“If I could rate Kayleigh higher than 5 stars I would. My pup has separation anxiety and this was my first time using Rover. I felt so reassured that he was in good hands with Kayleigh. He even made a new best friend, Nova (Kayleigh’s dog). She truly went above and beyond. We can’t wait for our future visits working with her!”

“We are glad Annie was able to come and let our dogs out again since they already know and like her. In addition to being a dog whisperer, she must have some sway over Mother Nature too b/c it rained all day today but stopped right before her two visits. Thank you for taking such good care of our fur babies!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have grown up with family pets. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to adapt to each dog’s personality and routine. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe and loved, especially when away from their family. ❌ Cat services unavailable (allergies) As an online student, I have a flexible schedule and can work around your needs. I keep my availability updated, including time reserved for school and finals. Your dog’s safety comes first. I follow your care instructions, observe behavior closely, and send updates so you know they’re doing well. I’m best suited for dogs with routine care needs and cannot provide extensive medical or specialized care. If you have any questions, please reach out!

“Heather was absolutely amazing. She arrived on time every day and ensured my cat baby had food and water. She even checked her litter and cleaned up when my cat threw up. I was so pleased with her! She also left me a lovely card that I so much appreciated. I would definitely work with Heather again in the future.”

About: My extensive experience in pet care includes a strong focus on providing attentive and nurturing care to animals of all ages. I have a particular knack for understanding and catering to the unique needs of senior pets, ensuring they receive the gentle care and attention they require. Additionally, I'm skilled in creating a comfortable and reassuring environment for pets, helping them feel safe and content while their owners are away! I am currently working part-time, which means I’ll have plenty of time for your fur baby! I do work some weekends so if chosen I will make sure I am 100% available! For boarding I am available whenever. We can message about a time that works for both of us! In both my home and my clients' homes, I prioritize the safety, trust, and comfort of every pet under my care. Safety measures are paramount, encompassing pet-proofing spaces, using gates or crates where necessary, and identifying and mitigating potential hazards such as cords or harmful plants. Building trust with pets is central to my approach; I establish routines that align with their habits and preferences, ensuring they feel secure and understood. This involves gentle handling, positive reinforcement, and consistent, compassionate care. Additionally, I strive to create a stimulating environment by incorporating regular walks, playtime, and enrichment activities tailored to each pet's individual needs. Maintaining a clean and tidy space is essential to their well-being, ensuring they thrive in a nurturing and enjoyable setting whether they're in my care at home or in yours!

“ABOVE AND BEYOND! I have never had a negative experience with anyone from Rover but was beyond happy with Hayden. He communicated well, is very clearly an animal lover and genuinely cares. Watched my Dog & Cat via multiple drop ins over the weekend. Last minute wanted to come home later and he allowed me to book one more check in. When i came home, i found 2 happy animals + an adorable card with handwritten note, polaroid's of both my babies and a special treat for my dog. He was the topic of conversation at work this week a lot because i had to show them what he left and how sweet it was. He puts so much effort into what may seem like an insignificant job to most, just checking on animals. FANTASTIC! WE LOVE HAYDEN!”

“I’m a repeat booker of Ranekqwa’s and I highly recommend her. Both of my fur babies are special cases, ones a feisty grump and the other is a ball of energy who is slow to warm up to new people. Ranekqwa was extremely patient with my baby who is slow to warm up. She showed up as scheduled, was communicative, and showed extreme care for my big baby. I would highly recommend her.”

Amanda was incredible and jumped in on a day when our planned care fell through! She picked Davy up, brought him to daycare, sent lots of photo and video updates, and dropped him back at home happy & worn out! Looking forward to future daycare days at her house

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Stanley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Stanley on Rover is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $22 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 5,211 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Stanley. 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.

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 Stanley 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!

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.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Stanley with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.

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.
