“Lisa was able to accommodate us on very short notice and took wonderful care of our pups. We could tell during the meet and greet that she truly loves dogs. She was able to be patient and gentle with Harmony who is nervous about getting her harness on. They were totally calm when we returned, we would recommended Lisa and use her services again!”

“Hannah is simply fantastic!!! I can't think of a sitter, family or friend who, upon meeting our 3 dogs, has a more natural and instant connection with our pups. And whether she sits for a short period of time or longer period, she sends photos frequently, and communicates effectively. We've always trusted her, and we love how the pups are calm and simply chillin' when we get home. As always, well done Hannah!”

“Raven is great. I appreciated that she made a special trip to our house to meet our pup before the scheduled "sitter" day. She asked questions and made sure she understood the routine we follow. Raven is respectful of our house and property. She took our pup on several walks and made sure he had his play time in the house and then cleaned up all the toys. We will definitely use Raven again.”

“Absolutely wonderful experience with Caitlin! She went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be happier! Her communication was fantastic. She was professional, thoughtful and a great house sitter overall. Most importantly, all of our dogs and cats were happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Caitlin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!”

About: I’ve been around animals all my life! I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, cows, goats, chickens, etc. I’ve pet sat for many of my friends and have references that can vouch for the care and effort I put into caring for their pets. I’m currently in university but I have an open schedule for drop ins, walking, and house sitting! I’m very flexible when it comes to scheduling so don’t hesitate to reach out! I’m able to adapt to most dogs energy especially within their own home. I believe dogs deserve to feel comfortable and safe within their homes and I do everything I can to accomplish that.

About: Hi, nice to meet you! As a fellow pet parent to a 7 year old German Shepherd mix and an 11 year old cat, I know how much peace of mind it brings to find someone you can truly trust. With over 10 years of pet-sitting experience, my goal is to become your pet’s (second) best friend and make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away! I care for pets of every shape, size, and life stage! Whether you have an energetic puppy or kitten, a sweet senior who needs gentle care, or a three-legged companion with unique needs, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I also have a soft spot for pets who are anxious, timid, or reactive and need a little extra patience. I’m comfortable following detailed routines, administering medications, and giving every pet the time, space, and attention they deserve. My dog occasionally joins me on sits when everyone is comfortable around other dogs, but she absolutely doesn’t have to come along! I always have care arranged for her at home, so I can accommodate whatever setup works best for your pets. Want to check out my reviews? ⭐ This Rover profile is new because I’m expanding my services across multiple regions in Oregon, but I’m happy to share my primary Rover profile so you can read my 5 star reviews and feedback from previous clients! I’d love to meet you and your furry family members and become someone you can count on whenever you need an extra hand ❤️ I’m currently taking a step back from full-time teaching to focus on substitute teaching, tutoring, and pet sitting! This gives me a more flexible schedule, allowing me to plan ahead and make sure your pets get all the attention, love, and consistency they deserve. Whether you have an energetic dog who loves long walks or hikes, a senior pet who needs medication, or a cozy cat who just wants some company, I’ll treat your pets like mine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to be more than just a sitter. I want to be a reliable sitter you can count on, and be your pet’s second best friend! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet and follow your instructions carefully, from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and their usual routines. I’m especially comfortable caring for anxious, timid, or reactive pets and understand the importance of patience, reassurance, and giving them space when they need it. Whether I’m caring for your pets in your home or mine, I want them to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, so you can relax knowing your furry family members are in good hands!

About: I've cared for senior dogs as well as puppies. All are personal animals, but, I believe that's an advantage. Being familiar with animals on a personal level has made me more empathetic and gained the ability to really connect with animal's. Wonderfully! I can care for a pet multiple times a week. My current schedule is flexible and I’m happy to work with you on hours! I would prefer to care for animals in their own environment. I understand some pets feel more secure in a familiar environment. I want to provide the most enjoyable experience for the owner as well as the pet.

About: I love all critters and have an especially soft place in my heart for the elderly and/or disabled. I started by volunteering for neighbors friends on trips or working 12 hours shifts, just to stay busy, and it was awesome to see how my daily visits helped their overall health over time. Visiting with critters is always the highlight of my day. I move slowly, carefully, speak softly, so my energy is a great fit for older or anxious animals. I love them all, and every step. Greeting, walking, playing, chilling, pets and massage, special diets, and I have no problem helping administer medicine or any extra special care that is needed. It would be an honor to be of service for you and your fur baby :) I am flexible and available, single, no kids, and also a home care worker. I only work 4 hour shifts, so pet care can very easily fit in and around my other work schedule. When I meet you and your pet, you can show me the care routine, and I will confirm that I understand every step. What works well is if the supplies are visible and steps are also written down and left somewhere I can refer to if needed. I will take photos to either text or email you while I am at your home with an update for each visit.

About: Hi! I’m Jenna, and I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for around 10 years! Between looking after family pets, pet sitting for friends, and spending a summer interning and volunteering at a veterinary clinic, I’ve gained plenty of hands-on experience with animals of different personalities, routines, and needs. My experience includes overnight house sitting, dog walking, feeding, playtime, and caring for pets who require medication. During my time at the veterinary clinic, I also had the opportunity to assist with day-to-day tasks and gain valuable experience in an animal care environment. I know that pets are family, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with their care. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and independent, or needs a little extra attention, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. My goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away, while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry family members! I’m a recent University of Oregon graduate and am currently back in my hometown for a little while, so I’m excited to spend some of my extra time doing something I love—caring for animals! My schedule is very flexible right now, and I have plenty of availability throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and overnight stays. I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and routines, whether your pet needs daily walks, drop-in visits, or someone to keep them company while you’re away. With my current flexibility, I’m able to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and care. I currently have several pets in my own home, so I don’t offer pet sitting or boarding at my house. However, I’m more than happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can feel safe, relaxed, and surrounded by familiar things! I understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s normal routine, especially while their owners are away. I always make sure to carefully follow any instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and household rules. I’m also mindful of keeping doors and gates secure, maintaining a clean environment, and paying attention to each pet’s behavior and individual needs. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy and comfortable.

About: I provide reliable, structured, and genuinely attentive care — not just “watching” your dog, but actively engaging with them to keep them happy, calm, and fulfilled while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including large breeds and high-energy pups, and I tailor care based on each dog’s personality and needs. Whether that means long walks, structured play, mental stimulation, or just a calm presence for anxious dogs, I adjust to what helps them feel safest. I have experience reinforcing basic training (sit, stay, and cool tricks), and maintaining routines. I’m especially patient with puppies who are still learning and senior dogs who may need a slower pace and extra attention. What sets me apart is communication and consistency — you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and honest check-ins so you always know how your dog is doing. If you want picture or messaged every 5 minutes I can do that! I treat every dog like they’re my own, with safety, structure, and affection as my top priorities. I work remotely so I can work from anywhere, anytime. My job is also very flexible so I can always give your pet the attention they need at any time. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I keep a clean, organized, and pet-safe environment free of hazards, and I closely supervise all pets. I never leave dogs unattended in situations that could put them at risk, and I follow each owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, medications, crate use, and routines. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and maintain your dog’s normal routine to reduce stress. I ensure doors and gates are securely closed, use leashes on walks at all times, and remain alert to surroundings for safety. Communication is key — I provide regular updates and photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind and give your pet a safe, positive experience every time.

Hannah is my cat's newest best friend! She looked after our very needy 13 year old cat, turtle, and fish/aquarium. Each day I had contact with all of them... Hannah did an amazing job to make me feel totally at ease about leaving them. AND when I returned, I swear - they all seemed better than I'd left them. Her attention to care for them and communication with us, not to mention being willing to stay and look after everything - water plants/etc. We came home feeling totally refreshed, house was warm and clean, and so grateful to have had Hannah's help! My cat is honestly conspiring to get her back 😆

Hannah took amazing care of our fur-babies while we were in Cancun. From the start, she was thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely caring. She sent frequent updates that gave us so much peace of mind and it was clear she was really paying attention to each of their needs. What stood out most was how patient and respectful she was with them. She gave them the time and space they needed to adjust rather than pushing them into situations that made them uncomfortable. That level of understanding and empathy means everything when you are trusting someone with your pets. We came home to happy, relaxed animals and a well cared for home. We would absolutely trust Hannah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly treats your pets like her own.

FAQs for House Sitting - Walden

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Walden is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $55 and $67 per night. 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.

As of October 2026, there are 616 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Walden. 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 Walden 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 Walden 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 Walden 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Walden. On Rover:

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.
