“Cierra was fantastic! She sent me daily pictures of Mulata our dog and was very communicative. Very easy going and I highly recommend Cierra. Mulata got a long great with her puppy too so everything was great!”
“I cannot recommend her enough!!! She took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. Provided a warm and loving environment and had a large yard for our dog to run and play. She sent pictures multiple times a day to show us how much love and attention that Pepper received throughout her stay. She was safe and loved and we will rebook Verdrana for every future trip!”
“Sarah was great at watching our two dogs over Christmas, even our large one with anxiety. She also didn't have a problem keeping them on such short notice. Definitely recommend.”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. From growing up with cats and dogs to spending the last four years working with an animal rescue, caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s what drives me. I’ve helped care for rescue animals and pets of all personalities and needs. My goal is always the same: to make every animal feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owner is away. I'm currently working part time. I can be available in the mornings before 8am and most afternoons after 4pm. My working days change, but I am happy to fit what is needed in my schedule. I have a fenced in yard. I do have two friendly dogs whome are kenneled off and on, and 2 cats. I also foster and help care of others animals in their homes and sometimes in mine for periods of time.
“2nd time using Elizabeth and I can stop saying how lovely of a person she is. My partner and I were out of state for the weekend and we were not getting back until later than expected. Elizabeth understood and was able to take Ginny over night again and allowed us to pick her up the next morning before work. It was such a blessing and ease for our travels to not rush home late at night with and added stressor. We love Elizabeth and Ginny loves her too. Elizabeth is kind to sent updates as well to put you at ease. 💕🫶🏼💕”
“Amber is awesome! My pup, Marina, had THE BEST time with Amber!! She was very communicative, easy to work with, and an excellent trustworthy dogsitter. My pup didn’t want to leave she had so much fun! We will definitely be rebooking again real soon!”

“Absolutely — here’s a polished review that sounds warm and genuine: Alisha was absolutely amazing with Teddy! From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was going to be well cared for. She and her family made Teddy feel right at home, and it was clear from the photos that he was comfortable, relaxed, and happy throughout his stay. Alisha was also fantastic about keeping me updated and sending daily photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I truly appreciated the care, attention, and welcoming environment she provided. I would absolutely trust Alisha with Teddy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like part of the family!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Waveland
Our pups had a wonderful stay with Charles! He was accommodating, communicative, and gave them lots of attention and time outside of a kennel. We loved the pictures and updates throughout their stay. Our dogs came home happy and didn’t pick up bad habits. We travel often, and Charles will definitely be our first call for future boarding! Highly recommend!
This is our first time to have someone sit our dog cash. Sandy was wonderful! She had patience, letting him get used to her for babies, and she even let him sleep with her. When we picked him up, he didn’t even get too excited to see us, he had been having so much fun with Sandy. I would definitely recommend having her watch your fur babies for a play date or your next vacation.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Waveland can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Waveland home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Waveland.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Waveland. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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.
You and your Waveland sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MS ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
