“Kadyn took excellent care of my pup! I was a little worried leaving him with a new sitter, as he can be quite anxious, but Kadyn kept me updated and provided lots of photos. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely satisfied with the care and how elizabeth always made sure to keep me updated while caring for my dog. I highly recommend her and will definitely be asking for her service again.”
“Kelly took care of my sweet boy for 3 days while I was away on a trip. She is very nice and easy to talk to, keeps you fully updated with pictures and videos of your fur baby. My dog does have some nerves in new places, but her warmed right up to her and her home! I would definitely recommend Kelly to anyone who needs this service and would use her again myself.”
About: I’ve had furbabies of every size and breeds since I was a child. Horses, dogs, cats and other large mammals. Never met an animal that doesn’t love me. The feelings are mutual. I am retired, and love fur babies to keep me company and help me stay active. I do require animals be vaccinated and spade/neutered. Not taking cats due to allergies. I have a fenced yard, room to roam, a small furbaby of my own. Furbabies can be crated or sleep where they choose. Always indoor at night.
About: Hi Everyone! My name is Arianna, I recently moved to Hanford. Little about me, is that I grew up raising rabbits. I am a respectful pet sitter. I adore all animals no matter how big or small! I am responsible, and trustworthy individual who is here to love and care for your pet :) Currently I do not have a job, which allows me to have open availability. With this availability I will have more time to meet and love your pets! If your pet is young, old, big or small you can rest assure I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable and extremely loved. I will follow their feeding schedule, give them playtime and exercise all while keeping their environment clean. When caring for a pet in their own home, I will follow instructions carefully and treat the home with respect.
“Amber and Chris were very responsive and sent pictures of Murphy daily while I was away. They were also super helpful in accommodating taking care of Murphy and for pickup. Would def. have Murphy stay with them again and their 2 pups!”
About: ( I do ask each owner to bring their crates for each pet, for their safety ) I’ve taken care of friends and family pets as a teenager, decided to try to get back into it since I’m free most of my day. I can play feed and walk them for their daily activities. Doesn’t matter what age I’ll keep them entertained:) I’m currently a free all day. Have plenty of time to take care of your pet. Whether it’s walking, feeding, &playing with them. They have my attention. ** Starting 05FEB24 I won’t be able to take in medium sized dogs for a while due to some upcoming medical follow ups. Once I’m able to get back to it I will update my profile=} ** I have a fenced yard big enough to keep them running. One male small dog that’s neutered and crate trained. Very friendly once he meets and gets close to others. And the most friendliest yet shy cat. I do ask for crates ! So please bring a crate for your pet ! It’s for their safety as well as all other pets in my care !
“Tania is a great caretaker!! She sent me updates of my pup throughout the day and was always easy to reach. I highly recommend booking your stay with her and I will definitely be having my baby Bruce stay with her again.🩵🩵”
“We loved the little welcome message when our pup got to the front door. Alex is obviously comfortable and good at her role. My pup is a little rescue who doesn't always adjust to new situations easily. Alex was present to my dog and made sure I got all my needs met. My other family members who met her liked her a lot. Thank you Alex.”
About: I have cared for dogs for many years. I can walk, feed, and play with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I will treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe and loved. It's a large part of my daily routine. I have three dogs, all different breeds, which means I take care of them differently because of their different personalities. I have a part-time job; however I work a maximum of 6 hours and I am free before and after work. Right now, I don't offer in-home care at my residence; however, when caring for a client's pet, their safety is my priority. I make sure fences and doors are secure and pay close attention to any illnesses or special needs.
About: I grew up in a household full of pets. I know how to train dogs basic commands like Sit, Down, Paw, Look, Speak. Now that I’m an adult and have my own furbabies, I understand how much you want to make sure they are well taken cared of when you’re away. I work active duty military and my schedule is 7am-3pm. I am usually free on weekends for drop-in visits and/or daycare for your furbabies. Just require a week notice! I have a fenced and big backyard for the doggos to run around. I’m pretty good at introducing my dogs to visitors and I’m also pretty easy to work with.
About: I have always had an incredible amount of love for animals. I grew up on a ranch and cared for a variety of animals until the age of 7yrs. I have 20+ years experience loving and caring for animals. I specialize in dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I've been a trusted pet sitter for friends and family for many years. I communicate daily with updates, concerns and photos if requested. I want to make things comfortable and stress-free for both you and your fur baby. I'm currently working part-time, but can possibly move my schedule around if I'm given notice in advance. I'll therefore have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby and give them care and attention they need without worries. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for them to run and play. I have a doggy door, so they can come and go as they please.I also have my little one that would love to play and keep your fur baby company. I have two cats that are indoor /outdoor that will stay to themselves. I can easily crate your little one if needed.
About: I've taken care of dogs for family, friends, and neighbors for 4 years now. I have some experience grooming others' dogs, however mostly my own. They still loved the way their buddy came out and continue to come to me! I enjoy doing this job so I decided to make it more public. Hope I can help many other people and their babies even more! I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is open and flexible. I don't like to leave pets alone for too long, so for no more than 4 hours. Whether it's just to give them a potty break or to give them the attention they deserve. I have a fenced yard and live in a community with a dog park. How I take care of your babies is up to you. I understand every dog is different and so if their owner! So just let me know what you do for them and I will integrate it into their daily schedule. During the summer, the dogs will be kept inside an air conditioned home. Preferably when no one is home then they will be in a crate, however if they are guaranteed not to chew on personal items or pee inside, then they can roam inside freely. During winter, dogs can be kept outside, but it really depends on the owner's preferences.
“Will definitely recommend! Hands down amazing sitter. My fur baby felt at home. Tara kept us updated and we were completely comfortable w her boarding our dog for 4 nights . Our dog Kelly was treated as one of her own. Amazing service , if looking for a dog sitter/pet sitter this is it. Will definitely be returning.”

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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Stratford can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Stratford home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Stratford.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Stratford. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
You and your Stratford sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
