“Eva did great with our three dogs over an extended (6 night) stay of house sitting. They all have their goofy quirks, so we appreciated her spending the time with them to keep them all happy and healthy. We came back to three very excited and well cared for pups. Would highly recommend.”
“Our house was spotless and our kiddos were happy! Evy was great! She communicated with us the whole time, and kept us updated on our zoo at home! We have a pup with some bladder control issues and reactivity, and Evy handled her like a champ! Will for sure be using Evy again!”
“Krystal is a friendly, compassionate, and great individual to work with. She has an amazing personality and immediately connected with Willy. She was great about providing me with a lot of updates and took great care of my apartment too.”
“Ann was absolutely fantastic! We had to use her on short notice because of a date mixup with our initial sitter. We have three tiny, *neurotic* and high maintenance Italian Greyhounds and we’ve never left them with anyone but family members. Ann stepped in for 2.5 days on short notice, including overnights. She quickly accommodated a meet and greet with the dogs, she was kind and personable, and the dogs took to her immediately. She hit the ball out the park, and we came home to three utterly relaxed dogs. She was very communicative, sending us texts and pictures. We will ABSOLUTELY use her as our regular going forward, so don’t hesitate to book her for peace of mind when you have to travel.”
“Caitlin was wonderful watching my dogs this past weekend. This is my first experience with Rover. She was highly responsive with communication. She came over to my house in advance to meet the dogs in order to ensure a smooth transition, especially given my dogs protective nature. She also walked me through the process and expectations, not having used Rover previously. My dogs took well to her and that was most important! I would absolutely book 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!”
“Fira was wonderful with our senior dog. I would hire her again in a heartbeat! We were out of the country and she was very good at proactive communication. Our dog had a hard time with us gone and she handled everything with care and patience. We know he was in great hands!! Cannot recommend her enough.”
“Catarina was amazing with my GSD. She took great care of her, provided tons of updates and followed all our care instructions. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Anika was AMAZING. She was very friendly and exceeded our expectations. Not only was she willing to do anything extra we needed, she left our house clean and everything set up so it was bed ready for our late arrival home: the mat on the couch and pillows out of the way for the dogs, all trash cans emptied, and her sheets in the wash machine. The dogs were happy and healthy when we got home. She’s our go-to for now on!”
“Wendy did a fantastic job watching our boys. she appeared to be comfortable and our boys appeared to settle in with her as well.. Wendy will be doing a extended stay with with our boys we look forward to her stay with them and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter..”
“Kris was fantastic! She was so patient and understanding with our overly nervous and anxious rescue dog. Our dog takes a while to warm up to strangers, so I was very nervous about having someone stay at our house, but Kris made me feel comfortable from the moment she first met our pup. Kris provided thorough communication the entire weekend. I would highly recommend her and definitely hope to have her house sit again!”
“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!”
“Zach was very good at building a strong bond with my dog. He sent photos and took him on walks even when he was resistant (not a fan of the cold). He also took care of our bunny and cat. He was able to effectively handle more then one pet at a time and made sure all got equal time and attention.”
“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!”
About: I’ve been taking care of family friends pets off and on for years and just getting into rover so lemme know if you have any questions I DoorDash right now for work so I’m mainly home but occasionally gone for a few hours. Always start my day with walking my dog and tend to do more walks the better the weather I have a fenced in yard so the dogs to run around and my own dog to play with. Open to specific instructions so just lemme know
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.
About: Home full-time, active outdoors person, and love making dogs a part of my lifestyle! I have a young golden retriever who loves companions and is good with dogs of all sizes, and older one who is slightly more selective, but we stay very active! I will love your pet as my own, give them all the love, attention and activity they need. I will cater to you and your pet's needs to make you feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I currently work remote and on my own schedule - so drop-ins and dogs walks can fit well into my flexible schedule. I rise with the sun and like to stay active during the day! Like my own. They will be well cared for, well exercised and I’ll be sure to provide interaction, play and stimulation while you are away!
About: I bring over 11 years of hands-on pet care experience with dogs, cats, and small animals. I have cared for four of my own dogs across sizes, ages, and temperaments, from puppies to seniors, and two cats from kittenhood through senior years. I have also cared for several pets of family and friends while out of town. I am experienced with administering oral medications, injections, and managing emergency health situations, including chronic and special needs care such as bladder issues. I use positive reinforcement training with treats and clickers and have even trained my cat to use a cat wheel. I offer calm, attentive care tailored to each pet’s physical and emotional needs. I carry Professional Pet Sitter's Liability Insurance, just in case things don't go according to plan. I also have a green thumb and would love to take care of your house plants or garden while you are away. Have a special request? Just ask! Pet care is the center of my daily routine. I currently care for my own dog and cat throughout the day, so my schedule is already structured around feeding, walks, medications, and check-ins. I am partially remotely employed and available seven days a week, with flexible hours for drop-in visits, dog walks, and small animal care. I can reliably accommodate last-minute requests and consistent recurring schedules. I currently have several recurring clients over the lunch hour, and may not be fully available during that time frame. Please inquire for scheduling details. I care for pets as if they were my own, with a strong focus on safety, consistency, and clear communication. In clients’ homes, I follow instructions closely, maintain secure entry and exit practices, and keep pets on short leashes unless otherwise requested. I tailor walks to each dog’s needs, offering brisk exercise walks or relaxed sniff walks. I monitor behavior and health closely and will notify you immediately of any concerns. I am experienced with emergency situations and medication routines and prioritize calm, attentive care that helps pets feel secure while you are away.
“Luliia did a great job. She was only with Kona for a few hours but sent us lots of pictures from her walk and rest time. Luliia was very responsive to all communication prior to booking. We look forward to using her services again!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Savage
Ava was an amazing sitter for our puppy, Huey! She totally put us at ease while we were out of state being sure to send photos and updates. She was super patient with his puppy behavior and had no issue maintaining his special diet due to some stomach issues. She went above and beyond cleaning him up and our home was spotless when we returned. Huey loved his walks with her and even ran into the guest room looking for her the next day! Ava was reliable, flexible, professional, and great to work with! We would definitely book with her again in the future!
Best Rover ever! Makayla took care of our 4 cats and provided them love, attention and compassion. She fed, played and stepped in as a “fill in parent” when we were gone. She sent updates twice a day with text messages, pictures and videos. Absolutely amazing Rover. Definitely would recommend her!!!
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!
Above and beyond experience working with Lizzy! 100% recommend for any house/pet sitting needs. She is so professional and experienced, we plan to book again with Lizzy. I slept easy away from home knowing that both our senior dog and our high energy crazy dog were both getting their needs met, as well as our cat! I really appreciate the updates she sent and how tidy she left the house. She really came in clutch on our last minute request!

FAQs for House Sitting - Savage
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Savage on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,409 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Savage. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
