“Kellie was able to be a dog whisperer with my little pups! She wore them out and loved on them in the best ways possible during her stay at my home. She communicated well and was reliable and respectful throughout her stay. I adored working with her and will certainly enlist her services again!”
“Alexa did a great job house sitting for 2 dogs and 2 cats. Everything was well maintained, communication was constant, and there were no surprises when we arrived back home. Really great sitter, would highly recommend.”
“Zoila was great with my dog Tristan, got pictures when I wanted/needed them on my trips and I could easily tell that Tristan was loved and was given the attention that he needs. Can't wait to rebook for all my future trips”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person than Marta! She took care of my dogs while I was out of town, I knew they were in great hands. Marta is incredibly caring, attentive, and professional. She went above and beyond to ensure my pups were comfortable, happy, and well-cared for, and it was clear they adored her.”
“I would highly, highly recommend Kristie! She did such an amazing job with our dog Josie, who had just lost her sister a few days before we went away. Kristie made sure that Josie was comforted and had all the extra love and care so she didn't feel lonely. We also received daily pictures and updates so we knew Josie was well taken care of. Having lost a dog before we left, we were uneasy about leaving Josie behind. But Kristie made us feel 100% like Josie was in the best hands and we knew she genuinely cared for her like she was her own. That was very meaningful to us. And, when we returned home, Kristie left a very thoughtful gift for us, which was a plant in memory of the dog we had just lost. I can't say how much that meant to us. Again, highly, highly recommend Kristie!”
“She was extremely incredible with our 3 weenies who are still working on potty training! Would 100% use her again. She is super accommodating and kept us updated throughout the week. Finally had a stress free vacation thanks to her!”
“Omg best furkid sitter ever!! It's always nerve racking when you move and have to find someone you trust with your furkids and we couldn't be happier we found Wendy. She is sweet and caring. She was so good with the girls. The neighbors saw her and thought she was a family friend walking with the girls the way she treated them and was with them. She is extremely clean and considerate. She kept us updated with photos and messages. Cannot say enough good things about her!”
“Zarina was wonderful. She made sure Rambo was fed and cared for while I was out of town. She was thoughtful and did extra things for him and for my home that I hadn’t even asked. Would def recommend. ❤️🙏”
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and in college I looked after my roommates' and friends dogs of all sizes and temperaments ranging from pomeranians to german shepherds. I've also housesat pets for extended periods of time. I'm currently freelancing, so I have ample time to look after and entertain your pets! I'm available on weekdays to housesit from 8am to 6pm! On the weekends, I can walk your pets or even take them out for a couple of hours weather permitting. I will ensure that your pet is taken care of just like how you would care for them! I am very proactive regarding communication, both positive and negative, and I make sure to ask clarifying questions if I have any doubts to ensure I understand the pet's needs and requirements! I live in the suburbs so my environment is very quiet, however I do not have a fenced backyard so I would prefer not to host any pets unless they are mostly indoor animals.
“Stephany is amazing! She is very kind and communicative and sent us updates and pictures every day! I felt like she loved my pets like they were her own! She went above and beyond and I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Brandon took great care of our pets and sent photos to keep us updated. He was great with both of them! After a couple days, we completely relaxed knowing they were well cared for. They were excited to see us upon our return but we could tell they’d been loved.”
About: I've been taking care of pups for over 15 yrs now. At first my own pups, but then I would help out friends and family with their pups while they went on vacations and/or traveled for work. My family says I have a kinship with dogs as most dogs naturally get a long with me. Sometimes I can calm the most excitable pup and have them relax in my lap. I work pretty early in the morning. I'm usually home by 10-11 am. I have a pretty good schedule regarding feeding and potty breaks. I tend to take the pups out for walking and play I have a fenced back yard and a dog park near by. I can take your fur babies to the park or on walks regularly. I currently have 2 pups myself, they are well trained and have a pretty steady routine (food and potty breaks). They get along well with other dogs, no biting or aggression. They do set boundaries though. NO humping.

“This was our first experience using Rover and it was great. We have two dogs, one of which is sometimes anxious, so we didn't want to board them in a strange environment. Keri did a great job taking care of them and was even willing to feed and water our chickens and collect eggs.”

“Tanya is absolutely pawsome! She is a dog LOVER, I'm pretty sure my baby got more affection with her than she normally does!

Tanya made me feel beyond confident, comfortable and calm while I was out of state. She is great!”

Lindsey was absolutely amazing with my dogs! She took great care of them, kept me updated, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It’s obvious that she genuinely cares about animals, and my dogs were happy and well taken care of when I got back. I really appreciate everything she did and would definitely trust her with my dogs again. Highly recommend Lindsey!
A'Lauren did a fantastic job caring for Bodie and Peyton! She was very communicative, provided regular updates and photos, and it was clear she spent quality time with them. We felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands while we were away. We would absolutely book with A'Lauren again and highly recommend her to others.
Kylee truly went above and beyond! She cared for my dog and my home as if they were her own and she took the time to understand my dog’s specific needs and routines. I’m incredibly grateful for her dedication and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional, trustworthy care!

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.
<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 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!

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 .
