“Alyssa went above and beyond taking care of our cats. This was our first time using rover and she exceeded our expectations.

We would definitely use her again!”

About: I'm a huge fan of active dogs, and I love going on walks and playing outside with them. I also have experience with senior pets and in giving medications. I'm a self-employed clinical massage therapist, and am able to adjust my schedule to fulfill whatever needs you or your pets may have, including doing various walks or appointments as needed. I can drive up to any location and keep your pet in a safe and familiar space while I'm taking care of them, as well as make sure your home is maintained well.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and rabbits. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and comfort level. I provide patient, attentive care and treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or simply some extra love and companionship. I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. I can easily fit walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins into my daily routine. Since I’m home throughout most of the day, your pet will receive dependable care, companionship, and lots of attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, and daily routines so your pet feels secure and at ease. I keep doors and gates secured, use a leash whenever required, and provide close supervision during every visit. I will also send regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet and home are being treated with care and respect.
“Amanda is awesome! I’d highly recommend her to anyone. She takes great care of Shay always takes lots of pictures and always let me know what was going on! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!”
About: I've been lucky enough to have dogs my entire life and have experience with all different breeds, sizes, and ages, from puppies to seniors. I currently have a 13-year-old and a 7-year-old, so I'm familiar with the different needs of dogs at various stages of life. I've also helped care for a mama dog and her five puppies after they were born, welcoming them into my home and caring for both mom and puppies until they were all placed in loving homes. I work from home during the week, which gives me some flexibility with my schedule. I'm available for pet care after work on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. I'm happy to work with pet owners to find a schedule that works best for everyone. I understand how it feels to leave your pups in someone else's care, and I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident in that decision. I would treat your pups the same way I would want mine to be treated, with patience, attention, and care. I make it a priority to follow their usual routines, respect their individual needs and personalities, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also believe communication is important, so you can feel at ease while you're away.
About: I've been taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I was kid. I have professional experience with dog and cat boarding, sitting, walking, grooming, daycare, etc. I love animals and cant wait to meet yours. I work from home as a caretaker so my schedule is extremely flexible and there is always someone home to watch any animals we have visiting. I dont have any animals at home at the moment so there's a clean slate for me to focus on any specialized care your pet may need while in my care.
About: Being a dog owner is a constant source of joy and responsibility. The day begins with the enthusiastic welcome of a wagging tail, setting a positive tone. Daily walks are not just exercise but moments of exploration, where every leaf and lamppost become sources of fascination. Mealtime is a celebration, with the rhythmic sound of a tail thumping against the floor. Regular grooming sessions, from brushing to occasional baths, are a shared experience that reinforces our bond. The unconditional love and loyalty reflected in those soulful eyes make the effort of dog care a rewarding and heartwarming commitment. While my days may lack the physicality of a routine, assisting pet owners like you is a constant in my virtual realm. I'm here to offer timely advice on feeding schedules, grooming practices, exercise routines, and any other aspect of pet care you seek guidance on. Think of me as your virtual companion, ready to help integrate the well-being of your furry friends seamlessly into your daily or weekly schedule. Whether it's a quick tip or a detailed plan, I'm just a message away, ensuring that pet care aligns harmoniously with your life. Caring for pets in a home is a harmonious blend of responsibility and joy. It begins with creating a cozy space, where their bed becomes a sanctuary and their favorite toys add a playful touch. Daily routines include nourishing meals, regular walks, and moments of interactive play that forge a strong bond. Grooming sessions become a ritual of care, ensuring their coats shine and nails stay trim. Beyond the basics, it's the shared moments on the couch or a reassuring pat that make a home truly pet-friendly. In every wag of the tail and purr of contentment, the art of caring for pets transforms a house into a haven filled with love and companionship.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waterman
Ashley went above and beyond to provide top notch care to our big "baby boy" while we were away. Her communication and updates each day, along with pictures were on point. Just when we were going to chat her to ask to see how things were, she was already pressing send giving us an update. She treated our boy like one of her own and even introduced him to her pack. We were all for it and glad they enjoyed each other's company and got along well. She even brought in our trash cans after being emptied on trash day. We really appreciated her help.
We’ve booked Solace now 4 or 5 times for drop in visits for our cat Bear and he always enjoys his visits with her! Solace is responsive, detailed and reliable. She always makes our cat feel cared for when we’re away and gives detailed updates and pictures of everything which we always appreciate. Bear says thank you!
Brian took great care of Enzo & Lily while we were away for the weekend! He made sure they received the care and attention they're used to, and kept their schedule as close to normal as possible. I appreciate his reliability, communication, and attention to detail. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. Thanks again!
Kimberly went above and beyond and made sure my kitties were loved while I was away. She's very communicative, friendly, and trustworthy. Even my skiddish kitty felt comfortable with her. She's also an excellent plant mom! My plants look better coming home than when I left!
Emma was awesome, we had her do multiple day time drop ins for about a week. We had a couple of last min modifications and as Rover was able to, she was able to accommodate. We have dogs (great dane and an American Staffordshire terrier), cat, chickens and bunnies and she was able to check on them as well. Very helpful, communication was great and we got pictures for every visit she made.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Waterman is $147 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $147 and $147 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 November 2026, there are 12,224 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Waterman. 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 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 Waterman. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
