“Ella watched my two cats for the 12 days I was gone, and I couldn’t have asked for better service! This was my first time using Rover and I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Ella exceeded expectations! She sent me cute pictures and thorough updates every day, and made sure to give my cats lots of care and attention! I definitely wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if I needed!”

“Kristen has been a blessing. She is always on time very detailed on Freya's time with her and even cleans up messes before she leaves. She genuinely cares for her charges and loves Freya like family. Thank you Kristen for being there when I cant.”

About: Dogs and cats have been a big part of my life since I was a baby. Growing up, we never had less than 4 dogs at a time all different breeds and different sizes and I now have 2 dogs of my own! I have taken care of friends’ and family's dogs since I was old enough to be home alone. I have also ridden horses and worked at several barns that had lots of cats and dogs. My main hobby when I want to get out of the house is training my own dogs on and off leash. Not only have I grown up with dogs and cats, I have also worked as a vet assistant for a traveling vet working with puppies all the way up to seniors. I would love to share my love with your pets. I have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pets! We have 2 very friendly dogs of our own that we take out daily for exercise.

Everything is your choice, I can crate your dog when needed if you chose, we could have lot of activities or none, all your choice! If you chose for me to come to your home, I can follow whatever routine you would like!
About: I have been pet sitting professionally for about 5 years! Only recently have a stopped due to me moving to Nebraska for college. I have had a wide range of clientele from dogs to cats to birds and even large animals! I am currently a sophomore in college at the University of Nebraska with that being said I am available after 2pm most days and Tuesdays and Thursdays after 4pm, I am also available most weekends! I have a very good attention to detail, I have worked in a vets office, as well as very dependable and trustworthy! I also am very big on an open line of communication.
About: I have grown up with big dogs, cats and birds my whole life. I have a big heart for animas all sizes. I have watched dogs and cats for numerous years for friends and family members I typically have an open morning schedule. I work at my other job from 2-10, so I would wake up whenever needed. I have Thursdays off which will my fullest availability. I am very mobile and able to come to you at your convenience. I have a one cat at home and he is declawed. I live in an apartment complex so coming to you is more convenient.
About: I have been taking care of pets for about 10 years and have started pet sitting the last 2 years. I have walked, and bathed pets for many years. I am offering pet sitting, dog walking and drop in visits! I am currently working part time in the evenings and taking classes two days a week so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet! I can crate animals if needed and love to play and cuddle dogs and other pets as well. I can also keep up with training if needed.
About: I’ve been around large and small animals alike my entire life. I grew up on a farm where I cared for (and showed)horses, sheep, dogs, cats, a turtle, guinea pigs, and even (had) gerbils. I was active in 4H, FFA, county and state fairs where I showed my prize Appaloosa horse. During my college years I worked at a locally owned pet store in Kearney, Nebraska, which gave me even more hands on experience especially with a variety of small animals like snakes, birds and rabbits. I’ve always had a dog in my life (and cats) until recently when my Mastiff of 14 years passed away. My Mastiff was a rescue with extensive behavioral issues at first; however, after a year and a half of steady, consistent daily work and training, I am proud to say he passed the temperament test, did a complete 180, and I began taking him into nursing homes, where he was absolutely adored. So in short, I’ve worked with some challenging pet personalities but it makes it all worthwhile knowing I improved that animals life and can take the skills I’ve obtained and pay it forward. I also have extensive experience taking care of senior dogs and am quite familiar with the extra care they require whether that be assisting them up or down stairs, making sure there is plenty or traction where they’re walking, taking extra stops to rest on walks, and overall recognizing when they’re in pain or or not acting like themselves and adjusting any activities accordingly, and ensuring the owner is aware of any changes in personality, eating, drinking and/or potty breaks. Hello! I work part time remotely, so my schedule is very flexible which leaves me plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and anything else your furry friend(s) need while you’re away! I have 2 cats currently so I would prefer to do any daycare at the client’s home, plus, I feel it’s less stressful on the animal if they’re in their own environment. However, in a pinch, I could certainly arrange to do boarding in my home as I have a large fenced in backyard and my cats could easily be placed in another area of my home. I also have a large (Great Dane size) crate from my beloved dog who passed recently, if a crate would be necessary. Whatever it takes to make your furbaby happy and as comfortable as can be, I’ll make sure it happens! When I am at your home, I’ll make it so that you don’t even know I was there aside from a tired pet(s). Trust and integrity is crucial when letting a stranger not only care for your animals but be in the home, and I firmly believe im establishing that trust by respecting your home and your rules. I live in the south Lincoln area, I drive and own my own vehicle, so can be anywhere in the Lincoln area within about 20-30 minutes. Also, if there was an emergency of any kind I would be able to transport your pet to your closest Veterinarian or wherever need be to ensure his/her wellbeing.
About: When I was growing up babysit for my brothers bestfriend. I would have to walk the dogs and it got her energy out as well. :) I have 5 cats and I have to change their litter daily, feed them twice a day , give them love and attention. I will go to my grandmas and walk her dog for her. I treat them as I they are mine. I love animals no matter how big or small. And I follow the instructions from the orders of the times they want to feed them.
About: I worked at Kenl Inn full time for about two years! I worked off and on after that for about another year! We hiked them securely on a trail and strictly observed behaviors in their rooms and also with other dogs. I learned a lot about dog behavior from those years and how to handle dogs on walks. Working there so many years also built up a lot of muscle to walk larger dogs as well as the small ones. I work full time for the post office currently! I occasionally will pop into Kenl Inn to lend a hand! Usually my evenings are free if a night out is wanted and my dog is usually with her grandma on weekends anyhow! I am usually free after 5 PM but my job can make it tricky with the unpredictability of it. I am also down to do very early morning things before I work at 7:30 AM. I am usually off on Sundays as well! I am very respectful of other's homes and training styles! Every dog is different and have different needs. I have given meds and dry pilled if needed. I have no issues with it. I have handled aggressive and reactive dogs and am very familiar with how to handle them and myself in an antsy scenario.
About: I have had the privilege of caring for all kinds of pets since a young age. This includes dogs, cats, bunnies, reptiles, and farm animals. I have had many wonderful pet sitting opportunities from friends and family before joining Rover and hope to have as many more positive ones as I can! I am also experienced in administering medication, and will cater to all your fur babies needs. I am currently working my full time on weekdays. I am available on weekdays past 5 and at all times on the weekend. Available for overnight on weekends! All of my attention will be on your babies needs when I am present in my clients environment and will do my best to cater to your pets needs and safety.
About: I have been pet and house sitting for the past seven years, primarily caring for dogs and cats, but I also have experience with a wide variety of more unique pets. I’m currently attending the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, pursuing a degree in Fisheries and Wildlife, and my love for animals goes well beyond the classroom. Over the years, I’ve personally owned and cared for fish, turtles, frogs, dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, and a variety of birds, so I’m comfortable with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’m responsible, reliable, and kind, and I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same care and attention I give my own. The only thing on my schedule is class from 11 to 12:30 everyday. Will build my schedule around times that I am needed to attend to your pets. Your pet’s safety is my top priority! I’m pretty sure my years of experience caring for my own personal “zoo” have prepared me for just about anything! I’m careful about following each pet’s routines, keeping doors, gates, leashes, and other potential escape routes secure, and making responsible decisions based on each animal’s needs and behavior. I take time to understand feeding instructions, medications, exercise routines, allergies, and any special safety concerns before caring for a pet, and I’m attentive and proactive while they’re in my care. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away
“Macy took great care of Samira and communicated well with me on a last minute trip even though it was the first time she had worked with us. Pics and vids were sent as promised. She was accommodating with her own work schedule to make sure Samira was taken care of. Thank you so much, Macy.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Waverly is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $26 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 772 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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
