“Jason helped us out by taking our last-minute request, was friendly to work with, kept us regularly updated and our dog happy, and left our house in better condition than he found it. Highly recommend!”
“Katie is a fabulous pet sitter and we have used her services for our dogs multiple times. She is very considerate and easy to work with and the best part is, that I can go away on a trip and feel peace that my dogs are in the hands of a professional, caring, responsible person. Highly recommend!”
“Communication was fantastic from start to finish. We received updates and photos, so we never had to wonder how things were going. Questions were answered quickly. Flexibility was another huge plus. When our schedule changed, Becca adapted without any fuss and worked with us to make it happen. It made being away so much easier. Our dogs were happy and well cared for, with no issues at all.”
“Izzy took great care of our dogs while we were out. I would definitely trust her with our babies again! Would absolutely recommend to anyone who is nervous to leave their babies alone! Thank you again, Izzy!”
“Rachel is our go to sitter for our two Danes. I actually think our Danes wait for us to leave on a trip, cause that means time with one of their favorite people. We've used her for years, and our animals have all loved her!”
“We had a great experience with Kristi as our cat sitter. She was respectful, personable, and showed great kindness to all our pets. During the meet-and-greet, she quickly bonded with our anxious dog, even though we took him with us on our trip, which was a huge relief. Kristi made sure to follow all instructions for our cats, ensuring they had enough food and water and scooping their litter box as needed. She went above and beyond by checking our mailbox, even though we hadn't asked her to, and kept our house just as clean as we left it. She also washed the dishes she used for feeding the cats, which was very thoughtful. Her communication was excellent throughout. Highly recommend!”
“Book her! My dog looked so relaxed in the pics we received of her. Erin was communicative and so personable. I had no hesitation leaving my dog in her care. I will definitely be booking Erin again!”
“Stephanie did an excellent job of taking care of my cat while I went on vacation. She sent updates and pictures to me while I was gone. She completely won over my cat. I highly recommend Stephanie and will definitely book her again for my next trip.”
“Mattilynn did a wonderful job caring for our 2 dogs while we were out of the country. She sent pictures of our fur babies throughout the 2 weeks of house/dog sitting which made us happy to know they were being well cared for. We would definitely book her again in the future.”
“Jay went above and beyond caring for our pup while we were on vacation for a week. We’ve never left her in the care of someone that wasn’t friends or family before, but he made us feel so comfortable and our dog was so happy to be with him, which eased our minds greatly! I have previously worked at dog daycare/boarding facilities, on Wag!, on Rover and other pet care companies for the past decade, so I do have knowledge and high expectations when it comes to pet care and Jay exceeded them all. We have Furbo dog camera and it alerts me every time someone is in our home, our dog is playing, etc and he was always very timely and so very caring regarding our home and our dog. He also left the sweetest notes about what they did every morning and evening and sent us pictures of her every day. We will definitely look to Jay for every time we need someone to watch our dog moving forward! Thank you again so much!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Stilwell 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 Stilwell 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Stilwell 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.
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.
