“This was my first time using an app to find someone to watch my furbaby and Dana definitely made me feel comfortable and relieved. We lucked out finding her! She’s got a calm demeanor which matched perfectly for my old girl. She sent me an update midday with a couple pictures that eased my anxiety. She was willing to work with me on the schedule when things changed on my end. And like other reviewers said she even tidied up a bit, which was completely unexpected and very kind. The best part is my pup really seemed comfortable with her from the beginning. Definitely look forward to rebooking with her in the future!”
“Shelby is the best pet sitter we have ever had!!! Sadie was well loved and Shelby did such an awesome job with her. She kept us well updated & sent pictures. We’ll be using Shelby anytime we need a sitter.”
“I am so pleased with the entire experience. Charish is kind, punctual and professional. She communicates well with us during her time here. Best of all, our dogs loved her. They were very content when we got home.”
“Dominique was great! She responded quickly to my last minute request and took great care of my pup. This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with how it turned out.”
“We have only good things to say about Bonnie! She was super easy to communicate with and sent funny updates and photos while we were away. Jax was well taken care of as was our home. Would highly recommend her!”
About: I have been caring for animals of all kinds my whole life and enjoy each one I meet! I can accommodate any special needs your pet may have - a medical issue or anything else. Your animal will be treated like family here, but they must be friendly with children, cats, and other dogs or a crate is required. I have lots of experience caring for senior animals and am able to provide a calm and patient environment for them. I will always pay extra attention to ensure they’re eating, drinking, and pottying as normal and give regular updates. I will also make sure they’re still getting lots of love and enough stimulation without pushing their aging body too far. We have plenty of comfy spots for them to hang out while you’re away! I currently am home daily, so have plenty of flexibility to care for your animals and accommodate a routine they’re used to! They will get plenty of indoor and outdoor stimulation and exercise. I have plenty of toys and love spending time outside. We love to go on outings to the park and hikes as well and will make sure your furry friend is having a great time while you’re away! I have a kiddo under 5 as well as 2 of my own cats and dog, they all love other animals and get along with whoever. However, I am more than happy and able to accommodate any separation that may be needed. All animals that stay in my home get plenty of walks and play time, but also lots of cuddles! I separate all animals during meal times and always take dogs out on leashes. Please provide a crate if your dog is used to one. I am happy to provide services such as bathing and nail trims as well, please let me know any special requests you may have!
“Huntter did a wonderful job keeping my dogs and house safe and loved. He was able to spend the night and my dogs loved him. My house was spotless when I arrived home after 8 days away. Thank you Huntter!”
About: I have two senior dogs now, and have had dogs and cats my whole adult life. I have cared for friends’ pets when they travel and can provide references. I’m newly retired, and my availability for drop-in’s, walks, and overnight stays is very flexible. I’m newly retired and looking forward to new adventures with your fur-babies. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends. I am able to stay in your home overnight. I can come to your home for playtime, walks, and general care. I am also available for overnight stays in your home. I am comfortable providing medication and injections.
“Rachel has done a phenomenal job at taking care of my dog. She was very communicative and went above and beyond. My dog is quite anxious especially around new people, I could tell how comfortable she made him. I highly recommend booking with her!”
About: Whenever I get asked if I would choose cats or dogs I always say, it depends on the personality! I love all animals and getting to know their quirks and what makes them unique! Just like their personality I understand care specific to their needs are important. I’ve grown up taking care of various neighbors’ animals and loving the experience of taking animals on walks, feedings, baths, deep clean of their home, and just simply playing with them. I start graduate school in January but am pretty flexible at the moment! Sunday through Thursday at any time as long as messaged at least the day before! I have my own little kitty named Jasper! I follow directions to a T and just love on animals. - Walks - Feedings - Scratched and pets - Play time - Mental stimulation
About: I have been pet sitting for over 15 years and would love visit, walk, play, bathe, and stay overnight with your pets as needed. While I have a soft spot in my heart for cats, and foster kittens through HES, I've also worked as a dog grooming assistant in the past and know nuances to ALL dog breeds. My friends rely on me for their pet sitting needs and I'm looking to expand my furry friends! I am available most days. I can sit and work from your home or simply stop in and walk dogs. Just ask and I can probably accommodate! I'm a clean guest and respect other people's space. I also love to bake (at my own home) so I may leave some sweet treats for you before I leave!
About: I am an experienced animal owner and previous vet assistant. I have three dogs and two cats, and have experience with exotic and small/caged animals as well. I have worked with many types of special needs animals (aggressive, multiple medications, assisted walking, etc) so I am comfortable around ALL cat and dog types! I would love to just stop by or stay for extended visits. I am in the East Brainerd area but definitely willing to travel when needed. I run everyday with my dogs and could with yours too. Although, I would love to sit and watch some Netflix with your couch potato puppies too! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions about stays or arrangements- I have flexible hours and availability at this time and would love to hear from you! Pet care is my life! I love animals and am willing to work hard for your fur family so you can rest easy while you are away. I am willing to clean after myself and your animals while you are away, just leave details, also happy to take care of small chores, like putting the garbage out and getting the mail.
About: I’ve taken care of my brothers, friends, and family’s dogs periodically throughout the decades and have now personally had my own pup for going on 3 years. I make it a point to give each dog, whether it’s mine or someone’s else’s a fun and good life to live. A dormant unattended to dog bothers me to no end so your dog would be in not only great hands but hands that will actively pursue making your dad have the best day! I currently work weekends at the hospital so most of my week days are free and clear! I’m a natural night owl so being up late isn’t a problem either I live in a fenced/gated town home community with extremely friendly neighbors who all have dogs. We have a gated dog park for all the dogs to mingle and play as well as many parks and fields surrounding the home to where they can get exercise! Each dog will be directly cared for 1 on 1 with me in my townhome to ensure proper care
About: Animals have been a big part of my life since childhood. I have 5+ years of experience in pet care, dog training, and puppy socialization. I use positive reinforcement and a patient, individualized approach to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m experienced with walks, feeding, playtime, and pets of different ages and personalities. Currently, I have an extremely flexible schedule and work from home, so I can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I offer walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and overnight care, tailored to each pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I prioritize positive reinforcement, secure environments, and following your care instructions. I’ll treat your pet and home with patience and respect.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. On my 18th birthday, I got an English Bulldog, which taught me the importance of understanding breed-specific needs, health concerns, and proper care. Since then, I’ve spent countless hours researching dog behavior, nutrition, exercise requirements, and overall wellness. I have experience dog sitting and walking dogs of different sizes and personalities. Whether it’s an energetic dog that needs plenty of exercise or a senior dog that requires extra patience and attention, I take the time to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care and give pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. My schedule is very flexible this summer while I’m waiting for school to start back, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and follow the owner’s instructions closely. For boarding, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and regular feeding schedules. While I do not have a fenced yard, I live directly across from a park and make sure dogs get plenty of safe outdoor time and activity. Pets are welcome on the furniture and are treated like part of the family. For house sitting, I maintain the pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable while also respecting and caring for the owner’s home. During walks, I focus on safety, exercise, and making sure each dog gets the attention and activity they need. No matter the service, I treat every pet as if they were my own and make their well-being my top priority.
“This was our first time with Shamon and we will definitely book with her again. Arthur was well taken care of. She sent pictures to us throughout the whole stay. Everything was clean and looked the same as when we left. She was awesome!!”
About: Hello, we are Mark & Natalie! We are an engaged couple that has over 5 years of petsitting experience! Our adventurous nature has taken us on petsits not only across the country, but across the world! We have done over 30 petsits across the UK & Europe, as well as sits in Georgia, North Carolina, Colorado, California, Oregon and of course Tennessee! We pride ourselves in giving expert-level care modeled to each individual pet. Our past sits have praised us for our attention to detail, adherence to instruction, prompt communication and cleanliness! We both work either part-time or remote jobs, so it is very easy to make sure at least one of us is on the house most times. If we have ever planned to be gone for a few hours in previous sits, we would always make sure to leave treats and toys for the pets, according to the pet owners instructions. We have happily accommodated pets in the past and scheduled days around coming back for potty breaks and feeding times. If there is ever a time where we are both out, we always make sure to schedule out time accordingly. We have always taken great care of our clients homes. Our previous reviews have left glowing remarks about our cleanliness. WE strive to leave a petsit as we found it. If we have time, we make the bed we stayed in up, but at the very least we try to get sheets in the washer/dryer. We do a deep clean of kitchens on our way out, arrange the appliances and silverware as we found it and remove all of our stuff. We do the basic sweep, swiffer/mop, clean the bathroom, etc. We always respect the privacy of our client and we do not snoop around in any personal rooms or containers. If there is a need to look for things not easily available, we always ask first. We respect boundaries for appliances, dishes, electronics. If you do not wish for us to use something then we simply won't use it. We have watched over plants and gardens as well. While neither of us is a green-thumb, we follow instructions and routines for your plants to ensure that they stay healthy and alive. We are not party people. We have never used a clients space for a party or to invite guests over without previous discussion and permission granted. We do not drink and do not engage in the smoking of tobacco or recreational drugs.
“Kirstie did an excellent job taking care of our two male cats while we were away last week. During the meet and greet she took careful notes, asked questions to clarify certain points, and provided honest feedback. She came across as mature and trustworthy and proved that she was. During our time away, she provided daily updates and photos and let us know when one of our cats was gone longer than she thought he would be. All turned out well. I would definitely use Kirstie again!”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have always had a natural love for caring for them! 🐾 I have years of hands-on experience working with dogs, cats, farm animals and reptiles. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, caring, and passionate about making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. ❤️ Pet care has always been a part of my everyday life! I own a dog, two cats, a snake, bearded dragon, leopard gecko, and a betta fish, and that’s after I rehomed 5 animals lol. Caring for so many different animals has made taking care of pets a natural part of my daily routine. 🐾💕 I do not have a fenced-in backyard, so I wouldn’t have a private area to let your dog out, but we can always go somewhere public or use your yard if your home offers one. I also have a crate available if needed! I care for every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, fed, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention while sticking to their normal routines.

Sam stayed at my home for a week to care for my cat, Simon. They did an absolutely wonderful job! Very communicative with detailed messages and multiple photos and videos each day. Simon is a tough cat to win over (he’s afraid of everything), but within a day and a half Simon found a new best friend in Sam. This was such a huge relief to know he was happy and calm while I was away. Sam has a very chill/calm presence and I will absolutely use their services again!!
AMAZING!! with a diabetic cat and high energy dog, it can be hard to find someone i can trust to watch them. but Skylar knocked it out of the park! great communication, sent pics every day, and was graciously even able to pop in one extra time while i had an airport emergency. i came home to a tidy house and happy pets, couldn’t recommend more!
Jill was amazing with my 3 pets while I was out of the country for several days! I came home to a very secure, happy , well fed group who were all snuggled up happily with her. She went out of her way to make them all feel safe and comfortable, and totally set my mind at ease by sending regular updates. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sit.
Katie was a fantastic sitter. She stayed in our home for a week with our dogs. She gave thorough updates and it was easy to tell she was keeping the dogs very active and happy. Katie clearly had an aptitude for animal care. We are very happy we are lucky enough to have found her!
Maria was the BEST. We have had many dogsitters over the years, and she was the best sitter we have ever had. We were going out of the country and on very different timezones, so we were very hopeful she was going to be really communicative. She knocked our expectations out of the park. She sent so many pictures (and as an aside should be a professional pet photographer - the photos were fantastic!), frequent updates, walked our boy a LOT (he thrives on exercise, so we really appreciated this more than we can say), and even took him to her own home during a tornado warning, so he was not here alone. We could not have asked for better care and communication. As an added bonus, Maria kept our house in lovely shape - everything was clean and organized when we returned. She even washed, dried, and remade the bed so that we had clean sheets when we arrived late at night, all without ever being asked!! I cannot recommend Maria enough!! She is so kind, caring, compassionate and overall lovely. We feel SO lucky she was able to sit for us. You will adore her and so will your pets!!
We were in need of a last minute house/pet sitter for graduation weekend. Drake was quick to respond with his availability. He even met us beforehand to ensure he was the right fit for our animals. Spoiler - he absolutely was! If you're looking for someone highly professional, calm, and patient with your animals - then hire Drake. He sent regular updates and gave our animals so much love in our absence. Thank you Drake!
Hunter was absolutely amazing! He took great care of our two spoiled dogs and house while we were away. Our house was spotless and our pups were happy upon our return. He sent pictures and updates of our boys and was very respectful of our home. I would definitely recommend and use Huntter again in the future!
Pamela did a wonderful job taking care of our pets overnight for several days (15 year old dog, 2 year old dog, and 3 year old cat)!! We needed someone last minute over Thanksgiving and she quickly responded after our request. We scheduled a meet and greet and we knew they were in good hands. She provided pictures daily and the house looks great. We’ll definitely use Pamela again. Thanks so much for taking care of our fur babies!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Walden is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $44 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 480 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.
