“Rachel is awesome! She put up with my problem furchildren so I could enjoy a weekend with my human children. As a very successful rover sitter myself, I hope this review holds extra weight because Rachel deserves it! I look forward to using her services again and even referring some of my clients to her when I can't help them. Hire Rachel, she's a good one!”
“Makayla was absolutely amazing! We truly don’t have enough words to express how grateful we are for the care she gave our home and our fur babies. We were incredibly nervous about having someone stay in our home and care for our pets because we had only ever trusted family to watch them. From the very beginning, Makayla put us completely at ease. Before we even booked, she came over to meet us and our fur babies, and they immediately loved her! Even our very shy kitten came right up to her, which told us everything we needed to know. Makayla stayed in our home for two weeks and was absolutely wonderful. She sent us daily updates, photos, and little glimpses of how everyone was doing, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. When we came home, the house was immaculate, and our fur babies were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well loved. It was obvious that Makayla treated our home and pets as if they were her own. We would recommend Makayla without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, caring, and wonderful with animals. She exceeded our expectations in every way, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. We will definitely be asking her to watch our fur babies again!”
“Rachael was awesome and took awesome care of our 1 year old English Cream Golden Retriever!! He is a handful with all of his energy!! We received many pics and texts letting us know how he was doing which we really appreciated. We will absolutely use her again and again and again!!!”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats of all ages since I was 9 years old. I had my own dog that I loved for 18 years and have dog/ cat sat for family and friends throughout that time as well. This included walks, baths, treats, and all the love and care I could give when they needed it most. I'm currently in-between jobs so I am available throughout the week and weekends. I am available to do overnight visits either at the client's home or my own or just home visits any time throughout the day. I always pay the upmost attention to any animal's needs and provide them with whatever type of care they need. If I'm at a client's home, I respect their home by making sure everything stays clean and organized just the way they want it. An animal's safety and trust is my number one priority when it comes to taking care of them because I want them to feel as loved and comfortable as possible when their families are away.
About: i have taken care of dogs since i was young and have volunteered at a shelter for a couple years now , now i have 3 cats that i love to play with! i am attending uw stevens point and work part time on the weekends. i don’t really have a consistent weekly schedule but i am available most nights! i have a energetic golden retriever pup at home that i have experience wrangling, so i can easily crate and get along with your pup if needed!
“Karina took excellent care of our 2 dogs while we were away for a few days. She provided updates and photos daily of our doggos having fun. Both dogs are mixed aussie shephards and are anxious around new people, especially when its on their turf. Karina was not detured and they became quick best buds. Our minds were at ease the whole trip while they were in her care. We highly recommend Karina for anyone looking for dog sitters.”
About: I have raised my own pup since she was 8 weeks old. My heart and passion explode as I allow all of my energy to go towards loving and treating your pup with the care and respect they deserve. Young puppies to senior dogs, I will match the energy they desire. If you have a sick pup, I will be there to care for them and administer any meds they may need. Please reach out with any questions. I look forward to working with you and you pup, soon! I am available at almost any time you need. Just ask and I can make it work! Looking forward to playing with your pup and creating that special bond. I am happy to go visit your own home to ensure your pup stays happy and comfortable in their own environment. Fenced yards are a plus!
“Amber helped make our little family getaway so much more stress free than our past ones have been. She sent me updates (along with cute pictures of my pooch) which I appreciated so much! Will definitely not hesitate to ask her to pet sit again in the future. Thank you Amber!”
About: I am responsible, kind and would be extremely protective of your fur-babies while I am with them. It is no problem for me to clean up messes, litter boxes or help with some medications. Play, exercise, feed or cuddle…your furbabies will be well taken care of. I bring with me lots of love and have been trained for many, many years with martial arts of various kinds, including MMA, and a previous competitive deadlifter- so your pet is safe with me for walks and the like. I can drop-in, walk, or just pet-sit! Thank you! Please call on me when needed, and I look forward to meeting you and your fur-babies! I cannot be around cigarette, vape or marijuana smoke, so I am not available for homes where this has been, but, could still take your dog for a walk if I am only outside. I offer in your home pet services-(cat or dog- birds, and reptiles, too!) or dog walking. I can also come and clean your yard for a visit fee. :)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stevens Point
Julia was amazing! She took such great care of our dogs, and it was obvious they enjoyed all the love, attention, and playtime they got with her. She was very responsive to messages and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. She also took wonderful care of our home and watered our plants. We would absolutely recommend Julia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Claudia did a wonderful job with our dogs. We don’t leave them for an extended period of time very often, so we were quite nervous. Claudia put us at ease right away and kept us updated and sent pics to us. The house was just as we left it. We are very appreciative of the great care she gave our 4 legged family members. I highly recommend her for your next pet sitting.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Stevens Point is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $72 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 114 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stevens Point. 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 Stevens Point 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 Stevens Point 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 Stevens Point 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Stevens Point. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
