“Heather was amazing caring for our two dogs. So happy they had her there to check on them and play with them while we were on vacation! We would definitely book with her again. Thank you for everything Heather!”
“We had a great experience with Rylee. She took great care of our cat and dog and I felt at ease on our trip knowing our pets were in good hands! She was reliable and I appreciated all the pictures she sent while we were away. I would definitely rebook Rylee and recommend her for anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets!!”
“This was the first time using a pet sitter, and I was hesitant, but after meeting Dani, my mind was at ease. I like receiving the visit cards and pics on my phone. My Cali seemed so happy and taken care of too. I would definitely request Dani through Rover again. I will also tell friends. Thanks Dani! ”
“Krysten has helped us out on multiple occasions. She continues to be prompt, reliable, and professional. Our dogs always seem so happy when she sends photo updates. We highly recommend Krysten for your pets needs!”
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.
“2 dogs and 3 cats. Pleasant from the 1st meet & greet. Loved the photos daily. Good communication and on time for visits. It’s hard to find someone to trust, so look not further. This can be your person too. Thank you!!”
“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.”
About: I worked in vet med for the past 6 years. I am currently taking a break from it to open up my schedule to do more at home pet sitting. I can administer medications (injectable, oral and topical), I love all age stages from babies to seniors! Young, old, spicy and sweet. I always make sure to let owners know what my schedule is looking like and if that is going to work with their pets routine. I stick to the routine the pet is used to as much as possible. Any medications, sleeping arrangements, even down to what kind of blankey they get tucked in with at night.
“Stephanie was fantastic with our kitties, Bella, Luna and Neo. We received updates and photos daily. Neo absolutely adored Stephanie and looked for her everyday. He even looked for days after our return. We would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a sitter for their cats or dogs. Thank you again Stephanie! You're the best.”
“Ava was great! Communicative and attentive, she took great care of my 3 cats. They’re shy and timid with new people and she was able to get them to warm up to her a bit for some snuggles and playtime. I’d definitely use her services again!”

About: Hi, I'm Ashley! I have 5 years of hands-on animal-care experience, including 3 years volunteering with the Humane Society and 2 years working at PetSmart, plus 8+ years of personal pet-sitting experience. I've cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities and energy levels, and I'm comfortable with energetic dogs, puppies and pets who need extra patience while adjusting to a new environment. For boarding, my goal is to make your dog feel safe and comfortable—not simply give them somewhere to stay. I follow their normal feeding, medication, exercise and sleep routines as closely as possible and provide plenty of attention, playtime and potty breaks. I have a securely fenced yard and can provide separate spaces when needed. You'll also receive regular photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is being cared for. I'd love to meet you and your pup! 🐾 I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and potty breaks throughout the day. Whether your pet is staying overnight or I am stopping by for a visit, I will make sure they recieve the care, exercise, and love they deserve. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through my work at PetSmart and with the Humane Society, where I learned how to safely handle dogs with different personalities and needs. I share my home with four dogs, so I understand how important safe introductions, supervision, routines, and individual space are. Guest dogs are never expected to interact with my dogs if they aren’t comfortable doing so. I have a securely fenced yard and can provide separate spaces while following your dog’s normal routine to help them settle in comfortably.
About: I have experience caring and owning dogs and have fully experienced the many different personalities each pet can have. I'm very comfortable dealing with anxious and excited doggos and have no problem taking time to build a relationship with each one. I am currently unemployed so I am able to care for pets at all times of the day and stay overnight to keep then company. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine, and any instructions provided for pets needing medication. I also spend additional time bonding with them and letting them get used to me being around even if that means keeping my distance until they work up to me. I have 0 problems handling pets with potty issues as most of the ones I watch have accidents waiting for me when I arrive!
About: I have taken care of dogs in my home and professionally at a daycare/boarding facility. I am an RN and comfortable with meds and first aid. I will treat your dog like my family! I am currently working on starting my own business taking dogs on excursions to keep cool while playing with other dogs. I love dogs and find great satisfaction taking care of them in the home or outdoors. I will strive to maintain the regular routine for your dog. I help them feel comfortable by doing the same things you would do for them. Meal time, bedtime, walking, pottying, etc. all tend to have a routine, and I will keep that routine while pouring out affection to your dog as if they were my own.
“Amber is consistent, reliable and great with my fur kids. She comes daily and has also come last minute to get me out of a bind. Highly recommend and the kids love her.”

I can’t say enough good things about my dog sitter. She is truly compassionate, loving, and caring with my two Frenchies. From the moment she arrives, it’s clear she adores them—and they adore her right back. She takes such great care of them: she plays with them, keeps them happy and engaged, and stays on top of all their needs. My dogs are energetic and full of personality, and she handles them with patience and genuine affection. She even spoils them a bit (in the best way), which they absolutely love. I regularly get thoughtful updates and photos showing how well they’re doing, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re safe, content, and thoroughly looked after. She’s reliable, warm, and just a wonderful person. I honestly don’t know what I would do without her. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dogs like family, she’s the one.
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Waddell is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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 October 2026, there are 4,778 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Waddell. 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 .
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 , 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
