About: Hi, I’m Beth (rover made me use my first name)! I have owned dogs for over 20 years and they are my family! I have a 4 year old dog who loves friends coming to play! I have a good sized fenced in yard. I am available for boarding on weekends and in the summer and walks/drop ins all year! I am a teacher and on the weekends and in the summer I am home and ready to love on your dog! I have a fenced in yard and a dog who loves other dogs. We will play outside, snuggle on the couch, and may even take a walk at a local park! If you need drop ins or walks I am available pretty much anytime in the summer. My yard is fenced and all areas of my home are open to dogs. Dogs will be fed separately and I can have toys available or not depending on temperament. I do require a meet and greet before stays in my home to be sure your dog and my dog are compatible.

About: I've been caring for animals my entire life and genuinely love getting to know each pet's unique personality. Growing up, I had dogs, cats, a pig, and a variety of small animals, giving me hands-on experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. For more than 20 years, I've provided pet and house sitting for friends and family, caring for everything from farm animals to energetic puppies, senior pets, and cats. I'm comfortable with pets who have special needs and have experience administering medications, including oral medications, allergy injections, and insulin shots. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable care for your pets. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, drop-in visits, or overnight in-home care, I can accommodate a variety of schedules while making sure they receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care. When you're away, I'll treat your pets and your home with the same respect, patience, and love that I would my own. My goal is to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. I work from home full time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable drop in visits, midday walks, and in home pet sitting throughout the week. Because I work remotely, I'm able to be flexible with visit times and can give your pets the attention and companionship they deserve. While I don't offer boarding, I'm happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home where they feel most secure. Your pet's safety and well being are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to follow your care instructions closely. Whether it's administering medications (if needed), maintaining feeding schedules, reinforcing training, or simply providing a calm and reassuring presence, I strive to make your pet feel safe and cared for. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I have over 20 years experience as a pet sitter. I had two dogs named, Gizmo, breed - Shiatsu/Maltese mix, 7 pounds, 16 years old and Bullet, breed - Maltese/poodle mix 25 pounds 16 years old who've passed away displayed in my profile pictures. Your Pet's home away from home. Taking care of your babies is important, by providing a Pet friendly neighborhood with a park a block away and a fenced in backyard for your pets to enjoy. My experience in Pet care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I'm currently working from home full-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets. I'm availble weekdays and weekends from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. I have a fenced in back yard and I'm an empty nester so can provide your fur baby with all the attention they need. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: I’ve always loved animals. Growing up, my family had a mini menagerie—dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and even a cow. I spent my childhood swapping horse care for riding lessons, fostering a deep connection with animals of all kinds. Every day, I dedicate my time to making pets feel loved, safe, and cared for. From volunteering at the Oregon Humane Society as a pet photographer to fostering kittens, my life has been a continuous adventure in caring for animals. Over the years, I’ve shared my home with several cats—Petey, Beamer, Gus Gus, and Olliver—each with their own unique personality and quirks. I also raised two wonderful dogs, Ikaika and Astrid, sharing countless hikes, park adventures, and cozy nights at home. Ikaika was a playful and spirited dog who brought immense joy to my life before his battle with cancer ended too soon at the age of seven. Losing him taught me to cherish every moment with our pets. Most recently, I said goodbye to Astrid, my senior dog, after 16 wonderful years of companionship. While losing her was incredibly difficult, honoring her memory has inspired me to enrich the lives of other people’s furry companions. Raising both Ikaika and Astrid—from playful pups to wise seniors—taught me the unique joys and challenges of every life stage. I decided to turn my lifelong love for animals into a mission: helping pet parents feel at ease when they can’t be there. I’ve built strong skills in training young pets, caring for senior animals, and administering medications when needed. Whether it’s socializing a shy kitten, wrangling an energetic puppy, or ensuring an older dog feels comfortable, I bring patience, understanding, and experience to every interaction. My goal is simple: to make sure every pet I care for feels at home and loved, while giving their humans peace of mind. Reach out, and let’s talk about how I can support you and your furry family! AVAILABLE (open schedule): Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday are open schedule 10am-6pm NOT AVAILABLE (days and times, usually twice a week): Monday, Wednesday afternoons between 3PM-6PM Friday mornings between 9AM-12noon Drop-ins and pet sitting in your home: I treat every client's home with the utmost respect and care, ensuring a safe and stress-free experience for their pet. I do this by: • Following your instructions regarding feeding, medication, and exercise routines. • Ensuring all gates and doors are securely closed to prevent escapes. • Being attentive to the pet's body language and behavior to identify any signs of stress or discomfort. • Providing regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing. Walking your dog: Safety is my number one concern during dog walks. Having had a very sensitive and reactive dog, I’m aware of the environment and take necessary precautions such as: • Understanding your pet’s behavior with other animals and people. • Avoiding close interactions with unknown dogs. • Following the leash law.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet 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 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 5,406 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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 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.

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.
