“Mars was amazing with my three dogs and my cat for a recent weekend trip I took out of town. She came out to my house and met me and my animals prior to my trip. She stayed at my house and took great care of my babies. She updated me with pictures and I felt fully at ease with her. I highly recommend Mars for any pet sitting needs you may have!!”

About: I am currently a junior at OSU majoring in zoology. I have a cat named Troye whom I have had for 1 year. I grew up with dogs and have experience giving oral medication. I also have 3 years working with large mammals at accredited zoos. I am a full time student at OSU, so I am looking to work locally in Stillwater, but can also serve surrounding areas like Guthrie and north Edmond depending on my schedule. I feel free to reach out and ask any questions! I live in a small apartment, so I am looking for clients interested in walks and drop in visits and housesitting! I will always treat your home and pets with the same respect that you would, and would love to set expectations on both ends before booking!
“Emily was such an amazing pet sitter!! She sent lots of updates and photos and my pets looked so happy! I felt so relaxed on my trip knowing they were in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of all types of animals ranging from hedgehogs to special needs dogs. Never have I found a challenge that I couldn’t overcome I’m a college student with only a couple of classes every day, none of which would interfere with caring for an animal I have been put in charge of I know from personal experiences that keeping your pet in their own environment Is always better than dragging them out somewhere new, whether I’m staying the night, or just popping in a couple times during the day we’ll be best friends by the end of day 1
About: I have pet sat in the past, overnight and just during the day. I am a Stillwater Animal Welfare volunteer. I am originally from Tulsa and I have Three dogs at home. I am a college freshman and I would love to get my name out for pet sitting! I’m a student currently so I have classes during the day, but my weekends are pretty free. I am willing to house sit during the week. I will fit whatever your needs are. I am very flexible and can learn quickly if your pet has any special accommodations. I have had all sizes of dogs, so I can handle mostly anything.
About: I am a huge animal lover and have grown up around them my entire life. At present, I have two dogs at home - but sometimes four (basically a mini-shelter!) My dogs often go on daily adventures with me, whether it be on long hikes outdoors or on brief excursions to Starbucks for a pup cup. Whenever my friends or family need someone to dog-sit, I am their first choice, and I have taken care of a wide variety of breeds, ranging in size from the small maltese to the large malinois. When it comes to taking care of your pets, a top priority for me is safety: I will make sure that they are properly leashed when walking and are well taken care of at home. I have completed multiple training courses and am familiar with how to handle reactivity, aggression, anxiety, and stubbornness in dogs as well as cats. I have plenty of time available for dog walking and pet-sitting before / after work or even during lunch. I look forward to helping, so please feel free to reach out! I care for pets with a realistic mindset. It takes a while for them to create a bond with a new person. I will be calm, give them treats and show them affection to create a bond with your best friend.
About: I come from a big family who loves pets! Have plenty of experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles, and livestock since I was a little kid! I’m currently a full-time student at osu. My dog gets a walk before and after class and I spend a lot of time training him/getting his energy out in the afternoons. I shape my schedule to make sure pets are always well cared for. With my current apartment complex i unfortunately cannot board other dogs in my home. But I have transportation and would be more than happy to check in on yours as many times a day as needed!
About: I bring a calm, reliable, and responsible approach to pet care. I focus on making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m consistent with routines like feeding, walks, and check-ins, and I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’m also attentive and patient with senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra care, or more frequent check-ins. What sets me apart is my reliability and attention to detail, I treat every pet like they’re part of a routine, not a task. Owners can expect clear communication, dependability, and a respectful approach to both their home and their pet’s well-being. I work a full-time job from 8–5, but I’m available for pet care outside of those hours. I can do early morning visits, evening care, and overnight stays depending on the pet’s needs and schedule. I also have full availability on weekends. I’m organized with my time and make sure pet care visits are consistent, unhurried, and reliable. When I commit to a booking, I plan my schedule carefully to ensure each pet gets proper attention and care. I provide pet care in the client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box or yard clean-up, medication (if needed), and any specific care preferences. I focus on creating a calm, reliable, and attentive visit each time, making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I adjust my approach based on each pet’s personality, whether they are energetic, shy, social, or more independent. I also prioritize clear communication and provide updates so owners feel confident and informed. I make sure the home is secure after each visit and treat each client’s space with respect.
About: I provide so much more than just pet sitting! I strive to create a safe, loving environment where pets feel understood and cared for. I have hands-on experience with puppies, including helping with basic training, routines, and lots of patience during those high-energy stages. I’m also very empathetic and attentive, so I pick up quickly on each pet’s personality, needs, and comfort level! Whether it’s a playful puppy or a pet that needs a little extra reassurance, I make sure they feel secure, happy, and genuinely cared for while you’re away 🐾💛 I'm currently interning part time, pet care fits smoothly into my weekly routine by allowing me to plan around that schedule! I make sure to organize my days so I can consistently provide reliable care, including walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins! I provide care in my client’s home to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I’m very attentive to each pet’s needs and behavior, and I make sure they feel safe, calm, and cared for while their owner is away. I prioritize communication with the client whether that be through pictures or updates, so they can remain at ease!
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 13. I typically watch my family's dogs when they go on vacation. I can bathe them also. I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday but it is a work from home job. I can do early mornings and evening visits and my weekend availability is open. I am also not taking any boarding right now but i can do everything else! When I come to your home i can assure you my full attention will be on them!

The average cost of House Sitting in Yost is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $44 per night.

As of October 2026, there are 110 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Yost. 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 Yost 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 Yost 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 Yost 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.
