About: I’ve had dogs in my life for many years, and I’ve also helped care for my aunt’s dogs, who she groomed professionally. My patient and gentle nature allows me to connect with dogs of all personalities — from energetic pups to shy or nervous ones. I’m attentive to routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or basic training reinforcement. I follow instructions closely and am happy to help with commands, leash manners, or gentle encouragement for anxious dogs. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own — with kindness, respect, and plenty of love, so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care is an important part of my daily life, and I make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they need. I plan walks, visits, and playtime around your pet’s routine, and I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medication, and enrichment activities. I’m available most days after 3 PM, and all day on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I’m happy to work with your schedule and can adjust for regular visits or last-minute needs whenever possible, ensuring your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I provide loving, attentive care in your pet’s own home, following your routines and instructions closely. I offer walks, playtime, enrichment, and medication if needed, making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
About: I have always had a dog or cat in my life. Growing up and now I have two dogs of my own who I adore and love! I also have been a dog walker/nanny for two dogs for the past 4 years. One of these dogs was a puppy too. I have a pretty open schedule. I have a few open days a week and don’t mind driving to take care of pets. I am also open to stopping by before and/or after I get off at my other job! I have two dogs and take care of them like they are my kids! They follow me around the house and need constant attention that i love to give them. I will take care of my clients pet however they normally take care of them and follow their routine!
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.
“Delanie is so sweet and was an instant connection with our sweet boy! She's very affectionate with him and takes great care of him! We appreciate her knowing we don't have to worry about him while we're out!”
“Riann and Bella took to each other right away. Riann came on time every day, played with and fed Bella. All went well and I was pleased with everything Riann did. She even set me cute pictures everyday.”
“Rachael took awesome care of my fur babies while I was out of town. She sent picture updates and made me feel that my pets were well cared for and in good hands! She is very sweet and I would definitely have her check in on my animals again! Thank you :)”
About: Hi, I’m Anna! I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience helping care for both cats and dogs. I’ve house sat for friends and family and usually help out when someone needs an extra hand with their pets. I work part-time as a server (about 3 days a week), so I have plenty of flexibility the rest of the week, and I’d love to spend some of that time with your furry friend! On the days I do work, I’m happy to be upfront about my schedule so we can figure out together what works best for your pet’s needs. Whether your pet’s outgoing or a little shy, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m available every day including mornings, afternoons, and evenings so I can easily work around your pet’s usual routine. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just some company, I’ve got the time and flexibility to be there when you need me. I’m reliable, respectful, and always make sure your pet feels comfortable in their space. I’ll take time to build trust with them, follow any care instructions you give me, and make sure your home is locked up and just as you left it when I go.
“Arden took great care of my two cats while I was away. She gave them lots of love and attention and made me feel at ease, leaving them for the first time. I would definitely recommend her to take care of your fur babies!”
“Autumn did a great job dropping in on our young cat while we were away for 2 nights. This was our first real trip leaving him home, and her updates after each visit we’re so helpful. She even dragged my husband’s golf clubs inside when they showed up 3 days earlier than they were supposed to be delivered ? We will definitely use her service again whenever we have to travel without Zeus.”
About: Growing up we have always had pets! So I would always be the one to let the dogs out potty and fill the food bowls. Along with giving them all sorts of attention! I am currently enrolled at Mott Community College in the online program therefore I will have all the time to play with your pets and make sure they are cared for! I don’t have a fenced in yard, but there is plenty of space for your dog to go for walks and have a fun time. I don’t have any dogs, just one cat who is very friendly and doesn’t mind the company.
“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!”
“An excellent experience from start to finish. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and very responsible with feeding and playtime. We received regular updates - photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We felt completely confident that our cat was in good hands. Would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!”
“I can't say enough positive things about Christina! She was reliable, conscientious, and provided exceptional care for my two cats, one of whom has special needs. She provided daily updates so I could rest assured that my fur babies were doing well while I was away. Whether you have cats, dogs, or other pets, I highly recommend Christina as a top-notch caregiver. Your pets will thank you for it...and you will thank Christina!”
About: After spending 15 wonderful years taking care of my beagle Bailey, I know how important it is to find someone who will love and care for your dog as much as you do. I’m currently earning my Master’s degree online in Mental Health Counseling while completing clinical work, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m able to dedicate quality time to walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding routines, and companionship. I’m reliable, organized, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in an apartment community with a dedicated dog park just a short walk from my home, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment. I also have access to my mother’s home, which features a large fenced yard and pool area with no resident pets, offering additional space for supervised outdoor play if appropriate. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and preferences to ensure every pet receives personalized care and attention.
“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.”

Because of the volume of bookings I’m currently only accepting long term stays. Has to be a minimum of 3 days. My schedule is wide open so every minute will be spend making sure your best friend gets the proper care it needs. I’m also available to pick pets up to and from vet visits.

Plenty of time for cuddles. At the moment I do not offer daycare, however if I stay in your home, I always make sure I leave it how I found it.
About: My whole life I've grown up with animals and love being around them. I am a welcomer of all breeds and will love your pup like my own! My husband is in the service so I am home full time. i love being outside so walks and outside activities are a go! I'll make your dog feel as comfortable as possible in the comfort of my own home while you are away or even at your house. Any special requirement that you may have I am happy to accommodate. I myself have a mini and standard Australian Shepherd(s) that are very friendly with other dogs and love to play.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Waterford
Claire took excellent care of Merlin! We’re very happy with the care and attention she gave him during both visits. She took him outside for potty breaks, walked him, played with him, and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and kept us updated throughout the day, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely trust Claire with Merlin again and highly recommend her! 🐾
I would highly recommend Alicia for your pet sitting needs she was amazing with our fur baby! She followed all our instructions and she provided regular updates with pictures that gave us a sense of comfort. She even went above and beyond making sure an important package I received while away was securely placed in the house. I would definitely hire Alicia again if I'm ever in need of services for my pet!
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!

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 Waterford 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.
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 .
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.
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.

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.
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.
