“This was my first time leaving my dog for more than a day and my first time using Rover services so I was definitely nervous… but I didn’t need to be! Holly did great taking care of my boys and I can tell they were well cared for, played with, and cuddled. She was great to communicate with and left the house in great shape. I will definitely be using her again if I’m in need ◡̈”
“Lillie house sat for us and took exceptional care of our two cats and dog. We came home to a tidy house and happy pets and appreciated the daily updates and proactive communication. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Emma was wonderful! We were gone for almost 3 weeks and she provided loving care for my cats. The house was clean and neat upon our return. She went above and beyond by washing the bedding and putting clean sheets on the bed. We were given frequent updates as to how things were going while we were away. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Tayler was very responsible and took great care of our two dogs. She was responsive and easy to work with too. The dogs really enjoyed their time with Tayler. I would highly recommend her as a dog/house sitter”
“MacKenzie was great, staying the night with our dog Maizie and cat Woody. We had to cut our trip short and she was very understanding. You can tell she loves animals and that's the #1 thing we would look for.”
“Michelle was great! I needed a sitter at the last minute and Michelle was able to help out. She kept us up to date while we were gone and sent pictures. She was a wonderful house guest as well. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes for over five years. Since childhood, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies, senior dogs who need extra patience, and everything in between. I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. As a college student with classes only on Monday nights, I have a very open schedule throughout the week. I’m available for dog sitting, dog walking, house sitting, and drop-in visits, and can spend plenty of quality time with your pets at your home. I’m also available on weekends, making my schedule flexible to fit your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your routines and instructions to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I provide lots of attention, walks, and playtime, and I keep a close eye on their well-being. I’m respectful of your space and will treat your pets and home as if they were my own.
“Deborah was fantastic! She watched my 10 year old rescue lab mix for a week, who required daily meds and lots of attention. She made adjustments to make sure she kept up with regular meds and eating. She also provided frequent updates and pictures! ❤️ Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, kitties, and farm animals since I was 12 years old. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me for years to ensure their fur babies are well taken care of while they are away, whether it’s a weekend or a week. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I’m a reliable and attentive animal lover who understands that every pet has its own personality and needs. I prioritize safety, consistency, and comfort, making sure pets feel secure while you’re away. With a strong sense of responsibility and genuine care for animals, I treat every pet as if they were my own—providing not just basic care, but companionship and trust you can count on. I work a full time job 3 days a week for 12.5 hour shifts. It is understandable if that deters animals owners away from choosing me. On the days off, the fur babies will get all the love I can give them! When I’m on a sitting job, I always stay at the clients home for the duration of the sitting job so their fur babies are in the comfort of their own home with no environment changes.
“Megan was wonderful, she keep us updated on our dogs and sent pictures through out her stay. Our dogs and home was well taken care of. We have several trips planed and will be using Megan again.”
“She was very understanding of why I needed somebody to watch him and my dog really liked her watching over him. I've never left anybody in charge of him before and I would let her do it again without hesitation.”
About: I’ve been doing overnight dog sitting for 7 years, I have many reoccurring parents reach out to me! I am a student getting my masters who loves to go on walks! I have quite the busy schedule but I prioritize the pets as much as possible! When I’m not at school I’m always sitting around with the pets so they aren’t alone and stay as much at the house as I can! I care for the pets just like I would if they are mine, I always find time to make sure they are not left alone for an extended people of time and they always love me!
“Matt was an excellent sitter for us. Took good care of our dog and kept us informed. Left the house clean and in good order. Even agreed to provide airport transportation. Would not hesitate to use Matt again.”
“Emily does a great job with Atti! We always come home to a house in at least -if not better- shape then when we left it. Atti boy is good and tuckered out from walks and loves.”
“Jenna took great care of our girls for the weekend! She was at the house exactly when she said she’d be, sent lots of photos, and was super responsive. She even got our nervous little dog to eat, which can be a task for her. Will 100% be using Jenna again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Walker
Abbey was such an incredible dog sitter. She was very communicative and sent lots of great pictures along the way. She was considerate of keeping the home clean and offering to strip the bed/ clean up after herself and even took in the mail. I could tell Josie was well taken care of and was very loved! I’d love to have her dog sit/ house sit again!!

The average cost of House Sitting in Walker is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $72 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 Walker 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 Walker 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 Walker 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.
