About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats most of my life as well as birds, rodents, reptiles, and fish. I am happy to prepare fresh or specialty foods as needed. Seniors and special needs pets as well. I'm not squeamish. Health care and Military background. This is my primary source of income. I adore pets and look forward to meeting with my clients and their humans daily. Fur feathers scales or fins, I love them all. Safety and security is always number one! I want to be sure you come home to a happy health pet in a secure home. Your pet will be provided with the supplied food, ample water and given time to exercise. They will be given as much attention and love as they would like and they will be returned safely in the designated area. Your pets and your home are always respected. I stay where your pets are allowed and where you designate and that's it.
“Brittaney did a great job keeping an eye on my two kids! She clearly loves dogs and took wonderful care of mine while I was away, she stayed in contact and sent lots of pictures too! I’ll definitely try to schedule her for my next trip.”
“Sarina came through again. Our geriatric dog Sprite has a real finicky appetite. Sarina was great at communicating what Sprite was doing, and was great at trying different things to get Sprite to eat.”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals pretty much since I could walk. My family has had chickens, quail, pigs, horses, goats, guinea pigs, and of course dogs and cats! I’ve also worked as a ranch hand at a goat farm for 2+ years. Currently the only doggie I can call my own is my sweet Nala. She is a mini schnauzer who loves people and is quick to play with other pups. I currently work part time and attend college on Mondays and Wednesdays. So I can almost always sit or board Thursday-Saturday. I love walking and jogging so I’m always up for that. I’m currently in the midst of moving into an apartment with my best friend who also owns a friendly collie named Josie. And I have my sweet Nala. I will be able to board in the future but it will probably not be till September-October.
About: I grew up with a dog in one home and a cat in the other after my parents divorced. Both animals made it to old age and got plenty of attention. I work Tuesday-Saturday and get off at 6:00 unless it’s winter time then I’m off at 5:00. I also have other hobbies/responsibilities but the schedules for those are flexible. I live in a full house so I will have people able to sit the pets during my working hours too. Dogs and cats will be given food, water, protection, attention, play, and have multiple people in the house with experience in taking care of animals.
“We booked Shania to house sit for more than a week and take care of our two dogs and two cats. She was great, and our babies loved all the snuggles and attention she gave them! She provided regular updates and was easy to communicate with, which gave us peace of mind while traveling. One of our cats requires special feeding, and one of our dogs is geriatric, needs medication, and has a special food mix. Shania was well-versed in taking care of their needs and we will definitely be booking her again for our next trip!”
About: I BOARD ALL PETS... They are all welcome! From puppies to senior dogs, timid and shy to energetic and playful. Hosted them all with great reviews and references. My earliest appointment is 8a and the latest appointment 8pm. I am also available most days of the week to host and or walk your puppies.

We have plenty space where your puppies will feel safe and enjoy themselves. Lastly, although I personally do not have any pets of my own, I do board them and I stay relatively busy. That being said I can accommodate your puppy if they need separate quarters and alone yard time.
About: I live on a farm, have 1 border collie named Maximus who is 12yrs old, 1 Catahoula Mrs. Katniss that’s 10months and train dogs as well. I have a 115 acre farm area where your pet can run and play! Awesome place for a dog and Max/Kat loves visitors. They can run around, play, throw rope, whatever your pet enjoys. If your pet likes to be active I certainly have the area for it! Your pet and I go on daily walks and daily awesome adventures. If needed I have GARMIN tracking collars to place on dogs that may venture away during adventures, just let me know and I’d be more than happy to let your furry friend borrow one of mine! It will have an awesome time and I’ll send daily photos of our cool trips to your cell phone. I will be the only person handling and taking care of your baby. Pets staying 7+ days will also get to enjoy basic obedience training a few times a day. Our goal is to send pets home better than they left.

However, we stand by the fact that you get what you pay for. Please consider that a professional trainer will be with your pet 24/7 while in my care* We are here to provide great customer service and care for pets, not engage in a price war. I work from home, train dogs, and will be with them 24/7. Your dog will receive continuous love from me and my wife. It’s a great environment. If your dog stays inside at your house it’s inside at mine. I can keep them in a kennel in the living room with my other 2 dogs.
“We highly recommend ASHLEY for any of your pet care needs. Our dogs, Mia and Bella are like our children, and we are very particular about who we allow to care for them. Ashley cares for our dogs as if they were her own. She is extremely dedicated, professional and responsible when sitting with our dogs. Ashley gives us an update on how they did and pictures or video of them during her stay. We can travel now and have confidence knowing they are loved and in such good hands while we’re gone. Ashley provides such a wonderful, caring service…you can’t get that just anywhere!! Judy & Roger L.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 168 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Walter. 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 North Walter 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 North Walter 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 North Walter 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 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.
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.
