About: I am a dog mom of 3. I’ve had dogs my entire life, from puppy to old age, and dealt with health issues along the way. I’ve been watching dogs for friends and family since I was a teenager. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’m currently working in Nashville full time on the weekends, so I will be available during the week to walk and care for your fur babies. I will make sure your pup has plenty of time to play and be outside. I am also able give food or medicine if needed.

About: I have been watching, walking, checking in on and loving dogs my entire life. I own a 4 1/2 year old yellow Labrador named Finn. I am a person you can count on being there, always on time, and am very responsible. You can be at peace knowing your pup will be safe and well taken care of. I work full time and am responsible where I make sure your pets needs are taken care of. Just let me know what the needs of your pet are and I will make sure they are taken care of. I have a fenced in backyard so my home is very accommodating for dogs. If I’m taking care of your pet in your home, your home will be left in excellent condition, everything will stay in its place and your pet will be taken care of and comfortable in its home.

About: Hello PAW-rents! My name is Cindy and I am an Iowa transplant! I have a massive passion for animals and worked alongside Fort Worth's animal shelter as a foster (I'm from Texas) before moving to Cedar Rapids. As a lifelong animal lover and responsible pet care provider, I know how much your pup means to you — and I treat every dog I meet like my own. Whether we're going for a walk, sharing belly rubs, or just keeping each other company, your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort are always within my top priorities. With flexible scheduling, reliable communication, and a calm, friendly approach, I'm here to make your life easier! Whether it’s starting the day with a morning walk, fitting in playtime and feeding schedules, or winding down with evening check-ins, I genuinely enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and loved throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to consistently prioritize pet care and provide reliable, attentive service. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit or more involved companionship, I’m committed to making them feel comfortable and cared for as part of my regular routine. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to relax and play. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their usual routines and surroundings, giving them a sense of familiarity and comfort. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, from feeding and exercise to cuddles and companionship, and treat them as if they were my own.

“Carol is very responsible. Our cranky older cat gave her a hard time but she persisted and made sure he received the care he needed. She also was willing to handle other chores such as mail and plant watering in our absence. Carol provided very thorough reports with plenty of pictures.”

About: Hello! I absolutely love animals and it would be a privilege to help take care of yours. I started walking dogs when I was in junior high to raise money for charities. I would pet sit for friends in college who had dogs, new kittens, and elderly pets as well. I have a wide range of pet caring experience, can adapt to whatever your pet needs, and I am home often as a 4th year med student. I am home often as a 4th year medical student. Sometimes my schedule can still be chaotic so I communicate frequently and appreciate your patience! I have a spacious apartment, outdoor space, a couple of balconies, and pet-safe furniture that all makes for a great pet-sitting environment. I am also flexible in ensuring a pet has the best environment possible!

About: Growing up with the passion and duty of taking my neighbors dogs on walks, or dog-sitting for the weekend gave me the experience and knowledge to ensure your pets safety and happiness! Im currently working part-time so I have lots of time to take care of your pets. My schedule varies weekly, but I can do drop bys and walks any time if planned a day ahead of time. I come to my clients homes and provide your pets with love and care while you’re away, taking them on walks and feeding them. All while ensuring the safety and cleanliness of my clients homes.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Walford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 564 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Walford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.

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.
