“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!”
About: Hi, I’m Tessa - I run T’s One Acre Bark & Breakfast! 🐾 With one acre to play on and a cozy home to relax in, I give every pet safe, loving care. I’m Pet First Aid & CPR certified, have completed a course in Veterinary Assistant training, and am trained/certified in Fear Free™ - Leaders in Animal Wellbeing. While studying Fear Free, I have learned valuable information regarding dog body language, stress signals, and how to create a calm, positive environment for each pet. This means I use gentle handling, reward-based interactions, and stress-reducing techniques to make sure your furry family member feels comfortable and cared for at all times. My goal is to provide not just a safe place, but one where pets truly enjoy their stay, whether they’re here to play, rest, or cuddle up for some quiet time. We love visitors of all walks of life; seniors, puppies, and everything in between. We’ll treat your pet like one of our own and keep you updated every step of the way ❤️ In addition to boarding and daycare, I also offer drop-in visits; perfect for pets who feel most comfortable at home. Whether it’s potty breaks, mealtime, playtime, or a little extra love while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pet’s routine stays on track and they get the attention they deserve. Beyond errands needing to get done or going to town for appointments, I am always home. My husband assists in care when he is home as well. We have a lovely dog of our own - so they are always in our schedule with potty breaks, play, eating times and everything in between! Our acre is fenced and ready for exploring, relaxing, and playtime! We also have three children that are eager to shower your family member with an abundance of love and attention.
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.
“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!”
“Sydney took great care of our high anxiety pup for us on very short notice. She is personable and her love of dogs shows. We will use her services again for any future trips, where we just can’t take our high spirited crazy man with us.”
About: My family has had pets my whole life, I owned my own horse until I was 16. I've cared for a multitude of dogs, cats, animals, really all of my life. I work remote and can be around to care for your pets in a full time, hands on capacity. I have house sat, pet sat for friends and acquaintances over the years. I miss animals and enjoy visiting my parents 3 dogs when I visit them, which inspired me to help others that need someone to care for their home or pets. I have been a remote worker for the last 8 years and traveled as a nomad for 7 of those years, I'm highly flexible on what environment I live/work and exist in. I am currently residing in Eugene, OR and want to house/pet sit, as I have no pets of my own currently and miss spending time with amazing animals. I'm a very attentive pet person, always staying outside with my dads dogs, to play, hang out and spend time with them. My family has owned a variety of large and small dog breeds, & cats. I have cat sat in the past and enjoy playing with cats and chilling with them. I'm a very clean, neat person, keeping a space tidy, helping my dad by giving a bath to his Jack Russell Terrier whenever I visit, as his dog has always loved and trusted me. I enjoy time with pets, and don't crowd them letting them feel comfortable.
About: Hello fellow animal lovers! My name is Shealea and I have over two years combined experience working with dogs. I was a handler as well as a team leader at one of Eugene's premier dog boarding facilities where I gained a plethora of knowledge and experience in all things canine related! My approach is to treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. "Dog's are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole." I am a SAHM so I have a flexible schedule to meet your pet care needs! Please message me if you have any pet care needs outside of my scheduled availability. :) I treat each pet in my care as if they were part of my own family. I am attentive, knowledgeable and understand the importance having a solid line of communication with pet parents.
“This was my first time using a pet sitter from a service and Michell made me feel very comfortable with the excellent care she gave my dog. She communicated well and gave my dog lots of attention. I will definitely be hiring her again in the future.”
About: “What sets me apart is that I don’t just ‘watch’ pets—I pay attention to them. I notice their moods, their routines, and what makes them feel safe. I know how important consistency and trust are, so I show up on time, follow instructions closely, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I also understand how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone, so I make sure you feel comfortable too, with updates and clear communication.” “Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they get consistent attention, walks, feeding, and companionship. I’m organized and reliable, so I don’t overbook and can give each pet the time and care they deserve.” I live in an apartment with no yard, but I’ve always made daily walks and neighborhood outings a priority. I previously cared for my dog for 16 years in a similar setup, so I’m used to providing consistent exercise, attention, and structured routines outside of having a yard.”
About: I’ve had animals of all kinds in my family since I was born. I’ve taken care of animals and helped watch and care for loved ones pets over the years. I’m currently a SAHM and looking for extra ways of generating income while doing things I love and things that are fulfilling! Very flexible and eager to help. Ready to help where is needed. I have many good references. I am trustworthy, kind, careful, communicative, and an all around animal lover! I can’t wait to meet yours.
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.
“Cats got plenty of attention and companionship as far as we could tell. Good communication and photos sent to us during her stay. We were a disappointed to find both water bowls were almost empty, one had dead flies in it, and the litter box had not been scooped for what looked like a number of days when we got home. These were things we had asked her to do daily.”
About: I have always had a dog in my life and have raised both puppies and senior dogs. I also have extensive experience pet sitting for neighbors and family friends. I am available pretty much every day during the week and I have a very flexible schedule. Pet care is apart of my everyday routine and I’d be more than happy to help others. In my client's homes I tend to hang out with the pet all day to keep them company and provide their needs. I don't leave them unattended and don't expect to put them in a kennel unless advised to do so.
About: I am passionate about our animal friends and hope to add more pets to my daily life! I especially love pup time and am always excited to meet more friends. I’d love to help you and your family by offering quality, caring service to your pets. (: Currently I am offering sitting and drop-in visits seperately but due to health needs I am most able to provide exercise, energy expenditure and mental and physical enrichment either from your home or via outings. I do have a service dog that accompanies me most places and he loves making new friends, which can be a great option if yours also enjoy regular playdates. He is good with kids, cats and other dogs, if you have any questions feel free to ask! I am always open to making other arrangements based on your needs and prioritize finding accessible solutions and making accommodations to ensure your pets are able to recieve quality care. (: I am available in the morning through evening as well as overnight! I’d love to work around your schedule and to help make things as accessible as possible! Currently I am not offering boarding or daycare in my home. I am in a shared living space and unfortunately don’t have enough room for more furry friends at this time.
“Heather did an amazing job. My dog & cat where well looked after while I was gone for 9 days. Heather kept in touch with me, sent me pictures of my dog & cat texted me on how they are doing. I am very happy with Heather. I have no problems with using her again in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Walden
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.

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

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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Walden. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
