“Kalley took amazing care of my two dogs while I was away, and I couldn’t be more grateful. They warmed up to her quickly, which says a lot about her calm and kind demeanor. It was clear they were comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”
“Mariah went ABOVE ⬆️ AND BEYOND our expectations. Not only did she take such wonderful care of our two kitties while we were out of town for two weeks, she took care of US and completely put our minds at ease. We are so so grateful to have found Mariah, and we will absolutely be asking her to watch Pita and Pierogi again!!”
“Kimberly was great! She came over ahead of my trip to meet the cats and learn the routine, and even knew how to win over my skittish kitten to the point he was no longer scared of her. She sent plenty of photos and lots of informational updates on her arrival/how the visits went. 10/10 would recommend ❤️🐾”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals due to my grandma owning a snake, bearded dragon, and many cats and dogs. I love all kinds of animals and taking care of them is such a high priority. I have full availability. I can provide full time care to your animals. I can come on weekends or even weekdays. 7am until 11pm or even full night stays! I bathe, feed and walk my dog as well as other dogs and some cats depending on how they like water. I have trained animals from puppies to older aged animals.
“Sherry was amazing! We decided to go on a last minute trip and she met with us the night before we left. She was so nice and a joy to be around so we knew Charlie would love her! This was our first time leaving him but we were reassured by her personality. She did everything we wanted and more. We can't thank her enough and we highly recommend her! We will definitely use her services in the future!”
About: I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they always feel safe, comfortable and loved. I spend quality time playing with them, giving plenty of attention, affection, and reassurance. Daily walks are a favorite part of my routine, allowing pets to stay active, happy, and relaxed. I also gently reinforce basic training and good manners to provide consistency and positive structure. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel at home and owners feel complete peace of mind. Also a very great pet chef if needed. Available for house sitting or dog walking on weekends from Friday afternoon through Monday afternoon. Perfect for worry free weekend getaways! So plan your weekend trip and leave you fur babies with me! I have a fenced in backyard and two dogs of my own that would loved to keep your dogs company! My dogs love playing with balls and taking naps (dog crates if needed).
“Megan is the best! She always goes above and beyond to make sure our pets feel extra loved when we are out of town. We hope to continue to use Megan in the future.”
“Hannah was amazing and although one of our dogs gave her some issues, she handled the situation great. She was very communicative and our golden retriever loved her immediately. Would definitely recommend her services and use her again in the future!”
“Karen was great! We had a trip planned and Whiskey had been sick since November. Thought he would get better but still had a lingeri g cough. We had another sitter lined up who had their own dog and we didn't want that dog to get sick too. I found Karen last minute to come to our home and take care of Whiskey with dropins. She did such a great job and kept us informed on his coughing. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since my early teen years and have over 15 years of experience pet sitting for friends, family, neighbors, and long-term clients. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from young puppies to senior dogs in their final years, and I’m comfortable giving medications, including pills and daily injections. For several years, I ran my own pet-sitting business throughout Northern Virginia. After recently moving to the Winchester area, I’m joining Rover to connect with new local families and continue doing something I genuinely love. I’ll do my best to keep your dog happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages along the way. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a very flexible schedule and am home throughout the day. This allows me to provide consistent attention, including walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins without needing to work around a fixed job schedule. I have a fenced-in side yard/patio, which allows for secure outdoor time and potty breaks. Pets are always supervised when outside to ensure their safety. I also have a friendly mini Goldendoodle who is social and comfortable around other dogs. In addition, I have a shy cat who is dog-friendly and generally keeps to himself.
About: I’ve had two dogs over the past 10 years that I have assisted in taking care of at my home. My families second dog passed away recently and the house is now empty of pets. As a dog-loving individual I would love to be able to watch over others’ pets and provide the proper care for them. I’m currently in the process of working part time with the city of Winchester’s summer camp for kids. I would be working during the week days and off all weekends. I have a large yard in a subdivided neighborhood that is great for taking walks. My home currently doesn’t have any pets living there. There are plenty of dog beds and furniture that is acceptable for pets to relax and sleep on. It is a three story home with 2 sets of stairs in it.
About: Hey! My name is grace and I’ve been working around animals my whole life from dogs, horses, goats, cats, etc. I’d love to have the ability to treat your pet like I do my own! Your pups will take up all my time since I do have a very open schedule! I also don’t need much notice to be able to see your animal. I can walk your dog, play with them, if they need to be put into a crate, brushed, washed (depends on the dog), but communicate with me what you want and I can see what I can do.
“We needed a person who was familiar and good with cats and Crystal was the best. Our cat went right to Crystal on our meet and greet. Crystal sent me a message after the visit to let me know about Toby and the visit. It was a comfort to know that our pet was taken care of while we were away.”
“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!”
About: Hello! My name is Samantha. I have grown up with all sorts of animals including dogs, cats, rats, lizards, snakes, ect. I have dog sat in the past for friends and family and have raised/helped raise several different dog breeds including a litter of 9 Doberman/cane corso puppies. I love animals and give them all the attention and care i can offer! I am not currently working, so i have a lot of free time on my hands, especially during the week to fill with animal love! I will treat your house as my own and respect your space. I will clean up any mess left from your pooch if any and follow whatever directions you leave for me
“Charlotte is very knowledgeable and reliable. She took good care of my cats while we were out of town. I will book her again and highly recommend Charlotte for pet sitting services.”
“Taylor was amazing when I needed a cat sitter at the last minute! She was so patient and gentle and my shy kitties quickly warmed up to her. It was such a relief to know they were in great hands! I highly recommend Taylor and won’t hesitate to hire her again.”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Stephens City on Rover is $24.42 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 967 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 Stephens City. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% 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.
