“Hannah was an absolutely perfect sitter, and we cannot wait to use her again! Our pups were genuinely happy when we came back from our trip, - you could tell they had been played with and loved on. They didn't lose any weight while we were gone and didn't seem stressed at all from our absence! All signs of great care given! Hannah communicated very well, even sending us pics and updates of our dogs, cats, and horses. Would highly recommend Hannah to anyone in need of any type of care for their pets!!”
“We were nervous to leave our 4 month old puppy for the first time over the holiday, but Stephanie has watched a lot of pups and has a dog to make our pooch feel comfortable. He did so great with her we are so happy about it. She is awesome to communicate with and a wonderful friend! She also watched our cat over the summer after he had surgery while we were on a 10 day vacation.”
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.
“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 ? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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.”
“Shelby is…hands down…the BEST!!! I have never left my babies with anyone but family, until I found her…best decision ever!!! She made the whole experience worry free!!! I am so thankful to have found her!!! ❤️”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. For the past eight or so years I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends. I have experience caring for sick/injured pets that require a more delicate touch. Whether it’s puppies and kittens or little old ladies and gents I can guarantee the best care that fulfill your pets needs. I am currently taking a gap year before starting my masters and am free most days, so I’ll be able to dedicate as much time as is needed for your furry friends I have a car of my own with pet friendly seats that can accommodate most pets and I am willing to drive to and from homes in order to provide care.
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals since I was 10 years old. I worked on my aunt’s ranch where I cared for a variety of animals including dogs and cats. I also have a lot of experience with dogs since I showed my dog in 4H and won several awards. I love animals of all shapes and sizes so I’m sure I will be a perfect fit for your furry friend. I care for my pets every morning and every night. During three of the weekdays, I have class but I return home right after to spend time with them and get them exercise. I carry dog treats with me when doing visits to help the dogs feel more comfortable. I also enjoy taking long walks with dogs to keep them entertained. I am particularly fond of cats, as they are my favorite animal. I have four cats myself, and I think cats are truly precious. I love taking care of animals. My apartment complex features a significant amount of green space and a dog park. In my apartment, there are dog toys, cat toys, cat trees, and three different pet water fountains.
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’ve had dogs since I was 6 years old, I’ve rescued 4, and been a Kennel tech. I am very experience with different animals and ages/size. I can work with any schedule - weekly/daily. I am pretty open and I work for myself so it makes it easy to be flexible. One is caged due to being a runner, the other has free roam. They play outside quite often, are given plenty of treats. They have free access to food and water.
About: I have professional experience working in a pet care facility, where I cared for dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have completed pet care certifications that have strengthened my knowledge of animal behavior, safety, and best care practices. I am comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, and following specialized care instructions. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for every pet while giving owners peace of mind through regular updates and photos. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, exercise, medication, playtime, or extra companionship, I can accommodate their needs. I strive to keep pets on their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my highest priorities. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under supervision. I also have friendly, well-socialized pets that can provide companionship for dogs who enjoy social interaction. My professional pet care experience, certifications, and medication administration experience allow me to confidently care for pets with a variety of needs. Every pet receives individualized attention, a clean and secure environment, plenty of affection, and regular updates so you always know how they’re doing during their stay.
“We cannot overstate how excellent Robert was for us. It's immediately clear when meeting Robert that he values our dogs as his own. Robert was very flexible and exceeded our expectations, despite the challenges of handling the care of our multiple dogs.”
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.
About: I have over 4 years of hands-on pet care experience, along with growing up with my own pets, which taught me responsibility, patience, and the importance of loving, consistent care. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies who may need basic training reinforcement to senior pets who require extra attention and gentle care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently I student at the university of Oklahoma and don’t have class on Tuesday or Thursday. I’m available for boarding on the weekends and after 6 on Monday and Wednesday. In my apartment complex we have a dog park that I would love to take your pets too if you are comfortable. I also have a big apartment so there plenty of room for them to run around.
About: I have grown up around pets my whole life and have always loved their company. At a young age I wanted to be a veterinarian so I can learn more of animals. Even though I did not take that route in my education I still have taken care of many pets with disregards to age range or personality. Coming from someone who has experience with a pet with an illness I know how important it is to insure their health and safety. I am solely focused on their need of comfort and safety in my care . I believe open communication and direction for the care of your loved ones is very important in this role. I currently work a full-time job so my availability is not as open. I am currently open on weekends and the occasional weekdays, I will try my best to align with yours and your pets schedule. I intend to keep the best environment of safety and enjoyment wherever it may be. I will work to keep the peace and chaos in a healthy balance, whatever your pet will need.
“We and our pups love Brittney! She sent us daily pictures and videos of them having fun. I think the pups were a little melancholy the day after she left as they missed her.”
“Lucy filed in on short notice for a two week vacation trip. She took good care of our two dogs including one that is very wary of strangers. Our house was immaculate when we returned and our plants were in great shape also.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Shawnee
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Shawnee on Rover is $28.86 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 332 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.
