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.
“Katy spent over a week house sitting and caring for our dog, Wally. She did a wonderful job! Wally was in great spirits when we returned, and our house was spotless. Katy was easy to communicate with and sent daily photos of our dog, which we so appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“Rachel was very responsive in all communication and accommodating to all of my cat's needs and quirks! My cat is a scaredy cat and didn't come out much but Rachel still kept me updated on how everything was going. I'm really happy I found Rachel and will continue to use her services in the future!”
“Mars did a great job house and cat sitting for us. She is very reliable and her communication is excellent. She is quick to respond to texts and updated us every day. We will definitely be using her again! Highly recommend!”
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!
“Taylor was good! Our boys seemed happy and well cared for. I had booked a house sitting but she was not able to be there overnight for more than 1 of the 3 nights. I wish this had been communicated a little better. She did stay for more time during the day, but I was looking for the overnight time period.”
“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 have been pet and house sitting for friends and family since I was 16 years old. I love animals (sometimes more than people). I can take care of all different types of needs that your beloved pet might have. Long walks, baths, morning and night time routines, special diets, etc. I have even taken care of a dog with diabetes before. I do not have much experience with other animals but I am a quick learner. I would love to take care of any pet you may have. I am a full time student at Oklahoma State University and I have a part time job that I work as well. I wouldn’t be gone from my house or yours any longer than the hours that would consist in a normal work or school day. I’m not normally gone that long but that is the longest I would be gone in a day. I have a pretty open schedule for the most part because a few of my classes are online. I don’t have any pets at home anymore. Sadly my childhood dogs passed away this summer and while I am not ready to get my own dog yet I still love taking care of animals! I kept a lot of their old things so I have plenty of toys, dog beds, and blankets that your animal would be welcome to use. I also have a dog door and fenced backyard that is available for use as well. The dog door can be shut or left open depending on what works best for your animal.
“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!”
“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!”
“Kaylee is the best of the best. Knowledgeable, sweet, attentive, loads of common sense (which is anything but common), and truly cares for and understands animals. If you are lucky enough to book with her, your sweet babies will be better for it. THANK YOU, Kaylee. From the bottom of my heart, for caring for my Izzy (and me, quite frankly) the way you did. Warms my heart, I am so grateful.”
“Julia was great, very friendly and responsive, cared for my dog well in my home, and sent pictures and updates each day I was gone. I'd recommend her and would book her again if I still lived in the area. Thank you!”
“Emily was such an amazing pet sitter!! She sent lots of updates and photos and my pets looked so happy! I felt so relaxed on my trip knowing they were in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
About: I've had a dog for as long as I can remember. Love them. I have watched many of my friends dogs as well. One of my best friends fosters many dogs and they are great trainers and I have learned a lot from them as well with training. My schedule is flexible so as long as I have a schedule ahead of time I can plan on helping on the weekday or weekends. I am loyal and on time so you can trust me with your babies. I will give lots of hugs and kisses and can get them out to play as well.
About: Since a young age, I've taken care of many different kinds of dogs, big or small, puppies or elderly, and rescues. I've always had a genuine love for animals, especially dogs, and I can tell dogs feel my energy! I like to play and care for dogs, feeding them, throwing toys, running around, walking them, or just sitting with them. I can handle any type of dog, whether that be needy, high energy, timid rescue, or laid back dogs. I've never met a dog who hasn't warmed up to me fast. I have also worked with the Stillwater Animal Shelter a lot and have enjoyed walking and tending to dogs. I'm currently not working, so I'm practically free almost everyday. Even when I have a lot of stuff in my schedule, I'm still very flexible. I can feed them easily if they have a schedule or specific eating habits. I can make sure they go to the bathroom regularly and stay hydrated. I'll always make them feel safe and secure when I'm caring for them, and help them whenever I can. I pay attention to needs and am quick to act. Walking them is not a problem, and I can go pretty long distances or run to get in some exercise for them.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Stillwater is $35
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stillwater
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!
Katie was a life saver in a pinch! She responded to my contact message immediately and found a time to come meet the pups on short notice, an 8 year old German shepherd and a 4 month old border collie puppy. She was so so good to them over the weekend and they loved her! We will definitely be requesting her house sitting services again!
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.
When Josslyn first came over for a meet and greet with my dog, Bodie, he immediately loved her! We've never left Bodie with a sitter for so long before, but I felt confident leaving him in Josslyn's care. Her enthusiasm came through in her interactions with Bodie, and she listened thoughtfully when we went through his daily routine and instructions. Bodie can have big feelings about other dogs sometimes, so we took a practice walk with Josslyn to show her his skills. Josslyn quickly picked up on the small cues that help Bodie stay chill on walks, and that really helped me feel comfortable with her as a sitter! I'd certainly recommend Josslyn to other pet parents:)

FAQs for House Sitting - Stillwater
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Stillwater on Rover is $33.3 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 108 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.
