“Took really good care of my fur babies and was conscientious and tidy in my apartment. Loved the updates and photos! I will definitely re-book and it made me very comfortable in a stressful work event that I knew my cats were taken care of, especially my newly diabetic cat!”
“Great cat sitter. Nadine was highly reliable and was able to care for our elderly cat. She made it a breeze to train her on the cat's med schedule and quirky nature. Highly recommend.”
“Traci was an excellent dog-walker for us! She kept us updated and provided pictures throughout the weekend as well as little updates. We will definitely book with her again!”
About: I have been around dogs all of my life, once I was able to properly hold a leash there was no stopping me from hanging out with our 4-legged furry friends! I am a frequent dog walker for coworkers, friends, and family. I also have dog sat on multiple occasions for coworkers, friends, and family whenever they needed me. Most importantly I rescued a very active and very spoiled French Bulldog 6 years ago and he has made my love for dogs even stronger somehow! As much as I love dogs, I also love cats! I will make friends with any sort of animal if I am able to! I work a hybrid schedule for a corporate office. I am in the office on Tuesdays & Wednesdays, and I work from home the other 3 days. Monday, Thursday, Friday I take personal walks on my lunch break as well as after 5pm and would love for a furry friend to join me! Saturdays & Sundays I am open as well! Happy to walk your pup wherever in the neighborhood or area, we'd get out steps in! I have walked dogs in the past ranging from 15lbs, all the way up to 120lbs!
“Leanne is such a wonderful sitter for my cat Ellie! She looks after her with so much care and love. I used to feel much more anxious leaving Ellie but now I always know she is in good hands with Leanne.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely love. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, from playful puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. My experience includes helping with dog deliveries, caring for dogs at shows, basic training, and looking after cats, rabbits, sugar gliders, and other small pets. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, keeping pets active, maintaining clean spaces, and adjusting to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also believe in keeping owners informed with regular updates and photos. Your pet’s happiness and well-being will always be my priority. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy making time for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I’m generally available Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 6 PM, with some flexibility depending on the service. I welcome both regular and occasional bookings and am happy to discuss your pet’s schedule to make sure I can provide the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I take time to learn about each pet’s personality, habits, health needs, and daily routine before caring for them. I carefully check doors and gates, keep dogs safely leashed outdoors, and never leave pets unattended in an unsecured yard. I follow feeding instructions, respect household rules, and keep their environment clean and comfortable. For pets staying in my home, I provide a calm, welcoming environment with supervised outdoor time. I also make sure pets from different households are a good match before allowing them to interact. Regular photo updates are always part of my care, so you’ll know how your pet is doing.
“Stephanie is fantastic!! My senior cat loves her. She is great about keeping you informed, is very attentive to my cats needs, and is very thorough in giving him his medications. She sends great updates and fantastic pictures/videos!!”
About: I've cared for pets of all sizes and temperaments since childhood. I'm comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, and behavioral needs. Neighbors and friends trust me with their most beloved companions. I provide attentive, personalized care and regular photo updates to keep owners connected. I work from home, so pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I have flexibility throughout the day for dog walks, feeding sessions, and playtime. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or afternoon play, I can accommodate your schedule and your dog's needs. My work from home setup means consistent, reliable care without gap. My home is a safe, welcoming space for dogs. I have a fenced yard where dogs can play and exercise safely. I'm experienced managing multiple dogs with different personalities and energy levels. All dogs in my care are supervised closely, with access to water, rest areas, and outdoor time. I maintain a calm, secure environment and follow each owner's specific instructions for feeding, medication, and behavior. Your dog will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own pets.
About: Hi! I am excited to meet your pets! I have had animals my whole life and have a special loving bond with all animals! I have done pet sitting and work in shelters for a number of years. Pet care is my daily responsibilities with my own pets at home. I volunteer at shelters but would love to make your pets part of my day! I am very knowledgeable about animal behavior and animal needs. I understand the importance of understanding each animal and their needs! I approach each animal slowly and calmly to help comfort them as we get to know each other.
“Susie was great with my Maine Coon Suka. She was professional and communicative. Suka is not used to meeting new people and can be an intimidating large cat, but Susie knew to give Suka her space and wait for when she’s ready. Suka warmed up to her and was side swiping her and rubbing against her. I’d hire Susie again.”
About: Hi there! I’m an experienced dog care provider dedicated to giving local pups the absolute best care. With professional experience co-owning a pet service business and years of hands-on dog handling, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. My main priority is making sure your pup stays safe, comfortable, and right on schedule for their visits. Whether we’re out on an energetic walk, dropping in for mealtime, or relaxing during an overnight stay, you can count on clear communication, prompt updates, and plenty of cute photos. Looking forward to connecting with you and your pup! Pet care is a core part of my daily routine. I build my schedule around consistent walks/visits, feeding times, and any special instructions so pets are never rushed or squeezed in. Throughout the week, I keep communication steady with updates and photos, and I stay organized with notes to keep each pet’s routine consistent from day to day. I care for pets the same way in any space: safely, calmly, and according to their routine. In a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely for meals, walk/play schedule, and house rules. I keep everything clean and secure, and I send clear updates and photos each visit. In my home (for boarding), I provide a calm environment, regular potty breaks and exercise, close supervision, and a consistent routine with the right balance of attention and downtime based on your pet’s personality and energy level.
“Melissa took excellent care of our two kitties while we were away for vacation! She not only gave them plenty of attention and cuddles, but also worked to keep our place tidy. I would ask her to take of our kitties again in a second!”
About: Howdy! My name is Natalie and any dog I've met I have loved like my own. Growing up I had my fluffy 90lb Labradoodle and two sweet guinea pigs. Aside from my own pup, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk and feed their dogs and care for their cats. I currently have a full time job where I have to go into the office Monday-Thursday but an available for walks and drop-in on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I live in a small apartment in Brighton MA across the street from a wonderful reservoir and less than a mile away from several parks! I am a very active person so would be a great host for an athletic or active dog! However, if your dog is less active, I can easily bring my activity level to where your dog is happy and comfortable. I allow pets on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to.

Sue is a wonderful pet sitter! Sue has been looking after our cat, Sasha, for several years now. Sue is pleasant and professional. She is very flexible with her availability and is great at communicating. She always sends an update and photos after every check in. We plan to continue to use her services for as long as she is offering them and would definitely recommend her to other pet owners.
Hannah is excellent with my black cat, Juniper! She engages with Junie at the level she needs, shifting her play and attention based on my cat’s mood. She always checks food, water and litter and takes good photos with a detailed report. I will be using her again!
Caroline is our go-to pet sitter on Rover. She takes wonderful care of our cats and is always giving us updates with pictures each visit.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Waban is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $56 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 11,076 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Waban. 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.
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.

- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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.
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.
