“Bill was so wonderful with our pups! Great communication, very thorough, and ponctual. We felt completely comfortable knowing our dogs were with Bill while we were gone.”

“Allore did a great job watching my pets while I was out of town. She sent lots of pictures and was very communicative. I could tell my pets were comfortable and when I got home everything was in order. Will definitely be booking with her again”

About: I have 27 years experience caring for dogs, among many other animals of all breeds, sizes, needs, and ages. Animals will receive the same care that I would expect for mine and be treated as members of the family. They will be well attended to, and receive love and care from not just myself, but all members of the family. They are permitted on the furniture, in bed with us and to be where we are at anytime. There are beds and blankets in every room for their comfort. I am home full time so there is nearly always someone here with the pups and they are cared for and loved by all members of the family. Dogs can be fed up to 4x/day. There are cats in the household (they usually confine themselves to their basement palace,) children ages 2-9 all whom are extremely good with animals. We are a happy, hopping home, but able to provide quiet time and space for dogs who are easily overwhelmed. Your dogs will be well entertained with cuddles, plenty of time outside, games, love and toys galore. Dogs are not generally taken on walks around the neighborhood, unless requested, but do receive plenty of indoor and outdoor playtime with us (fetch, frisbee, etc) for physical and mental stimulation. If we do plan on going for a nice walk or a hike, the pups will accompany us. Single overnight booking includes 24 hours of care (e.g. 1p Sat-1p Sun, or any combo of 24 hours) with a total of 3 hours of leeway given. If you will be expecting the stay to be more than 24 hours (27 with leeway) please note in your message or book as one overnight and one day care (e.g. 10am Sat-7p Sun.) Walks and more are available as add on services. Add on service rates and info is sent upon booking or by request prior to booking, as Rover, unfortunately, does not have a spot for us to offer these and book it with the stay. All pet parents receive text and photo updates, unless not desired. We take safety very seriously: -All dogs are fed separately -Water is always available indoors and out. -House is kept dog proof from dangerous items the dogs could chew or eat. -Someone is always outside with the guest dog. -Exposure and indoor climate are limited, or adjusted, based on the dog's tolerance. -I am well educated in pet first aid and am also a human nurse -I have many years of dog training experience, including my own service dog. -In the extremely unlikely event that a dog would escape, all guest pups wear a bright orange collar stating that they are a guest in an unfamiliar area and our phone number, along with their normal collar and tags. -For the escape artist, again, in the very unlikely event they would become separated from us, they wear a very efficient gps tag to allow for a very rapid recovery. Escape artists are also attached to a 100 foot long lead while in the yard just as a safety precaution (our yard is well fenced but a very crafty dog could possibly find a way out). Your dog is our priority and his love and care is our passion. Please ask if you have any other questions. We work from home and someone is here 90% of the time. We can tailor our schedule to your specifications or as your pet needs. I have a large fenced in yard (currently the main fencing is damaged and shorter fencing of 3.5 feet in height is filling in the gaps. We can put your dog on a long lead to be able to roam a bit or take outside on leash only if the short fencing will not be adequate to contain your dog.) Someone is always outside with your dog to ensure their safety. We have gates and cat doors to separate animals if the need should arise or during feeding time for your dog and ours.) Our black lab is extremely submissive and playful and will keep your dogs entertained as long as they want to play. She will leave them alone if they do not. Our youngest child, though very good with animals, is never left alone with the guest dog(s).
About: As a dedicated pet care lover, I believe that every pet deserves love, attention, and quality care. I have a life long passion for animals. It's simple. My job is to offer pet parents peace of mind and top notch service. I tailor every experience to meet the unique needs of your furry companions. A playful walk, a cozy overnight stay, or simply extra TLC while your away. I'll treat your pet like family. Your pets happiness and well-being are my priority. I'm currently working from home. Unless I'm on vacation, I am available weekdays and most weekends. Let's make sure your pets receive the love and attention they deserve. I will be sure to pet proof my home. Provide cozy beds in private areas where your pet can relax. Reward good behavior. Every pet has a unique personality I will give them patience and give them time to adjust and feel safe. I can provide toys that stimulate their senses and prevent boredom. Keep pet areas clean to prevent health issues.
“Luiza house and dog sat for us for the weekend and did a wonderful job. She took good care of both - We plan to use her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a per and/or house sitter . John and Stacy Ritter”

“Jaylynn was wonderful, she watched our dog at our house for 8 days and everything went great. My dog gets anxious being alone and I was nervous leaving her however Jaylynn was great with her. She sent me updates and pictures throughout my trip and Phobee warmed up to her quickly. I would highly recommend and I even plan to reach out again! Thank you Jaylynn!!!!”

“Cristel is amazing! This was my first time using Rover and Cristel took great care of my two boxers. She sent photos and updates all day and you could see my dogs were happy even though I wasn’t home. Highly recommend Cristel!”


“Erinn did a great job caring for our two big dogs at our house and keeping us updated and connected while we were traveling. We will definitely seek her help when we need it in future.”
“Erica was fantastic sitting for my cat Lily while I was on vacation. It was a last minute request due to a family illness, and it couldn’t have worked out better. Erica provided multiple daily updates/photos, and I I could tell Lily was very comfortable. I will absolutely use Erica again!”

“Maurie was great with our dog Finn for a week. She gave many updates and stuck to his routine, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. I would definitely recommend Maurie for your needs and will book again in the future!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of every breed, size, and energy level—from anxious rescues to giant goofballs. As a current volunteer at ACCT Philly, I work hands-on with all types of dogs daily, focusing on leash control, confidence-building, and reading body language. Friends and neighbors regularly trust me for overnight stays, multi-dog households, and high-energy pups because I stay calm, structured, and patient no matter what. I’m comfortable with puppy routines, senior care, and special diets, and I always make sure every dog gets the perfect mix of play, structure, and comfort. Whether it’s a jog around the block, a slow senior stroll, or bedtime snuggles—I tailor my care to your dog’s needs, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Pet care easily fits into my weekly routine. My schedule is flexible for walks, drop-ins, or overnights, and I make sure every pet gets consistent attention, playtime, and care. Whether it’s early mornings, lunch breaks, or evening cuddles, I’ll build my day around your pet’s routine. Safety and comfort always come first. In my home or yours, I make sure pets have a calm, clean, and secure space to relax and play. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, medications, and boundaries—so they feel right at home. I keep a close eye on body language and behavior to ensure they’re happy and stress-free, and I always send photo updates so you can see how well they’re doing. Whether it’s cats curling up for quiet time or dogs burning off energy, I create a safe, loving environment built on trust.

About: With a large, fully fenced yard and a work-from-home schedule, I’m able to provide constant supervision, plenty of playtime, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I have years of experience on Rover sitting hundreds of different kinds of dogs. Embracing all different breeds and personalities that they have to offer. I will make sure your dog feels at home with on time meals, a comfortable schedule, and free roam of my home they might not want to leave.
“This was our 1st experience with Rover and Jonathan was great! He was friendly, respectful and very flexible with our requests for the care of our dog. Communication was provided throughout the day to keep us updated—and any questions were answered promptly. Will definitely use again!”

About: I can help you with housesitter at day or overnight and give the 100% attention to your pet. If you will be on vacation and you give me the facilities at your place (nothing fancy) I guaranteed that your pet will be on vacation too!! This will be my other part time job during the week, right now I am busy with a weekend job. However I know taking care of your beloved pet is a full time responsibility, and I will make sure they get fully taken care of when I'm with them or walking them. I spoiled them if I'm allow to. I enjoy to have them on couch and bed and play all time, go out to park, take them outside. Give lot of kisses and hugs. But of course I respect your rules and I will keep the your pets routine too. And about trust, I consider myself as the most honest and trustful person that you could know. I worked on houses (sitter/laundry attendant) and hotels (receptionist/night auditor) and I never grab something that is not mine.

About: Welcome! We’re a dedicated duo with over 45 combined years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My background includes hands-on professional care at a Brooklyn dog facility. Steven raised & train dogs his entire life and is a natural when it comes to understanding dog behavior at every stage of life—from neonates to sweet seniors! Together with our 5 friendly small pups, we provide a warm, safe, home-away-from-home environment where every guest is treated like family. Whether your pup is an energetic puppy, a delicate toy breed, an active large dog, or a sweet senior needing medical care, we treat them like our own with tons of love, treats, and TLC!

The more we know about your pup, the more personalized we can make their stay. We love giving dogs a fun, refreshing, home-away-from-home stay filled with fresh air and affection. ▶️Spacious & Secure Home: A non-smoking household with plenty of indoor space, plus a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor enjoyment. ▶️Comforts of Home: Dogs are allowed on the couch and bed (per your preference), with potty breaks provided every 0–2 hours. ▶️Outdoor Adventures & Fun: We are a 10-minute drive from a variety of trails and dog parks. ▶️Mealtime & Grooming Extras: We accommodate human-grade food meals and custom feeding plans.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 877 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
