We have a reactive and shy dog, and because of this we have never left him with a sitter. We decided to give Rover a try and that is where we met Shylina. She did an amazing job. She took a shy dog that wanted nothing to do with her at the beginning, to a dog that wanted to cuddle with her in bed at night. We highly recommend Shylina. We will definitely use her again.

Nick is an awesome pet sitter! He and his wife, Mary Kate, took great care of our dogs and cats during a last minute weekend stay. Helo and Lupa loved spending time outside and playing fetch with them. They sent pictures and were quick to respond to texts. We’ve booked him again for another weekend so we highly recommend him and Mary Kate!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud pet parent who truly believes pets are part of the family. ❤️ I’m dependable, caring, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, so I make communication a priority. I’m happy to send updates, photos, and plenty of reassurance while you’re away! Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, a little extra attention, or simply a cozy companion while you’re gone, I’d love to help. 🐶🐾 I’m looking forward to getting to know you and your furry family members! I have a flexible schedule and can work with a variety of pet-care needs. I’m happy to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting based on your pet’s routine and your schedule. I’ll work with you ahead of time to make sure your pet gets the care, attention, exercise, and love they need! At this time I do prefer to watch pets in their own home where they are familiar with their surroundings. I will board pets at my home, but I do live on a fairly busy highway with an unfenced yard. If you wish for me to watch your pet in my home, I do ask that they are very well trained off leash or are content being on a long leash outside. I ask this for your pets safety & would absolutely hate for something to happen. When watching pets in my home, my husband comes home every day for lunch during the week and can accommodate play time & bathroom breaks.

Sarah was a fantastic sitter. She was kind, communicative, respectful of our wishes, more than helpful (washed animal dishes without our prompting), etc. I cannot say enough positive things. Her pictures of our animals clearly showed she spent time with them inside our home and in the yard. She engaged with them and made them feel safe while we were out of town during some big storms. We will absolutely be future customers.

Diane was great - one of our biggest concerns is to have someone with our pups pretty much full-time, and to get on-going communication. She was great on both counts - she did need to leave briefly at one point, but let us know ahead of time, and followed our instructions for doing that, and she checked in frequently with updates, photos, and videos to let us know how they were doing! We have Diana scheduled for a short vacation sit, and feel confident that our pups will be well cared for in our absence.

About: I’m a caring person who loves dogs and grew up with a lab. I have experience with taking care of friends puppies and senior dogs. I love to play hard with them so they can sleep good for you! I can walk dogs before I go to work and, take them out immediately when I get back home. I will also make sure they are being fed at the right times. I’m happy to transport pets and have them stay at my apartment for up to a week. I will provide long walks with them on leash and follow procedures at a client’s home. Making sure that the pet is comfortable is a top priority for me.

Griffin was exceptional! This was our first time using Rover.com and he completely exceeded our expectations. Our two Bernese Mountain Dogs loved him and were comfortable with him right out of the gate! We had total peace of mind that our little gang was well taken care of while we were gone! Thank you again Griffin!

About: “I’m experienced and confident in caring for both dogs and cats, including walking, feeding, and maintaining a clean and safe environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, whether it’s an active dog or a shy or independent cat. I’m reliable, responsible, and focused on making sure every pet feels comfortable and well cared for.” Friendly) “I currently work full-time at Great Clips, but I have enough flexibility in my schedule to take on pet care responsibilities. I enjoy staying active, so dog walking and pet visits fit naturally into my daily routine, and I always make sure I have the time to give each pet proper care and attention.” “I adjust my care based on the specific service, but I always prioritize safety, trust, and a positive environment. I carefully follow feeding, walking, and care instructions, keep spaces clean, and ensure pets are always supervised and secure. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and routines, and I focus on creating a calm, stress-free experience for their pets.”

Kallyn is a consummate professional and fantastic at what she does! This was our first time booking with Kallyn and I think we’ve found our forever pet and house sitter. From our initial consult, where she came to our home and spent over an hour getting to know our dogs (I was impressed with the questions she asked from medical needs to our dog’s preferences), to the numerous photos and updates throughout her stay, you can tell she cares deeply about each animal and it was evident our pups enjoyed every minute with her. The peace of mind that provided me was worth every penny and then some.

FAQs for House Sitting - Zumbrota

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Zumbrota on Rover is $35.28 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 248 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Zumbrota. 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 Zumbrota 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 Zumbrota 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 Zumbrota 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 Zumbrota. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 91% 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.
