I was working in finance but am embarking on a new journey and am back in school. my classes are self paced so I am free almost everyday! I own a dog, her name is Joba. She loves making friends, giving kisses and going for long and short walks. She loves being outside. She’s the light of my life

About: Only Accept One Dog at a Time Why We Started Rover Our beloved dog, Hockey, passed away in September 2025 at the incredible age of 19 years and 11 months. After nearly two decades together, our home felt empty. We joined Rover because we missed having dogs in our lives. Today, every dog who stays with us is welcomed like family and cared for with the same love, patience, and respect that Hockey inspired. Every dog is different. Before each stay, we take the time to learn about your dog's personality, routines, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. We carefully follow your instructions so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. Daily Updates We know you'll miss your furry family member, so we'll send plenty of photos and videos throughout their stay, giving you peace of mind that they're happy, safe, and loved. While you're enjoying your vacation, your dog will be enjoying theirs—a true 5-Star Home Stay & Play experience. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—just like they would at home. I’m working from home during weekdays, so your dog will always have company and attention. I enjoy taking dogs on walks in the morning, at lunch, and in the evening. I make sure they get plenty of exercise each day and am happy to run with them at the nearby soccer field In our home, we care for pets as if they were our own—offering plenty of love, attention, and a calm, safe environment. We follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks, play, and rest, to keep them comfortable and happy. Outdoor time is always supervised in our little fenced yard, Whether it’s cuddle time or quiet time, we adjust to each dog’s unique needs so they feel right at home.

About: I have taken care of a few dachshunds and miniature pinchers for friends and family for about 6 years. Feeding, walking, and playing with them. I have grown up with cats as well. I believe that it is important to take each pet's individual personality and preferences into account when caring for them. I have experience with dogs with disabilities, more specifically I have been taking care of a dachshund with IVDD for 2 years, helping him get around and giving medication. He had 4 spinal surgeries over the past 2 years. I currently work for Rocky Mountaineer train, which is a seasonal job (April until mid October). I work from Friday to Monday. My open availability will be every Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday. I own a pet ramp for easy access to furniture that is accessible to small or disabled animals. If your pet needs medication, I encourage a detailed instructive list on how to make your pet as comfortable as possible for a swift recovery. Over all, my main goal is to make your pet feel safe and happy when the owner is away. I have 2 years experience with disabled dogs.
About: I have been taking care dogs since I was in elementary school. I brought my dog from Taiwan to Seattle then Vancouver. I also have experienced taking care of puppies. I raised two dogs in my life. I live with my partner and our schedule support each other to take turns take care of our pets. We love spending time with animals and are responsible for them. I’m a full time master student but only going to school two days a week. I’ll always be aware of what they are doing and how they are feeling. If they come to me for something, I’ll always try my best to figure out what they need. I also emphasize taking care of pets as one of my important routines, which helps me maintain my schedule regularly.
“Emaan is kind and you can tell loves animals. She took great care of my cats. She communicated well and followed all the instructions left. I would definitely ask her to look after my cats again.”
“Great experience with Lauren! She came beforehand and took thorough notes on some specifics with my two cats while I was gone for almost two weeks. She came by daily and made sure cats were fed, litter boxes cleaned, and sent me lots of pics so I knew they were in good hands. Would recommend and use Lauren again for sure :)”
About: 🏡 STAY & PLAY! Picture your pup curled up on the couch after a good walk, tail thumping, fully at ease — because for the length of their stay, they're the only dog in the house and the only thing on my mind. No competing for attention, no chaos, just consistent one-on-one care from someone who's spent 15+ years loving dogs like family. What Sets Me Apart: • 🐕 All Eyes on Your Pup: No dogs of my own means zero competition for attention, toys, or affection — your dog is the star of the stay, not one of the pack. • 🏢 Calm, Cozy Home Base: My apartment is quiet, comfortable and spacious — no stairs to navigate, no other pets to negotiate, just a relaxed space to settle in and feel safe. • 🌳 Walks They'll Look Forward To: Dog Park just minutes away, and it's part of our daily routine — sniff-heavy strolls, brisk exercise, whatever fits. • 🥎 Off-Leash Fun Nearby: Dog Play area in my building, for fetch, zoomies, and making new friends when they're up for it. • 🐾 I Match Their Energy: Up for a long hike or a lazy cuddle day — I take my cues from your dog, not the other way around. • ❤️ 15+ Years as a Dog Owner: From puppy chaos to senior-dog care, I've been through every stage — nothing rattles me. • 📅 Small, Personal Bookings: I keep my schedule light so I'm never rushing between pups — your dog gets real time, not a time-share. Every dog I care for gets treated like they're already family. I believe a little patience, a lot of walks, and genuine attention go a long way toward a pup feeling at home — even somewhere new. I'm working hybrid and work for home for most of the days and I would have lots of time to play have spend quality time with your pets. I have plenty of space in my apartment and also a huge balcony with high fence and also floor to ceiling windows in my living room. Most of the pets love to sit and enjoy the view outside.
“We couldn't be happier with the care our two Ragdoll cats, Honda and Suzuki, received! From the moment we met her, it was obvious she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. Honda and Suzuki each have their own personalities and routines, and she took the time to get to know them, making sure they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. We came home to two relaxed, content cats, which says everything. As any cat owner knows, that's the best sign they were in great hands! She kept us updated with messages and photos, giving us complete peace of mind throughout our trip. It's such a relief knowing we can travel without worrying because we know our cats are being cared for as if they were her own. She is dependable, kind, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. Honda, Suzuki, and we are all very grateful!”
About: I have had animals of my own over the years as well as caring for neighbours animals and several pet sitting jobs. I love to snuggle and chat with pets! My schedule is currently pretty open, I have experience living at home with pets and just dropping in. I am very go with the flow and can make lots work! I have a fenced back yard if need be, I always aim to have a leash on pets just for peace of mind (if outside).
“She was amazing!! I can’t Believe it only took Priyanka one visit to get my shy kitty warmed up to her and my kitty was so happy the week we were away! We will definitely ask her to care for our kitty in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m Kehew. I’ve always had a major affinity for animals of all kinds. Having grown up surrounded by many different animals, my love for animals started at a very young age. My pet care knowledge is always growing, experiences are always happening, and memories are always being made. I love being a pet sitter/dog walker because it gives me the opportunity to meet and bond with so many new pets and their owners, enjoying all the different personalities of the client’s pets. It’s rewarding when a dog gets excited as they recognize me when I come around and I know I am doing my best. I will care for your fur babies as if they were my own while they are in my care. I enjoy making animals as well as their owners very happy! With me you are guaranteed a happy pet, a clean home and a job well done. When I have free time I enjoy going, hiking, swimming, traveling, spending time with my family, and volunteering in my community. I am available any day of the week for dog walks, pet sitting, and house visits. Let me know how I can be your next pet care professional. I always always make sure all gates, doors, fences are secured and leash the pet before we go outside for a walk. For dog walks I form a bond with the dog before bringing around other dogs in a social setting. Caring for pets in your home, I make sure I am introduced to the pet and we are on a comfortable level together before the owner leaves.

About: I grew up with an English bull terrier which was more like a cat! Also, I had black and yellow labs that loved to chase ducks down the river. Growing up I also had a boxer who was the runt of the litter. She was very alpha and liked to do head stands and box! My first rescue animals were a Rhodesian Rottweiler and a blue tick hound. Both were rescued farm dogs that hit the lottery coming into our family! My most recent animals now are two rescue cats from maple ridge humane society. One is 12 with dwarf legs so can't jump or run but I carry her everywhere. The second cat is a black house cat who is almost a year old. They are precious! Walking dogs in the early a.m. and also around dinner works best for my schedule. Weekends are included! I miss having a dog to run so the thought of yours needing a walk makes me want to get rite over there as soon as possible. I have a car that I can take your pooch to there favorite spot to walk! My car is low and easy for your dog to get into!
About: Dear pet parents, over the past 8 years, I’ve been traveling the world as a full time house and pet sitter lovingly caring for dogs and cats across six continents. For me, a home without pets simply doesn’t feel like home 🐱🐶 Along the way, I’ve also regularly worked in animal rescue which has given me experience with anxious animals as well as administering medication. I'm currently living and traveling in Canada and would love to offer my services. Feel free to message me and I’m happy to share lots of positive references 🤍 All the best, Verena I am currently studying online and spend a lot of time at home myself, which means I can dedicate plenty of time to your pets. However, since I also love being in nature, I enjoy taking long walks and even longer hikes. I prefer to care for animals in their familiar environment, at your home, and I do my best to stick to their usual routines and daily habits, as I have found through many years of experience that this is what is best for the animal. :)
“Franshesca was so lovely and took such great care of our cat while we were away! She sent us amazing photos and updates, and her communication was great the whole time. We felt totally comfortable knowing our cat was happy and well cared for. We’d definitely book with Franshesca again 😊”
“Alex was great! She was very responsive during the booking process and even came over for a meet and greet on the rainiest day of the year! She immediately got along with our dog, Moose, and sent us pictures and updates during their walk. We'll definitely book her again!”

Amy was awesome with our pouch! I'm sure he is very happy with the care he received. I noticed how comfortable, confident and caring Amy was during our times together prior to us leaving and felt no concerns leaving our high energy boy in her care. Thanks Amy!
Randona very quickly got to know my pup and all of her weird quirks very quickly. My dog absolutely loves her and looks forward to their walks every day. Randona is communicative, keeping us up to date with any changes and has been very reliable. I dont hesitate in recommending her.
Brad did an excellent job! Besides being amazing with Kami, he's super responsible, punctual, detail-oriented, and a really good person. He truly exceeded our expectations by far. He's definitely someone I'll contact whenever I need him. Brad, thank you so much for everything; you're a wonderful person! 😊😊
Amanda took the time to meet and get to know Nina ahead of coming over to care for her while we were away, making sure our pup felt safe and comfortable with her. Nina loved her immediately. We received pictures and updates every day and never for a second doubted the love and attention our little girl was getting. We highly recommend Amanda and look forward to hearing about Nina’s next visit with her! Jamie and Mark
We had a last-minute need for a dog walker and were incredibly nervous since our pup is still very much a baby. She was absolutely amazing - calm, patient, and so reassuring from the start. She handled everything with so much care and confidence, which instantly put us at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience and are so grateful for how well she took care of our little one. Highly recommend!
Shadnay has done a great job with my black lab! Very punctual and caring towards my boy. As we all know dogs thrive on routine and Shadnay shows up at almost exactly the same time everyday. My dog came down with a cough and could no longer attend daycare for awhile. Shadnay jumped right in and made a very stressful situation for me much easier ! Will most definitely use her services again ! Thanks Shadnay!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Walnut Grove is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $37 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.
There are 4,292 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Walnut Grove. About 85% of Walnut Grove sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
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.
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 Walnut Grove 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 do not have any disqualifying offences.
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.
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.
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.
