“Katie took our dog on long walks and hikes on new trails, provided photos and updates daily and was very flexible when we had a change of plans. Can’t wait to ask her to sit again!”
“Lauryn was awesome! She took great care of our home and two big dogs. She was very responsive and sent us pictures and updates. This was our first time leaving our dogs alone with someone other than family and friends, and Lauryn made us feel so comfortable with the whole process. If you are looking for a dog sitter, we would highly recommend Lauryn!”
“I felt completely comfortable using Rachael as a first time Dogsitter for my fur babies. She was responsive, responsible, and gave me the perfect amount of updates during her stay. If she had any questions, she asked them which I appreciate! I would 100% recommend her, she’s definitely conscientious and trustworthy. Thanks, Rachael!”
About: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for years, caring for everyone from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m comfortable giving medications, cuddling with cats, walking with dogs, keeping pets company, and following routines that make them feel at home. And I keep it fun because pets are funny, and I genuinely love hanging out with them. I am here for your pets! I work remotely as a writer so can keep them company, play, exercise, couch chill, give meds, send you way too many photos!! Up early. Happy to follow your preferences in your home. Every pet is different and I will make sure they get the TLC, meals & more that they need.
“Marley did a fantastic job with both my dogs! She is very attentive to the specific details per dog, per personality, habits and all! They had a nice time with Marley, she had a calming effect on both of them! I highly recommend Marley for both dog and cat sitting!”
About: Big dogs and little dogs are all happy dogs. I enjoy taking care of and spending time with animals. I have had experience since my childhood I will be more active in my life physically walking them and taking care of them. It’s a perfect job cute animals and taking care of them for money. It’s perfect. I will take the best care of your pet at your home. Just let me know if they need something or have a certain routine and I got it!
“Sonya was great! This was the first time using her to watch our 1 large dog and 4 cats. She stopped by to meet Rocky a week before we were heading out of town. Our somewhat skittish dog loved her. When she stayed at our house she sent pics and responded quickly to any texts we sent. We’ll definitely use her again!”
About: I will always go above and beyond to make any and all of my pups happy and comfortable. They will always be my top priority. Pet care fits into my schedule part- time perfectly. I can work with you as needed for a vacation. I am flexible. Weekends are widely open. I do not have a fenced in yard. I trained my dog to be an off leash pup. I will use leash at owner requests.
About: I’ve been walking dogs since I was a kid, and have cared for several senior dogs while their families were away in recent years. I’ve also house-sat for kitty families and multi-pet homes. Whether your pet has special requests or just needs some company, I’m excited to meet them! I’m a Park Ranger who works seasonally and I am currently in the off-season until March. Thus, I have a very open, flexible schedule for all your pet care needs. My approach is very thoughtful and considerate of your space and what you prefer your pet be allowed to do. Before entering anyone’s home, I like to check in with the home owner to ensure I’m aware of all rules and preferences so I can provide the excellent service you’re looking for while respecting your boundaries as well.

“Theo was fabulous! Libby our energetic yellow lab loved him! He took Libby on hikes and walks! Our cat Skye enjoyed Theo too! Our home was nice and clean when we returned! Both animals content and happy! Theo went above and beyond! Theo is truly excellent and we would highly recommend him! 5 stars!”
About: I love playing outside and going for walks. I’ve taken care of family and friends dogs for years and will spoil your doggie with attention. As a pet parent who has used Rover in the past, I know what works and what doesn’t (like 11pm drop ins) and I will take the best care of your pet. I work full time from home and so I have the availability to stop by throughout the weekdays to take care of your pet! I also have free weeknights and weekends. I live close to the Farmington canal and can take your dogs for walks as needed! I will always follow your comfort level and will care for your fur babies as you wish.
“Leonne was absolutely amazing with our dog, Meelo, for an overnight sit. She was extremely professional, communicative and clearly has a deep love for animals. My dog is large and high energy and she seemed confortable and confident. I came back to a very happy pup and a home exactly as I left it. I would not hesitate to reach out to Leonne again for a future sit!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stevenson
Kathryn was great! She looked after our two dogs and one cat. We live in a condo townhouse so the dogs need to be taken out often to go potty. They’re old and also need medicine. Kathryn was awesome. She took care of them and their needs so well. Highly recommended!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Stevenson is $60 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $79 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.

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 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
