“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.”

About: What sets me apart is my patience, consistency, and genuine love for animals —I focus on making them feel secure, understood, and cared for just like they’re my own. I'm new to Rover as I'm sure my profile shows lol However, Im able to show reviews & plenty of pet love I've given thus far 🥰 This job is equally as enjoyable for mee as the beautiful fur babies ❤️ (maybe more) Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around my bookings to make sure each pet gets consistent attention, care, and reliability. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or boarding, I build my day with their needs in mind so I can provide dependable, stress-free care I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent as possible, whether in my home or the client’s home. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable by following their normal feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions, while also giving them plenty of attention and affection.

“Sammy stayed at our home with our Frenchies for 2 nights. Our little ones usually suffer from a fair amount of anxiety, but they felt very comfortable with her. When we got home the house was just as we left it and the dogs were very content. Sammy communicated regularly while we were away and that allowed us to really enjoy our weekend. She is very competent, conscientious and excellent with the dogs. We will definitely contact her next time and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for the best in a dog sitter.”

About: Hi! I’m Amanda—a lifelong animal lover, BCBA by day, and your pet’s new favorite human by night! 🐾 Whether your pup needs belly rubs and a brisk walk or your cat just wants a cozy companion, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. As a full-time educator, I know how important consistency, safety, and connection are—yes, even for our four-legged friends! I bring that same gentle, attentive energy to every visit and walk. ✅ Available for drop-in visits, dog walks and companionship ✅ Experienced with different sizes and temperaments ✅ Patient, playful, and calm energy ✅ Happy to support feeding, litter cleanup, and routines ✅ Updates and photos every visit for your peace of mind Let’s chat—I’d love to meet your furry family member! As a BCBA working in the school system, I am currently off for the summer, so my availability is wide open. In the fall I will work regular school hours 7:30-2:30pm 4 days/ week. During the week I am available for afternoon and early evening visits. On the weekends my availability is open! I build in dedicated time for each visit to ensure I’m never rushed, and every pet gets my full attention. I care for pets in their own home with the same respect and attentiveness I would offer in my own. I follow all provided instructions closely—whether that includes feeding schedules, medication, preferred walking routes, or favorite toys—and I always take time to observe how each pet is feeling that day and send updates and pictures. During drop-in visits, I offer gentle, calm energy and prioritize connection so your pet feels safe and seen. I’ll make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and get affection or playtime based on their needs and personality. On walks, I stay alert and keep pets secure while still giving them time to sniff, explore, and enjoy the moment. I will always leave your home just as I found it—or even a little better. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel completely at ease while we’re on our routine together

About: I've taken care of every kind of animal. Dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters. I've also administered medication of many kinds and I am certified in Domestic cat + dog first Aid and CPR. All animals deserve love and care no matter how big or small! I am currently working part-time during the weekdays and on weekends in the late evening. My weekend available will change to be fully available after October. Either way, your pets are my first priority! Not all of my animals get along- I have an intricate schedule of alternating my cats and dog to make sure there are no fights or stressing factors. But there is always playtime for all the animals!

“Lila was a great sitter for Minnie. My very anxious “baby” took to Lila very quickly and that is not her norm, so I felt very comfortable leaving them together. Lila communicated and kept in touch well. She was very respectful of my home and even left a cute doggie thank you note. Minnie seemed to love her and I know this because often when I get home Minnie us sitting by the door waiting. She was sleeping in the living room and much calmer than my usual returns. I recommend Lila as responsive, responsible, and respectful. Thank you!!!”

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.”

She kept us informed of how things were going, and the house looks like she wasn't even here ( with the exception that she cleaned the litter boxes and took out the trash even though we didn't ask her to do so). Will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I love animals, especially dogs and cats. I had two Pekingese dogs when I was younger, they lived until 16 yrs old. A few years ago my family adopted a Border collie/lab mix. Benson is so energetic and loves to go on mile long walks. My husband and I also have a Labrador retriever, he loves to go on walks but more so to the dog park so we do frequent there. This past Christmas we also added a new addition to the family, Mikey, our hyperactive and fun labradoodle. He’s still a puppy but he’s definitely good at keeping us on our toes especially his older brother Jordey! I also have my own personal experience with dogs, Ive been walking/caring for others’ pets since 2017. I love it so much, meeting new dogs, all breeds, sizes and ages. I would love nothing more than to make your pet feel loved, safe and nurtured whether you just may be at work or away on a trip! But I’m pretty flexible so feel free to message me even if it’s outside these times and maybe I can squeeze your furbaby into my schedule! I always tell my clients to feel free to leave me a note or list of things they’d love for me to follow. Can be any special dietary needs or structure they need me to follow.

“Shannon is OUTSTANDING! My rescue, Skye, is tentative around new people, but connected with Shannon from the very beginning. I have NO worries when she sits for Skye! Sitting has been a daily drop in, to a week away. She is caring, reliable, communicates well. I hate to give her a stellar review, because other people will want her. Highly recommend!”

About: I have over 2 years of dog sitting experience and currently work full time at a doggy daycare, caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m experienced with feeding routines, exercise, and group play, and I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I work full time, five days a week, as an opener at The Mellow Mutt, with typical 6-hour shifts. My schedule can occasionally shift, so a bit of flexibility is helpful, but I do my best to keep things consistent for pet owners. I’m also a full-time online student at SNHU, which allows me to stay flexible and available for house sitting needs. I usually work Wednesday afternoons and most of the day Sunday, and my only consistent day off is Saturday, making me available for extended stays and attentive overnight care. While staying in your home, I focus on keeping your dog’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I stick closely to their feeding, walking, and play schedules, and make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I’m very attentive to their behavior and comfort, so I can quickly adjust to their needs and help them feel safe while you’re away. I also keep your home clean and respected, and I’m happy to provide updates so you can feel at ease knowing your dog is well cared for.

FAQs for House Sitting - Staffordville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,191 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Staffordville. 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 Staffordville 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 Staffordville 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Staffordville 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 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.

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

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
