“Brooke was great! She housesat for us and we came home to a clean house and a very happy, un-stressed dog & cat. We could tell our pets had been well cared for while we were away! We’d definitely book with her again.”
“Christina never ceases to disappoint. She takes such good care of our lab & our elderly, needy cat. Constant communication allows us to relax while away & rest assured that our home & beloved pets are cared for compassionately. She is always willing to do whatever needs to be done to ensure we are satisfied with her service. Christina gets an A+ from us!”
“Cassidy took great care of our fur babies! Our normal sitter was not available this time, so of course went with another. She took the time to spend with our senior pup when she needed it the most and also gave lots of love to our kitties and cleaned their boxes without asking. Would recommend or use again if needed!”
About: I have experience with pets from 5lbs up to 220lbs. I currently own a Great Dane a Belgian Shepherd and an Aussie/Siberian husky mix, so I’m pretty open to any breed or energy and of course can’t forget about our cat I also have experience giving medication if needed. I’m pretty open, this will pretty much be my side job along with my full time position. Obviously, if I’m not available on the requested days I will let you know beforehand. I do take same day appointments Since I will be offering the services in your home, I try to ask that appointments be made a couple days in advance if you would like for me to come and meet you and your pet just to ensure that everyone is comfortable and I’m not a stranger just walking into your house. If this isn’t possible, that’s okay, please just leave instructions on what you would like me to do that way I can ensure the best care possible!

About: I have loved and owned various animals since childhood and cared for dozens of others throughout the years.

I love animals and taking care of them is truly my passion. I do online school leaving me plenty of time to play with your furry family.

I work from home and have a lot of flexibility throughout the day. I have a fenced yard with lots of room to run. My two grandsons are here after school most days, so if I’m watching your family fur baby in my home they need to be good with kids. Happy to take walks, play fetch, and be their companion while you’re away. I work from home and have flexibility to go for walks, take outside fun breaks and give love and snuggles throughout the day. I am also able to go to your home to let your animals out and give some love a few times a day if needed. I can bring my laptop and work from your home to pet sit if you have high speed internet. I’m off most weekends. I have a large fences yard and a park close to my house. I live alone with no animals. I have two grandsons (7 and 11 years old) that walk to my house after school. I usually only have them for an hour or two before they are picked up. But if your dogs are staying at my house they need to be kid friendly.
“Seras always does an amazing job with our two kitties! This was the longest we’ve ever been away from our kitties, but we were able to enjoy our vacation without worry, as we knew they were in good hands. Thank you, Seras!”
About: I have professional experience working in a pet care facility, where I cared for dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have completed pet care certifications that have strengthened my knowledge of animal behavior, safety, and best care practices. I am comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, and following specialized care instructions. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for every pet while giving owners peace of mind through regular updates and photos. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs frequent potty breaks, exercise, medication, playtime, or extra companionship, I can accommodate their needs.

I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under supervision. I also have friendly, well-socialized pets that can provide companionship for dogs who enjoy social interaction. My professional pet care experience, certifications, and medication administration experience allow me to confidently care for pets with a variety of needs. Every pet receives individualized attention, a clean and secure environment, plenty of affection, and regular updates so you always know how they’re doing during their stay.
“First time using Rover or any dog sitting service and we are very happy. Robert was great with our 3 dogs and respectful of our home. Will definitely use him again in the future.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for 25+ animals, so I’m calm, patient, and confident in situations most sitters aren’t. I don’t just ‘watch’ pets, I understand behavior, routines, and how to keep them safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I’m available for pet care in the evenings after 3 PM on weekdays, with flexible availability on weekends. I’m reliable, responsive, and able to accommodate consistent schedules or last-minute bookings when needed. I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm and familiar. I follow all feeding, cleaning, and medication instructions closely, maintain a clean space, and give each pet attention at their comfort level. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Brittney is great with the animals and very responsive! She helped us out pretty last minute, which we really appreciated. My 2 dogs and 2 cats were in good hands, would recommend!”
“Kristin took such great care of our babies while staying at our house for the weekend. She was very attentive to the details of care for each of our babies. It was a relief to know they were in such good hands while we were out of town. I’m so glad we found her!”
About: Animals have been my world for as long as I can remember. What started as helping family, friends and neighbors care for everything from birds to horses eventually grew into a lifelong career. Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked as a professional kennel technician and spent six dedicated years as a pet groomer. Because of this background, I bring a wealth of hands-on expertise to pet sitting, including administering medications, managing special routines, understanding strict diet precautions, handling grooming needs, and much more. This isn't just a professional skill set for me, it's a personal one. At home, I care for my own sweet pack of senior and special needs cats and dogs who require precise daily medications, so keeping your pet's health routine perfectly on track is second nature to me. I truly believe our pets are family, and they deserve nothing less than the absolute best. I would love to give your furry best friend the expert care, safety, and deep affection they deserve while you're away! I currently work full time in ER overnight Tuesday-Thursday. This allows me to be available most days, ecspecially Friday-Monday. My husband is also off during the summer, so if your fur babies are being boarded at my house, they have 24/7 care. In my home, I have a room dedicated to animals that I board. So if you want them kept separate from my animals they can be. If you want them to have company, I have both cats and dogs that are loving and love new friends. I have a huge back yard that is treated against things like fleas/ticks and it is animal safe. I can provide crates for any size dog if needed. I have tons of dog toys, cat toys, and little pools for cooling down on hot days. I spend a lot of time making interactive fun play times for all my animals. For cats, they also have their own room with calming Sentry plug in to help create a calm environment for them. They will have their own litter boxes, toys, and every comfortable place they can lay in with lots of sunlight. My husband is off in the summers, and I work nights so I am up at night on my days off, in our home your animals have 24 hour care. As far as for care in your own home, I will care for them anyway that you normally do. I offer walks, play time, I can give them pets and hugs, I will do whatever they need to feel comfortable and safe. I can follow any specialized routine your pet may need. I also offer baths and nail trims if requested and it can be completed without stressing the animal too much. I offer these services for both cats and dogs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 251 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wayne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
