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!

About: I've always been an animal lover at heart, and I truly believe pets are family. 💙 Whether it's my own fur babies or caring for friends' and family's pets, I pour that same love and attention into every moment. I'm great with routines and will make sure your pet stays on track—because consistency means comfort. Their trust means the world to me, and I’m so happy to be there for them. 🐾 I’m currently working in a position where I can make my own schedule. I will mostly be available all day on weekends and some weekday afternoons. I have a secure, fenced yard and a sweet dog who loves making new furry friends—perfect company if you're looking for a comfortable boarding spot. 🐶 If your pup follows a feeding or walking routine, I’ll stick to it like clockwork. Just let me know what works best for your pet, and I’ll make sure they feel right at home. 🏡

Kim was a new sitter for me and I was not disappointed! She was very transparent with communication and made sure to give updates and pictures on my two cats. After the 3 day sitting, she left me a thank you card and some treats for my fur babies!

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!

It was my first time using Rover and actually first time leaving my dog in the hands of a stranger. Natalie was so awesome and took such good care of our doberman Murphy. She maintain great communication throughout and even with the couple hiccups we ran into like our door pad not working, she worked with me on a solution. She was so patient and understanding. I highly recommend her!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 25 years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages—from playful puppies and kittens to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. Over the years, I’ve become very comfortable administering medications, following specialty diets, and recognizing the unique needs that come with different life stages and health conditions. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, gentle walks, or quiet companionship, I tailor my care to what makes them feel safest and happiest. I also truly understand how hard it can be to leave your pet when you’re away. I have personally struggled when I have had to travel and know how important it is to know your pet pets are cared for and safe. They’re family—and you want to know they’re in good hands. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing reliable, attentive, and loving care, while keeping you updated so you never feel far from your furry companion. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I’d be honored to care for yours 🐾 I am currently an empty Nester and retired and have very flexible availability. I am home all day and only leave for basic errands. I'm happy to do drop in visits as well and stay as long as you need. I am open to coming to your home and even staying overnight if needed. My home has a fenced backyard and is very pet friendly. We allow dogs on the sofa and in the bed. I Look forward to helping you with your fur baby.

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!

At this time I am not able to bring pets into my own home, but I am able to care for your pets in anyway needed at your home. I am able to have play time, take on walks, brush them/bathe them if needed.

About: I've raised and trained my own golden retriever from her raptor puppy phase through stubborn teenage moments into her goofy adult self. I treat every pup like they’re my own and I prioritize consistent updates with photos so you feel connected while you’re away. I want to provide a level of care like I would want for my own dog. I work afternoons and evenings, which gives me flexibility for morning check-ins. I’m also fully available on Sundays and Mondays. I am usually available for holidays as well. It's important to me to always follow the client’s instructions closely. I prioritize safety, consistency, and a calm environment. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific preferences or rules you provide. The more detailed your instructions, the better I can match the level of care you expect.

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!

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for every animal I care for. I’ve cared for many kinds of pets since childhood — from dogs and cats to birds, fish, otters, and even hatching quail. I truly enjoy connecting with these little ones, and I feel like I can understand them just by looking into their eyes. I love spending time playing with them, letting them enjoy the outdoors, and making sure they feel happy, secure, and loved while you’re away. I’m also gentle with senior pets, carefully giving medication and providing extra comfort when needed. I can do grooming as well. And as a special touch, I love taking beautiful photos of pets and can even draw a custom portrait of your dog. To me, pets aren’t just animals — they’re family. 💛 I work from home and have the flexibility to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a spacious backyard where they can safely enjoy sunshine, fresh air, and playtime whenever they want. I make sure to check on their needs several times a day, provide companionship, and keep them active. I also love taking dogs out for walks on nearby trails so they can explore, exercise, and enjoy nature. My goal is to make them feel comfortable, happy, and well cared When pets stay with me, they enjoy a safe, comfortable environment, plenty of attention, outdoor playtime in my spacious backyard, and regular walks. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and timely care throughout the day.

About: I do not remember a time where my family did not have dogs. I have been taking care of dogs since I can remember and currently have a dog of my own. She has been one of the best things that has happened to me and I wouldn't trade her for the world. I love dogs and would enjoy being around them all of the time. It sounds like the best job ever! It makes my day so much better when I come home to my dogs and I definitely understand how important dogs are and how much of a difference they can have in a persons life. Since I got a dog who I called my own I wouldn't trade her for the world. I have moved to a different state for school and unfortunately could not bring my dog with me. I would love to spend time with your fur babies and treat them as my own! I am currently going to school full time, therefore I have a pretty flexible schedule that will allow me to spend quality time with your pups! I am in an apartment with a balcony, but my apartment does have a “dog park on site” with some room to run and get some energy out.

About: I am a recently retired correctional officer. I have been a lifelong dog and cat owner as well as being fortunate enough to work with animals most of my life. As a current dog owner, I understand how hard it is to find someone you can trust to take care of your beloved family member. We have been in the same situation with our dogs. Now that I am retired, I am fortunate enough to be able to do what I Iove and offer a dependable, safe and pleasing experience to others. Though we are unable to board, I am happy to walk, feed and provide company for your loved ones. Overnight stays on a limited basis are also available. Older animals as well as medical conditions are no problem. I look forward to providing your pet with lots of love and care. I am retired. My schedule is very flexible including last minute appointments, if available, for walking and visits to your house. Available for overnight stays on a limited basis. I will meet with you and your family member to discuss your expectations and needs, as well as any medication, feeding/potty schedules, habits, likes/dislikes, triggers, what to watch our for (birds, squirrels,etc.), etc.

About: 🐾 Your Dog's Home Away From Home! 🐾 Hi there! I'm so happy you're here! I've been caring for dogs for over 13 years, and providing a safe, loving, and fun environment for every pup is something I truly enjoy. Whether your dog loves adventures, belly rubs, or simply relaxing in a cozy spot, I'll make sure they feel like part of the family while you're away. ✨ Every stay includes a complimentary Paw Spa experience! ✨ Because every pup deserves to be pampered, your furry friend will enjoy: 🛁 Relaxing bath time (if requested) 💆‍♀️ Gentle facial massage 🐾 Paw cleaning after walks 🧴 Moisturizing dog-safe balm for paws and elbows 👂 Ear cleaning using aloe vera, vet-certified ingredients 🌸 Dog-friendly cologne for a fresh, clean scent ✨ Daily brushing to keep coats healthy and tangle-free 🪥 Teeth brushing with delicious meat-flavored toothpaste 💅 Nail cleaning and maintenance (as tolerated) 🍯 Gentle facial wipes with honey-infused dog wipes Every stay also includes: 🦴 Complimentary Milk-Bones, Pup-Peroni, treats, and rewards throughout the day (with owner approval and dietary restrictions in mind). 🚶 Daily walks based on your dog's age, energy level, and mobility. 🌼 For pups who prefer staying close to home, we'll enjoy supervised playtime, games, and enrichment in my secure garden. ❤️ Plenty of cuddles, attention, and one-on-one affection. 📸 Daily photo and video updates so you'll never miss a tail wag or adorable moment!

About: I've taken care of animals since i was a child. From dogs to cats I've gained experience working, playing with and taking care of pet animals. Majority of my experience is with dogs of all sizes and breeds. Currently I am in the process of getting a full time job, so I'll be able to take care of your pups all day on my days off and before and after I work! I prefer to care for pets in their home where they are comfortable, in the exact way the client does when they take care of their pets. If the client has a set routine, then I'll follow it, otherwise I care for the pets by making sure they potty, eat food, playtime/go for a walk and clean any messes they may make.

I cannot recommend Paul enough! Watching my older pug, Baillee, with special needs was no easy task, but Paul was absolutely fantastic. He was patient, attentive, and followed every detail of her care perfectly. Getting daily photos and sweet updates put my mind at ease while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pug! If you need a sitter who truly loves and understands senior dogs, look no further!"

First time booking with Rover and with Kelly. Both experiences were excellent. I met Kelly before the booking. She is very personable and paid attention to my pets' needs. While we were out of town, she provided meaningful updates and asked clarifying questions as needed. I plan to check her availability for later this month.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Stafford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Stafford on Rover is $26.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 5,750 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Stafford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

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. 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Stafford. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
