“We were so happy to have Devika stay in our home with our dog Lucy while we attended a wedding! Devika was very responsive and sent lots of photos of Lucy which I appreciated. She was available on short notice and left our house in great shape. Thank you Devika!!”
“Cannot recommend Traci enough. She takes such great care of Sandy while we are away, and always sends updates and photos. It's so comforting to know that Sand is well taken care of and loved while we're gone. And, Traci goes above and beyond -- like taking Sandy for a very long walk right before we got home, knowing that our bodies were still on European time and we'd be exhausted by the time we stepped foot in the door.”
About: I have years of experience dog sitting large breed puppies and senior dogs. I am comfortable administering medication to animals. Additionally, I have significant experience caring for service dogs. I am a recent graduate with an abundance of free time, particularly over the summer. Other than the infrequent trip, I am available 7 days a week for pet care! I treat your home with the upmost respect, leaving as clean or cleaner than when I arrived. Additionally, I value your privacy and will maintain professionalism at all times.
“Nicole is great! I needed last minute overnight help over a holiday weekend and Nicole was about to accommodate my request. She shared lots of pictures during the 24 hr period.”
“We were so reassured having Emily stay in our house with Lola while we were away overnight. She took great care of Lola and we won’t hesitate to call on her again in the future!”
“Kathleen was incredible. She was attentive, communicative, and most importantly, she took phenomenal care of Bodie while giving him plenty of exercise. It is great to be able to travel stress free knowing our boy is in good hands.”
About: I have babysat: 1) a medium sized 50 lb hound mix dog for a month at a time every year for 13 years (over the course of its life time from when she was a puppy to death) whose personality was very energetic and anxious. It needed a lot of exercise everyday, stimulated play, and long walks which I happily enjoyed! But she also needed to be watched carefully to ensure she didn’t scare anybody by playfully jumping on them. She would tug a lot during walks and would get excited seeing other dogs but I’ve always managed to calmly steer her away if aggression showed or if the other person or dog she was meeting showed signs of being uncomfortable. This dog always stayed at my place when I babysat her. Made sure she was fed on time twice a day and provided fresh water everyday. 2) two cats at a month at a time for the past 5 years. Stayed at the owner’s place every time. Had to be fed at certain times twice a day, gave them treats throughout the day and attention whenever they requested it. Sometimes I would initiate the contact but if the cats weren’t feeling it, they would communicate it and I would stop. They were indoor cats so I also made sure that any windows that were open were secure and they couldn’t slip through. Had no issues of escaped cats. 3) an energetic 8 year old pomsky and an 18 yr old cat for 10 days. House-sat the owner’s place the entire time where I had to walk the dog 4 times every day at a set schedule and feed them both & provide medication to the cat at set times. The Pomsky was very energetic so also took the time during the afternoon to play with her when she had the zoomies. And have the cat tummy rubs and butt scratches whenever she requested it. 4) a large 50 lb, 2 year old, Old English Sheepdog (named Cura). House-sat & dog-sat Cura for 10 days in Los Angeles, CA. Highly energetic who needed a lot of exercise everyday. Very obedient and could be taken off leash. But I always establish a level of trust and learn the dog’s mannerisms before taking them off leash in the park or around the apartment/house block. Cura also had a tendency to be scared of aggressive dogs or loud noises so I always maintained a level of reassurance and safety with her. Also had to be aware of the high temperatures in LA (given the summer time), hence I’d walk her early in the morning and late at night. 5) a 5 yr old, 25 lb, hound whippet mixed dog named Phoebe - house sat and babysat her for 12 days. Highly anxious who needed to be administered an anxiety pill every morning and needed constant attention and long walks. 6) Cats - 3 different cats from 3 different owners in San Francisco (Uno, Missy Elliot, and Fran). Took the time to get to know each of them and played with them / gave them company while cleaning out their litter box, refreshing their water bowls, and making sure they had food. Also planned my schedule so that I could travel between the places efficiently and was in communication with the owners at all times and they knew about my schedule. 7) A small 5 year old mixed poodle (named Cappy) in San Francisco who loved to cuddle! Took him out for walks twice a day, made sure he had food & water, and kept him company for 10 days while house-sitting. 8) 2 cats (Jackie & Cannoli) in New York for 18 days, plus house-sat. One was affectionate and loved to cuddle all the time, the other was more cautious and was very talkative. 9) Hamsters - babysat them for a week at a time for friends whenever they went out of town. Fed and cleaned the box. Would occasionally bring it out of its cage to let it roam around the room in its ball. 10) I have my own pet - a red eared slider turtle who I claim to be my aquatic dog 😉. He is 18 years old and I got him when he was just the size of a quarter. But he gets excited to see me whenever I enter the room and will follow me in the apartment when I let him out to walk around. He can also recognize me out of a group of people! 11) I have a ton of plants that I have grown in the past 6 years - huge monstera (from a 1 foot baby to now a 7 ft giant with 30 inch wide leaves), verraccusum, constellation monstera, cacti, pothos, glorosium, etc. I’m currently unemployed (taking a hiatus from being an accountant in the corporate world) so I have all the time to take care of your pet(s). Available anytime to feed, walk, play, and assist in providing medication. I have a pet turtle that I’ve had for 18 years that I have by a sunny window. But every other day, I’ll let him out in the apartment to walk around and explore (but he will often just follow me around😊). I currently live in an apartment that doesn’t allow dogs or cats so over the last few years, I’ve always taken care of pets at the owner’s place. Either living at their place or coming to their place at set times to feed and/or walk their pets.
“Renee was attentive and consistent with her updates on Aurora. She provided all we asked for: food updates, picture updates and texts about how the visit was. We will definitely hire again in future!”
“Thanks so much Daniella for taking care of our dog Aspen and our cat Amari. We appreciated the daily updates, pics, and videos to check in with us and your responsiveness was top notch! We look forward to working with you again in the near future and would recommend you without reservations. Thank you again!💜”
“Hanna was my first overnight sitter for Clementine! She was very thorough in updates and made accommodations to work from home with Clementine while I was away. I would highly recommend her and will use her again in the future!”
“Our family was away for 10 days and Jess took fantastic care of our dog Penny. Penny is a bit standoffish but she cuddled right up to Jess. She took Penny on walks, played with her in the backyard and took her to the park. Would highly recommend.”
“This is our second time working with Betsy and she has been amazing. Our dog gets excited when she comes through the door. We return to a house that is clean and organized. She is the best and I highly recommend!”
“Sabina was wonderful! Made friends with our reactive dog very quickly! She also took care of him during a power outage, and we are so grateful. We came back to a happy and relaxed lil guy!”
“Maddie provided a safe loving environment for my little dog, Lucia! She also went beyond just taking care of her by sending me daily updates & photos- which made me very happy since this was the longest I'd ever been away from her. Maddie also helped out with moving cars due to some ongoing street work requiring them to be moved while I was away. Highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”
“Julia was an amazing sitter for Clancy. Since Clancy is a puppy, Julia was very attentive to ensuring he stayed on his schedule and did not get away with bad behavior. It was very clear she had extensive experience taking care of and training dogs. Highly recommend Julia if you are ever looking for a sitter.”
“Alexander was amazing! He was very caring towards our dogs and our apartment. He followed our instructions and was very good at keeping us updated with messages and pictures. One of our dogs had a medical emergency right before our trip and he was quick to adapt to her needs and willing to administer medication. He was on top of reaching out for any issues and we felt like our dogs were in very good hands. We’d love to book with him again for our next trip!”
“Marcy was a terrific sitter for Jasper! She took great care of him as well as our house while we were away. Marcy was a good communicator with us, sending us daily pics and updates, and she matched Jasper's vibe perfectly. I'd be happy to have her sit with him again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waverley
Kristine is an amazing pet sitter! She has watched our dog and two cats, all of whom are older and require medications, multiple times and she always does a wonderful job. The pets love her, even our shy tortoiseshell. Kristine is wonderful with our older, diabetic dog, Elsie, who needs a lot of extra care, both in terms of her medications and emotional support! :) The house is always immaculate when we get home too. Thank you, Kristine!
We used Nicole again to care for our two small Maltese dogs while we were away on a two-week vacation in Europe, and she was absolutely wonderful! She is incredibly caring, responsible, and attentive, and we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such good hands. Nicole provided us with daily updates and photos, took them on walks every day, and gave them plenty of love and attention. When their tummies were a little upset, she even made them rice and took extra care to make sure they were feeling better. One of the biggest reasons we love having Nicole stay with them is that our dogs can remain comfortable in their own home, where they feel safe and aren't stressed by being in an unfamiliar environment. She took wonderful care of both our dogs and our home. Being so far away for two weeks, we couldn't have been more relieved knowing they were happy, comfortable, and getting all the attention and care they needed. We came home to two very happy pups! We would absolutely recommend Nicole and wouldn't hesitate to have her care for our dogs again. Thank you, Nicole! ❤️
J was amazing with our boy Chase. We chose her for her obvious experience with cats and administering meds. She updated us every day with pics and notes and was able to attend to him when his eye condition acted up. We felt so comfortable leaving him in her excellent care. He took to her right away❤️ We will absolutely be contacting her again in the future!!
Eveline did amazing with Tuxy! She was very responsive and kept up communication / updates. Tuxy was super happy when I got home and I could tell he was well taken care of. Also, Eveline was extremely tidy around the apartment and took care of some chores she didn’t have to do - above and beyond!
Bianca was a great dogsitter and housesitter while we were gone for the weekend! She came over beforehand to meet Goose and asked lots of questions to make sure she was fully prepared. We got plenty of updates during the stay, and we felt like Goose was in good hands the entire time.
Madeleine cared for Piper for a week while we were away. She communicated with us daily exclusively through the Rover app, providing updates and photos. Piper was eating and going on walks, which usually means that she is comfortable and not super anxious. I would have Madeleine back again.
We have a very high energy ACD mix and Danielle was amazing with him!! He can be a bit standoffish at first but he quickly took on Danielle (and her dog Moose) as part of his pack. She sent tons of pictures and updates and was incredibly responsive both to our messages and to Griggs’ needs. She went above and beyond to make our dog comfortable and cater to our needs. It’s tough to find a good sitter and we will definitely be reaching out to Danielle again in the future. Also, her dog Moose is so sweet and we were impressed with how he handled and interacted with our rambunctious pup.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Waverley on Rover is $51.73 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 6,666 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Waverley. 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 Waverley 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 Waverley 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 Waverley 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 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 .
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Waverley. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
