“Hannah was awesome! She was able to accommodate a last minute booking, including setting up a meet and greet in advance of my departure. During the weekend she gave cute updates and pictures, most of which included my needy pug happily curled up in her lap. Very appreciative!”
“Yujie is so kind and caring, and took such great care of our animals and our house while we were away. Our dog can be anxious with new people, but she felt comfortable with Yujie right away and was also so calm and happy when we returned from our trip as well! So glad to have found Yujie and we look forward to booking her again :)”
“Alexandra stayed two nights with our lab and golden. She kept us updated and we came home to happy, well-cared for dogs and a clean house. We will definitely use Alexandra again!”
“Marisa was great! She was responsive to my request, informative and clearly caring. She kept me informed with texts and pictures and handled a few minor issues that arose with ease and maturity. She was all I could hope for in a pet sitter!”
“Kristina was amazing! She kept us updated on Nike, Bandit, and Fin, and we came back to a super clean home with happy pups! She’s very responsible, she showed up to the meet and greet right on time, and the dogs took to her right away. We will absolutely be asking her to babysit again in the future.”
“Nico was amazing with our pups!! He took them for walks, played in the yard even bought them toys! he sent messages and pictures throughout his stay. my house was left in perfect condition; you couldn't tell anyone had been here! Nico was the best!!!”
About: I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs, from judgy chihuahuas to laid-back Bernese mountain dogs. I’ve taken care of them from their playful puppy days through their senior years. I’m patient, experienced, and understand that every dog has their own unique personality, and I’m here for all of it! I currently work full-time (9am–5pm, Monday through Friday), but I’m flexible and happy to coordinate with your schedule to make sure your baby gets the care they need! I prioritize safety and trust by keeping open, honest communication. As long as you fill me in on any quirks, meds, or non-negotiables, I’ll keep things running just how they like it. And if anything feels off or out of my league, I’ll be honest, because your dog’s safety is way more important than winging it!
“If I could give Katy 10 stars, I would! I’m very particular about who I trust with my dogs, but she is officially a miracle worker. Not only were my dogs clearly pampered and happy, but she went totally above and beyond by cleaning my house, something I didn't even request! Coming home to happy pups and a clean home was the best gift ever. She is professional, kind, and clearly loves what she does. Do yourself a favor and hire her immediately. Already booked her for my next trip in May :)”
“Angela was outstanding. We are slightly overbearing pet parents but Angela followed everything we outlined and regularly gave us updates and sent photos. It gave us peace of mind while we were aware that our son was being taken care of. Highly recommend her and will definitely be reaching out for our next trip!”
“Maya took great care of our home and dogs while we were away! She was communicative, responsible and patient with our 11 month old lab. Both of our dogs enjoyed their time with Maya.”
“Amy took very good care of my fur babies. She walked and fed them every day, plus stayed at the house. She even got my “scary cat” to come out of hiding. I have booked her for a second housesitting for a longer period of time. I trust her but most of all the fur babies trust her. I would recommend her to anybody.”
About: I have worked for a profession pet sitter for 3 years, as well as growing up with dogs my whole life. I have sat for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and numerous farm animals. I have been personally responsible for my own dog for the past 2 years as well. I am comfortable giving medications orally and intravenously (diabetic pets, etc), and have experience with many different sizes and breeds of pets. I am working full time currently, however I am looking for some supplemental income, and I love working with animals more than anything. I can arrange my work schedule if I have enough notice. I always make sure the pets feel safe and comfortable, and I insist on a meet and greet first so the pet is familiar with me. We can go for long walks or hikes, or potty breaks and play time inside.
About: Hi everyone, my name is Emily and I am excited to partner with Rover to do what I love best; working with all kinds of different animals. I work a full time job and devote my time off watching your furry loved ones. Please feel free to ask me any questions about my pet experience. Thank you and feel free to book with me soon. 🐾 I work a full time job however I accept house sittings and drop in bookings. My weekends are free and my evenings as well after 6pm for a drop in visit and dinner. I have a hour lunch break that I can accept drop ins, feeding and walks. I am pretty basic when it comes to caring for your animal. I follow the directions provided to me by the owner and create a bond with the animal. I want the pet to feel safe and comfortable with me most importantly. Fun time is always added in when we are following the schedule set by the parents. I love to send updates and create a full photo album of there entire booking. It helps create a base relationship with the pet owners seeing their pet relaxed and enjoying their absence.
About: I’ve had dogs in my family since I was a kid and I’ve helped my parents take care of them over the years. I am my mom’s go-to person to take care of her dogs even though I live almost two hours away. I will make sure you pet gets plenty of potty breaks, gets sufficient exercise by walking or playing, gets fed, and gets plenty of attention, pets and love. I work full time during the week, but I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. I am available from Thursday evening to Monday evening for boarding or house sitting. Outside of work, you can usually find me on a pickleball court somewhere, at the gym, or hanging around my apartment catching up on shows, movies or video games. My furniture and bed is completely pet friendly. I highly recommend the bed as it is quite comfortable and I encourage your dog to snuggle with me on the couch while we watch tv. My apartment building has a spacious yard, although it is not fenced-in. This means I will be walking with your dog whenever they need to go potty, which is fine because it’s an excuse for me to get outside! I am also a big fan of walks, so I will make sure your dog is getting out and stretching those legs.
“Nicolle was fantastic. We were in a pinch for a sitter and she checked all the boxes and left our apartment just as we left it. Great pairing for our slightly anxious dog. Highly recommended!”
“Tim is the absolute best! He gave us regular updates about our dogs while we were away and that gave us the peace of mind that they were happy at home. He also went above and beyond by cleaning the sheets, straightening up, etc so we had less to do when we got back from our vacation. We’ve used him 3 times now and we’ll continue to use him!”
About: I have cared for my own pets (two cats and a dog) for over 8 years and have hands-on experience working in animal shelters. I understand how to build trust and friendships with animals, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, and from Tuesday to Thursday I’m available after 5:00 PM to take care of your fur babies. I’m also available on weekends upon request. :) For client homes, I follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep pets in their familiar routine—whether that’s feeding, walking, play, or medication. I focus on making sure each pet feels loved, safe, and well looked after.
About: Hi, nice to meet you! I’ve taken care of all size dogs, small, medium, and large, and I’m excellent at keeping them under control when they act out. I’m currently enrolled in college, so if my location says Villanova, PA, my availability will depend on when I do/don’t have classes. If my location says White Plains, NY, I’m practically free whenever. Feel free to reach out :) In my house, I care for my dog by making sure he has food every few hours, I take him outside to play when necessary.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wayne
Tina was great with our senior dog, Henry! She was very communicative and gave him lots of love and affection when she visited. She was also so helpful in getting our mail and bringing in our packages while we were away on vacation. We would absolutely love to use Tina again the next time we are away!
Deven was awesome! He stayed at our house with our pup while we were out of town and took great care of everything. We got updates every day and our pup had a great time. Deven took care of a bunch of house things as well and even handled trash day for us. He’s reliable, friendly and great with animals. We’d recommend him to anyone!
We had a great experience with Alex while she watched Benny for a few days. I felt completely comfortable with her handling him, and she kept me updated every day with the perfect amount of photos and messages. It was clear Benny was well cared for and having a great time. When we came home, we were greeted by one happy and tired pup! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their dog.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Wayne is $71 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $83 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 , 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.
