About: We have had dogs throughout both our lives and we work together to make sure your fur babies are cared for and have a great time when you can’t be around. We have a dog and a cat at home and three boys so you can imagine it is always an exciting and noisy time in our house. We love going on walks and hikes and all around being outside. We look forward to caring for your puppers and making sure they have a good time while you are away so you don’t need to worry while you are away. Interacting with dogs is always about comfort for them. So we find slow introductions for the first encounter are the way to go and after a good outing or play session around the house or neighborhood, the dog looks forward to the visits as they view it as social time.

About: I have a love for animals that has driven me to seek out experiences and advice that has helped me gain an abundance of pet care knowledge, despite growing up without any furry friends. I am a young and active person, able to keep up with the most energetic of dogs. I am also quite detail-oriented, and will follow your pet care details to a T, ensuring your pet is happy, healthy, and safe in my care. I am a college student home for the summer, meaning I am able to care for your pet morning, afternoon, or evening! If I am unable to do so, I will ensure to respond to your message promptly. I will not be able to let your pet into my own home due to some of my family members having allergies. In your home, I will remain respectful of your space and follow any given care instructions perfectly to ensure a happy and healthy pet!

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: 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.

About: I’ve been a dog lover from a very young age! My very first job as a teenager was working as a kennel attendant at a local veterinary hospital. I have cared for several family dogs over the years, and am an active volunteer at a local humane society! I know your pet means so much to you, and I want to provide the best care in a fun and safe environment! Will send updates and photos, as many as you’d like!😊 I am currently working full time during the week, but have a variable schedule based on the day for walks, outings, and feedings! On the weekends I am also available for overnight boarding to care for your furry friends while you’re away! I have a fenced in yard that is perfect for playtime, perfect for running around and getting out some energy! I have two cats who are able to be kept in a separate room if preferred, but they are sweet and generally don’t mind company! I have one small-medium sized dog crate available to use if you don’t want the hassle of bringing your own as well. I would love for your furry friend to be able to wander around the house with supervision, or remain crated with potty breaks, based on your preference!

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!

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!

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!!!

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

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Stafford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Stafford on Rover is $18.19 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 4,578 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Stafford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Stafford. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
