“Lorianne is awesome. She will care for your pets like they're her own. She is caring, reliable and responsible. Lorianne is truly Amazing and the best dog sitter and Scooby agrees 🐾❤️🐾.”
“Alysia is very kind and caring. She took wonderful care of our senior lab, Bailey. There are many details surrounding Bailey’s care and Alysia handled her feeding, supplements and daily/nightly routines thoughtfully. We hope to have Alysia stay with Bailey again.”
“OMGOODNESS! Samantha was awesome! She was punctual and communicated well with us while we were away. She stayed over at our house for 8 nights and worked here during the day and there was hardly a trace of her when she left. Except the impression she left on our fur babies! I think they actually miss her!!! We have already booked her for our next vacation and tried another date but she wasn’t available!!! She is that good! Happy pup parents and happy pups!!!!”
“Tara did a great job house and dog sitting with our senior chihuahua Dudley. She sent pictures and updated us during the day and always responded to messages promptly. We will definitely have Tara house/dog sit for us again.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing! She watched my two year old golden retriever for four days. She sent me photos and updates daily and gave me a great peace of mind knowing someone was taking care of my dog the same way I would!”
“Jessica is absolutely wonderful - thoughtful, responsible, personable, and clearly with an enormous love for animals. We couldn’t be more grateful to have found her as a caregiver for our two corgis - one highly active and the other a senior with special needs. If I could leave 6 stars, that wouldn’t be enough.”
About: Hey everyone! My name is Kelsey and I live in Stuart, I have been dog sitting for the past 4 years now with Rover. I've had dogs since I was a kid, sat for others and fostered for a few weeks as well. I have experience with all age ranges of dogs, including giving medications to senior dogs, and dogs that need a little extra care. Looking forward to gaining regular or one time clients! I work part-time at a golf course, shifts are typically 6-8 hours and out early. I work 3-4 shifts a week, aside from that I'll be home with your pet or available for morning/evening drop ins! I do prefer to meet the dog and owner prior to first drop in or walk just to get a better feel for what the dog will require.
“Our dog Kelsey has a new best buddy. Tracy did a wonderful job with our high energy German Shorthaired Pointer. Fortunately, Tracy has just about as much energy as Kelsey. We'll definitely use her again and recommend her highly.”
“Grace was amazing with our furr babies during a long day sit on the 4th at our home with one nervous big senior, who hates fireworks, and one young, little new rescue. She met us the day before our sit and we all instantly clicked. Grateful for her very caring and considerate handling of our 2 on the 4th! Thank you for hanging with B and L !! WE cant wait to have you back :)”
About: I’ve taken care of big dogs, small dogs, and cats. I have also helped with giving them their medication. I am able to be there all day and night with them and love going for walks. I also like to keep the owner updated everyday on the phone. I currently work remote and I am able to stay all day and night. I make my own schedule and can be free to play with the animals whenever as well as take them for a walk whenever. Everyone that I dog sit or cat sit for likes it when I stay over and I make sure to go a day before to meet the pets and have the owner walk me through what an average day looks like so that I imitate it and keep the same schedule. While I’m there I like to keep the house clean.
“Rebecca watched our two “boys” in our house and did a wonderful job! We have two very spoiled dogs that demand their routine, one of them is a senior dog. We came home to happy fur-babies and everything in our house just as we had left it. I highly recommend Rebecca! We will 100% use her again!”
“We had such a wonderful vacation with all our family after a brutal year and a half apart due to the pandemic. Thanks to Laura, we never worried about our home or our dogs. She let us know every day that all was well.”

About: Hi! I'm Savannah, a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of an 8-year-old Black Lab. Spending time with dogs has always been a big part of my life, and I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just some extra attention, I'm happy to provide a safe, fun, and caring experience.

“Nabilah has sat for 2x now each time she is 100% on task with Cassidy informative, followed all directions to assist with Cassidy’s schedule and medication needs, we are always confident that Cassidy will be in great hands with Nabilah!!!!! Thank you against Jean”
About: I believe they will see that I will care for their dogs as I do my own. My boy "Jax" in the picture, he took his last run on 12-17-2023. Miss him dearly. RIP My angel! I grew up with Poms and went on to the large breeds once I was on my own. Germans shepherds, Newfoundland, English Mastiffs, Afghan Hound and a Great Dane. I am a dog and animal lover PERIOD. I really should have been a vet, vet tech or maybe even a zoologist! But I'm happy just to spend time with the dogs. I have house broken and trained all my dogs personally to basic commands and even some tricks. Some dogs are verbal and some are visual. Not all dogs are the same! That's why I LOVE them SO much!! ~ Reba I own a small Swimming Pool Service Company and have for 20 years. I no longer work in the field I occasionally go troubleshooting jobs or meet with new clients. So I'm semi-retired and home quite a bit I don't really go much of anywhere. I have a fenced-in yard, bordered by bamboo and lots of sniffing/hunting areas. However, they are never left unattended. I'm always outside with them. There is also a pool for the swimmers and a grassy area for just for playing.

Alysia is very kind and caring. She took wonderful care of our senior lab, Bailey. There are many details surrounding Bailey’s care and Alysia handled her feeding, supplements and daily/nightly routines thoughtfully. We hope to have Alysia stay with Bailey again.

We can always count on Jennifer and Declan. Amber recognizes them as part of our family and is relaxed and happy whenever we go away. There is no better feeling than that: Knowing you can enjoy your time away stress free knowing your fur baby and home are in great hands. Thank you Jennifer and Declan.
Lori is wonderful with our spoiled Bailey. We never have to worry when we leave him with her. She was at our house over New Year’s and experience a very scared Bailey with lots of fireworks. She handle that situation just like we would have done. Bailey is very happy when he is with her. He hates for us to leave, but is very happy when he sees Lori at the door. We highly recommend her and use her when she is free. Thank you, Lori.
Katie was absolutely perfect. She came to do a pre-sit visit with Kelsey (our puppy) so they could get to know each other. She asked all the right questions regarding feeding, walking, etc. All the furniture and silver was here when we returned. Lol Kelsey enjoyed her so much he wanted to leave with her. We'll use her again and again
****Rachel stayed in our home and took care of our elderly Frenchie & Cat. She was always prompt, professional, and proactive; ensuring everything was just right with our pets and home while we were away. Auggie, our Frenchie, is a child to us. The next day we found him sitting outside the guest room looking for Rachel, so we know he bonded with her & that alone says a lot. We highly recommend Rachel 😊
Karessa was excellent with our dog, 2 cats and our house. Everything went smoothly and Bailey & cats were happy. She did everything we asked, kept us up to date on animals and sent pictures. Plus we came home to a spotless house! We will definitely be using Karessa again and recommend her to everyone.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Stuart on Rover is $74.65 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 972 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stuart. 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 Stuart 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 Stuart 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 Stuart 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 Stuart. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
