“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!”
“Hannah did a great job with our two pups while we were out of town. She gave our dogs the love and attention. Would 10 out of 10 recommend her! if we are ever go out of town, we would love for her to take care of our pups again.”
“Kenya was great. Quick replies when we texted her. She took wonderful care of our pets. Plus the house was clean and looked just as it did when we left for vacation. We will definitely rebook with Kenya in the future!”
“Laurie was amazing while watching my two dogs! She kept me updated and my dogs seemed so happy when I got home. My house was also spotless when I got back! Would definitely hire her again!”
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.
“Courtney was a wonderful dog sitter that we would recommend to anyone looking for the best care for their pets. Courtney went above and beyond to make sure our pets were safe and cared for and keeping constant communication throughout the week on how they were doing.”
“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.”
“Amanda absolutely blew me away with how she took care of my three dogs. She communicated with lots of pictures and videos always answered texts. She gave my babies lots of love. She has become my new favorite ❤️”
“Louann stayed with our 2 dogs over the weekend while we were away. She did a wonderful job and made us feel at ease knowing they were being taken care of and getting attention while we were gone. I will definitely use Louann again. It's hard to find someone who has such a passion for dogs as she does!”
“Zoila house sat our two dogs and two cats on Christmas weekend. She was prompt, a good communicator, sent pictures, and was upfront about her work schedule. When we came back our pets were well cared for and happy. We look forward to booking her again.”
About: I have cared for dogs for 25 years, labradors primarily but also small dogs. We currently have a 1 1/2 year old black lab and also a 10 year old Beeshon Poodle. A fully fenced yard and 2 adults that work from home are typically always present. I am a real estate agent so I am home most days. I have 2 dogs so I am dialed into taking care of them on a daily basis. We have a fully fenced back yard, also we are within walking distance to a city park for afternoon walks. I am able to care for your dog without you having to worry at all.
“Kiana is amazing with my very shy dog and takes wonderful care of my pack. I highly recommend her bc her vet clinic background. She is literally prepared to handle any issue that can come up.”
“Marta did an amazing job watching Ozzy and Lucy for a full week in our home. She was incredibly kind, communicative, and genuinely caring the entire time we were away. We really appreciated how she kept us updated and even checked in on us to make sure we’d be home in time to take over care-such a thoughtful touch. Both dogs were clearly well cared for and seemed happy, relaxed, and content when we returned. Marta also handled giving medication to our sweet Lucy without any issues and wasn’t afraid to ask questions to make sure everything was done right. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We would absolutely trust Marta again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter.”
“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!”

Genevieve did a great job dog sitting my two standard poodles the week I was out of town. She was responsive, sent picture updates throughout my time away. I was happy with how active with walks, trails, parks she kept up with them! Would definitely book with her again.
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!
Stefanie was absolutely wonderful and incredibly patient with my dog, Pilot. I don’t trust many people with him since he’s older and a bit finicky, and very dependent on his regular routine. But Stephanie was amazing, she connected with Pilot right away, and he trusted her instantly. Usually, when we go away, he won’t eat for the first 24hrs., but with Stefanie he ate and drank right away. She walked him, gave him all the love he needed, and even took him for a quick car ride around the block (his favorite) She stayed at our home while my husband and I were out of town, and everything looked great when we returned. On top of that, she kept in touch with regular updates, pictures and videos, which gave us peace of mind. Stefanie is patient, kind and trustworthy. I Absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pet like family.

FAQs for House Sitting - Saint Paul
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Saint Paul on Rover is $52.97 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 3,912 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.
