“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 remember sitting on the front porch with my childhood dog, Copper the Cocker Spaniel, sharing fig newtons in the cool of the morning while waiting for my bus to come take me to school. I share this sweet story because I believe it is where my love for animals began. (Don’t worry, I won’t feed your dog fig newtons!) For five and a half years, I have had opportunities to pet sit for friends. I have had experience caring for small, medium, and large dogs for short-term periods, as well : walking, feeding, reinforcing training, and I currently work part-time, with a varying schedule. This is an asset, because it allows me to have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby, with opportunities for drop-in visits, as well as full-day care on my days off. For drop-in visits, I will have early morning, midday and evening availability. I take care of pets with the intention of maintaining the environment the pet is comfortable with, while taking ownership and leadership. I want the pet to feel at home in their own home, while being intuitive and tending to the pet’s needs as they adjust to a new sitter.

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.

About: I have been a veterinary technician for 3+ years and counting. We have had pets in our home since I can remember. I have grown up with the love and loyalty that our pets provide and is something that I cherish. I started pet sitting for coworkers and clients for about 2 years now. I love helping fellow pet owners with caring for their pets in a time of need. My favorite thing is gaining trust from pet owners and ensuring that owners have peace of mind when it comes to being away from their pets. Having the medical background that I do also helps to ensure that your senior babies are being taken care of properly. Pets are family. I am currently a full time veterinary technician and work all days (8am-6pm) except Tuesdays, every other Saturdays (only from 8am- 12pm), and Sundays. With my full time schedule, I make sure that a pets needs come first. I will only pet sit for pets that I can guarantee my utmost care. I house sit a lot as well so this is helpful with my full time job. I tend to pet sit close to my job so if I have to leave in the middle of the day to take a dog out, I definitely can. I make sure to follow all written or printed instructions to a T. I also make sure to stay in close contact with owners (not too close to ruin your vacation) to ensure that they are still at peace of mind throughout their time away. I also love to send photos of their pets while they’re gone so they’re not missing out on too much :)

“Mikayla was awesome. She was very thoughtful, asked questions, and made sure I had some cute pictures of my fur babies. It was a short notice trip. Mikayla was prompt, spent quality time with my dogs, made sure they were comfortable and taken care of. I would recommend her to anyone. She took care of 4 different dogs while I was gone, without any problems”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and grew up in a house full of pets! Over the years, I’ve had experience with Labrador Retrievers, a German Shepherd/Basset Hound mix, a Golden Retriever, and three cats, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and lots of fur. 🐾 These days, I’m a proud dog mom to Buck, my black Lab, who keeps life fun, active, and never boring. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat yours like one of my own — with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and belly rubs! I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide pets with lots of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I have a friendly black Lab named Buck who loves having a buddy to play with, but I’m also happy to give pets their own space when needed. I follow feeding, walking, medication, and crate routines closely and always make sure pets are supervised, secure, and treated like part of the family.

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’ve grown up around dogs, cats, and the veterinary field my whole life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I became a Certified Veterinary Assistant through Southern Technical College because I truly love working with animals and helping them feel safe and comfortable. I have hands-on experience through volunteering, veterinary externships, and working directly with dogs and cats in a clinic setting. I completed my externship at Orchid Springs Animal Hospital, where I helped with patient care, animal handling, cleaning and sanitation, and making pets feel calm and cared for during their visits. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and attention like they’re my own. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. I currently work part-time at McDonald’s and recently graduated from Southern Technical College as a Certified Veterinary Assistant. I loved my externship at Orchid Springs Animal Hospital and gained hands-on experience caring for animals in a clinical setting. I’ve grown up around dogs, cats, and the veterinary field my whole life. While I can’t currently have pets where I live, my pets stay with my mom and I visit them often. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. Ever since I was young, I’ve looked for ways to help animals and the people who love them. At 12 years old, I even traveled to Miami to meet Animal Cops because of how passionate I was about animal care. I’ve also volunteered at farms and animal control, and I truly enjoy nurturing, comforting, and caring for animals of all kinds. While I’m currently unable to host pets in my own home, I’m happy to provide care in my clients’ homes, including dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, companionship, and helping pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I understand how important safety, trust, and communication are when caring for someone’s pet. I always aim to provide dependable, patient, and loving care while respecting each pet’s routine and unique personality. My goal is to make both pets and their families feel comfortable, supported, and cared for.

From dogs and cats to a diverse array of birds, cows, and yes, even skunks, I've embraced every unique challenge with genuine care and commitment. Safety is my top priority, ensuring your pets thrive under my watchful eye. As a compassionate animal lover, I understand the importance of tailoring care to individual needs. I'm not just a caregiver; I'm a devoted listener, ready to accommodate your pet's preferences and your concerns. Trust me to provide the utmost care, flexibility, and a nurturing environment for your beloved pets. The ability to set my own work schedule provides a tailored approach to caring for pets. With the flexibility to adjust my hours, I can meet their specific needs, including feeding, walks, and playtime. Breaks throughout the day allow for regular check-ins, addressing any emergencies promptly.

This includes administering medications with precision, offering bathing services for hygiene, and taking dogs for invigorating walks. The goal is to mirror the care and routine they are accustomed to, whether in their familiar home environment or within my own space, ensuring a seamless and positive experience for both the pets and their owners.

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! )🤣

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Waverly

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
