“Rachael is absolutely amazing! She stayed at our home for the week and took such great care of our dogs. They got plenty of walks, and her thoughtful updates (with pictures and videos!) really helped put us at ease while we were away. She clearly knows a lot about dog behavior and handled our big pups so well, even though they can be a handful .. at times 😝 We came home to happy dogs and a spotless house, it was perfect!! I’m so grateful we found her and can confidently say she’s our go to dog sitter from now on. Thank you so much, Rachael :)”
“Amanda did a great job caring for my two old ladies and taking care of my home. I felt very comfortable having her in my home. She kept in touch while I was away, kept my plants alive, left my house clean, and my girls were happy!”
“Alex was amazing- I had a very last minute overnight work event come up, and had to figure out someone to take care of my 8 month old puppy with less than a full day's notice. My pup has some anxiety and nerves (like puppy like parent?) and I was so worried to leave him, but Alex was phenomenal. He was responsive to texts, kept me updated, and when I got home, my pup was so happy I absolutely knew Alex had done an amazing job making him feel comfortable and secure. Will 💯 use Alex again, and would recommend him to anyone.”
“April was fantastic! We appreciated her attention to our overly detailed instructions, her prompt responses, lots of photos and Belle updates! She respected our home and most importantly gave Belle a ton of love, attention, and long walks!”
“We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Efraim. This was our first time using Rover, and we were trying to find someone who could confidently care for both our indoor cat and our dog, who has significant anxiety and some recent behavioral challenges. In the past we’ve had to board our dog and hire a separate sitter for our cat, which was complicated and expensive. From the beginning, Efraim was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and flexible. After noticing that he also works as a dog walker and is pursuing dog training, we reached out to see if he would be open to meeting our dog. He happily arranged a meet-and-greet and then spent time walking our dog in the weeks before our trip so they could build trust and familiarity. That effort alone gave us enormous peace of mind before leaving. While we were away, Efraim took amazing care of everything. He walked our dog daily, brushed our (very fluffy!) cat, kept the litter box clean, and made sure both animals were comfortable and well cared for. He also maintained our large yard with multiple hummingbird feeders and bird fountains, keeping everything clean and filled. We received daily updates with photos and videos, and he was always communicative about how things were going. When we returned home, the house was immaculate — he had even stripped the bedding and run the laundry. Efraim is responsible, kind, and incredibly conscientious. We felt completely comfortable having him in our home and caring for our animals, and it made our vacation so much more relaxing knowing everything was in such good hands. We would absolutely hire him again and recommend him without hesitation.”
“Another 5/5 house and dog sitting experience with Elaine. We appreciate her daily updates with pictures and videos. We always come home to such a happy girl and clean home. :)”

I am responsible and caring and happy to care for your pet in the way you'd prefer.
“This was our second time having Isaiah housesit for us. He was very attentive to our dog, leopard gecko, and hermit crab, and I trust him to take good care of our pets and our house while we're gone.”
“Tracy was great with our dog and was so easy to communicate with. We had a last minute mishap with a holiday gathering and Tracy was able to help us out last minute. We will definitely work with her again!”

“Contacted Susan on a short notice request. She responded quickly and was very easy to schedule with. She was punctual and keep us updated throughout the day which we appreciated. Our dogs took an instance liking to her. I highly recommend her!”
“Monica was nothing short of amazing with our two girls! They bonded with her quickly (no small task for these two GSD/Belgian girls) and had a great time with her. She sent plenty of photos and kept my girls busy. She is kind, communicative, timely, neat, and clearly an animal lover. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I would not hesitate to book Monica again in the future! Leaving your fur babies can be very stressful but Monica made it easy and comfortable. THANK YOU, Monica!”

“Jovelle was fantastic! This was our first time personally hiring anyone who wasn’t friends or family to watch our dogs (who are both a lot to handle). We were nervous going into this process however Jovelle’s communication was so fantastic prior to during and post dog sitting weekend. It made us feel so much more at easy to see via text on a daily basis how are pups were doing. Our dogs do not get along with people quickly and they warmed up so fast it was awesome to see! We will definitely be booking with her in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waldon
Monica is absolutely wonderful. She took care of our dog and house while we were away last week, and we came back to a perfect house and a happy dog. Monica takes very special care of our 16 year old dog. She spends lots of time with her, cuddles with her, takes her along on errands and outings, plays with her and showers her with love and attention. Additionally, She checks in often, asks questions when needed and sends lots of pictures. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.
Courtney took such wonderful care of our dog, Chase, and on a last minute basis, too! We were able to relax during a trip knowing he was in good hands and she had a close eye on him. He had recently injured his leg and required some medicine and a close eye to avoid too much activity — we were thrilled to come home and see him in good spirits and moving comfortably. The house was also cared for and left in immaculate shape. We’re grateful for her attention to detail, care for our guy, and her ability to step in to help us at the eleventh hour. We would love to work with her again in the future.
Leaving our sweet pup, Winnie, is always hard, but finding someone you truly trust to care for them (and your home!) is such a gift. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Serafina! She took the time to meet Winnie ahead of our trip and genuinely cared about getting to know her routine and what would make her (and us!) feel most comfortable. Throughout the weekend, she sent us the most thoughtful updates and photos, which gave us an immense peace of mind knowing Winnie was in such wonderful hands. We feel so lucky to have found Serafina and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pup!!

The average cost of House Sitting in Waldon is $66 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $111 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.

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 Waldon 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 Waldon 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 Waldon 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 Waldon. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
