About: Triple decade caring for dogs, cats, and homestead animals. Available locally for pop-ins to cuddle/feed, long dog walks or some major play time. On those long run-around days or your next out of town vacation...you're pets will be well taken care of! I need a weeks notice to schedule in dedicated play time with your pet. While I'm at your place, taking the dog for a walk or feeding...they are my #1 priority and I want to give them all my love and attention! I have experience with indoor, outdoor and homestead animals. Safety in their environment is important and making sure they know I'm their safe person when you are away.
“She was beyond great with our Mastiff McBarker for a week and stayed in our home. We didn’t have cell service where we were and she was very accommodating by making sure we had updates for when we did find WiFi to check in. Came home to a less stressed pup from having someone with him. Highly recommend her! 🐾”
“Amber was great with my dogs, especially with my senior blind and deaf dog. She was very attending to her special needs. It’s hard to find someone with the skills and patience to care and comfort her when Sundowners kicks in at night. Amber also left the house like you wouldn’t even know she was here. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate her care for my animals.”
“I had a great experience with this sitter. 🙂 She stopped over to meet my senior dog who can be timid around strangers before I left town and my dog took to her right away. She is reliable and communicates often with updates, photos, and videos. 🙂”

About: I’m the type of person who goes to a party and makes friends with the dog. My friends know I’m around when they see a blanket covering up their sleeping pup. My family has nicknamed me dog girl because I take on the challenge of caring for all of them during family functions. I have experience with dogs who need medication, eye drops, ear drops, or who have health issues. I work from home so I am able to hangout with your pet all day! I have a very flexible work schedule if appointments are needed. I prefer to care for dogs in my home but can watch in your home, let out during the day, and check on your home if away. At my home I leash all pets when letting them out. Dogs are allowed on my furniture, I even have a chair next to my work desk incase they want to lounge around on the job.

“Excellent dog sitter- our first time with our older (and slightly finicky dog Zeus). This sitter put us and our dog at ease- offering to come for a meet and great. Zeus even was eating well for her which has not happened with a first time pet sitter in the past. A great communicator. Will use again.”
“Abby was great with our Springer spaniel. She kept in touch with me regularly up to the time of the booking and made contact with me while we were out, which I was very appreciative of. We were visiting from out of town so we were pleased to have someone like Abby available to keep an eye on Zoe.”

“Halley and her husband took such good care of my boy! I’ve never left him with anyone else but my family before and Halley really put me at ease, sending pictures and updates. 🥰 My pup usually doesn’t eat if I’m not there, just after one day with her he was eating and felt comfortable.

“Rowan stayed with our blue heeler in our home for 6 days and was great with her. He was very patient and tolerant of her quirky habits. He took her for walks, car rides, played with her a lot and sent me many pictures. Rowan is very dependable and responds quickly to texts and asks questions if necessary. Thanks Rowan! Loved that you gave Terra your full attention while you were here.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Stephensville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Stephensville on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 337 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stephensville. 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 Stephensville 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 Stephensville 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 Stephensville 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 Stephensville. On Rover:
- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
