“Caitlin did a great job with my senior dog Bailie. Bailie was happy and the house was in order when we returned. Our drive back ended up being longer than planned and she was able to stay a bit longer to take Bailie out and feed her that day. We will have her back again if she is available when we need a sitter.”
“Eva was great. She took care of Zola while we were out of the country. Zola warmed up to her and that says a lot! She took her for walks and sent updates with photos which we really appreciated!”
“I definitely will be using Catarina again for any future bookings I need for Penny! She was caring, patient, and understanding with Penny. My dog tends to have behaviors and Catarina did such an amazing job communicating with me and giving me helpful tips! Thank you so much for treating Penny like she was your own!”
“Ann did a fantastic job caring for my two high-energy pups by giving them the attention and exercise they needed! Will definitely look forward to booking with her again.”
“Kim was a wonderful dog sitter for our 2 year old Bernadoodle while we were away for a week over spring break. She stopped by the house before our trip to meet us and get acclimated to the dog and environment. She was a great communicator leading up to and throughout the trip and overall very reliable. She'll be at the top of our wish list for future dog sitting needs!”
“Nina & her fiancé were great for our 2 young dogs with different temperaments & personalities. Her communication was clear & direct. They are very capable & left our home in perfect condition. We highly recommend them!”
“We were so happy to find Kelsi to spend the night with Dollar. This was our first time using Rover and we would definitely recommend Kelsi and will likely try to book her again. Dollar loved her as well as we saw in the pic updates she sent.”
“Brooke did a great job with our high-energy dog, Isa! Brooke is very knowledgeable about enrichment activities and was both patient and proactive with our dog. Isa can be sensitive while we’re away. It made such a difference that Brooke sent wonderful updates throughout our trip and Isa looked happy and very well cared for. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog!”
“Cassidy was an amazing sitter! Chessy was so excited to see her and cried when she left. I knew my pup was well taken care of. She was very respectful of my place. I would not hesitate to book again or recommend her to others!”
“Rachel is wonderful !!! She and my 1 yr old Goldador Remigus (Remi) instantly bonded at the meet and greet and became great best buddies and new friends. Would highly recommend and plan on more housesitting and/or visits when needed! Thanks so much Rachel !!! Julie and Remi”
“Our first venture into Rover.com could not have gone better. Tara responded quickly after we posted our request for a house- and dog-sitter. She requested a meet and greet before starting about which we were very happy. She and our dog, Fritz, got along very well as demonstrated by the pictures she sent of him napping next to her on his favorite pillow. When we returned home a week later he was excited to see us but calm, a further reflection of how comfortable he was with her. We will definitely use her again!!”
“Our boy Hagrid absolutely adored Andy! She took amazing care of him and our home, and sent plenty of pictures while we were away. Highly recommend and would definitely book again for future trips!”
“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”
About: I work from home full time and have the capability and desire to have a cuddly fur baby around, snuggles, walks and lots of love a must. I like watching 1 dog at a time but if they are from the same family, please feel free to reach out if there are 2. I am able to be flexible. Since I work from home full time I am available to watch your fur baby during the day, night, boarding and on weekends if needed I would take them on walks when I could during the day, snuggles, some play time and rest when needed. Plenty of food and water, no fenced in back yard.
“We are so grateful for the amazing care Meghan gave to Rambo and Simba! She was reliable, kind, and kept us updated while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our boys were happy, well cared for, and comfortable when we got back. You can truly tell she loves animals and treats them like her own. We highly recommend Meghan and will always be our #1 sitter!”
“Fira hung with the pups while we were gone for the day. It was obvious they were happy. Especially since she sent a photo with one of them on her lap. We are grateful to have a wonderful dog sitter!! Highly recommend her!!”
“We are so grateful to have found Iuliia on Rover when we first moved to MSP. She was so flexible and did so well meeting our dog for the first time (who is VERY anxious and barks a lot at new people). A year later and in need of a last minute sitter, Iuliia was available and we are so glad she was willing to watch our sweet pup. She has so much experience especially with dogs who are anxious/can come across as somewhat scary and aggressive. She handles our scared pup with so gentleness and patience. Our dog is tough to meet at first but Iuliia was unphased! We are so grateful for her and will absolutely be repeat customers!!!”

Bella did an amazing job taking care of our 3 crazy Frenchies! She was so respectful in our home, kept in such great contact sending updates and pictures throughout her time. Our frenchies are not the easiest but they truly adored Bella! Our time away was made so much better knowing she was taking such great care of our babies!!!
Victoria is amazing! From the time she walked in my house to meet my dog; she was gentle, nurturing, and connected with him right away. I felt so confident, leaving Harley in her care. While I was gone, she sent me a picture of him daily and kept me posted on how he was doing. I can’t imagine keeping him with anybody else, but her.
Makayla was absolutely amazing! We truly don’t have enough words to express how grateful we are for the care she gave our home and our fur babies. We were incredibly nervous about having someone stay in our home and care for our pets because we had only ever trusted family to watch them. From the very beginning, Makayla put us completely at ease. Before we even booked, she came over to meet us and our fur babies, and they immediately loved her! Even our very shy kitten came right up to her, which told us everything we needed to know. Makayla stayed in our home for two weeks and was absolutely wonderful. She sent us daily updates, photos, and little glimpses of how everyone was doing, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. When we came home, the house was immaculate, and our fur babies were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well loved. It was obvious that Makayla treated our home and pets as if they were her own. We would recommend Makayla without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, caring, and wonderful with animals. She exceeded our expectations in every way, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. We will definitely be asking her to watch our fur babies again!
Claire did a wonderful job taking care of our senior dog Teddy while house-sitting for us for a week. Teddy has multiple health issues, including poor mobility, vision and hearing, requiring a lot of hands-on care. Claire handled all of his needs with loving care, including administering medications and giving Teddy several walks a day. We were able to relax on our vacation knowing Claire had it all covered. We highly recommend her!
Kate took great care of our 2 dogs, one of them is very anxious natured and also needs medicine for her health condition. She took great initiative from the first meet and greet to ask questions and handle them independently by interacting with them. She reviewed the instructions carefully and asked for options just in case. We were pleasantly surprised that she was able to give medication in a timely manner. Kate was also quick in responding. We would absolutely hire her again!!
Alexis has house sit/pet sit for us twice now, and I cannot recommend her enough! She takes excellent care of both Remi and Lola - providing exercise and lots of pets for the puppies, and fantastic communication and daily updates for the humans! Both of my dogs have some special diet and/or medication routine and her academic training and background is ideal as both dogs need meds daily. I know both Remi and Lola love spending time with Alexis and we look forward to seeing her again soon!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Savage on Rover is $55.5 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 3,385 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
