“Roger was very responsive and took great care of my little dachshund. They were very patient with my dog, and my dog even opened up to them from the jump which can be rare. Very attentive to detail and the care guide. Would definitely recommend!”
“Alyssa is phenomenal! This is the type of person you want taking care of your pet. She is intelligent, professional, calm, and an expert communicator. My dog loved her immediately. We are very happy to have found Alyssa.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats for over 20 years and currently have 2 very friendly cats named toothless and simba who love to play.

“Our drop-in visits with Kat were the first time we’ve returned home from a trip and our cats weren’t stressed and/or hiding. I loved receiving the daily rover cards and felt like our cats were in good hands. Will definitely book again next time we travel!”
About: I’ve cared for and raised dogs since I was 10 from small to large breeds (bully breeds, labs, puggles, yorkies, etc.) I’m experienced in caring and rehabbing injured dogs including wound care, medication administration, navigating bathroom breaks, and walking to regain strength and mobility. Pets are family to me and I’m passionate about rescues and second chance dogs. I’ve had multiple large breed dogs from 6 weeks to the day they crossed the rainbow bridge. I work full-time in the healthcare industry with a flexible schedule to be remote and in office, which allows me to stop by for walks, potty breaks, grooming, litter box cleaning, and snuggles. I get to know the pets and owners home, routine, habits, and personality to ensure they feel comfortable and safe with me caring for them.
“Julie took great care of my 5-year-old German Shepherd. She was very responsive, professional, and reliable. I’m so glad I found her and would definitely recommend her.”
About: I've had pets most of my life and I consider them as family. My clients have said that I'm the dog Whisperer.I develop a strong bond with the pets I take care and they all love me. I can administer meds and I can do brushing, feeding, fetching, walking, bathing of animals if necessary and lots of tlc. I haven't found an animal that I haven't loved. I do have transportation to take them to parks and other places that they need to go to. My clients all say that I have truly made a very large difference in their pets lives as well as their own. I also do basice training of dogs. Several of my clients have given me keys to their homes. I'm retired and my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm open to walking dogs twice a day if the owner wants me to that. I can also do last minute requests also. I have a cat and he has a very easy life living with me. I take care of dogs and cats that I walk or house sit with like they are part of my family. I treat them with the respect and dignity that they deserve.
“Katie did a great job looking after my older dog. She was right on time, obviously caring and followed all the instructions left for her, even sending photos of her visits. I highly recommend and would definitely hire Katie again.”
About: I have cared for dogs for a decade and have always had cats. I have been a foster mom for dogs, cats, and kittens for several rescues. I have a lot of flexibility to watch your pets. Happy to walk, feed, and love on your animals, stay overnights, or keep them at my house. My partner works from home so there is an additional person to love on your animals and watch them if I step out. I have a large fenced-in back yard that's great for doggy playtime! I have indoor/outdoor cats that keep to themselves. If your animals are cat friendly they are happy to mingle, but also have plenty of space to keep them separate. I typically only watch animals from one household at a time, with exception if they're very friendly with others and everyone feels comfortable.
“I had a great experience with Kayley doing drop in visits with my cats while I was out of town. She was very responsive with great communication, helped with not only cat tasks but also household things like the garden, and was great about sending updates and photos! I will plan to work with her again and had no complaints!”
“Devon was incredibly professional, responsive, and kept me updated throughout the entire stay. Her clear communication made me feel at ease while I was away, knowing my dog was in good hands. Thank you Devon for taking such good care of Luna.”
“We had a great experience with Sophia! She dropped in on our girls for three days this week and was wonderful. She was always prompt and on time, followed everything we asked, and even took the girls for a walk one day, which was such a nice bonus! Most importantly, the girls seemed happy and comfortable with her, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were at work. Everything went smoothly, and we had absolutely no complaints. We would definitely be happy to have her watch them again!”
“Kaylee was amazing! She spent time with our kitties, played with them, fed them, and even gave them treats that her cat didn’t love. She was a clear communicator and reliable! We’d have her watch our cats any time!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stafford
Tabitha took amazing care of my cat, Loki! This was the first time we had ever left him alone for 7 days, so we were naturally a little nervous. She followed all the instructions perfectly, sent us plenty of pictures every day, and kept us updated on how Loki was doing. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We truly appreciate her care and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
We booked Kristen on short notice after our sitter canceled on us. Oliver (our cat) is diabetic, so that comes with some additional responsibilities for a cat sitter. Kristen was so communicative and on top of everything for care. She asked questions to make sure she understood what to do. She also sent so many pictures and gave Oliver lots of cuddles. Highly recommend due to her friendly demeanor, reliability, and responsiveness!
Our pups are always so excited to see their sitters! And they roll with the sheer volume of happy that comes with giant breed dogs. Caring and dog savvy, highly recommend. Fast and clear communication. Flexible and receptive to scheduling changes and a great sense of humor makes it fun to navigate the challenges of traveling and being confident our pets are in capable caring hands
Roger and his family took wonderful care of our cat while we were gone. They are trustworthy, reliable, friendly and a very caring family. They took daily pictures and videos and they were very observant as to describing our kitty's behavior and idiosyncrasies. We are so happy to have found them. I would highly recommend them.
We are very pleased with Aleen's care of our cat Tulip. While Tulip was pretty timid, Aileen was making progress with her by the time we returned. I found Aileen to perfectly follow the feeding and litterbox instructions I left her (believe me, I've had some epic fails in the past with other services). A huge thank you to Aileen from me and Tulip.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Stafford is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $32 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 6,709 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Stafford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Stafford. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
