About: I have taken care of dogs since 5 years ago helping friends and family when they needed help. I always had a connection with dogs and love to take care of them. I have a part-time job that gives me time to take care of pets weekdays and weekends mostly in the mornings. I can accommodate my schedule too. I make sure that all the necessities and schedules any dog has are completed before leaving, making sure the dog feels comfortable and safe are my top priorities.
“Myranda sat for my two cats and did a great job. My cats are shy but she was able to get pictures each day and one came out during her sit. She is very responsible and followed my instructions (probably too many!) to a T. It was a great comfort to me knowing she was taking care of them while we were away. I highly recommend her to anyone with cats or dogs. She’s a gem!!!”
“I chose Susan to watch our dogs while we were gone one night because she had great reviews. I'm happy to say she lived up to the previous reviews and took great care of our pups! I really liked her detailed updates and pictures she sent me whenever she dropped in. Would definitely recommend!”
About: My family had dogs throughout my entire childhood and I was often tasked with feeding and walking the dogs. I have done overnight dog sitting for friends and I’m comfortable with keeping a dog’s schedule. I currently work Monday through Friday 8 AM to 3 PM. My workdays are set, but I can certainly accommodate evening visits on days that I am working at my job. On my days off, I am free to come and go as needed for pet care. I can certainly come for a pet sitting situation Friday night through Sunday night. I am currently unable to care for animals in my own place, due to my rental restrictions. I Preferred to travel to the pet’s home.

I work from home so I have some flexibility in my schedule to do stuff throughout the day. I enjoy being able to help animals. I have been fostering on a regular the past year. I enjoy caring for and having the dogs around to keep me company too. They are fun getting to learn the different breeds.

For the last three years, my wife and I have taken great care of our Labradoodle and love to help our neighbors and friends when their dogs needs a walk or potty break I work remote, so I have availability throughout the day on most days. I am most free between 11-2 EST and after 4PM, but I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. My pup always gets the most love and care. I am gentle during play, and I have experience leading a dog safely on a walk.
About: I am a lover of all pets! Family, friends, and acquaintances all can see my passion and dedication to helping animals. I have been trusted to walk dogs, overnight sit dogs, and even take them to grooming appointments! No pet isn’t worthy of love and being taken care of <3 I currently am still in school. I’m able to walk pets on weekends and/or late afternoon if needed. I’m able to complete pop up opportunities, but only on weekends. I live in a home with a fenced in yard that is decently sized. I live with a toddler that loves all pets too but can be loud. I know how to build a crate and have the space for it in my home.
“Katie was excellent with my boy Gianni! This was the first time I did anything like this, going away, family usually helped me out. She paid attention to my over the top details of what I do with Gianni. I felt reassured, and comfortable with her and that Gianni would be in good hands. Her daily updates and pics of G, were also very reassuring for me. I will def be in contact with Katie for future trips and would suggest using Katie for your little loved fur babies. I am glad I met Katie and did this. 5 stars from me and Gianni!!!”
About: I have had multiple dogs ever since I was 10 and have never had an issue with any of them. They know they are loved and cared for! Currently I’m between jobs so I have a good and open schedule to care for your animals. I love animals and have a lot of fun playing with them and walking them! We have a fence at my house that allows my dog at home to have a wide open space for playing and exploring. He also receives many bones for good behavior throughout the day.
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life but I truly started caring for dogs when I was 11 years old. My family adopted an Akita who was 100lbs+ and I helped care and train him from ages 3 months to 8 years. I have experience with medium and very large dogs, specifically reactive dogs. I am very big on maintaining healthy boundaries and gaining the trust of your dog, especially on walks. I also am experienced in bathing dogs with different fur/hair types as I have also worked with doodles. I hope to another person your dog can trust. I am an early bird and have no problem with early morning walks and care. I am currently studying as well so my schedule varies throughout the year. I am always free on Sundays and Tuesdays and Thursdays after 12:00 pm or before 9:30 am. I like to be familiar with the outdoor space your dog spends the most time in and other dogs (if known) that live on the street. It is also very important to me to be aware of any allergies or sensitivities your pet might have as I want them to be safe inside and outside. Whenever I leave a clients home I always make sure I spot all the animals I am caring for before I leave, making sure they aren’t stuck in places they shouldn’t be.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stratford
Hailey took exceptional care of our dog, Benji, while we were away. She was incredibly patient, attentive, and genuinely caring, which gave us complete peace of mind during our trip. Benji was happy, comfortable, and clearly well looked after in her care. It’s clear that she truly cares about the pets she looks after and goes above and beyond for them. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend Hailey to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet care.
Nicole is an absolute pleasure to care for my German Shepherd Dog. She’s prompt, thoughtful, very down to earth, and my 2 year old GSD absolutely loves her. Best of all, she handles him extremely well and with care! Couldn’t be happier to have Nicole drop in and care for my (very energetic) Shepherd.
Sarah was amazing with our three pups, one of those with special needs. She cared for them like they were her own while we were away and coming home to a clean home with happy pups was beyond measure. Sarah kept us updated throughout our time away with photos from her visits- which we really appreciated! Highly recommend Sarah if you are in search for dog care in your home!
Donovan was an absolute pleasure to have! He cared for all three of my dogs at once, and trust me—they’re a handful with their different personalities. Somehow, he made it all look like a breeze while I was away on my trip. He went above and beyond, even sending me picture updates that gave me peace of mind. My dogs were clearly happy and comfortable in his care, which means the world to me. I’ll definitely be requesting him again for my future vacations. Thank you so much, Donovan!

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 Stratford 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 Stratford 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 .

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 Stratford with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
