“Katherine did an excellent job. She covered all of the items on our lenghty list of to dos and what to do. She understands our mature dog and cat. We felt so comfortable getting to know her and leaving her at our home.! She salted for details on items. She is calm and asks great questions and We felt so comfortable with her.”
“Luke and Rachel were both super communicative and took great care of the whole crew at our house. Would trust them anytime to hang with our animals while we're away!”
“Camille and Jordan were fantastic with our house and animals (elderly dog, cat and rabbit)! They were prompt in responding and making sure they had the information needed to take the best care of our animals. They were on time and communicated with us as needed. Our animals are our babies and they seemed perfectly comfortable and happy with Camille and Jordan so we will definitely be booking again!”
“Chioma was great- my dog can be a little wary of new people but Chioma was very patient and sent a lot of nice photos during her stay and took him on nice walks (in the heat!). My cat is also not the most friendly but Chioma charmed him, too. Thank you!!”
“This was our first time booking with Joel and he did an amazing job watching our senior lab dog and staying at our house. He also fed our bearded dragon for us which was appreciated! He was great at communicating and left everything so clean and spotless! We could tell our dog was well cared for 🥰”
“Emma was great! She took such good care of our special needs pup and elderly cat. She asked great questions and followed everything we asked. We got a bunch of updates and pictures, so nice. Will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Olivia has proven herself to be a reliable, dedicated, and generally awesome caretaker for our finicky dogs and cat while we were away, allowing us to enjoy our trip without worrying about a thing! We hope she is available the next time we have to head out of town, as she will be our go-to for any check-ins or pet sitting. We would recommend her without hesitation!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. Currently, I have two dogs (Great Pyrenees and pitbull) and two cats. I have experience giving medication (pill and liquid format), as well as giving insulin, and even subcutaneous IV fluids. Because my dogs are so big, you bet I’ll be able to walk your dog(s) no matter their size! I love going to dog parks or just chilling on the couch for some cuddles. I also have experience with spicier critters who just need a little time and space. No matter how big or small, how old or young, I’ll take the best care of your babies. I work from home with a flexible schedule so popping over for play/potty breaks or house sitting for you during the work week is no problem. I’m available 5pm onwards and on weekends for sitting or more extensive care. I am flexible with my availability. I am very good at following any instructions you have for your fur baby when I come to your house. Anything you need me to do I’ll do it. The best possible feeling is knowing your animals are in good, safe hands when you’re not available to take care of them yourself and I promise to deliver.
“Jaci took very good care of my cat in my home while I was on vacation. My cat was clean, healthy and happy. I liked that Jaci provided me with twice a day pictures and updates. Jaci left my home clean and locked. I definitely will he using her in the future.”
“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!”
“Michelle took such great care of our dog and cat (and house!) while we were away. Our dog is particularly grumpy and Michelle was able to walk and feed him without issue. We were also updated often which helped us enjoy our vacation knowing they were doing well. The house was clean upon our return - would book again!”
“Very sweet and fabulous with our dog who has a lot of separation anxiety. Our dog loved her and when I came home, she didn’t go crazy like usual if I leave the house for a bit, which means she wasn’t feeling aa anxious. I really appreciate the care for our dog and look forward to booking her again!”
“I can't recommend Lacie enough! She took incredible care of our two dogs and cat while we were out of town, going above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy and healthy. One of our dogs has some anxiety and can be reactive, but Lacie managed him with such patience and skill, keeping him calm and comfortable. She also handled medical needs seamlessly and kept us updated with photos, which really gave us peace of mind. We came home to a spotless space and three very content pets! If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets like family and leave your home just as you left it, Lacie is the one. Truly exceptional!”
“Penny was great. She really listened during our meet and greet. The dogs (1 senior cocker spaniel and 1 middle aged active beagle) really seemed to love her. We came home to happy dogs and a well cared for house.”
“Gretchen is amazing! She took fantastic care of my dogs while I was on vacation! I have a high energy dog and a very senior dog —complete opposites, and she was wonderful with their individual needs. I came home to happy dogs and a clean house! I would highly recommend her!”
“Amber was great! She gave us daily updates and pictures. Did great talking care of my 3 older dogs and giving the oldest her meds. The house was left tidy and she was very responsive. Would recommend using her to dogsit/house sit.”
“Cari is just wonderful with our puppers. It’s obvious that she’s built a great relationship with them and that they really like her. Bonus points on keeping the house incredibly clean.”

“Gabe stayed at our house with our dog over the Christmas holiday and did a wonderful job taking care of her, including taking her on a lot of walks and giving her a lot of affection. He was very communicative throughout the process, including sharing helpful updates and photos during our trip. It can be hard to leave your dog in someone’s care and it made such a difference to know she was in good hands with Gabe. We would trust Gabe to stay with her again without hesitation!”

Gabby is fantastic! Very communicative and it’s clear she’s passionate about animal care. She stayed at our house for 4 nights and provided multiple updates each day, including pictures. It was so nice knowing they were safe and in good hands while we were on vacation. She left our house super clean and even put the sheets in the laundry- which was not expected but definitely appreciated. We will continue to book with her for our boarding and drop-in visit needs!
Anna was SUPER attentive and kept us in the loop everyday with pictures and updates. She sent a picture of a very contented (who is usually quite anxious) Teddy getting a belly rub! Highly recommend her for housesitting and we would rebook again when we’re out of town again! I
Ellie did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs! Having the peace of mind knowing they were safe, happy, and well cared for while we were away was invaluable. I would absolutely recommend Ellie to any friends or neighbors looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!
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 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 3,450 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.

- 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.
