Marie was wonderful with Bailey. We were away for long stretch and Maria sent many photos and videos which helped being away less stressful. Maria was very communitive and respectful. I would not hesitate to ask Maria to take care of our Bailey.

Belle was awesome! She was on time, communicative, and very loving towards my dogs. She made sure that my dog received his medication twice daily and sent lots of pictures so I wouldn’t miss them too much. 10/10 would book again!

I can’t say enough good things about Sabrina! She took incredible care of my dogs and my home while I was away. She was responsive and kept me updated with pix. It’s not easy trusting someone with both your pet and your space, but she made it completely stress-free. My dogs were so happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for and my home looked better than I left it. I would 100% recommend her and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future! She's amazing!

Angela watched both of my dogs while I was on vacation at my campsite on literally the weekend of July 4, 2022. She is a very kind and gentle soul. She has so much knowledge and compassion working with animals. She took care of my babies with so much love. She very responsible and goes extra! Very trustworthy and kind person. Honestly it was the first time I met her but her personality and compassion shows She on time and goes beyond. You won’t be disappointed and your pets will love her Highly recommend

Allison was absolutely amazing. When I came home, I didn’t even know she was in my home. Everything was exactly the way I left it. She took very good care of my dog. She kept in contact with me and answered my text messages within 10 minutes. She even took the garbage out to the garage!! There was no dirty dishes, even in my dishwasher as I said it didn’t even look like she was here. There was no poop in my backyard. She’s amazing

Marti is fantastic! We had a meet and greet couple of weeks ago. That sealed the deal for me. She had a calming effect on my 16 month old Maltipoo. Missy snuggled up to Marti and trusted her. Marti offered to drive me and pick me up from my eye doctor appointment . It worked out great. Missy was such a good girl riding in Marti’s car. Very pleasant, stress free experience for us. Marti is a kind, smart lady. Her past experience is evident. She will watch Missy again in December at my house for a weekend. So happy to have found Marti.

About: Ive had three cats and two dogs in my life. Currently I have two cats and they are my world. In many instances I've had a cat or dog that doesn't like anyone besides family come up and become my new best friend. Also have been trusted to watch multiple friends animals while on vacation because they loved our time together more than anyone else. During the week it would be a drop in sitting with minimal overnight stays after work. Which means its not out the question but not consistent. Weekends I have more flexibility for overnight stays. My cats are indoors, fed a heathly diet, and stimulated. While at the clients house its dependent on the type of animal and if the animal requires special care.

About: Growing up around dogs of all sizes and ages, dogs with disorders such as anxiety or epilepsy, and dogs that just love to eat any and everything, I've learned how to handle almost any tough situation. I also have pervious experience working as a cashier at a pet store. I am a full-time student with a part time job. The good news? Most of my afternoons are available to be spent with your furry friends! I will spend a good portion of the time playing with your furry friends and helping them get all their wiggles out! If you have a fenced in yard we'll probably spend a lot of time outside (weather permitting!). I will of course ensure your friends have plenty of water, are fed on schedule, and take any medications they need.

About: I don’t just watch pets, I care for them like they’re my own. My King Charles Cavalier Spaniel taught me how meaningful the bond between people and their pets can be, and it’s one of the reasons why I treat every animal with patience, affection, and individualized care. With years of experience, a flexible schedule, and a true passion for animals, you can trust that your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you’re away. 🐶🐱💕 **Completed online Pet CPR and First Aid certification I work full-time, but pet sitting fits well into my weekly schedule because I’m intentional about making time for it. I only take on bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention, care, and reliability they deserve. Mornings, evenings and weekends are open as well as during lunch hours during the work week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and lots of attention. I also treat your home with respect, keep things clean and secure, and provide updates, pictures and videos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I've cared for pets with a variety of personalities, from energetic and playful to shy or anxious, and I adapt my approach to each pet's individual needs.

About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies who need plenty of play and structure to senior pets who require extra patience and gentle care, I understand that every animal has unique needs and deserves individualized attention. I've cared for a variety of breeds and temperaments, and I'm comfortable following specific routines, administering detailed care instructions, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I also have experience caring for pets with disabilities and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and adapting to each pet's individual needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a calm, reassuring presence, I'll provide dependable, compassionate care and treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, capable hands. I'm currently seeking a full-time position, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I can provide consistent, reliable care throughout the day. I'm committed to accommodating your pet's routine and will communicate with you regularly to ensure you have peace of mind while you're away. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. Before each visit, I take the time to understand your pet's schedule, personality, and any special care instructions so I can provide the best possible care. During visits, I make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I'm happy to accommodate each pet's individual needs, whether that means a long walk, extra cuddle time, or a slower pace for senior or special-needs pets. I also keep litter boxes clean, clean up after pets, and make sure your home is left just as I found it. Communication is important to me, so I'll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

About: Hi! I’m Emma, and I absolutely love animals! 🐾 I’m a proud pet mom to a husky mix, a cat, and a bearded dragon, and I truly believe pets are part of the family. I’ve cared for all kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, reptiles, and hamsters. I also worked at a doggy daycare in college and have experience with dog walks and drop-in visits. I love taking long walks, teaching dogs new tricks, and, of course, giving lots of cuddles! Whether your pet needs a long walk, some playtime, a little extra attention, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll treat your pets like I treat my own—with lots of patience, attention, and love! ❤️ My schedule is very flexible, especially during the summer! I’m freely available for most of August, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. Once the school year begins, I’m available for pet care before work on weekdays until 7 AM and after work starting around 4 PM. I’m also available throughout weekends, school holidays, and breaks. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and do my best to accommodate your schedule! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs and will follow your care instructions carefully. I’m attentive to details and will always make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety measures are secure. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and energy levels, and I’ll never force interaction if your pet needs space or time to warm up. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want from someone caring for my own animals. ❤️🐾

FAQs for House Sitting - Shawnee

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Shawnee on Rover is $45.02 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 569 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 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 Shawnee. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 86% 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.
