“Katie stayed with our 2 boys without a lot of notice, everything went very smoothly. Our big guy had been having a lot of tummy/health issues recently and she was really good about adjusting diet to try to get him to eat some. Would definitely recommend her for your pets!”
“Anna was awesome watching our dog and house!! It made it easier traveling knowing she was watching our golden! She sent lots of pics! I will be using her again and would recommend to anyone!”
“She was absolutely fantastic. We were out of town for longer than we've been before, but we felt completely comfortable and knew our pets were happy and healthy.”
“Audrey was AMAZING with Malibu! Malibu was recently adopted and very timid with new people, but Audrey did a great job and Malibu loosened up and even cuddled her sometimes. Audrey sent multiple pictures daily and checked in daily. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Sarah is the most thoughtful and considerate dog sitter we have ever had. She is interested in knowing all of your pets’ unique needs, behaviors, and routines. We have referred her to other friends who equally prioritize dog + house sitting services and look to trust someone with experience. Our senior dogs have separation anxiety when we travel for work. Sarah gives us peace of mind knowing that they are given the genuine love, individualized attention, and comfort they are used to with us at home. No matter if it is a smaller trip, or a longer time away, Sarah is prepared, patient, communicative, and generous with our pups. We return home to a clean house every time. We could not recommend her more.”
“Sandra was a great choice and I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again. My shy dog liked her from the moment they met. She knows how to relate and make a dog feel safe. She took such good care of my pup and my house. My house looked like I had just walked how the door. Nice to come home to. Thanks again Sandra”
“It was such a relief to have Aidan caring for my dogs at my house while I was gone on my 8 day vacation. My pups are 14 and 11 years old and have special dietary and medical needs and he was able to keep them well fed, medicated and happy! This was the first time in their whole lives that I didn't have friends or family available to watch them, but I didn't have to worry as Aidan sent pictures and kept me up to date on how things were going. If I am in this situation again Aidan will be the first person I reach out to!”
“We had Teresa stay with our two corgis and husky over this weekend and everything was perfect! They were happy, she was incredibly responsive and sent pictures for us. We were at ease the whole weekend knowing they were in good hands. Thanks for taking such good care of them!”
About: I have taken care of pets with all sorts of different needs, all different ages, all different sizes, and all different energy levels. I love dogs and cats!!

I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m happy to follow your specific instructions and routines. I’ll also respect your home by keeping things clean, secure, and just as I found them. I want you to feel comfortable!

“Sauddi took excellent care of our dogs and our home! She provided ample updates and even left a few toys for the dogs to enjoy after her stay with them. We would absolutely recommend her to others and will not hesitate to rebook with her in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stow
This was our first time Lori house sat with our Marshall. I was highly stressed to find someone who could take care of our very spoiled little guy. He had some undiagnosed medical issues lately. She was willing to care for him. It went very well and she kept me informed of all the details I was waiting to hear. We really appreciated her care of our little guy and have already scheduled for two more trips.
Devon did such a great job house sitting with our two French Bulldogs. He followed all instructions, sent us thorough updates, lots of photos, and left our home clean. His veterinary experience really made us feel comfortable leaving our animals with him, and we would be happy to book with him again.
Brooke was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond to take care of our older dog including cleaning up after him when he had a few accidents. She was also incredibly flexible with everything we needed or if the schedule we had set changed and it made our vacation so relaxing knowing Jax was so well taken care of while we were gone. We will absolutely use Brooke again in the future and would recommend her to any of our friends and family!
Kara did a fantastic job caring for my pets and our home! We have a pig and a cat and they seem to have taken to her right away! I don’t think we were even missed! Everyone was very happy when we came home. The house looked great. She even watered our garden and handled random house issues with ease. We will definitely use her again!
Marlaina was a truly excellent pet sitter. She communicated with us well and the house and pets were in great shape when we returned. She made sure she understood when our dog was anxious how to best help him. And she even did all this through a microburst and with electric out for over 24 hours. I will definitely have her sit for us again! Can’t recommend highly enough.
Mackenzie always goes above and beyond to make sure my dogs are happy, healthy, and comfortable. She's incredibly kind, responsive, and trustworthy as well. When my travel plans were delayed, she did not hesitate to offer to make sure the dogs were taken care of until I got back. HIGHLY recommend her services!
It was a pleasure to have Alexa stay in our home with Zeke and Zoey for 4 nights while we were out of town. She communicated with us regularly, including pictures and videos of how they were doing, which we really appreciated. We trust her with our pups and our home and hope to have her back in the future. Thanks so much, Alexa!!
We had a great experience with Audrey. She sent daily updates with photos of Kitty, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Kitty clearly received lots of love and attention, and it was obvious she was well cared for when we returned home. She was communicative, dependable, and incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire sit. We especially appreciated how proactive, responsible, and solution-oriented she was in handling an unexpected situation during our trip. Our home was clean when we returned, and we truly felt that both Kitty and our house were in caring hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.
Alex did a great job with my 2 senior dogs! House sat for 5 nights, and we came home to house and dogs in great shape! One dog needs more supervision for hot spot treatment, Alex followed instructions and updated us about him. Good communication, sent photos of the dogs at least once a day. Very pleased with the service, would book again!
We had such a great experience with Isabella watching our three dogs. She was wonderful with communication and kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dogs were clearly so well cared for and happy when we returned. She even checked in on our son’s gecko, which was incredibly thoughtful and appreciated. We are so grateful for everything she did and would absolutely recommend her!
Kayla took amazing care of our dogs while we were gone. She kept us updated the whole time and they all had a great time together. She stayed at the house here and I think it was cleaner when we came back than when we left! Very thankful she was able to watch our dogs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Stow on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,302 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stow. 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 Stow 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 Stow 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 Stow 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.

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.
