“Linh was incredibly attentive to our dog's needs, and responsive to our comments and instructions. She's a delightful, conscientious person whom we felt very fortunate to have to take care of our beloved dog and house in our absence. The house was spotless when we returned, and our dog seemed great. We ca't recommend Linh more highly.”

About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood. I grew up with golden retrievers, so big, happy, shedding dogs feel like home to me. Today I'm mom to Birdie, a Great Pyrenees, so I'm very comfortable handling big, strong, fluffy dogs (and vacuuming up after them). Her best friend Benson, a black lab from a few streets over, boards with us when his parents go on vacation, so I know how to manage two dogs under one roof. Over the years I've also cared for friends' dogs while they traveled. Before this, I co-owned a wedding photography business for 15 years, which taught me reliability, clear communication, and staying calm when things get chaotic. Every visit includes photo updates, so you'll never wonder how your pup is doing. Pets are at the center of my daily life. I'm currently taking a break from office work, so my schedule is wide open. That means I'm available for midday walks, flexible drop-ins, and last-minute requests. My days revolve around long walks with Birdie, time in my garden, and keeping the pets in my care happy, fed, and well-exercised. Your pet's safety is my top priority. I don't have a fenced yard, so every dog stays on a leash at all times, whether we're out on a walk or taking a quick bathroom break. There are no off-leash adventures and no chances taken, which means no escape artists. I keep a close eye on body language, watch for wildlife and other dogs on our routes, and stick to well-known local paths. Doors, gates, and leashes get double-checked every time. I'll follow your pet's routine, diet, and any special instructions to the letter, and I'll keep you updated with photos so you always know how they're doing.

About: Hi there! I’m an experienced dog care provider 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: I have worked for the WAG! app for over a year now. I've always enjoyed caring for friends and neighbors pets when they were away from home. I've also always had at least 2 pets of my own. I'm currently taking the year off to go back to school. Since all of my courses are online, I am able to remain home each day to care for the animals in my care. I have a large yard that is partially fenced in with a very long run setup across the yard. I also live extremely close to walking trails and have private beach access.

“We have a very high energy ACD mix and Danielle was amazing with him!! He can be a bit standoffish at first but he quickly took on Danielle (and her dog Moose) as part of his pack. She sent tons of pictures and updates and was incredibly responsive both to our messages and to Griggs’ needs. She went above and beyond to make our dog comfortable and cater to our needs. It’s tough to find a good sitter and we will definitely be reaching out to Danielle again in the future. Also, her dog Moose is so sweet and we were impressed with how he handled and interacted with our rambunctious pup.”

Don't take the brevity of this review as indicating anything other than time pressure on my part. Ugur was personable, communicative, and flexible in setting up a meet-and-greet before the sit. Highly recommended!”

About: Over the past 5 years fostering dogs through a local rescue, I’ve cared for pups of every personality—big and small, young and old, from playful goofballs to those with behavioral or medical challenges. My goal is to create lasting bonds with dogs and their families, offering compassionate, reliable care tailored to each unique dog. I work remotely from my home in Framingham MA & hence have fairly flexible availability to handle your dog. So I can adjust to your schedules & make it work. For me, fulfilling your dog's mental & physical needs are of utmost importance. I strongly believe in discipline and routine that gives a dog a defined structure to live & flourish. I also actively listen to what the pups' families convey and respect the routine that they provide and keep that up as much as possible.

About: I have been around animals nearly my whole life. Having grown up in a pet friendly family, I learned from an early age the responsibility it takes to care for another creature. From there, my very first job was walking neighbors dogs as it was something that combined two things that bring me joy, dogs and walking outside! I have since served as a pet sitter for dog and cat households in numerous cities and home set ups. I am adaptable, compassionate for your space and your pets, and know how special it is to find someone you trust to watch over such important family members. I am currently a graduate student who has class on Thursday but is otherwise fairly flexible! I have a break in my classes on Thursday so (as my availability notes) so I can still do an afternoon walk but it’s a day I will be away for an extended period of time. I prioritize my pets above all else to ensure they get plenty of love throughout the day! If I ever think my schedule is an issue for the amount of time your pet will spend alone I’ll be sure to communicate it. I have pet sat in big houses and small apartments and have walked dogs in tree lined neighborhoods and city streets. Trust that no matter where you are I will take the necessary care and precautions to maintain your home and give your pet the royal treatment the deserve!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wayland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Wayland is $110 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $52 and $147 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 6,835 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wayland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Wayland 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 Wayland 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 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!

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.
