“Elton was amazing! This was our first time booking an in-home sitter, and I left a long list of instructions before we left. He was incredibly responsible and followed everything carefully. He sent lots of photos and gave us daily updates on how our fur babies were doing. When we got home, the house was super clean. He even helped shovel the driveway and walkway! And the dogs kept going back to the room he stayed in looking for him — that’s when I knew they had definitely been spoiled these past two days. Thank you so much and we will definitely book again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life, specifically high energy breeds such as German Shepards. I have a five year old Labrador Retriever mix and a two year old Siberian Husky. I have personally trained all of my dogs on everything. My work schedule is pretty flexible which allows me to pet sit almost any day and any time. I do tend to be more available in the evenings or on weekends. I have a fully fenced yard that surrounds the property. I also have two very well trained and friendly dogs that live on the property. I have a crate, if needed. I also have gates both the front door and back door so that no animals can get out.
About: I've taken care of neighbor and family pets since the 1990s, mostly cats and dogs. I'm comfortable with daily care, feeding schedules walks, playtime, and helping pet feel calm, safe, and well looked after. I make my own schedule so I'm able to help watch pets almost anytime. Weekdays, weekends, days, nights, all sorts of times. Hit me up! I have a large fenced yard and one dog who gets along well with others. When I'm caring for a pet at its house I'm very respectful of the space.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life! I have a dog of my own. I walk my friends dog and also watch family and friends dogs for short periods of time. I walk my dog everyday after school! I am also on a different dog walking app so I try and accept walks when ever they’re available! I hang out with the pets I am watching, play with them! I also take them on walks, keeping in mind what kind of dog they are and their stamina to dictate how far we go! I make sure I pick up after myself and after the dog everytime!
About: Hello! I’m Allison, and I have an overwhelming love for animals! I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have plenty of experience dog-sitting for friends and family, caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from little Beagles to big German Shepherds. In addition to my personal experience, I have professional experience working in animal shelters, where I helped provide daily meals, maintain clean living spaces, and administer medication. I have experience with a wide range of canine temperaments, from more reactive or aggressive dogs who need extra patience and understanding to calm, senior dogs who benefit from a gentler approach and extra TLC. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I always strive to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how difficult it can be to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, so my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands! I’ll treat your pet with the same love, attention, and care I would give my own. I’m currently a full-time student and am looking for a flexible side job to help pay for college. Since I’m not currently working, I have flexibility in my schedule to dedicate time and attention to your furry friends. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s individual needs and routine. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or if you’d like to know more about me. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐾 I’m currently a full-time student, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Since I’m not currently working, I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and overnight care. I prioritize making sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, love, and care while sticking to their usual routines as closely as possible. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual needs and their owner’s schedule! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I treat every home with respect and care for each pet as if they were my own. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications if needed, and any special routines or behavioral needs. I have experience with dogs of all temperaments, from energetic and reactive dogs to calm senior dogs, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s personality and comfort level. I provide a clean, safe, and loving environment, plenty of attention, and regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family member is in good hands!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wayne
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Wayne is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $75 per night.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
