Madison was amazing with Flash! She helped us out a lot by giving him lunch and taking him outside during the week. Would definitely book again! She is quick at communicating, thoughtful, and cares about all of the little details when it comes to your pet.

Lauren was so great with our two kitties. They warmed up to her very quickly, which is unusual for them. We felt good knowing they were in her care! Wonderful sitter and would love to have come back again.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. Whenever my family go camping and can’t take the dogs I stay home and watch them. I have pet sit for non family members in the past when I was in high school. I currently work full time and go to school but I have plenty of time in between classes and don’t have classes every day. A lot of the work for school I can get done at home so I’ll be able to be with your pet pretty often. I am very reliable and will be there when I say I will and will keep you updated on all the fun adventures with your pet! I will take your dog for walks if required and I will follow the routine that you already have while I’m there pet sitting. Since I have dogs I cannot have them at my house but I will take great care of them at your home.

About: I trained my two girls on my own. It took patience and consistent attention but they are the best girls. Worth it! I know how to tend to anxious dogs as my Aussie can be occasionally reactive. I’m working full-time as a paralegal! I work from home Monday, Thursday, and Friday. So I have flexibility to schedule your fur babies in during those days. 🥰🐾 Weekends are OPEN! I plan to care for your fur babies as if they were mine! Protective of their space; cautious of their surroundings; setting them up for success—always!

About: I have 6+ years experience of doggy daycare/boarding industry being a General Manager at a local facility. I would take care of 60+ dogs, senior dogs, puppies, reactive dogs, anxious dogs, noise sensitive dogs, etc. I also have 2 years experience in the vet field as an assistant/receptionist at a vet office and emergency care office. I also have experience with administering medications, cutting nails, & light grooming. I am a stay-at-home mom, so I am home all day including most weekends with my husband, Lucas. From waking up early in the morning to staying up late in the night, I’m always attentive. I have leads and leashes to walk your pet, take them out to the bathroom & even just to play outside! We love going to fields to play ball or just going on nature walks around our neighborhood. This can happen at our house or yours as well! Pets are closely monitored throughout their whole stay with me. I also have the ability to crate your pet during certain parts of the day if you wish, otherwise they will have access to most of our home if they stay here :)

I can't believe how lucky I got when I asked Hollie to take care of my pets a few months ago. I have now booked her for 3 occasions, 2 overnights, and 1 drop in. She will forever be my first pick.

About: I understand how stressful it is leaving your dog or having to board him or her while away. I have experience working with Rover, and I would like to resume providing pet care services. I've been around animals most of my life. I have also cared for the pets of friends and family, including my six-year-old English cream golden retriever, Maxwell. He's friendly and loves playing with other dogs. I would love to be the trusted person to take care of and pamper your pet. Leave your pet with me and we can go for walks, play ball , Frisbee, or just relax. I will provide your dog with a quiet, loving home environment with plenty of attention and care to fit their personality. I am currently home majority of the time to care for your pet. I work three out of the five days per week at home. I am available on weekends. I am in office two days per week. I drive home for Max to to take a break on my lunch hour. I will provide your pet with a quite, safe environment. If boarding your pet I will provide him or her with care that will be tailored to their needs and personality.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have always had a genuine love for animals and caring for them. I’ve provided both overnight and daytime care for dogs through pet sitting for family and friends and understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pet. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including puppies and senior dogs, and can follow medication or special care routines if needed. I provide walking, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention to help pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am currently home from school, so I have plenty of time to play with your pup! I understand how important consistency is for pets and always do my best to follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for. My goal is always to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos for added peace of mind.

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for them has been a big part of my life since I was young. I currently have a 3-year-old Australian Shepherd, so I’m very familiar with high-energy breeds and spend countless hours walking, playing, and reinforcing positive behaviors through consistent training. I genuinely enjoy being outdoors, and spending time with animals brings me a sense of calm and happiness, which translates into patient, attentive care for every pet I look after. I’ve also cared for a variety of dogs and cats while their owners are away, so I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I give to each pet. Whether it’s an energetic walk, playtime, or a calm drop-in visit, I treat every animal as if they were my own. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet will be in loving, reliable hands. I’m a full-time teacher with a consistent daily routine. I’m up early each morning for walks, and I’m home right after school to spend time playing with my dog. My schedule allows me to provide dependable morning, afternoon, and evening care. I’m also fully available on weekends, holidays, and throughout the summer, which gives me plenty of flexibility to help care for your pets while you’re at work or away on vacation. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking closely to their normal routine. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions you provide. I’m attentive to each pet’s energy level—whether that means long, active walks and play sessions or a calm visit with plenty of affection. I use positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior and can help maintain any training you’re already working on. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, mental stimulation, and exercise. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things clean and organized. I’m happy to help with basics like refreshing water, feeding, litter box or yard clean-up, light grooming, and, of course, lots of pets and cuddles to keep them happy and relaxed while you’re away.

Kelly did great with a drop in visit with my dogs. Asha is a senior lab with some health issues and Nala is very anxious but they both seemed happy and relaxed. Kelly sent pictures and updates and I would definitely hire her again.

Morgen was absolutely amazing. Coincidentally, she lived extremely close to my son, which made the entire process incredibly easy. Morgen always submitted photos of my son two cats to assure us, they were happy and doing well, considering the one routinely loves to hide. Morgen was also extremely respectful of my son's Vision Impairment. She left the apartment very clean, yet did not unnecessarily move anything to avoid confusion upon my son's return. Morgen was very gracious in her flexibility as we had a family emergency and needed to adjust the schedule at the last moment. I would most certainly request her again and 100% recommend her to anyone needing a loving cat sitter.

Paula is fantastic!!! I had a pet siter set up for my home but she had to cancel at the last minute. So instead I took my pups with me to my VRBO and hired Paula at last minute notice. We did the meet and greet and my girls Gabby & Gracie immediately loved her. She did a few drop in visits while I was at my conference and eased my anxiety that they were in a strange home without their mom. I would recommend you hire Paula, she will treat your pets like family.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Walker

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Walker on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,716 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Walker. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Walker stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Walker. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
