About: I have over 15 years of taking care of dogs, cats and other pets. I am able to give medications, do some training and give your pets some love while you are away. I have four dogs of my own and love all breeds of dogs. I have owned cats, birds, reptiles and small animals as well. Doggie daycare is always fun and includes water play pools, ball pit, fetching, playing with other dogs and swimming in a pool (if they like to swim) I can give medications if needed and do some small training exercises for a small additional cost. I love all breeds and have no breed restrictions. We also accept dogs that haven't been spayed or neutered yet, but they wont be allowed to play with dogs of the other sex.
About: I have had a pet of my own ever since I can remember. My current fur baby is an almost 10 year old rescue from Kuwait. We have traveled the world together and recently returned to the US. We are looking to help others take care of their fur babies. I am an educator who has lived overseas for several years. I have recently returned to the US. I will be working online part-time, so I have the time and energy to dedicate to taking care of your fur babies when you need a helping hand! I have one older rescue dog who is very shy but friendly. We go for at least two walks a day around the neighborhood to get our steps in and his sniffer activated. We would love for your dog to join us!
About: I’ve grown up taking care of many animals. I have 7 doggies and 2 cats most of them being rescues. I occasionally dog sit for my neighbors.

I do not plan to board any animals just to be safe because I have too many doggies at home. but I love every dog like it’s my own and will make sure I am there for all its needs.

About: Growing up I always wanted to be a veterinarian due to the love and compassion I had for all types of animals. Due to my environment the only animals besides those of nature that I was around were mainly cats and dogs. I took that to my advantage and spent every moment possibly with any cat or dog I could get my hands on. There were always stray litters of kittens and I made sure to always find them and bring them home. We took care of them and rehomed them. It may have drove my mother batty, but she knew I cared for every animal I met and had to do this. Fast forward to adulthood, I still scream like a child inside whenever I see a cat or dog… which yes happens to be a lot. I own two of my own German shepherds and two cats. My parents have always had small dogs so I am used to dogs of all sizes. I am currently a stay at home mom needing to find a job that will be rewarding work to me and help me support my family I have two separated fenced yards and a cozy bedroom inside. If kid friendly, they will be allowed to roam and hangout in our dog friendly home. If they are not friendly with my dogs I will make sure my dogs are kept separate as your fur babies will be my first priority always. They will be allowed to be outdoors with access to indoors whenever they would like. Fresh water and food provided always. Treats with permission. If staying overnight, they will be crated in the bedroom next to mine. If friendly and potty trained, they may roam at night.
About: I'm 35 years old with 2 dogs myself. I have had a great deal of professional and non-professional pet care and training experience since I was a child on a farm in Northern Vermont 🙂. From raising different horses, pigs, ducks, geese, goats, chickens, and rabbits, I enjoy animals of all shapes and sizes. I can handle big or small and am happy to accommodate and take suggestions 😊 & recommendations anytime. Thank you, looking forward to helping with your safe, healthy & happy pet care experiences. ~Willow I work from home & I can accommodate drop-in visits, dog walks, and more. If you choose my place, I'm proud of my clean one-story home, free of stairs, perfect for older or disabled pets, and an open interior for the more playful ones, too. My pets and I are by nature very routine, and I understand the need to keep your pets' schedule the same to minimise stress, separation anxiety, or any unwanted behavior. I want you to as the pet parent, to feel comfortable just as I want your pet to feel comfortable. If visiting your place, i.e., drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, I will share pet updates and follow all your recommended asks. I am newly located in Sain Marys, Georgia, from Maryland. I am happy to accommodate any special needs your furry friend may have at home. I will follow all your recommendations while being happy to accommodate any special needs. A key to a successful pet care experience is not only maintaining the animal's basic needs but also overdelivering in compassion, time, effort, and patience. All this while keeping your pet's normal routine, just adding me as their guardian at the time of care.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats all my life. I grew up around almost ever kind of animal and I've owned a few as well. I'm doing this per as much as needed. I love animals. I will watch almost any kind. Just depends on what kinds. But I can do this anytime as needed. I live in an unfenced house. I will take dogs for walks every 2 hours as needed. Its not fenced so they will need leashes I have open days. I can provide them love and attention everyday every hour if they love belly scratches. I love the animals like they are my own. I never over book. I always make sure the pets I'm sitting have one on one interaction. I play with them and always make sure nothing happens

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Waycross on Rover is $20.35 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 22 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Waycross. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Waycross stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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 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.
