About: Hi! I’m Becca, a former veterinary assistant with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, sizes, and medical needs. I currently offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting, providing personalized care so your pets can stay comfortable and relaxed in their own home while you’re away. During visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, enrichment, medication administration (when needed), and plenty of love and attention. Every pet has a unique personality, so I tailor my care to match their routine and individual needs. My experience working in veterinary medicine has given me the knowledge and confidence to care for healthy pets as well as seniors, puppies and kittens, anxious pets, and those requiring medications or special care. I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or health and know when something may require prompt veterinary attention. I’ve also cared for multiple-pet households and understand the importance of keeping routines consistent to reduce stress. I’m currently a college student, which gives me a flexible schedule. I do my best to work around my classes and am available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. Whether you need occasional care or a consistent sitter, I’ll do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I take the time to learn about their personality, favorite activities, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions before every booking. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Communication is important to me, so I’ll send regular updates and photos throughout each visit to give you peace of mind. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own, keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’ll provide reliable, compassionate care so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in caring, experienced hands. I’m currently a college student, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits, and I do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs whenever possible. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule and preferences. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and litter box or potty routines to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. As a veterinary assistant, I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior or health and can provide medications if needed. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being while giving them plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection based on their personality. I’ll also respect your home as if it were my own, keeping everything clean and secure while providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m responsible, patient, and love spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving lots of attention. I’m also happy to follow specific routines and care instructions to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable!

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.
“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!”
About: Have taken care of everything from fish to lizards to cats to blind dogs. I love every animal and every animal seems to love me. I actively walk my two dogs and play with my outdoor cat . I am currently a high school student but summers I am completely free. I am on time and can work basically anytime as long as I get some notice. I have a fenced back yard with two loving dogs(Labrador and a Carolina dog. Have places to keep the dogs if needed and am capable of holding onto the biggest of dogs.
“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!”
“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 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.
“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!”
“Mandi was incredibly perfect for my family! I booked her for my parents while I was a few states away, and Mandi was awesome at communicating and setting up a visit with my parents! Their cat (was originally my cat, but my other cats would chase her) has a habit of grabbing her tail which leaves some minor scratches and requires some ointment application. Mandi applied it as needed and let us know when that was! She was also able to adjust her visits as my parents ended up leaving later than anticipated, and got back a day early. I would most certainly recommend Mandi for your pet sitting needs!”
“Hailey went above and beyond with my fur babies, showing lots of understanding, patience, and love during our absence. We will definitely be booking her again if we need someone to watch our girls (and she feels up for it because my girls did not make it easy on her at al 😭 I'm sorry again, Hailey!! You're an angel!! 😭❤️)”

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.

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
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.
