About: I've lived in a pet-owning family throughout my entire childhood. At one point or another, we owned a tank of fish, loads of different guinea pigs, two birds, and a dog. I am now a proud dog owner myself. I am currently working part-time and avilable week days mornings to have your fur baby (or babies) join my girl on our walks, or evenings to join us at a local dog park to burn off that energy before bed. Jinger loves doggie company, and I enjoy nature. For walks, Jinger and I would pick up your dog and either walk in your neighborhood or on nearby walking trails. If your dog does well with other dogs, there are multiple dog parks near me, which I have a good understanding of when the crowds are minimal, and Jinger loves doggie playmates. Apparently, I am too slow and boring.

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.

Ashly and my pets have bonded and she is my go-to sitter. My 2 cats know her and look forward to her visits. They know they’re gonna get lots of treats and playtime. Ashley is also very communicative. She lets us know what is going on. This last stay my heater went on the fritz and she let me know right away so that we were able to set up portable heaters. She takes lots of pictures. I trust her implicitly with my 2 fluff balls.

About: i’ve grown up with dogs all my life. I also have worked for a doggy day care as a kennel technician. While at colonial K9 I was responsible for playing, feeding, administering meds and cleaning up after dogs all of sizes and energy levels. My love for dogs makes it super easy to take care of them. I have two chocolate labs at home and i wouldn’t trade it for the world. With my prior knowledge and work with dogs I know exactly how to make sure a dog gets what they need to have a happy life. I make sure that they have enough time warm up and be their true dog-self!

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: Through volunteering at an animal shelter and caring for the pets of friends and family, I’ve gained experience caring for animals with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I believe consistency is one of the best ways to help pets feel at ease, so I do my best to maintain their regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions you provide. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages throughout each visit, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. In addition to caring for your pet, I’m happy to help with small household tasks, such as bringing in the mail, watering plants, or tidying up after your pet, to help make your return home as smooth as possible. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and providing the same level of care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m current in school virtually in the afternoons and work part-time closing shift. My general availability is from 9am - 4:30pm. If you need an earlier or later time for walking or care we can discuss as well!

Kayleigh was fantastic with our kitties! She was extremely communicative and let us know immediately about concerns with one of our older cats. We felt very comfortable leaving town and having our cats in the care of Kayleigh, and we wouldn’t hesitate to use her as a cat sitter in the future.

About: I have loved animals ever since I can remember. As I got older, I wanted to learn how to properly care for them. I volunteered at PetSmart for one year and cat/dog sat for any neighbor or friend that needed a helping hand. Due to family allergies, I didn't have pets of my own, so I continually sought out expereinces and advice that would help me learn those skills. In additon to my abundant pet care knowledge, 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 petcare details to a T, ensuring your dog is happy, healthy, and safe in my care. I am currently working a part time job Monday-Friday that has me working mornings until 12pm. Other than that, my schedule is wide open to care for your dog or cat in the afternoon and evening! 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!

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.
