“Lacy was so great with our pups while we were out all day/night for our daughter's wedding. She came on time, was very responsive leading up to the day and was communicative throughout the day as well. We will definitely be repeat customers of hers!”
“I’d leave Cayla 10 stars if I could. She took exceptional care of our anxious shepherd. She was very thoughtful of his nervousness and made him feel at ease. She had excellent communication as well, I didn’t worry at all about our boy.”
“Repeat customer! I just love Emily! She is so sweet and kind to my cat, Oliver. She always sends photos and updates so I can see how he's doing. Oliver loves her, which makes my vacations worry free! Thank you!”
“This was our first appointment on Rover and couldn’t be happier! Krysten was great, she sent us photos and updates during the visit. Can’t wait to rebook with her!!”
About: I had 2 cats and a dog growing up! No pets currently but happy to play and take care of yours! Currently cannot watch any pets at my home but happy to complete as many home visits as necessary as long as you are relatively close by:) I am not currently working full time and my schedule is fairly flexible. I am happy to discuss any extra care needed for your pet. I am happy to follow specific instructions/feeding schedules as needed. I will also completed any necessary home care tasks as wanted as long as discussed prior.
About: I have had dogs as pets since a child and love animals of any kind. I have cared for dogs and cats along with dog walking for many years, including puppies and reactive dogs. I have a reactive dog myself and have experience walking and caring for reactive and anxious dogs. I have experience with a prong collar. Your pet will be my main focus and priority and I will love them like my own. I am currently a stay at home mom and can be flexible with my schedule. Just let me know what you are looking for and I can make arrangements. I take care of animals like they are my own, they will have all of my focus and attention and love. Drop in visits and walking services available.
About: I've had cats my entire life and have volunteered at an animal shelter. While I only have one cat now, I've cared in-depth for dogs, reptiles, rabbits, and other small mammals. I've helped care for a senior pet that needed regular meds and frequent reprieves for bladder control. I have a full time job, so I am able to care for your pets first thing in the mornings before I go to work and then after I am finished with my workday, so if your pet is used to the normal 8-5 hours of being alone, I’m a perfect fit for your family! I am familiar with socialization, crate training, daily activity, and all-around love that is required for dogs and cats. I am no stranger to the more hands-off needs of a small mammal or scaled friend, and am comfortable handling all sorts of pets. I am respectful of a client's home and will treat it as if it were my own. I do ask that I can adjust the temperature and that I will be comfortable staying in your home.
“Tami was always right on time. All of my animals were comfortable with her. She did a great job with all of them. This was the first time we have left our fur babies with someone they didn't already know. We were nervous but now we are at ease as long as Tami is available.”
“Kam did a great job checking in on our cat over the Thanksgiving holiday. She responded to our request for a cat sitter very quickly. We loved that she spent time with our cat — that made us feel much better that we had chosen the right person to take care of him. When we need a cat sitter, we will be contacting Kam again!”
“Brandi is amazing cat sitter, our cats love her. When we came back after long trip, I feel like both of my cats didn’t feel we were gone at all. Thanks to her again. Definitely ask her to check our cats again in the future.”
About: Not home enough to give your dog attention and care? As a pet lover myself I understand the difficulty of finding someone who will care for your pets and respect your home. I will not only treat your pets as if they are my own, but I will give them the love and undivided attention that they deserve and need. I am very energetic and I love to stay busy. I love nature so I am always willing to explore and venture out, I love being outdoors and I am pretty flexible with my time during the days/evenings I have past experience working at my mother-in-laws veterinary clinic as well as having animals of my own. While you're away let me stay and pamper your pup!
“Emily was wonderful! She was incredibly communicative, flexible, and kind to my kitties. With each visit, she sent wonderful updates and silly photos and went above and beyond to make them comfortable.”
About: I have had a dog in my life since I was in the third grade. I now have 4 dogs of my own and foster for a local rescue, which means I have taken care of dogs of all ages I currently work Monday - Friday until 3:30 PM and am available after that. Weekends are usually free for anytime care as my job does not require me to work weekends. I do not have a fenced in yard but we do have a portion of the property that is far from the road and boxed in by trees. My dogs are friendly and love to run around and play.
About: I am a licensed substance abuse counselor in-training and I have taken care of animals of all kinds - dogs/puppies, cats/kittens, horses, chickens, parrots (parakeets, macaws, lovebirds), fish, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc.! I have done pet sitting and dog walking on the side for many years. My mother is a veterinarian and has her own business as a veterinary behaviorist, so I have a lot of knowledge in animal care and behavior. Since I recently got a job, I am no longer available during the week, but I am still able to do drop-in visits and walks on Saturdays! (No later than 3pm) For drop-ins, I always make sure to take ample time to play with the animal and spend as much time with them as possible. Being the daughter of a veterinarian/veterinary behaviorist, I know all about body language and how to tell if your dog is scared or uncomfortable and how to handle it, as well as how to safely handle a situation where I am approached by an unfriendly dog while walking another dog.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire childhood and in my adult life that I love but I couldn’t wait to have a dog of my own to take care of and train. I have a rotating 48/96 schedule at work that allows me to have multiple different days off throughout the week. Jason works from home so he is always available to your pets for boarding and doggy day care. We have one very friendly and loving Goldendoodle that would love for other dogs to play with him. He loves going to the dog park so that would be available throughout the day as well. We are also able to crate your dog if necessary.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waterford
Cayla was amazing! I have a temperamental bloodhound and he was stubborn upon the first drop in visit. Cayla handled him like a champ and went out of her way to win him over. I appreciate the extra effort and updates she gave me during each visit. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Waterford on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,747 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Waterford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 Waterford. On Rover:
- 93% 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.
