Zarah is absolutely amazing! From the moment we met, I could tell they truly cared about animals and would take excellent care of my dog. We had a great experience with Zarah and were truly able to enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was in good hands. Great communication and very dependable!

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! 🐶

My dogs, especially the standoffish one, of my 3, loved Ian upon meeting him. He is very patient and gentle. He is so considerate and attentive. I cant praise him enough! We are actually stuck where we traveled to, and were able to book him last minute for a few more days. We will be tipping him accordingly upon our retun thanks to his last minute flexibility. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

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.

Pauline is so phenomenal with my dogs. She sent me multiple photos and videos, which I absolutely love. She is patient and caring with them. She is also very responsive and attentive to detail. This is my second time using her for dog sitting and I hope to be able to use her again for dog sitting needs.

Our first time with Zach and hopefully not our last. He was punctual, reliable and so attentive to our older dog who needs some extra care and patience. Zach sent lots of updates and photos throughout his stay. He followed Kona’s schedule to a T and even came back for an extra walk last minute the next day.

This was my first time booking a cat sitter through Rover - Jen is phenomenal! She is so kind, and was consistent, reliable, thorough, and thoughtful in taking care of my two cats and home. She went the extra mile by showing care about understanding the cats’ routine, bonding with them, sending updates, and keeping things clean in my absence. It was so nice to trust that the cats were being well cared for while I was away at a research conference, and Jen was perfect with communication/updates. I will definitely be a repeat client of hers!

I needed a house and dogsitter for a week with very short notice due to a death in the family. Matt came over within 14 hours of me reaching out. He stayed at my house and took care of my two dogs for 8 days. He left the house exactly as I did. He sent me multiple photos and updates each day and was good to my dogs. Appreciate it.

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.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who can’t imagine life without dogs. My family has two dogs that I grew up with, and they’ve been such a huge part of my life. Over the past 8 years, I’ve cared for cats and dogs, both large and small breeds, giving me experience with a wide variety of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I truly believe dogs are one of the best things on earth. Their love, cuteness and personalities make every day better. While I can’t have a dog of my own right now due to where I live, caring for other people’s dogs gives me the opportunity to share that love and spend time doing something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a caring companion around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry baby and treat them like one of my own! 🐾❤️ I have a very flexible schedule everyday. I have weekend, mornings, midday and nights available, so anytime you need I’ll be available. Week long pet sitting is also available. I have experience with large and small dogs both needing a crate and not. I love going on long walks, so if your baby needs a long engaging walk I am your person! I have experience with feeding wet and dry food, as well as giving liquid and pill medication!

Simply put….Exceptional! I cannot give Kathryn enough praise. Our pets are our family and she took that to heart. She kept us updated the minute she walked in the door with pictures and texts. She rarely left their side and any concerns she had she contacted us ASAP! I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation and my pets loved her as much as we did!

About: I have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs. I’ve cared for my own pets as well as family members’ and neighbors’ dogs, including handling different temperaments. I’m currently off for the summer, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need. In the fall, I may still have limited availability on certain days depending on my schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll treat your home with care, keeping everything clean, tidy, and organized. I won’t bring anyone over — just me and your pet, focused on keeping them happy and stress-free.

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!

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!

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 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 2,030 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Stevenson. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.
