“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 owned and cared for various pets throughout my life including dogs, cats, snakes, and rodents. I currently own a cat and a boa constrictor. I'm a stay at home mom so I'm available during the day while my two older kids are in school. My youngest will accompany me in caring for pets. I will walk your dog as needed with a secure leash and diligently follow any and all instructions you have left for your pets care.
“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!”
“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!”
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'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 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 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.
“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!”
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.
“Ligia has been caring for our six cats for several months, for one to two weeks at a time. She is attentive to them and ensures that any messes are promptly cleaned up. She also brings in mail and will water the flowers. We are very happy with her services and highly recommend her to all our friends and neighbors.”
About: I bring a combination of reliability, patience, and genuine love for dogs that sets me apart from other sitters. As a military veteran, I’m disciplined and detail-oriented, which means I follow routines closely, keep pets safe, and provide consistent care you can trust. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they are staying in my home or I am caring for them in their own environment. If a dog is staying in my home, I maintain a calm, structured environment with regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of attention. I try to keep their routine as close as possible to what they’re used to so they feel relaxed and secure. Dogs will always have a clean, safe space to rest and will be supervised to ensure their safety. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the owner’s instructions and the dog’s normal routine. I make sure feeding schedules, exercise, medications (if needed), and potty breaks are followed closely. I also provide updates so owners know their pet is doing well. When caring for pets, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. If a dog is staying in my home, they’ll have a calm and safe environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I make sure they get regular walks, bathroom breaks, and time to relax so they feel at home.

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.
