“Stephanie is amazing! Our cat is usually shy, but he loves her. She keeps us informed of every visit and sends us lots of pics of our kitty so we don’t miss him as much when we’re away. It gives us a lot of comfort knowing she’s taking care of him.”
“Erika was such an amazing help with this last minute service I needed! She was super sweet to my precious dog baby and she was very thorough and highly dependable! 10 out of 10 service and i would certainly recommend and use her again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats as long as I can remember. I have always had a love for all animals and love to spend my spare time caring for them. I have been watching my friends and family’s pets for years and would love to meet your furry friends and care for them when life gets busy or you want to take a trip. I have taken multiple dogs and cats off the streets and cared for them until I was able to find them loving homes. I have a flexible hybrid schedule so I am able to adjust to take care of your pets as needed . I’m available for house sitting on the weekends! I love to care for all animals and give them the care they need while their parents may be busy. I always make sure to send plenty of photos and updates.
About: I’m a natural animal lover with nearly 20 years of experience caring for animals. I got my first dog in 3rd grade after working hard to earn all A’s, and ever since then, animals have been a huge part of my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish, giving me experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’ve owned three cats over the years, lived in homes with multiple cats, and currently have a cat of my own. I’ve also cared for dogs of different sizes and temperaments and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, go on walks, or simply relax, I’ll give them the same love, attention, and care I would give my own pets. As a teacher, I have a structured daily routine during the school year and more flexibility during summers, which allows me to be consistent and reliable with pet care year-round. During the school year, I am available for morning, evening, and weekend care, and I make sure pets are fed, walked, played with, and checked on before and after work so they stay on their normal routine. In the summer and school breaks, I have full availability, which allows me to provide more frequent visits, longer stays, and extra playtime and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, medication if needed, and any special routines. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment through play and interaction, while keeping their space clean and safe. My goal is to make sure each pet feels secure, cared for, and as stress-free as possible while their owner is away.
“They’ve cared for our littles twice now and are absolutely amazing! Extremely fast responses and always check in before/after visits. I know our cats truly adore them and love on them each time. Wouldn’t trust anyone else!”
“Nathalya has been an absolute gem in helping me take care of the cats while I was away. She was responsive and on time and was able to provide great care to the kitties the way we needed it. I will be booking her again if her assistance is ever needed and would recommend to others!!”
“Sydney was great! She took the time to come by to meet our 3 dogs before our scheduled sitting, was communicative, and sent us pictures of our doggies. They loved the extra attention and were so glad we found Sydney! We will definitely reach out to her again for future sitting needs.”
“Olivia is great with our dog. She was very flexible when our travel dates changed at the last minute and even brought our packages inside that we’re left on the front porch while we were away. I can’t speak more highly of her!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love spending time with them! As the proud owner of two cats and a Husky, I know that every pet has their own unique personality and deserves lots of love, patience, and attention. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or sticking to their daily routine, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pets and give them the care they deserve! I have a flexible schedule and love making time for pets! Whether your furry friend needs a walk, a drop-in visit, playtime, or lots of attention while you’re away, I’ll be there to provide reliable, loving care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine so they stay comfortable, happy, and stress-free. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how they’re doing. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they receive the care they’re used to. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed and instructed), or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I give my own. You can count on regular updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.
“Joanna was amazing to work with! From the moment we met, I trusted her to come in my home and care for my sweet puppy. She is experienced and knows what she is doing, and I felt very comfortable with her. She is prompt, easy to communicate with and really cared for my dog. She will be my first phone call in the future!”
“Geneva is a very patient pet sitter! I had a bit of trouble with my booking and she helped me through it and never made me feel bad about it. Would definitely recommend her and use her services again.”
About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life! With the occasional reptile and exotic animal as well. I believe everyone needs an animal friend! I am available to pet sit/house sit overnight as of now since I also work full time :) I have experience with different breeds and ages of dogs. I am able to have play time, take on walks, brush them/bathe them if needed etc. Any special requests are possible just inform me :)
About: I raised two wonderful, well adjusted, obedient Chows (at the same time, I know) with discipline, boundaries and consistency; and of course, my absolute love for animals. I am comfortable around animals and respect them. Animals all have their own unique selves and I take the time and effort to get to know and understand that unique self. I currently work full time in the Galleria area and live in Missouri City, but I have time and want to spend it with your pet. We have a fenced in yard. Our dog pretty much only wants to go out when he needs to because he is elderly. He's a terrier, so he fancies himself the boss of us. He is the boss of my dad (he is technically my father's dog), but he knows I don't indulge in his high jinks. He's a rascal.
About: Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy. I've been looking after dogs for 16+ years, and your pet will be treated like part of our family while they're with me. I have a friendly 1-year-old Aussiedoodle, so I am familiar with high-energy, intelligent dogs that need both physical and mental stimulation. My home is full of love, playtime, and supervision so your pet will never feel alone. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets. I am comfortable with puppies as we continue to train our own as well as care for senior dogs who may need extra patience and gentle care. My goal is to keep your pet safe, happy and on their own routine while you're away. I am also happy to send regular photo updates so you can feel completely at ease. I am very flexible and home most of the time, so your pet will have constant care. I am available for boarding, drop ins, and walks, including weekends. Your pet will be safe inside our home. I provide supervised potty breaks in our fully fenced backyard. I am very lucky to live near a beautiful lakeside park, perfect for scenic walks, fresh air and plenty of sniffing around. I am happy to keep your pet in a crate if crate trained.
About: I have been around animals all my life, and I love playing with the dogs and making sure there safe and well taken care of while the family is out of town! I am currently not working any jobs, if I do have a job it is going to be a part time nanny job in the mornings, I am almost always available! Personally I will not be bringing your animal back to my house I will watch them at your home so they feel safe and know the environment.
“Gabrielle was a fantastic pet sitter! She consistently checked in our pets and sent us lots of updates and pictures. When we got home after 5 days, our dog seemed happy and just like his regular self. He still had some food and water in his bowls, too. We highly recommend her and will use her again in the future soon!”
“Mckenzie is a very polite and ambitious young lady. My dog took to her right away, and Mckenzie was also good with her as well. She was prompt, updated us with Rover messages and pictures as agreed upon. I look forward to using her services again when needed.”
About: My name is Hailee and I absolutely love animals! I would love the opportunity to take care of your furry loved ones. I have experience caring for animals of all sizes and species, from caged pets, to pastured pets, to house pets. Growing up, I lived in a very large semi farm, with a large array of animals. From horses and cows, cats and dogs, rats and Guinea pigs, to snakes and lizards. I’ve cared for almost every type of domesticated animal there is! I love working with and caring for animals, and I believe I could provide just what your pet needs while you’re away. I have experience dealing with pets who have needed meds and have had special needs such as seizures, incontinence, feeding issues, etc. Guest pets in my home are always welcome on the furniture and to sleep in my bed or wherever they choose, as your pets happiness is my number one priority! I am typically on a fully clear schedule right now. I am doing classes online through a community college, so I am able to dictate most of my time! I have a half fenced yard at my own residence and I am able to separate families pets as needed. There are no current free roaming animals in my home so your pet would be the only one! Caring for pets in others homes is a pleasure as well! Keeping your pets safe and sound, and as comfortable as possible is always the goal I strive to achieve. I currently am a work-from-home employee and have freedom to choose my schedule! I have full flexibility and am able to accommodate almost all owner and pet needs! I love walking dogs in their familiar neighborhoods/dog parks! My goal is to keep your pet as stress free and happy as I am able while you are away, to provide the best experience for you both! I have been through many different levels of temperaments with many different types of animals and aim to make you as the owner and your pet as happy as possible!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stafford
We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Our three dogs aren’t always the easiest crew to manage, but she handled them incredibly well and quickly became best buds with all three. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. She was reliable, caring, and clearly has a great way with dogs. We came home to three happy pups and will absolutely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!
I would 100% recommend Kaitlyn B. She met and exceeded all of our expectations. She was very personable and easy to communicate with and gave us peace of mind that our dogs were in good hands while we were away. A bonus that made me smile was her daily updates that showed she was paying close attn to our dogs- she really captured each of their personalities and habits. I hope she is available next time we go out of town!
JaQuia was absolutely amazing with my dog! From start to finish, her communication was excellent, keeping me updated and giving me complete peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear that she has a genuine passion for dogs and truly cares about their well-being. My dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I highly recommend JaQuia to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and caring sitter through Rover. We will definitely be booking with her again! 🐾

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Stafford stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Stafford 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!
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Stafford with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
