“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Roxi! She took such incredible care of our furbabies and our flock while we were out of town. Knowing they were in her hands gave us such peace of mind. Roxi cared for our animals and our home as if they were her very own. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy, safe, loved, and well cared for. It’s such a special feeling to find someone you can completely trust with the things that mean the most to you. Roxi is truly a wonderful soul, and we feel so lucky to have found her. We came home to happy babies and a well-cared-for home, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We will absolutely be using Roxi again for our next out-of-town trip and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. ❤️🐾🐔”

I am currently enrolled in school to become a licensed tech as well. Please be aware that I may not be able to do drop ins several times a day. I work 10 hour days- 4 days a week. I can house sit. I am also able to drop in for things such as nail trims for your calm cats and dogs if you’d like. I’m currently working full time 4 days a week. I get of work at 6 pm.

I am able to perform any tasks you would like me to since I have experience handling various pets with various needs.

About: I absolutely love animals and caring for all sorts. I grew up with Dogs and cats my whole life so I am experienced with caring for them. I believe all animals deserve to be properly cared for and played with. I have a soft spot in my heart for them. I am currently unemployed looking for side jobs, so I am available 24/7.

About: Dogs have been a consistent and meaningful part of my life for years, and caring for animals is something I approach with intention, structure, and deep respect for their individual needs. I began walking neighborhood dogs in high school, cared for my own dog, Lady, for 15 years, and began fostering in 2024 in her honor. Since then, I have fostered 8 dogs, including multiple litters of puppies and adult dogs with a wide range of behavioral, emotional, and medical needs. My experience includes bottle feeding, potty training, basic training, senior care, medical recovery, and working with shy, anxious, reactive, and high-energy dogs. This has given me a strong ability to read behavior, adjust my approach, and create a calm, structured environment that supports each dog’s wellbeing. I currently have cats in my home, and any boarding or in-home care is thoughtfully considered in advance to ensure safe and appropriate compatibility. I prioritize slow introductions, supervision, and clear routines so animals feel secure and stress is minimized. I live an active lifestyle, and dogs in my care receive consistent walks, enrichment, and attention. I am comfortable with crate training, medications, and caring for multiple pets when appropriate, always prioritizing safety, structure, and stability. My approach is simple: thoughtful care, clear communication, and a calm environment where animals feel safe, understood, and well supported. Pet care is intentionally built into my daily routine, and I approach each booking with structure and consistency so pets feel secure and settled. I organize my day around feeding schedules, walks, enrichment, and check-ins, creating a predictable rhythm that supports each animal’s comfort and behavior. I am typically present throughout the day, with occasional short absences for workouts or errands, and I plan my schedule in advance to ensure I can fully meet the needs of each pet I take on. I only accept bookings when I am confident I can provide attentive, reliable care and maintain a calm environment. I provide calm, structured, and highly attentive care rooted in extensive hands-on experience with fosters, reactive dogs, puppies, seniors, and medically complex animals. I currently have cats in my home, so any in-home care is thoughtfully evaluated in advance to ensure safe, appropriate, and stress-free compatibility. I prioritize slow introductions, supervised interactions, and consistent routines to create stability and reduce uncertainty for every animal in my care. I am comfortable with crate training, medications, and supporting a wide range of behavioral needs, and I take care to ensure each pet’s environment is calm, predictable, and well-managed. When caring in a client’s home, I follow established routines closely to maintain continuity and reduce stress, treating each home with respect and professionalism. I accept bookings when I can fully support the needs of the pet and provide the level of care I would expect for my own.
“Ashley was perfect. Her communication was great. She consistently sent updates on Bishop with pictures and videos. She was extremely thorough. Ashley treated my home and pet with care and respect. I came home to a happy dog. Could not recommend her enough.”

“Quinn did a wonderful job watching our pups this weekend! She took care of everything they needed especially considering they’re seniors, giving them fun walks at their own pace and sending lots of updates and pics 🐶 📸. We’re looking forward to booking Quinn again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since my university days, and being a dog mom myself has made that love even stronger! Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to look after their furry companions, from walks and feeding to playtime, baths, and plenty of cuddles. I understand that every pup has their own little personality, preferences, and routine. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy making dogs feel loved, comfortable, and safe. I know how much peace of mind matters when you’re trusting someone with a member of your family. I’ll treat your fur baby with the same love and care I give my own, with lots of affection and little updates along the way! 🐶💕 My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to give your fur baby plenty of love, attention, and quality time! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, playtime, and overnight stays. I enjoy keeping a relaxed routine and making sure every pup gets the attention they deserve. 💕 Your fur baby’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! 🐾💕 I live in a cozy, pet-friendly apartment community with a lovely, fenced dog park where pups can run, play, and enjoy some fresh air. The park also has convenient water access to keep everyone hydrated during playtime! I share my home with my sweet girl, Achalugo, who’s friendly and enjoys having company. I understand that every pup has their own personality, so I’ll always make sure they’re comfortable and properly introduced before playtime. Whether your baby loves exploring outdoors or prefers lounging inside with plenty of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. I’m also happy to follow your preferred feeding schedules, routines, and house rules. And of course, you can expect plenty of pictures and updates while your little one is in my care!

About: As the owner of a 5-year-old Australian Kelpie, I'm experienced with large, high-energy breeds and know how much structure and exercise matter. I keep your dog's routine consistent — feeding, walks, and rest — and send photo updates throughout. Every dog gets personal attention, not a crowded schedule. One tip: if you do have experience with puppy training, senior dogs, or giving medications, add a line about it — those specifics are what win bookings. Want me to work any of that in? Pet care is a natural part of my routine, and I make time every day to provide pets with the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I provide loving, reliable care by following each pet's routine, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship, and keeping pet parents updated every step of the way.
About: I have lifelong experience caring for a wide variety of animals. With cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I'm comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra gentleness and patience. Beyond cats and dogs, I have experience with small animals including ferrets, rabbits, and rodents. I understand that each species has unique needs — ferrets need supervised playtime and mental stimulation, rabbits require a calm environment and proper diet, and rodents need safe handling and clean, comfortable spaces. I'm experienced in medicating animals of all kinds, including oral medications, drops, and topical treatments — even with pets that can be resistant. Please note that I'm not able to accommodate aggressive large or extra large dogs, as safety is my top priority for all animals in my care. No matter the species, I approach every animal with patience, love, and respect. Your pet is in caring, knowledgeable hands. Pet care is not just something I do — it’s a natural part of who I am. I currently care for multiple pets of my own daily, so feeding schedules, medication routines, playtime, and check-ins are already built into my day from morning to night. My routine starts early with morning feedings and care, midday check-ins, and evening wind-downs — so visiting or hosting your pet fits seamlessly into what I already do every single day. I’m home frequently, which means pets in my care are never left alone for long periods. On a weekly basis I stay on top of clean environments, health monitoring, and making sure every animal is happy and thriving. Pet care is my passion and my lifestyle — not just a side task. I care for pets in my own clean, cozy, and pet-friendly home where they receive 24/7 love, supervision, and attention. I provide a safe, calm space and follow their routines closely. I send frequent updates so you always feel connected and confident.
About: I've cared for different breeds for 10 years, including my own huskies. I'm comfortable with medication, senior pets, puppies, anxious animals, and I follow each owner's routine for feeding, walks, and meds exactly. I send photo updates every day, and I check the home and yard for hazards when I arrive. Pets get patience and attention, not just a quick visit. Pet care fits easily into my schedule. I'm flexible on days, evenings, weekends, and holidays, and I can usually accommodate last-minute requests. I'm home most of the day and able to schedule visits around my day, so I can offer midday check-ins, longer visits, or overnight stays. Tell me what your pet's routine looks like, and I'll build my schedule around it. Safety comes first. When I arrive, I check the home and yard for hazards like open gates, loose cords, toxic plants, and anything a pet could swallow. I follow your feeding, medication, and walk instructions exactly, keep pets on a leash outside unless you tell me otherwise, and make sure doors and gates are secured when I leave. I send photo updates during every visit, and if anything seems off, I contact you right away and follow your vet's instructions. I'm happy to do a meet-and-greet first so your pet and I can get comfortable, and so you can show me where everything is.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Stilson is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $37 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,029 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stilson. 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 Stilson 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 Stilson 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 Stilson 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Stilson. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
