“Alyssa is AMAZING. our lil rescue Chiweenie can be a nervous guy and Alyssa was great with him and super patient. We had her come by and hang out while we were gone and it was so great having the peace of mind knowing someone was home with him. We will definitely be booking her again if needed in the future!”
“McKenna was amazing! This was my first time leaving my pups home for the weekend and having someone come house sit. McKenna helped put my mind at ease when we did the meet and greet. One of my pups left an unexpected surprise (my pup threw a tantrum and destroyed a furniture) for McKenna and she was so nice and cleaned it up for me. I came home to happy pups and I would recommend her. I’d have her back!”
About: I have lifelong experience caring for animals of all kinds! I grew up on a farm, where caring for horses, livestock, and other animals was simply part of everyday life. Today, I continue that passion by fostering dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens through my local humane society, giving animals a safe, loving place to grow and thrive until they find their forever homes. I also have experience caring for small animals such as guinea pigs and rabbits, so whether your family includes four hooves, four paws, or tiny whiskers, they'll be in capable hands. As a teacher, I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to routines and individual needs, and I know every animal has its own personality. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs a little extra care, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax while you're away. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making animal care a natural part of my daily routine and ensuring each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide consistent, attentive care in a calm, loving environment. You can also expect regular updates and photos, so you'll always know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
“Kelly went so above and beyond with our animals, we are so grateful we found her! She spent time with each and every one of our animals making sure they all felt comfortable. We won’t be going with any other sitter if we can help it in the future.”
“Elizabeth is very responsive. She took great care of my nervous pup and cat on short notice. She left the house cleaner than it was when she arrived, I think! We've already booked our next sit with Elizabeth and I look forward to having great peace of mind while we are gone.”
About: I have a tremendous love and respect for all animals. My attentive nature surges when in the presence of any animal… they are all I care about! I have been taking care of my family and friends pets for years! I can do special instructions with medicine for animals as well. I am currently working at Starbucks as a barista. My store that I work at is only 5 mins from my apartment. My shifts are normally no longer than 6 hours, and my boyfriend is home full time as well. Besides from work I am always home! I live in a cozy apartment with two of my own little kitties! I have a soft, large, playpen enclosure for your pet if needed, but my kitties are pretty friendly!
“This was my first Pet Sitter experience with Bradley and what I think stands out the most to me about Bradley is that he genuinely cared about and for our dog, Huxley, while we were away. I know a lot of people say that they love animals, but you could see the authenticity in Bradley as he greeted and played with Huxley. I highly recommend Bradley”
About: 🐾 Lifelong Pet Lover & Trusted Caregiver 🐾 Hi! I’m Isabella — a devoted animal lover who has grown up surrounded by both dogs and cats my entire life. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do; it’s truly part of who I am. From playful puppies to senior cats with special needs, I genuinely enjoy building trust and connection with every pet I care for. I currently own three cats, so I fully understand feline personalities — from the affectionate cuddle bugs to the independent observers. I also have hands-on experience administering cat inhalers, which means I’m comfortable caring for pets who require extra patience, attentiveness, and consistency. Your pet’s health and comfort are always my top priority. In addition to my personal experience, I’m a volunteer with the Humane Society, where I’ve worked with animals of all temperaments and backgrounds. This has strengthened my ability to read body language, adapt to individual needs, and provide calm, compassionate care — especially for shy, anxious, or rescue pets. I’ve also grown up with dogs and am very comfortable with their routines, energy levels, and unique personalities. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or simply keeping them company, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I pride myself on being dependable, detail-oriented, and communicative. I follow instructions carefully and love sending updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I don’t just watch pets — I treat them like family. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry companion and provide the same love and attention I give my own. 🐶🐱💙 I am available every week day, including weekends. I am available early morning and late nights, unless I specify otherwise. And if I do, it will be posted somewhere on my account. Whatever you need me to do with your animal, I can do. As long as me and the animal are safe and have a healthy environment, I am completely fine with taking care of the animal the way you need me to.
“We had an amazing experience with Alivia and would recommend her to everyone looking for a dog sitter! She took such good care of our dog while we were gone. He’s kind of anxious around new people and she was so kind and patient with him, she sent us videos of him wagging his tail and being goofy :)”
“Noelle is so sweet, responsive, responsible & respectful! Our boys took to her easily (and that’s rare!) - she stayed at our home and took amazing care of them. She asked the right questions, stayed in contact throughout the stay and was willing to go above and beyond. Highly recommended!”
“Natalya was attentive and gave exceptional care. She administered supplements, kept feeding time schedules, and took time for outdoor activities. We appreciated her communication and pictures. We will definitely schedule her for upcoming care. Thank you, Natalya for giving us a peace of mind. :-)))”
About: I've been called a dog whisperer too many times to count! I absolutely love dogs, cats, and other furry or feathered friends. I grew up with guinea pigs, cats, and dogs. I'm experienced in cage-cleaning, play time, giving medication, walking, and light training. I have pet-sat for several dogs, cats, and smaller friends. I highly respect any rules or training routines you and your fur babies adhere to. As long as I have clear instructions, I will stick to your guidelines. I have friends whose dogs have high-maintenance routines, and I know how awful it is when someone else interferes with those routines. I will love your pets like my own, but I will absolutely follow whatever expectations you set. I have flexible availability this summer. I am a student in an accelerated degree program for elementary education. I have July and August off, which allows me lots of time to become your pets' new bestie! I can care for pets in your home. If you are in need of any other cleaning or home services when I visit or stay at your home, that can be arranged. I also believe in leaving things better than I found them. You won't even know I was there!
“Christopher took great care of my dog and sent lots of pictures. I had a water leak a couple days before I was leaving and was great about being there for maintenance to come while I was gone”
“Erin was AMAZING! We are so thankful to of found and worked with her. She took such good care of our pups. One senior and one adult dog plus a cat. She made them feel at peace while we were away and couldn't of asked for a better outcome. Will work with her again.”
“My experience with Melody was fantastic she went above and beyond, truly the best pet sitting experience I have had. This was a super last minute booking after my previous sitter cancelled and she responded immediately and was willing to take over and show up instantly. She was super communicative and made me feel very comfortable, even going as far as giving me updates when she was leaving the house for less than 30 minutes. Not only did she send plenty of adorable photos of my cats but she cleaned up as well leaving my house in better shape than I left it. I would recommend Melody in a heartbeat she is the best.”
“Aoife watched our anxiety ridden nervous mess of a mini dachshund and our home for five days while we had to go out of state. It was our first experience with her house sitting, so we were a little nervous, but the interview with her made me feel so comfortable that I had to book her. Aoife went above and beyond for our pup, and kept our house in meticulous shape. Biz is pretty particular, and also doesn't like to walk unless the whole family is there, so she actually carried him around the neighborhood and had him walk back home! He went on so many little adventures with her and she sent a ton of updates, making us feel that he was well taken care of. She even left stickers for my daughter! I can honestly say that this is the first time I feel Biz has ever been depressed about a dog sitter leaving and not being here the next day when he woke up to his own family! I would absolutely recommend Aoife for your animal companion and your home.”
About: I have grown up around dogs and have experience providing care for a wide range of needs, including puppies, senior dogs, dogs with disabilities, and those prone to seizures I have a flexible schedule and will be working part-time at a restaurant, which allows me plenty of availability to spend quality time with your pups. follow each dog’s established routine to ensure consistency and comfort, and I love spending time playing and engaging with them throughout the day. I also love a a good lounge day if thats what your pup needs.

Laurel was an outstanding house and pet sitter. She communicated exceptionally well throughout her stay and regularly sent photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was always responsive, professional, and easy to work with. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my Boston Terrier and home as if they were her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely hire her again in the future. Highly recommended!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Stayton on Rover is $50.49 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 723 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stayton. 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 Stayton 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 Stayton 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 Stayton 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 Stayton. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 90% 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.
