“Honestly, one of the easiest and luckiest experiences I’ve ever had doing something for the first time. I’ve never used rover and was quite apprehensive about it, but Daphne made it so simple and easy for us! Was very transparent and communication was superb! Would highly recommend choosing Daphne for any pet service and will definitely be utilizing her again in the future! 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

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!

About: I have had dogs all my life, my parents would be at work most of the day so I would take my dogs for walks, feed them, and take care of them. I am committed to creating a nurturing and safe environment for every dog under my care, treating them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide peace of mind to pet owners by ensuring their furry friends receive the highest level of attention and love! I am a recent Graduate from George Mason University and currently have full availability! I am currently in Pennsylvania for the time being, and my schedule is completely open as of right now! I follow the pet's established routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, exercise schedules, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I spend quality time with each pet, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, affection, and playtime, reducing any anxiety they might feel in their owner's absence.

About: I’ve had dogs for over 15 years and have always been very hands on with their care. I raised my Yorkie and Dachshund from puppies and cared for them throughout their entire lives. I’ve also watched other dogs, including Corgis, Maltese, and Beagles, and I’m most comfortable with small to medium sized dogs. My two dogs recently passed away after long, happy lives, and I’m not quite ready to have another dog of my own yet. I have always been an animal lover and genuinely love being around animals. I honestly can’t imagine my life without having an animal around, so caring for other people’s pets feels like a wonderful way for me to still have that companionship while giving their families peace of mind. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs because I cared for my own senior dog through lymphoma, heart disease, kidney disease, and seizures. I’m used to the extra attention, patience, and observation they may need, and I’m comfortable giving medications, injections, or medication with food when needed. Most of all, I truly enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I know how much pets mean to their families, so when I watch someone’s pet, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and at home, not like they are simply being boarded somewhere. I work from home three days a week, so I’m around the house most of the time. On the days I do go into work, my office is only about a 15 minute drive away and my schedule is flexible, so I can come home when needed. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and will do my best to keep the same feeding, potty, walking, and medication schedule they’re used to at home. I want your pet’s stay to feel as normal and comfortable as possible. Your dog will be welcomed into our family life and receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout their stay. My home is best suited for dogs who are comfortable around children and other dogs. We have a fully fenced backyard, and all outdoor time is supervised. This is especially important for smaller dogs. We also have a swimming pool. I understand that some owners may be nervous about a pool, especially if their dog has never been around one before. We moved here two years ago, and my own dogs (6 and 14 pounds) have never fallen into the pool. As a parent, I understand how quickly accidents can happen, so supervision is something I take very seriously. During the winter, the pool is closed and covered. During the warmer months when the pool is open, dogs are never left outside unsupervised. Dogs are free to relax in our living spaces and become part of our daily routine. I carefully supervise introductions between dogs, always feed dogs separately, and provide quiet spaces for rest when needed. Resource guarding around food is common, and I make mealtimes stress free by allowing each dog to eat separately without interruption. I usually host dogs from up to two families at a time, so there may be other friendly dogs staying with us during your dog's visit. Because of this, my home is a great fit for dogs who enjoy a social environment and being part of family activities. If your dog is shy, prefers their own space, or would be more comfortable without other guest dogs present, please feel free to ask about exclusive boarding. Depending on availability, I may be able to accommodate one-on-one stays at an adjusted rate. During holidays or busy periods, I may occasionally welcome additional families if all dogs are compatible and can be safely cared for. My focus is always on maintaining a safe and positive environment for every dog in my care.

About: I’ve had two dogs of my own for over 10 years, so I have plenty of experience taking care of dogs and understanding their needs. I’ve also dog sat for others, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing and making sure dogs are well taken care of while their owners are away. I’m currently a college student, so I work around my class schedule, but I still have plenty of availability throughout the week. Mondays I’m free before 3 PM and after 6 PM, and Wednesdays I’m available before 2 PM and after 5 PM. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my busiest days, but I’m completely free on Fridays and weekends. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that fit their pets’ needs. I always make sure pets are comfortable and well taken care of while their owners are away. I follow each owner’s instructions when it comes to feeding, walks and daily routines. Having two dogs of my own, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise while keeping their environment clean and safe.

I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize communication, consistency, and creating a safe, loving environment. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry best friend is in caring and dependable hands! I’m currently a law student at Villanova, and pet care is something I genuinely enjoy incorporating into my routine! While I balance my classes and studies, I have flexibility throughout the week and on weekends to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet-sitting needs. I love spending time outdoors, staying active, and taking study breaks, so spending time with furry friends is the perfect addition to my day! I am organized, dependable, and communicative about my availability, and I always make sure that any pet care commitments receive my full attention. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents to find a schedule that works best for them and their pups! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities!

I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and comfort level and always prioritize safe, attentive care during walks and playtime. I also understand how reassuring it is to receive updates while you’re away! I’m always happy to send photos, messages, and regular check-ins so you know your furry family member is happy and well cared for.

About: I have experience walking dogs for regular families, as well as pet sitting both dogs and cats for extended periods of time. I’ve also had a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away! I currently work full-time, but that doesn’t stop me from giving your pets the care and attention they deserve! I’m an early riser who loves starting my mornings with a walk, so I would be more than happy to stop by before work to take care of your pet. I also often have hour-long lunch breaks, which I’m more than willing to use to check in on your pets and give them some extra love and attention. I typically finish work around 3:30–4:00 PM (and around 3:00 PM on Fridays), leaving my evenings open for additional visits or walks. On weekends, I am fully available and happy to accommodate all your pet care needs! :) Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority, and when caring for them in your home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine to make sure they remain stress-free and happy! I make sure to follow all care instructions closely, and I remain very attentive during walks and visits to ensure a safe environment for both me and your pet! Alongside this, I also respect your home as if it were my own by keeping things clean, secure, and organized.

About: I have experience with a plethora of different animals. My experience ranges from horses, sheep, dogs, cats, ducks, mice. I can do it all. I recently graduated with an animal science degree, and I work at Havertown Animal Hospital as a veterinary technician. I have some flexibility outside of work hours and on weekends. My diverse experiences and adaptability have shaped me into a trustworthy, hard working individual. I have references upon request! I have time during mornings and afternoons as well as midday if you’re close by. I do work full time, so I’m very transparent about what I can and can’t do! My Shiba Inu and my Australian Shepherd are my babies. I devote time to give them enriching lives even with my busy schedule. I live in an apartment with a high energy dog so I have to make it work or else she would go stir crazy! I plan to treat your animals with the same love and care I do for my own, as well as the animals I work with. Positive reinforcement is my key to success to build positive relationships with your animals. I want them to be excited to hang out with me so that they feel safe while you’re away.

This was my first time using rover and I could not have had a better experience with Alexandra. She went above and beyond taking care of my cats Jules and Fiji. Any nerves I had about leaving my cats with special feeding instructions and medical needs were put to rest by Alexandra. She is a true life saver and you can tell how much she enjoys getting to know your pets and makes every effort to address their needs! Alexandra will be my first choice should I need help checking in on the kitties in the future!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Wayne

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Wayne is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 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 October 2026, there are 9,625 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.

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.
