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!”
About: I'm a stay-at-home, homeschooling mother of four, and I have one dog (yellow lab mix) and two cats! I love animals and since we are home majority of the time, your pet will have ample love, attention, and care. MY entire downstairs is tile and we have a backyard, so puppies still needing house training would be acceptable. I'm happy to walk/run with dogs, care for cats, come to your home to do check ins, whatever you're looking for, just ask! I have taken care of animals for family, and I appreciate any details or notes you have so I can provide the very best quality of care for your individual pet. I am home majority of the day with my kids. I have young kids ages 5-11 and I homeschool, so we are home most of the time. I take our dog on a walk or run in the morning around 7am or earlier, and again in the evening if the weather is nice. I have plenty of time for loving and caring for your pet! I offer care in our home, or in yours depending on your needs. Your pet will be exercised, fed, watered, loved, played with, cleaned up after, and all around cared for and adored. I can only provide care to animals who are okay with children and other pets, to keep everyone safe from natural pet instincts to protect themselves. My children have been taught to use only gentle and loving hands with slow approach with adult supervision. In the event we need to leave the house I do require kenneling for dogs if they are known to chew/scratch. I am happy to provide pictures and updates, so that you can rest assured your pet is happy and thriving while you are away.
About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized, reliable care I give to every pet. I focus on keeping your cat or dog comfortable in their own home, which reduces stress and keeps their routine consistent. As a full-time student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to offer frequent check-ins, great communication, and real-time updates so you always know how your fur baby is doing. I’m experienced with both cats and dogs, including pets who are shy, anxious, or need a little extra patience. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies who need structure and consistency, as well as senior pets who may require a gentler pace, medication reminders, and closer attention. Your pet’s safety is my priority, and I always treat your home with respect and care. Pet care fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routine because I balance school and work with a schedule that’s still very flexible. I’m able to plan my work shifts and classes around the visits I book, which lets me give each pet focused, unrushed attention. I keep my calendar organized so I never overbook myself, and I make sure I have plenty of availability for morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins. Even with a busy schedule, I prioritize communication, consistency, and reliability so your pets get the best care while you’re away. I focus on making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and completely cared for in their own familiar environment. When I’m in your home, I follow your pet’s routine exactly, and feeding schedules, litter box care, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I always take time to bond with your pet at their pace, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a little extra patience. I refresh water, deep-clean litter boxes when needed, tidy up any messes, and make sure your home is left just as you expect. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or mood and will update you regularly with pictures and notes so you always know how your furry friend is doing. My goal is to give your pet comfort and consistency while giving you peace of mind.
“We had a great experience! Our dog was so well taken care of and got lots of playtime and attention while we were away. Jace also did an amazing job taking care of our chickens, which we really appreciated. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing all of our animals were in such good hands. We came home to happy pets and would definitely book with Kacee again. Highly recommend her :)”
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.
“Heather was great with our pups, who can be a bit challenging at first. We really appreciated her communication and picture updates. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: I am an experienced pet caregiver, and in another life I was a veterinary assistant. I currently work part-time (2-3 days a week) in retail, so I want to spread love and care to all pets big and small! As of right now I am available every day, including weekends, from early mornings to late nights. I have reliable transportation to and from your homes as needed or in case of any emergency. I can offer long walks and play time for your furry friends! I can work with both dogs and cats who require medications such as insulin, transdermal medications, any other oral medications and other special care during home visits and boarding situations. I do not have any breed restrictions and hope to see dogs of all shapes and sizes, and I can walk even the heaviest of dogs. I currently work full time from home. I have a fenced in backyard for potty breaks and easily accessible walking trails by my home that I love utilizing. I live in a 3 bedroom home with my partner and a roommate. We are all animal lovers and love to play. While I am the main caregiver in the home, I am in competition for main cuddler.
“Gloria did an absolutely amazing job watching my dogs for 3 nights. I was worried about leaving our recently adopted rescue for the first time, but Gloria took excellent care of both dogs and was very communicative. On top of that, she left the house cleaner than we left it, going above and beyond. We will definitely be hiring her again!”
About: Hi there! I’m Allison, and I can’t wait to meet your furry family members. I have loved and cared for my own dogs and cats for more than 25 years. Currently, my house is kept lively by my three amazing pups: a Beagle, a Golden Retriever, and a Labrador. Having raised everything from high-energy hunting breeds to gentle giants, I know exactly what it takes to keep a household happy and harmonious. My philosophy is simple: I treat your pets, in your home, exactly like they are my own. Whether your dog needs a structured routine and a good game of fetch, or your cat prefers quiet companionship and perfectly timed chin scratches, I tailor my care to their unique personalities. I am comfortable with oral medications, special diets, and multiple pets. I will make sure your pet gets the love and attention it deserves while you are away. I offer dedicated overnight stays at your home so their routine goes uninterrupted. I can provide morning and evening feedings, fresh water refills, multiple walks/yard play sessions, plenty of couch cuddles, and daily text and photo updates. I’ll also keep your home secure and tidy, bring in the mail, and water plants. I can also do drop in visits to provide morning/evening food, fresh water, let-outs/quick walks, playtime, and a clean litter box or backyard scoop. Animals thrive on consistency. I adhere strictly to your established schedules for feedings, bathroom breaks, and medication administration to minimize any separation anxiety. You will never have to wonder how your pets are doing. I provide daily updates complete with photos and notes on their mood, eating habits, and bathroom routines. If anything seems out of the ordinary, I will communicate with you immediately.
About: I used to have 3 dogs I helped take care of everyday before my family moved across the country. They were my best companions: a dachshund, yorkie, and italian greyhound chihuahua. I took care of them and countless amounts of dogs for family friends; mastiffs, white labs, black labs, and more chihuahuas. I currently am a part-time student at Arizona State, but I am free on Monday-Friday at any time, and some weekends as long as I’m informed or asked to pet-sit a week in advance. We have a small, fenced yard that I use for my own dogs that we occasionally play with them in. This is easy for me to use play time for in a clients home.
“Tonya is amazing. My shy dog Lillie loved her from the minute they met. Tonya sent pictures regularly and my cat and dog looked happy and comfortable. I was able to enjoy my trip better without having to worry.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13, taken care of neighbors, friends and family dogs. I have such a soft spot for dogs. I'm currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available during the week and weekends. I have open availability on weekends. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where every pet is treated like family. I'll follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, exercise, and any special instructions you provide. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and lots of affection. Whether we're playing, going for walks, cuddling, or simply relaxing together, I'll make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and right at home until you're reunited. 🐾❤️

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waddell
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 $43.33 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,250 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:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
