“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.”
“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 grew in a household full of pets but large dogs to small and I’ve also had cats all my life. I’ve dealt with cats and dogs from every age and I’m more than excited to work with you and your fur baby! I’m currently working during the day but able to do anything during the evening/night. I can do overnight during the week especially if wifi is available for me to work from the home. On the weekends, I have no restrictions! Love , safety , and care are my top priorities. Positive training is how I interact. I will not be physically disciplining any pets but still will maintain control of the situation.
About: I worked in a vet clinic as a teenager. Very comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats. Can also care for other pets in household (fish,birds, rodents) I'm employed part-time and have a great deal of flexibility to adjust my hours to accommodate your pet's schedule and individual needs. I will adhere to my clients requests for their individual pets. All pets have their own personality and schedule, and being sensitive to that helps pets be less stressed when their owners are away.
About: I have been taking care of the animals of close friends and family since I was 19 years old. In addition to taking care of cats and dogs, I am also an experienced farm hand. I have taken care of horses, chickens, donkeys, and Alpacas. Whatever your pet needs are, I can do it. I am currently doing volunteer work on Tuesdays, but am available every other day of the week.

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.
“Ligia treated our pup like her own while we were away for the day! Her drop-in visit to our home was seamless, she was flexible and wanted to make sure she followed Scout's schedule - asked a ton of great questions to make that schedule possible! She was timely in answering my messages - will definitely book again! Highly recommend.”
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.

My home is calm and quiet so your animals will feel safe.

“Let me start this off by saying my animals are my babies and they are my world! From the moment this young lady walked into my home. I knew they would be in good hands! I have a house full. On this visit, Peyton was taking care of four cats and one very rambunctious dog. She handled it like a champ and my dog and my cats still look for her after her visit. I needed she was there, anything I needed to change Without batting and I she did it. She’s very warm, very loving and very responsible! My fur babies loved her! If you’re looking for someone That you can leave with your babies and not look back knowing that they are very well taken care of then definitely Peyton is your gal! We we’re gone for an extended period of time and I have never left my dog ever. Actually I don’t think she even noticed I was gone lol. We love Peyton and would love to put her in one of our suitcases and take her to Florida with us! Thank you sweetheart for doing an amazing job and I know five little fur babies that are going to miss you very much!

“Patricia was able to watch our pups with given a short notice due to our schedule changes. She was great with both our 10 year old heeler and our 6 month old heeler (who is a handful). Between her and myself, we have came up with a schedule where she agreed to stop by weekly to let our dogs out! Patricia was great and comes highly recommend!”
About: Growing up in a large Hispanic household with 10 family members, I was always surrounded by dogs and learned from a young age how to care for them with patience and love. After moving out, I continued caring for pets by walking and looking after my neighbors’ and family friends’ dogs whenever they needed help. I’m a huge animal lover and have always enjoyed spending time with pets. Growing up helping care for both my younger siblings and our family pets taught me to be responsible, dependable, and attentive to the needs of every dog I care for. I work Monday through Friday mornings, so I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet care in the afternoons and evenings. I’m also available most weekends and can provide reliable, attentive care. I always make time to ensure every pet gets the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep your pet safe, and provide plenty of love and attention. I’ll also send regular photo and text updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stafford
I can't thank Benjamin & Ariel enough for taking such wonderful care of my babies! It melts my heart that their kids got to be part of caring for the dogs—who absolutely love kids. The photos and updates were spot-on and always brought a smile to my face. Huge thanks to you both! If you’re a dog lover reading this, I highly recommend Benjamin & Ariel—you won’t be disappointed!
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.
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!
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

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.
