“Our first time using Rover and we were SUPER pleased. Alexis was a great communicator, spent a lot of time at our home, sent frequent updates on our pup and was very respectful of our home. We would absolutely have Alexis back!”
“We had such a great experience with Amber! From the meet and greet, Charlie was comfortable with her, which immediately put us at ease. She took wonderful care of him, kept us updated throughout our trip, and treated both our dog and our home with so much care and respect. It was clear she genuinely cared about Charlie, and knowing he was in such good hands allowed us to fully enjoy our time away. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and we couldn't be more grateful. We would absolutely book with Amber again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“My dog and I fell in love. Andrea is amazing. I feel so comfy on vacation because she is an excellent sitter for my Kayce. My pitbull was in heaven! She is the best. Highly recommend.”
“Meg was amazing!! She sent us daily updates and photos, and handled my Aussie’s Epilepsy meds daily with no issues. Plus she did laundry and cleaned up the house before we got home! Shes the best!”
About: I’ve always loved taking care of animals especially dogs and cats! I have 2 dogs (mini dachshund and german shepherd) and a cat, so I’m used to taking care of diverse pets. I’m comfortable with taking care of feeding, walking, playtime, potty breaks, giving lots of attention, and making the pets feel comfortable while you are gone. I’ve been trusted watching family, friends and neighbors pets for years now! I’m a very patient, responsible owner and I love spending time with animals! I am currently in school 3 days a week in the mornings so I will have plenty of time to watch your pets! I’m at home most of the time. I am available on weekends fully, weekdays I am open after 12pm! (Mondays after 3 because of long classes) Making pets feel comfortable and safe if the most important thing to me! At home, I make sure they have plenty of attention, food, and clean water. I love cuddling and playing with them. I take my pups on walks and ensure they’re safe. I’m able to follow your pets daily routine as close as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks and anything else you need. I’m also here to help keep your space tidy! But most important, I am here to give all the love and attention your pet needs.
“Amber was an excellent caregiver to our pups. She was extremely detailed with her updates and followed through on our many to-do’s (as one of our dogs is on several medications). She is very trustworthy and competent. I felt very comfortable with her staying in our home - plus she was flexible during an unexpected power outage. Definitely would recommend!”
“Danish had a wonderful time with Samantha! I got daily updates on their time together. Samantha is responsive, easy going, and great to work with. We are definitely going to book with Samantha again!”
“Thank you so much Madison for all your help and attention for taking good care of Hank while we were out of town. We will definitely be rebooking! Knowing he just had surgery on Monday and having you be able to administer medication etc. was such a great piece of mind. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about four years and worked in a veterinary hospital for three years. I have cared for cats, dogs, reptiles, and even farm animals. With my veterinary experience, I understand animal behavior and basic medical needs, allowing me to provide loving, reliable, and attentive care while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time as a waitress, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and provide attentive, consistent care for pets. When I have advance notice, I can adjust my work schedule to accommodate pet sitting needs. For overnight stays, I prioritize spending most of my time in the pet’s home to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for. I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I like to follow routines, maintain a clean and secure environment, and provide plenty of attention and supervision. With my past experience, I’m attentive to behavior changes and health needs to ensure safe, reliable care.
About: I’ve been around dogs and all animals my whole life and an array of animals growing up. I’ve gained professional dog training and handling experience over the last year and a half. I’ve managed large groups of dogs and worked more independently on individualized training. I have 3 of my own dogs and 2 cats so I know how important it is for your furry friends to get loving care while you are traveling. I’m hoping to gain a clientele of drop in dog walking clients during the day on the weekdays. My work can be very flexible, so I can drop in to care for you dog during the work day. I will care for your pet by providing drop in services for dogs where we could go for a walk or play in clients yard if Applicable. Care for cats by dropping in checking food and water, scooping litter, and giving your cat some love.
“Despite the difficulty of my anxious dog, Geneva was very attentive and kept me informed throughout the day. She was very patient with my does needs and did a great job taking care of them.”
“Cory was awesome: very communicative and consistent in updates, he let us know whenever he would need to leave the house for a little while (which was also communicated ahead of time), and kept our place clean. Very capable and confident, which is especially needed for one of our dogs who tends to be more reactive. I’m so grateful we went with him and we genuinely look forward to using his services again in the future!”
About: With a background in veterinary technology schooling and professional experience at a dog daycare, I offer knowledgeable, high-quality care for your beloved pets. I have a lifetime of hands-on experience owning and caring for animals of all sizes—from hamsters to horses—and am fully confident and experienced in administering medications if your pet needs them. Whether your animal is big, small, high-energy, or needs extra medical attention, I am dedicated to keeping them safe, happy, and well-loved while you are away! I am currently a stay at home mom with a 3 year old little boy. Looking to make some extra money helping others with trustworthy and loving care for their pets. I would love to provide care for clients from their homes. I can do over nights, or just spend a few hours with your beloved pet. Take them on walks and give them lots of cuddles.
About: I grew up on a farm with 2 dogs and lots of other animals. Both dogs were part of the family and slept in the house. One always by my bed. I owned a Boxer and a Yorkie as an adult. They were part of the family growing up with my kids. Both dogs have crossed the Rainbow Bridge and my kids are adults living their best lives with their significant others. I have two loving cats. I volunteer with the MN Boxer Rescue picking up and transporting to foster care when it meshes with my schedule. Recently put my name on their list for emergency foster care just to get the dog in need here to Minnesota until a long term foster care provider is available. I enjoy pet sitting for my dog fix and it helps support my horseback riding lessons😊 I work Monday through Friday full time. I am able to work from home one day a week. I have watched both big and small dogs on this schedule and have had no issues. This might not work for all dogs during the week as each one is different. I baby gate my stairs so my cats can run around upstairs and come down to check out your dog if they want. At night your dog can stay downstairs loose if you tell me he/she is ok that way or crated. If he/she needs to be with me in the same room at night that works too, but preferably in a crate as my cats sleep with me. If it is only for a weekend I can put the cats in my spare bedroom at night so your dog would not have to be crated in my room. Every dog is different, so I am flexible. I live across from the Mississippi Gateway Regional park in a townhouse with lots of trails for walking. I am only a 10 minute walk from a dog park. I will take your dog out as often as you let me know he/she needs to go out. Like I said , I work full time during the week, so I might not fit your dogs needs if he/she is not able to hold it while I am gone at work. Weekends I am home.
About: I have five years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals for friends, family, and neighbors. I also grew up around animals, so pet care has always been a natural part of my life. I love making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits easily into my day because I’m home and available throughout the day. I enjoy giving pets the time, attention, and care they need to feel happy and comfortable. I make pets feel safe and loved by following their routine, giving them playtime, attention, and keeping their space clean. Whether in my home or theirs, I make sure they’re happy and comfortable.
“Kaiden was amazing!! He sent so many pictures and updates even though we were only gone for a day. We came home to three very happy and very healthy pups. Will definitely look to book Kaiden again in the future!!”
“Hailey was super amazing! Great communication, and very friendly. Kept me updated throughout her stay so I knew what was going on, which was very much appreciated.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, from dogs and cats to turtles and horses! Being around animals makes me very happy and this is a way that I love to destress! I would absolutely love to help you and add a little less stress or worry to your day by playing with your dog(s), taking them on walks, whatever you might need! It causes for less stress on both parties! I used to work on a farm and my job was to feed all the animals (over 50!!) in a timely way and I absolutely loved it! If your dog has a special meal plan I will make sure to adhere to it and that they get lots of love and pets along the way!

The average cost of House Sitting in Zimmerman is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $67 per night.

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 Zimmerman 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 Zimmerman 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 Zimmerman 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.
