About: Through volunteering at an animal shelter and caring for the pets of friends and family, I’ve gained experience caring for animals with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I believe consistency is one of the best ways to help pets feel at ease, so I do my best to maintain their regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions you provide. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages throughout each visit, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. In addition to caring for your pet, I’m happy to help with small household tasks, such as bringing in the mail, watering plants, or tidying up after your pet, to help make your return home as smooth as possible. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and providing the same level of care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m current in school virtually in the afternoons and work part-time closing shift. My general availability is from 9am - 4:30pm. If you need an earlier or later time for walking or care we can discuss as well!

“We absolutely love Jazmyn!! We prefer to leave our dog home when we’re out of town because she gets anxious and Jazmyn always make sure she is taken care of… and then some! :). She has taken care out our dog through the holidays and even sat with her through thunderstorms! She always sends pictures and makes sure to play with her. Our dog is always smiling and calm when Jazmyn cares for her. Hands down the best dog sitter around!”
“Amber is the best! She takes wonderful care of my two English bulldogs and I always feel safe and comfortable having her in my home. My dogs adore her and I highly recommend her! 🐾”
“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!”
“Ashanti was so kind and flexible with our last-minute pet sitting request! She took time out of her holiday weekend to take care of our fur babies while we were gone, and she went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for. She was great with our pets, too. Our dog loved the extra attention!”
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.
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was 10. I hade my own childhood dogs that I was raising alongside myself. I have dog sit for multiple family friends, I have performed dog walking, feeding, for the local shelter in high school. And I recently got a pup myself that I have trained and have full responsibility for. I absolutely am a patient, loving, and careful dog person. I understand every dog is unique and require different forms of attention. I would love to help out in anyway I can, whether it be playing, feeding, bathing, walking, sitting. I am very flexible with my schedule! I am willing to to check in every couple hours or even walk in the mornings or evenings or midday. I care for pets based on the owners preferences. Dogs have a routine in their home and I try to follow that as best I can. This typically includes feeding , being let out, long walks(or short if that’s what your dog prefers) , play time.
About: I've grown up with dozens of pets at a time, often being the one to take care of all of them. I'm from the south originally, so being close to nature and animals have always been something I prioritize and am grateful to have done. Friends and family have always asked me to take care of any animals that have ever needed it. From things like cats and dogs, rabbits, chickens, birds, fish, etc. A daily routine! I love pets and taking care of other things is genuinely a coping mechanism for me. To spend every minute of my day taking care of an animal would be something I'd love to do. I'm a very empathetic and patient person with everyone and everything. I believe that animals and pets have their own personality, and I think that it's the most important to know what the owner wants practiced with their animal first and foremost. I'm a very attentive and attached person though, and would never let something stray away from my attention.
About: I have cared for a variety of animals from dogs to horses to chickens. I have experience handling detailed diets, medications and any other required care instructions. I am more than happy to tend to any of your pets possible needs. My goal is to give you peace of mind while your away and your pet all the love I can give till you get back. I am currently working as a hairstylist at a local salon, so I am able to easily care for your pet throughout the week and weekends around my schedule. I am here for you. Your home is your domain, I am simply there to care for your pet. I am completely comfortable being recorded on camera or sending daily updates of your pet. Whatever you need to feel safe about having me enter your home I am more than happy to abide by any and all rules or requests you may have.
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.
“I'm glad I found Ligia to take care of Elsie, she's so caring and helpful and Elsie loves to see her come take care of her. Thanks for your help and care for my dog!”
“Caitlyn was absolutely amazing! She stepped in on very short notice to watch and walk Echo over the last two days, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure Echo was happy and well taken care of. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I truly appreciate her flexibility and willingness to help on short notice. I would absolutely book with Caitlyn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter or dog walker!”

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!! ❤️
Zack was AMAZING!! He answered any questions/concerns I had with care and took excellent care of my fur babies. I have never used a sitter service before, so I was cautious and a bit nervous, but his attentiveness with my animals, had me worry-free on my whole vacation. Felt like I was leaving them with a trusted friend. I highly recommend him if you need a sitter. 100000/10
Rosemary took wonderful care of our 3 dogs that vary in age and needs. We have one senior dog, and two with a lot of energy. After every visit we received a write up of what she did for the dog's and pictures of them playing outside. It was comforting to know that our dogs were being well cared for while we were away. Rosemary is an amazing pet sitter and I definitely would recommend her to care for your pets while you are away!

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 .

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.
