About: What's up! I'm Nick, an enthusiastic dog walker and sitter. I have an 8 year old female Shepherd that loves to play! Shes very friendly and sweet but sometimes takes a few minutes to open up. I can set up a meet and greet so you can get to know me before making any decisions 👌😄 I run a small business from home cultivating gourmet mushrooms. It doesn't take all of my time, and I love dogs,so I do this as a side gig. I only watch 2 dogs at a time. That way, less risks are involved and I can give them proper care individually. I let them play outside and come inside as they please. I don't mind them being on the couch. I feed them twice daily, but it depends on the needs of the owner/dog.

About: Through my shelter experience, I’ve worked with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments, including shy, nervous, energetic, and more challenging dogs. I understand that every dog is different and may need a different approach. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable giving dogs the time and space they need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pup is playful and high-energy, a little anxious, or prefers a slower pace, I’ll treat them with patience, care, and plenty of love. My shelter experience has also taught me the importance of paying attention to body language and individual needs, giving me confidence in caring for dogs who may need a little extra understanding and attention. I’m available for pet care early mornings and evenings Monday through Friday, with flexible availability throughout the day on weekends. Whether your pet needs a morning check-in, an evening visit, or extra attention over the weekend, I’ll work with your schedule to provide reliable, loving care that fits their routine. I provide pet care in the client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to your pet’s needs, and will keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I absolutely love animals, and with over 30 years of experience living alongside pets, I naturally tune into their unique personalities, body language, and routines! As a high-energy runner and big walker, I’m the perfect match for keeping active pups happy and hitting their exercise goals, while my decades of sharing spaces with animals mean I’m equally great at giving sweet kitties the calm companion care and independent space they thrive on. Whether your pet is an energetic workout buddy or a quiet lounger, I bring tons of love, care, and reliable live-in companionship to make them feel safe, active, and completely pampered! I work part time from home on my own schedule, easy to fit in your fur baby’s early morning, mid day or late night needs! When staying at your place, I focus on keeping your pets exact routine, boundaries, and energy levels intact. As a runner and big walker, I love tailoring our days to hit your dog's exercise goals, whether that's a fun jog or a casual stroll around the neighborhood. Decades of living with canine and feline roommates mean I effortlessly adapt to their feeding schedules and unique quirks, giving them plenty of love and live-in companionship right where they’re most comfortable.

About: I have had the privilege of caring for a family friends new puppy during when he was going through some medical treatment and his pet parents had to go away. We are best of friends till this day and have bonded in a special way. Already being in the medical field gives me the patience and compassion I need to care for your pup when they aren't their best. I'm currently working 3 days a week as an independent contractor for a medical company so I love to fill my afternoons and days off with our four legged life companions. I want your pet to be comfortable and safe so I want to know their routine and safe spaces at home. I am only here to make sure that your pet can stay cared for in the best place possible, home. Does your dog like walking around the neighborhood or going for a run on the beach? Does he like long drives with the window down? Give me their wants and needs to keep aclean and cozy environment while you are away so you don't have a thing to worry about.

About: Hello! 👋🏻 I’m new to the neighborhood 🏡 Does your pet have special needs? Let me put you at ease! I have extensive experience providing high-quality care for animals with anxiety, reactivity, and high energy. In addition, I specialize in oral and topical medication administration. I've been in Animal Care my whole life, most recently I was a dog caregiver at Friends for Life in Gilbert, Arizona and before that, I was an adoption assistant for All About Animals in Phoenix. I started house-sitting for pets years ago and have been so grateful for high recommendations to new clients. I understand the responsibility of providing top-notch care for your furry friends. I'm comfortable handling dogs that are up to 100 lbs and am familiar with most types of leashes, collars, and harnesses. I've cared for dogs, cats, fish, birds, rodents and reptiles with ages ranging from newborn to senior. I've bottle-fed babies and assisted pets with mobility issues and special diets. I'm attentive, organized, and committed to providing exceptional animal care. Scheduling with me is a breeze! This is my full time job. I've available for drop-ins and walks from 7am-9pm Monday-Friday and 7am-10pm on weekends. If you’re interested in 24-hour overnight care, please let me know at our introduction. Every animal and space is different. Please let me know your unique requests when we have our introduction/consultation. All services include updates and photos! Drop-ins include food, water, litter change, indoor exercise or outdoor walk, medicine administration, and cuddles! Dog walking includes taking the dog(s) for a walk or to a nearby dog park. Water is provided. Treats are also provided once sensitivities and allergies are verified. The length of the walk depends on each animal and their activity needs. Some clients prefer we focus on training reinforcement. House sitting is completely customizable. We can discuss plant care, security, mail, and deliveries. Most requests are doable. I'm available for overnight stays but I come and go throughout the day. Please inquire about 24 hr care of that might be something you need. Currently, I'm not providing boarding services but I would like to in the future.

“Brendan did two drop in visits for my two dogs and I have nothing but good things to say about our experience. He’s punctual, great communication, and follows all of my annoying instructions. He does well with both my senior dog and my younger anxious dog, leaving us with happy pups when we get home. We are booking him again for our week long vacation in August.”

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Stanley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Stanley is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $22 per visit. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 5,162 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:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
