“Robert was ABSOLUTELY fabulous! He was patient, thoughtful, and really communicative. From the moment we requested a sitter until after the service was complete, he was swift to respond, sent lots of pictures, and kept us updated on all the pet care rituals. He did not flinch when the breaker needed to be reset during a housesit, and he took such wonderful care of our tankgirl, Bailey. 5 stars, 2 thumbs way up, and a 3 snaps in Z formation! Highly recommend.”
“We have a 'difficult' little one, reactionary and weaning off behaviour meds while we were away. KJ did a great job managing our pup, worked with her on training, and gave her all the attention we couldnt. We will be booking her again for sure!”
“Absolutely amazing! Nila immediately bonded with Tricia and was relaxed and happy upon our return. Thank you so much, Tricia! Would highly recommend and would give 10 stars if possible. :)”
“Maryna took great care of our cats. We had a tough situation for her. Our cats had been having some behavioral issues and we had to make last minute adjustments to their care. She handled it all really easily. We also have a very shy cat that has asthma. I was thinking he wouldn’t let her give him his inhaler for days, but she was able to coax him out of hiding within 24 hours and give him his inhaler. She was great with communication and handled our tricky situation with grace and professionalism.”
“I had the most wonderful experience working with Elisa. She took such amazing care of my furbaby. She sent me photos and updates which really reassured me that my dog was well cared for. Do not hesitate to book Elisas services! She was kind, professional and most of all she genuinely cared about the well-being of my dog and its obvious how much she loves animals and is great with them! She took great care of my home and watered my plants. I plan on only working with Elisa in the future and I am so thankful for the amazing experience!”
“Veronika was absolutely wonderful to work with when we took a 2-week vacation recently. She was a dream come true while watching our dog and our house and was in constant communication despite an 8-hour time difference. Her care of our dog was impeccable-she picked up on every detail and followed all the instructions so our dog had a totally consistent environment. Veronika has a huge heart for both pets and Owners and I can fully recommend her services. We received 3-4 pictures per day and she always responded to every text; sent questions when needed; let us know if something was happening at the house and supported us with a few small tasks that popped up while we were away. Our dog is sad today now that we are back and Veronika is no longer with her and that pretty much demonstrates how wonderful she was in her care and kindness to our family.”
“Happy that Juniper was available again for this last sit. My cat loves her and remembered her from last time so she didn't need any warm up time. I actually think my cat wasn't so sad that I was leaving this time because she wanted to hang out with Juniper again. Juniper is great with communication, asking questions and sending updates. I highly recommend her services.”
“Sarah did a great job housesitting our dogs! Her communication was excellent. Our dogs seemed very comfortable with her and were relaxed when we came home. She left our home in great shape too. We would definitely rebook with Sarah again!”
“Shalindra was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Kahlua, while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way, even accommodating a last-minute flight delay and staying later than planned on her birthday to make sure Kahlua was cared for. We loved receiving daily updates and photos, and it was clear Kahlua had a great time with all of the park adventures and extra attention. When we returned, Kahlua was happy, freshly bathed, and our home was spotless. Shalindra was incredibly respectful of our house and treated both our dog and our home with so much care. We felt completely at ease knowing Kahlua was in such capable hands and would gladly trust Shalindra again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Matthew took great care of our little Frenchie! It makes a huge difference for us when we travel and know that Ranger will be well loved and taken care of. It’s also wonderful to come back to a clean house just the way we left it. Thank you Matthew!”
“Ryasa was fantastic! She stayed at our apartment while we went out of town and was great taking care of our pups. Great communication during booking and she gave me updates and photos and kept me posted on how everything was going during the stay. We have some spoiled pups.. one in particular.. and she handled him so well :) Made friends with him and definitely gave us peace of mind while we were gone. Would for sure recommend and rebook in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for pets right now. I’ll be starting a job in January, so until then, I’m looking forward to filling my time with pet care and giving animals plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get their energy out, along with a kennel if needed. I also live near trails and creeks, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time. I always prioritize safety, follow each pet’s routine and any instructions from their owner, and make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and supervised in a safe environment.
“Hiring Stef was our first dog/house sitting experience. Glad that I went with my hunch that she would be the perfect fit. Stef was amazing with our little Pomeranian. She left the house so nice and clean upon our return, and was an amazing communicator. Plus, Stef is just a really nice person who is so great and easy to work with. Highly recommend!!”
“Alexis was fantastic as always. We are so glad to have her sitting for our cats while we are away on trips! She is very reliable, flexible, and was even able to make last minute adjustments to the stay to better accommodate our schedule. We deeply appreciate everything she has done for us!”
“We were so happy to have Claudia take care of our 2 dogs in our home for the weekend, so we could relax and enjoy time away knowing that Brandi and Bella were in good hands! Thank you Claudia!”
“Juan was amazing with my senior cat and my dog. He was attentive specifically towards my cat. And answered immediately whenever I would inquire about my pets. I strongly recommend.”
“2nd overnight dog sitting in our home with Brian. Was again a great experience and would recommend him! Thank you Brian, we will use your services again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stuart
Jenny was such a blessing to have as a sitter for Coco. Coco was looked after so well. Jenny followed all my instructions well and we were continously updated about coco with pics and vedios. Our house was well looked after as well and we walked into a very happy coco and a clean and tidy home.
Alina was the perfect fit for our family. The two dogs immediately felt safe and comfortable with her. Her spirt is kind and the like all dogs they knew she was loves animals. She took them for their regular walks and took them on an adventure to the park. The biggest testimony to her pets sitting is that the dogs were calm, happy, and napping after she left. She has the vibe!
We couldn't be happier with our experience! Our elderly dog has some vision and hearing challenges, so finding someone we truly trust with him isn't easy — but she was absolutely wonderful with him. She took exceptional care of him, was easy to communicate with, and we felt completely at ease having her stay in our home. We'd highly recommend her to anyone, especially those with senior or special-needs pets. We'll definitely be booking again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Stuart is $106 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $74 and $111 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.

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 , 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.
