“Sammy cared for our pets several full days and nailed their routines and playtime. She texted updates and sent pics regularly. Our dog and cat are quite needy and Sammy made them feel secure and happy. We felt relieved and assured they were in great hands, and she willingly took care of minor home issues that came up. Her experience and love for pets - both dogs and cats, was evident.”
“Annie was so wonderful with Sunny -- giving lots of love and keeping us up-to-date with photos and messages. It was our first time away from Sunny and Annie made it easy. Thank you!!!”
About: I absolutely love all animals (as you can see) of all shapes and sizes. Im okay with an energy filled afternoon, or a calm one, how ever your furry friend is feeling. I have 12 years of experience training puppies and taking care of senior animals through my own family and friends. I dont live without my phone so there’s no worries about not being able to reach me. You can call or text at anytime and I will respond almost immediately. Thanks for your consideration! Jared I’m currently very flexible with my schedule and can take on-demand appointment drop offs, walks, play-times, overnight stays, etc. I take same day cancellation should an emergency happen. Visiting your home I will be very attentive to your pet and make sure all furniture and flooring is clean and pee free. No chewing furniture on my watch also. I have a yard and multiple dog parks nearby, as well as long walks, to keep your dog occupied. My dog gets along well with others, even cats.
“Jaclyn is amazing! She went above and beyond to help out with a last minute request after losing our regular sitter. She took amazing care of Rory, and was really respectful of our home — everything was so clean I almost didn’t believe she stayed here! Lol She was easy to communicate with, responsive, and flexible, which made everything feel really easy and stress-free. Most importantly, our dog was happy and well cared for. We’ve found our new sitter!”
“Linda is absolutely fabulous! She house sat for my two dogs, one of whom has special needs and requires medication. She kept me updated and send pictures throughout the stay. I was able to truly relax and enjoy my time away knowing they were well taken care of and happy! She was also very respectful while in my home, keeping it clean, watering the plants, and even changing the sheets. I would highly recommend booking Linda as your pet sitter. I plan to continue to utilize her services. However the review that truly matters is your dog’s opinion. When they go crazy with tail wags and kisses for your sitter, like they did for Linda, that’s a really good person!”
“Jonathan did an exceptional job dog-sitting and house-sitting for us for a full week. He was incredibly conscientious and highly communicative, sending regular updates and adorable pictures. Our dog absolutely adored him, and Jonathan took such great care of our home that we barely noticed he was there—yet we returned to a spotless house. We highly recommend him without hesitation.”
“Ruth took excellent care of our two dogs while we were out of town. She kept us up to date with texts and messages which I really appreciate! She even taught our younger dog a new trick! Will definitely book again and highly recommend!”
“Sarah is a FANTASTIC dog sitter! I knew when I met her that she’d be a perfect fit. She was kind and gentle with my dog, and brought a clipboard with questions which just showed how serious she was about giving the best care to my pup. During the stay I got lots of updates and cute photos and I could tell that my dog was so happy, got lots of exercise, and was very adequately snuggled ?? I will definitely book Sarah again. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Molly was wonderful with our high needs elderly dog. Molly was communicative, responsive, and sent many updates and photos throughout the day. We hope to have Molly watch our dog again and highly recommend Molly to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Feeling certain that I have found a perfect solution to my dog care needs. I’ve been working with Rebecca for a little more than a month. She has done a number of walks with Odin and built such a trusting rapport with him. This past weekend, she watched him while at my house while I traveled. There was constant communication throughout and it appeared that Odin was very much taken care of and spoiled all weekend. I also felt that Rebecca respected my home - which meant a lot to me. Everything was as clean (or cleaner) than I left it. That meant a lot to me. I can only give my highest recommendation for Rebecca. If you’re considering it, contact her. It’s the right decision and she is the right person. Thank you again, Rebecca!”
“Julie was amazingly flexible, as our schedule was unknown, and was there when we needed her. More importantly, she was good with Ricky, took him out for walks as well as for his sanitary needs, and kept us regularly informed, with pictures. If we are in the area again we will seek her to assist us, and Ricky, again.”
“Kayla stayed at our house for a week with our 2 dogs and she did an excellent job. We highly recommend her for any of your needs with babysitting your animals when you’re thinking of getting away. We will definitely be using Kayla in the future.”
“Our pets and home were well taken care of with Shannon! In the past we had difficulty finding someone who actually offers house sitting, and we felt so much more comfortable on this trip knowing our pets were in good hands and never alone for too long. Her updates gave us peace of mind while we were out of the country. We came home to a tidy house and happy pets. 🐾”
“I was hesitant to have a near stranger stay with my fur babies for 6 days (including overnights) and am beyond thrilled with my experience with Lisa! She came twice to meet/visit before my trip and I knew she right away she was “Good People”! I received updates, photos and videos everyday. I would give her a hundred stars if I could! Thank you to Lisa (& Rover) 🐾”
About: My veterinary assistant experience with small and large animals sets me apart as I keep a close eye on your animal’s health and well-being. I am not easily spooked, but I want your pet to receive the best care I can give. I am not a trainer, but I am comfortable dealing with some pets with behavioral issues. I want to create the safest and most comfortable environment for your pet, your sanity and myself! I currently work four days a week and have a three day weekend. I am looking to pet sit for people who are going on a short trip or need routine weekend care. I can be flexible with week nights, but it will need to be established well in advance. I am looking to house sit in the owners residence. My cats would not be happy to have any new comers to our family. I am very punctual with breakfast and dinner time, and I am typically one to spend time wherever the pet would like to whether that be indoors or outdoors!
“She was amazing with our dog Stella! Took such great care of her and made sure she got plenty of love and attention. Stella got to go on rides and even a hike, which she absolutely loved. It was such a relief knowing she was in great hands. We’d definitely book again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Stafford Springs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Stafford Springs on Rover is $50.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,089 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stafford Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Stafford Springs walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Stafford Springs maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Springs 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Stafford Springs. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
