“Keira was awesome with the "zoo" at my house. She was very conscientious and connected right away with all my pets. She kept me very well updated on how everyone was doing and was very flexible and easy to work with. I felt at peace knowing my pets were in good hands while I was away. Would recommend her as an A++ pet sitter!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and love them. I’m used to big dogs and small ones, fast walkers and older, slower pups. I can also help with medication and feeding. I’m a teacher on summer break, happy to help with your dog walking and care needs! My schedule is flexible and I look forward to getting to know your four-legged friends. I am available for dog walks, long or short. I can also visit with your dog to keep them company and play with them to keep them entertained.
“Marlena was amazing with our 2 pups!! She accommodated a last minute holiday weekend bookin and took such amazing care of our dogs. She sent multiple pictures (which were of professional quality btw) so we knew our fur babies were in good hands. We will gratefully ask Marlena to look after our dogs again. Thank you!”
About: Growing up, it seemed every friend, cousin and neighbor I had had some form of fury friend to love, but I was never allowed to have my own. So, I am used to and love taking care of others’ fury friends! It’s like being a grand mom- you get to play and have fun with them (while being responsible of course) and then give them back. I enjoy being outside, so your friend will always get a nice, long walk with me! I also have experience volunteering at an animal shelter, though I was mostly taking care of the cats. I set my own schedule for work so I am very flexible and available. I will schedule my days around taking care of your friend I will make sure your friend is comfortable and given plenty of pets, food and water. Walks are never short (unless need be) and play time never ends
“Kenzie was truly the best sitter we could have asked for. She watched our 2 dogs and cat for about 5 days and sent photos many times a day to check in. She was also totally flexible and unfazed when things came up, like when we had to order new harnesses and heartworm meds for the dogs. It had been over a year since we last used Rover, due to a bad experience prior, but we felt totally at ease with Kenzie. We will 100% be reaching out to Kenzie first the next time we need a sitter!”
“Dee was wonderful with the pups. Annie is sometimes shy and reserved within five minutes. She was cuddling with Dee on the couch. The three dogs were so tired. They slept the rest of the day and didn’t want to get up the next morning! lol.”
“Meghan was super flexible and provided great updates and photos. She was absolutely wonderful with my pup who takes a bit to warm up to new people. Kiki loved her and we will definitely book again!”
About: I have taken care of family pets since I was little! I have taken care of cats and dogs. I have also volunteered in animal shelters! I am a teacher who is off for the summer! I have plenty of time to take care of your sweet pets! Overnight stays, walks, check ins I prioritize your pet's safety and comfort within their own home. I'll ensure all doors and windows are secure, and I'm mindful of any potential hazards. My visits will be scheduled to provide consistent companionship and avoid leaving your pet alone for extended periods. I'm happy to follow any specific security routines you have in place.
“Victoria arrived promptly and gave us continuous updates and pictures during her sit with Dexter. We would highly recommend Victoria to any other pet parents. We have already booked her for another visit!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we were a little apprehensive. But Jared came and met our dogs before staying and made us feel at ease. He sent us updates and did everything he said he would. We had a great experience and will be asking him to come back again!”
“I would leave more stars if I could. Our trip was enjoyed more because Sterlin is professional, caring and most importantly loving to our Cavilier. We left Sugar in great hands!!!!”
“Katie connected really well with our skittish little pup Gigi when she took care of her and Presley overnight on short notice. Katie is personable, trustworthy, and all around down to earth and the kind of person you can trust to take care of your home and fur babies. Thanks Katie! We look forward to seeing you again in the future.”
“Bridget was fantastic! She was always very responsive and kept us updated with the cats throughout our trip. She also gave us the sense that she really cared for our cats well being and gave them lots of attention.”
About: I’ve watched multiple dogs at once all my life, making sure they get all the attention and love they need. I also love to just walk around so your babies will get the exercise they need. I’m free most hours Sunday through Thursday. Saturday and Friday get a little iffy but I’m sure I can work stuff out. I work part time so most of my day would be spent caring for your dogs. I will play with your dog walk them as long as they need. I’ll let them out and make sure they are as safe as they can be.
“Julia was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She was reliable, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well cared for. Julia stayed overnight, sent frequent updates and photos, and made the entire experience completely stress-free for us. We came home to a very happy dog and could tell she had been in great hands. We highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable sitter. We would happily book her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stone Harbor
I knew from the moment I met her, that there was something special about Alicia. She was a joy and quickly became a blessing to have as our dog sitter! She thoughtfully made everything so much easier from the first interaction I had with her. She really helped us, and went above and beyond. She cared for our dogs as if they were her own, giving them love, attention, and comfort the entire time. I especially appreciated how she stayed in touch throughout, keeping me updated so we felt at ease while away. I am so grateful for her kindness and care, I can’t recommend her enough!

FAQs for House Sitting - Stone Harbor
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Stone Harbor on Rover is $83.25 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 250 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stone Harbor. 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 Stone Harbor 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 Stone Harbor 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 Stone Harbor 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 with handling special pet needs in Stone Harbor. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 100% 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.
