“I’m so glad I found Sandy! I was hesitant about taking my dog to daycare because she can be very reactive when meeting new dogs. Sandy immediately put us at ease. She obviously has a lot of experience with animals and their behavior. My dog loves going to daycare and has even become less reactive on walks and in the car.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy caring for them. I’ve helped foster animals and have experience caring for pets of friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic routines, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. You can count on me to communicate regularly, follow your instructions carefully, and care for your pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in dependable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My dog, Benji, keeps me active with daily walks, playtime, and outdoor activities. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable care, regular potty breaks, exercise, feeding, and plenty of attention to every pet I care for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Benji and I enjoy daily walks and visits to dog parks, and we have the luxury of a large, fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I’ll follow your routines, respect your instructions, provide lots of love and attention, and send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Amber was truly the best person to leave my sweet puppy with for the day! She kept me updated through text with pictures and videos throughout his entire stay, she invited me in when we arrived to give me the assurance of knowing where he would be for the day. Her home was very clean, tidy, and she was inviting to make me more comfortable. My anxiety about leaving him for the day was immediately relieved. Do not hesitate to let her care for your pets!!”
“We had an excellent experience with our Rover sitter and couldn’t be more grateful for the care our dog received. Being over 1,000 miles away from home, peace of mind was incredibly important to us, and they absolutely delivered. From the start, communication was consistent and thoughtful. We received regular updates, photos, and little notes that reassured us our dog was not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and comfortable. It made a huge difference knowing everything back home was running smoothly. Our dog clearly bonded well with them, and it was obvious they treated her like their own. When we returned, she was relaxed, healthy, and in great spirits—which says everything. If you’re looking for someone dependable, attentive, and kind, we would highly recommend them without hesitation. We’ll definitely be booking again.”

About: I’ve cared for my 13-year-old Yorkiepoo since I was a child, so I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies and senior dogs.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Waveland commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 82 sitters in Waveland, 93% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
