“Autum always takes such good care of Spike and our house when she drops in! Spike is always happy when we get back from vacations! Autumn definitely cares a lot about dogs and it shows in the care she gives!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a little girl. I currently don’t have any pets of my own and also have a lot of extra time on my hands, which makes me a perfect candidate for your next pet sitter! I’m currently between jobs so I have plenty of time for walks, drop ins, belly rubs, scratches, playtime, feedings, and can even board your animal at my house if needed! I have a large fenced in yard for any animals requiring boarding. I keep my eyes on the animals at all times while outside to make sure they’re safe, but can easily crate your dog if preferred. I am equipped for drop in visits or longer extended visits too. I currently have no pets of my own in my house.
“This was our first time using rover and we are very happy! Tatiana was flexible, super kind, professional and responsive. You can tell she loves her job and our dog warmed up to her quick! We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of family pets and my neighbors pets since I was 16. I’ve been a pet parent myself for over 10 years now. I know how important your pets safety/happiness/and comfort is. I take watching your pet extremely serious, my philosophy with Rover is to treat your pet(s) like I do my own. I work a low pressure job from home so I’m home 24/7. This means I’m able to be around your pet and give them all my attention everyday. Most importantly that gives me the freedom to focus on the well being and comfort of your pet. About my home: - very spacious ranch style home. - no stairs, plenty of room for your pet to run around. • VERY LARGE fenced in yard. - I allow my dog Leo to spend as much time as he wants outside. Sun bathing and fetch are his favorite. •I live in a large safe neighborhood. -No major roads and safe environment. Walks are a must! I will treat your pet like they’re my own.
About: I aim to ensure that every dog in my care is taken care of to the fullest extent. Keeping your precious pet safe and loved is my duty. I know just how important dogs are in our lives, so ensuring they get the kind of treatment they get at home is essential. Loving dogs is something that comes second nature to me. Throughout my life, these pets have played a significant role. In my experience, I have watched/raised leader dogs for the blind, my dog, friends/family pets, and my girlfriend's dog often. I have 10+ years of experience working with this beautiful animal, both big and small. When taking on a new client, I'd like to schedule a meet and greet, whether online or in person; that way, we can ensure we're a good fit. That's very important to me, and also, getting able to talk will allow me to learn more about your pet and your care expectations; after all, who knows your pet more than the owner? Lastly, I love meeting new dogs, and they generally like to meet me, so I'd argue your pet, and I will get along incredibly. Being away from your best friend can be really difficult so I make it my goal to communicate as often as possible. I will make sure to give plenty of updates and pictures of all the fun your pup is having.
“Laura has been absolutely fantastic with our dogs! We’ve been using her over the last few months and she always provides detailed feedback and we feel very assured that she gives them lots of attention and love! We feel very fortunate to have her!”
About: I’ve had dogs every since I can remember, our house always had at least 2 dogs in the family. I was always in charge of walking and feeding them I work 7-5, Monday- Friday! Watching your pet or pets would fit in because I would be able to stay overnight to watch your furry friends. And as far as weekends I don’t work so they would have a pal all day. I care for pets in others homes by first treating their pet like it is my own. And second I treat the house like it is my own also. I want to make sure that the pet I am caring for gets the attention and care he/she needs while the family is away. I am very friendly and love to make connections with new families and their pets.
About: I’ve worked in dog daycares and with dog rescues and shelters. I have 3 years of grooming experience and spend everyday working directly with animals at home. I have several years of grooming experience. I spend every single day with animals of all kinds doing anything from grooming to walking and training. I make sure all animals under my care whether in my home or in yours are comfortable and happy. My full attention is on your pet during their service.
“Lindsay was fantastic. She took great care of our dog while we were out of town. Very reliable - great communication with us and love all the picture updates. It made been away so much easier knowing he was been taken care of so well. Highly recommend her.”
“Our boy LOVES Brooke! She is very attentive and makes sure he does his business every time she comes to let him out. I feel very comfortable with her in my home- always locks the doors cleans up after herself. Broke leaves detailed evaluations with photos of our pup. 100/10!!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my household from the time I was born. I have watched dogs for many members of family and friends and enjoy doing so! Pet care is a positive addition to my weekly routine because I love going on walks, being active, and having fluffy companions to show love to! I offer a safe and loving environment for pets at all times. I live across the street from a park so being active and going on many walks can be expected!
About: Former doggy daycare attendant with 2+ years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m calm, attentive, and big on safety, routine, and communication. Your pet’s comfort and well-being always come first 🐾 I currently work part time starting up my own business, pet sitting is helping me fund my goals! I am available in mornings, and afternoons. 🐕 Experience with group play, feeding schedules, and medication support 🐕 Comfortable with high-energy, shy, senior, and reactive dogs 🐕 Strong understanding of canine body language and safety 🐕 Consistent updates and photos during visits
About: I grew up helping train my grandparents’ corgi, and I still help my sister with her dog when she’s at work — letting him out, feeding him, and taking him for walks. So I’m very comfortable around dogs and can care for them when needed. That said, I naturally connect with cats and prefer working with them, so my services are focused on calm, low‑stress cat care. I work full‑time from home, which gives me a very steady routine and plenty of flexibility for pet care. I can easily step out for feedings, litter scooping, or home check‑ins throughout the day. I build visits around your pet’s normal schedule so they stay comfortable and relaxed. Evenings and weekends are usually open, so I’m able to give consistent attention and keep your pet’s routine running smoothly. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress‑free as possible. I handle feeding, fresh water, litter scooping, and any medications exactly the way you outline. I spend quiet time with your cat so they feel comfortable, whether that means playtime, brushing, or simply sitting nearby while they warm up on their own terms. I can also collect mail or some small house stuff as needed!
About: I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have an animal in my life. From shepherds to terriers, I have experience with large, medium, and small dogs. I also have experience caring for cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve trained my own dogs, cared for foster puppies, and have experience handling pets with different needs and temperaments. I’m very open to feedback, learn quickly, and always strive to provide the best care possible. When you book with me, you can expect meaningful, attentive, and reliable care for your pet. Your fur baby will have my full attention, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. Rain or shine, I will show up and give every pet the patience, attention, and care they deserve! Over the summer I am working fully from home. Which means I have an open schedule to care for your pets. I am open from morning to night. I can do daily visits, weekly visits, and more. When house sitting for your pets, I prioritize a respectful and responsible approach. I value clear boundaries in my own life, so I make it a point to treat your home and privacy with that same high level of integrity. I’m fully open to your specific rules and feedback, and I’ll keep you connected with consistent updates so you never have to wonder how things are going.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Waterford
Alicia was absolutely awesome! She came to do a meet and greet a few days before our trip and we knew instantly she was a good fit for our pups. She gave us great updates with the cutest photos; we felt very confident that our doggies were being taken good care of while we were away. Would highly recommend her!
Erin does a great job! She's responsive, reliable, and genuinely cares about my pets. I always feel comfortable knowing they're in good hands with her. I also appreciate that she has veterinary experience, which gives me extra confidence in the care she provides. I highly recommend her!
Erin is very kind and loving with our dog. She is respectful of our home, punctual and communicative during her visits with photos and updates. I have requested her several times for drop ins and would definitely recommend her. She deserves the 5 star rating!
Kira did an amazing job watching my dog, Callie! This was my first time using Rover, and she made the whole experience really easy and stress-free. She was great with communication and clearly cared a lot about Callie’s comfort and well-being. Callie can be a little shy at first, but Kira was patient and kind, and Callie warmed up to her quickly. It was clear that she was in good hands the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and the care she put into making sure everything went smoothly. I would absolutely recommend Kira to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and I would definitely book with her again!
Natasha D. is such a dog lover. Mertz adores her. She actually pays attention to my dog and isn’t on her phone the entire visit. She’s engaging and plays with him!! I would highly recommend her! I was looking for a Freind for him too not just a body to let him out and pee! Natasha D. Is it!! 😊

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Waterford stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
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 Waterford 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Waterford with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
