“Betty was wonderful! Bo enjoyed taking long walks with her, we got updates and pictures each day and our pets were happy when we returned. Our house was clean and well cared for, and she even washed our sheets and towels. Betty handled everything we asked of her without complaint. We will use her again! Highly recommend.”
“If I could give Marci 10 stars I would! She went above and beyond when we were traveling OUT during the ice storm and returned during the snow storm. She braved the horrible weather and took excellent care of our dog and cat. With going through such a stressful time figuring out flight cancelations and delays it was such a relief that she made sure we knew our dog and cat were happy and safe and cared for. It made all the difference in the world, her thoughtfulness and kindness has gone above and beyond what was expected. She checked in regularly with pictures and we were able to enjoy our time away without one worry about our pets. We will continue to book with her! The. BEST. Dog sitter.”
“Chelsea was great! When booking, she responded quickly to our request and questions. She made a instant connection with our dog at the first meeting. We appreciated knowing someone was home to play and snuggle with our dog while we were away and she sent photos to keep us updated. Our dog was excited to see us when we got home, but not crazy, jumping everywhere, so we knew she had been well exercised while we were gone. Chelsea was also a great house sitter - no problems with anything, very respectful and cleaned up after herself. We will be using her again!”
“Kristin was great. She sent us updates throughout the day and took the pups on walks. Our dogs truly enjoyed her company. We look forward to having Kristin watch our dogs again.”
“Mya was great with our pup! I have a very energetic and rowdy Aussie, and she did a great job playing with him and watching him for the weekend while I was gone. She was great about updating me, sending me pictures, and letting me know how everything was going! Thank you Mya!”
“Amazing experience having Samira house and pet sit! My dogs loved her right away and I was able to travel knowing everything was well looked after! Samira sent regular updates and pictures. Communication was great. I could not have asked for a better experience and will hope to have Samira come again next time we need pet sitting!”
“Jes was so great as a sitter and a house guest. Always on schedule, very communicative and clean and thoughtful even with managing a fluffy dog coming in and out in the NYC winter rain. Would have her back anytime!”
“I was very pleased with Brooke. She took good care of my boy. He was very happy when I got home. And showed no signs of stress from my absence. Good communication also.”
“Chelsey was fantastic with my three dogs and cat. It was a holiday weekend and I was nervous about leaving my elderly dog for any length of time. Chelsey sent many pictures and regular updates. When we got home the house was perfect and all the babies were relaxed and happy.”
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
About: I have started caring for pets since I was 12 I watched my family friends three dogs on many occasions and helped to potty train her new puppy. I have taken four years of vet and grooming in high school and know a lot about heath and safety for pets and grooming procedures. Also included walking the dogs through out the day. I love pets so much and would love to hang with yours!! I’m currently in college but I am online so I will have plenty of time to play and be with your pets throughout the day and they will rarely ever be left alone. We do have a fenced yard and I have four dogs your dog can play with they are all very friendly and love new friends I have multiple crates so if needed your dog can be crated.
“We have a senior dog who needs someone with her and Caleigh did a great job with her. She provided pics several times during our trip which were greatly appreciated. House was in great shape when we got home. Will definitely book her again!”
About: I have worked in veterinary hospitals ever since I was 16 years old. I am CPR certified in humans and animals. I have a home full of an Australian Shepherd, two cats and a very quirky turtle. I consider myself to be a bonus mom to all my pet sitting clientele. I do work from home and with my flexible hours, I would love to incorporate more animals into my life. I am very thankful to have a remote job that can follow me anywhere. I work flexible hours that give me plenty of time to give your babies all the love and attention they need while you’re away. I offer in house pet sitting, medication administration, even trained to offer any injectable medication required. I’m huge on sending my clients photos and updates on their pets throughout my stay and keeping them just as connected. I value a one on one to make your animal love me like second mom.

The average cost of House Sitting in Walkertown is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $99 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 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 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.

- 92% 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.
