Timothy was awesome with my sweet boy Dozer! He did everything as instructed including medication administration and followed his special diet. We will be booking with Timothy again in the near future. He even sent photos!

Jacob did an amazing job with our two dogs and home. He came out and met them the night before on short notice. He was a lifesaver and we will be calling him again! Our dogs can be choosy and they hit it off with Jacob right away. Great Experience!

Fantastic dog sitter. She was very flexible and made things work on a last minute request. She’s great with the dogs including our old one on a brand new series of meds with weird dizzy spells. She was great. I will definitely use her again.

Abbie was wonderful! She sent consistent text updates with photos. She was communicative about any questions or concerns. And she clearly enjoyed spending time with Ollie rather than making him seem like an obligation. Highly recommend!

Erin was amazing with our two dogs! They both seemed happy and content when we arrived home from vacation. She was able to come over to meet them beforehand and confirm the booking despite our last minute change of plans. I would highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs!

About: I have experience with an array of animals. I have personally owned Dobermans, Shih Tzus, a husky, and French Bulldogs! Over the past 3 years I have begun fostering and helping a bit in rescuing kittens and a few litters of stray dogs! Taking care of and helping animals is a true passion of mine! I am currently enrolled in hybrid college. I spend another portion of my time on the farm taking care of things that need done! With my schedule being flexible I have availability to adjust when needed for animal care duties! We have a property of about 46 acres with an electric fence for the horses and a gate. The animals would be housed in the home. Outside activity would vary based off of the animals specific needs! Dogs would be outside at least 5x a day!

Schuyler was great with our girl 🐶 She was trustworthy and met every request. We had a worry-free vacation because we knew our fur baby was in good hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her back again.

About: Hi! I'm a college student and experienced pet sitter with a passion for caring for animals of all kinds. Before becoming a pet sitter, I worked in wildlife rehabilitation, where I gained hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals and learned how to recognize their individual needs and behaviors. I'm comfortable caring for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, small mammals, and other pets, and I'm happy to follow any special routines, medications, or care instructions to keep them happy and healthy. Whether you need someone to stop by for visits, stay overnight, or care for your home while you're away, you can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and respectful. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I'll treat them like they're my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered or scaly!) family members! As a student, I find that I have plenty of free time to visit your pets whenever needed! Athens is incredibly walkable (plus I drive) so getting around takes very little time at all and I can be there quick! Working in shelters and rehabilitation centers for various animals, I know that each pet needs an individual care experience. Some may need to be walked more frequently or less, some may not like to be around people, some may need medications at specific times, or some may need extra love. My goal is to make your pet and you comfortable with leaving them to me.

Perfect fit! After adopting a dog who has some reactivity, I was worried I wouldn’t find someone to watch her and the rest of our crew (4 cats, a rabbit, and chickens) when we went on vacation. Julie put me at ease from the moment I met her and assured me she and Sasha would become friends. She did a long visit before I left and was there when we left. She let Sasha come to her and they quickly became friends. I am so thankful we found Julie. I will 100% use her again and I recommend her to anyone looking for a good sitter.

About: I've taken an active part in raising and caring for many different breeds and species of animals since I was young, both for my personal household and others. I have handled, fed, bathed, and trimmed the nails of young puppies up to 8 weeks old and helped to bottle nurse and raise kittens. I have cats in my household that I regularly take care of and experience handling, loving, and taking care of older dogs as well. I currently have a job, but I am available for house-sitting at the moment. I also have some flexibility in my schedule when given enough notice. I am very vigilant and eager to care for and play with any fur-babies, so I can keep a constant eye on them inside and outside of the house. I will also stay near them while they are out to make sure that no harm comes to them.

FAQs for House Sitting - Stewart

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 66 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stewart. 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 Stewart 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 Stewart 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 Stewart 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
