“Trina did amazing!! She kept us updated with any concerns and/or questions she had along with sending us pictures, which we appreciated! It was super late when we got home, so didn’t get to see her but Max was sound asleep, which makes us know that he was very comfortable! We will definitely be reaching out to Trina again!! We know Max likes to bark, so hopefully if she’s available, she’ll watch him again!! 😀”
“Great sitter for our two spoiled dogs! We were on an international trip and Zoe was very flexible and able to do overnights which eased our minds with a 14 week old puppy. Will use again!”
“Sharon was great with our harley she helped out with walking her and getting her use to going out at night again. Sharon kept us informed of everything that was going on with harley and how she was doing and sent us pics. We will definitely use her again.”
“Selena took care of our pup on short notice and did a great job! She made us feel super comfortable by meeting us/our dog a few times before we left for our trip. She sent photos every day and our usually shy pup warmed up pretty quickly!”
“Wanda and Steve are FABULOUS! I have 5 dogs and they all love them. Great communication. Take great care of my home too. Watered plants and I have a ton. So nice to come home to happy dogs, a clean house and plants alive and well in 90+degree temperatures. I couldn't be more pleased.”
“Machalah did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs (one who is a senior) & cat while we were out of town. She regularly sent picture updates; my fur babies obviously received lots of TLC. Machalah also left the house very neat. Will definitely use Machalah’s services again.”
“I can’t recommend Valerie enough! She watched my dog, for 3 days and did an amazing job. Hope can be a little particular with her routine and has some hip issues, but Valerie was so caring and attentive — she followed all my instructions perfectly and made sure Hope was comfortable, happy, and well-loved the whole time. Valerie kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Hope felt safe and cared for, and I really appreciate how responsible and thoughtful Valerie was with every detail, from playtime to feeding to making sure Hope didn’t overdo it on the stairs. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Valerie again — she’s trustworthy, kind, and truly treats your pet like her own. Thank you so much, Valerie, for taking such wonderful care of Hope!”
“Gussie took care of our dogs on such short notice, which was a relief after our other sitter cancelled due to a family emergency. Gussie communicated and sent photos daily, which I appreciated. One of our dogs is 17 and she met his senior needs. Our other dog usually takes a while to warm up to people, but it did not take her long to warm up to Gussie.”
“Alyssa was amazing with Teddy! She took great care of him and our house while we were gone. This was one of our first times leaving our pup alone with someone for an extended period of time and I could not be more happy we chose Alyssa! She sent us updates and pictures, gave Teddy lots of love and just overall provided us with a sense of comfort and security while we were gone. I would recommend Alyssa to anyone that asked and we will be hiring her again in the future! Thanks Alyssa for taking such good care of Teddy!!”
“Taylor was great! My cat, Stanley, really seemed to connect with her and was his normal, happy self when I got home from a week-long vacation. Normally, he gets depressed and won’t eat while I’m gone but that wasn’t the case this time, it’s obvious Taylor gave him the TLC he needed while I was away since he is such a social and playful cat. I received daily updates and photos while I was away, and Taylor also left my apartment in great condition. I’ve already re-booked Taylor for another stay for an upcoming trip out of town and am so grateful to have found a sitter that my cat genuinely seems to enjoy! Definitely recommend!”
About: I'm an active volunteer with a local animal shelter, where I work hands-on with dogs of many ages, sizes, temperaments, I have experience caring for shy, anxious, high-energy, and sensitive dogs, and I'm comfortable with reading canine body language, building trust, and providing calm, reliable care tailored to each dog's needs. Pet care is part of my regular routine through weekend availability when I'm off work. I plan my schedule around providing attentive, consistent care, including walks, feeding, enrichment and companionship, so each dog receives focused, unhurried attention. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and preferred activities. I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious pets, by moving at their pace and reading their body language. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and calm, attentive interaction, whether that means exercise and playtime or quiet companionship. In a client's home, I respect their space and ensure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.
About: Hi! My name is Marissa and I am an animal lover, pet mom, and full-time teacher. I am looking for some additional income and would love to help take care of your fur baby while you are away on vacation or at work. While I do not have a lot of experience pet sitting, I have had pets my entire life and am currently a pet mom to my cat, Malachi. I am always the one that my friends/family go to if they need a pet sitter or help with their pets. I have a flexible schedule and would have plenty of time to spend time with and get to know your wonderful pet. I can't wait to hear from you and get to know your special fur baby/babies! I am currently a full time teacher, meaning I am able to care for your animal early mornings and I am off early afternoon so your pet will not have to wait until evening for care! I also have most common break/vacation times (thanksgiving, Christmas, summer, long weekends) off and have a more flexible schedule during those times. I will care for your pet as if it were my own! I make sure your pet is fed and taken care of, but I would also love to spend time with your pet so they are not lonely while you are away.
“Lexi was great! She stayed at my house with my pups and gave them all kinds of snuggles and love and sent me pictures and messages as updates. She left the house as she found it. I’d definitely recommend Lexi to take care of your pets!”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing with our dog Dixie. It was the first time boarding her since we adopted her. She texted us pictures everyday giving us peace of mind. I would highly recover to anyone.”
About: Hi! My name is Nidia 🙂I’m a dependable, caring cat lover who works remotely, so I’m able to give cats plenty of attention, companionship, and consistent care throughout the day. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or independent, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Regular updates, gentle care, and extra love always come free! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and creating a calm, caring environment for them. Since I work remotely, I have the flexibility to provide consistent attention, playtime, feeding schedules, and companionship throughout the day. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and it’s rewarding to help pet parents feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re away. When caring for dogs in their owner’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention based on your dog’s needs and personality. I also make sure your home stays clean and respected while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or needs extra patience, I provide calm, dependable care to help them feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment.

FAQs for House Sitting - Stewartsville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 427 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stewartsville. 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 Stewartsville 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 Stewartsville 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 Stewartsville 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 Stewartsville. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
