About: I use to walk dogs for a part time job when I was younger. Have always had one or more dogs in my house hold. Also use to work at a pet store that was very into teaching about dogs health and fitness. I currently work part time but I make my own schedule. I am flexible with hours and days. I’m available morning afternoon and evenings as well. I am great with keeping your pet safe from others on walks. I know dogs take time to warm up to some people and have the patience to work with them to make them feel safe and trust me.

I highly recommend Paige. Upon our return our home smelt normal and Sasha’s litter was clean. Paige was able to administer meds to her which was no easy feat. We will keep booking her if she is available.

Gavin took great care of our dog, Luna, and my brother’s dog, Ike, over the holiday weekend. He was reliable, communicative, and kept us updated with photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups and would gladly book with Gavin again. Highly recommend! 🐾

About: Dogs have always held such a special place in my heart. I had my own dog for 9 wonderful years before sadly losing her, and I’ve also spent years caring for my brother’s dogs. I’m especially comfortable with larger breeds and have lots of experience with American Akitas, so big dogs don’t scare me! I love getting to know each dog’s personality, whether they’re energetic, goofy, shy, or the ultimate cuddle bug. I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of love, attention, playtime, and belly rubs while you’re away. I work Monday–Friday until 3 PM, but I’m available afterward and have open weekends. I’m happy to plan around your pet’s routine and my upcoming fall classes. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I want both the pet and their home to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention. I’ll always respect their space and belongings, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure pets are supervised and safe. I’ll also keep the home clean and tidy and communicate with the owner so they feel comfortable and updated while they’re away.

About: Hi! My name is Allie and I've spent most of my life loving and caring for pets in multiple different environments over the years. I grew up with a bushel of miniature schnauzers, a few rodents and a snake. In college I took in a feral barn kitten and made her the talk of the university! After college, I spent 5-6 years working in a dog daycare facility which gave me experience with all different breeds and an immense amount of knowledge on behavior. After doggy daycare I moved on to working in a veterinary hospital which was an incredible resource and opportunity for me to increase me knowledge on medications as well as other medical knowledge. I would love to have the opportunity to spoil your pet as well as give you a safe space to leave your furry friend! Over the summer I am out of work and home with my pups and kids. In late August I will be headed back to work at a school nearby but working relatively short hours. We love to go on walks, to the dog park, the human park or just lounge in the back yard. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a large back yard. It is not fenced in but I do have a long line. I have a 12 year old pup who is a calm, unbothered queen and a year old pup who loves everyone and everything. In addition, I have 2 kiddos that are incredibly respectful of other pets space and will love your pets as much as their own however they can be crated if needed 😉

About: I've always been an animal lover, and have been taking care of neighbors' pets as well as one of my own since I was 9 years old. At 22, I have handled dogs of all sizes and ages, including 3 different breeds at the same time. I'm not afraid of a messy or quirky pet, and I enjoy discovering each animals personality and preferences. They're here for such a short time I thrive on making every moment joyful for them! I currently work as a dance teacher on weeknights which means I am available everyday until around 5pm to spend time with your pet! I typically only work for 3-4 hours a night so when boarding I still have ample time to care for your pet in the evening into the night. I live in a very walkable neighborhood with expansive yard space and a home with plenty of room for toys and beds and crates. When with your pet, I'll be attentive to their needs and be sure to observe for signs of contentment. I am an intuitive person comfortable handling skittish or reactive pets.

I had a wonderful experience with Kiana! She took excellent care of my cats and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear they genuinely cared about my pets and paid attention to their individual needs. I came home to happy, relaxed cats and everything was clean and in great shape. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my furry family!

About: I have lived with cats since I was 14 years old and have looked after cats and dogs independently since I was 16. I am comfortable with administering medications from my time working at Grand Avenue Veterinary Clinic. I typically work a week day that leaves me away from the house from the hours of 7am to 7pm. Please consider this when determining if I would be a good option for caring for your furry family! As I will be in your and your pets home, making sure everyone is comfortable with me in the space! My goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible while you are away. If you have any specific concerns about going on walks or interacting with other humans and pets please let me know so I can abide by what works best for your family. I have been trained on how to pill animals who are nervous about medication to ensure that your pet recieves their medication and remains safe and supported in the process. If you should ask me to take care of your home I make sure to grab the mail daily and follow the motto of leave it better than you found it! I want to have you to come home to a clean house.

About: I had a few dogs growing up (a cairn terrior and a yellow lab) and have been dog sitting for the last 6 years off and on from anywhere from a few hours up to 3 months. I work from home Mondays and Thursdays and have a typical 8-430 schedule. My significant other, Jake, has a flexible schedule as well for drop off/pick up times. While working from home I am available to take doggos on walks/runs and play! For days that I am in the office, I am able to run home on lunch for potty breaks if the doggo needs! I have a house with a large yard. While it is not fenced in, there is plenty of room to run and play on our 30 ft cable. I have a 12 year old son who loves to play with and love on doggies. I live near a lake and a park with a swimming beach if your doggo likes swimming! (I am more than happy to gives baths as well) I will also take lots of photos and have open communication so that owners can know their furbabies are having fun and in good hands!

About: My lifelong passion for animals began on our family’s organic dairy farm in Menomonie, Wisconsin, where I learned the dedication required to care for animals of all sizes. Over the years, we have opened our hearts and home to our friends' pets, gaining extensive hands-on experience with everything from energetic dogs to gentle bunnies. As a homeschool family, someone is almost always home to provide continuous love, attention, and structured care. We spend plenty of time outside so your pet will have lots of opportunities to exercise and spend time in the sun. Your pet will enjoy full access to our house and a large, securely fenced yard perfect for safe outdoor exploration. Located in a peaceful, dog-friendly neighborhood, we offer a warm, reliable, and attentive home-away-from-home where your pet will be treated like family.

Joel provided an amazing drop-in service for us twice daily for 6 days for our 4 senior Dachshunds. He communicated with us each time he stopped by and sent pictures of the pups eating, getting some outdoor play time and settling down for naps until his next visit. They truly bonded with him because he gave them the kind of attention they crave—food, belly rubs and back scratches. One of the pups is blind and he helped her up and down the steps to walk in the grass. We could enjoy our trip knowing our pups were getting great care and attention while their needs were being met. Very satisfied with the job Joel did for us!!

About: I will walk your dog or pop in and feed/visit/let out while giving it lots of attention, sometimes with the help (fully supervised!) of my two kids (age 11 and 8)! I work from home most days and would love taking the dog for walks. My two kids love dogs and want to help when they can! Happy to go for any length walk your dog is used to. Also happy to stop in and let the dog out during the day.

About: Do you need a trustworthy and reliable person to look after your beloved pet? Each pet has their own personality - and I adapt to what your pet needs. I am conscientious, animal-lover, non-smoking and trustworthy. I take great pride in walking, feeding and providing endless affection for your pet while you're away. I have a fenced in back yard for plenty of room for your pet to run and play. I am flexible in times and days and can correlate with your schedule. I currently have 3 cats in our home - and they all tend to be curious about the newcomer, but there has never been an issue. They tend to watch curiously - and then go about their own business. :) I look forward to hearing from you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Stillwater on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 4,798 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Stillwater. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Stillwater stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Stillwater 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!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Stillwater with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

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

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.
