“This was our first time using Jennifer as a cat sitter. She is trustworthy and very caring. She checked in with us after each visit and sent us pictures and notes. She followed all our instructions. We will definitely use Jennifer in the future for when we need a sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Joselin has taken care of my Shephard twice. Nala does not do well with other dogs and therefore boarding her is not an option. Joselin is absolutely wonderful with her and never fails to send me a picture during each visit. When I get home Nala is happy and safe. I could not have asked for a more dedicated pet sitter.”
“Ivy has been absolutely amazing over the past month. She was able to hop right in two days after our little pup came home, and has been a godsend on my in-office days. Gilly loves her and enjoys playing and snuggles. I would definitely recommend her for her excellent communication, demeanor, and professionalism, and even as our pup moves to Puppy Preschool, we will still be working with Ivy whenever we need a sitter or a drop-in.”
About: As a lifelong pet parent, I know that your pets aren't just animals. They are family. I spent 18 beautiful years caring for my beloved Chihuahua and 13 years with my wonderful gray tabby cat. Loving them through every stage of their lives gave me deep, firsthand experience with senior pet care, strict feeding schedules, and the patience required for both small dogs and sensitive cats. In addition to raising my own pets, I am the go-to sitter for friends and family whenever they need a reliable hand. I specialize in evening walks and dinner-time drop-ins, making sure your pets get their energy out, their bellies filled, and plenty of love while you are at work, out for the evening, or out of town. I pride myself on being attentive, communicative, and treating every pet I visit with the exact same care I gave my own. My full-time workday wraps up on the East Side of Detroit, meaning I hit the road and am ready to care for your pets by 5:30 PM, Monday through Friday! Whether you are a commuter stuck in traffic, working late, or enjoying a night out, I am perfectly positioned to step in right as your workday ends. While my Saturdays are reserved for family time, my Sundays are completely open for extended walks and daytime drop-ins. Best of all? Since I don't have any pets of my own right now, my home is quiet, and 100% of my energy, love, and attention is saved exclusively for your furry family members during our visits. Safety and trust are my absolute top priorities. Because I focus exclusively on in-home visits and neighborhood walks, my entire attention is locked onto your pet and their immediate environment. When conducting drop-ins and walks, I follow a strict safety protocol: • Gear Checks: Before we even step out the door, I double-check that all collars, harnesses, and leashes are perfectly snug, secure, and escape-proof. • Proactive Awareness: During walks, I am highly vigilant and constantly scan the environment. I proactively watch for other dogs, wildlife, or triggers to prevent stressful face-to-face interactions entirely. • Real-Time Photo Updates: I know how tough it is to be away from your pets, so I always send plenty of photos and a quick update during our visit. You'll get peace of mind seeing their happy face and knowing they are safe, fed, and having fun. • Respectful In-Home Care: Inside your home, I strictly follow your house rules, ensure doors are securely locked behind me, and make sure your pet is safely settled, fed, and comfortable before I leave.
“Faith checked in on our cat while we were out of town for spring break. There was a little hiccup at the beginning but we figured it, and after that every went smoothly. Faith was very honest and accommodating which I both appreciate very much. Communication went well, and the regular picture updates showed clearly that our cat felt comfortable enough around Faith to come close engough to get petted and to play. We arrived home to a well cared for cat and home. Thank you very much. When we need a sitter again and our schedules line up, I'm booking Faith again.”
About: I've almost always had a cat and small animals in my home since I was a kid, and I love all animals! If I'm unsure of a certain animal or breed for sitting, I'll happily do my research before the interaction. Any questions, please feel free to reach out! I have done many cat sitting/house sitting gigs in the past. I currently have a completely open schedule so your pets will be my #1 priority. They will get all the attention and play they can handle! I have 3 cats of my own, my standards for them are cleaning the litter boxes once per day (I have 5 of them), daily brushing for my long-haired cat and weekly for my short-hairs, scheduled feeding and clean fountains at all times! Lots of one-on-one play time as well, and I'm happy to do all of this and more for your furry friends.
About: I’d love the opportunity to take care of your pet! I love dogs and cats, and have one cat of my own. :) I currently care for family and friends pets when they are out of town, but would love to add a few more pets to my schedule for boarding/drop-ins or walks. I am responsible & reliable and will treat your pet with much love and care! My current availability is evenings after work and weekends. During the summer months (mid June, July, August) my availability is open and I can provide pet care any time. I will follow all directions and give your pets the same love and care I give my sweet babies at home! I am reliable and respectful of others home & pets. You can count on me to take excellent care of your pets!
“Jaicyn was a lifesaver! Partner and I were out of town and couldn’t check in on our Zenon during extensive power outages and Jaicyn swooped in on *no notice* to make sure Z was doing okay and getting enough food, pets, and attention—on the *same night* we put in the request. HIGHLY recommend Jaicyn’s expertise to anyone.”
About: Hi! A beloved animal lover with years of experience. Weather it’s long walks, belly rubs, or playing with your puppy Im here to make your life a whole lot easier. I treat every furry friend as my own. Zoomies guaranteed! I work during the day and every other weekend. I’m open to scheduling suggestions or accommodations if needed. My schedule verifies, but I’m willing to try and make things work. I can provide any service needed for your dog or cat. Any rules or regulations regarding your puppy or kitten will be followed accordingly. I want to provide the safest, most enjoyable environment for your pet.
“Mary is one of the best! And I have hired many Rover service providers, over 10 within the past 5 years. Mary provided effective quality communication, punctuality, and most importantly lots of love for my dog. I felt good about her emphasis on prioritizing love plus the safety & health of my fur baby. I recommend Mary.”
About: I have had pets all my life and also worked at petsmart for over a year when in college. I have had many breeds of dogs growing up and currently only have cats. I am currently available all day during the week and on the weekends for pet care needs! I will be for about a month or so. Most of my reviews come from wag as I am used to using that app andRover is new to me I always make sure that my pets needs are met and try to be the best I can. My cats go to the vet yearly and receive all updated shots and medical attention if needed.
“Isabelle was amazing! I loved reading her descriptions of her visits and the photos of my babies 💖 I was comforted on my trip knowing she was taking such good care of them. I could tell she really loves animals and my cat MooMoo definitely misses her already lolll, I'll for sure be booking again in the future 💕”
“Ray is the man!! He was great with both my cat and my silly lab. Being an ocean away from home was worrisome, but Ray made it easier on all of us, by keeping my fur-babies well cared for, and keeping me and my family aware of how they were doing. I have nothing I can say, but thank you!! =)”
About: I've had the pleasure of growing up in a dog household ever since I was little. I have worked with a number of various breeds but have had the opportunity to raise a German Shepherd as well as my current Australian Shepherd and Blue heeler, who both have plenty of energy. I’ve been blessed with finding a work from home job as an RN and am free most days to help your pup. I took a little break from Rover but am back now that I have a more flexible schedule. Looking to meet your pups and create a consistent schedule ! I have a decent sized fenced backyard that will give your doggo plenty of space to run around with my Australian shepherd dog. I also have space for a crate if they are crate trained.
About: Hi! I’m a social work student with a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience caring for dogs. I grew up with dogs and have a strong understanding of their behaviors—what they need, how they communicate, and what that means for the people who love them. I know how much pets are a part of the family, and how important it is to have someone you trust to care for them when you can’t be there. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, dependable, and attentive—not just to animals, but also to the routines, preferences, and peace of mind of their humans. Every pet is unique, and I’m always happy to adapt to their personality and needs with patience, compassion, and care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just good company, I’m here to support both you and your furry family member. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I’m a student with a flexible schedule, and spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy and find grounding. Whether it’s early morning walks, afternoon playtime, or evening check-ins, I’m happy to build my day around making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow any routines or preferences you have—whether that’s specific feeding times, walk schedules, or little quirks your pet loves. With my own dogs, I’ve used positive reinforcement to teach commands and tricks, and I’m always gentle and encouraging. I bring that same approach to every animal I care for—lots of praise, patience, and treats (if allowed!). I also pay close attention to body language and behavior so I can respond to your pet’s needs in real time, whether they’re feeling playful, anxious, or just want some quiet company. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, seen, and loved—just like I’d want for my own.
“Carissa dropped in on my two cats twice a day when I was out of town for a week. She followed all written instructions and wrote professional descriptions of their daily activities within each Rover Card. Both cats really appreciated all the playtime and brushes! We look forward to having her back again (yes even Violet).”
“Emily is the best!!! She is so thorough and has great communication. My dog had the best time with her in the 2.5 weeks I was gone. I didn’t worry about her once because I knew she was in the best care with Emily. ☺️”
About: I take care of dogs of all sizes— from little Jack Russels all the way up to Bull Mastiffs and St.Bernard’s! My aunt used to run agility with her dogs so I often got to help reinforce behavioral teaching. I work in a hybrid office setting, so while I may need to go into the office some days, I always do my best to maintain your pet’s routine while you’re away! Since I have two dogs who have trouble socializing, I generally come to my clients. I ask about any special commands or needs or scheduling for the pets up front so that they have some consistency while you’re away!
About: I can’t have pets where I’m currently living and it breaks my heart. I miss being surrounded by dogs and cats. I fill that void by pet sitting! I love seeing and taking care of family and friends dogs. Going back to watch them is like visiting with a friend. I grew up with all sorts of animals - cats, dogs, and reptiles and amphibians! I love them all! I work part time but they are 8 hour shifts so certain days I’m gone for a majority of it. Working on getting a remote job but for now, I’ll be out a couple days a week. This would be a discussion with the pet owner but I’m a rule follower! I never want anything to happen to your pet on my watch - I can’t think of anything worse than having to tell someone something happened to their pet. Whatever care instructions you give me, I’ll follow.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wayne
Jen was awesome! She provided great care for our two cats. Even though our older cat was less than pleased to be left with a sitter, Jen was persistent and was able to somewhat win him over, which can be quite an accomplishment. We appreciated her communication, reliability, and patience. We have already re-booked with her.
Ryan showed up early, followed directions well and my pups absolutely loved play time with him! He sent plenty of photos and a detailed review of the visit! He even retrieved my package off my porch for me. I’m absolutely thrilled with Ryan and look forward to my pups meeting him again!!!
Joselin has taken care of my Shephard twice. Nala does not do well with other dogs and therefore boarding her is not an option. Joselin is absolutely wonderful with her and never fails to send me a picture during each visit. When I get home Nala is happy and safe. I could not have asked for a more dedicated pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Wayne is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 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 3,873 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wayne. 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 Wayne. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 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.
