“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.”
“Molly was absolutely amazing. She communicated clearly and provided daily updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was also fully prepared to administer medications to our two senior dogs without any issues. All of our babies clearly loved her, and we came home to a clean house and happy, healthy pets. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care she provided! 🐾”
About: I have 2 cats of my own and helped take care of a past 21 1/2 old cat my family had until 3 years ago. Cuddling and playing with cats bring me so much enjoy. My fiancé Sammie is a dog specialist. She handles the dog walking and dog care. She was raised around dogs, and dog sat in her childhood. I have a fenced yard that both of my cats go out and play and relax. My cats roam everywhere in the house and can curl up anywhere. I work part-time but will definitely make the time to take care of your babies. Other than that I have plenty of time to snuggle, cuddle, or play with your fur babies. My cats will go outside into a fenced off yard and while they are outside will keep an eye on them. I won’t force your animals to do anything with me but if they want to play or go outside (if that is allowed) I will happily do so.
About: Well, most & foremost I transport pets not just dogs/cats across the United States from a person buying it from a pet store or a friend, etc to their destination of choice w/my set price. I also have my certificate in USDA for pets that I’ll upload in pictures. Moving forward I’ve walked dogs, bathe a cat & dog, was a pet sitter for cats/dogs and puppies. Am very good at communicating & reading/following my clients notes when it comes to food time/preparation or anything relatable to your lovable pet. SN: am very good at belly rubs if your animal loves that since that’s an all time favorite thing for puppies or cats period 😁 Am currently self-employed working on my terms so the time needed to cater/care for a client pet is a blessing to me. I prefer weekdays the most but wouldn’t mind a weekend for some pet attention😃 my availability will be open on ALL days unless something comes up unexpectedly but am a reasonable person w/others times/days etc. I currently help/ take care of my sons father female American bully whom I love. She’s very very smart & alert. So therefore, if I welcome/get that opportunity for a new pet into my home for boarding etc pls believe am treating him/her w/all the love possible. Pet toys & pet food isn’t a problem to me either you can provide your own but am very willing and can accommodate as well on my end.
“If you want someone that genuinely cares and is willing to go the extra mile to ensure your pets comfort, she's the one! HUGE paws up!!! 🐾🐾Highly recommended by both us and our fur babies! Ava took fantastic care of our dogs and house during our 10 day trip. We have a timid rescue pittie, so Ava met with her well before our trip and arrived early day of to ensure our girl would feel comfortable while we were gone. 💙 Our house was in better condition than when we left. She even washed, remade the bed, and took out the trash before we arrived home. We will 100% be booking Ava for all our future pet sitting needs!”
“Megan took the best care of our two pups all the while effortlessly attending to our home. Megan maintained contact and best of all truly provided us a worry free vacation. We highly recommend Megan as anyone’s first choice for your pet sitting needs.”

About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive, patient, and responsible, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, provide walks and playtime, and give pets plenty of attention. I also have a backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time. I’m excited to build experience caring for different pets and providing owners with peace of mind! I have a flexible weekly schedule and am looking to provide reliable pet care alongside my regular work schedule. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and occasional weekend or overnight sitting. I can plan bookings around my availability to ensure each pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care. ❤️ I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets. I live in a home with a backyard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time, play, and bathroom breaks while supervised. I’m happy to follow each owner’s preferred routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions. I can also provide care in the client’s home, making sure their pets feel comfortable, receive plenty of attention, and stick to their normal routines. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away!
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.

“Sara did an amazing job watching my two dogs, Bruno and Boo. She was great at communicating and provided in depth recaps at the end of each day, including lots of photos! She followed our care routine exactly to our preference and our dogs loved their time with her which included lots of snuggles! I would recommend Sara to anyone and plan to rebook her in the future.”
“Kaitlyn is amazing. We had a short notice trip come up, and she was able to make time to come meet our 2 pups. They were cared for, and loved on and barely noticed we were missing :) WIll definitely have Kaitlyn back again.”
About: When it comes to walking dogs. It’s a wonderful feeling to just be on a stroll while being accompanied by Mans best friend. Every pet will get much exercise and lengthy walks. During each walk each Pet will have completed their jobs in addition to their exercise. All Pets will be monitored and kept away from other dogs due to the fact that other dogs that are around may not be friendly. Pets will treated with respect at all times simply because the connection between i and the pet must be strong. In order for trust and the most optimal friendship to form I and the pet will have to initiate bonds. This will help wonders to getting the pet to listen while taking walks. I’ve owned 3 pets myself and came to learning a lot from each one. I was timid at first but I grew to love them overtime. Handling dogs is now like second nature. If you can identify the signs they give off then you can prevent a lot of accidents.
About: Hi! I absolutely love dogs. Have a two year old medium/small sized dog who loves play dates but also doesn’t mind staying in another room if other dogs aren’t friendly! She also doesn’t bother other dogs unless they come up to her to play. I will treat your dog as if it were my own. I work part time during the week, twice a week on a random schedule for around 7 hours or less and home all night. Weekends are completely free. I live in a very nice area, can go for walks, go to the dog park, my dog loves playing with other dogs, and i have a crate.
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.
“We went to Europe for a week for vacation and Kat house sat and watched our very high maintenance Jack Russell. She sent us updates and photos and we came home to a happy, totally calm pup. The apartment was tidy too! She is super easy to work with, from responding quickly to transferring apartment keys. Also our dog loved her immediately when he met her! Defintely recommend!”
About: I’ve spent more than 20 years caring for a wide variety of animals—from small and large dogs to pigs, horses, and chickens. I have experience with it all! As a first responder wife, I have a lot of free time on my hands & love spending it with animals!! I am a stay-at-home mom of three with completely open and flexible availability. I can provide early morning potty breaks, daytime walks, and attentive care throughout the day. I will make sure your dog is always kept on a leash or harness for their safety. I will put them back in their crate if requested!
“It has been a little while since Monique last pet sat for us. Our dog is very reserved so I expected it would take her some time to warm back up. As soon as Monique stepped out of the car, her entire back half of her body was wagging. She was so excited to see her. We have full peace of mind when our dog stays with Monique. She listens, communicates well, and gives our dog tons of attention and love while we are away. We highly recommend her!”

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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Saint Paul is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $80 per night.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
