“Lucy was very kind and was easy to communicate with. We haven’t left our cats alone for very long at a time but Lucy made it easy with her thorough check-ins and updates. The cats seem very content and normal when returning home.”
“Ari is fantastic and took such good care of our kitties while we were away! Especially our senior kitty that needed a lot of daily pills. I really appreciated Ari’s thorough communication and picture updates. It was a great relief knowing our babies were well cared for!”
“Claudia has been great w our new puppy (10 weeks old) sending photos!!! She lets herself in and out of the house no problem ... excited to keep using her as an on going dog walker !!!”
“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.”
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.
“Wendy was wonderful! She was dependable and very caring for our 13 + year old dog. It was obvious when Wendy arrived one day b-4 we got out the door how happy Lady was to see her. Highly recommend! John and Di”
“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!”
“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!”
“I feel good about leaving my kitties in Matt & Alyssa's hands. I come home to a clean cat box, clean water and food in the bowl, and the kitties don't seem too stressed about having been left home alone.”
About: Growing up, we always did pet sitting for our friends when they were away on trips(Schanuzer's and Poodle's specifically). I would walk them three times a day, pick their poop, and feed them food and water. Additionally, when I am at school, I have helped local friends walk their dogs on campus and around the Westwood/Beverley Hills area. I am pretty much free the whole week along with weekends. I do work so availability will vary per week. However, I am always at home overnight everyday, and I also have my parents at home. My home is set up to ensure a safe, secure, and comfortable environment for pets. We separate the upstairs and downstairs areas to prevent access to any potentially dangerous furniture or household products, like bathroom toiletries. Our home is equipped with security cameras, which allows for continuous monitoring to ensure your pet's safety and well-being at all times. We also maintain a clean, clutter-free space to eliminate any tripping hazards or opportunities for injury.
“She was absolutely wonderful with my babies! She paid close attention to all of my instructions and took great care of Moonlight and Luna. She spent time playing with them, kept everything neat and tidy just the way she found it, and even replaced the paper towels she used. Overall, she was such a thoughtful and reliable sitter.I’ll definitely book her again if she’s available!”
About: We can provide a fun structured space for your dog. We both have experience with younger hyper dogs as well as the slower older dogs and we love walks just as much as they do. I drive a truck that is very used to having dogs in it and Daisy comes with us most everywhere if she has any say! Sasha is a 45lb rescue brindle hound mix that is very friendly and loves playing with other dogs. Daisy is the newest addition and just turned 1yr old in July! She's very friendly and loves making new friends. My fiancé and I both have experience dealing with a wide array of dogs. We have a large clean crate and large collapsible pen. We are very adaptable to most needs for our furry friends! We do work full time (9-5) but assuming they can wait the work day we will have a great time! Otherwise weekends are usually wide open for doggytime! We Do prefer to use crates for the dogs during the workday, but plenty of walks and playtime after 5pm and all weekend! We use our crate and large pen when needed but we also have a spare room and basement area for the dogs when we have multiple visitors. Daisy is friendly and doesn't mind sharing her space/toys etc.
“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: I am a long-time pet parent with 2 cats and a dog. I am new to offering pet-care services, but have used Rover for care of my own pets and had some very good experiences. I hope to offer the same peace of mind to other families. I am currently seeking recreational employment (like pet sitting) but am otherwise unencumbered by work outside the home, so I have plenty of time to devote to care-giving work. Both my husband and I, along with our dog and 2 cats are at home all day most days. We take lots of walks and have a fenced-in yard for dogs to play and lounge in. Our cats are strictly indoor cats and spend their days moving from napping spot to napping spot and enjoy watching the birds at the feeder. The care I would offer your pet will depend on what they like. Walks, playtime, and cuddles are all on offer, as is, of course, any necessary feeding, watering, and cleanup.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for years, both professionally and personally. I currently work as a veterinary technician, so I’m very comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. I have experience administering medications, caring for senior pets, working with puppies, and recognizing when something just doesn’t seem right. Before working in veterinary medicine, I also did dog sitting and dog walking throughout college, so pet care has been a part of my life for a long time. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet, and I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m a huge animal person and treat every pet like they’re one of my own. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and plenty of attention so you can feel completely comfortable while your pet is in my care. Pet care is already such a natural part of my everyday life that it honestly doesn’t feel like work to me. I have several pets of my own, so my days already revolve around feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, medications when needed, and making sure everyone is happy and comfortable. Between caring for my own animals and working professionally as a veterinary technician, looking after pets has become second nature to me. Adding another pet into my routine feels easy and natural rather than like an extra chore. I genuinely enjoy spending my time with animals, so giving them the attention, exercise, affection, and care they need is something I look forward to rather than something I have to squeeze into my day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I live in my own three-bedroom home with a finished basement, so there is plenty of space to give pets their own area, quiet time, or separation when needed. I have two dogs of my own: a smaller senior dog who generally prefers to keep to himself, and a 6-month-old puppy who is crate trained. I’m able to manage introductions carefully and keep dogs separated when appropriate so everyone can stay comfortable and safe. Because I work in veterinary medicine, I’m very mindful of behavior, stress signals, health changes, and safe handling. I always supervise interactions closely, follow each pet’s normal routine as much as possible, and make sure they have a secure, calm environment while they’re in my care.
“Brenda is great. Very responsible, reliable and flexible. And she has a great manner with the dogs. I like things done a certain way, and she totally gets that which I really appreciate!”

Isabella took wonderful care of Roo and Moe while I was away for two weeks. She was reliable, caring, and attentive, and kept me updated throughout my trip. I came home to two healthy and happy cats, and I could tell they were very well cared for. I would definitely trust Isabella to take care of them again. Highly recommended!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 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 September 2026, there are 11,547 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.
