About: I offer compassion, patience and understanding. My experience with dogs began as it does for many when I was a child. My grandfather was a dog trainer. He often brought home stray and injured animals. From him, I gained a wealth of knowledge and respect for animals. Throughout my life I have always had various breeds of dog for companionship and have been fascinated with their behavior and psychology. I have been fortunate to experience first hand the stubbornness of English Bulldogs, the hyper activity of Labrador retrievers, and the gentle weight of mastiff's. Beyond the breed specific traits, I found that each and every dog stands as an individual. Just like people, they all have a unique character and needs. I sincerely hope that you may consider me to care for your companion. I am available after 9:00am weekdays and weekends. However special accommodations can be made. My work is remote and allows for a very flexible work schedule. Your dog sees the world through its nose and as such, we will take our time on walks to let them sniff to their heart’s content. Heavy leash pullers are welcome too. During in home care, I adhere to your dog’s daily routines and schedule of feedings, walks, outdoor breaks and medicines when required. Ample playtime and belly rubs are included at no extra charge. Extended park walks and nature hikes can be scheduled to expose your dog to stimulating new environments and experiences.

About: I’ve always been patient and empathetic with animals. I love meeting dogs and cats, caring for them and making them happy. My family dog passed away this year at the age of 16-17. I have a cat. I can be available in the evening/night between 5pm and 8am, and in the morning before 8am. I can’t have other animals in my home because I have a cat. I can’t have other animals in my home due to my two cats, but I’m very respectful of other people’s homes. I never leave the house without making sure my cats are fed or have someone available to check on them if I will be gone for more than a few hours.

About: I've owned dogs, big and small, since I was 8 years old and can't imagine a life without a furry friend by my side. While my 4 year old mini bernedoodle, Winnie, currently receives all my love and care, I'm itching to share that same level of attention with other pups far and wide! (NOTE: Winnie does not accompany me on house sitting bookings unless explicitly requested by the owner, as she prefers to hang home with her other pet-parent) I am extremely detail oriented, responsible, and have a flexible work from home schedule so I'm happy to drop by/sit just about anytime. I've handled dogs of all temperaments and am able to tailor my care to make them feel most at ease. I am personally a very active person and have no problem providing ample exercise for the dogs I look after, but I am equally as excited to lounge around with those who prefer belly rubs over running :) Pet parents will be sure to receive a minimum of 2x daily updates as well as plenty of sweet photos of their fur-baby when in my care. I work from home and have flexible hours, therefore I can adjust my schedule to accommodate your pet's needs. I love going for long walks as exercise, so being able to bring along a furry friend is always a bonus :) I am an extremely vigilant caretaker and treat every pup I care for like they are my own. Making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable is my number one priority.

“We truly appreciated the thoughtful nature of Mary Ann and the care with which she approached our scaredy cats. She arrived on time, took care of the cats and kept us updated along the way. She took the initiative to spent some quiet time with them allowing the cats to trust her and get pets while we were away. She has a very calming personality, she is respectful of cats and understands that pet parents can be anxious leaving their babies home alone. She sent us multiple pictures at each visits and appropriately provided updates. This allowed us to be at ease knowing our cats were well cared for by Mary Ann. I highly appreciate Mary Ann and would love to work with her in the future.”

“Brian went above and beyond to take care of our senior pup while we were away. He kept in contact with Luna's anxious mommy (me) all weekend with updates and double checks. Because Luna needs some extra help, Brian made sure that she was able to take care of all things - Luna was a happy girl when we got home, no doubt due to being well taken care of!”

“Alison was wonderful in her care for our kitties. We had 3 inside and 1 outside. She was timely with her visits and sent photos and updates very regularly. There was a thunderstorm during one of the visits and she could not find one of the cats. She wrote to us that she did not want to go upstairs to the bedrooms because we did not give her access. I really respected her professionalism with that. She is honest and trustworthy. We would highly recommend Alison!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including my own. I’m especially comfortable with small breeds and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I’ve cared for my own senior dog with health needs, including giving medication, keeping an eye on any changes, and making sure they’re comfortable and safe. That’s made me really detail-oriented and tuned in to each dog’s routine. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and I always follow instructions closely. Whether it’s a walk or a drop-in, I want your dog to feel calm, cared for, and happy, and for you to feel at ease too. Pet care fits well into my schedule, and I’m available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week and on weekends. I’m able to plan around scheduled bookings and keep my availability updated so pet parents can count on consistent, dependable care. I provide attentive care in both my home and a client’s home, always following the pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and administering medication if needed. I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency, and make sure pets are not left alone longer than necessary. For walks, I focus on safe, structured outings that match each dog’s energy level and needs. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away.

About: Hi, on an average day your dog would spend it playing, walking,playing, sleeping,playing, eating, and playing some more! I am comfortable giving medications to your dog as I have had two dogs myself for 14 years who needed medication daily. I am also comfortable with most dog breeds/sizes. My home is in a very quiet suburban street with a large completely fenced in yard. I am also minutes (walk/drive) from three beautiful parks. I truly believe that every dog deserves a fun and loving home and I am more than glad to provide my home and time to assure that your dog gets the love and care that he/she deserves!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs, cats, rabbits and have hands-on experience caring for pets. I spent several months caring for a friends dog, including walks, feeding, playtime, and day-to-day companionship. I also grew up with a dwarf bunny for seven years and regularly spent time around my aunt’s four dogs and cat. I’m primarily available in the evenings and on weekends. I’m able to dedicate that time to walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need. I’m organized and dependable, and I’m intentional about making sure each pet’s routine is followed closely, whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, getting their exercise in, or simply spending some quality time together. I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. In the owner’s home, I’ll follow their instructions closely and keep their pet’s normal feeding, walking, playtime, and rest schedule as consistent as possible. I’ll also make sure their home is left clean and secure.

Ellen was amazing for our last minute request for Kobe. Kobe has a lot of personality and Ellen was very patient and so accommodating for our late night and early morning drop-in visits. We would definitely recommend Ellen for your pet care needs and we will use her again. It’s so nice having someone close by to trust with our fur babies!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Wayne on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 25,476 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Wayne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Wayne 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.

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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Wayne with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wayne. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.

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.
