About: Hi! I’m 25 years old and a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your furry (or feathered!) family member needs a walk, a quick drop-in visit, overnight care, or extended sitting, you can count on me to provide reliable, loving care while you’re away. I currently have an Australian Shepherd mix and a pet bird, so I’m experienced with both dogs and exotic pets. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every animal has unique needs and routines. I’m also experienced and confident in administering medications, whether that means pills, liquid medications, or following specific care instructions to keep your pet healthy and comfortable. My friends, family, and previous clients consistently describe me as dependable, compassionate, and attentive. I’m proud to have glowing references from pet owners who trust me to care for their beloved companions, and I work hard to earn that trust with every visit. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, playtime, and updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently available for overnight stays, drop-in visits, dog walking, and other pet care services, and I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets. I can’t wait to give them the same level of care and affection that I give my own! Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine, so caring for additional pets fits seamlessly into my schedule. I start and end each day caring for my own Australian Shepherd mix and pet bird, making sure they receive plenty of exercise, enrichment, attention, and love. Because I’m already committed to a structured pet care routine, I’m able to easily incorporate walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, medication administration, and overnight stays for my clients’ pets. I understand how important consistency is for animals, so I make it a priority to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whether it’s an energetic puppy that needs extra playtime, a senior pet requiring medication, or a shy cat that just needs some quiet companionship, I’m happy to provide personalized care that helps your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my highest priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure in my care. Whether we’re out on a walk, playing at home, or simply relaxing together, I remain attentive and patient while ensuring they stay safe at all times. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, loved, and in good hands.
About: In need of someone to care for your fur baby(babies)… I’m your dog sitter! I love animals, I will treat them like my own Gizmo( Bullmastiff mix); the complete experience opposite of a kennel! I do work as well as dog sit but with assistance, if by chance I have to step out, they will be unattended for no longer than 3 hours max. From blind and elder dogs to energetic puppies, I cater and adhere to all needs and requests. To maximum your reservation and get your fur baby(babies) settled, I do prefer early morning drop offs if that is convenient for the owner. I am able to do local pick ups as well if available for a small fee. Walks and playtime are scheduled catering to the pet(s) feeding times, potty times and energy. I typically walk 3 times a day and the distance varies by the pet’s comfort. Playtime and “pawtytime”( your pets deserve Me time too) fits in between walks. Your pets will be loved and treated like family every visit. I have an open apartment for them to run around and be themselves. I’ve housed a cat and 4 dogs at the same time (with their owners permission and being mindful of compatibilities) due to my minimalistic living atmosphere. My apartment is alarmed by Ring and I have a camera to monitor when they are unattended. My apartment complex has a small lawn in the front, this where they will frequent to for potty time and/or stretch their paws for a brief moment. For walks, I stay local to the Beltline, Piedmont park and Central Park.
“Marci is the best! She watched my four dogs overnight in my home. She brings calm to the dogs and to me. She sent plenty of pupdates, she’s puntual, a great communicator and cate taker. She also took great care of our home.”
“Desirae was awesome and my dogs loved her! Not only did she allow me to book her on short notice (only a few days prior), she communicated great, sent lots of pics and videos of my 2 dogs, and followed my directions to the tee. My husband and I will definitely be booking her again!”
“I was away for about one week and Ruah stayed with my babies. She took great care of them. I will definitely be a returning customer! I highly recommend her services if you are looking for someone who truly cares for your pups!”
About: I've had pets growing up my entire life. I love animals and just enjoy being around them and giving them love! I've taken care of several pets for friends and family and just want to continue to do that for others when needed. I have my own business so I have a very flexible schedule and can be available day or night to take care of your furr babies 😊 My own animals are so friendly and loving and my home would be completely safe for ur furr babies but at this time I won't be able to board any pets at my house. This may change in the future.
“Dave was absolutely amazing! We have two very rambunctious Aussies that have loads of energy and they had an amazing time. Dave was very communicative and is always welcome back whenever we need someone to watch our babies in the future.”
“We have now used Hailey repeatedly, and have absolutely loved having her house sit for our boys. Her communication is outstanding, photo updates multiple times daily, and our house is always clean when we return. She loves on our pups like they are her own, and we appreciate her so much!”
“Abigail was amazing! Gave me such peace of mind knowing my babies were in good hands. She took care of my dog and 2 cats as if they were her own. Happy to know we all made a new friend and will most definitely be contacting her again next time”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple animals since the age of 7. I’ve had 3 different dogs and dog breeds, and they were always loving and happy to be in my care. I currently have an 11 year old healthy yorkie who has had such a happy life filled with love, people think she’s a puppy still. I am naturally knowledgeable about important information when dealing with animals, and I’ve also been a temporary care taker for my grandma. Im currently an 18 year old who’s finished with highschool, aspiring to become a student in esthetician school so I have plenty of time for your adorable fur babies! I’m available from 6 am- 7 pm. I have a fenced backyard, an alarm system on my house, a quiet, clean home, and a calm, kind 11 year old female yorkshire terrier at home along with my mom and my 5 year old little brother.
“Jessica was great! She made sure everything went smoothly and my dog seemed to have a good time while I was away. Thankful for her quick response at the last minute to come stay at the house with my puppy.”
About: Veterinary assistant and lifelong dog enthusiast offering premier sitting services. Skilled in dedicating to your pet's happiness. Trust in my expertise as I pursue my dream of becoming a veterinarian! My main job schedule is typically 7:15 AM–6:00 PM, but I do get a 1-hour lunch break and occasionally half-days, which I can sometimes work around. I plan pet visits around my shifts and make sure they’re consistent and reliable. For longer trips or multiple daily check-ins, I’m usually able to coordinate timing in advance so your pet’s routine stays on track. I’m also flexible where possible and do my best to accommodate clients who travel or have changing schedules I care for pets by following their routine closely—feeding, water, cleaning, and bathroom breaks when needed. I check in on their overall behavior and comfort, and I pay attention to any changes in health or stress, such as skin issues, appetite changes, or unusual behavior. My goal is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and consistent with their normal routine while owners are away

FAQs for House Sitting - Walkertown
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Walkertown on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 888 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Walkertown. 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 Walkertown 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 Walkertown 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 Walkertown 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Walkertown. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
