Pet Sitting Wayland

“Linh was absolutely amazing. She kept us updated the entire time we were away and provided thoughtful, consistent communication. When our flights were delayed due to THE blizzard, she showed up without hesitation to make sure Sienna was taken care of. I would honestly recommend her to anyone using Rover who wants great service, excellent communication, and someone who will truly care for your fur babies like they’re her own.”

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: 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.

“Stephanie went above and beyond for my cats and house while we were away during a storm. She made sure all our patio furniture was safe from the wind without needing to ask. She also always brings in any mail we have without having to ask. She’s so thoughtful and we are so happy to have connected with her. My cats are so comfortable with her!”

“XiaoHui X did a great job taking care of my cat. She was reliable, followed all instructions carefully, and sent timely updates. I would happily hire her again.”

Mary Jane B.

“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.”

Miranda M.

“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: My family began taking care of different dogs at the beginning of 2024. Our licensed home kennel is a single large house with a fenced yard where the dogs can play. I work mostly from home, and my mom is a housewife, so we’re both able to spend plenty of time caring for the dogs. We’ll also share photos and videos with you to make sure you feel confident that they’re having a great stay with us! We would like to schedule a meet-and-greet (a one-night trial is preferred) before the actual stay to ensure everyone feels comfortable. To follow state regulations, we require that your pets have an up-to-date rabies vaccination and that you provide the records for us to keep on file. We also need your pets to wear a collar with their current license attached. My parents and I love dogs and cats very much. We know they are part of your family, and we will treat them as part of ours as well. Thank you for trusting us! Since I work mostly from home and my mom is a housewife, we’re both home throughout the day. This gives us plenty of time to care for the pets, supervise them, and play with them as part of our daily and weekly routine. I have a clean, dedicated bedroom that can be used as a private space for pets if they need their own room. I also have a backyard that is partially fenced where pets can safely play. Whenever they are outside, I stay with them to provide supervision and ensure they are safe and comfortable.

“Kate was very friendly and dependable! Our cat is usually shy, but warmed up to her immediately. She took great care of him, and gave great updates!”

“Megan is reliable and great with our cat and bunny!”

“While gone for work for a week, Anna took care of my two feline boys and did an excellent job. She provided regular, thorough updates with pictures on each drop in visit.! My boys were very happy to have another human friend for the week!”

Kyle H.

“Eric was amazing! This was our first Rover experience and it was fantastic. Such a contentious caregiver for our Maizy. We appreciated Erik’s flexibility , the meet and greet, and all of the updates and pictures that he sent while we were away. Outstanding!”

Marissa d.

“Ana was awesome - on short notice and without the benefit of a “get to know you” visit beforehand, she came and made sure Mojo had everything he needed while we were attending a wedding. We couldn’t have left our boy in better hands. Thanks Ana!”

About: I have experience taking care of dogs from young pups through dogs in their final years, as well as cats of various ages. I grew up with 1-2 dogs in our household at all times, several bunnies for which I was the primary caregiver as a kid and teenager, and frequent interactions with my friends’ cats. I am a responsible oldest daughter and love meeting and caring for animals!! I work in an elementary school, so once the school year starts I will be busy from approximately 7am to 4pm each week day. I have a lot of availability on weekends and more daytime availability during the summer and school breaks. I always follow the pet parents’ instructions closely because they know their pets best. I treat all pets with care and love. In particular, with dogs, I enjoy taking them on long walks if they are up for it. While pet sitting, I make sure to spend time with the pets while I am not at work (not coming back simply for their care routine).

About: My husband and I adopted our dog Mac when he was 8 months. We trained him how to be less reactive, not to bite, sit, potty training and how to come on command. Additionally, I dog sit for my friend that has a golden retriever and my sister-in-law that has a pit-mix. I’ve always loved dogs but having one of my own really opened my eyes to how amazing dogs are! I work Monday-Friday at Boston Children’s Hospital, but I am available after 6:30 PM most weekdays. I have full availability on the weekends day and night. I’m happy to help with walks and drop-ins. I truly believe that pets are an integral part to a family! My dog is the center of my world and I always try to include him on my plans whenever possible. I like to take Mac out for hikes, the beach and any dog friendly patio! We live in an updated apartment in Waltham with a fenced in yard. When I walk Mac, I wear a leash that wraps around my waist and connects to him for extra protection. I try to walk on paths that have less vehicle traffic. I would treat your dog with the same level of attention as I do my own!

“Although we’ve only had one visit so far, I can already tell Winston loves playing with Natalie! He was sleeping hard the moment after she left. I’d highly recommend her to anyone.”

Kelly B.

“Marc's relaxed attitude helps my dogs to stay calm. Marc is kind, and professional and communicative and I highly recommend him. My dogs have a great time with him and they come home very happy.”

About: Over the course of my childhood, my family has had a variety of pets including bunnies, fish, parakeets, and puppies as loved additions to our family. I’ve been around animals my whole life, and have walked, fed, played with and cared for our family dogs Luna and Slomin for over 10 years. I absolutely love dogs and animals of all kind!! I live with my partner, Jacob (featured in profile’s photos) who will be sharing responsibility of taking care of your fur baby with me! We are both open to being interviewed as a team upon meeting. We have been partners with Rover for years and thoroughly enjoy the job! Please note: we cannot provide recurring services as we do travel on occasion. Bookings are evaluated and accepted on a week by week basis. Thank you for your understanding! I am a full time worker outside of Rover with a flexible schedule. I work with my husband Jacob as a team for Rover and we are available for dog walks everyday of the week from 8-10AM and 5-7:30PM. Jacob and I are featured together under my Rover profile and we are both open to being interviewed as a group to care for your fur baby! We are able to travel to you and pet and are open to both drop-in care and dog walks! We have experience with both options and love spending time with your fur baby either way!

About: Hello! I am a part-time elementary school music teacher, and while I love working with kids, I am hoping to add some furry friends to my care! I have over twenty years of pet ownership under my belt. From caring for my own pets growing up, to now helping care for my neighbor's pets, I love getting to know the unique personalities of every pet I meet! I am available for daily walks, vacation check-ins, and overnight stays. In each service, we will go on long walks, have lots of play time, and, of course, belly rubs! I work part-time on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays and occasionally work local events and weddings. Generally, I have availability on Monday morning and evening, Tuesday mornings, Wednesday evenings, all day Thursday, Friday mornings, Saturday mornings, and all day Sunday. These are subject to change. I believe in keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. Have a specific walking route, feeding routine, or favorite treat? Whatever is normal and comfortable for you and your pet will be continued while they’re in my care. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home!

“Royce cared for our older Cavalier for the first time while we were away for a week, and she exceeded our exceptions! Toby sometimes needs a little extra help, and she was patient and skilled in handling him during her drop-in visits and also excellent at communicating with us. We would have her care for Toby again without hesitation!”
