About: I’ve cared for animals most of my life, including my own dogs, bunny, and fish, as well as others’ cats and dogs. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable supporting pets of all ages, from playful puppies to more sensitive seniors. I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. As a full-time school psychology graduate student at OSU, I intentionally and consistently incorporate pet care into my weekly routine. My class and assistantship schedule gives me predictable blocks of time throughout the day, which allows me to provide regular check‑ins, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I balance my academic work with pet care by planning, maintaining a structured routine, and ensuring every pet receives focused attention and a calm, reliable presence. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every home I care for. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep their space clean, and make sure they always have fresh water, a tidy litter box, and a comfortable place to relax. I pay attention to body language, comfort levels, and any changes in behavior so pets feel understood and secure. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, I create a peaceful, predictable environment where pets can feel safe, cared for, and genuinely at ease.
“I highly recommend Mars! She deserves a five-star evaluation! Mars is a very kind, friendly and sincere person! My puppy doesn't even want to go home after being taken care of by her for two days 😃 I'm very grateful to her for helping me take care of the Zaizai and taking cute photos!”
“Very responsive and great with my dogs. Both of my girls are very skittish and she won them over quick! She kept my home neat, made sure the girls were taken care of, and sent me amazing photos🫶🏽10/10”
“Rachel is the sweetest girl and was so comforting to all my concerns i had leaving my puppy for the first time. i was worried for no reason because our girl absolutely loved her!! Rachel even brought her new toys when she was getting bored! She really listens to detail of how you want things done and ahe sends updates pics and videos so it feels like they are almost there with you. She even cleaned before we got back! I could not recommend her enough we will be using her anytime we have to leave again in the future!”
“Kaylee is amazing! She truly treats dogs like her own. My pups felt so loved and cared for, and I got the sweetest updates while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Vanessa does amazing with my high energy, anxious husky! He’s a lot to handle but she makes it look easy. She house sat for a week and when I came home he was the least anxious I’ve ever seen. Vanessa is dependable, kind and a hard worker. Highly recommend!”
“Gleris was amazing as our in home pet sitter for our two dogs! She sent daily photos and kept in touch with us during the entire time we were gone. Both of our dogs were well cared for while we were gone. Gleris is very trust worthy, and we felt very comfortable leaving our dogs in her care for 5 nights.”
About: I’m a vet tech, I work with all types of animals, I can do toe nail trims, give baths, and give medications. I start vet school in the fall and am looking for extra cash I work at a vet clinic until end of July before vet school. I can do walks/house/pet sitting working around that schedule for now. For fall I would not be able to be house/pet sitting all day, but I can do before and after classes. Whatever the client needs is what I’ll do. Whether it is medications, baths, toe nail trims. Whatever routine your pet is used to, I will do in place of your absence!
About: I have cared for many different animals over the years. This list includes cats, reptiles, fish, small dogs, medium dogs, large dogs, and xl dogs. These animals have been my own as well as friend’s, family’s, and neighbor’s, as they knew I would tend to them with the utmost care. My specialties include working with deaf, blind, anxious and senior animals. My philosophy for caring for any animal is to respect their boundaries and help them feel the most comfort possible. I am currently working at a part time work from home job, meaning I have a very flexible schedule and can come morning to evening to care for you pets. I am available to overnight care any day of the week as well. In my clients home: Check ins would include tending to anything outlined by the pet owner, and being sure to give the animal as much pets and playing as they would like. Overnight care would be the same as far as tending to the outlined instructions. Since it is overnight, if there is a certain nighttime routine it would be accomplished. Before I left I would also make sure I have picked up and cleaned up behind myself (ie. fluffing pillow cushions, throwing away trash, washing dishes, etc) In my home Care would be the same as listed above. I do not have a fenced in yard, however, there is plenty of walking space for them to enjoy being outside. I do have a yard if they just need to potty but not go on a long walk.
About: I’ve been taking care of all types of animals ranging from hedgehogs to special needs dogs. Never have I found a challenge that I couldn’t overcome I’m a college student with only a couple of classes every day, none of which would interfere with caring for an animal I have been put in charge of I know from personal experiences that keeping your pet in their own environment Is always better than dragging them out somewhere new, whether I’m staying the night, or just popping in a couple times during the day we’ll be best friends by the end of day 1
About: I have taken care of many different kinds of animals and owned many different different animals throughout my life. I absolutely love all animals can be very energetic or laid back depending on your pet. My number one priority is providing exquisite care! I’m currently a student at OSU in marketing. I currently work in an office part time and have free time every afternoon. In my free time I like to go on walks, to the gym, cook, or read. What I do when caring for your pets depends on what you would like, but generally I do walks, stop ins to let animals go potty and check water, feed, play, clean up after, or anything else you might need done for your lovely pets!
“She’s both perfect. She’s so sweet. She works so hard sending updates. I don’t know if there’s a word to explain how wonderful she is and she’s going places and I’m so proud of her and so is God.”
About: I grew up showing great danes in 4h. I have over 10 years working with a certified animal behaviorist and am certified as a trainer through him. I'm working part time over the summer as I'm home from college and would love to make this my full time deal! I work at farmer's markets Saturday and Sunday but am fully available Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Weekend afternoons are also open for fury fun! I take animal health and wellbeing seriously. If you have specific requirements for your friend, I am more than happy to oblige. Getting every animal the care it needs is my #1.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Stillwater is $34
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stillwater
We couldn't have asked for a better house and pet sitter! All of our pets are seniors, and each one has medications or special care needs. Leaving them is never easy, but she gave us complete peace of mind. She followed every instruction we left, from medications and feeding schedules to taking care of our home and even setting the alarms exactly as requested. What stood out the most was how much she genuinely cared for our animals. She didn't just meet their needs—she loved on them and treated them like they were her own. Coming home to happy, well-cared-for pets meant the world to us. We are incredibly grateful for the care and attention she gave both our home and our furry family members. We will absolutely be using her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate!
Anna Claire took excellent care of our dog while we traveled. She stayed at our house overnights to make sure our dog was comfortable and less anxious. Our dog has a severe protein allergy so Anna Claire had to be careful about that. Having a vet student made us very comfortable knowing she could handle the situation if our dog had any issues. Anna Claire was easy and quick to communicate with. Highly recommend Anna Claire.
Vanessa has now stayed with our poms, Nox and Luna, three times. We continue to book with Vanessa because she is responsible and trustworthy, punctual, and communicates well. We know the pups are in capable hands. This time, Vanessa also had to coordinate with a second sitter to switch off midway through our absence. All of that was handled without an issue. We would definitely book with Vanessa again!
I’m I am incredibly thankful that Linda was able to watch our furry baby! She was available last minute as our plans changed unexpectedly. She was caring, proactive, and asked great questions to make sure she knew how to care first our furry baby. We did in-home sitting so Linda was excellent in maintaining our baby’s routine. Baby Angel got lots of love and belly rubs. Thank you, Linda!
Gleris was amazing as our in home pet sitter for our two dogs! She sent daily photos and kept in touch with us during the entire time we were gone. Both of our dogs were well cared for while we were gone. Gleris is very trust worthy, and we felt very comfortable leaving our dogs in her care for 5 nights.
Abbey was the most amazing dog sitter! She took care of our new 2 pound Pomeranian… and our 100 pound German Shepherd while we went to a concert. We had only had the puppy for three days and I was a nervous wreck! Abbey arrived early and sent tons of updates and pictures. She is great with large dogs and noticed our German Shepherd was getting annoyed with the puppy- and put him in another room for a bit! I’m so thankful for her intuition and caring nature! If you need help with your furry friends… I would recommend her a million percent! Stop researching other Rover resumes and go with Abbey! Your babies will be in the best hands ever!
I'm always nervous about leaving my pup, Bodie, with a new sitter, especially for an extended period of time. Kaylee's positive attitude, expertise, and evident care for the well being of my dog made me feel comfortable leaving for 10 days. My dog sometimes has big feelings, and often needs emotional support or guidance from his human. Kaylee took the time to visit with us twice before staying over spring break, to ensure that she knew all about how to handle Bodie's needs and preferences. Kaylee sent very detailed and honest updates, with pictures that showed Bodie having such a good time! As soon as I got those first pictures of Bodie playing and snuggling, my mind was at ease that he was having a great time with Kaylee. I would definitely recommend Kaylee to my friends and their pups:)
Sierra was amazing while watching Okie! She responded promptly, carefully followed Okie’s transition to adult food while keeping an eye on her symptoms, and took her on plenty of walks. She was very respectful of our home and communicated multiple times a day, sending lots of photos, which we really appreciated. She even offered to take Okie to her grooming appointment when it got rescheduled while we were away, which meant so much to us. It truly felt like she cared for Okie as if she were her own. She saved us from having to fly with our 10-month-old puppy, we couldn’t be more grateful!
Great experience. Adelaide stayed in our home and cared for our three beagles while we were out of town for a week. Beagles were happy and healthy when we returned and our home was just the way we left it. Any time we reached out she responded in a timely manner. Would absolutely re-book!
Mars is so nice. She is very open to discuss options on taking care of my dog and arranging to drop and picking up the dog. She post pictures and videos every other day. She takes Winnie to dog park who has a lot of fun. She keeps a good communications with me all the time. We have to change the pick up date due to a delay of flight. She did not complain at all and willing to accomodate our travel. I am so thankful to her. Recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Stillwater on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 110 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.
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.
