About: As a teacher, I am organized, dependable, and attentive to details. I have experience caring for cats and walking dogs, and I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets are safe and well cared for while they're away. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, providing updates, and maintaining a pet's normal routine. As a teacher, I am used to maintaining a consistent schedule and following routines. During the summer, I have increased flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. During the school year, I am available before and after work, evenings, weekends, and for overnight house-sitting arrangements. I work to maintain a pet's normal routine and provide dependable care while their owners are away. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and home is important. I carefully follow care instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if applicable), and household routines. I provide updates and photos when requested and strive to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their usual routine. I treat every home with respect and prioritize the safety and well-being of each pet in my care.
“Madeline was absolutely phenomenal; super communicative, sent me updates of how things were going, and friendly. Most importantly, my dog was well taken care of and had a great time. Madeline truly went above and beyond in every way possible.”
“Aryanna took care of our dog and cat while we were out of town for a week. She did a wonderful job! She was very thoughtful and attentive to the pets, and kept us updated on how they were doing. I highly recommend her as a house and pet sitter!”
“Michele was wonderful as always. My dogs are very relaxed with her. She even handled a small home issue. We know our dogs are in good hands with her, they love their Aunt Michele :)”
“Ashley did a first-time 5 night housesit for my almost 10 year old lab mix, and she did a great job. She followed my directions and gave me daily updates and photos. She was very responsive through the app. I felt confident my dog was well-cared for and would use her again.”
“Justin did a wonderful job caring for Queen and Isaiah! He sent daily updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. The dogs looked happy, relaxed, and completely comfortable snuggling with him—their favorite activity. We returned home to two happy pets and would gladly book Justin again. Highly recommend!”
“Taresse was great. We felt very comfortable leaving our dogs in their care. They sent many photos and updates to let us know how our dogs were doing. We will definitely have Taresse watch the dogs again the next time we go away.”
“Lauren took excellent care of our home and our pets - which included two high maintenance geriatric dogs as well as two mischievous cats. We arrived home to find our home in order and the animals relaxed and happy.”
“Jeanette is amazing. She cared for our dog, took him for long walks, took him with her so he had companionship during the day, and stayed with him at the house. Highly recommended!”
“This was our first time having Claudia house sit our pups. She was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. We were gone for 3 nights and the pups were well taken care of. We got regular pics and updates as well. … and the bonus part: our house was immaculate when we got home (that’s always the best). Things went so smoothly we plan to use her in the near future as well.”
“We had a wonderful, stress-free experience with Samantha during her week-long stay in our home. She took great care of our dog and he was completely himself when we returned. Our home was also well cared for and very clean when we returned. She kept us updated regularly with photos and messages, and we had peace of mind while traveling. Samantha is reliable, trustworthy, friendly, and professional. We would absolutely book her again!”
“Sara did a wonderful job with watching our pups while we were gone. They were calm and not anxious when we returned. They were well loved. The house looked great when we returned too! We highly recommend Sara!”
“Our first pet sitting with Marissa was perfect. Her communication while we were away was excellent, not too much or too little so we could enjoy our vacation without worrying. When we came home all our pets were so happy and we could tell they enjoyed their time together.”
About: I over 5 years of experience working professionally with dogs and cats. I also have personal experience with being a dog and cat owner my entire life. I have never met a animal I didn't like! I am Pet CPR/First Aid certified and am currently going through Fear Free training. I pride myself on providing superb pet care! Your pets will love me as much as I love them! I know that every pet is built different, so I strive to build a lasting connection with each one by being patient and attentive to each ones needs. I am able to accommodate senior dogs, leash reactive dogs, fearful dogs, cats, puppies, and dogs with mobility issues. I can also accommodate rodents, fish, or other small animals.I look forward to meeting you and your furry or furless family member! I am currently working part time, but I am able to plan my weeks ahead time! I can accommodate early am (before 8am) and pm 7 days a week (5pm-10pm) walks/drop in on most day but that varies. Some weeks I have open week days. My weekends are open. Feel free to ask me! I would be a great back up plan. Also, if you have a dog that needs a experienced walker because they won't just walk with anyone, then we can both find a time that works! It depends on what your expectations are. I like to follow the guidelines set but if there are no guidelines then I try to keep each visit fun for each animal. Some like a good cuddle session, others like puzzles, and some are hikers. You let me know what your pet likes!
“Izzy was a complete delight to work with! I booked her to house sit and care for our 3 dogs for a long weekend and she was extremely reliable, professional, and responsible. She went above and beyond her duty to care for our dogs and we returned to 3 happy pups and an immaculate house! We will certainly be requesting her services again and again!”
“We had a wonderful dog sitting experience with Lindsay! Our dog can be a little shy when meeting new people but she immediately took a liking to Lindsey! Lindsey gave regular updates with pictures each day on how our dog was doing, and even took the time to wash the sheets and towels she used. We will definitely be booking her whenever we need a dog sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Savage
Sarah was amazing when watching our two dogs and cat while we were away on vacation. The animals were loved and well taken care of during her watch. The house was taken care of and she was very communicative and prompt with her replies. She took lots of pictures and gave the perfect amount of updates.
Shanae was fantastic with our German Shepherd. He gets pills multiple times a day and she went above and beyond caring for and spending time with him. He absolutely loved her and we were so glad she was with him for the time we were away. We highly recommend her and she is truly someone who will love your pet while you’re gone. She sent daily photos and videos, and spoiled him every single day. She is the best!!!
Majdoline did an amazing job house sitting for a week with 5 dogs. She was flexible and easy to communicate with and also went above and beyond caring for the house and yard. We came home to happy doggies and will be using her again and would definitely recommend her!
I wish I could give Yasmine a million stars! She is so attentive. When one of our dogs was having tummy issues, she offered to make her a plain meal to help. She is so responsive and sends so many pictures and updates. We were so nervous leaving our babies but she is a pro. 100% recommend her and we will be using her again in the future!
Johnny was great at communicating early and often. Made sure he met both our pets and came to the apartment beforehand to make sure everything was a good fit. He sent pictures and updates daily on our vacation and took very good care of our apartment. I definitely will book with Johnny again and would recommend him to anyone looking.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Savage on Rover is $41.73 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 10,562 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Savage. 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 Savage 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 Savage 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 Savage 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.
