“Linh is so good with our pups. They love having her come visit while we’re at work. Also she is flexible with her schedule with us which has helped so much. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who asks. We’re lucky to have found her in the area.”
“Lucy was wonderful! Gave the most detailed updates and sent pictures/videos that made me feel like I was there with my kitty. Can tell Lucy really loves what she does and the animals she takes care of. Will definitely reach out to her again for future pet sitting needs!”
“Wendy is kind and trustworthy. She took the time to get to know my dog and made sure she was comfortable at the first visit. My dog is a unique breed so I really appreciated the patience. She was very professional!”
“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.”
“This is the second time Danya say for me, and she was again terrific - great communication, food everything she was asked, wonderful updates. My 3 cats have a bit of a complicated routine, so I really appreciated her diligence.”
“This was the first time we ever left our fur babies with a sitter, and Kate made us feel so comfortable. She was very reliable and played with our cats with love and attention! We'll definitely be calling on Kate again next time we travel. Highly recommend!”
“Took really good care of my fur babies and was conscientious and tidy in my apartment. Loved the updates and photos! I will definitely re-book and it made me very comfortable in a stressful work event that I knew my cats were taken care of, especially my newly diabetic cat!”
“Stephanie took great care of our cat for 2 weeks during our trip. She was very attentive, carrying and pampered our cat. I am sure our cat is now best friends with Stephanie and will demand Stephanie back. Stephanie was very proactive and responsive in her communications, she kept the cat happy and helped with watering the plants and keeping his litter clean. A 5 star review for a 5 star cat caretaker!”
“Have worked with Aga a number of times now and she has been consistently great. She sends photos everyday and is very reliable. My family doesn't want anyone else to help take care of our pets while we're away! Thanks Aga for your help as always.”
About: Hi! I’m a mom of boys with a flexible schedule and some extra time during school hours, so pet care feels like the perfect fit. I love animals and enjoy getting outside for walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their people are away I have a pretty flexible schedule during school hours, so pet care fits in easily throughout my week. I enjoy getting outside for walks, spending time with animals, and making sure pets feel cared for and comfortable while their owners are away. I care for pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable, whether that’s for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, or just some extra attention. I’ll follow your instructions and routine to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and cared for.
“Matt was wonderful with our little mini daschund while I was away! She can be pretty skeptical of new people but I could tell by just the photos only a few check-ins in that she was super comfortable and happy with Matt. Definitely recommend!”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. Growing up around dogs and other animals, I developed a deep appreciation for understanding each pet’s unique personality, needs, and quirks. Today, our home is a safe, loving environment where every dog is treated like family. I work from home with a flexible schedule, ensuring that dogs in my care receive frequent supervision, companionship, exercise, and affection throughout the day. Whether your pup enjoys active walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply relaxing with people nearby, I tailor their experience to match their individual needs and comfort level. Our family plays a big role in making every dog feel welcome. Our teenagers absolutely love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s playing fetch, giving belly rubs, going on walks, or simply showering them with attention and affection. Dogs staying with us quickly become part of the family and receive plenty of love, companionship, and one-on-one interaction throughout their stay. We are fortunate to have a large backyard and direct access to a beautiful conservation area, providing endless opportunities for exercise, exploration, and outdoor enrichment. From leisurely walks and nature adventures to active play sessions, dogs have plenty of space to stretch their legs, burn energy, and enjoy the outdoors in a safe and supervised environment. What I Offer * Large backyard with direct access to a conservation area * Daily walks, outdoor adventures, and enrichment activities * Consistent supervision and companionship * Personalized care based on your dog’s personality and routine * A calm, family-oriented environment * Lots of love and attention from our dog-loving teens * Regular updates and communication for peace of mind Please Note * Boarding pick-ups and drop-offs are preferred between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. * Additional fees may apply for dogs requiring significantly more care than average. Additional Care Fees Because some dogs require substantially more time, supervision, and individualized attention, the following surcharges may apply: * Puppies under 1 year old: +$10–$20 per day (depending on age, training level, and care requirements) * Dogs with separation anxiety, generalized anxiety, or those requiring constant supervision: +$10–$20 per day * Large dogs (50+ lbs.) requiring additional handling, exercise, or supervision: Fee determined during the meet-and-greet * Untrained dogs or dogs not fully housebroken: Fee determined during the meet-and-greet I will discuss all pricing transparently during the meet-and-greet to ensure the best fit for both your dog and our home. I have experience caring for dogs of various breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn about their routines, commands, preferences, and behaviors before their stay. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, playful, or enjoys a quieter environment, we adapt our care to help them feel right at home. My goal is to create an stress-free experience for both pets and their owners by providing dependable, attentive, and personalized care. Plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles (when welcomed), and individualized attention are all part of the experience. I have a 9 years old, friendly doodle to keep your furry family member company while you are away. I can crate or provide a calm private space, if needed.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and grown up taking care of them. I’ve cared for small and large dogs, enjoy spending time with them, and giving them the best possible care. I am currently a student and work part time, but I only have class in the morning and work from home a majority of the time I enjoy spending quality time with the pets and make sure their safety comes first. Easily reachable on my cell if there’s any issues or concerns. I have a small fenced backyard area to let the dogs roam and enjoy time outside. No children, other pets, or other cautionary exposures for the animals.
“Katy was a lifesaver! We had a last minute need for a dog sitter and Katy was quick to respond and she was very flexible. She took great care of our dog each time she came by; she walked her, played with her and fed her regularly. I highly recommend her!”
“longfei and Luning are so helpful taking care my cat. Everything is done professionally and friendly. Most importantly, she seems to be happy. Will definitely recommend!”
“Devon is a lifesaver. She is so good with our crew of 3 cats and their different needs. She takes great photos and they love her. She’s thorough and reliable. I’m so glad we found her.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wayland
Our cat, Rubyn, has diabetes that requires an insulin shot twice a day so finding a reliable sitter that we can trust to provide those shots while spending quality time with him has been challenging. Luckily we found Lucy! She was fantastic. She clearly made Rubyn very comfortable based off of the numerous picture and videos she sent along with the detailed report cards. We were extremely nervous to go away on this trip but each update put me and my wife more and more at ease. She showed so much love and affection to our little guy. We can’t recommend Lucy enough! We’ll definitely be using her again
Our cats, who had done well with Kate in earlier booking, got scared for some reason this time and were either aggressive or hid from her. Kate kept us informed about what was happening and stayed in touch so we could exchange information about what behavior we were seeing on indoor cams. If she hadn't, we might have felt like we needed to return and see what was wrong. We appreciated the communication.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Wayland on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 11,712 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 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.
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.
