About: I love all furry friends - I have a lovely cat, and I enjoy taking care of my friends’ puppies short or long terms. Taking them to long walks is my favorite part! I work on a flexible schedule, so I’m available on most weekday mornings or afternoons. I’d be ou-of-town on some weekends so pls let me know what’s your schedule like if pup needs walks on weekends! I have leashes (non-retractable) for small and medium dogs. I’m confident keeping pups of these sizes safe from traffic / other animals all the time. It’ll definitely be a plus if your pup know some commands!
“Lucy is absolutely amazing! Our dog typically is really nervous around new people when my husband and I are gone but she was super patient and loving with him and he warmed up to her right away! She also is very thorough with her visits which we were beyond thrilled to see in her pictures of our dog, videos, and end-of-visit summaries. We will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I grew up with three dogs, have dog-sat for neighbors, and lived with a cat that I helped care for. I am very energetic and I have cared for puppies and both large and small dogs. I have a full time job with some flexibility, so I am free most evenings/nights and all of Saturday. My Sunday availability is in the morning to mid-day. I am happy to play with and entertain pets, and follow your instructions on feeding, walks, and house rules. I have had an anxious dog, so I want to make sure your pet is comfortable.
“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!”
“Linh walked my dogs for several weeks and can truly say that I recommend her. She is reliable and has a kind way with your dog that I’ve never seen from any other dog walker. She forms a special bond with your little one, is flexible, and takes well to any request you may have. For example she happily wiped down my dogs after a rainy walk when I asked her to without issue. She also was flexible when I had a guest dog for a couple weeks. She happily walked the other dog too. Also, a bonus are the photos she takes. She is clearly talented with photography. ☺️ I would trust her with my fur baby any day.”
“She was a lifesaver as she was willing and able to step in on very short notice to continue caring for our pets, which was such a huge relief after our flight was canceled and we couldn’t get home as planned.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Matt provided excellent care for my Maine Coon kitten over the July 4th weekend. He arrived for the visits on time, completed all cat care tasks perfectly and most importantly, gave Beatrice lots of playful attention. Matt’s descriptions and photos of his visits helped put my mind at ease. Matt is kind, caring and detail oriented, qualities that contribute to exceptional care.”
“Stephanie is caring and attentive as ever and is now best friends with our demanding kitty. He was pampered with brushing and play time. She is a great sitter and our kitty is lucky to have to Stephanie take care of him.”
“Danya was an absolute pleasure to have looking after my cats and gerbil! Gave everyone love and food! Hope to have you again the next time I have to go somewhere!”
About: Hello! My name is Yana, and I've had the pleasure of sharing my home with furry friends for more than ten years. This has nurtured in me a deep bond and understanding with animals. When you're away, I'll dedicate my undivided attention to your precious pets, ensuring they stick to their routine of proper care and love! I'm at ease caring for dogs of all sizes, and I'm experienced in handling those with special dietary needs or food-related sensitivities. Playing fetch, cozy snuggles, and gentle petting are some of the ways I ensure they feel cherished and attended to. Your trust in me to keep your beloved animals safe and content is sincerely appreciated. Whether it's dog walking or pet sitting, I’m here to be a friend to your furry baby! My work schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide pet care throughout the day. I schedule my dog walks and drop-in visits around my client appointments, so I can offer dependable care during mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on availability. Whether your pet needs a midday walk while you're at work or care while you're away, I'll always communicate clearly and make sure they receive attentive, reliable care. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine is respected. In my client's home, I follow each pet's normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medications (if needed and instructed), and plenty of affection. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, energy level, and preferences so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. During walks, I prioritize safety, positive reinforcement, and making sure your dog gets the exercise and enrichment they need. For cats and other pets, I provide attentive care, companionship, litter box or habitat maintenance, and ensure they have a clean, comfortable environment. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I communicate clearly, send regular photo updates, and treat every home with the same respect and care I would my own. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for.
“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.”

I’m a college student working part-time so I have plenty of availability to walk your dogs and help take care of them to ensure they are safe and happy!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wayland
Lucy is fantastic- kind, caring, very knowledgeable about dogs, timely, an excellent communicator, very bright, a lovely person. Winston, my golden retriever, loves her. I trust her completely. We both are very lucky to have her come to our house and take care of Winston. Thank you Lucy.
Isabella was an excellent pet sitter! She took wonderful care of my cats and gave them plenty of attention while I was away. She sent lots of photos and updates and spent quality time playing with them and making sure they were happy and comfortable. I truly appreciated her care and dedication, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
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.

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.

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.
