“Erica did a great job watching our 2 dogs and our house! She regularly updated me on the dogs and cleaned the whole house before we got home. She was very communicative and friendly, highly recommend!”
“Anna provided phenomenal care for my dog while I was away! She stayed overnight at my place, and left it in great shape, provided regular photos and updates of my pup, administered medications, and my pup seemed very comfortable with her. Highly recommend her!”
About: When you're looking for someone to care for your beloved pets and home, you want reliability and experience. That's exactly what you get when you choose me. I've been dog sitting for years, giving countless furry friends the attention and exercise they need to thrive. Plus, with my house sitting services, you can have peace of mind knowing your home is secure and well-maintained while you're away. It's a complete package of care for both your pets and your property. I currently do not have a job so I’m free everyday mostly. I have a very flexible schedule and am very quit to communicate with text and call. I have a yellow lab to keep your dog company if they come over. I do not have a fenced yard but can easily take them on a walk or even the dog park that is right down the road from my house.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life but I’ve worked with dogs professionally for about a year now. I work at dog training and boarding facility in a few different roles. I’ve been a trainer, kennel technician, bather, as well as in the office scheduling boarding stays for our pups! I’d love to care for more dogs after work! I’m good at it and I enjoy it so much! I currently work 8am to 4pm. But I have plenty of time to spend with your pup after work! We can go for walks, go to the park or have a bath and get cleaned up! I can come to you home and care for your dog there or I can pick them up, take them out for some fun to get some energy out, and bring them back home safe and sound. I can crate them in my SUV for easy and safe transport.
About: I am a huge animal lover. Your pet will be loved on just like my own. I love pets of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I believe pets are gods gift to people. I’m available every weekend all weekend and weekday after school and sometimes during. I can bathe, brush, walk, feed, accompany, and do any special requests you want for your pet. You can guarantee your pet will be taken care of like no other. I have taken care of everything from a horse to a guinea pig. I was raised on a small farm with animals of all sizes. I have taken care of and been around animals for over 10 years and still in counting. I assure you that you won’t be disappointed.
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life. From big dogs to small dogs with all types of personalities! I have experience with dogs staying with me, and house/dog sitting for others. My work gives me a lot of flexibility to give them time and attention where they won’t need to be left alone for long periods of time. I work from home so I have no issues with feeding times, potty breaks, or play time. My job isn’t too strenuous so I will never be in a position where I can’t give them the attention they need. I have a good sized yard in a quiet neighborhood for walks. They can hangout on the couch with me, and i let them sleep wherever they’d like, I know each dog has its own personality
“Whitney was extremely attentive and courteous. We trusted her in our home and she seemed to have care for our dogs as if they were her own. I learned that she grew up on a farm and has extensive experience caring for horses, chickens and other livestock. I most certainly will contact her for future house sitting needs as well as toncare for my farm's animals. It is difficult to find someone that possesses such a range of talent and experience with animals, who I can trust and depend on. Thank you!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a little girl. I always shower dogs with so much love & my annoying baby voice haha. I absolutely adore dogs. I am very flexible with my schedule since I am a student in college taking online courses ! I am available on evenings & weekends. I care for my pets with lots of toys & treats! When it’s time to go potty, I use a leash for my dog due to living in the city with no fence or backyard.
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the level of patience, attention, and personalized care I give to every pet. I understand that every animal has different needs, personalities, and routines, so I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and detail oriented. I provide regular updates, photos, and check ins so owners feel reassured knowing their pets are in good hands. My goal is not just to watch your pets, but to genuinely care for them like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already have experience caring for my own cat and am very comfortable around both cats and dogs. I understand how important consistency, attention, exercise, and companionship are for pets of all personalities and energy levels. During the summer, I work full time but get off at 4 PM, which gives me plenty of time in the evenings for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication routines if needed, and quality one-on-one attention. I also have weekends completely free, allowing for flexible scheduling, extended visits, or overnight care. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean litter boxes or pick up after dogs during walks, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I also keep the home tidy, monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior or health, and provide regular updates and photos so owners feel comfortable while they’re away.
About: I’ve always been an advocate for animals. Their innocence, loyalty, and dedication to humans is unwavering so I try to give them love in return. I just left my 9-5 to per-sue what makes me happy and still make money. Caring for animals will give me the ability to spend more time with mine also. I have 3 dogs in my home so I would care for your pet in your home. Plus I feel that pets are more comfortable in their own homes. I have a live in dog sitter so my pets always have someone with them giving me the time to help other people with their pets.

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 July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 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.
