About: I have years of hands-on caregiving experience through both personal and professional environments. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles and small furry friends. Include owning a dog, cat and few snakes personally, operating a dog grooming business. I am especially passionate about snakes and reptile education. I understand the patience, attentiveness and calm energy animals need to feel safe and cared for. As I build my animal care business, pet care is becoming part of my daily routine, allowing me full availability to provide dependable, attentive, compassionate care. For drop -in visits, I provide dependable and attentive care by feeding pets, refreshing water, taking dogs out for walks and potty breaks, cleaning litter boxes, caring for reptiles, bringing in newspaper, mail, or packages. Watering plants, and giving pets companionship and comfort while their owners are away.

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: First off I'm the exceptional dog lover! I have owned a dog my whole life and I currently have an almost 4 year old hound mix. Before becoming a mom I worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility. I have been a stay at home mom now for almost 7 years and now that my kids are getting older I’d love to start getting myself back out there and what better way to start than spending time with pups!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have had my dog for 16 years. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I work from home most days and can be flexible. I understand daily routines are important and that all dogs receive consistent exercise and care. Each pet receives individual attention, including cuddle time, walks, and play sessions. Pets have their own cozy area with bedding, toys, and water. I respect the routines and environment of pets in their own homes. I ensure all doors, windows, and gates are properly locked after each visit to prevent any accidental escapes or intrusions. Whether in my home or your home, my pet care services are designed to provide a safe, nurturing, and loving environment for your pets. I understand the importance of trust and the comfort of your pets, and I strive to exceed your expectations in every aspect of their care.

Kelly was great. I was concerned about my dogs because they are big and can be a lot to handle. Kelly stopped by the house frequently while I was on vacation and took care of them. I just got home and all is well. Thank you Kelly!

About: Hi! I am no stranger to walks, accidents or muddy paws! I have one rescue dog of my own, Aarya, who is more than just family to me. I have experience caring for several dogs with all sorts of personalities and needs. I am more than happy to take care of your pup while you’re away! Please note, I do not provide services in my home. I can do drop-in visits or stay at your house while you’re away. I am currently working a part-time summer job while I am home from college. My schedule is flexible and can fit with your schedule. I usually work 4 days a week, but have the opportunity to come and go as needed! I'm happy to take dogs for walks, let them run and play in the backyard while supervised, crate them if needed, and keep up with their regular feeding schedule. I will make sure they get plenty of bathroom breaks, attention, and care while you're away! :)

About: Hey, I'm Sean! Or you can call me your new favorite dog guy, either one works. :) As someone who grew up with dogs and started taking care of them at 10 years old, you can rest assured your dog is in good hands! My passion would be large dogs, but I am open to checking in or walking dogs of any size. I have experience with Great Danes, English Mastiffs, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and Blue Tick Hound Dogs, to name a few. I have a Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity and work full time remotely. When I am off work I enjoy exploring outside. Hiking, taking the dogs for a walk, bike rides, you name it! I am always down for meeting with you and your dog to make sure everything is a good fit beforehand. I have worked with dogs that are dog aggressive before and I have yet to meet a dog that pulls too hard. I am accepting new clients for drop ins or dog walks for the following days and time. Accepting new clients for: Monday: 5pm through 10pm. Tuesday: 6pm through 10pm. Wednesday: 5pm through 10pm. Thursday: 5pm through 10pm. Friday: 5:30pm though 11pm. Saturday: 10am though 11pm. Sunday: 11am though 10pm. I am open to recurring bookings Monday through Friday only. Pet safety is my number one priority. I will protect your dog at all cost during walks and any drop in visits. Thanks for the consideration and I look forward to meeting you and your pup!

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and thoughtful pet sitter who treats every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets—and your space—in someone else’s hands, so I focus on reliability, communication, and genuine care. I have experience with dogs, cats, and other small pets, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, medication, or just keeping them company, I’m attentive to their individual needs and personalities. I’m also a very respectful house sitter. I keep things clean, organized, and secure, bring in mail or packages, water plants, and make sure everything is just as you left it (or better) when you return. I am retired and am so fortunate to have flexibility with my time. I maintain my workouts and other chores around my pet duties for that week. When caring for a pet in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal, calm, and comfortable as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and bedtime so the pet feels secure in their familiar environment. I spend quality time with them—not just quick check-ins—so they have companionship, attention, and mental stimulation while their family is away. I also keep the home tidy, monitor the pet’s behavior and wellbeing, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

Jen is very kind to come at short notice. She is attentive to detail, and we are confident that we can trust that the visit will be just fine. Our cats are not lovey to strangers, but at least we.are able to determine that nothing is amiss.

About: I have worked with animals all my life. I enjoy working with them, and I am always learning from them. I have experience working with deer, horses, cats, and dogs. I am currently getting certified as a dog trainer. I will arrange my time with my customers and give priority to the ones who need me the most. My family and friends have always trusted me with their four-legged family members. My friends often say they would like to be a cat with an owner like me because my pets are well-treated and loved. I truly enjoy taking care of the most important members of the household. I have always been active and hardworking throughout my life. I want to be known as a trustworthy person because I understand that I am caring for one of the most important members of the family.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Stanley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Stanley on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,276 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.
