“Julie was phenomenal! She communicated and sent me adorable photos of our boys while we were away. Super low stress and I felt very comfortable leaving my pets in her care. I will absolutely be booking Julie again. She’s our new go to pet sitter. Highly recommend.”
“Leann was wonderful! She took great care of our 4 dogs for a week. This was our first time using Rover and it went perfectly. All our dogs were well taken care of, as well as, our home. Couldn’t be happier, would absolutely recommend Leann!”
“Maya was totally wonderful with our 2 dogs and cat. She stayed at our house, left it in great shape, and loved on the animals. Our dogs have some unique needs - one needs to avoid greeting other dogs, and the other had some meds to take this particular trip - and Maya handled it all like a champ. We're lucky to have her as a reliable walker and housesitter!”
“Kaitlin did a great job! My pup is happy and healthy -and the house is in perfect order. She was able to navigate everything successfully with minimal instructions. I’m very happy!”
“Lisa was great and the pets were so happy! She sent tons of pictures and updates and I knew they were being well cared for which meant I could relax and enjoy my trip. Would definitely recommend Lisa and will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve always connected with animals, dogs in particular have truly been the best friends of my life. Their love, curiosity, and genuine spirit is a magnet to me. I am patient and kind, and have good intentions, dogs pick up on that and trust me quickly. I work full time as a handyman, and have a passion for the outdoors, and animals. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to help others with their pet care needs. I’m happy to come to your home and help with any pet care needs. I currently rent, so unfortunately I’m not able to have animals at my home.
About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats in many different ways. I have owned dogs my entire life, plus a few cats. I volunteer at the Humane Society in Kansas City while at school where I work directly with the shelter dogs. I have house sat for multiple family friends and am ready to take on new pups and cats! I am currently home from school for the summer so am looking to fill the time. I work part time as a server a few times a week. During the day I often just workout, read a book, or hang with my own dogs. I have fostered a dog before and can adjust well to your dogs needs. I’ve practiced crate training, furniture restrictions, and other small training tasks. My house has an open yard which my dogs are free to run around in when they are not on leash to go potty.
“Carolynn was prompt and communicated well with us. We have an older Beagle who tends to have some separation anxiety when I leave town. He had no issues when Carolynn stayed with him in our home. We loved the pics that she sent while we were away and we felt at ease because we knew that he was well taken care of while we were gone. This was the first time we left him with someone other than family. We look forward to having Carolynn take care of Cozmo again!”
“Kristin stayed with our pups for three nights! She was very accommodating of their schedules and they seemed to be happy! She sent pictures daily and kept us updated on how they were doing. We would recommend Kristin to others!”
“Thank you Natasha for giving our fur baby such wonderful care! Astrids schedule was maintained with lots of love, cuddling, treats (as scheduled) and fun. We love Natasha. She is the best! Natasha sent updates and pictures daily which helped us stay connected with Astrids activities. Natasha even took care of keeping the home front maintained. She is the only sitter for Astrid!!!!”
About: My name is Kaitlyn & our family has a laid back 65lb pup named Lily(7) and a friendly high energy pup named Tater. We would love to welcome your dog to stay with us while your away! I foster dogs while they are looking for fur-ever homes so we are no stranger to other pups spending time here and showing them patience and love while they get acclimated. I have experience fostering nine 6 week old puppies, 3 year old dogs, Caring for elderly dogs with additional needs, reactive dogs, and everything in between. Our dogs eat raw food and I am very familiar with nutrition, supplementing, and holistic health so I am prepared to either help your dog stick to their raw diet, any other diet you've chosen for them, or giving medications/supplements as needed. We have a 5 foot fully fenced yard on a 1.5 acre lot so you can be assured they are getting plenty of exercise while your away as well! I only work 2 days in the office and we like to spend a lot of our free time outside. We love hiking + have hiked throughout MN, SD, CO, UT, FL, and lots of places in between. We have lots of trails left to cover, and would love your pup to join us! I currently work 2 days a week, and my husband has flexible hours. We balance our schedules to ensure your dogs needs are met. If they are not barkers, they are also welcome to come with me to my office! We have a 5 foot fully fenced yard - we always supervise time in the yard, and every gate is locked with a padlock that only my husband & I have the code for. We also have a dog room and kennel run so if your dog wants extra unsupervised time outside, they are welcome to use the doggy door to access the 10x10 dog run. We kennel our dogs overnight while we can't keep an eye on them. We have plenty so no need to bring your own :)
“It was our first time using Denise and Brenna and they were fantastic! It was great to get timely communication and pictures. If we ever have another need, we will definitely use them again.”
“Jamie and Brooke were absolutely incredible and the best house / pet sitters we have ever had!! They even went above and beyond and did the laundry for our towels!! They were perfect in every way! This was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous to say the least. But Jamie and Brooke eased our concerns immediately. And after difficulty with our flights and a family emergency, they stepped up and provided last-minute house / pet sitting for our pups, Frankie and Diego. Frankie and Diego absolutely loved Jamie and Brooke! They were so sweet and brought them pup-cups from Starbucks, and filled their kongs with peanut butter (their favorite). They gave us updates every time they were coming to and leaving the house, and let us know when they would be returning. We received daily pictures and videos that absolutely brightened our day. Jamie and Brooke are wonderful in every way, and I truly cannot recommend them enough to take care of your loved fur babies. Thank you again Jamie and Brooke! Frankie and Diego look forward for seeing you next time!!”
“Shawnda house sat for our two dogs and left our puppies happy and home spotless. She was an incredible care taker. 10/10 would recommend to anyone searching for someone to stay with their fur babies.”
“Christine is a great caregiver! My dog & cats were given excellent care. She stayed a week and kept in touch so I knew how they were all doing. I came home to very happy, relaxed pets because Christine was so good to them. She fed, walked, administered medication and even cleaned up after them.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Stillwater is $50

Julie was phenomenal! She communicated and sent me adorable photos of our boys while we were away. Super low stress and I felt very comfortable leaving my pets in her care. I will absolutely be booking Julie again. She’s our new go to pet sitter. Highly recommend.
Check is does an awesome job! She has dog sat our two dogs twice. They absolutely love her and were so excited to see her when she came back a second time. She followed all our instructions carefully and was a delight to work with. Thank you Chris, from Stormy and Croix
We had a wonderful 10 trip to Canada and we didn't worry about our two dogs because Olivia was there to care for them. She sent us pictures and a cute video of our furbabies. We felt even more comfortable when we learned that Olivia is in college, studying to be a trainer of service dogs - that has to be someone who LOVES dogs. We have no travel plans at the moment, but we'll be sure to contact Olivia if and when we do.

FAQs for House Sitting - Stillwater
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Stillwater on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,040 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stillwater. 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 Stillwater 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 Stillwater 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 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!
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.

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.
