.”


“Melissa had great communication and took great care of our Labradoodle and Beagle. The weather was nice so our beagle was in and out constantly. Beagle shenanigans! We will definitely use Melissa again. I couldn’t provide additional feedback since it was grayed out but house was as we left it with no issues. Thank you, Melissa!”


About: I have both personal and professional experience with dogs. Not only have I grown up with my own pets, but I also work at a kennel and doggy day camp. I’m working to become a service dog trainer, but have expanded my knowledge of dogs to include basic baths and nail trims as well. I currently work part time at a kennel, so I’m usually away from home for 4+ hours on Tuesdays. However, I have an amazing family who also has some experience watching other pets and they often help out when I need to leave for work. Pets aren’t often left alone for very long. I also work a few other days, but they are consistent hours. Should my clients board at my home, I have a fenced in backyard on a half acre, ensuring that dogs have plenty of space to run. I often continue my days as normal as possible if pets are present for consistency. They are under a close watch from a family member most of the time. When at a client’s home, I try to ensure that the dog’s routine is as stable as possible. I will sometimes take some time off depending on the length of the stay to be better present for the dog.

“Charity was amazing! She stepped in and helped us when we needed someone to come and take care of our dogs last minute. She showed care for our home, make sure the dogs were cleaned up a little bit after having a muddy time outside, and just show them love and care while taking care of them! We will definitely be using charity again !”

“Marissa was great! She is such a nice person, and I was able to enjoy my time out of town even more, knowing that my dogs were happy in our home. She sent pictures of our dogs each day, and when we arrived home, she had put a cute autumn scene on our tv to greet us.😊”


“Kim was amazing with our elderly bulldog. We received tons of photos and updates throughout our trip. I would recommend Kim for anyone looking for great pet care. We would definitely book again.”

“Allyson was great with Sadie. She is normally a shy dog, but she warmed right up to Allyson and was cuddling with her in no time she kept me updated throughout the weekend and sent lots of pictures. Would definitely recommend using Allyson to take care of your dog she is great”

I am currently in school right now and am looking to spend my winter and summer break taking care of animals! I am available almost everyday of the week!

About: I am a dedicated and experienced pet sitter with a lifelong love for animals. Since the age of six, I have always had one-often two-dogs in my home. Over the years, I have also cared for fish, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters and ball pythons. I've been fortunate to share my life with many wonderful dogs, including a Lhasa Apso, Cocker Spaniel, Golden Retriever, Boykin Spaniel, Yellow Labrador Retriever, Black and Tan Coonhound, Pit Bull Mix, and a Boxer. From puppy care and training to senior dog support, animals-especially dogs- have taught me patience, compassion, and responsibility. Now newly retired after a 30-year career in hairdressing, I have the time, energy, and love to dedicate fully to caring for pets as if they were my own. I care for pets in their own home to ensure they remain comfortable and stress-free in a familiar environment. I follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime and medication if needed. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment while also respecting your home and your pet's unique personality and needs. I maintain a clean and safe space, monitor your pet's behavior and well-being, and communicate regularly with updates, photos, and messages so you can fell confident and at ease while you're away. Your pet will be treated with the same care, patience, and love I give my own
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who’s never known life without a furry best friend by my side. I’ve cared for pups of every size from tiny Pomeranians you can carry in one arm to giant Great Danes that think they’re lap dogs! I grew up on a farm surrounded by six dogs of all different breeds, so I know how to handle big packs, big energy, and big personalities. Dogs are truly my happy place. Whether your pup is a playful ball of zoomies, a gentle giant, or a sweet cuddle buddy, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. Long walks, belly rubs, playtime in the yard, or just lots of cozy snuggles I do it all, and I do it with a smile! 🐾 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday: Available after 4 PM 🐾 Wednesday & Sunday: Fully available all day! 🐾 Flexible for early mornings, evenings, and weekends just ask! I work part-time from 8 AM to 4 PM on weekdays (except Wednesday), but I’m happy to work around your schedule to give your pets the love and care they need. Ensuring the safety and well-being of your pets is my utmost priority. While I do not provide boarding services at my residence, I am fully committed to delivering attentive and professional care within your home. Whether through dog walking, pet visits, or check-ins, I adhere strictly to your instructions and maintain a calm, secure environment to ensure your pets feel comfortable and cared for in your absence. You can have full confidence that your beloved animals will be treated with the highest level of respect and dedication.

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint Paul
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Saint Paul on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,099 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.
