“We use Debbie anytime we got on a big trip and she is always fabulous. She is extremely communicative and we never worry about leaving our girls with her. Cant recommend her enough.”
“Rachal is so patient and a calming presence for our very anxious fearful doggie. Communication and coordination with Rachal was seamless and we received several updates and photos of the doggos completely relaxed and happy.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have experience with medications and other special needs your pet may have. I love loving on dogs and love to enrich their time with bubbles or other activities like sniff and seek. The dogs will hang out with me, go on walks twice daily walks, play bubbles or play fetch, or swim if your dog is interested! We also love naps in our house and overall have a great time. I have a dog park and walking trail at my apartment. I have a dog wash and would be happy to bathe your dog before their return. I have a 4 year old golden retriever who is well-socialized and loves to make new friends. I also make homemade dog treats :)
“The best dog sitter!! Darla has truly saved us this last month with all the travel we have had to do. She is so responsive and I know our dog was in great hands! Our flight was majorly delayed and she stayed extra time to make sure he was cared for. Our house is always clean, she sends us tons of pictures and videos, and we cannot recommend her enough!”
“Amazing Dog Sitter! Makaehla was absolutely incredible while we were away. She stayed at our house and loved on Raven and Rasco like they were her own. We came home to happy pups and a spotless house, which says everything about how well she takes care of both pets and home. She went above and beyond, communicated perfectly, and gave us total peace of mind the entire time. We will definitely be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Marina was fantastic with our crew of five cats! She was incredibly communicative throughout the sit, sending regular updates with photos that put our minds at ease every day. She gave all the kitties their regular outside cube time and even kept our fish thriving. What really stood out was how she won over our most particular cat, which is not an easy feat and speaks to her patience and genuine care. We’d trust Marina with our cats (and fish!) again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“Annabelle was just fantastic! She took exceptional care of my dog and three kitties. She is absolutely great. Extremely reliable, she kept me updated regularly and sent pics while I was away. She also took better care of my home than I ever could too. Thanks so much for everything Annabelle! You rock! To anyone looking for a great sitter, look no further. She’s the best of the best. Book with to confidence. You won’t go wrong with Annabelle!”

“Tessa was wonderful during her stay of four nights with our little morkie Coco they bonded she took her for walks everyday and played with her. She also has dog training experience and worked on some training with her as well. We felt that she communicated with us throughout our trip and sent us pictures and videos to relax our minds that Coco was in good hands! We would recommend Tessa to anyone and will definitely be calling on her for future trips!”
“Kayla is the BEST! Highly recommend. She took great care of my precious pups and also my house. In fact, I was delighted to come home to a spotless house. I hadn't expected that! I hope to use Kayla again in the future.”
“Oh my goodness!! There are no words to describe how pleased we are with Alexandra. She is by far the best care taker for our dogs and our home. We are so over the top dog owners and she totally respects the love we have for our pets. She followed all our directions to a T. We tell how happy our dogs were by the photos she sent. Olive was rolling around in the grass so happy. And, Cassie was bossing her around as usual. We highly recommend Alex for exceptional care and the love most of all. Its not just a job for her she truly loves animals 💕. Worth every penny!!”

“Ryan was amazing! Our two dogs are super lovey but slow to warm up to new people an he handled them well and had them following him around very quickly. When we got home, while they were of course happy to see us, they did not seem as sad/needy as they have when we have ben out for similar lengths of time (~10days). Ryan is amazing and kept us informed the entire time, even with a 6 hour time difference. Will definitely book again!!”
“Lillian (Ruthie) took such loving care of my li'l girl Sadie! This was my first time leaving her since a cross country move, and Ruthie helped keep Sadie's routine consistent while giving her a quiet, comfortable environment. She was also wonderfully communicative, trustworthy, and caring. Thank you, Ruthie, and we look forward to having you out again!”
About: I’ve taken care of a lot of dogs ever since I was young. From pet sitting, as well as owning my own. I have two Rottweilers that are my favorite ever! I think dogs are one of the best companions a person can have, and overall I love spending time with animals! I include a bunch of add ons. Baths, Nail trims, brushing, adventure walks! I have open availability as of right now! So I’m open to whatever schedule is needed to make sure your dog is taken care of in the best way possible! Whether it's in my home or a client's home, I ensure their daily routines are maintained, offer plenty of playtime, exercise, and cuddles, and monitor their health and well-being. I also follow any special instructions for feeding, medication, or behavior management. For pet sitting in a client's home, I make sure to keep the environment familiar and stress-free, while offering updates and photos to keep owners informed. My priority is always the happiness and safety of your pet!

FAQs for House Sitting - Walburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,877 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Walburg. 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 Walburg 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 Walburg 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 Walburg 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
