“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“We had a great first experience with Rover thanks to Matt and Alyssa! They were very responsive and professional. We loved receiving regular updates and lots of cute photos. We could tell that our kitty was happy and well cared for! Will totally book again in the future.”
“Stephanie is fantastic!! My senior cat loves her. She is great about keeping you informed, is very attentive to my cats needs, and is very thorough in giving him his medications. She sends great updates and fantastic pictures/videos!!”
“Once again, I can't rate Aga highly enough for the exceptional service and care she provides for our two dogs. She always gives my wife and I peace of mind when we're away, and we truly appreciate her willingness and flexibility in working with our schedules and pet needs. Thank you, Aga! Our girls can't wait to see you again!”
About: I had a dog my whole life up until a few years ago. He was half yellow lab half golden and was my favorite thing in the world. I miss having a dog and would love to give some one else’s dog love. I am currently in college at quinnipiac university. I have classes everyday except Thursdays but I do have breaks in between classes and am happy to do things during those breaks. I am happy to care for your pets in whatever way you want me to. I would love to take them for walks or just hang out with them.
“Daniel was an excellent drop-in visitor and playmate for our cat Georgie. We really appreciated his friendliness, prompt communication, and genuine affection for our cat. Bonus points for his availability short notice during holiday season as well! We’d definitely recommend Daniel.”
“We had a great experience with Annette! She took the time to come beforehand and learn our guinea pigs’ routine, which we really appreciated. She was reliable, attentive, and took great care of them while we were away. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Xiaoxue was great with our two dogs. She came to meet them and was very thorough on learning what they needed. The pictures and rover card were great to get. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! I’m an experienced dog care provider dedicated to giving local pups the absolute best care. With professional experience co-owning a pet service business and years of hands-on dog handling, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. My main priority is making sure your pup stays safe, comfortable, and right on schedule for their visits. Whether we’re out on an energetic walk, dropping in for mealtime, or relaxing during an overnight stay, you can count on clear communication, prompt updates, and plenty of cute photos. Looking forward to connecting with you and your pup! Pet care is a core part of my daily routine. I build my schedule around consistent walks/visits, feeding times, and any special instructions so pets are never rushed or squeezed in. Throughout the week, I keep communication steady with updates and photos, and I stay organized with notes to keep each pet’s routine consistent from day to day. I care for pets the same way in any space: safely, calmly, and according to their routine. In a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely for meals, walk/play schedule, and house rules. I keep everything clean and secure, and I send clear updates and photos each visit. In my home (for boarding), I provide a calm environment, regular potty breaks and exercise, close supervision, and a consistent routine with the right balance of attention and downtime based on your pet’s personality and energy level.
“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.”
“Eric was fantastic to work with. He was professional, personable, and prompt in providing pictures and videos after he visited Opal. He made us feel comfortable, and built a relationship with our pet. I would recommend Eric to anyone looking for a trustworthy and considerate sitter on Rover.”
“Juyeon was great with our cats, and our shy cat opened up to her almost right away. We appreciate her communication regarding updates for the cats and coordinating timing of the visits. Overall, highly recommended!”
“Franciane took great care of my cat, Bunny! She was respectful, responsive, and great about giving updates and pictures. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
About: Loving kind dog lover. I cuddle play and take nice walks with each sweet pup. Your dog will be treated like a king or a queen. I have 12 years experience with dog sitting and have 2 dogs of my own who love making new friends. I will send you pictures every day of your dog so you will get to see how they are. Fenced in yard to run and play. Your dog will be in a loving environment while you are away. You can feel less stressed and know that your dog is in safe home . I allow dogs to sit on furniture and sleep with me so your dog will feel comfortable and know they will be taken care of and loved.

I was very happy to hire Isabella again to look after my cats while I went away on vacation. She followed all of my instructions and was responsive if I needed to ask or tell her something! I loved to see that she played with my cats and gave them lots of love.
Claudia helped us out last minute which was so appreciated. We weren’t sure of the exact times we would need her to come to the house until the morning of but she was completely flexible and happy to help whenever it was best. We have an anxious little dog so the pictures Claudia sent were reassuring he was doing fine. I would definitely request Claudia’s help again in the future.
Lucy has been an extraordinarily gentle/attentive, detailed, proactive, and reliable care giver for our elderly cat, Harlan. She is exceptionally good at communicating before, during, and after her visits--and even in between booked visits, for example, when we wanted to update her on possible shifts in Harlan's care needs. Lucy sends the best videos and visit summaries. The best. But, the most clear evidence of how good she is as a sitter is the fact that Harlan is in such good spirits when we get home from our travels. Thank you, Lucy, for being such a diligent, trusted, and compassionate cat care giver.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Wayland is $44 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $59 per visit. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 11,456 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 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:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
