“Anna was fantastic. This was our first time having anyone stay with Griffin and it all went so well. He’s got separation anxiety, so we needed to figure out how to make things easier on him and Anna was a wonderful solution! She was engaged and comfortable with him right away, and he’s a big dog, so that was good to see. She also sent period reports and photos, so we knew things were going well. We’re excited to have her back and have already booked our next Rover gig with her.”
“Keely G. did an excellent job taking care of our furry little creatures. Me, my wife and 2 year old daughter went on vacation for five days and were in need of some help. Looking on Rover.com, I saw Keely's profile. She was very reasonably priced and loved both dogs and cats, which is great because we have three dogs and two cats. One of the twists was is that we have a seven month old German Shepherd puppy who is very high in energy. After speaking with Keely, she set up a meet and greet with me and my family at our home so she could get a head start on learning about other 'children' and what will be expected during our vacation. Keely was very approachable and friendly on the visit and I knew she was the one for the job. We left for our vacation and Keely made sure to keep in contact with me the whole time. She sent me many pictures of our happy little fur babies and let us know that everyone was very happy. When we returned home from our vacation, our home looked the way it was when we left, clean and tidy. It's safe to say that We'll be using her services for future vacations. I recommend Keely for anyone who needs a very qualified pet/house sitter . You will not be disappointed.”
“Luke and Rachel were amazing!! So friendly, responsible and thorough. I could tell from the meet and greet that they love animals very much and are passionate about making sure they are well cared for. We loved their updates. Even the shy cats seemed to warm up to them quickly! Would absolutely recommend their services.”
“This was our first time with having Jackie sit for Abbey and Winnie. We very much appreciated her flexibility with being able to stay an extra 30 minutes longer than planned. We look forward to having her sit in the near future.”
“Ava did a fantastic job caring for our 2 yellow labs for a weekend. She sent us an update and photos. We had a meet and greet prior and all the communication was spot on. I highly recommend Ava!”
“Emma did an AWESOME job! She kept us updated with pictures and our cat who never trusts anyone was totally content and happy with Emma and hung out with her all weekend. One of our dogs has to take medication and Emma was very professional and had all the medical stuff under control. Emma did a fantastic job and we will absolutely ask her to watch our two dogs and cat again!”
“Kaitlin did a great job! My pup is happy and healthy -and the house is in perfect order. She was able to navigate everything successfully with minimal instructions. I’m very happy!”
“Cari is absolutely amazing! She is warm and conscientious and took the time to get to know our cat and dog with their various quirks! Great communicator. I did not worry about the pets for the entire trip! Not only was she great with the animals, she took care of the house and even folded laundry/sheets we left in the dryer.”
“Penny was absolutely wonderful with our Bailey boy. He absolutely adored her and has been looking for her since we got home! She was very communicative and cared for him as if he was one of her own. 100% recommend her for any of your needs. We are ready to plan our next vacation knowing we have Penny to care for him ❤️”
“Daisy is quite happy after spending time with Gretchen. They go for wonderful walks and I can tell Daisy has had fun. My apt is always nice and tidy when I return home as well!”
About: I have 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own. One of my pups is a rambunctious puppy and the other is getting up into his senior years. My puppy is self taught and already knows over 10 tricks, he’s still young so hopefully we can squeeze a few more in. My senior pup I got later on in his life, I taught him a few tricks but he can get stubborn in his years😅 all of my cats are healthy, except for the oldest who only has 3 teeth(she was like this when I adopted her) and those 3 teeth are going strong! No matter how much I pushed wet food she always went for her sisters dry food that is left out. On of my cats in the past was a wobbly kitty so I also have experience with special needs. All of my pets were adopted from AHS! A little more about me: I am a full time paraprofessional at a level 4 year round autism school, my hours there are 8am-3:30pm. I recently transitioned to schools this past year and have loved it. Then I work Saturdays at a group home for disabled adults, my hours there are 8am-12pm one week and 8am-8pm the other. I’ve been with this company for almost 6 years and have played multiple roles from a DSP-Program manager. I can assure you I know how to handle things in tense situations! These hours still give me plenty of time to play with your fur babies, I know the one Saturday can get long but I will make sure they get a good walk and fed before leaving and returning home! (If the stay is in my home though, I have other people that can let them out for a quick potty breaks if you allow.) First thing I do is feed my cats and dogs when I get up, they don’t let me forget. I’m constantly cleaning up all their toys and clean their litterbox twice weekly. My dogs get a quick walk in the morning and we always finish the night with some training and a longer walk before bed. If I am in your home I will follow your guidelines that you give, whether that be potty breaks/ meal times/ exercise/ meds, whatever you need! In my home I will still follow your schedule but I have a chain for them to go outside quickly, a nice field next to my house(not completely fenced) that we can run around in or if you are okay with me taking them in my car there’s a few trails and a fenced park less than 2 miles from me!
About: I’ve always connected with animals, dogs in particular have truly been the best friends of my life. Their love, curiosity, and genuine spirit is a magnet to me. I am patient and kind, and have good intentions, dogs pick up on that and trust me quickly. I work full time as a handyman, and have a passion for the outdoors, and animals. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to help others with their pet care needs. I’m happy to come to your home and help with any pet care needs. I currently rent, so unfortunately I’m not able to have animals at my home.
“Anika is so sweet and was great with our pups! She arrived on time, was very accommodating to our needy pups’ schedule, followed all instructions, left our home clean, and even left flowers for us to come home to after our trip! We will definitely be contacting her again in the future!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Carolyn. It’s so great to have someone take care of my fur baby and my house while I’m out of town. Can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since the age of 12 and I love to walk and play with them, sure to care for their needs to the best of my ability! I do remote work and teach afternoon lessons occasionally, allowing me to have a very flexible routine depending on the day and week. I can fit to your preferences. I am more than willing to go the extra measure to ensure your pet feels comfortable in my care, whether that entails walks or games or just a calm presence.
“Olivia did a wonderful job with Tessa and also communicated well with us while we were away House was left clean and nice . Most of all Tessa (our dog) loved her .”

Anna was beyond measure the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. She was highly communicative, thoughtful, and we’ve never come home to (very attached) animals that were only excited and not over the moon that we were home. Thank you from the bottom of our pet-loving hearts ❤️
Luke contacted us every day with wonderful and detailed updates on all four of our dogs. Our home was clean and the bed stripped when we returned home which was wonderful. If our crazy dogs didn't scare Luke and Rachel away, we will definitely have them stay with our zoo again!
Katrina always takes great care of our kitties. We were on an extended trip, and she took care of our house and kept us updated on our cats. One cat is 16 years old with kidney disease, and she made sure to keep us informed on how she was doing. We were able relax and enjoy our trip knowing our girls were well taken care of with Katrina.
Repeat customer and so happy to be one!!! Sarah is amazing with our dog who is....somewhat high maintenance (think bad on walks, not always accepting of new people, etc), old grumpy cat, and guinea pig. She does it all! Not to mention she talks amazing care of our home when we're away! Highly recommend!
Elli was really wonderful to work with. She was communicative and I really appreciated that she was proactive about setting up meet and greets ahead of the stay to get to know our dog and to make sure she had all the information she need to house and dog sit. She was very friendly and caring with our dog and we would absolutely book with Elli again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Vadnais Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Vadnais Heights on Rover is $38.85 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 3,469 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vadnais Heights. 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 Vadnais Heights 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 Vadnais Heights 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 Vadnais Heights 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.
