“Hailey was amazing with our dog Luna!! She was able to accommodate our last minute scheduling while we were getting married. Her check ins with pictures and comments made us feel at ease while we were away. She even let Luna play with her dog for companionship!! She gave Luna a supplement too on top of her normal feeding. Thanks Hailey!!! We look forward to seeing you again!”
“Sarah did a fantastic job watching our pups while my wife and I were out. She kept us updated the whole time and made sure they were well taken care of. It was clear she gave them plenty of attention and love, and we came home to two happy dogs. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again next time we need someone reliable and caring.”
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.
“Jacqueline is an awesome sitter. My kitties were so happy and healthy when we got home. She's great at making sure our cat got his medicine everyday and that they both felt loved. She also did a great job housesitting and making sure my garden survived our time away.”
About: I have recently been learning different breeds while fostering. It has given me insight to which ones like what and what their needs are on a daily. 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.

“Abby was absolutely wonderful! I was in a pinch and needed someone to come over and check on my dog the same day. I blindly reached out to her, she responded quickly and was able to make it happen! We then had her come check on our dog the following 2 days as well. She let me know when she was on her way and gave me thorough updates throughout. I’ll absolutely be using her again and if highly recommend her!”
About: Hello, I’m SirJahad! I have over 11 years of experience caring for cats through both personal ownership and cat sitting for clients, friends, and family. Over the last 2 years, I’ve also gained experience caring for dogs through pet sitting for friends and family members. My experience includes feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I truly enjoy being around animals and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always do my best to provide dependable, patient, and attentive care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs extra comfort. At the end of the day, my goal is for you to return home to a happy pet and feel confident that they received the same care, attention, and respect that I’d want for my own fur babies. Thank you for the opportunity, and I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Currently working a full time schedule. I clock in at 7:30am & finish between 2:30-3:30pm depending on the week. If you’d like my services anywhere between those times, just need 5 days to a week’s notice prior to booking. Typically free Saturday & Sundays. I believe communication is one of the most important parts of pet sitting. During our meet and greet, I ask plenty of questions so I can follow your instructions as closely as possible. I’ll make sure your home remains secure, clean, and respected while you’re away. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall wellbeing, and I’ll always communicate anything that seems unusual.
“Myranda was great. She last minute popped by to meet Penelope and check out the place. She provided details and photos each drop in visit. Will definitely book again!!”
“Alyssa went above and beyond for Wyatt and I today! Previous walker canceled last minute after I had already left home & she popped right in to save the day! Really appreciate the quick response & the help she provided beyond Wyatt - he was very happy when I got home, so grateful! Thanks Alyssa! We’ll see you soon 😍”
“Victoria was fantastic! Not only did she check on both of my cats, as well as being active with refilling things like their water, but she also did some clean up around the house that was absolutely not required. Would absolutely come back to her!”
“You did an amazing job with our two pups. The looked completely comfortable with you and I will absolutely contact you when we need someone to care for our little ones. A huge thank you!”
About: I have taken care of dogs at the animal shelter and have 15 cats that I take care of. recentlyretired from working full time . I am available after 3:00 pm in the afternoons seven days a week. Available at your home and for walks for dogs and inside care for cats. My furry babies have tender loving care each and every day. Fresh water clean bows and litter boxes. Special care and comfort for dogs if necessary.
About: I have rescued several animals over the last two decades. All of them have led happy lives from the moment I scooped them up from their shelter and into a loving home, to the time they passed. My family now includes two lovable, dorky, fur babies that own me. Simon is a friendly, rescued tabby cat and Lucy is a family-inherited mini dachshund dog. Both of my pets get along with other animals without any issues. Me and my husband share the duty of walking, playing, drop-offs and pick-ups. There is ALWAYS someone home when I sit. That makes it safer for everyone, especially the animals I care for. I have a fenced-in backyard for roaming and releasing energy (if the personality permits) but I also take the pups out and about as well for variation and exploration.
About: I believe every pup matters—and every dog deserves to be treated like an individual. 🐾 I’m newer to professional pet care, but dogs have become something I’m genuinely passionate about. My hands-on experience began with my own dog and has grown through providing regular drop-in care for another family’s dogs. That experience made me realize how much I enjoy working with dogs outside of my own home and learning what makes each one tick. I’m especially interested in dog behavior and positive, reward-based training, and I’m continuing to educate myself in both. While I don’t advertise myself as a professional dog trainer, I’m happy to reinforce the routines, commands, boundaries, and training methods you already use at home. What sets my care apart is that I don’t want your dog to simply be another appointment on my schedule. I pay attention to their personality, energy level, body language, routines, and what makes them comfortable. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, playtime, a patient potty break, some extra enrichment, or simply companionship while you’re away, I’ll meet them where they are. I’m also comfortable with big personalities! Excited dogs, jumpers, energetic pups, and dogs who may need a little extra patience don’t automatically scare me away. I believe behavior is communication, and I approach dogs with patience rather than punishment. You can expect dependable care, updates about your pup, photos, and someone who genuinely wants them to have a positive experience while you’re away. Because to me, **every pup matters.** ❤️🐾 I can drop in to check on your pets and Let them out for potty breaks and also walking between 6am and 1pm during the week. Weekends 6am to 9am and then 8pm to 10pm. I care for every pet according to **your instructions, their normal routine, and their individual needs.** You know your pet best, so I’ll follow the feeding schedule, potty or litter routine, walking instructions, medications (when discussed beforehand), house rules, and any special preferences you provide. While in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect I would expect someone to show mine. I’ll make sure doors, gates, crates, and leashes are secure and clean up after your pet during my visit. If something unexpected happens, **your pet’s safety and well-being come first.** I’ll make every reasonable effort to contact you and follow your emergency instructions. If I can’t reach you and the situation requires immediate action, I’ll use my best judgment to keep your pet safe and seek appropriate help when necessary. Most importantly, I’ll pay attention. Every pet communicates differently, and I want you to come home to a pet who was safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. 🐾

“Bracey is an absolute delight. I had never left my cat Blu with anyone other than family before until I met Bracey. We met for a meet and greet and her extremely personable nature, affinity for animals, and how well she interacted with my cat relieved all of my stress. She was quick to contact me with any needs and took excellent care of my cat. I will be requesting her to check on my cat when I go away every time and recommend her to anyone who is searching for a sitter.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Stratford is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Stratford
Katia was a literal godsend for us. This was our first time trying Rover and having someone stop over to care for our cats while on vacation. This may be the first time in years where we literally had no stress regarding the care our cats were receiving. Katia was on time for every appt., and kept us updated throughout our whole trip. Katia will definitely be our go to cat sitter for any future getaways.
We had such an amazing experience with Samantha, and we truly couldn’t recommend her more! Not only did she make sure our cats were happy, well-fed, and loved, but she also watered our plants! 🪴 She always included the cutest pictures in her updates which always made us smile! We even came home to printed photos of our cats along with a kind note—it was such a thoughtful and personal gesture that meant a lot to us! 🥹 If you’re looking for someone reliable, attentive, and truly kind, she is absolutely the best. 🙂
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! 🐾
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!

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.
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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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.
