“Brianna is absolutely amazing! She regularly drops in to care for our two pups, and we completely trust her with them. This week we had a last-minute trip come up and needed her to house sit, and she didn’t hesitate to step in. She did an incredible job—kept us updated with messages and photos, and most importantly, kept our pups happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We’re so grateful for her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!”
“Laura consistently goes above and beyond. We had a sick pet and she took care of him like he was her own. Very appreciative of all the communication and love she shows.”
“Maggie loved having Ashley stay with her while we were out of town. Ashley was easy to communicate and plan with and very flexible when we needed to make adjustments at the very end. Maggie got awesome time outside in the yard, on walks in the neighborhood, and with Ashley in the house. Highly recommend Ashley to anyone in need of a great dog sitter.”
“Dina was a great dog & house sitter. She was able to accommodate our pet's walking schedule and left our home in perfect condition. I would highly recommend her and hope that she will be available for future bookings.”
“Krystal A. was awesome! My dog fell in love with her so quickly and he is very shy. She did a great job paying attention to him and keeping him on his normal routine. I hope to book her again soon.”
“Annabella did a great job taking care of our dog! Good communication, sent lots of photos and hung out with her giving her lots of care and attention. Definitely recommend!”
“Charles is responsible, professional and very easy to get along with, both for me and my dogs, who love him! I was very happy with his services and would love to book Charles again when I travel again.”
“Angela is incredible, cannot recommend her enough. My dog is very difficult to watch, doesn’t trust anyone and gets sick when she is anxious. Angela handles all of it professionally and with kindness, has been unbelievably patient in helping my dog build confidence with her. My cat warmed up quickly, and I know Angela is taking great care of both of them when I’m gone.”
“Anna was incredible! Was great on updating us throughout the day. The dogs loved her right away. Not only did she take care great of all three dogs, she took great care of our home. Would be happy to recommend her to anyone, and have her over for any future dog sitting.”
“Dogs are at ease no huge anxiety when we returned whick is great to see. I believe they were very loved while we were away. House was tidy. Awesome would definitely book Celynda again”
About: I have had animals of all kinds since i can remember. I have taken care of dogs mostly but have experience with cats, bunnies, ferrets and even chickens and horses. I am a stay at home mom to a 2.5 year old little boy. Just trying to make some extra money for my family doing something I love and helping out pet parents in need! I will be sure to follow all rules, I am very diligent about what a dog needs as I have a couple senior dogs at home that take special care (vitamins etc).
“Leticia was absolutely amazing! From the initial meet-and-greet, she immediately made us feel comfortable and confident that our dogs would be in great hands. She was dependable, caring, and kept us updated throughout the entire stay with messages and photos. Her consistent communication completely relieved the stress of being away, and we never had to worry about how our dogs were doing. From the first day through her final update, Leticia went above and beyond. We highly recommend her and will absolutely trust her with our dogs again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 20 years for family and friends. I own four dogs of my own with two grand dogs as well. I have a heart for dogs and truly love caring for them. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time to come and care for your doggies whether it’s stopping by for potty breaks, walks, overnight stays or just to keep company so they aren’t lonely. I will care for your doggies the same way I would care for mine. I can take them for walks, give meds, bathe, brush, etc. I understand people have busy lives and as much as they love their dogs, there just isn’t enough time in the day. I can help with that.
“We really appreciated the care our Rover sitter gave our two dogs while we were away overnight. He was available on short notice, responded promptly, and came by for a meet-and-greet very soon afterward, which we really appreciated. He communicated well throughout the stay and sent lots of pictures, giving us peace of mind while we were away. I had told him it was completely fine if he skipped our dogs' morning walk since we were only gone for one day, but he took them anyway, and I truly appreciated the extra effort. After we had already booked, I also asked if he could turn our leopard geckos' lights on and off, and he was happy to help with that as well. Most importantly, our two pups mean the world to us, so knowing they were well cared for gave us great peace of mind. They are an important part of our family, and we're very grateful for the excellent care and attention they received. Thank you, Jonathan!”
“Wonderful job! My animals were loved and happy when I came home. It was clean and the animals were fed and litter was changed! Overall 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend and use again :-)”
“Stelia was punctual and did a great job taking care of our 17 year old fur baby on New Year’s eve. We had to modify our time and Stalia was flexible meeting our needs. I’d totally recommend Stalia and will for sure use her services again.”
“Maddie is amazing! She is so good with my dog. She sends lots of pictures and videos, and communicates regularly with updates. My dog absolutely loves spending time with her and I always feel relieved to know she is staying with him.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Waddell is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waddell
I cleaned house before we left and was thrilled to come home to a spotless house and a HAPPY dog!! Chuck sent us pictures and or videos every day and Harper was smiling and content every time!! We had a rather complicated food recipe that Chuck had to follow and he did so like an experienced line cook lol. He is extremely organized- taking notes at the meet and greet and then again right before we left, asking questions and making us feel sooo comfortable leaving our sweet dog in his care! He was sooo friendly and accommodating and his wife is lovely too. 😊 I would HIGHLY recommend anyone to use him for their pet sitting because we didn’t at any time feel uncomfortable or worried about our dog or home and that in itself helps to make a vacation wonderful!! Bonus for us is that we have the nicest new friends and Harper does too!!! Harper says thank you, too!!! 🩷
We had such a wonderful experience with Annabella! She took amazing care of our pups and kept us updated throughout their stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them. Our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust her with our pups again. Highly recommend! ❤️🐾
Gloria was wonderful with our two French Bulldogs, Taz and Zoe, and we would absolutely book her again! Before we booked, she offered to come by for a meet-and-greet, which we really appreciated. What stood out immediately was her calm, gentle nature. Taz and Zoe are usually very excited around new people, but within minutes they were lying beside her, completely relaxed. That told me she was a perfect fit. She was easy to communicate with, confirmed our booking before our trip, and sent updates and photos after we left, which gave us great peace of mind. I also appreciated her honesty when Zoe accidentally slid a chair into the wall, leaving a small dent. Gloria immediately let us know and sent a photo, even though she wasn’t sure whether it had already been there. That kind of integrity means a lot. When we returned home, our house was just as we left it, and Taz and Zoe were happy, relaxed, and obviously well cared for. Gloria is dependable, trustworthy, and truly cares about the pets she watches. We highly recommend her!
Laura did a most excellent job and my pets loved her. They were treated wonderfully and so was my house, left very clean and bedding & towels washed & replaced. My cat and two dogs were so content even before I arrived home from my trip. Laura also took lots of great photos. Thank you Laura!
Absolutely wonderful! This was the first time we have hired a sitter for our four year old German Shepherd and we have always been a little nervous about how she would react to a new visitor in our home. However, from the start, Nicole was very professional, personable, and knowledgeable about how to interact with our Zoey and went the extra mile to assure us everything would be just fine while we were away. She took such great care of her, managed her medication routine, and sent us daily e-mail updates with some of the best pictures we have of her! We highly recommend Nicole and will be contacting her with any future pet sitting needs.
Emily was absolutely amazing with our dogs! From the start, she made us feel so comfortable leaving them in her care. She was attentive, loving, and treated them like her own. We came home to two very happy and well-cared-for pups, which says everything. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We will definitely be booking Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
Wow, just WOW! Kristin is a dream doggie sitter. She sent pics of our sweet elderly pup. She answered my texts right away. She has great communication skills. When we came back home, we were greeted by a very healthy and happy doggie. 🐾 The house was in perfect shape. Almost like she was never here. We give her a 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’ve already chatted about having her services again. 😊🐶🤩🐾
Six stars! We were gone for 16 days, and hired Hannah to house and pet sit. She is fabulous! Things could not have gone better! Hannah is bright, friendly, sweet, and asked all the right questions. She picked up my mail, rolled trash and recycle out, and all my plants are still alive. The house is just as I left it. Hannah checked in via text often, with cute stories and pics of my mousers. I know she took great care of them. (One of them even seems to like her more than she likes us!) We will hire Hannah to come back again in a few months when we travel next, and I’ll recommend her to my friends and neighbors. A+

FAQs for House Sitting - Waddell
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Waddell on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,299 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Waddell. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Waddell walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Waddell maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Waddell 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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Waddell. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
