“Sadie did a great job with Cozmo. He is a big dog that has a lot of energy and is always looking for attention. This was her first time meeting him and she went over and above to create a friendship by playing with him and even taking for a ride for a pup cup. I will be hoping to book Sadie the next time I need a dog sitter!”

“Kristy was pet-sitter to our 15 year old cat for two weeks. We lost his brother a short time ago, so we were particularly worried about being away from him for so long. He also requires medication twice a day. Kristy has been brilliant. Lloyd is a little skittish but we have come home and clearly he is extremely settled. She quickly observed his little quirks and has managed him very well. We were overseas but have had no difficulty communicating. Kristy is very prompt and reliable. She has left our home cleaner than when she arrived. We are so thankful that she was available for our little man and would hope that she is available to help us out in the future. Thank you Kristy.”

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.

“If I could have given Rebecca more stars I would have. I was leaving my almost 16 yr old dog for a week (a vacation booked a year in advance and to be honest I didn't think I would need a pet sitter) . Chance has mobility and cognitive issues and we hadn't been apart overnight from each other in years. Rebecca came and met myself and Chance. She was very open and asked questions to understand Chance's needs and my wants in terms of care. She was FANTASTIC!!! She was meticulous about his schedule and care. I told her if she had any ideas to improve his life to let me know and she did have a few suggestions that have helped. She stayed in touch with texts and pictures throughout the week. My house was in as good if not better condition than when I left. Chance gained back the 2 pounds he had recently lost before the trip as well as an extra pound. I can't recommend Rebecca highly enough. She truly cares and loves your pet as if they are her own. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again.”

I have worked with a rescue the past few years and have helped nurse back to health and find homes for multiple cats and dogs of all ages. I’d love to help take care of your pet!

I am a stay at home homeschooling mom with a 13 year old and an 9 year old. We all love pets and can give your pet the attention needed while you’re gone.

About: Hi! I’m Kel, and I’m an experienced, dependable pet sitter who genuinely loves getting to know every animal’s unique personality. I’ve been caring for pets for family, friends, and clients since I was a teenager, and pet sitting has always been something I’ve found incredibly rewarding. I know that leaving your pets in someone else’s care can be stressful, so my goal is to make the experience as comfortable and worry free as possible—for both you and your pets. I’m attentive to routines, personalities, and individual needs, whether that means an energetic dog who needs plenty of playtime, a senior pet who prefers a slower pace, or a shy cat who needs a little extra patience to feel comfortable. I currently share my home with my cats, Rosemary, Cheezel, Wasabi, and my Great Pyrenees, Marsha.. They’ve taught me plenty about the joys, quirks, and occasional chaos that come with having pets! I’m responsible, patient, communicative, and attentive to detail. I’ll treat your pets, your home, and your instructions with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐾 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to build pet care into my daily routine and give each visit the time and attention it deserves. I’m able to plan my day around scheduled drop-ins, walks, and house visits rather than rushing from one appointment to the next. I’m comfortable working with different routines and can follow your pet’s normal feeding, medication, play, and bathroom schedules as closely as possible. I understand that consistency is especially important , so I make an effort to keep their routine familiar while you’re away. I also make communication a priority and will keep you updated with messages and photos throughout my visits. My goal is to make caring for your pets a reliable part of my routine while giving you peace of mind that they’re getting the attention and care they need. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where I can keep pets in the environment they know and feel comfortable in. I believe staying in their own space helps reduce stress, especially for cats who can be sensitive to changes in their surroundings. During each visit, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions as closely as possible. This can include feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, enrichment, walks, and medication or other special needs as discussed. I’ll take the time to interact with your pet based on their personality—whether they want lots of attention and playtime or prefer a quieter visit with some gentle companionship. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, or anything else that seems unusual. If I notice something concerning, I’ll contact you promptly rather than assuming it’s normal. I’ll treat your home with care and respect, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and other household pets. I’ve cleaned fish tanks and reptile enclosures, given baths, maintained feeding schedules, provided exercise, administered basic medications when instructed, and cared for both puppies and senior pets. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every animal like family, always prioritizing their safety, comfort, happiness, and individual needs. As an entrepreneur, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate my clients’ needs. Whether you need morning, afternoon, evening, weekend, or holiday care, I can often adjust my availability. I prioritize reliability, communication, and consistency, ensuring your pets receive dependable, personalized care that fits seamlessly into your routine. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm, structured environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions, maintain their normal routines, and ensure doors, gates, tanks, and enclosures are secure at all times. I keep spaces clean, provide close supervision when needed, and make sure every pet feels comfortable and stress-free. If you would like, I am happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand for your personal peace of mind, so you can feel confident knowing your fur baby or scaly reptilian is in good hands.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I used to go over to my neighbors house to play with their German Shepard before finally convincing my parents to get a dog of our own. I play with and love on all the dogs in my neighborhood (6) whenever I see them. Dogs bring me so much happiness and I truly can’t imagine my life without them. For the past 7 years, I have dog sat/house sat for family and friends, to make sure the dog does not experience stress from leaving home and taking care of mail and garage days for their peace of mind as well. I have stayed and watched dogs for over a week while they were on vacation, or for their simple weekend get away. I enjoy staying in with the dogs and getting some good cuddles. I have experience giving on time and correct medication to 3 dogs, as well as keeping consistent to their diet and feeding schedule. I do work full time but I enjoy spending my weekends relaxing and being around dogs, whether that will be your dog, or just my neighbors dogs. When staying at your home, I will abide by any and all rules you have for you dog, down to the T. I will treat your dog as my own and treat your house with respect as I would hope someone would mine. I, personally, feel it’s important to stay with the dog the whole time I am with them so I often do not leave the home, as a comfort to the dog(s) and to the owners to know someone is always there.

Erin is a gem. My dogs and I are so glad we found her. Her demeanor was calm and reassuring from our first meeting and throughout her stay with my dogs. Erin asked about what my dogs’ daily routine was like so she could continue with it while I was away. I loved getting updates and pictures twice a day. Also when I got back home my house was neat as a pin. Thank you Erin for keeping me at ease while being away from my furry kids.

Kristy was pet-sitter to our 15 year old cat for two weeks. We lost his brother a short time ago, so we were particularly worried about being away from him for so long. He also requires medication twice a day. Kristy has been brilliant. Lloyd is a little skittish but we have come home and clearly he is extremely settled. She quickly observed his little quirks and has managed him very well. We were overseas but have had no difficulty communicating. Kristy is very prompt and reliable. She has left our home cleaner than when she arrived. We are so thankful that she was available for our little man and would hope that she is available to help us out in the future. Thank you Kristy.

Jennifer was really great ! We have 2 senior dogs ( 15 & 14 years old ) This was the 1st time we tried Rover and I have to say it was very positive. She kept in touch with us and if there were any questions ( just a couple ) she got in touch with us. Also sent pictures through out our trip. Senior dogs can be trying at times but she handled it like a pro. Would strongly recommend Jennifer , she really goes the extra mile ! Anyone can drop in and check on your dogs, but Jen goes the extra mile and really puts your mind at ease. Thanks so much for CARING for our pets, when the need arises, she will be our first request at Rover !

This was our first time using Brooke to watch both our dog and cat in our home. Unfortunately, the day before we were leaving, the dog became sick. We had to get an urgent care appointment the morning of our departure. Needless to say, I was very anxious leaving him with someone I’d just met, and he didn’t know. He was put on 5 different medications and ointments, so I contacted Brooke. She assured me that she had no problem handling the treatments. For the next week, she checked in daily, and taking care of all of our pets needs. I returned to a spotless home and two healthy fur babies! Brooke is excellent! I would confidently recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Waterford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Waterford is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $89 per night. 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 2,032 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Waterford. 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 Waterford 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 Waterford 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 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!

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.

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 .

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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Waterford. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
