“My take on Tylor is that i will be more than happy to use her services again and again. Grumpy was such a happy dog when I returned home. Thank you Tyler!!! You made my day a success!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole and have house sat for friends, neighbors, and family. They trust me to walk, feed, and care for their pets with love and reliability! I just moved to a new town and actively looking for a new job. I love animals and feel this would be a great fit for me in the meantime! I would prioritize your dog’s safety on every walk-always using secure leashes, staying in pet-friendly areas, and keeping full attention on your dogs needs!
“Isabella was beyond incredible with my four-year-old husky. She took the time and effort to make sure my husky was well stimulated and exercised. Isabella is great at communication, sending photos and updates throughout the day. She also took care of my house and followed the rules. Isabella also went above and beyond and helped Nyra get more comfortable being in a crate. I highly recommend her services!!”
“Angela is amazing! She houses sat and watched my Honey for 3 days while we were out of town. She kept us updated morning and night and sent lots of photos. Thank you Angela for spoiling our baby.”
“Anthony was so patient with our boy. He tried everything to get him to take his meds, walked him and hung out with him, establishing trust. We were very nervous about having a new sitter. And 13 dog doesn’t adapt well. But Tony did a great job.”
“Olivia did an awesome job petsitting/housesitting my two dogs for two weeks. She sent photo updates daily and made homemade food for them when the supply we prepared in advance ran out. She was a pleasure to work with and we would hire her again!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Beverly! She stayed at our house to take care of our dogs while we were away, and honestly, it made our trip so much easier knowing they were in her hands. She sent us the sweetest photo updates throughout her stay and kept us in the loop about everything, from playtime to nap time. It was clear our pups absolutely loved her, and they were happy and tired in the best way when we got home. We’re already hoping Beverly is available the next time we need to travel. Thank you so much, Beverly!”
About: I have years of personal experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, with a deep understanding of senior dog care and daily routines. My home is safe, attentive, and welcoming. I treat every visiting pet like family, ensuring they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. I am available throughout the week to provide constant attention, regular feeding, play, and long walks. I provide a clean, quiet, and safe home environment for all pets. Safety is my top priority, so I strictly follow all owner instructions for feeding, routines, and leash safety during outdoor walks.
About: I adore all animals and furbabies. Currently I only own 1 cat and 1 dog. In my lifetime ive had over 6+ cats, 2 dogs, 5 hamsters, 1 chinchilla, and 2 betta fishes. I also took some basic courses on animal care and handling courses in college for vet tech. Got to work with all kinds of animals from household pets to farm animals. Im very respectful to other humans and will follows all rules and quirks your furbaby requires. I have an open schedule so depending on your furbabies energy level and what their needs are can most likely be accommodated. I have an open park, a dog park, and some mini walk trails around me for high energy pets. I have 2 pets myself, a cat and a mini pin. I take both my cat and dog to the park or dog park with me so it'll be a play date all the pets get along. I have a fenced backyard and a friendly mini pin to keep your furbaby company. Or if they are more reserved and need their own space, I have a baby divider that separate the first and 2nd floor so each animal will have their space.
“Tracy was absolutely wonderful! Our pets loved her and she took great care of both them and our home. She left our home clean and even took care of an ant infestation we had while we were away! She sent us updates with pictures of how the pets were doing while we were away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent sitter for their pets!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life! I am a huge animal lover and am happy to learn all of your furry friends’ quirks! I’m in graduate school so I am unavailable Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM. I’m happy to do any walks or drop ins after 7 on those days. I am happy to accommodate clients’ requests! Unless specified otherwise, I would likely stop by several times a day to check on food, water, bathroom, etc! I also make a point of playing with/taking pets for walks as much as possible!
“This is the 2nd time I have used Kristen and I’m so happy that I found here. My pups are my babies and I hate leaving them but she made me feel okay about leaving them. She sent me check in photos daily and made sure to follow our schedule. Thank you Kristen ❤️”
“Maggie took great care of our pups while we were on vacation for 5 days. She walked them daily gave them lots of love and provided lots of photos and communication. We will definitely hire her in the future. Thank you Maggie!”
“We used Isabel this week for the first time - one drop in and one house sitting. Isabel provided great care for our 60 lb german shepherd mix. She sent us photos & video and was thorough and professional. We are already planning to use her again 2 more times this month. We are so glad we found her!”
“Shanise is going to be the best sitter you’ll ever have. She followed every instruction, sent us photos on every feeding/walking/potty time and updated us on how my dog is doing. She really helped relax our nerves while we were away from my baby boy. As long as she’s available, I would hire her to take care of my dog for the foreseeable future.”
About: I have experience house sitting for a family with a large husky, where I stay for several weeks at a time each year. I handle everything from feeding and walks to making sure their dog stays on a familiar routine and gets plenty of attention and care. I’ve also had dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for them. I’m attentive, patient, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m also very respectful of the homes I stay in. I keep things clean and organized during my stay, and I’m happy to go the extra step by doing a deeper clean before you return—so you can come home to both a happy pet and a fresh, tidy house. I do work part-time at In-N-Out, so there may be some days where I’m away for up to 6 hours at a time. I always make sure pets are well taken care of before I leave and as soon as I return, and I plan my schedule around their needs as much as possible. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins as often as you’d like so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away. I am currently going to school online and am employed at In-N-Out burger. While I get around 5 days a week there I have no other obligations that would get in the way of watching you sweet pets! I will always do my best to make sure your pets are happy and comfortable. I will also make sure to keep their and your space clean and tidy.
About: I've raised my current dog from puppy... house training, obedience, manners etc. I understand dog psychology and love spending time with them. I also was sitting all my neighbor and family dogs over the years. I'm currently not working, so I'm home most days available to walk your fur baby anytime. I'm walking my dog twice a day currently, can add more walks if needed. I live in an unfenced community with plenty of grass all around us. I walk my puppy on a leash always. I have an adorable Shih Tzu who can keep your fur baby company and playmate. Dogs in this house are part of a family, they can go anywhere couches etc.
“Jade was phenomenal house sitting for my dog! It was a short notice, long weekend stay she was able to accommodate for nicely, and was even able to stay an extra night when my flight home was delayed. Communication was great and I recieved many pictures of Daisy enjoying herself (and treats) while I was away!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Walnut
As a Rover sitter myself, I have pretty high standards when it comes to who I trust with my own pets, so I was very intentional about finding the right person for our first house-sitting experience. Since we now have a cat in addition to our dog, we needed someone who could care for both Lily and Jackson in our home while we were away. I really liked Azi from our first phone conversation, and I liked her even more when we met in person. She was so loving and comfortable with Lily right away, and I could immediately tell that she genuinely loves animals. That put me completely at ease knowing Lily and Jackson would be well cared for and, most importantly, wouldn’t feel alone while we were gone. Azi did a wonderful job caring for both of them. She sent us lots of pictures and videos, was very responsive, and even took care of little things around the house like watering our plants. I really felt like she went above and beyond and spent quality time with our pets rather than simply stopping by to take care of the basics. I would absolutely book Azi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pets with genuine love and attention. We are so happy we found her!
Miah has been the best person I’ve used on Rover. I have a hard time leaving my senior pups because they are my babies. But boy did they love Miah! She was very attentive and mindful of their senior needs. I always received updates and pictures daily. Miah is so responsible and will truly love your pets as if they are her own. My house was left as if we never went on vacation. We were away for a week and although we were far I always felt that my fur babies were in good hands. As if family was caring for them. She truly was the best ! And I could tell that they missed her and were looking for her when we got back. We will be contacting her for the future! Thank you from our family Miah.

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 Walnut 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 Walnut 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Walnut 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.
