“Kimberly was very attentive and professional. She replied to messages almost immediately and provided updated information and photos about the pets. It definitely made me feel more at ease during my trip. I would definitely be booking her services in the future.”
“OMG! Carrie was amazing! She took the time to get to know my two dogs ahead of the sitting. She learned their routine and provided extra TLC to the pups. Carrie was flexible and timely. She also communicates any and all issues. For example, one of the pups had "nervous poop" and she let me know about it in case it turned bad and he had to go to the vet. She also spent time with the pups, reinforcing positive training behavior. I will definitely use Carrie's services in the near future and would highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs. Big Thanks to Carrie for taking such great care of the pups.”
About: There is no better feeling than the relief you have knowing your pets are safe and well taken care of while away. I also know the feeling of missing them while gone. I’m here to help with that and send you pet updates along the way! With a lifelong love for animals, I’ve dedicated my time and career to caring for them in every way possible. I have some hands-on experience as a veterinary technician, giving me valuable skills in animal health and behavior. I’ve grown up with pets of all kinds from dogs and cats to reptiles and small mammals—and have been their primary caregiver throughout my life. My husband and I today have 5 cats, a black lab, a few reptiles, and are new to the chicken game! Currently, I’m pursuing a degree in zoology, which deepens my understanding of animal biology, welfare, and behavior. Whether it’s giving medication, understanding subtle signs of stress, or simply providing loving companionship, I bring knowledge, compassion, and reliability to every pet I care for. I do prefer a meet and greet first, so I can get to know your pet(s) and get a better understanding of their daily routine while you are away. I understand last minute plans may come up and will do my best to accommodate these, if I can. More fun facts about me! - I love turtles so much that those in my close circle still call me by my childhood nickname “TG” aka “Turtle Girl.” - I can’t leave the house unless I’ve said bye to each of our pets. - My husband says I’m a Disney princess because animals always find me. As a part-time worker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care for pets in the early mornings and evenings. This is perfect for feeding, walks, playtime, medication, or just some quality companionship at the times pets need it most. While I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I follow each pet’s routine closely including feeding schedules, medication, exercise, and playtime to keep them comfortable and happy. In client homes, I respect the space and maintain a clean, calm atmosphere so pets feel secure in their familiar surroundings.

“Whitney took amazing care of our two dogs while we were out of town! She treated them like they were her own and gave us so much peace of mind, especially with leaving our puppy for the first time! Will absolutely be rebooking Whitney for future stays!”
“Molly was so wonderful with our 3 dogs. She takes beautiful pictures of them for you, and sends thorough and often updates. We would highly recommend her and will absolutely book with her in the future!”
“Our second time having Sarah house sit out pets. She did amazing! One of our dogs got sick while we were away and she was so patient and handled all the messes. Cannot say enough good things about Sarah and the care she provides are dogs and cats. It gives me such peace of mind while I’m on vacation.”
“Destiny was fantastic! We had a meet and greet before her initial stay with our pups and we liked her immediately. She was completely comfortable around our dogs and they were comfortable with her too. Destiny is reliable, and completely trustworthy. She communicated with us daily and administered our dog Max’s meds accordingly. We were very pleased with her care for our dogs as well as our home and didn’t worry at all while we were away. We will definitely be booking Destiny again soon!”
About: I provide reliable, loving pet care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and anxious pets, and I always prioritize safety, routine, and plenty of attention while keeping owners updated with photos and messages. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and one-on-one attention. I keep a flexible schedule to make sure pets stay comfortable, cared for, and on their normal routine. On weekends, I typically enjoy taking long walks, which is perfect for active dogs who love extra exercise and outdoor time. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they’re in my home or their own. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions from the owner. I provide a clean, calm environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision to help pets feel relaxed and at home.
“Cedrick was great! He truly helped us out when we were in a bind and communicated well, keeping us informed of his plans. He also sent a ton of pictures which helped us feel comfortable while away. We will definitely book him again.”
“Alivia was great with our two dogs and cat. Our cat became sick during the time Alivia was here and she acted quickly to help her get to feeling better. Alivia would send frequent updates as well and is a very good communicator. I could not have asked for anyone better!”
“Courtney was phenomenal! She took care of my dogs just like I would. She sent daily updates with pics and videos! I appreciate how kind she was to my sassy old dogs. lol”
“We love Hailey and would recommend her to watch your dogs! This is our second time using her (first time was to watch our foster pup). This time she took care of our two fur balls while we went on vacation. She provided daily updates so we knew they were having a great time with her! Hailey following the detailed instructions we left, which we very much appreciated. Our dogs seemed to have loved her as well as they got daily fetch sessions, lots of pets, and a neighborhood walk during her stay. We hope you choose to book with Hailey! We will definitely use her again to care for our babies!”

About: As a proud four-legged mom, I take pet care very seriously and treat every dog like my own. I’m available every day as a stay-at-home mom, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I have two sweet, well-trained dogs of my own, Jadore and Jiovanni, who are the friendliest pups you’ll ever meet. I even have special days where I cook dog-friendly meals—because making pets feel loved and cared for is so important to me. When I look after your pets, they’ll be treated like family with lots of love, attention, and care. Pet care fits into my daily routine very naturally because it’s something I’m already doing every single day. As a stay-at-home mom and dog mom, I structure my day around making sure my two dogs, Jadore and Jiovanni, are happy, healthy, and cared for. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, training, and lots of love and attention. Because I’m home full-time, I have the flexibility to schedule drop-in visits and walks throughout the day without it ever feeling rushed. Caring for pets is more than just a task for me—it’s a part of my lifestyle. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on walks to get their energy out, making sure they’re fed on time, or just sitting with them for comfort and companionship. Every pet I look after gets the same care and attention I give my own, so it fits seamlessly into my weekly routine. To me, it’s not an “extra” responsibility—it’s something I love to do and look forward to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. I know how important consistency is, so I make sure they’re fed at their usual times, get fresh water, and have plenty of time for play, walks, and bathroom breaks. I love giving them attention, whether that’s cuddle time, playing with toys, or just sitting nearby so they feel comfortable and not alone. I also take care to follow any special instructions you provide—whether it’s medications, feeding preferences, or certain routines that make your pet feel more secure. I pay attention to their behavior and body language to make sure they’re happy and stress-free while you’re away. For me, caring for pets isn’t just about the basics—it’s about making sure they feel loved and safe until you’re back home.
“This was our first time using Brooke a she will be our #1 choice for future petsitting needs. She was an exceptional cat and dog sitter! Brooke was attentive, a great communicator (sending pictures and updates daily), and made sure everything went smoothly. We felt at ease knowing our fur babies were in such good hands while we were gone. She went above and beyond, and it truly showed. I would highly recommend Brooke to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 439 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stedman. 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 Stedman 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 Stedman 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 Stedman 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.
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.
