“Hanna was wonderful and i definitely recommend her to house sit for your fur babies. She stayed in touch for the whole vacation and you could tell in the pictures she sent that my dogs were having a great time.”
“Stephanie was amazing! She kept in close contact with us and watched over the dogs and gave us lots of updates! She was very flexible and friendly! Will definitely use again!”
“Alexis does a wonderful job! She took great care of Susie while I was out of town for a week. She is dependable and so good to communicate with me about everything. I highly recommend Alexis for all your pet care needs!”
About: I have been around many types of dogs and cats my whole life. I have learned to care for, be responsible for, and love them all. You can count on me to care for and treat your dog or cat family like you do, to the very best of my ability! I will happily go to your home for morning and evening care. I have a fenced backyard, and they can have the run of the house, or I could easily crate them if that is what they are comfortable with.
“Alaina was great! She took the boys for some walks, one got muddy and she bathed him, and one also got an upset stomach one day in the house. She cleaned it all up and made sure he was good to go. She really did well with my furry kids. I will use her again whenever I am in need of someone to trust with them.”
“We were nervous having never left our 6 animals for any prolonged period, but Lauren exceeded our expectations. She communicated with us throughout the entire time we were gone, sending us pictures and updates. Lauren was quick to respond to our message’s prior to booking, even though we contacted on such short notice before the holidays. Our kitty got sick on the tail end of our trip, she stayed longer to make sure he was ok. Lauren was even able to get our problem child (dog) onto friendly terms within day 1. Lauren is very experienced, friendly, and a great communicator, we would highly recommend her services.”
About: We’ve both owned pets since we were born, taking care of various neighbors pets whenever they needed. We find so much value in keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I’m a stay at home mom, and doing this makes that possible! I find it amazing I’m able to spend my days with not only my cute little baby, but hopefully your fur babies too! I know pets miss their owners while they are away, and I know the stress of being away from your animal. It’s my priority to ensure that your pets have the best time possible while they are with me and so can feel as comfortable as possible with them in my care.
“Lesa did an amazing job! All four of our babies were well cared for! Lots of pics & videos. She took her time letting them warm up to her & you can tell from the videos they were all comfortable being cared by her. Thank you so much for taking care of our kiddos while we were away! She even brought in our mail & packages!! Very thoughtful ? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Sabrina looked after my two big boys (a Lab and a Weim) while I am recuperating from a medical procedure. She was excellent with my boys and they had no problems with her. Will absolutely use her again.”
“Shelby was great! She did a meet and greet the day before to see my boys. She sent pictures and updates. And she was flexible with our schedule. My boys were so well taken care of!”
“Cassidy took great care of our fur babies! Our normal sitter was not available this time, so of course went with another. She took the time to spend with our senior pup when she needed it the most and also gave lots of love to our kitties and cleaned their boxes without asking. Would recommend or use again if needed!”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was a child. I have vast experience with anxious or nervous dogs and ones with high energy. I have cared for dogs from Chihuahuas and Dachshunds to Great Danes, Mastiffs, and Huskies and currently regularly dog sit two dogs. I have taken care of puppies as well as older dogs with special needs including two diabetic dachshunds that went blind. I also have no issue with changing diapers for dogs as needed! I am currently available any time except for Thursdays from 3:30-5:30pm for pet care! I don’t mind checking on pets very early or very late in the day either! I prefer to meet the client/pet prior to beginning pet sitting to ensure I can ask all necessary questions for their care. I have experience with anxious animals and am fast at picking up on each animals specific preferences.

About: I have loved and owned various animals since childhood and cared for dozens of others throughout the years. I am a former vet tech so I am comfortable with medications, injections, special diets and any other needs. I lead with compassion and would love to help you keep your dogs in their comfort zone while you are away. I have a very flexible schedule to accommodate housesitting, drop in visits and walking. I am available short notice and for extended periods of time. Reach out to me to discuss your needs! I have a large fenced yard and a 13 year old daughter who loves to play cuddle and assist with pet care. I am very accomodating and will make sure your pets are safe and comfortable.
“Ashly was great with out 3 dogs! She checked on our boys frequently during the day and then stayed in my guest bedroom overnight. We requested that they sleep in the bed with her and she didn’t mind at all. She was even prepared to take them to the tornado shelter one night. I would recommend Ashly and I will be using her again (:”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for 25+ animals, so I’m calm, patient, and confident in situations most sitters aren’t. I don’t just ‘watch’ pets, I understand behavior, routines, and how to keep them safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I’m available for pet care in the evenings after 3 PM on weekdays, with flexible availability on weekends. I’m reliable, responsive, and able to accommodate consistent schedules or last-minute bookings when needed. I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm and familiar. I follow all feeding, cleaning, and medication instructions closely, maintain a clean space, and give each pet attention at their comfort level. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Animals have been my world for as long as I can remember. What started as helping family, friends and neighbors care for everything from birds to horses eventually grew into a lifelong career. Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked as a professional kennel technician and spent six dedicated years as a pet groomer. Because of this background, I bring a wealth of hands-on expertise to pet sitting, including administering medications, managing special routines, understanding strict diet precautions, handling grooming needs, and much more. This isn't just a professional skill set for me, it's a personal one. At home, I care for my own sweet pack of senior and special needs cats and dogs who require precise daily medications, so keeping your pet's health routine perfectly on track is second nature to me. I truly believe our pets are family, and they deserve nothing less than the absolute best. I would love to give your furry best friend the expert care, safety, and deep affection they deserve while you're away! I currently work full time in ER overnight Tuesday-Thursday. This allows me to be available most days, ecspecially Friday-Monday. My husband is also off during the summer, so if your fur babies are being boarded at my house, they have 24/7 care. In my home, I have a room dedicated to animals that I board. So if you want them kept separate from my animals they can be. If you want them to have company, I have both cats and dogs that are loving and love new friends. I have a huge back yard that is treated against things like fleas/ticks and it is animal safe. I can provide crates for any size dog if needed. I have tons of dog toys, cat toys, and little pools for cooling down on hot days. I spend a lot of time making interactive fun play times for all my animals. For cats, they also have their own room with calming Sentry plug in to help create a calm environment for them. They will have their own litter boxes, toys, and every comfortable place they can lay in with lots of sunlight. My husband is off in the summers, and I work nights so I am up at night on my days off, in our home your animals have 24 hour care. As far as for care in your own home, I will care for them anyway that you normally do. I offer walks, play time, I can give them pets and hugs, I will do whatever they need to feel comfortable and safe. I can follow any specialized routine your pet may need. I also offer baths and nail trims if requested and it can be completed without stressing the animal too much. I offer these services for both cats and dogs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Shawnee on Rover is $28.86 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 322 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.

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.
