This was our first time having a sitter for our dogs outside of family, and Amanda was great! We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future when we need someone to look after our dogs.

I’m new to the area and was really nervous about leaving my four cats for a week, especially my senior cat who’s 15 and requires a little extra care and attention. Amy was fantastic from the start—professional, kind, and clearly a true animal lover. She took the time to get to know each of my cats and made me feel completely at ease. I received regular updates and photos, which really helped me relax while I was away. When I returned, everything was spotless and the cats were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. Amy went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful to have found her. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!

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 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.

Caelan did a fantastic job watching my 2 cats, I could not be more pleased with the care she provided to my fur babies. Caelan sent multiple pictures each visit. She was very professional start to finish, super friendly and a great communicator. I have already booked Caelan for my next trip so I definitely recommend her without hesitation.

June has gone above and beyond to make my dog happy and loved. She made homemade treats for him and sent lots of pictures to make me feel no anxiety while I was away from him. She treated him like her own and I will definitely use her again when I need to!

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.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I currently have both a dog and a cat, so I'm comfortable with the unique needs of each. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've pet sat for families in my neighborhood, providing reliable, loving care while they were away. I also have experience working in an animal hospital, where I learned how to recognize changes in a pet's behavior, safely handle animals, and support their overall well-being. That experience has given me confidence working with a variety of temperaments and situations. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply a familiar face while you're away, I'll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I am currently a stay at home mom of two kiddos. During the summer months my schedule is pretty flexible. I would be available to you’re pets morning afternoons and evening/nights. I have a fenced in yard, my children have been raised with and around areas their entire lives. If you’d rather I come to your home it’s good to know that I have a reliable car, and consider myself to be highly responsible and trustworthy.

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Stanley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet 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 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 July 2026, there are 5,434 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.
