About: I’ve had dogs of all sizes throughout my life, and pet sat for many friends! Friends know I am reliable, and will always prioritize your animals I’m currently working full time, and looking to make some money on the side doing what I love! My schedule is flexible, meaning I can work around you and your pets needs to make sure they are getting the best care. I have 3 dogs of my own, and have plenty of experience with feeding, playing, and crating dogs. Because all our dogs have been rescues, I also have experience with puppies, untrained dogs, and dogs who aren't perfect on leash.
“Marley was awesome with my cat! She stopped by every other day and took great care of him, and it was such a relief knowing he was happy and well cared for while I was away. My cat clearly felt comfortable with her, and I really appreciated how reliable and caring Marley was. I’d happily ask her to watch Avery again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great cat sitter! 🐾”
About: I have had 9 dogs over the years as pets between both of my parent’s houses. I pet sit a lot for friends, family, neighbors and from word of mouth! I’ve dog sat for as many as hot to 5 dogs at once, so more than one is not a big deal! I love to go for walks, especially if it’s nice and we can travel somewhere for a nice walk! One of my favorite things is snuggles while watching Netflix or doing homework! If you have cats, don't worry about it I love them too! I lived with my best friend for 6yrs who had 2 cats! The more the merrier! I am currently going back to school for my BSN. I am in online classes right now and work as an overnight aide in NICU at Virtua! I work 2 days a week and have a lot of open time! I work M/T and then have 9 days off, work fri-mon and have 7 days off and it just repeats. I know that can be confusing and overnights don’t work for some, so more than happy to chat about it in relation to what you need! :) I treat everyone’s pets as if they are my own. They get treated no different and if anything more spoiled because I know it’s hard having your humans leave you and having someone new around! Nothing but unconditional love!

About: I’ve take care of animals since I adopted my cat in 2006. Since then, I adopted my first dog (Maltipoo) in 2008, a rabbit in 2014, a second dog (Belgian Malinois) in 2018, and a third dog (Golden Retriever Mix) in 2023. I am looking to make a little pocket money during medical school. My availability is entirely subjective to my school’s schedule so I’m often only available weekends. My dogs are crate trained and leash trained so I have the most experience with that. I am more than willing to be flexible and learn your pet’s routine.

About: I've had 3 dogs in my life and when I was old enough I trained 2 of them with basic commands. I usually help my aunt with watching her dog which includes bathroom breaks, staying over night, and hanging out with him during the day. I've also watched him after he had surgery to make sure he didn't mess with the wound. I'm a part time college student and I work during the weekend. I'm mostly free during the week after 11 on Mondays and Wednesdays and 1 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Some Fridays I'm free before 1. I have a fenced yard and a pool with a small dog who loves running around and swimming(our big one passed recently), I give my dog baths, I take her for walks, play with her, feed her, clean her space. When I watch others pets I make sure to clean up if they make a mess, that they go potty before I leave and have a full bowl of food and water depending on how long they will be alone for.
“Rebecca's five star treatment of my pups was incredible. If you want someone reliable, trustworthy and keeps you updated, look no further. My dogs absolutely adored her and I will be definitely utilizing her services again for the future.”
About: I had two labradors when I was young. I helped take care of them, walk them and play with them. They taught me the meaning of true love! I’ve taken care of my daughter’s German Shepherd for 2+ years, helping train him, walk, feed and play with him. Such a love bug! I love being around dogs! I work until 315 everyday but am available after that M-Fri. I also can do 730-8am some days. Saturday and Sunday I have more availability that can be discussed. I will follow any instructions you leave. I will walk your dog on a leash if needed or let them out in your yard, whatever is preferred.

About: I can’t remember a time I didn’t have a pet of some sort under my care! From dogs, to birds, to fish, to frogs, I’ve really done it all! While I don’t have a furry friend of my own yet in vet school, I would love to take yours in and treat them like my own. I’ve already dedicated my life to the wellbeing of animals—why not include yours in that too! I’m currently a veterinary student so my schedule is a bit dynamic! I’m free 24/7 over the summer, but starting in September my schedule becomes a bit more dynamic. Feel free to reach out and see if our availabilities are a match! I live in a residential area with sidewalks (and a park!) perfect for daily walks, and I even have a fenced-in yard for extra play time. No other furry friends currently—so all of my attention will be on your baby!

I am patient, attentive, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and keeping routines consistent. I also pay close attention to behavior and health so I can catch anything unusual early. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give your pet plenty of time and attention. I am available on weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I can accommodate walks, drop ins, or boarding depending on your needs and will always prioritize your pet’s routine. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel at home. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special needs. I keep a close eye on pets at all times and make sure they are secure during walks and play. I am also big on communication, so I will send updates and photos to keep you comfortable while you are away.

Jaqueline was awesome ! At short notice she was able to schedule a meet and greet the day before she came to check on our dog while we travelled she played with him took him out back to pee and poop fed him filled his water bowl and sent us a photo that showed him happy with his new friend enjoying a treat ! 😂 she was great and we will definitely be in touch with her in the future and we highly recommend her!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Stratford is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $27 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 November 2026, there are 8,271 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Stratford. 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 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.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Stratford. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 cancellation policy, 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.
