“Lauren was extremely responsive, helped walk me through the process as a newbie to the app, and asked great question to prepare for her visit that made me feel confident my cat was in good hands. She sent great photos and was communicative during her stay. Would definitely recommend and would love to work with Lauren again in the future!”
“Liv was great! Lots of updates and photos. She bonded with our cat and dog very quickly. She did an excellent job of cleaning up going above and beyond our expectations. We would definitely hire her again.”
“We were very lucky to find Iuliia. She stayed with our very sweet, but very anxious dog over the holidays. It took our pup a little while to adjust, but she quickly warmed up and the two became fast friends. We will definitely work with Iuliia again in the future.”
“This was our second time booking Rachel and she does a wonderful job with our high-energy dogs! She even took them on walks and played with them. She also keeps the house tidy and clean. We would definitely book Rachel again and highly recommend her as a pet/house sitter.”
“Hannah took care of our yellow lab/house sat for several days when we were on vacation. She sent photos and updates daily and our dog looked so happy! Hannah was extremely accommodating to all of our requests and even left a very clean house for our return. Thank you so much Hannah! We are so lucky to have found you!!”
“Christina was very responsive and helpful during her statue with my dog. I received updates throughout the day and, when I was a bit late in returning, she stayed until I got back. I really appreciated it.”
“Brooke was very accommodating with our last minute booking due to a death in the family and also dealt with some last minute unexpected super early morning delivery needs. She was awesome!”
“Sharron did an incredible job watching our two pups! She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and cared for at every moment. When your dogs are like your babies it means the world to have someone like Sharron looking after them. I would recommend Sharron to anyone!”
“We can’t speak highly enough of Garrett! He stayed at our house watching our 2 dogs and 1 cat and I’m pretty sure it was as much of a vacation for them as ours was! Garrett sent updates with photos and I could tell how happy our animals were! He had all 3 animals sleeping with him and took great care of them and the house! We highly recommend using Garrett, I know we definitely will for our next trip!”
“Gretchen did a great job taking care of Rocky and Wally. We came home to happy healthy dogs and she left our house clean and well kept. We would absolutely rebook!”
“Michelle was fantastic with my pup, who has a few quirks and can be reactive on walks. She truly put my mind at ease and was patient, confident, and communicative the whole time. My pup clearly felt comfortable and happy with her - I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a caring and capable sitter!”
“Judith did a great job with our two dogs. She sent frequent updates with pictures, spent lots of quality time with the dogs, and left our house perfectly clean and tidy. Would be happy to book again.”
“Ciboney was the sweetest house guest and took such good care of our elderly pup. He is a older and nervous but still thinks he is a puppy so boarding him at a friends or pet hotel doesn't work with his nerves. She was polite and helpful even when the power went out for a day. Don't hesitate to work with her!”
“Gabriel took such great care of our pets and our home while we were away. He is a great communicator and sent pictures each day, which we loved. He read and followed the instructions we left and when we arrived home our pets seemed very happy. We will definitely use Gabriel again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Alina! Olivia was absolutely wonderful with her, kept me updated throughout the evening, and sent the sweetest photos. She’s such a lovely person, incredibly communicative, and very responsible. I felt completely comfortable knowing Alina was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!”
“Olivia did an incredible job with our three babies! She was very attentive and communicative. We appreciated her thoughtfulness when caring for them. We would recommend her anytime!”
“Thank you so much, Megan, for watching our 9mo puppy and 2 cats for the 10 days we were gone! The puppy is a large trouble maker but you were a great communicator and we came home to a nice clean house. Thanks so much!!”
“Bonnie was truly excellent. We were gone and out of service for 5 days so needed someone truly trustworthy to watch our dog (2 yrs) and cat (10 yrs). Bonnie was attentive, patient and flexible to their needs. They were obviously happy and well cared for when we returned home. We would recommend Bonnie highly and will certainly reach out to them for any future pet sitting needs!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Saint Paul
I cannot say enough good things about Ryan. He is a good communicator and has really great dog skills. He watched my dogs for 2 weeks and made sure they got their medications, their excercise and attention. He has experience with leash aggressive dogs which allowed me to relax on vacation knowing my tempermental dog was in good hands.
Jeremiah was a fantastic dog and house sitter! He has such calm energy and our dog seemed comfortable with him right away during the meet & greet. Jeremiah sent videos and photos during his stay and left the house spotless. We wouldn't hesitate to book him again in the future. Highly recommend!
Karen took amazing care of our senior dog Mike! She took him for walks, made sure he had a bed wherever she was, lots of lap time and even took him to get pupcups! She sent a lot of photos and updates. She even washed and remade the bed! Would 100% hire again and highly recommend her!!
Paige was so wonderful!! She was so good with our cat, Ginger, who was very relaxed, calm, and happy when we returned from our trip. Paige sent lots of pictures every day and communicated well what was going on in the house and with Ginger. She was also very patient with me as a first time Rover user who had lots of questions. She always responded quickly and was very reassuring, as I am nervous before I travel. I would highly recommend her to care for your pet(s)!
Hannah did an incredible job caring for our fur babies! She gave us detailed information about how they were doing, and checked in often. She even navigated a detector in the house that unexpectedly went off! Hopefully we'll be able to work with Hannah again soon!
This sitter was amazing! Highly recommend. Our pets loved her and were well taken care of. Our anxious dog had no issues while we were away. She was clean, took initiative to bring in the trash bins and get our mail (things we didn’t ask her to do). 10/10 would recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - West Saint Paul
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in West Saint Paul is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $93 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,435 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Saint Paul. 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 West Saint Paul 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 West Saint Paul 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 West Saint Paul 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
