“Paige was easy to communicate with and made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care. He is high anxiety and she did great with him and he was in great spirits when I got home.”
“If you want a worry, free time away from home, John is your guy. He spent a week with our golden retrievers, in our home. He sent frequent updates and pictures. It’s apparent that he has an affinity for dogs! When we arrived home, the house was tidy and clean just as we had left it. I will feel at ease requesting John’s dog sitting services in the future.”
“We enjoyed meeting Courtney and introducing her to our cat and dog. She arrived promptly and was very comfortable around animals. She asked great, specific questions about care, and we appreciate that.”
“Tim has watched Atlas for us a couple times (our dog) and done a wonderful job. Our dog perks his ears to Tim’s name knowing he will get a loving buddy while we are gone! Reliable and good communicator.”
“Abi took great care of Molly while we were on vacation. She sent us photo updates and left our space nice and clean. I will definitely be seeking out Abi’s help next time we are in need!”
About: I've had 2 dogs but am unable to have an animal of my own right now. I am a go-to sitter of friends and family for caring for their dogs and/or cats when they go out of town. I love taking care of animals! I'm currently working a hybrid schedule of Monday and Friday's at home. I am available to watch dogs/cats the whole week, but need to be in the office Tuesday - Thursday. So, if your dog can go a little over 8 hours between potty breaks this is no issue. I do work fairly close to home, so could come home on lunch break for a quick bathroom break. I live in a townhouse with a small, mulched front yard. I have a long leash that I can let dogs out on for quick bathroom breaks (I will be outside with them to supervise) . The neighborhood has sidewalks throughout and low traffic to take dogs on longer walks. Neighborhood is very dog friendly. Applewood Nature Reserve is also a walkable distance from my house (dogs should have tick prevention if you want them walked in the park). Longer walks would be up to 2 miles depending on your pets ability.
“Stephanie was a great dog sitter! She communicates quickly and made the sitting process pain free. She was very easy to work with for the meet and greet and the sitting. Zoey was very happy to stay with her. I recommend her to anyone who needs a great sitter!”
“Alex was amazing! She arrived on time, asked great questions and took notes, and was very communicative. We felt very comfortable with her staying in our home. She also sent sweet photos of our boys, who we could tell were having the best time. We will definitely book her again!”
“Naomi was fantastic and always kept us in the loop on walks and outings to dog parks, as well as on eating and potty issues. She sent pictures. I would highly recommend Naomi! We will use her services again.”
“Arianna was an amazing dog sitter for our pup while we were out of town! She took buster on her daily runs and facilitated little adventures for him everyday. She is so thoughtful & would definitely recommend as a dog/house sitter!”
About: Hello! My name is Mars (he/him) and I'm excited to start petsitting in the area! I have been taking care of others' pets since high school, and formerly worked as a Veterinary Technician Assistant at the University of Minnesota. I also have plenty of experience with special-needs and senior care, so if you have a pet that needs a little bit of extra love I would be the perfect fit! I know your pet is a member of your family, and I will do my absolute best to make them feel safe and loved while you’re away. I'm available most weekends for either dropping by and/or walks, or staying with your pet(s) in your home if you'll be gone overnight or for the weekend. Over the years I have stayed with many pets in their own homes, and believe this is usually a better option to boarding because your pet(s) will be more comfy and I will be able to help them maintain more of their usual routine.
About: I have been a pet sitter since I was 14 years old. I love taking cares of other peoples animals and truly enjoy every second. I have a flexible full time job and I am looking for occasional jobs to spend time with some pets and make a little extra cash! I carefully follow the owners instructions always to ensure that everyone is comfortable with the care I am providing. I will also ask any questions to make sure of this.
“Caroline did a wonderful job. You can tell she loves animals plus has so much experience with them. I think Oliver felt he was at camp with his pals. First time nonfamily watched him and it couldn't have gone better. I was worried he might not want to leave.”
About: I’ve been very into pet care since I was young and see so much value in who they are to people and the world! I’ve been pet sitting combined with baby sitting my entire life and it feels natural! I’m currently almost completely free all the time! Not in school nor do I have other commitments, but spending my time looking after people’s fur babies sounds amazing! Gaining trust is very important with a pet! I pay a lot of attention to the pet and their needs and provide many cuddles and love!
“Kari did an excellent job watching our dog! She kept us informed and sent photos of our dog, and took nice walks with her. Kari stayed at our home and everything was in great shape after her time here. She was very good with communication from beginning to end.”
“Ruthie was great! She came to our home to meet Moses and stayed with him for a weekend. Moses is a large golden with endless energy so we feel blessed that Ruthie was up for the gig and she sent photos and updates which was great! Highly recommend”
“It was our first time using Rover, but Dylan and his wife immediately put us at ease and went above and beyond our expectations! It was a highlight of our vacation to get his daily report on our cat and dog and pics. He gave them more attention than we normally do on weekends, and we could tell our pets were relaxed and happy. We’ll definitely book again!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a little kid ! I have had experience with a big and small dogs. I regularly take care of my friends dogs. I have dogs of my own and understand how hard it is to get them outside while being busy. I am home from college right now and have extra time on my hands ! I will always put your dogs needs as my top priority! I will keep you updated during the walk as having someone else walking your dog can be stressful.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Paul Park
Greta is so kind and accommodating! Our kitties were in a unique situation where they had recently gotten into a fight and were in the reintroduction process, which required them to be separated. Greta was very understanding of their situation and met their unique needs while we were away!
Amanda was one of the best rovers we’ve ever had! She is respectful, responsible, and reliable. She sent tons of updates and took great care of our pups and home! We came home to clean home and happy pups both times we have used her! She will definitely be our first contact for our next trip!
Aisha did an amazing job watching our two cats while we were away! She was very responsive to our messages and kept us informed with updates and pictures 😆 We will definitely be requesting her services again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Saint Paul Park is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $53 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Park 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 Park 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 Park 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
