“Lynne was such a great sitter for my cat Lily. I loved the pictures and messages she sent everyday. I was flying back home into a snowstorm and she graciously offered to stay with Lily if my flights got delayed or canceled. That was a big relief because I was worried Lily might be left alone for a day. Lynne left my house so clean I could hardly tell a house sitter was there. I will definitely book Lynne again when I need a sitter for Lily in the future. Thank you very much Lynne.”
“Cherry was so great with my dog Dallas. She was happy to house sit 3 nights last minute for me and her and Dallas are new BFF’s. I was completely comfortable leaving him and received updates and pictures. They had a great time and will definitely reach out to Cherry again when I need a sitter and highly recommend her.”
“House Sitting/Pet care Jan. 2026 Hannah Del was once again great with our pets. She is very loving and I know they like her since they were sad when she had to leave. She keeps us updated on their days with excellent communication; she administered their meds and kept the house tidy while we were away. We were delayed in our return flight from the east coast during the recent snowstorm, and Hannah kindly stayed the extra day giving us one less thing to worry about. Can't say enough good things about her. We will definitely be booking her in the future. Thanks again, Hannah!”
“Our cats have always been very shy around new people, but Aurora was able to coax them out in almost no time during our initial meeting. Throughout the week, she sent us regular updates with plenty of pictures, and with each one we could tell that they were completely comfortable with how naturally they were acting. On top of taking excellent care of our cats and the house, she was also great with our bearded dragon, making sure she got her regular meals (bugs included) and checking her comfort level frequently. We would absolutely recommend Aurora to everyone who wants to make sure their pets have a genuine animal lover looking after them!”
“Brianna was a fantastic dog and house sitter for our pug, Hurley. He is an older dog who tends to be quite anxious and he took to her well. She was very tending to his needs and all of the instructions that I left for her. She updated me with pictures and let me know how he was doing during our four day trip. When I returned home, our house was kept tidy during her stay. She was very respectful of our home, of our dog, as well as kind and attentive. I felt that Hurley was very safe and well taken care of in Brianna's care! I would highly recommend her for all of your pet sitting and caring needs.”

“Ciera was amazing! She showed up on time. Asked questions in regards to care, schedule and special instructions. I like the fact that she works at a dog day care. So she's experienced. She left my home tidy and even brought in my packages. I will use her again.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for all animals! I pay attention to each pets routine and needs throughout the day. And I will be keeping you updated with pictures and videos on how they are doing. I work from home and have all the free time in the world! And also don’t have any pets right now! So all my focus would be on your fur baby. Because I am home 24/7 they wouldn’t be allowed to be left alone or get into anything. We would have unlimited walks or play time!! Or if they are the fur baby that likes to relax it’s plenty of clean spots for them in my home ❤️
“Jackie is amazing! She watched my Huey at my house for 5 nights. Huey loves her. She kept me up to date daily with pics and texts. She’s so sweet. I was away for my son’s wedding. I never worried. Then, to top it off she left me a beautiful flower bouquet and huge Welcome Home balloon…thanking me for letting her watch my little guy. She is my go to now! I’m almost afraid to say all this because she’ll be booked! Please have Jackie watch your fur babies. She’s a treasure. 🥰”
About: I grew up owning dogs, so I understand routines, patience, and consistency. I’m attentive, reliable, and focused on providing calm, respectful care tailored to each dog. I work at a hospital and am typically available after work on weekdays. I’m off at 3:30 PM and home by 4:30 PM, making evenings ideal for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. My weekend availability may vary as my work schedule changes. I follow pets’ routines and their care instructions closely, providing walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship while respecting their space, maintaining cleanliness, and keeping owners informed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wayne
Molly was phenomenal start to finish. I have never left my dogs for more than a day with someone that wasn’t family so this was a new experience for me and for the dogs but I was quickly put at ease. Leaving your dogs as well as your house in a stranger’s hands always has the potential to go horribly wrong, but Molly proved that she’s up to the task. Not only did she take great care of the dogs, she left our house better than she found it and she communicated clearly how things were going and any issues that came up. In short she did her job perfectly. I can’t think of a bad thing to say and I’ll definitely reach out to her in the future the next time I need someone to watch them.
Jennifer was great. She spent day and nights at my home with my cat Lily. When I returned a week later Lily was happy and my house was spotless. Jennifer also left me the sweetest thank you card. I would highly recommend Jennifer to sit or you. She loves animals and they love her. She also sent me multiple pictures and I loved that.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Wayne is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $76 per night. 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Wayne walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Wayne maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Wayne choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wayne. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
