“Bridget was fabulous. Blue had some digestive issues. We communicated with Bridget ahead of time and she was extremely supportive and helpful. She administered new food and medicine while Blue was there. She is an absolute pro and awesome to work with!”
“Francois was extremely communicative and took great care of our pup while we were traveling. He made me feel confident that she was well cared for and loved while we were gone. She returned home happy and healthy.”
“Tomoe and her family took great care of our Max and sent lots of pics and videos of him enjoying himself and getting lots of cuddles! We will definitely use her again when we need a sitter”
“Very happy with J & J! We took a last minute trip and they responded quickly. They took good care of Milo, sent pictures, and i could tell he was happy there. Would definitely book again!”
“It's a return stay for Toto. He probably got more pampered by Bo & Xiaosong than from us. We received constant update videos, photos, and messages every single day. Bo & Xiaosong are great hosts. Thank you!”
“Margeaux had such a great time staying with Katherine and Sean and their kids! She barely wanted to come home. Katherine and Sean were great about sharing updates and pictures throughout her stay and kept me posted on how she was doing. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Arnav did a great job. Buck had a hot spot arise right before my travel. He came home after my trip with significant healing accomplished. He went to his stay a bit anxious, not quite himself, and when I picked him up from Arnav, he was at ease. Arnav communicated regularly and well. He sent pictures. He asked questions. We discussed how to treat Bucks hot spot, and made some decisions together from a distance that worked well. Highly recommend Arnav for your dog.”
“Liz took such great care of our dogs. We’ve booked her again for a mini staycation! She really took our individual dog’s needs into her care which meant the world.”
“Sean is awesome, we highly recommend him! My husband and I were traveling out of the country when another sitter canceled on us one week before we left. We found Sean and he was very accommodating in meeting us and our dog. We had never left our dog with a sitter before and he also hadn’t had a ton of experience being around other dogs for longer periods of time, so we were a little nervous. Sean sent us video updates showing our dog having a great time, getting a ton of exercise, and playing with other dogs. I think he really benefited long term from the socialization experience he had with Sean. We can’t say enough nice things about him and will be using him again!”
“Svetlana and her family were amazing with Cornelius. Normally, I get nervous leaving Cornelius for my trips, but she checked in with me everyday, brought him on errands, and send me pics of him happy and healthy daily. I will definitely book again!!!”
“Lu and her dog Taffee were great with Tashi! She was very attentive and reached out with questions whenever she observed anything unusual or noticed a change in Tashi's behavior. Lu even took Tashi out at 2:30AM in the morning thinking he had to potty because he was walking around the house! We later told her that Tashi likes to walk around and sleep in different areas throughout the night. We also received daily photos, videos and updates from Lu. We will definitely have Lu care for Tashi next time we need a sitter.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with multiple family dogs taught me early on that every dog has their own unique personality, needs, and quirks—and I love getting to know them all. In addition to being a lifelong dog lover, I spent four years working as a professional dog bather at PetSmart, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. That experience helped me become comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I also have experience administering medications, including oral medications and insulin injections, so you can feel confident that your pet's health needs will be carefully managed while they're in my care. Whether your dog is looking for a walking buddy, a cuddle companion, or someone to stick to their routine while you're away, I'll treat them with the same love, attention, and respect that I would give my own pets. Currently open to boarding throughout the year, for dogs able to stay indoors for 8 hours, as I work an onsite typical 9-5 job. Structure is morning walk, home from work walk, evening walk or play depending on the dogs needs! I have no other pets in the home! I have a single family ranch style home with a yard. I am also within walking distance from a rail trail. I do also enjoy hiking and would be able to take your pets on wooded adventures!
“Alexander and Anna were super nice and friendly! We love it that they had a fenced yard and that they took Molly Ziba for long walks every day. The communication was also great, they sent us pictures and texts to update us regularly—some pictures were truly beautiful! We will definitely use their service again. :)”
“Eric lived up to his very positive reviews: sensitive to our (very few) concerns, sending daily updates and photos, easy to communicate with--in short, everything one would hope for. His dog Snickers was an extra bonus.”
“Julie was simply fantastic with Wesley. She let him sniff around and learn get comfortable in her apartment while I was there to make sure he was ok. Lots of photos and Infor a laugh as she she shared a Wesley story as she took him for a walk and he waited hopefully for some free pizza. I would definitely rebook.”
About: I absolutely love all animals! While I often sit for dogs and cats I love our small critters as well! I have a bunny that is fully house trained and uses a litter box! I love training animals and seeing just how intelligent they truly are! I have a special place in my heart for senior animals as I used to be a nursing assistant for geriatrics. I recently lost my old man dog last month so I definitely have a special place for senior animals as well as experience in administering insulin after meals as my brother chocolate lab is diabetic. I look forward to working with all kinds of animals and families! I am currently a server and a high end restaurant and have flexible hours. I really love this about both of my jobs because it gives me the ability that do both of the things I love most! I have a dog park and my complex backs up to cochituate state park. I am also happy to come to my clients home if that is desired! In that case I would follow any and all instructions left by my clients and of course maintain the upmost respect for both them and their homes.
“Incredible family to leave your pet with for a safe, fun time. Amazing at sending updates and thoroughly treated Sofia like she was a member of the family! Still shook at the amount of interaction and fun times she had while in their care.”
“Ana was a great host for Ingrid. She played with Ana’s dog Lola and had a great time on her morning walks and car rides. The stay was amazing and we will love to keep Ingrid with Ana in the future as well.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Wayland is $65
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wayland
This was the first time our 7 year old havanese Hayden, stayed with Sarah and we were thrilled with the care and attention she received. Sarah is very warm, and comforting, and sensitive to a dog’s needs. Our dog usually suffers from separation anxiety, but had no trouble in Sarah’s home. Hayden is on a special diet and our instructions were carefully followed. We received photos and updates while we were away, and felt kept in the loop. We will certainly reach out to Sarah next time we have travel plans and wholeheartedly recommend her to others.
Jeffrey and Jennifer were caring, friendly, and hospitable hosts for my dog, and their dog is also friendly and welcoming. They took care to ask about and accommodate my dog's habits, likes, and needs. They were patient and understanding with her anxiety about being away from home. I felt 100% comfortable knowing they would give her lots of love and attention. I appreciated the walks, playtime outdoors, and all of the pictures. Highly recommend!
Our two dogs had a wonderful time with Sara. She has a fantastic backyard for playing and is in a great area for walks.. Our dogs had so much fun and they are really tired out! We are very appreciative to have met Sara and are thankful to be able to count on her for future trips!
Ryan is incredibly responsive and we felt really comfortable leaving our dog with him. He asked all the right questions and was so glad to learn about Piper’s quirks. He kept us updated everyday and we know she had a great time. What a relief! Ryan helped us feel relaxed enough to really enjoy our vacay time! Thanks Ryan!
Paige was great!!! This was our first time using this service and we could not be happier. She checked in with us daily with pictures and updates. Our dogs are older so we did not know how they would do. She was so good with them. It was very comforting to know they were in such good care while we were away. We would definitely book with her again!
Jennifer and her family were great! Our dog Rosie had a wonderful time playing with her dogs, running around the fenced yard, and snuggling on the couch. She came home happy and tired. Communication and drop off/pickup were easy. We’d definitely book with Jennifer again!

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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Wayland can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Wayland home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Wayland.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wayland. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Wayland sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
