“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!”

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.

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!

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!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Wayland on Rover is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $48 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 11,612 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wayland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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 , 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
  • 95% 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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
