About: "Looking for a sitter who truly speaks animal? I have spent my entire life caring for an incredible variety of pets, giving me the unique skills needed to handle almost any animal family. My experience includes giant dog breeds (English Mastiffs and Great Pyrenees), livestock (horses, chickens, and goat herds), and exotic reptiles. Today, I am a proud parent to a cat and two Holland Lop rabbits! Because I have lived alongside animals my whole life, I excel at reading their body language, vocal cues, and unique personalities. I am ready to provide a premium, loving, and safe environment for your babies!" I'm newly a father and am currently on paid family leave, and am available most days. My daily routine includes waking around 3am and getting the day started. I have several 2 hour blocks of time throughout my day that are not currently filled with any activities, perfect for caring for your pets! In My Home (Cat & Rabbit Friendly): Separate Zones: I maintain dedicated, safe zones for my resident cat and two Holland Lop rabbits to prevent stress. Exotic-Safe Space: My home environment is calm, secure, and adapted to handle specialized pet needs without disruption. Escorted Outdoor Time: Any outdoor access is strictly supervised within secure boundaries. In your home: Home Security: I strictly follow your home entry, locking, and alarm instructions to ensure property safety. Zero-Trace Care: I leave your home exactly as I found it, or better, cleaning up all pet waste immediately. Consistency: I mimic your exact feeding, walking, and crating schedules to minimize your pet's separation anxiety. Communication Expert: My lifetime of experience with giant breeds, livestock, and exotics means I actively read body language to prevent stress or conflict, and can quickly soothe an agitated pet. Daily Updates: I send frequent text and photo updates so you know your pets are safe, happy, and thriving. Emergency Ready: I keep your preferred vet information on hand and maintain a clear action plan for urgent situations, prioritizing your pets health above all else!
“Always wonderful with Fenway and me!!! We will be sad and miss her!! She is a wonderful person and anyone who is books her will be blessed!! Thanks Stephanie ❤️”
About: Hi! I’ve been a pet owner my entire life and caring for animals is truly second nature to me. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I also have medical care experience, so I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring pets closely, and giving extra attention to senior pets or those with special needs. In addition to pet sitting, I’ve spent time fostering and helping with rescue animals, which means I’m patient with shy, anxious, or newly adopted pets and understand how important routine and trust are. When your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, you can expect: • Lots of love, playtime, and attention • Regular photo and update messages 📸 • Care that follows your pet’s normal routine • A calm, safe, and reliable environment My goal is simple: make your pet feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I’ve been a pet owner my entire life. My days are structured around feeding times, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and companionship. I make it a priority to maintain each pet’s normal routine, whether that means scheduled walks, medication times, or quiet cuddle time. Because I have experience with foster and rescue animals, I’m also used to adjusting my schedule to meet different needs, from energetic pets who love activity to shy pets who need a calmer approach. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my week, and I always make sure pets in my care receive consistent attention, exercise, and regular updates to their owners so they know their pets are safe and happy. I have a larger, fenced yard for playtime a friendly pup who is always looking for a playmate as well as an old lady who loves nap buddies. I live in a quiet neighborhood that is ideal for walks because it is less traveled.
“Paige has been wonderful! She left great pictures and checked in on Cinna, who I can tell has been happy to have someone visit him while we have been gone. Very reliable and friendly!”
About: I have had animals all my life, and quite the variety!!! I am experienced in caring for cats, dogs, rabbits, reptiles, spiders, ferrets, etc! I have some horse experience as well, although I'm a little rusty, however, if you gave me a list I'd be sure to figure it out! I'm not afraid to ask questions, and I'm always making sure your furry friend(s) are handled with only the best care! I am very patient and observant, and I always try to stay calm in stressful situations. Currently I have open availability! I am spending my days with my babies and I am happy to take on some new furry friends to help out with! No worries if it's last minute, feel free to contact me and maybe we can work something out! I live in a nice neighborhood with plenty of sidewalks to walk on! I plan on taking your pup on plenty of walks outside, or maybe even to a near by dog park if permitted!!! When going outside for walks or to a park, I am always very aware of my surroundings. I always will make sure there is a limitless amount of water offered as well.
About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats from all walks of life and at all stages of life for the last twelve years! I am currently working part-time, so am flexible with scheduling for both weekdays and weekends during the day and evenings, as well! I am also available for overnight sitting. In my experience, each doggo and kitty has their own needs, which help them flourish best, so I abide by each fur baby’s routine and comfort level!
About: I have experience caring for cats and kittens at an animal hospital, where I was responsible for cleaning litter boxes, feeding, providing fresh water, and offering comfort and companionship. I’m also comfortable administering medications if needed. In addition, I’ve cared for my own cats over the years, and I truly adore them. I’m patient, attentive, and passionate about making sure every cat feels safe and loved I’m available every weekend as well as mondays and tuesdays! I’m also happy to work upon request—just let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly. I have the time and heart to care for and love on your furry friend! This is what I LOVE to do! I have one cat in my home that gets along with other cats and dogs! Pets are family and they deserve to be treated as such!
About: Reliable and caring pet lover with experience walking dogs and providing in-home pet sitting. Skilled in handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments, maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic care, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while owners are away. Strong communication skills, reliable transportation, and flexible availability. I am currently a nanny but I am not full time as of right now. I have a lot of free time to stop by and give your dog love and attention. I have a little 8 pound poodle who lives in my home with a big field for playing. I would just do in house visits and take your dog to the park (or whatever you are comfortable with). My house would not be open for play time with other dogs.
About: i've taken care of animals of all kinds my whole life from personal experience to holding jobs at doggy specific businesses! i've done it all from daycare/boarding to all natural and holistic feeding and care :) i currently work throughout the week/weekend but i'm very flexible on my days off as well as i could definitely take a walk or two after my work day is over, usually around 4pm or sooner :) i currently live out in the woods on a little bit of land with my fiancee and our 3 pups! they absolutely love their outside time but of course safety is of the most importance so our pups have been extensively trained off leash to avoid any wild life, potential dangers, and just to have amazing recall. i definitely understand though that this isn't the case for all pups and that's totally okay so when coming to care for your pup i'd take the most precaution to ensure everyone stays happy, healthy, and playing!
About: I've watched pets of family and friends since I was a kid and always enjoyed it. I always make sure to spend plenty of time and give them as much attention as they want. For dogs, I did walks, gave bathroom breaks, play time, cleaned up accidents, and fed them. For cats I'll do the same, except walks. I am available everyday for the foresable future, on the bright side that leaves me with no commitments where I won't be able to watch your pets For my own cats, I fill the water and food bowls daily, as well as clean the litter boxes. Throughout the day I provide them with affection or a warm lap/bed. For dogs I will make sure they're completely safe outside and watch for any other dogs or cars. Inside I will do the same with my cats.
About: Unfortunately, working and moving a lot. I cannot give the best life to my dog and cat anymore. I had to leave them with my brother but I would love to give some support to pet owners who are busy due to work and life. Monday to Friday after 6 pm. Weekends and holidays all day long. I love going for walks, feed them, or I have them over the weekend. I would love to give a house and take care of pets in my apartment. I live by myself, but I work a 9-5 job.
“Sydney did a great job. She came by a few days before to meet our dogs and learn their routine. The dogs were her friends right away. Communication during drop-ins was great. Sent us pictures of our happy dogs. We’ll definitely be calling on her again soon.”
About: I think one of the biggest things we owe to our dogs is to make sure their needs are well met! Whether they're a timid pup, an outgoing ball of energy, a 24/7 cuddlebug, or a dog who requires a lot of mental stimulation, I've got them covered. Let me treat your pets like I would my own! Best times for scheduling are: From 4pm on - Tuesday thru Thursday Flexible Availability - Mondays and Fridays Total Availability - Majority of Saturdays and Sundays I am comfortable working with your environment to keep your pet happy and safe! Whether that be with a combo harness/collar setup, a gated backyard, a favorite neighborhood, or even something as simple as puppy pads or gates, just communicate your needs!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stafford
I had a last-minute need for a sitter for my 2 special needs pups and Keith stepped-up to the plate. He was very patient with them, as they were a little hesitant at first since they are used to a different sitter. They warmed-up to him and were well cared-for, and I received lots of pictures and great updates. I will definitely select him again.
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!! ❤️

Before booking, confirm:

- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;

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.
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.

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 .
