Sierra was so great with Dixie and an amazing pet sitter. She went above and beyond and followed all instructions. She was very attentive and flexible which I appreciated. I could tell Dixie enjoyed the time with her, especially after the walks! Would 10/10 book again and highly recommend to anyone needing a sitter.

Carmen did a great job with our cats while we were out of town. She did two drop-in visits, and the cats were in good spirits when we returned. We will absolutely book her again if the need arises.

Jen is amazing. We felt instantly at ease upon meeting her prior to this weekend’s check-ins with our dog. She was very communicative and spent more time and care than was expected. She’s a rare one, and we look forward to reaching out to her in the future. Many thanks, and see you soon!

About: I’ve gained a lot of experience and love from having dogs my whole life. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, so I understand that every animal has their own needs and routine. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ll treat your animal with the same care, attention, and love I would give my own. I’m currently working part-time so I still have plenty of time even the days I work throughout the day to take care of your furry friends! I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats, so I’m very comfortable caring for multiple pets and making sure each one gets the attention and care they need. I always follow their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while respecting their home and their usual routine

About: For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a love for animals. I’d love to use that passion to help others when they need it! I’m currently freelancing in digital services, so my schedule is flexible and can accommodate many of your scheduling needs! I work from home every day and have reliable transportation as well. I have a very walkable neighborhood and have plenty of windows in my home for cats to sit in. We’ve got a fenced yard as well.

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!

About: I have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I genuinely enjoy the everyday rhythms of pet care—feeding, walks, playtime, litter care, and quiet companionship. I’m attentive, patient, and respectful of each pet’s unique personality, boundaries, and routines. I understand that pets can have very different needs—some are energetic and social, others are shy, sensitive, or independent. I’m calm, observant, and gentle in my approach, and I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I offer pet care during the times I’m not with my son, which means when I’m booked, your pet has my full attention. I plan my availability carefully and only accept visits I know I can show up for consistently and on time. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and mindful of each pet’s environment, routines, and signals. I take care to follow instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a calm, respectful presence in your home. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I treat every home with respect, communicate clearly, and approach each visit with patience and care so your pet feels safe and at ease.

About: I've owned 3 dogs throughout the years and I've always petsat for friends and family since I was a young teenager. I am also a former employee of Happy Dog Daycare and Spa for 3 years. I have kept some clients from my time at Happy Dog and still petsit for them, my friends and family regularly. Typically every other week or a few times a month. I have a collection of dog toys and keep food and treats stocked in-home. If pet parents allow, I will let their dog play with my family's dogs, daily walks around the neighborhood or local parks and a comfortable environment. These also apply for house visits and any activity or request made by pet parents will be followed.

About: I have taken care of dogs since i was a teen. I grew up around all kinds of animals. I have helped raise numerous puppies for other people. i have taken care of both healthy and sick pets.

Autumn did a fantastic job! I was so worried about leaving my cat alone, but she sent so many photos / updates that made the process so much better. I think everyone should feel so comfortable leaving your pets with her. They are in good hands :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Stanley on Rover is $22.2 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 5,251 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Stanley. 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 Stanley 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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.

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.
