“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!!”
“Emily was absolutely fantastic!! She took incredible care of my lab Dixie, sending me a pup-date every day letting me know how she was doing :) She also left my place spotless. I will definitely re-book Emily for future dog-sitting!”
“Kathleen was an amazing sitter! Both my dog and my cat absolutely loved her. She sent a lot of photos and updates, which is very appreciated as I got to see what they were up to throughout the day. When I got back the house was spotless and our pets were tuckered out from playing with her. Would definitely book with her again.”
“100% recommend. Best, best friend ever! Annette was delightful to work with. She was punctual, attentive and organized. She stayed with our pups for full 4 days and she was always in touch and feeding the animals the right medications and meals. On top of that she was organized and clean. Lastly, what we enjoyed the most is that our dogs seemed very happy and relaxed with her. She is a true find and look forward to working with her in the near future.”
“Maeli is always amazing with Jai Alai and we appreciate her willingness to stay in our home and keep her in her familiar surroundings. We’re so grateful that she’s been able to take care of our pup!”
“Elizabeth was so great & easy to work with when we booked her a little last minute to watch our dog. She was super responsive, flexible, and took great care of our Winnie!”
“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!”
“Nicole was a lifesaver, our doggy developed some stomach issues right before my planned trip and Nicole was able to take care of her and even help me get her to her vet and start a care plan while I was away. Safe to say that she has my complete trust with my dog and there’s no one I would recommend more!”
“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!💜”
About: From family pets and friends' pets to having a dog of my own, I have had the pleasure of spending time with some pretty incredible animals. Born and bred in Boston and a true lover of New England, your animals could not be in better hands. I pride myself on hard work and determination, so rest assured you will come home to a very tired and happy family member. Caring for your animal is my utmost priority. Whether you need short or long visits, I will quickly become a trusted provider of animal care and your pet’s new best friend. Caring for your animal is my utmost priority.

I am happy to set the alarm, lock the door or anything in between to insure maximum safety of your prized possessions.
“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!”
“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!”
“Laura was wonderful! She took excellent care of our chihuahua 5 month old puppy. He is a lot of work but she took it in stride and spent tons of time with him. She also sent lots of pictures and updates along the way, which I appreciated. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Anya did a great job taking care of my cat, Potato, while I was gone for the week. She always showed up on time and kept me updated on how he was doing. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waverley
We had such a wonderful experience with Kayla! She took incredible care of our pets, Winston and Brady, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Brady has a few health needs, and Kayla handled everything with such attentiveness and care—it truly meant the world to us. Winston absolutely adored her as well, and it was clear they were both comfortable, happy, and so well loved. We came home to two very content pets and a home that was just as we left it. Kayla kept us updated, was incredibly thoughtful, and truly went above and beyond in every way. We would trust her again in a heartbeat and can’t recommend Kayla highly enough!
Britney was amazing. She saved us at the last minute when our dog sitting plans fell through right before a 9 day trip. She stayed at our home, took Simba on multiple daily walks, and gave him lots of love. She was highly communicative and responsive to all of my many inquires about Simba. Britney went above and beyond, watering our gardens, washing sheets, and making beds. She left our house in pristine condition and most importantly, kept Simba happy and loved during our time away. I would hire her again in a heartbeat, and I recommend her highly!
Amazing as always! We all are big fans of Kathleen’s, over and over repeat customers. She’s done a great week of house sitting for our puppy and a cat, and I couldn’t be more comfortable with her thorough reports, being responsive and reliable. Needless to say, she’s our person of choice whenever we need an eye for our furry kids. Much much grateful 🙏
Nicole did a fabulous job with my animals (dog and cat) and left the home in a great state. She was able to arrange a quick meet n greet when my first sitter fell through at the last minute. She also was great with giving my dog some medication. Would definitely book again.
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.
We've had Natalia walking our doggo Maxie for 1.5 years now, and we are very happy our precious boy has her love and attentive care. She has watched him in our house twice so far when we've been away, and it's great to not have to worry about leaving him behind because we are so confident in her. She also takes care of packages etc. and is generally a thoughtful and responsible person. I couldn't recommend her more!
Wonderful, trustworthy sitter! She stayed in my apartment with my dog Milo for a weekend and everything went great! I appreciated all of the picture updates which gave me peace of mind. She also left my space very neat when she left. I know my fur baby was well taken care of. I will absolutely rebook!
J spent time learning about each cat before staying overnight with them. In addition to our very social cat Squeaky, she connected with our shy cats on her first visit. J also gave our senior cat Marmalade two medications. I highly recommend for overnight pet care.
We had a fantastic experience with Christina! She took great care of Benny(80lb pitbull meatball) while we were away and followed every instruction exactly as requested. She kept us updated with thoughtful messages and plenty of great photos, which gave us peace of mind without ever feeling excessive or disruptive. Most importantly, Benny absolutely loved her, and it was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for a. Christina will be our go-to moving forward and I will absolutely recommend her to to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter! Christina, thanks for being amazing!
Marcy was absolutely excellent! She was incredibly kind, professional, and kept us updated throughout our trip with plenty of messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. She followed all of our instructions carefully, including giving medication with meals to one of our dogs, and everything was handled perfectly. When we got home, it was obvious our dogs had been well cared for. They were happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time. The house was spotless too. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Marcy again. Highly recommend!
We were very happy with Julia staying over to take care of our cat. She responded promptly to my emails/texts, sent us daily updates and photos during her stay, and was generally very easy and pleasant to deal with. We'll definitely use her services again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Waverley on Rover is $47.18 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 6,724 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.

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.
