Super responsive & helpful! This was my first time using Rover and they were super patient with my questions and last minute updates. From the pictures itt's obvious they really love dogs and that my dogs were super happy to be with them. Will definitely hire them again if they're available next time I'm out of town!

MacKenzie is the best. She has been helping me with Dixie for several years. Now she is working with my Izzy. I couldn't be happier or recommend her more.

Lauren was so sweet and helpful while we were away. I was very nervous to leave my cats but she made it possible and sent photos and videos to help alleviate my anxiety. She always replied to me in a timely manner and I was so happy to leave my kitties in great hands. Choose Lauren if you want someone who goes out of their way to work with you!

We rehired Alex to look after our big dog Rocky again for a week while we celebrated our anniversary. He did an amazing job and kept us updated with pictures of Rocky and rocky looked like he was having a blast in all the pictures. Alex played fetch with him in our yard daily and made sure Rocky had enough toys to play with. We came home to a happy dog and we are very grateful we could celebrate our anniversary without worrying about how Rocky was faring back home thanks to Alex!

About: I have been a pet owner for as long as I can remember. I have had both dogs and cats and love them both equally. I have cared for pets for both family members and friends. I've watched all types of animals with many different personalities. On top of pet sitting, I have fostered multiple litters of kittens, which has taught me patience and attentiveness. In my free time, I also enjoy volunteering at a local rescue to help walk dogs. I understand the hard work, attention and love that goes into managing any kind of animal, and I am willing to do just about anything to make sure that your pet feels loved and safe. I am a grad student who only has in person classes on Tuesday typically 8am - 4pm, which makes me very flexible for the rest of the week. I am very conscious about safety when it comes to walk, and/or letting dogs out in a fenced in area. I am sure to read any instructions before hand to learn about any issues individual pet needs.

About: I come from an animal-loving family and we always had cats and dogs in our household. I helped take care of my grandma’s pets and neighbor’s cat when I turned 13. I adopted my own cat in 2017 and if you ask anyone, they’ll tell you how spoiled he is. I fostered and then adopted my second cat in 2022 and continue seeking out volunteering opportunities with the fostering agency. My friends and family always turn to me first when looking for a pet sitter. From cat birthday parties, to cat Easter gifts, to outside time (in a mesh tent), all cats deserve this extra love! I currently have a full-time job, but am available on weekdays after 5pm to complete drop-ins, and on weekends all day. I will consider early morning drop ins for a higher fee (since I’d have to account for my commute to work). I’m familiar with how temperamental and unpredictable cats can be, so I will be calm and quiet in your space so as not to scare your fur baby. I’ll gladly give head scratches if requested :) I’ve pet sat for friends and family who have all followed different diets for their cats, and I’ve adhered to them completely. Cleaning cat litter is practically muscle memory for me now. I’ll be careful coming in and out of the home, in case you have an escape artist. Lastly, my own two cats are troublemakers, so I’ve mastered the art of cat-proofing and making sure to never leave anything where they might get to it. Your cat(s) will be happy and healthy for you when you return home!

About: I have 6 months of professional dog walking experience with a pet care company in Maryland, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. In addition, I’ve shadowed and interned at veterinary clinics, giving me experience recognizing normal pet behavior and paying close attention to each animal’s well-being. As a lifelong dog lover who owned and cared for my own dog for 11 years, I understand the importance of providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk or a relaxed stroll, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and keep you updated every step of the way. I’m currently preparing for veterinary school and spend time each week shadowing veterinarians to expand my hands-on experience with animal care. This flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable weekday and weekend walks or drop-in visits while giving every pet the attention and care they deserve. My priority is making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs. I use positive reinforcement, pay close attention to behavior and body language, and ensure pets always have fresh water and a clean environment. During walks, I prioritize safety by using secure leash handling and avoiding situations that may cause stress. I also provide regular photo and text updates so owners know their pets are happy and in good hands. With my professional dog walking experience, veterinary clinic shadowing, and shelter volunteer work, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a variety of personalities and energy levels. I treat every animal with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I would give my own.

Courteney was awesome. Bonnie can be very picky but she warmed up to her very quickly. Response time was always prompt and scheduling the meet and greet was a plus. Relieved to know we can take trips with the family and have someone reliable to care for Bonnie.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Stephens City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Stephens City on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 948 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Stephens City. 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 Stephens City 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 Stephens City 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 Stephens City 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 Stephens City. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
