“They were absolutely amazing. I just moved to the area from Texas and had to travel to Colorado for my niece’s birthday, but couldn’t bring my dog. My usual pet sitter is back in Texas, so I was unexpectedly without pet care. When the dates of my trip changed, they were generous and flexible enough to watch Scooby a little longer. Scooby normally takes a while to warm up to new people and can be particularly hesitant around men, but he bonded with them incredibly quickly. They truly exceeded my expectations. I will absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and wonderful with pets.”
About: I’ve had the privilege to be a friend to many furr babies. I love to hang out with dogs and spend time at the dog park. I have a lot of love for the babies Very flexible at the moment. Don’t hesitate to reach out to see if I’m available last minute! Weekends are here and there but it never hurts to ask! I have a fenced in yard and live 1 mile from a dog park which I frequent. I have 2 dogs of my own who get along with others very well! If needed, crates are available. There are endless toy options for everyone! I struggle with trust in someone who’s looking after my babies when I’m not with them. I want to provide the ease of mind while caring for your babies when you’re not.
“Keith was incredible with my animals! One of my dogs requires some time to warm up and I was able to tell by his pictures that was patient and let her warm up on her terms. He followed what I asked, kept me informed, and my house felt like how I left it. So thankful for his care and would definitely book with him again!”
“Exceptional Pet Sitter! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amanda was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she was incredibly sweet, helpful, and highly responsive. Her communication was perfect throughout the entire stay—she kept me constantly updated, asked great questions to ensure Winnie had everything she needed, and went above and beyond by asking if there was anything else she could help with around the house. The photos she sent on a regular basis brought so much peace of mind. It’s clear she truly cares about the animals she watches. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and I will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you, Amanda! Highly recommended!”
“Allie went above and beyond for my bunnies. They were very mischievous, getting out of their enclosure. I wouldn’t have trusted anyone more! This was my first time using any sort of drop in service and Allie did not disappoint! I really appreciated that she wanted to meet first and made sure I was comfortable with everything. I will use her services again and I recommend her to anyone who needs a caring, trustworthy person to check on your pets!”
About: I have experience with animals who require both physical and medical challenges. I have nearly 15 years of experience with dog boarding in my home. I'm currently working part time (4 hours a day) so I can still care for your animal needs in my home with no problem. I have a fenced in yard so your dog can play freely but is still protected. My home is calm and quiet so your animals will feel safe.
“Paula was amazing with our animals and her communication was excellent. It’s obvious she’s very comfortable with pet care, easing my mind so I could enjoy my vacation. We will definitely use her for future pet sitting!”
About: I’ve had experience with dogs and cats of all sizes of my own and of friends throughout my childhood. (I love animals!) I’m willing to sit your pet to the best I can and to your comfort! I am a recent high school graduate and currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I am especially available during weekday afternoons and evenings, as well as most weekends when needed. Before starting college, I have the availability to provide reliable attention, and companionship for pets based on your needs and routines! I helped care for our family dog, Mickey who was really old and unwell resulting in his passing under a year ago. I was responsible for taking him on walks, feeding him on a consistent schedule, and giving him any supplements or special care he needed. I have also helped care for other dogs by taking them outside for potty breaks, providing exercise and playtime, giving baths when needed, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared.
“Lina is amazing and took great care of my pets! She responded quickly and made sure to check in with me about what my cat and dog needed before the visit. She is amazing, highly recommend.”
“Chris is the absolute best! Our dogs are always so excited to see Chris and we always come home to happy pups. He also takes tons of pictures and is super communicative. This isn’t the first time he’s come to look after our dogs and it certainly won’t be the last.”
About: Hello! My pet-care experience consists of growing up with all sorts of 4 legged friends. I currently am a Dog trainer and a Veterinary Assistant. Beforehand I use to work for A well known pet store company dealing with small animals as well. Family friends, neighbors, and even clientele have all relied upon my help when needed. Whether it was a simple walk or help raising a new born, I would be your team player. I work during the evening only Part-time so I’d be with your furry child pretty much all day. I have a lot flexibility with my schedule. I attend to my pets first thing every morning and night. They go for a walk regardless of the weather, and come back for breakfast and play. Afterwards they pretty much relax throughout the day sometimes out back or on my bed. If im at a clients home then I guarantee nothing will go wrong, directions will be followed to a T.

Chris is the absolute best! Our dogs are always so excited to see Chris and we always come home to happy pups. He also takes tons of pictures and is super communicative. This isn’t the first time he’s come to look after our dogs and it certainly won’t be the last.
We love Samantha! My husband and I work a lot so we usually end up booking Samantha 3-5 times per month. Our dogs (and cats) love her and I never worry about their well being when I know she’s coming over. She’s very flexible with scheduling which is amazing when I need her last minute (usually the case). The check ins are a huge plus!
Ashley did a fantastic job taking care of our senior cat and strong-willed beagle! She communicated with me in a very timely manner and provided great details about her visits. It was nice to not have to worry about how they were doing while we were away for the evening.
Bethany took excellent care of my dogs! She was able to effortlessly take care of each dogs’ particular needs and was very accommodating of all their special instructions. She was also very communicative and punctual. I would absolutely recommend Bethany and plan to use her again in the future!
Alyssa is fantastic!! She has watched our babies a couple of times now. Last time she did a drop in visit and came into our smoke detector beeping because of low battery along with some on edge pups. She texted us and then changed the batteries so the puppies would be comfortable waiting on us to return. That to me was true dedication and professionalism putting our babies first. Thank you Alyssa!!!
Joni was absolutely amazing. My day Chuey loves her and had a great time with her. Joni took lots of picture and provided updates during every visit. It was wonderful to see my baby taken such great care of during our vacation. Joni is just the sweetest and caring person. She definitely went above and beyond. Because of this, we feel such a close bond with Joni and will continue to use her when we go out of town. What a consummate professional!
Very attentive and understanding! We had some last minute changes to our schedule and she was able to accommodate no problem! Our pet had an upset and had a couple of accidents in the home and she had no problem with cleaning and ensuring our pet was a clean space. Forever thankful!
Ambar was absolutely amazing!!! I had a last minute request and she helped me out big time! We did a meet and greet first and FiFi loved her!! I knew she was going to be taken care of just like I would care for her! I will absolutely be rebooking with Ambar and you should too!! ❤️

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 .

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.
