“Ashley was very attentive and patient with our cat, Boo. Her feedback went above and beyond making us feel better about leaving Boo at home. We loved the detailed reports of each drop in and the extra pictures. We would highly recommend Ashley's pet sitting and will reach out to her again in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m Becca, a 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.

About: I’ve always had a dog growing up. Dogs are life companions! I’ve taken care after my own dogs of course and family members as well. I’m the first person they call to see if I’m available to watch over their fur babies. I tend to make friends with dogs at a function quicker than I do with humans. I take care after my own animals through sickness and health and try to give them the world. They deserve the best! I am free during the week and weekend. Reach out at anytime and we can work out whatever you need for your fur baby/babies. I take care of any fur baby as if they are my own ! Depending on the owners wants and needs for their pup I will always do my best to do what they want for them.

“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.”
“Sky was an amazing cat sitter! I was nervous about leaving my kitten for the first time but felt so assured knowing my cats were in such good hands. Sky went above and beyond to care for my pets and I am so grateful!”
“Laurie is awesome. She was able to handle our four hooligans wonderfully as well as our bonus lizards. She’s extremely communicative and very dependable. I’d definitely recommend to others looking for someone to watch their four legged friends.”
“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’ve been working with pets ever since I was 12 walking them feeding them and taking care of them. I love taking care of pets no matter if it’s cats or dogs I love them all. I am currently working part-time and also a part-time student but I love being outside and going on walks with dogs and taking care of cats just by stopping. I have a pretty decent backyard that is fully gated off and I have two amazing and playful dogs yo-yo and Scooby. They are the cutest dogs ever and another small little furball named Cleo and she is just so adorable.
“Justin was the BEST!! And super easy to work with! The meet and greet went great and I knew our dogs would be in great hands during the drop in visits! Outstanding communication! Definitely will be booking Justin for any future drop in visits we may need!!”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stafford
I had a last-minute need for a sitter for my 2 special needs pups and Keith stepped-up to the plate. He was very patient with them, as they were a little hesitant at first since they are used to a different sitter. They warmed-up to him and were well cared-for, and I received lots of pictures and great updates. I will definitely select him again.
Chris is the absolute best! Our dogs are always so excited to see Chris and we always come home to happy pups. He also takes tons of pictures and is super communicative. This isn’t the first time he’s come to look after our dogs and it certainly won’t be the last.
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.
Great sitter! She was very flexible with scheduling, responded quickly, and was able to accommodate my booking on short notice. I really appreciated the fast communication and felt comfortable knowing my two cats were being checked on during her drop-in visits (one needing medication). I would definitely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Stafford is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,386 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Stafford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
