About: I have had pets all of my life and adore animals :) I know firsthand how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pet with a stranger. Therefore, my mission is to provide reliable care that leaves you (and your pet) feeling at ease! I have experience taking care of my own dog and neighbor’s dogs. I will tend to your pets needs efficiently and with care! I work on a hybrid schedule, so please check my calendar for my specific availability. When I am working remotely, I am located in the Sudbury area. I keep pets in environments that they feel comfortable in: their routine is priority. Whether they like being let out in the yard, or taken on leash for walks, that’s what we will do!

I can’t say enough great things about Morgan. Tony and Maple love her. She is wonderful with them, and I feel completely at ease leaving them in her care. Tony is a quirky dog, and she tends to every need he has, paying close attention. Both dogs adore her, and it shows by how happy and relaxed they are when they see her. She’s extremely reliable and always shows up on time. On top of that, she’s completely focused on whatever the dogs need. I especially love that after every visit, she provides thoughtful updates, including bathroom breaks, activities, and how much they’ve eaten, which is very helpful.

Julia took care of our dogs during the winter holidays. She was just perfect! We got daily reports and cute pictures and by Julia’s messages we could see that the dogs were being super well taken care. Julia went far and beyond even accommodating extra days and making sure that the dogs were eating regularly. I certainly recommend her and will look forward to book her again on our next trip.

Our sheltie Pepper adores Devon! We usually use Devon for overnight stays. This time, we asked Devon to feed and walk Pepper while we were away from our home. As usual, Devon provided excellent care for Pepper. She is reliable and never ceases to impress us with her many talents. Devon is amazing and is always our first-choice dog sitter on Rover. Thank you, Devon!

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind for the past 8 years. This includes overnight care, walks, meals, baths, and puppy training. I have a deep love for animals and I’m often called the ‘dog whisperer’ by friends and family. I care about all dogs like they’re my own! I am currently working part-time in healthcare with a very flexible schedule so I will have plenty of time to take care and spend time with your furry friends! Safety is my top priority. I can easily crate your animals or use gentle training to keep them safe. I have a dog with severe allergies so I am very careful with what my pet can have and I will do the same with yours! I know all owners have different routines and rules for their pets, and will always follow your lead. I am very attentive and caring, so I can be a helping hand and minimize any worry while you’re away.

About: Hi! We’re dog lovers in Framingham who recently said goodbye to our beloved dog, Charlie affectionately known in our house as our “little girlfriend” and “Chuckie.” Caring for Charlie was such a big part of our everyday life, and while we’re not looking to bring another dog into our family right now, we realized pretty quickly how much we miss having dogs around the walks, the routines, the goofy personalities, the couch time, and all the little things that make every dog completely their own. That’s what brought us here. We know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. Our goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable and cared for while giving you the kind of communication we’d want ourselves. Expect plenty of pictures and updates we know how reassuring it is to actually see that your dog is happy while you’re away. We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal routine rather than expecting them to fit into ours. Whether they’re happiest taking a good walk, sniffing every blade of grass in the neighborhood, playing, hanging out on the couch, or just having someone nearby, we’ll meet them where they are. Most importantly, we’ll treat your dog like somebody’s family because that’s exactly what they are. What You Can Expect From Us For every new dog, we like to learn their routine, personality and preferences beforehand: feeding schedules, walking habits, favorite activities, things that make them nervous, any quirks we should know about, and what helps them feel comfortable. We’re careful about doors, leashes and surroundings, we’ll follow your instructions closely, and we’ll never assume that what works for one dog works for another. We’re also big believers in communication. You’ll get pictures and updates during our time with your dog so you’re never wondering how things are going. Our Availability We keep our calendar updated and only accept bookings when we know we can give your dog the time and attention they deserve. We’re available for dog walks, drop-in visits and select house-sitting stays in the Framingham area. We’re always happy to do a Meet & Greet first so you and your dog can get comfortable with us before the first booking. I work full time but am flexible after work to take care of any of your pets. My husband does a lot of theatre so I have a lot of free time to take care of animals! My house has a fenced in backyard that we had for our dog who recently passed. We always had her on a harness and only walked her on safe roads!

About: Hi there! I’m an experienced dog handler dedicated to giving local pups the absolute best care. With professional experience co-owning a pet service business and years of hands-on dog handling, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. My main priority is making sure your pup stays safe, comfortable, and right on schedule for their visits. Whether we’re out on an energetic walk, dropping in for mealtime, or relaxing during an overnight stay, you can count on clear communication, prompt updates, and plenty of cute photos. Looking forward to connecting with you and your pup! Pet care is a core part of my daily routine. I build my schedule around consistent walks/visits, feeding times, and any special instructions so pets are never rushed or squeezed in. Throughout the week, I keep communication steady with updates and photos, and I stay organized with notes to keep each pet’s routine consistent from day to day. I care for pets the same way in any space: safely, calmly, and according to their routine. In a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely for meals, walk/play schedule, and house rules. I keep everything clean and secure, and I send clear updates and photos each visit. In my home (for boarding), I provide a calm environment, regular potty breaks and exercise, close supervision, and a consistent routine with the right balance of attention and downtime based on your pet’s personality and energy level.

About: Hello! My name is Yana, and I've had the pleasure of sharing my home with furry friends for more than ten years. This has nurtured in me a deep bond and understanding with animals. When you're away, I'll dedicate my undivided attention to your precious pets, ensuring they stick to their routine of proper care and love! I'm at ease caring for dogs of all sizes, and I'm experienced in handling those with special dietary needs or food-related sensitivities. Playing fetch, cozy snuggles, and gentle petting are some of the ways I ensure they feel cherished and attended to. Your trust in me to keep your beloved animals safe and content is sincerely appreciated. Whether it's dog walking or pet sitting, I’m here to be a friend to your furry baby! My work schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide pet care throughout the day. I schedule my dog walks and drop-in visits around my client appointments, so I can offer dependable care during mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on availability. Whether your pet needs a midday walk while you're at work or care while you're away, I'll always communicate clearly and make sure they receive attentive, reliable care. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine is respected. In my client's home, I follow each pet's normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medications (if needed and instructed), and plenty of affection. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, energy level, and preferences so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. During walks, I prioritize safety, positive reinforcement, and making sure your dog gets the exercise and enrichment they need. For cats and other pets, I provide attentive care, companionship, litter box or habitat maintenance, and ensure they have a clean, comfortable environment. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I communicate clearly, send regular photo updates, and treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. As a cat owner of two, I’m very familiar with daily feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, and recognizing changes in behavior to make sure they’re happy and healthy. In addition to caring for my own cats, I’ve also looked after two medium-to-large dogs for friends. This included feeding, walks, playtime, providing companionship, and making sure they stayed on their regular routines while their owners were away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, and I always strive to provide patient, attentive, and loving care so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care is already a part of my everyday life as I care for my two cats. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making sure they get the attention and care they need. For drop-in visits, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. During each visit, I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, clean up after them as needed (including litter box cleaning for cats), provide playtime, affection, and companionship, and make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications (if needed), or your pet’s preferences.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Wayland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Wayland on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 11,025 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Wayland. 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 Wayland 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.

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 Wayland 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Wayland with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wayland. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

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.
