“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I highly recommend her! She did an amazing job taking care of Bruno and made the whole experience stress-free. She was patient, caring, and treated him like he was her own. I could tell Bruno was comfortable and happy, which means a lot. Great communication, reliable, and someone I’d definitely trust with him again!”
About: I’ve worked at a pet boarding and grooming facility for the last 2 years, and have done volunteering and sitting previously. I’ve cared for many dogs ranging from 8 weeks to in their late senior years. I have experience with disabled dogs as well as administering medication by mouth. I’m currently working and in school part time, so I have some extra time throughout the week and weekends! I am available any weekday except Wednesdays and Fridays. When I’m not in school or working, I would love to care for your pup! I would follow the feeding instructions, making sure your pup has food and water at all necessary times. I would make sure their space is clean, and that they are let out to use the bathroom periodically. To ensure that your pup is safe and comfortable I would love to know their typical habits and behaviors around your home.
“Heather was amazing with Milo! She provided regular updates with photos, and made sure he was as comfortable as possible. She was very responsive leading up to dropping him off, and was kind throughout the entire process. I truly appreciate Heather watching my pup and would recommend her to any dog parent! ☺️”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs since I was 21. I am a nurse and feel comfortable taking care of dogs of any age. I currently have my own doggo who is a 14yr old, spade, lab beagle mix. I am presently working from home and have availability for daily pet care. Even for my own dog I am traditionally not away for more than a few hours. I have a fenced in patio and my own dog to help keep your pet company. Walks will always be leashed ones. If there are any concerns with how your pet and mine would get along I would be more than happy to conduct meet and greets.
“We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience! Leaving all of our dogs for the first time was incredibly nerve-wracking for us because, honestly, we have never been apart from them like this before. We were so nervous about how they would handle being away from home, but from the very beginning, we knew they were in amazing hands. The pictures and updates we received throughout their stay meant so much to us. Being able to see their happy faces, know what they were up to, and get little updates throughout the day gave us such peace of mind while we were away. They were incredibly gentle, patient, and understanding with Maple, who is still very new and was understandably a little unsure of everything. They took the time to understand each of our dogs’ very different and interesting personalities and made sure each one was comfortable and happy in their own way. And of course, Ace, Zatanna and Ember absolutely LOVED their pool time! 😂 Seeing them having the time of their lives running around, playing, swimming, and getting all the love and attention they could possibly want made our hearts so happy. All of the dogs clearly had an absolute blast. They got to run around, play, explore, and most importantly, they were given so much individual love and attention. They truly made our dogs feel like they were at home rather than somewhere they had never been before. For dogs who had never been boarded before, I honestly could not have asked for a better first experience. They came home happy, tired, and clearly very well loved. That means everything to us. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our babies, for being so patient with them, and especially for keeping us updated and sending so many pictures. You made something that was VERY difficult for us so much easier, and we are incredibly grateful. We absolutely cannot wait to use you again for future vacations! Our dogs may have had their own little vacation while we were gone, and I think they’re already looking forward to the next one! ❤️🐾”

I also respect your home and will keep you updated so you can have peace of mind!
“Bianka took such good care of our two huskies- they went on plenty of walks and Bianka kept us frequently updated with messages and pictures. Our dogs came home tired and we would happily have them stay with her again!”
“Hailee was absolutely amazing. She took great care of my little guy and sent me photos and videos. I’d highly recommend her. Her communication and professional were great as well!”

Bianka accepted my inquiry super last minute, worked with me on drip-off, was respectful, sent updates and photos, and communicated the whole time I was gone. My dogs absolutely loved staying with her, snuggling, playing, and taking walks to see the water and ducks! I will definitely book with her again!
Amoré had such an awesome time with Regan. He went to the dog park and even got to play with some new friends. She kept in constant communication and asked permission before taking him to the dog park. I received updates, pics and videos during his stay. I will definitely use her again.
Seth and Ashley are the best sitters we’ve ever used on Rover! Very attentive, responsive, and communicative. They took Molly in as one of their own during the holidays and treated her like family. They sent daily updates and went above and beyond, especially as we had to book last minute. We would absolutely recommend them and Molly looks forward to her next stay!

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.
97% 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:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
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 NC 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.
