“Erin was absolutely amazing! She came and met our dogs before our trip and took notes. We got multiple updates and photos every day we were gone which was very reassuring. She was very professional and took great care of our dogs! Highly recommend!”
“Pamela was wonderful. Shoveled after the first snow, and kept the house clean while watching the pups. She would send lots of pictures and updates. Our pitty warmed up to her and we got lots of pics of her snuggling.”
“At our first meeting, I could tell Carolyn would be a capable and dependable caregiver for Samson and Maisie. Maisie kept offering Carolyn her paw and I knew it would be okay, leaving my fur babies for the first time. I appreciated the pictures, communication and Carolyn’s flexibility with my schedule issues. Hope to be able to utilize Carolyn’s services again in the near future!”
“Shantanice was just fantastic. She was super detail oriented when learning about our dog and his routines. She sent us pictures and videos every day while we were away and even checked out mail and took out our trash. The house looked exactly as it did the day we left it. We will absolutely use Shantanice again and can’t recommend her enough!”
“Ell was great! She was attentive to our instructions of care and provided updates for us! We were at ease knowing they were in good hands! 10/10 would recommend booking Ell!”
“Haley was amazing! She sent us quite a few updates and pictures of our dog Millie. She left our house in perfect condition. We would highly recommend using Haley for house/dog sitting!”
About: I have always loved dogs and grew up with my own and truly enjoy taking care of them. I'm dependable, attentive, and experienced with petsitting, I will treat your animals like family. I work full time, but have a flexible enough schedule to care for your pets. I am very willing to negotiate a flexible schedule to meet you and your pets needs. I am free in the evenings and weekends! I would prefer staying at my clients home. I have found that this is easier for the pet to be comfortable in their own home and space.
“Emily was extremely patient with our anxious and cautious dog. She kept me updated on how he was doing throughout our time away and made sure we knew he was in good hands. Would highly reccomend!”
“Mikayla was very sweet and seemed very happy to watch Charlie! She only watched Charlie this time but got to meet Zeus and Zeus absolutely LOVED her. I always say a dog can tell when someone is a good person and she was very kind. I will be booking with her again.”
About: Hi! I’m Kenzie, and I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family! Animals have been a huge part of my life and work for years. I have five years of experience in veterinary medicine as a technician, where I’ve had the privilege of caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities… everything from dogs and cats to monkeys and mice! My veterinary background has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety. I also have hands-on experience with puppy and adult dog obedience training, as well as canine scent work. I’m currently canine CPR certified and continuing my education through professional dog training certifications. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a little extra attention during a drop-in, or someone to keep them company while you’re away. I know every animal has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each one special. I’m insured through Pet Sitters Associates and always welcome a meet-and-greet before starting services. It’s a great opportunity for us to get acquainted, discuss your pet’s needs, and make sure everyone feels comfortable. I know trusting someone with your pets is a big deal. I’m a pet owner myself, and I would never take that responsibility lightly. Your pets deserve patience, kindness, and the same thoughtful care I’d want for my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family members! 🐾 My goal is to make this a full time job, as I am soon to be transitioning out of my current 9-5. My time is free, flexible, and available for your needs. While I cannot offer pets into my own home, I spend SO much time exploring the world with my current dog. We go on long walks, hikes to new places, swimming extravaganzas, and more. Whether its a short 30 minute walk, or a 45 minute, fully-enriching adventure, your pet will have the time of their life alongside mine.
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Abigail was dependable and timely, kept in great communication the entire time, and sent lots of sweet photos of our dog. It made being away so much easier. She also left our home incredibly tidy, which we truly appreciated. We will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Lauren was fantastic as a dog sitter and such a sweet person! She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay. She kept my house so clean, I couldn’t even tell she was there. My dog has some restrictions with furniture and stairs, due to his back, and she handled it perfectly. I will for sure be using Lauren again.”
“Isabel was able to jump in and watch our pets when 2 other sitters canceled within a week of our departure. Keep us informed with notes and photos and did a great job with the house during her stay. Thanks so much for watching our pups!”
“We had Andie house sit for us while we were out of town for a few days and I would highly recommend booking with her! She was very nice and easy to work with and our animals were well taken care of. The house was left in perfect shape and with happy animals!”
About: I've taken care of my dog for a little over 6 years, an extremely anxious rescue. He is well trained and very social. I can work with any sorts of dogs, small and loud, big and reactive, anything in between. Long or short walks. I currently in between jobs and doing some interviews, so I have plenty of time to help take care of your pet as if they were my own! I have one dog who lives in an apartment, but he is very active and socially. We go on at least one 2ish mile walk per day, but he loves playing fetch or with other dogs at the dog park.
“Sandra was great with my two dogs. She went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of! I was a little nervous leaving them, but once I met Sandra I knew they would be in great hands. When I returned home, everything was perfect--dogs were happy and everything was cleaner than I left it. ? I highly recommend Sandra and will be using her again in the near future!”
About: I've worked in veterinary medicine for 10 years. I have experience handling most dog breeds and attitudes. I am comfortable administering medications and sticking to their trained routines. I am willing to make drop in visits for dog walks or overnight stays for the more high maintenance pups. I can not offer in my home boarding as I have 5 cats who would probably disown me if I brought a dog inside. I am available for drop in visits early morning and after 4pm Mon to Fri. Open availability on the weekends. I have a reliable car for transportation in case you live outside of Midtown. I am willing to travel a short distance to care for your pet. I will take care of your pet while staying at your home. I will treat the property with respect, as if it's an Airbnb and will get charged a cleaning fee. I will make sure your pet's routine is not disrupted and that they feel comfortable with my presence. I would require a meet and greet before accepting the job and that we take a walk with your pet as well.
About: I have taken care of friends and family members dogs while they are out of town or just not available. I love learning the dog’s personality and giving them the care that works best for them. I work 11am-7pm M-F, so I will be able to check in on pets in the morning, during my lunch break, and after work as well. I currently have one anxious chihuahua, which makes me especially aware of the importance of making the animal comfortable and not pushing boundaries. I grew up with a variety of dogs with all different energy levels, temperaments, and size, so I am comfortable adapting to what is best for the animal!

I highly recommend Maddie for any house/pet sitting needs you have. We have two very spoiled rotten pets (cat and dog), and she took amazing care of them. Maddie also did a great job keeping us updated on anything we needed to know and also sent us pictures of our fur babies while we were gone. We will definitely be asking Maddie to help us out again in the future.
Erin took such great care of our home and family. She sent us regular updates and photos of our three pugs and cat, as well as gave great feedback on their activities while we were away. We are so grateful to Erin and her willingness to stay at our home and take care of our family while we were away and we sure hope we can count on her again in the future!
This is the first time I’ve needed someone to stay with my two goofball dogs for an extended time. In short, Kelly did a great job and I needn’t have worried in the slightest! Clearly a lover of dogs, her regular text updates and photos further reassured me that all was well at home. So yes, I highly recommend Kelly!
Mikayla was very sweet and seemed very happy to watch Charlie! She only watched Charlie this time but got to meet Zeus and Zeus absolutely LOVED her. I always say a dog can tell when someone is a good person and she was very kind. I will be booking with her again.
Sarah was AMAZING! She took excellent care of the dogs and loved them and was in contact with us daily with pictures and videos. She also left the house looking great, had food made for when we got home, and even had the dogs do an art project for us! We will be using her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Shawnee is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $59 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 November 2026, there are 1,626 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shawnee. 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 Shawnee 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 Shawnee 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 Shawnee 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
