“I had just finished writing an extensive and detailed message, explaining how they were great with First timers using this kind of service, but then my phone froze and deleted that long detailed review and I’m not gonna take the time to do it again 🤣. Just know that they knew how to handle first timers. I highly recommend them.”
“Qin L was absolutely amazing with Pogo! She was incredibly attentive, patient, and kind, making sure he felt comfortable and at ease the entire time. I received regular updates and could tell he was in safe, loving hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Pogo Highly recommend!”
“This is our doggo Mindy's 2nd stay with Jane, and we are lucky that we were able to book with her again! I could tell from the frequent videos and pics that Mindy really enjoyed her time. She was completely and thoughtfully taken care of the entire time. Five stars. Ten stars. All the stars.”
“OMG where should I start.. Star is very very good at sitting my boy! She frequently provides photos and updates and make sure everything goes fine. She informed me whenever she found some irregular activity of my dog and took care of him right away. My dog seems exhausted when he came back, I’m sure he had lots of super fun time in her house, because he’s sleeping very deep after he came back. I think he misses everything in Stars house, he didn’t even want to leave when we picked him up! I highly recommend Star to everyone!! I will definitely use her service again in the future! Thank you so much Star for taking care of my dog so well!”
“As my first time for boarding our puppy with a sitter I was incredibly lucky and blessed to have Lullia and her hubby host and care for Waffles. From how she welcomed Waffles, eased my concerns to regular updates and videos I am very pleased. He went home happy as he spent days playing and being outside on walks despite some rainy weather. I definitely plan to get their help again.”

Please check in specifically if you need boarding or walks etc, my schedule is very flexible and I will try my best to accommodate your request. I have a fenced yard.

“Debbie and Bill provided first class care for our dog for an overnight stay. Their home and backyard, and their own pet, made our dog very comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Araceli did amazing with my two pups for a weekend stay. She provided plenty of picture updates throughout the day. She gave us a tour of her whole doggy day care house. We were beyond amazed of how big the space was and all the essentials needed that she had. Her doggy day care is cooled with A/C so we had no worries about our pups overheating in this summer heat. We will definitely be rebooking and would highly recommend Araceli for your pups!”

“Julie and Justin were great. At first my wife and I weren't sure about leaving Archie with someone other than another family member, but Archie was well taken care of and we were very happy with the experience. Julie and Justin sent plenty of pictures and videos of Archie and i quickly noticed that Archie was fine and having fun. We were on vacation and it was as though Archie was on vacation too. There was plenty of room indoors and plenty of room outdoors for Archie to play. We are thankful for Julie and Justin being patient and loving to our doggy Archie. We would definitely request them again for Archie.”
“I am very picky about where I leave my dogs. Phoenix is a service dog in training. She's a pretty easy dog, she can eat whenever you feel like feeding her, and she'll entertain herself with a toy or soft blanket. Unfortunately due to her training she is attached to her family, she's also 85 lbs and sheds like a fiend. I was so happy getting the updates from Peter. The pictures of her getting belly rubs and playing in the yard. There were videos and she got walks. She was happy to see us when we got home of course, but I never worried about her. Peter was flexible with pick up and drop off and had great communication. I also don't use my cellphone for anything other than texting because I'm hard of hearing and they were great with that as well. They're top of my list to leave her again if need be.”

I’m very flexible, but prefer heads up since I do other side gigs also Monday to Sunday available in case i’m not the app will let you know "As a pet owner, I have gained valuable experience in providing proper care for my furry friend.

“Analisa did a wonderful job boarding our dog. She was very caring and careful about introducing him to family members and other dogs at the house and shared many photos and updates throughout the weekend so that we knew he was doing well. We will absolutely be happy to use her for boarding and daycare again.”
About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages and temperaments, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. My background includes basic obedience training, administering medications, and providing calm, consistent care for anxious pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own, focusing on their safety, comfort, and happiness. Whether it’s a walk, overnight stay, or special-needs care, I make sure your pet feels loved and secure while you’re away. Taking care of a pet is an important part of daily and weekly life. On a daily basis, pet care includes feeding, providing fresh water, and spending some time playing or exercising with your pet to keep them happy and healthy. Regular check-ins allow you to notice any changes in their behavior or health. Weekly routines often involve deeper care, such as grooming, bathing, cleaning living areas, and restocking supplies like food and toys. These activities help maintain your pet’s hygiene and overall well-being. Integrating pet care into your routine not only ensures your pet’s health but also strengthens the bond between you and your furry (or not-so-furry) friend. Caring for pets requires attention, compassion, and adapting to each pet’s unique needs. Whether the pet is in your own home or at a client’s home, the goal is to ensure their comfort, safety, and happiness. In Your Own Home: You provide a familiar and loving environment where pets receive consistent care. This includes regular feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, grooming, and monitoring their health. You can tailor activities based on each pet’s personality and preferences, creating a stable routine that promotes their well-being. In a Client’s Home: Caring for pets at a client’s home means respecting the pet’s environment and the owner’s instructions. You follow established routines for feeding, exercise, medication, and social interaction to maintain the pet’s comfort and reduce stress. Being attentive and responsive to the pet’s behavior helps build trust and ensures they feel safe while their owner is away. In both settings, communication with pet owners is key to understanding specific needs and preferences, allowing you to provide the best possible care.
About: We’re a fun, family home with lots of love to give! Your pup will enjoy playtime, snuggles, and a cozy environment where they’re treated like one of our own. I believe in gentle care, clear communication and making sure you feel comfortable while you’re away Because I work part-time and my husband works from home, there is consistent supervision in our house. Pet care easily fits into our daily rhythm. we’re already used to giving lots of love and attention. Feedings when scheduled.Your pet would be part of our normal family life, not left alone for long stretches. In our home, pets become part of our family’s daily routine. I keep feeding schedules consistent with what they’re used to, provide supervised playtime, outdoor patio breaks, and lots of affection. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, whether they’re playful and social or shy and need a quieter space. Safety is very important to me, so all interactions with my children and our cat are gentle and supervised, and pets are never left outside unattended. I also send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and at ease.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Walnut
They sent pictures most days and were very nice. They had some issues with my dogs that other sitters didn’t but they were very gracious and continued to care for them even when I offered to have a friend take over their care. I really appreciated them caring for my dogs.
Suzhen was amazing ! She sent updates to let me know my Marley was safe and comfortable. She was great with update about he’s feeding and took him on walks. She was very good with responding whenever I had a question. But most importantly my dog felt comfortable and I say that because he doesn’t just cuddle with anyone and prof is in the pictures ☺️ thank you so much Suzhen can’t wait to book with you in the future 🤗
Mercedes did an amazing job taking care of my two pups for 4 nights. She was very communicative by sending pics and updates throughout the day. My pups looked so happy in all pics and videos she sent so I was comfortable they were fine and well taken care of. I would highly recommend and would rebook again. Thank you so much.
I left dogs with the same dog sitter I have continued to use since last year. I enjoy that she sends pictures of the dogs, it gives me assurance that they are doing well. In addition, Bailey continues to enjoy his time with Peaches, the dog sitter's young dog. I should note that Bailey is 12 years old but plays like if he were a puppy.
She did an amazing job at making my dog Wisconsin feel comfortable and safe. Kept me updated with pictures so it made me feel at ease knowing Wisconsin was in good hands. He had a great time and was very happy while in her care. Definitely will rebooking with Luliia 😁 Thank you so much!
I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Miumiu! From start to finish, the communication was clear, quick, and super friendly. Miumiu was treated like family and came back home happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. It gave me total peace of mind knowing she was in such loving and attentive hands. I will definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch care for their pets!
Araceli did amazing with my two pups for a weekend stay. She provided plenty of picture updates throughout the day. She gave us a tour of her whole doggy day care house. We were beyond amazed of how big the space was and all the essentials needed that she had. Her doggy day care is cooled with A/C so we had no worries about our pups overheating in this summer heat. We will definitely be rebooking and would highly recommend Araceli for your pups!
Alice (Junyi) watched our two husky/shepherd mixes for two weeks while we traveled internationally. One of our pups had an injury scare the day before we left. Alice was accommodating, caring, and communicative, consistently sending us videos, pictures, and status updates multiple times per day to help us feel comfortable with his recovery. Both pups seemed to have a great time playing in the backyard, going on walks, and playing fetch, and overall seemed very comfortable and well cared for. We look forward to having Alice watch the pups again in the future!
We recently boarded our dog with Xueqing for a 2nd time and can't thank her enough for the incredible care she provided to Morgan. Leaving a pet is always stressful, but she treats Morgan like family. The communication was outstanding; we received daily videos and comprehensive reports on Morgan's new friendships, habits, and behavior- this level of transparency and genuine care is rare. Thank you for looking after our floof so well!
Lu is truly one of the best sitters we have ever had. She took such incredible care of my dog, and treated him like part of her own family. She has a beautiful home with a big grassy yard where my boy was able to run around freely, play ball, and enjoy tug-of-war with her. It made me so happy knowing he had so much space and attention while we were away. My boy is normally a very picky eater and often doesn’t finish his meals, but ever since he came back from staying with Lu, his appetite has been amazing. He has been eating so well, which tells me he felt comfortable, relaxed, and truly happy during his stay. Lu kept us updated, spent quality time playing and interacting with him, and clearly has a natural love for dogs. You can tell she really cares about every pet she watches. I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with her, and I would trust her again anytime. Highly, highly recommend!

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Walnut can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Walnut home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Walnut.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Walnut. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Walnut sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
