About: I’ve been caring for my own animals since childhood and grew up with big dogs. Today I share my life with an 80-pound hound mix and a Velcro cat. I’m naturally empathetic, reliable, and genuinely happiest when caring for animals. Your pets will always have my full attention, and I make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including energetic puppies and gentle seniors. I adapt easily to different personalities and routines, whether that means patience, structure, or extra affection. Got a dog who pulls on the leash? I’ve got you. Got a cat who needs a little extra love and reassurance? I’ve got that covered too. I’m here for all your needs. I do work a typical 8-4 job with other hobbies of mine. But I’m open on weekends and nights! Weekends are pretty open both Saturday and Sunday. Nights I’m available for walks and drop ins after 5pm! I have a fenced in yard. However I am going to prefer to come to your house. My dog is a queen and would rather me not bring home dogs. Lol.
“Jaylene did a fabulous job. She took her time with my dog especially cause my dogs a little chicken. She had no problems taking her outside and was even able to out her sweatshirt on her. She kept me updated and I was very impressed highly recommend.”
“Liv was absolutely fantastic with my big boy! He cried at windows when she left and he hasn't done that with anyone but me. She actually played with him when she was over and he was SO happy and relaxed after she left. I will most definitely be using her again when I need pet care again!”
“would like to sincerely thank Kathryn for the wonderful care she has given to Rocky Duke and for overseeing Blair. She is a genuinely caring, trustworthy, and dependable person who always goes above and beyond. Knowing they were in her care gave me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend Kathryn to anyone looking for someone compassionate, reliable, and dedicated. Thank you, Kathryn, for everything you did for my babies.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since my early 20s. I began fostering dogs in my early 30s and even had some foster failures. I have always been that friend, neighbor, stranger that will stop and help and animal in need or just stop the world to say hi to a four legged love ! I have full open availability! I am a teacher and am home during the summer so I can meet most needs. I am also willing to travel to help a pup in need. I prefer to board at home and I have two small pups at home, Eli and Gidget. Eli is a 12 year old Havanese and Gidget is a 2 year old Brug. They are sweet and get along with all animals and people.
About: I’m a registered nurse, Wife, Mom to 2 boys and a Beagle! 🤪 so I can basically handle it 💜 with a special touch of Love & Care. I’ve always loved dogs, growing up my dad raised all breeds of dogs (Havanese, Pitbull, Cocker spaniel..) caring for them throughout the years has taught me so much ! Thankfully as an RN, I have a flexible work schedule. Making it easy to add something I have always wanted to do in my spare time, DOGWALK! Please note my family is very dog friendly, but it will be just me walking and caring for pups 💛 We have Freddy our Beagle who is 2years Old and FULL OF ENERGY!! 🐶 He has taught me soo much, especially how some dogs get distracted so quickly. With me as a dogwalker, Safety is Always First!
About: Taken care of my own cats for 6 years. Work at a shelter caring for different breeds of cats. Attentive to the needs of cats. Daytime hours are best and weekend hours are available. Many flexbile time slots throughout the day, especially if short blocks of time are also needed. I follow all directions from clients, very cognizant of locating any potential dangers to safeguard the animal. Punctual with time sensitive activities and needs of the animals.
“Emily did a fantastic job dropping in for my cat Mika while I was away. She made sure to send me daily updates and pictures with how Mika was doing. Mika is typically hides while visitors are in the house, but over they days she warmed up to Emily and gladly accepted treats. I will most certainly use Emily again to watch over Mika.”
“This was my first time using Lana. She is fantastic. Punctual, attentive, responsive and informative to my pet visits. She is highly recommended. I utilized her services over a long weekend during my daughters wedding. She sent prompt texts and emails on each visit. Thank you Lana! Well done.”
“My dog Onyx looked forward to his walks and play time with Giselle. She arrived timely and followed instructions well. She came to my home twice a day for two days straight and she was great. She really came through in a pinch! Will use her services again without a doubt!”
About: I have love and deep respect for animals, my experience is based on taking care of both dogs and cats and nothing would make me happier than having the opportunity to make income doing what I like. I am willing to take care of any kind of pets, always open to suggestions and to improve every day more. My house does not have a closed yard but I am extremely careful to avoid any incidents, I live near a lake so we can have very pleasant walks. I am at home full time so I can stay with them and give them excellent quality time. Play, time to pee and poop and just walk. My yard is open, I am extremely careful and I always walk on a leash. My Labrador is very playful and loves dog company 😍
About: I’ve grown up with Beagles and work well with all breeds and ages. I strongly believe that every dog deserves a day out on the town (or maybe just a walk around it). I’m free most weekends and various times during the day. I can do early mornings or late nights, happy to spend time with any dog throughout the day. I knock and ring the doorbell always first, just so the dogs know I’m coming (if they don’t already), walk in, greet everyone and wish the dogs a good morning, feed and water them, then let them have their breakfast and take them on a walk afterwards, always making sure to clean up after them when I first get there and definitely before I leave.

Jaylene took wonderful care of our boys while we were away. She did an excellent job sorting out the different schedules and behaviors of our very different cats. She made sure the litter boxes were clean and even vacuumed up the litter that was on the floor near the boxes. We received lots of cute photos of the boys and prompt texts with updates. We were able to enjoy our time away with the knowledge our babies were in good hands!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Stanhope on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,559 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Stanhope. 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 Stanhope 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 Stanhope. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
