“Kimberly is simply wonderful. She truly loves animals and it shows in the way she cares for my dog. She's professional, attentive, and always notices the little things that might need attention, which makes me feel comfortable knowing my pup is in good hands. I'm so happy I found her and appreciate everything she does. I wholeheartedly recommend her—she'll treat your pets with the same love and care.”
“As always, we appreciate Krysten so very much for the love and care she provides to Wolfy whenever we go away. We always know he will be in wonderful hands. Thank you again, Krysten!!!!”
“Heather went above and beyond to help me with a thermostat issue while I was out of town and she was taking care of my dog. Followed all of my directions, took tons of pictures for me. Very trustworthy. 10/10 recommend Heather for future dog watching!”
“There aren’t enough terrific words to describe the loving care Michele gave our two dogs. One of our dogs was a rescue we had for six months. She was afraid of most people, but not Michele. After several days she even let Michele pet her. Michele did an amazing job and even sent pictures every day with pictures. I would definitely ask for her again.”
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.
“Daizy is wonderful! She kept my animals and home safe while I was out of town. She kept me updated every step of the way. She also cleaned up my pups messes. I will most definitely book her services again.”
“Dina was very reliable, caring and an effective communicator before, during and after 6-day check ins with my cat. I had full confidence in her during that time period (which included admin of medication) that my cat was well cared for. I will use Dina’s services for any future need.”
“Annabella was awesome! She came into my home to check on my dog Bear and handled everything perfectly, even though it was her first time meeting him and being in my house. Bear can be a little unsure at first, but he warmed up to her quickly which says a lot. She was super friendly, easy to communicate with, and made the whole process feel really comfortable. I really appreciated the update and the photo she sent too. I’d definitely trust her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and great with their pet!”
About: As a pet owner myself, I know how stressful it can be to find someone whose schedule truly works with your pet’s needs. I’ve been pet sitting since I was a teenager and joined Rover recently. I wanted to be that reliable person for other pet owners who may feel overwhelmed trying to find the right care. I have plenty of free time, work from home and genuinely love being around animals, so your pets will get lots of attention, love, and consistency. They won’t be left feeling alone or ignored while they’re with me. I’m here to keep them company, give them plenty of affection, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy the entire time. I treat every pet like they’re my own because I know how important they are to you. I have experience with puppies, older dogs, and everything in between. My goal is to give your pets the same love and care I would want someone to give my babies. ❤️ I’m usually up and available as early as 5 AM, and I can visit as late as 11:30 PM, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I can work around yours! I’ve had dogs my entire life, and they are truly part of my family. My oldest dog is 15, and I also have a puppy, so I’ve experienced caring for dogs at every stage of life. When I care for someone else’s dog, I treat them exactly how I would want someone to treat my own. I’m attentive to their needs, keep a close eye on them, and make sure they are safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout their stay. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. ❤️
“Kaleena is an amazing sitter and we are so blessed to have found her. My dog can be quite a challenge and requires a lot of extra time and patience to warm up to strangers. Kaleena completely understood his boundaries, never rushed him, and used so much love and patience to earn his trust. By the end, they became friends. It means the world to find someone who treats my Toby with love and patience. Thank you for winning his heart!”
“Brianna has been wonderful to work with. She’s great at reading my dog’s cues and always makes sure he gets plenty of quality time and attention. I feel confident knowing he’s well cared for when he’s with her, and I would happily recommend her to others. 💗”
“Chris did a great job! She was able to coax our super scared and shy kitty out for some pets and pics! Great communication and prompt response to messages, would definitely recommend!”
About: I work remote so am home full time. Over 20 yrs pet experience from puppies to seniors to special needs. Fenced in yard. Lots of play time and attention. I have two boys that are very active with the pups and getting more involved with managing the app/updates. We have a 3 year old mixed lab who plays well with other dogs. (She is fixed and fully vaccinated, and she will get serious zoomies at every single meet and greet and every single drop off.) I only board one dog at a time typically, but will make exceptions very occasionally. We will send daily updates/pics the first few days of boarding, then every other day after that unless there is an issue/concern. I do have an extra crate (if they night crate) and plenty of dog bowls so you you don’t need to haul any of that. I do provide some treats and chewies so please let me know if there is anything they cannot have. Meal time will always be done separately with both dogs just in case there’s underlying food aggression. We are a little boujie, and my dog gets purified water so that is what I will give your pups as well. I work fully remote so will be home most of the time. Please message me what their daily routine consists of so I can try to keep it consistent. If they crate at night, etc., Please bring any items that you think will make them more comfortable. I have one dog who is very friendly and plays very well with other dogs. Additionally, I have 2 boys whom both absolutely love dogs. We would love to take care of your fur baby.
“Claudia has been the best! She has looked over our pups a few times now and its been wonderful. Our new puppy Enzo is very scared of people and Claudia kept trying to help him not be afraid. From when he met her until the last visit he has improved so much! Thank you :)”

Katelyn was a wonderful sitter for my senior dog Daisy. Not only did she treat my very defensive and scared chihuahua with so much care and kindness she also provided updates to give me peace of mind. Highly recommend her for anyone who needs assistance with their fur babies!!
I am extremely pleased with Beth and the care she provided for my two dogs while I was at work. From the very beginning she was caring, thoughtful, and detailed in everything she did. She didn’t just watch them—she genuinely provided them with love, attention, and the kind of careful, consistent care that makes a real difference. Communication was excellent the entire time. She kept me updated, answered questions promptly, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. I always felt confident that my dogs were in good hands. Beth is a kind, caring, and truly genuine person. She is responsible, reliable, and clearly dedicated to what she does. I don’t know what I would do without her, and I will absolutely be using her services again. If you’re looking for an amazing person to watch your dogs, please choose Beth. She is highly recommended.
Bella has been watching my puppy twice a day since he was 8 weeks old for 2 months now. She has always been on time, shown great care, and has done a phenomenal job taking care of my dog while I’ve been at work. She has been extremely trustworthy, responsive, and always sends pictures with every visit. She’s an excellent sitter who I’d recommend to anyone.
Chuck was great at taking care of our cat Trina. She is a challenge because her past life causes her to avoid strangers. Chuck understands all that. We appreciate how neat and clean he kept everything and his photos and reports of his visits. It gave us peace of mind knowing he was taking good care of her so we could finally take a trip that was long overdue.
Our "cat whisperer"!! Our cats love her and wait at the door for her. She has an excellent way for calming them down and showing them love. Our calico, Carly, is very shy, but she approaches Amber from the first meeting. We highly recommend her and have used her services many times. Thank you again Amber!!
Laura is awesome! She is super communicative, kind and so attentive to our fur babies and their needs. Loved the photos she sent, too. Laura was flexible and very understanding throughout our booking. When we were unreachable during our trip, she coordinated with our neighbors as needed. Highly recommend and so grateful for her services!

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 Waddell 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.
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.
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.
