“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 watched our two dogs in our home for 3 nights and 4 days. She did an excellent job. She gave updates a couple times a day. She also responded whenever I reached out. We would use her again.”
“Genevieve stayed at our house to watch Marlow for the weekend. She did a great job, was super communicative, and sent lots of pictures. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Andrea took such great care of my dog, who after the weekend was happily tired out and had obviously gotten lots of love and cuddles! Andrea was also respectful of my home, leaving towels hung up, and cleaning up after Enola in the back yard. 10/10 reccomend!”
“Hillary was absolutely amazing! She made me feel completely at ease leaving Franky in her care. She kept me updated with frequent messages and adorable pictures, so I never had to worry for a second. That peace of mind was truly priceless. I would recommend Hillary without hesitation to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!”
“Ashleigh was great companion for our pup ella bean! She went above and beyond when she had a car issue and still got to our pup and take care of her! She was very happy when we got home. She also went above and beyond helping us keep plants watered and odds and ends.! Highly recommended!”
About: I can work with dogs that have anxiety and aggressive. And cats too and any other animals. As I love animals of any size big or small Saturday-Sunday I can do anytime Monday-Friday after 2:30pm unless I'm staying in the house sitting and petsitting. Then time doesn't really matter as much then. Environment would be your home as I rent and they don't allow petsitting. Depends if yard is fence area if it is then I will play ball with them.
“Kelly is attentive and communicative. She watched our dog who doesn’t like fireworks after the 4th of July and Kelly was kind and updated us frequently to let us know that Arya was doing great. She is extremely respectful of your home and all around awesome!! Highly recommend - our dog loved hanging out with her!”
“Uyen did such a great job on very short notice. She was responsive and communicative the whole time we were away. My dogs and home were in great care with her!”
About: I've walked a lot of dogs! Some of my earliest experience was with my own childhood dogs. Then when I volunteered as a dog walker at seven star sanctuary in Saint Joseph. Some of my more recent has been walking my little brothers very excitable flat coat, Richard. I'm currently looking for work, so my schedule is open! I like to walk dogs since I can get in exercise while I work. I have a fenced yard that is shared with my duplex neighbor. They have kids and a small dog. I would take your dogs on a leash until I knew they'd be safe! I have plenty of space, but it'd be appreciated if you could bring their bed with them!
“Michelle is wonderful with our 2 dogs. She sends frequent messages and some pictures to let us know how they are doing, which we appreciate. It gives us peace of mind while we are away from our babies.”
“Kevin did an amazing job with our two pups. They both have medication needs and Kevin took care of them with no worries. He even vacuumed! We will definitely have Kevin come again. Thank you!”
“Hannah did a great job! She helped us out last minute when our dog sitter canceled. She was punctual, kind and took great care of our pup. She communicated well, and played with our dog while we were away.”
About: With 12 years of experience, I provide daily dog care for all ages, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication routines, and house sitting. I grew up with a dog and volunteered at a humane society supporting daily checkups and adoptions. From Monday to Friday I am available to care for a dog or cat after 5:30pm On Saturday and Sunday I am available from 9am to 8pm I treat every pet as if they were my own. I focus on safety, consistency, and comfort by following routines, maintaining a clean environment, and giving lots of attention. I respect your homes, provide regular updates, and make sure pets feel secure, loved, and stress-free while in my care.
“We had such a wonderful experience having Emma watch our pets! She was incredibly caring, responsible, and attentive, and we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her care. She kept us updated, followed all of our instructions, and made sure our pets were happy and well taken care of. It was such a relief to be able to enjoy our time away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be using her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely loving toward animals!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Walker
Amanda was an amazing house sitter for us while we were on vacation! She took great care of our two cats — a 5-year-old and a kitten who requires a little extra attention. Amanda was a wonderful communicator, sending us daily updates and pictures so we always knew our kitties were doing well. She also followed up promptly with any questions we had, which gave us such peace of mind. We would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Walker on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,004 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Walker. 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
