“We had a great experience with Riley house sitting. We have a 9 month old who can be a handful and a very shy 3 year old and it sounds like they both did great with her. We also have 2 low maintenance cats that she kept an eye on since she was here. Riley stayed overnight and our pups were able to stay close to their routine and relaxed in their own environment. This was our first time trying house sitting and I think it might be the way to go for us. I would book with Riley again!”
“We are so happy we found Amanda! This was our first time using her, and she went above and beyond caring for our dog while we were away. She sent lots of updates and cute pictures, which gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was happy and well cared for. Amanda was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared about our dog. We couldn’t be more pleased and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter.”
“This was our first time needing someone to house/pet sit. I was a bit nervous, but Andrew was confident at the meet and greet that everything would be just fine. He took wonderful care of our fur babies. He gave us updates. He sent us some wonderful pictures and a video of Lucy playing. He asked good questions. I was able to leave town for the first time in a while and enjoy myself knowing someone was going to be there. He did the expected chores morning and evening. He kept the house in great order. He had to do a little extra cleanup after one of the kitties had an accident. I would absolutely have Andrew stay and care for our cats again.”
“Luke was our Christmas Miracle! Our puppy tore his ACL last minute before our family trip and if Luke hadn’t been willing to house sit and take care of our puppy we would not have been able to see our family this year. He followed our vets strict med schedule and crate rest. Found ways to still give Vinny some cuddle time and manage our other dog to not rile him up. Patiently took him out on the leash to do his business while Vinny was loopy and hobbling even in the rain, dark and cold. He sent pics and updates multiple times a day because he knew I was a nervous mama leaving my sick puppy with a new human. And he left our house clean and tidy. Just could not recommend him more. Amazing!”
“I seriously cannot say enough good things about Megan! I was SO nervous about leaving my dogs, especially because they’re big girls and I’m very particular about who I trust with them. Megan completely eased my mind. She sent me pictures and updates EVERY single day, and seeing my girls happy and comfortable made such a huge difference. I was able to actually enjoy my trip knowing they were safe and being cared for by someone who genuinely cared about them. Megan was patient, dependable, and amazing with my girls. Coming home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs confirmed that I made the right choice. I will absolutely be using her again. If you’re nervous about trusting someone with your dogs, Megan is the person you want! 🐾❤️”
About: My household has had dogs for the past 12 years. I have watched dogs for other families while they are away several times over the past 10 years. I work very well with energetic and stubborn breeds. Frequents walks. Almost always home. I am a stay at home mom of older children. I am almost always home, and will ensure a fun and yet peaceful environment. Thank you for your consideration. I do have a fenced in yard that is smaller, and live very close to a dog park if desired. I can seperate our dog on a lower level if there is ever any issues, or space is need.
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I used to love looking at animals and playing with them in the store. I wanted to own every pet I am open availability and local! I'm willing to drive a bit but that depends on weather! Easily able to do last minute if you need! Excited to care for your pets! I can easily crate if needed and feed/bathroom breaks/play time for as long or as short as needed. I am readily available to take care of your fur baby as if they're my own!
“Kay was awesome with our boys Alan and Jaxson! She sent pictures to us daily and gave updates on how they were doing. Dogs really liked her. She left the house as if we never left. Thank you so much. Most definitely will be using Kay for our future Rover inquiries.”
“Jenna was amazing with our boys. Very communicative and caring. She went above and beyond with the care of our fur babies and took great care of our home while sitting for our 2 dogs. Would HIGHLY recommend!”
About: Pet uncle of three chihuahuas but love dogs of all sizes, and cats as well I have cared for pets of family and friends for many years. Love to spend time with animals. I currently work on a part time basis, so my schedule is pretty open, I can be available both during the week and on weekends. Safety and trust are always my number one priority. I welcome the opportunity for a meet and greet to understand all of you and ypur pets needs.
About: A Lifetime of Loving Animals 🐾 Animals have always been a big part of my life. Growing up, I had lots of dogs of my own, so I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with them. For 7 years, I also worked on a farm caring for a variety of animals. That experience taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize that every animal has their own personality, needs, and comfort level. I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of my own family—with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐶❤️ Evenings & Weekends Filled With Pets 🐾 I currently work full-time as an Assistant Manager, so I’m looking to spend my evenings and weekends doing something I truly love—caring for animals! My work schedule gives me the flexibility to dedicate my free time to providing pets with the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. After growing up with dogs and spending 7 years working on a farm with a variety of animals, caring for pets has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I’d love the opportunity to make your pet’s day a little happier while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, responsible hands. 🐶❤️ Caring for Pets in Their Happy Place 🐾 I currently work full-time as an Assistant Manager, and I’m looking to fill my evenings and weekends doing what I truly love—caring for animals! I’ll be providing care in your home, which means your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings and stick to their normal routines while you’re away. My evenings and weekends allow me to dedicate quality time to walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and whatever else your pet needs. Having grown up with dogs and spent 7 years working on a farm with a variety of animals, I’m comfortable caring for animals with different personalities and needs. My goal is to give your pets the same love and attention I would give my own while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. 🐶❤️
“Amanda is great with my kiddos. Given we have a highly reactive dog, Amanda has made great strides with developing a closer connection and has been rewarded with Shelby loves. Highly recommend Amanda and will book again with her.”
“Andie did an amazing job taking care of our pup and making sure he didn't get lonely while we were traveling. She gave him lots of love and play time. We will definitely book with her again. We highly highly recommend her for pet and house sitting. A+++”
“Olivia did such an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were out of town! She went above and beyond to make sure Blackjack got his medicine despite his best efforts to avoid it, and she even shoveled our stairs when a snowstorm hit. We would definitely choose her to cat sit for us again and would highly recommend her!”
“Drew was absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our three dogs while we were on vacation. From the moment we connected, he was professional, kind, and incredibly attentive. He made sure our dogs were taken out regularly, kept them on their routine, and truly treated them like his own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Drew stayed overnight each night, which meant the dogs were comfortable and our home was well cared for too. On top of that, he kept the house in excellent condition, honestly, we came back to everything just as we left it (if not better!). He was also very responsive and kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated while we were away. It’s clear Drew genuinely cares about animals and goes above and beyond for the families he works with. We’re so grateful for the care he provided and would absolutely trust him again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for someone reliable, respectful, and truly great with pets, I highly recommend booking Drew, you won’t regret it!”
“Jonna did great job caring for our pups and our home! It was great knowing that our puppies were safe and comfortable at home while we were away and will definitely reach out to her again next time!”
About: I have taken care of friends dogs for several years now and have enjoyed it immensely! I've cared for 1-4 dogs at a time, and have had a great time with them. Right now, I've cared for mainly small to medium dogs, but I'm open to bigger dogs too. In addition to dogs, I have many years of experience with cats, fish, chickens, butterflies, and even turtles. I'm always open to variety and love caring for any animal! I am currently a student pilot with a good amount of flexibility in my schedule. I mainly fly in the mornings for a couple hours at a time. I also do babysitting and tutoring on the side but can also work around those. I can be available for overnight stays most nights and I can do a quick drop ins when needed! I am not currently working, mainly picking up smaller side jobs and studying away, so my schedule is very flexible! I do not offer boarding at my own house, but I am completely open to overnights at client's houses when needed. I have stayed at friends and families houses multiple times and my goal is always to leave making sure things look better than when I got there.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Walcott is $45

Kaylee spent several days with Kobe, my goldendoodle, and he loved every minute of it! Kaylee sent multiple photos and updates throughout the days she spent with Kobe, kept him on his routine, and spent time to get to know Kobe and his quirks. She even suggested some enrichment toys for Kobe, to keep him occupied and reduce his anxiety, which we will continue to use and explore. Kobe is high energy, and this didn't phase Kaylee at all, she was very patient; she even worked on some training with Kobe throughout the week. I will definitely be booking with Kaylee again! Thank you!

FAQs for House Sitting - Walcott
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 166 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Walcott. 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 Walcott 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 Walcott 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 Walcott 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Walcott. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
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.
