“I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional care Julia provided to my dogs during our recent trip. We're incredibly grateful for Julia's outstanding care of our dogs. Her genuine affection and diligent attention to their needs were evident in how happy and content our pups were throughout our absence. Knowing they were so well-loved and looked after gave us complete peace of mind, allowing us to truly enjoy our time away. We wholeheartedly recommend Julia for her exceptional service.”
“Tara saved the day again! Our schedules seem to change every trip and Tara worked with us to make sure Rory was cared for (even braving the annual St Patrick’s Day parade that closes part of our street). Rory loves her and we were thrilled she could check on him again when we were away!”
“WOW! I cannot give Angelique a higher recommendation! She accepted our dog watching request last minute after our original dog sitter backed out on us... just days before our wedding! She was so kind, communicative and knowledgeable about animal health with former veterinary schooling and training. It made us feel so comfortable and confident with her! She even came over to meet our girls on short notice and was not deterred by our very sweet but vocal German Shepard who others did not feel comfortable with solely because of her breed. She was always on time, sent pictures every visit and wasn't afraid to reach out when she noticed a potential health concern with one of our girls. Let's also add that giving someone you barely know access to your home when you are not there can be nerve-wracking but we fully trust Angelique. Thank you Angelique for literally making sure we could be fully present at our wedding! We would definitely use you in the future and will recommend you to our friends!”
“We have two cats and went on vacay for a few days . Megen was there for 5 visits . On time twice a day and we came home to two very happy cats . I would give her a 5 star rating and would recommend to everyone . Thanks”
About: I have a very special connection with all animals and will love and care for your pet as if it were my own! I have a lifetime of experience with cats and a few years of experience with dogs, namely raising and training my own dog from ~2 months old. He’s the sweetest, happiest pup and he is very loved! I work from home and have plenty of time to spend with your pet, whether that’s walking them, playing with them or bringing them to appointments!! I don’t have a fenced in yard but have plenty of space to walk and play with your dog outside (or inside!). I can crate the dog if necessary, and my puppy is extremely friendly and welcoming with new dogs!
“I was very happy with my overall experience with Rover. It was easy to set up and choose someone to care for my 2 cats when I was out of town. Nancy was great! She came when she said she would and gave me updates at each visit. When I came home, the house was so calm and peaceful. The cats were safe, fed and happy. I would definitely recommend Nancy and will use her again in the future. Thanks! :) Rose G.”
About: My name is Lauren and I live in Rock Tavern, NY with my fiancé John and our Golden Retrievers Crosby and Banks! I work from home in the medical field so I have very flexible hours to care for your fur baby. John works from home as well, so we can always be available for your fur baby. I've always loved animals and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and routine. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I'm committed to providing personalized care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm dependable, responsive, and believe in keeping pet parents updated with regular messages and photos so you always know how your furry family member is doing. I follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care instructions carefully, and I'm happy to accommodate each pet's individual needs. My goal is to make every visit a positive experience by treating your pets with the same patience, attention, and affection I'd want for my own. You can count on me to provide reliable, compassionate care and give your pets the love and attention they deserve. I work from home full time which gives me a very flexible schedule to care for your pet and give them the love and attention they deserve! We have a large fenced in yard - perfect for play time, fetch and running to their hearts content. They will never be left outside unsupervised as I keep a close watch on them.
“I cannot say enough good things about Ava as our dog walker. She walks my pitbull, Giovanni, and my Frenchie, Jerry, and is so gentle, patient, and calm with them, which means everything to me. Ava is incredibly reliable, always on time, and treats Giovanni and Jerry like her own. I love the updates I get after walks, and I always feel like they are safe and well cared for when they’re with her. Both dogs are happier, calmer, and get so excited every time Ava shows up. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your dogs—especially strong breeds—Ava is the best!”
“Kimberly took fantastic care of my cats! I have one shy cat that I thought would hide while she visited, but my kitty was out during each visit, and even played with her! I couldn't be happier, and have already re-booked her for another time while I'll be traveling. She's incredibly nice, and my cats were definitely well cared for!”
“Bryanna was a total lifesaver! We had to head into the city unexpectedly and needed a last-minute drop-in for our puppy. They were responsive, reliable, and took great care of her. Highly recommend!”
About: I have hands on experience providing attentive, compassionate care for pets with a variety of needs. I have administered insulin injections and other basic medications, and I always prioritize safety and gentle handling. Whether it’s feeding, walks, or drop-in visits, I make sure each pet receives reliable care, attention, and plenty of affection. I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they feel comfortable, secure, and loved. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet for a nice walk or drop in visit! In fact, it’s something I look forward to. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to build trust not just with your pet, but with you as well—so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.
About: Hi! My name is Sarahi, and I'm a gal who has always had a passion for loving and working with animals. I have 9 years of pet sitting experience, as I've been pet sitting since I was fourteen years old, and haven't stopped since. I love animals of any size or personality or quirk - they're all worthy of love and attention in my eyes! However, those who know me know that I have a soft spot for dogs :) Neighbors, friends and family members have all trusted me to feed, walk and care for their precious fur-babies. I have experience caring for doggos of all ages- from puppies to seniors. Depending on location, duration, and/or what you prefer, I can plan to stay with them overnight or just drop in to spend time during the day as needed. I'm all about doing what is most comfortable for your fur-baby! Gentle compassion and enthusiastic care are standards I always uphold. I value clear communication and honesty with pet parents. My attention to detail helps me ensure that every pet I care for gets the individualized attention they deserve. My goal is to make sure they feel loved and safe in their own homes while you are away. I love to take them on walks, help groom and bathe them, make sure they are fed, help with medication if necessary and of course - play and give them lots of love. I can also just lay around with them if that’s more their speed. Whatever their needs, I’m here to help while you’re away! :) I can offer plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. I currently work from home three days a week and have a very flexible schedule, making it super easy to bring my work to the home I sit for and attend to your pet's needs. I spend my days off participating in volunteer work mostly in the mornings, but I always ensure to be back in time to take care of them. I am unable to board at my house but am more than willing to drop in or stay at yours :)- whatever makes you and your pet feel most comfortable! In both cases, I make sure to follow pet parents’ instructions very carefully. I will ensure that all areas that we are playing or walking in are either fenced in or they are always leashed. When I’m away, they can be crated if needed and I will ensure they are let out before I leave. Pets in my care are always supervised. I make sure to regularly check on them when things seem too quiet, and am attentive to food, water, and potty needs. I provide a comfortable and familiar environment for your pet, sticking to their regular routines. I also give lots of attention and love to keep them feeling safe and happy. After years of house sitting, I am also used to existing respectfully in someone else’s space. I am tidy and always try to make your home as clean as it was when you left before I leave. I am a quiet neighbor and will ensure that all doors are locked/security systems are set when needed. I make sure to stay in constant communication with you, sending updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in great hands!
“I was nervous about leaving my rescue dog, Elle, when I went away, but as soon as I met Sarah I knew she was in good hands! Elle took to her right away, and Sarah checked in to let me know how things were going while I was away. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Hi there.. I have always owned a dog in my life. I have worked at an animal shelter for 2 1/2 years taking care of the dogs. I have been around most breeds and personality types. I am calm and patient around dogs and know how to read their body language. But I also love to be goofy and playful with them when the environment is right. I believe every dog is an individual and what might work for one dog won’t always work for another. I have some dog training under my belt from working with other trainers and taking classes but I’m not certified yet. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out! I am currently working part time at an animal shelter so I have plenty of time to dedicate to working with your pups! I currently only offer dog walking and stop ins but will eventually start boarding. I currently don’t offer boarding but I will eventually! At a client’s home I’ll make to gather all the details from the owner to ensure an easy transition for both them and their animals. The last thing I want is an owner to worry while they’re away! I’ll treat your animals like they’re my own.
“Kaitlyn was an awesome sitter for my cat for the 5 days I was away. She followed all of my instructions that I had and was great with the details and pics of her visits. I would 100% recommend her services. Thank you so much Kaitlyn for taking care of my fur baby! ?”
About: I have extensive experience with caring for dogs, cats, horses, and reptiles. I’m hoping to alleviate the stress of pet parents who need to get away, and want to know someone safe and reliable will be there to help! x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Walden on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,458 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Walden. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Walden stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Walden. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
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.
