“Katie was a wonderful house/dog sitter for our two dogs. They were well cared for and loved while we were away. That was very evident when we came home to two happy and relaxed dogs. It was very clear that Katie spent a great deal of time with them. Such a plus! We really appreciated the updates/photos, and she was so kind to answer all my questions. This was the first time we used Rover. We were very apprehensive and had some trepidation prior to leaving. However, Katie far exceeded my expectations. We’s absolutely have Katie (if she would agree) watch our dogs again. Thank you, Katie! 🐶”
About: Hi! I'm Rachel and I'd love to care for your pet! Willing to accept outside of my service range (rate changes may apply). 10% off if you live in the Huntington or White Hills area of Shelton. I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember - basically, if it has fur, fins, wings, or whiskers, I'm a fan. I've proudly been a cat mom since 2010 and my 3 current babies are my whole world (and let's be real, my personality too). Since 2023, I've been volunteering with cats and small animals at a local shelter (affectionately known there as "Cat Rachel"), working with cats of all different temperaments -from shy wallflowers, snuggly lovebugs, fur divas, and the “don’t-look-at-me” types. I've also been pet-sitting on and off since 2010 including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, bunnies, and tropical fish. If your trust your pet with me, I will: - treat them like they're part of my own fur-family - be patient while they warm up to me (I let them set the vibe) - follow your instructions and respect your home - give them dedicated quality time in the way they enjoy (whether that be play-time, cuddling, walks, quiet companionship, etc. - send regular updates and photos Basically, if your pet needs love, snacks, or someone to treat them like the tiny celebrity they are, I’ve got it covered. For full transparency I am a full-time working professional. I work in the Ridgefield area 4 days a week with Fridays as my work-from-home day. I'm really mindful about my schedule and only take on visits I can give my full attention to. While cats are definitely my specialty these days, I’m always happy to consider other animals too! Mondays through Thursdays: AM & PM visits before and after work, sometimes can do a lunchtime visit if in Ridgefield. Fridays: AM & PM visit, sometimes can do a lunchtime visit if in Shelton, overnight stays. Saturdays and Sundays: Flexible, 3 visits a day, and overnight stays. Safety is my #1 priority - ensuring your pets feel secure and comfortable. My goal is to provide a stress-free, trustworthy experience which is why I only accept bookings I can confidently handle based on each pet's needs and my experience. During my visits: - I respect your space and follow all care instructions and house rules. - I ensure doors, windows, and gates are secure. Doors are opened with extreme caution. - I ensure they have access to everything they need and their water dishes are full. - For cats, even if they sometimes goes outside, they must be and remain inside for the entirety of my visit. I will ensure their litter boxes are cleaned. - For dogs, there will be double checks of leashes, collars, and/or harnesses.
“Samantha was so easy going, reliable, kind, great vibes all around! Calvin loved her and immediately settled into a happy calm vibe. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again!! Thanks so much, Samantha!!”
“Ian was the absolute best! He stayed at our house with our 2 dogs for 5 days. I received regular updates and pictures of them- which was so appreciated and needed being so far away from them. I’d have Ian back in a heartbeat!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care, patience, and genuine love I bring to every pet I work with. I don’t just “watch” animals—I build trust with them and treat them like my own. My experience as a caregiver has really shaped how attentive and compassionate I am, especially when it comes to understanding different needs and personalities. I also have fostering experience, which has taught me how to work with pets who may be anxious, shy, or adjusting to new environments. Because of that, I’m very comfortable helping animals feel safe and supported. I have experience caring for both puppies and senior pets. With puppies, I can help reinforce basic training, routines, and positive behaviors. With senior pets, I’m extra gentle, patient, and attentive to things like mobility, medications, and comfort. Overall, I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and someone you can truly trust with your pet. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I am unavailable mondays and Wednesdays but available all day on Saturday and Sunday. I can work after 4:30pm on Tuesday Thursday and Friday :) Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or stopping by for visits, I do everything I can to make the experience feel calm, consistent, and stress-free. In your home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and playtime. I make sure doors are secure, hazards are avoided, and your pet is always supervised and safe. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident while you’re away. I’m very attentive to behavior and body language, which helps me quickly notice if something feels off. My background as a caregiver has made me especially detail-oriented, patient, and calm in any situation. Cleanliness is also very important to me—I keep feeding areas, litter boxes, and living spaces clean and comfortable at all times. Overall, I aim to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels relaxed and cared for, and where you can have complete peace of mind.
“Alex was great! He made my dog Lady feel very comfortable right from the start. He was very attentive to her. I received constant updates on Lady and pictures. I will absolutely be using Alex again sometime soon.”
“Sonya took care of Rosie while we we out of town. She never hesitated to reach out to me with questions regarding Rosie’s care. She was an excellent communicator. After we got home, Sonya came to get her things. Rosie’s reaction to her said it all. She acted towards Sonya like she does to us when we come in the door. ? Very Pleased! I wouldn’t Hesitate to call Sonya again!”
“Josh was a fantastic sitter, and we had a great experience with him. He house sat for us and took excellent care of our cat. What really stood out was how quickly he bonded with our cat who is typically very shy to meet new people. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly very comfortable around animals. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and a house that was just as we left it. Overall, Josh did a wonderful job, and we would definitely hire him again in the future!”
“Megan was fabulous! We needed a dog sitter last minute to stay over the weekend and she responded right away. She came over for a visit to meet our dog and walked through everything; our dog immediately loved her. She arrived on time and treated our pup and home with care and respect. We are so grateful! Highly recommend.”
“Dahn is so good with our golden/lab mix! She spends so much quality time with him. She's extremely attentive to his needs and genuinely cares about him. I always feel so comfortable when I go away knowing that Levon is such good hands!”
“Camila was the ABSOLUTE BEST with our Mipha. She watched our sweet kitten for over 2 weeks while we were out of town and took wonderful care of her. She was very communicative and sent several pictures and videos each day. On top of that, Mipha LOVED her and was watching her out of the window as she left, waiting for her to return. We will definitely book with Camila again.”
“Emma was absolutely wonderful. She stayed at our house with our furry boy Eddie for two weeks and did a fantastic job caring for Eddie and our home. We couldn’t be happier with her and will definitely use her services in the future!”
“Erin and her sister Caitlin did an Amazing job taking care of my two sweet dogs over a crazy busy holiday weekend. On a night with both fireworks and thunderstorms, I worried about leaving the pups, but Caitlin kept them calm and happy and comforted for several hours. The dogs loved her and so did my family. I'd hire this pet sitting team again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend.”
“Claudia was great! I can tell Sissy was very comfortable and content with Claudia at her house. She was all set up to welcome her into her home and her calm energy is just what my anxious little dog needed.”
“I’m so grateful to have found Kat to sit for my dog Kona! I could tell Kona was at ease immediately when Kat arrived to house sit during my week long vacation. From the updates I know Kona got plenty of long walks and attention - she looked so happy in all the pictures! Kat really went the extra mile, taking care of the little every day things like mail and even feeding my backyard chickens. I felt very at ease having Kat watch over my home and dog, and would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking the peace of mind that comes with a great dog sitter for their next trip.”
“Taylor took such great care of our fur baby, Atlas and our home! Great communication and photos and videos. Atlas was waiting at the door for when she was going to return again.”
About: -I have had animals all my life -I’ve cat/dog sat before and it was great! -I love the outdoors so we will definitely take advantage of nice weather -I worked at a pre school for 3 years so I have the patience/experience for different diets and schedules! I work as a waitress part time, but I am free any other time/day! Taking the time out of my day is no problem when I get to take care of your babies! -I cannot care for animals in my home - when I care for pets in the clients home I always leave it clean! -If I am caring for a cat, the litter will always be scooped and off the floor, and I will clean up whatever a dog tracks in after a walk or playtime!

Parker was absolutelya pleasure to work with! They are very professional, communicative, and clearly care very deeply for animals. Parker went above and beyond caring for Meelo and we returned to a relaxed pup and our home exactly as we left it. I would absolutely book them again in the future. Thank you, Parker!
Samantha was wonderful with our two dogs. One of our dogs is very anxious and Samantha respected that and didn't try to pat her or interact with her. She just waited through the anxiety until Wanda was comfortable. She communicated with me and sent pictures, which was much appreciated! I will definitely book Samantha again.
For our three nights out of town, we were reluctant to have someone only stopping by each day to see our dog and two cats, but hadn’t had someone stay over in our home before either. After we first met Fiona we knew our two cats and dog would be fine. Fiona was communicative and sent pics every day and was able to give our dog his eye drops. The animals were very happy when we got home. Thanks Fiona! Will definitely rebook!

FAQs for House Sitting - Stevenson
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Stevenson on Rover is $68.25 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 2,093 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stevenson. 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 Stevenson 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 Stevenson 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 Stevenson 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.
