“Lisa was absolutely amazing. Checked in regularly and sent pics with updates. Always asked about routines and for any tips to make my pup feel most comfortable while I was away. Will definitely book again!!”
“My girls were very well taken care of all weekend and Erik kept me updated through pics and videos. He made sure they got their walks and did things they loved, which allowed me to enjoy the weekend without too much worry.”
“Thalia was such an amazing sitter to our pitties!! They warmed up to her instantly and it was a wonderful feeling that we could relax knowing that our doggies were in good hands with her! This being our first time using Rover, it was a blessing that Thalia made the experience so much better! We trusted her with our overly energetic Fiona and laid back old man dog Flash and would love to have her again! 100% recommend Thalia to anyone to look after their fur babies! Thanks again!! 💙”
“Olivia was absolutely wonderful! She took care of both of my babies for me sent me pictures multiple times a day gave me updates and even left the house looking exactly how I left it! I will 100% have her watch them again”
“Chris has watched Sadie 2 times now, he has taken excellent care of our home and our very anxious old lady. He’s very enjoyable person to chat with as well and made us feel very comfortable entrusting him. 10/10 would recommend and will continue to use him exclusively if his schedule permits it.”

I have been pet sitting for a couple years now and I love what I do, I have a experience with dogs Both big & small and it’s always so much fun to be able to look after them and learn more and more about dogs, different breeds and be able to grow along side many of my returning & new clients ! I’ve looked after many dogs and have experience administering medications please just let me know if your pet has any special accommodations beforehand so we plan accordingly and make sure your pet gets the best care possible I am always willing to work with a client in whatever I can do to make them feel the most comfortable with their pet being left in my care so please feel free to set up a meet and greet so we can go over anything you feel is necessary to know about your pet! If you you do not feel a meet and greet is necessary please leave me your best detailed message about your pet and their day to day routine/schedule Owners should bring bowls, bed for their pet ( I have extras to an extent) & anything they feel their pet will need that will make them feel the most comfortable during their stay, I do ask that Pet Parents please label their fur babies property so that I can return everything to their rightful owners at pick up and to help avoid any accidents. I frequently take dogs on walks/rides with me & sometimes to the park, if you prefer I do not do so please just let me know! Though I do my best to always be the one meeting you for pick ups & drop offs sometimes I do juggle multiple pets & I do not only work in my home but I watch clients pet in their homes as well sometimes just to let their dogs on potty breaks so please stick to your pick up & drop off times and do your best to let me know ahead of time if you are running late or anything changes, I know my clients would like to see me but I do have family here that many of my clients are familiar with now that help me with pick up/drop offs when I can’t not be there right at the moment. Thank you so much for choosing & trusting me with your pet! I will provide you with pictures/videos & keep you updated about your pets well being & just to send over any cute pictures of course. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions at any time! We get that sometimes your pet may be more comfortable in their own home which is perfectly fine! Can’t come to us?

About: My schedule is hybrid so I can be in and out during the work day. I grew up around cats and also have a toy fox terrier. I spent a lot of time with labs as well. Spade spent a lot of time with beagles and labs. I used to have a Chihuahua who sadly passed away 2 years ago. The yard is completely fenced in and big enough for them to play. I will also take them for walks. I have experience with injections for dogs that need insulin or medication. I work two days at home three days in office. It is hybrid and a lot of it is spent out in the community so I am able to pop in and out a lot during the work week. I have a fenced in backyard. I have a dog that is super friendly and loving. She loves other animals and any kind of company.
About: I have known dogs for about 8 years and worked at an animal kennel for 2 years, taking care of 2-month-old puppies to 17-year-old dogs. I know how to give oral and injected medicine, and have taken training classes for all ages of dogs I am currently shadowing at a Veterinary Clinic, but will always have nights to do overnight house sitting, and the day I don't work, I am available for day-care in your home, walking, and training Any house is sufficient for overnight pet sitting, daycare, or training. I don't need anything specific for any of these services, and the pets will be getting amazing and comfortable care.
“Tennille bonded with our cat and dog right away and was very responsive to learning about our senior dog's needs. We had great communication leading up to and during our time away.”
“Kerri is an absolutely amazing dog sitter — truly one of the best out there. She’s reliable, caring and someone we trust completely with Pearl and our home. Her communication is fantastic! She keeps us updated with plenty of photos, which always make our day. Pearl adores her so much that we wonder if we should be jealous ;-) And honestly, we want to gatekeep Kerri because she’s that good… but we won’t (even though a part of us really wants to). If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like their own and keep you in the loop the whole time, Kerri is the one.”
“Morgan responded right away to our house sitting request! She sent pics of our fur babies, which I love! Did walks and playing. House was in order and clean when we arrived home. I would use Morgan again. Thank you Morgan!”
“Em was amazing! Very warm, communicative and reliable. Teddy seemed very comfortable. We received updates and pics. Will definitely book again. Felt very comfortable with the entire stay.”
“I'm afraid if we tell you how fantastic Lauren is, she won't be available the next time we need her to watch our boys. Seriously, if you want a dependable, reliable, thoughtful and really nice person to care for your pet & home, then look no further than Lauren. She really does have that "Magic Touch" with pets.”
“Arden went above and beyond while taking care of our dog and home over a long weekend. It was a last minute booking, there was an errand to run and dog medication to give… Arden was on top of it all! We even received many updates and photos a day on how our dog was doing. We are so grateful!”
About: I've been caring for dogs my entire highschool career and I'm keeping it going while I'm in college. I have cared for big, small, older, and special need dogs. I can handle any challenge the pet may bring. I grew up with cats, dogs, fishes, and Axolotls, always at least 4 animals in the house at one time! I'm at school from 8:10am-11:30am On Monday-Thursday with plenty of time for check ins morning, afternoon, and evening. I am often busy on Fridays during the spring and fall but my weekends are completely open! I am familiar with care for all types of dogs and their quirks, I give frequent walks, make sure food and water is available, and play with them. I like to provide as much comfort as I can to pets that miss their owners.
About: Not only have I taken care of my own and others pets for many years, but I have also worked at a vet hospital/boarding facility for 2.5 years. I have also trained my own dog to be a therapy dog, and taken him to many service events! I have the knowledge, responsibility, and passion for providing your loved one with the right care! Im currently a full time student, so I am available Tuesday - Thursday after 5pm and weekends (Friday - Monday) all day. Early mornings work as well. I’ll care for your pet in the comfort of their own home, following their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I’ll provide plenty of love and attention while keeping your home clean and respected, with regular updates so you can feel at ease.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waverly
Karen was amazing! She was so caring and loving to our dog, and really went the extra mile to make sure he was taken care of, that we had thorough updates, and was attentive to any special requests or needs. I highly recommend Karen and will certainly try and hire her again in the future. Thank you, Karen! :)
Kitt was fantastic! I would happily rebook and highly recommend her to a friend. Our dog is very difficult to care for, and she handled our pup with the utmost compassion, patience, and professionalism while we were away for over a week. She is a great communicator, and she left our home in pristine condition. Kitt is a really excellent sitter who goes above and beyond!
Kaylie was amazing with my senior dog, Roger, who doesn’t yet realize he’s a senior. She watched him over Thanksgiving weekend, dropped in thanksgiving morning, drove several hours to her family dinner, and came back to walk him again that evening! She wasn’t able to stay at my place but made sure to stay decently late and come back pretty early to walk him each day, and hung out most of the day, running an errand here and there. Roger did have an accident at some point, unfortunately not uncommon with his medical issues, and not only did she clean it up with the spray and paper towel I left out, she also ran my carpet cleaner over the spot! Absolutely above and beyond care. She kept me updated, sent pictures, and made sure to put his sweater on when walking him in the snow.

FAQs for House Sitting - Waverly
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Waverly on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 448 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Waverly. 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 Waverly 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 Waverly 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 Waverly 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 Waverly. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
