“I contacted Emily pretty last minute she was very accommodating and was able to drop in and care for my three monsters. This was my first time using the service so of course I was nervous, she was great really allowed us to relax and enjoy our time knowing our babies were being well cared for. I will definitely use her again and definitely recommend her if you are looking for a reliable sitter. 🐾🐕‍🦺🦮🐶”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, from dogs and cats to farm animals. I’m comfortable with pets of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with feeding, walks, playtime, giving pets attention and companionship, and keeping up with their individual needs. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple animals at once and have experience with livestock from showing sheep, so I’m not afraid of a little extra work! I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, and I enjoy making pet care a regular part of my day. I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, feeding, and giving your pets the attention they need. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I want you to feel completely at ease while you’re away. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, favorite activities, and any special instructions so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. In your home, I will respect your space, carefully follow your instructions, keep food and water areas clean, maintain litter box cleanliness, and make sure doors and windows are secure. I’m mindful of potential hazards and will never take unnecessary risks with your pet’s safety. I also understand that cats need patience and space to adjust, so I’ll let them approach me at their own pace rather than forcing interaction. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and messages while you’re away. I want you to enjoy your time away knowing your cat is safe, comfortable, and receiving attentive, loving care. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were part of my own family and every home with the same respect I would expect for my own..

About: Hi! I’m Jay, a dependable, trustworthy animal lover who understands that pets are family. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and treating every dog as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule outside of my full-time career, allowing me to provide walks, drop-in visits, and quality one-on-one attention. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, an energetic walk, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, you can count on me to be there on time and provide exceptional care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise, and any special instructions you provide. When your pet is with me, you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is simple: earn your trust by providing dependable service and giving your pet the love, attention, and care they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I have a German Shepard/lab dog so taking care of your fur baby will blend right in with our daily walk sessions when the weather allows us to do so. Your for baby will be an excellent hands with the help of our dog Jacob. We have a huge backyard which is more than enough room for the babies to play. Not to worry they are never left unattended

About: Me and my husband have taken care of dogs of all breeds and sizes for over 5 years. I have also worked at a vet clinic as a vet assistant and loved my time working there many friends and familys have relied on me to walk, feed and care for their pets while they’re away. We also have two dogs of my own—a Rottweiler and a Pit mix—so I’m very comfortable handling large breeds and high-energy dogs. We have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special routines, and we always prioritize safety, patience, and love. I treat every pet as if they were our own. We currently available Monday - Friday after 5pm and all days on weekdays for walks, drop-ins, and morning and evening care. We’re so happy to help! Safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have experience caring for dogs in both my home and clients’ homes, and we always follow each pet’s routine closely. One of my own dogs has severe anxiety, so we very patient and attentive when it comes to helping dogs feel calm, safe, and comfortable. We take time to build trust, use positive reinforcement, and provide a quiet, loving environment tailored to each pet’s needs.

About: I have a Maltese, a lab mix and 3 cats all which have been rescued and I’ve even taught the dogs to sit, dance and speak . I’m very flexible with my schedule, especially as I prepare to start school in May. Right now, my main responsibilities are caring for my own pets and focusing on my health, which allows me plenty of availability and attention to give. I truly have both the time and the heart to welcome and care for new pet friends, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well taken care of while you’re away. My dog is fed twice a day and gets his vitamins on the same schedule. Throughout the day, we take plenty of potty breaks and spend lots of time playing and enjoying the yard together. Your dog or cat will receive the same level of care, attention, and love as my own. I truly treat every pet like family. If you have any special requests or routines, I’m more than happy to accommodate whatever your pet needs to feel comfortable and cared for. I understand how much work and dedication goes into having animals as they thrive on consistent attention, patience, and love. (For example, my dog has a thing for TV remotes… so we’ve learned to keep those safely out of reach! )🤣

About: I have owned both dogs and cats my entire life from 10lbs to 100+. I have no formal training but have yet to meet a dog I wasn't able to leash train with no pulling or jumping within a few sessions. I am confident and not easily intimidated with large or loud dogs which makes establishing a bond and rapport easier and quicker. Giving medication or any special needs are not an issue. My dog is my Queen so I understand special requests and also not an issue. I will go the extra mile whatever that entails, including walking an entire mile if that’s what your baby needs. Willing to come early or later if it looks like bad weather so your loved one gets the exercise they need. I prefer to meet more challenging dogs before committing to ensure I am the perfect fit. Always available to answer any questions or concerns and love to send photos so you know your pet is getting the attention they need. I recently quit my job to start my own small business which has been a success but find myself with a lot of extra time. I will have a consistent, reliable weekday schedule with varying availability on weekends. I am not able to board or sit pets in my home as it is not large enough but can easily do it in yours. My dog Mya and cat Narcissa are both treated like queens in every sense of the word and will treat yours as if they were mine. During walks I will always have plenty of cool water on hand and pay extra attention to over heating and hot pavement. I walk for as long as your dog wants or needs to during the scheduled visit time. I am not opposed to special requests like medication administration or even simple bathing for additional fee. I will always be available to communicate with, will report any issues that need attention, and send as many photos of our time together as you wish.

About: I have had dogs for 10+ years. Feel free to check out my dogs IG page bolt_and_mr.moo to see the life they live and love. I am currently working as a personal shopper and have time through the day to allow the dogs to have potty breaks and home all nights. I live keeping dogs in their own homes because it helps them keep the routines. I make sure they get feed at the same times and their potty breaks are at the same times as usual. If they have any special needs I also make sure to handle them.

“Tony loves dogs! But what is more important is that dogs love Tony! My dog immediately took to him and that means the world to me. He was caring and knowledgeable. He kept his schedule and was just terrific communicating with me. This was the first time I used something like this and it was very stressful handing over my baby to someone I didn’t know. Tony put me at ease and was a very responsible, timely person. I am so grateful I found him! I will use him again.”

About: I have loved pets since I was very young. I used to take care of my brother's dog and my friends. Whenever I could, I would visit my friends to be with their dogs. I am a teacher, so I have a lot of patience with hyper pets! I am currently a teacher, so I can work Mon-Fri after 4 and on the weekends any time. During the summer and holidays, I am more flexible. I make sure that if the dog or cat needs to go out to potty, I take them out. I also walk the dogs/cats and play with them as I keep them company. I try to make sure they are safe and happy! I am not allergic to any pets.

“Sarah was a very good choice in having them check-in on our dogs. Being a first time user of the app, I was very nervous, but Sarah made sure to keep us up to date as to what was going on every step of the way. Sarah took our dogs out, fed them, cleaned up after them and even reported that one of the dogs broke something. I highly recommend this sitter!!!!!!”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Waverly

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Waverly is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 2,401 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Waverly. 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 Waverly. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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.
