“I don't have easiest of cats. They don't warm to strangers easily. One hides. The other just get menacing. Brittany took it all in stride and took great care of them. I would use her again in a heart beat!”
About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats in my life. I also volunteered at an animal shelter, feeding and playing with cats, feeding and playing with dogs, and feeding and playing with rabbits! I am a full-time teacher, so I have availability in the summer, weekends, and on school breaks. I can do drop in visits and/or walks! When I am going in to other’s homes, I am respectful of their space. I will make sure it is as clean as it was when I arrived.
About: I've lived with animals since I was 11—including 3 cats and a dog—and my mom has always adopted senior pets with medical needs, so I’m used to gentle care, giving medications, and adapting routines for older or anxious animals. I'm calm, quiet, and patient, which makes me a great match for pets that are shy, reactive, or need a soft presence. I respect animals’ boundaries, take their comfort seriously, and genuinely enjoy being around them—whether that means walks, playtime, or just existing together in peace. I'm especially good with cats and have experience with dogs who need space or structure. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule and prefer part-time work, so I can prioritize animals without feeling rushed. I take my time, move at the pet’s pace, and always make space for their needs. I prioritize calm, quiet, and consistency when coming to clients homes. I respect each animal's space, follow all care instructions exactly, and check in often if something seems off. My goal is to make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and understood at all times.
About: I’ve owned and taken care of pets of my own and others my whole life! Experienced in walking big and small dogs, and bathing them as well. Experienced cat owner and care taker as well! I also like to think I take pretty awesome pictures to send to you as well:) Welcome to Mammoth Lakes! I’m an experienced dog walker and pet sitter who moved here all the way from Boston, where pet sitting and dog walking was my full time job! I would love to become besties with your furry friend! I live in a quiet neighborhood so not lots of noises for easily anxious pets! I’m very attentive to pet needs and always triple check safety measures in my home and yours to make sure your pet doesn’t get into mischief!
“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.”
About: Love animals and have raised several guinea pigs. Have experience pet sitting dogs and cats and am comfortable around any animal. Would love the opportunity to care for your fuzzy friend! I am currently working full time, but am available Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:30pm until 9:30pm. Can stop by on a weekly basis or for one time visits. I am vigilant and will make sure your pet does not get up to any unwanted behavior. Calm and comfortable handling animals and capable of keeping them in control on walks.
About: We are a family of 5 (7 year old, 4 year old, 2 year old) who love animals and pets but are not ready to have one of our own. Both parents have grown up with dogs and cats and the kids are around their cousins dogs constantly! We would love to sit for your pet and give them much love and attention :) We work remote many days of the week and are home most weekends so we would love to have a house guest to play with! Fenced in yard, 3 friendly gentle kids and a house full of love! We are very doting and love long walks with your furry friend
“Ava did an excellent job caring for my elder kitty, Lucy! She was able to accept the booking last minute and I was so appreciative. Ava took great care of Lucy and I highly recommend her!!”
“Kylie stopped in to bring my dog Patsy out when I had to work longer shifts at work. She was a great communicator and I felt very comfortable having her care for Patsy. I could tell Patsy loved her too based off how happy she looked in the photos Kylie sent! I would definitely recommend any of her services!”
About: Hi there! I am a responsible and diligent college student(20), and am happy to watch your cats and dogs. I love being active with my puppy but also chilling at home with my two cats. Very open to feedback and customizing my approach to every pet! I’m currently working part time, so any time I’m not working I want to do this! Mornings and afternoons, weekdays and weekends are all possible depending on my work schedule. I go on walks/runs already in my daily routine, sometimes with coco(our dog). I have experience with feeding, brushing, tick treatment, cleaning out the litter box, and playing with them. I have experience walking puppies, take them out to potty, etc.
“Juyeon was so kind to my cat while I was away for a few days, was great at communicating, and very flexible. When I extended my trip last minute, Juyeon was able to come for another two visits! I definitely recommend Juyeon!”
“Michelle took great care of my cat! She provided a ton of updates with pictures and videos, which was much appreciated since we missed him so much!”
“Our dogs and cat bonded nicely with Heidi, which for one of our dogs isn't an easy task. Heidi took great, loving care of our pets, texted promptly with questions that came up and managed them exceptionally well while we were away for 6 days including keeping feeding areas and the litter box area neat and clean. Our pets can't wait to see her again!”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and truly love caring for them. I have experience with senior cats who require daily medication, patience, and gentle attention. I’m very attentive to each cat’s needs and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also take pride in keeping litter boxes, feeding areas, and pet spaces clean and tidy. I can’t wait to meet your lovely kitties! I am a McGill undergraduate student home for the summer months! My schedule is flexible, and when I am not at home snuggling with my own kitty, Shadow, I will be available to provide the best care for your furry friend! I care for pets with patience and affection while respecting their individual personalities and routines. While caring for pets, I ensure they always have fresh food and water and that any medications are administered properly and on schedule. I make sure pets receive companionship, attention, and gentle care while their owners are away. I also keep the home clean, tidy, and secure during every visit.
“Christie was fantastic! So sweet with our three cats and took great care of them. One cat in particular has trouble with us leaving her and will hide for days afterwards if she has a bad time while we’re gone, but when we got home this cat was social and quite happy. Christie was very responsive and went above and beyond with updating us and taking pics. Would 100% recommend her! Thank you Christie!!”
About: I love all furry friends - I have a lovely cat, and I enjoy taking care of my friends’ puppies short or long terms. Taking them to long walks is my favorite part! I work on a flexible schedule, so I’m available on most weekday mornings or afternoons. I’d be ou-of-town on some weekends so pls let me know what’s your schedule like if pup needs walks on weekends! I have leashes (non-retractable) for small and medium dogs. I’m confident keeping pups of these sizes safe from traffic / other animals all the time. It’ll definitely be a plus if your pup know some commands!
“Julie.... ohmygosh her and her daughter were lifesavers!! Had my mom’s dog over and Julie was checking in on her. Long story short she was not feeling well and did #2s in nearly every room... Julie was kind enough to not only care for my pets in the chaos and while I was on vacation, but she cleaned up the mess (she did not need to do that!) and ensured that all the pups were feeling comfortable and their needs were taken care of. I cannot thank you and your daughter enough.... I recommend them with 5 stars no doubt!”
“Auntie Trish has been a life saver for our family! She is accommodating, responsive and always happy to spend time with our pups. One of our dogs is reactive and can be super slow to take to new people and she was his best friend by the end of our first meeting. Highly recommend Tricia!!”

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.

- 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.
