About: I’ve taken care of and owned dogs of every kind and age since I was 5 years old. No dog is too big or too small! Too young or too old for me! My friends, family, coworkers and neighbors have all trusted me to care for their furbabies. I know how much mine mean to me, and I promise to treat yours as my own! I am currently working full-time as a teacher so weekdays have to be scheduled in advance after 5PM. Will gladly schedule weekend walks and drop-ins! I care for others’ fur babies as if they were my own! I am happy to accommodate whatever food, medication, or exercise needs they may have!

About: I have owned dogs my entire life and absolutely adore them. We lost our two dogs within months of each other and I miss them terribly. I would love to spend some time with other doggies. I work part-time so have a lot of flexibility. I’m happy to drop in or take your dog(s) for a walk. I’m happy to also just hang out with them. Unfortunately my two doggies are no longer with me but I miss taking care of a dog so I would love to be able to help someone out.

About: I have a signal family house with a large backyard and i have over 10years of experience caring for dogs and cata. I currently have one dog and one cat at home.

I follow each pet's regular routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout their stay. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pets are happy and well cared for. If I am caring for pets in a client's home, I always respect their home and follow all care instructions carefully to keep the pet comfortable and maintain their normal routine.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 10 years old. I started dog sitting for my neighbor and fell in love with dog sitting/dog walking. I love being around dogs & being able to care for them. I am working full-time Monday through Thursday and I am pretty flexible to take care of your pets on the weekends. I volunteer as an EMT on the weekends but I am able to work around that schedule. I’ve had a dog ever since I was born. When I was born, my parents had a yellow lab named Hudson who I absolutely adored. I enjoyed feeding him, playing with him, and enjoyed walking him (with some help). Shortly after Hudson passed, we got Roxy - our 16 year old cockapoo who we recently had to put down. Ever since Roxy was a puppy, I enjoyed taking walks with her, playing with her, and relaxing with her. She was my best friend and I was usually the person who was in charge of taking her out for walks and to go to the bathroom.

About: Growing up with many pets, I always enjoyed spending time with and caring for my furry family members. While in college and into present day, I continued to work with animals through dog walking as well as pet and house sitting. Past clients, friends, and neighbors rely on me to care for and spoil their furry family members while away from home on trips or simply for a quick gaunt to the park. In the past, I worked with cats, dogs, and other mammals, but I am more than happy to learn how to care for other pets, such as amphibians, birds, and reptiles. I have a flexible job full time job. I am available most days of the week except Thursday to relocate for pet and house sitting. I’m flexible to swing by to check on your pet or take for a walk throughout the day if overnights are of less interest. I am available throughout the day for quick let outs and check-ins with your pets. I can easily crate your dog in my apartment while boarding them. I also live 5 minutes from a great dog parks for your pup to get socialization. For cats and other furry friends, there is plenty of room for them to roam and play. FYI: I do have one cat, named Sedona. She is very chill around other pets and does her own thing.

About: a dog owner myself and living in an area surrounded by owners who I’ve helped over the years to take care either walk, stay over night, or just a cuddle buddy, I’ve worked from puppies all the way to senior puppies I work full time but my hours vary each day so I know what days work better and will be able to help anyone whenever requests assistance for their loving furry friend my dog is trained off leash, but I don’t have a fenced backyard I love at a dead end so I have a lot of space to run around if need but a big area in neighborhood for walks to the park or just in town.

“Richie is great. I have booked his services a couple of times to visit our home to take care of our dog Pepper. Richie is reliable, and stays in communication by sending me photos and texts on each visit. Ensured Pepper was fed, had plenty of water, gave treats, and allergy medication. It gives us peace of mind that Pepper is well taken care of while we are away. Also, Richie brought in our mail and packages. If you're looking for someone to care for your furry family member, consider Richie.”

Our dog felt so comfortable with her going for walks and she sent lots of photos to put our mind at ease that our pup was in great hands. Highly recommend if looking for a caring, trustworthy dog sitter!”

“I was very nervous about using an online service to have someone watch my precious babies, as I had never done so before. Jennifer came for a meet and greet, took notes on what needed to be done, and took the girls for a walk with me to see where they normally walked. I booked 3 drop ins with Jennifer. Each drop in I received a report and photos on how the girls were doing. Jennifer put me at ease and kept me well informed each and every time. I will certainly use her again!!”

About: I am an animal lover through and through and will take care of your babies like they are my own! I am playful and energetic when it’s time for fun, but also calming and soothing when it’s time to relax. I’ve been around animals my whole life, owning dogs, parakeets, fish, snails, frogs, and any other critter who needed care. I currently am a rat mom of 2 albino boys that I love dearly! I would be happy to watch over any of your critters, including cats, dogs, small mammals like rats or mice or hamsters, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and more. I truly love all animals and it would be a joy to meet & care for them! I’m currently a commuter student at Rutgers University, so I do have class Monday through Friday for a few hours during the day. Outside of weekday classes (I will provide you my schedule and we can coordinate), I am fully free nights & weekends. I always let the animal guide the experience depending on their comfort level. I want them to feel safe and secure, and will only do what is recommended by you/what the animal is comfortable with. This could mean lots of playtime, or just sitting on the couch near each other if the animal is feeling unsure, or just feeding & leaving. Each situation is different and I will assess appropriately based on the information you give me and how the animal reacts. I can assure you they are safe as can be with me!

About: I have experience with both younger dogs and elderly dogs. I have specifically worked with senior dogs, who required special care getting around, keeping track of their medication schedule, and their diets. I'm currently working part time and remotely, so I'll have a lot of time to spend with your dogs. I also enjoy taking walks, so I'll make sure your dogs are getting the outside time they need! I have a large fenced in yard at my home, along with plenty of dog toys. I can also crate your dog if needed. There are also a few trails nearby which are easy and engaging for dogs to walk through.

Katie took care of our dog for a few days. She is reliable and communicative, and is clearly someone who can be trusted with your pet and to help you feel at ease while away. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in the area who needs a pet sitter.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Stirling

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Stirling is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 24,270 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Stirling. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Stirling 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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 Stirling 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 Stirling. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
