“Rachael rearranged her plans at the last minute to spend the weekend with Izzy and Thor, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for and happy!!”
“Courtney took such great care of our senior dogs. One of our dogs is blind with a fragile spine (herniated disc) and ear infections. She followed our instructions diligently. I received photos and prompt communication. We already rebooked Courtney for two other times, this time for a longer duration. Thanks Courtney!!”
“Matt was excellent! Our dog can be a bit intimidating and not always the warmest - but him and Matt became buds instantly!! We were able to enjoy our vacation with no issues or concerns. He was very easy to reach and provided updates regularly. We came back to a very happy pup!! Thanks Matt for everything! We hope you will watch koa in the future.”
“This is the second time Brooke watched my girls for me, she’s great! Olive was diagnosed with an ear infection just a couple of days before I left town and Brooke did a fantastic job making sure she got her ear drops every day. Also, she sends me the best puppy pictures🩷”
“Jessica was great with our senior English bulldog. She sent tons of pictures and kept me updated while we were away. I'm *that* dog owner that obsessed over my pooch and I felt like she was in good hands the whole time. I would not hesitate to book with her again.”
“Virginia was terrific. Lucy has to warm up to people. She warmed up to Virginia quickly. I will not hesitate having Virginia stay with Lucy in the future. My home was clean and picked up beautifully and Lucy was very happy too! Great experience!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kinds ever since I was ten years old. Customers have relied on me to care for their pups; walking, feeding, cuddling, etc. etc. I'm currently a student at Diablo Valley College and play on their football team. I have free time during the day and on the weekends to care for your pets. I have a client with four small pups that I watch, feed, crate, walk. I am responsible and caring and happy to care for your pet in the way you'd prefer.
“Absolutely stellar care! Myra provided such living and attentive care to our somewhat troublesome cur, who took to her like butter on warm bread. Myra kept us up to date with beautiful photographs and humorous commentary. She’s a delight and we look forward to our next engagement already!”
“Natascha took very good care of our little dog. She asked before we left if we wanted pictures and if so how often. She was very good about sending pics and updates throughout our trip. Als, she left our house in wonderful condition.”
“Rocky absolutely loved hanging out with Carrie. He got to meet Carrie's dog too! He had a great time. Carrie was absolutely wonderful for the entire time. She took great care of Rocky. She even went the extra long mile of cleaning our living area before we got home so we had less to do after our trip! Thanks Carrie!!”
“Luna is a total pro! My dog loved her and she gave me regular updates. She kept my place in great order and was a dream houseguest. You can trust Luna to take good care of your fur baby. I’ll definitely book her again.”
“Tracy watched our two dogs over a weekend and she did great. We got a lot of pictures and she was very responsive to questions and answered our texts in a timely manner. We will definitely use her again.”
“Indie is amazing! She was so great with our dog. So glad to have met her. She was communicative and sent pictures throughout the day and took super good care of him. We will be reaching out to her again!”
“Colleen was amazing and I will definitely be booking with her again! Colleen came to our home for a full week and took wonderful care of our two dogs and our home. Our dogs each had two walks a day and were fed and given their supplements twice per day as well. Colleen sent updates and photos each day, which was so appreciated! She also did things like water plants, take in the mail, etc.”
“Our dog and cat both loved Aleksandra so much! You could tell they felt very comfortable with her, and when she came to return our key after our trip, they both ran to the door and were so excited to see her. It really showed how much they enjoyed having her care for them while we were away. Aleksandra kept us updated every day with photos and messages, took care of cleaning up when our dog had some accidents while we were away, and left the house clean and tidy for us when we returned. She also helped us out with an extra visit when our flights home were significantly delayed so our pets didn’t have to wait for us to get home to be fed and let out. We really appreciated how sweet and caring she was with both of them and are very thankful for all of her help while we were away!”
About: Since the time I was born, my family has always had a dog. After moving from Vancouver, Canada to Northern California I’ve recently gotten 2 of my own furry friend!s Neighbours in our area all love our 3 year old Golden Retriever, Buddy and his brother, Rufus Du Sol. They get along with everyone and I have a such a zest for life and love for animals that joining Rover and taking care of other pets is the cherry on top! Buddy is a very gentle, fun sweet boy who will spends his days accompanying me on every adventure. I’m currently between jobs, which leaves me with an open schedule to entertain and watch your pup! My dog, Buddy is the best adventure pup and we’d love to have yours tag along. We currently have a large enclosed patio in a new complex. We are steps away from our complex fenced in dog park! Your pup can enjoy walking locally, playing at our dog park, exploring the Walnut Creek hills OR walks through your neighbourhood.
About: With over five years of dog sitting experience, I provide dependable, active, and attentive care tailored to each dog’s personality and energy level. I prioritize long walks, structured routines, and meaningful playtime to keep dogs mentally stimulated and physically engaged. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your dog feels secure, happy, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I offer weekend boarding and walks in a relaxed, active environment where your dog can feel at home. We’ll get outside for fresh air and movement, enjoy playtime throughout the day, and keep things easygoing and comfortable.

I have plenty of outdoor space for safe play, fresh air, and lots of room to explore. We’ll spend time outside getting energy out, going on walks, and enjoying playtime, balanced with indoor relaxation and cuddles.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waldon
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!!
Vicki was so kind and wonderful with Manchitas. She took such great care of her, and most importantly, she followed her schedule perfectly. Thank you so much, Vicki, for doing such an excellent job! We truly appreciate it and would definitely hire you again. 💕🐾
Brenna was great! The pups seemed right at home with her. She was very responsive and sent pictures every day along with updates on how their day went. I felt very comfortable having her caring for the them and will definitely contact her for future petsitting needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Waldon is $66 per night as of October 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 , 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.
