“Tyler was amazing with my dogs! She house sat for my 2 large dogs (one of them being reactive) for a whole week! She followed all the instructions that we gave her. We had specific instructions to keep our dogs seperate from each other because we had never left them before and were worried about how my reactive dog would act towards our other dog while we were away. We are so grateful for her!”

About: My name is Heidy and I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I’m the current dog mom of an almost 11 year old chihuahua mix named Blue and a 2 year old beagle named Gunner l. I love animal and love caring for them. I worked as a nail salon receptionist , for two years where the dogs were the store mascots. During my time at the salon I feed, walked, played with, and even pet sat them while the owners went on vacation. I can without a doubt say that was my favorite part of the job. I currently I’m going to school for RVT and work night at Trader Joe’s. I am available every day during the day to care for your fur babies while you’re at work. I follow instructions and directions very well. I can care for your pets in your home in a safe and loving manner that would make your pets feel at easy with me.

“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!”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have 8 years of hands-on experience caring for my own pet. I also have repeat dog-sitting experience, including caring for the same dog for extended stays while his family travels. This has included multiple extended stays ranging from five days to two weeks, so I understand the responsibility that comes with being trusted with someone’s pet while they’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles and following your pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I know every pet has their own personality, so whether yours loves constant attention or prefers a little space, I’ll take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable! I’m reliable, attentive and respectful of both your pets and your home, and I’m always happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands! 🐾 My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for drop-in visits as well as overnight house sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding, playtime and care routine. I know how important consistency is for cats, so I’ll do my best to keep their days feeling as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away! I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment, so I’ll always respect your home and follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I’ll carefully follow any feeding, litter, playtime or other care instructions you provide, and make sure doors and windows are secure when coming and going. I’m respectful, clean and considerate of your space, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing both your pet and your home are being well cared for!

I opened my door to let my dog Maddie meet Jenny and Maddie walked right to her and turned around and sat on her feet which is something she does when she is meeting someone she feels over the Moon about!!! Jenny stayed with her at my place for the day and took her on small walks and kept her company which is what I really needed for Maddie. I cannot thank her enough!!”

“Yasmin is such a sweet and patient soul! She has such a calm disposition that put my family at ease to trust in taking care of our fur babies. Such a wonderful experience working with her. We feel lucky to have met such a gem of a dog sitter who truly LOVES dogs. Upon booking she offered to meet our dogs the night before to meet and get acclimated with the dogs. This was comforting…and she even brought each of them a little chew toy to play with! On the day of our booking she was great with communication, updates, and sending pictures of our girls!! It was awesome to see them having fun, playing and resting throughout the day. My German Shepherd is very high energy and she took her high play drive like a pro! When I got home she was happy and mellow from being active all day! From my family to yours, thank you Yasmin!!💗”

About: I grew up in Diamond Bar, Walnut, and Chino Hills helping to bring animals into the world via FFA (lambs, calves, etc.). I grew up on horse property in Walnut, CA (my Bio Mom in Heaven was a barrel rider, no surprise since my maternal side has Santa Anita family roots—given my English roots, I was blessed to learn to ride English and Western saddle from good friends and service work should horse-sitting opps. surface). I served with Hearts and Hooves org. while living in Shelby, NC, where we would trailer horses to school for special needs kids. Thanks to USDA for the grant funding that made that program possible! Grew up in CA around dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, reptiles, fish and horses. Having family farm roots on my paternal and maternal sides in the U.S., England and Norway and some FFA exposure, I’ve helped care for livestock, horses, donkeys, dogs, cats, goats, reptiles, fish farms, bunnies, etc. Had my own dogs, my fur kid boxers since they were pups. Trained my pups via Pet Co. courses, and adopted out a lot of animals in the area at Pet Co. locales in partnership with Cats in Need and the Pomona Humane Society, alongside the founder and owner of the Bunny Bunch org. My dogs passed away more recently after living full lives. They loved visiting Seniors at their homes who could no longer care for pets. And, my girl loved visiting Senior Living communities to lift spirits, Royal Family Kids Camp in the Summer, field trips, and Veteran events. Fortunately, animal sitting helps fill a void while serving as a blessing to people and families. While I work from home, I’m generally up early. Morning walks and evening walks and/or runs are commonplace. If I can do them with a pet, all the better! I work from my computer and phone, so helping care for animals while home, before or after work often compliments my schedule. The home I live in is very animal friendly. I have a nice fenced yard with grass and toys for dogs to play. My two boxers died more recent after raising them since they were weeks old. Fortunately, they lived full lives, and pet sitting has helped to fill a void. I’m able to crate, if desired. Share your rules and your animals schedules and care needs, I’ll gladly oblige. If there is no crate request, your pet will be treated like a fur kid while in my care.

About: Born and raised around dogs of every size, age, and personality. I come with over 20 years of experience taking care of dogs from teething to medication and senior care, and am ready to adapt my care to your pets unique needs and your own standards. I have an open schedule aside from Mondays, which I use to plan and prepare for the week ahead. On Wednesdays, I have morning commitments that keep me occupied from 7AM to 1PM. (I am able to be booked for housesitting care through Wednesdays for pets that can be left alone for those hours.) Prior to care, I am eager to discuss your pet's regular schedule, health conditions and treatments, temperament around other animals and humans, any emergency contacts, nearest preferred veterinary care, any training and walk routines, and areas of the home that require any specific attenion or caution. I like having open conversation prior to care not just about specifics of care, but about the best ways to keep in contact with you and the level of updates that you prefer during your pet's care!

About: I’ve been caring for pets for family and friends since I was a teenager, and animals have always been a big part of my life. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from newborn kittens and puppies to senior animals who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic routines, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I also have a spacious home with a large backyard and a friendly small dog who loves having new company. I treat every pet I care for like they’re part of the family and understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets. I’m home most of the day, so your pet will get plenty of attention and won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I typically take my dog out for a walk every few hours for some exercise and fresh air. I also live with my family, so even if I need to step out for an errand, there is usually someone home to keep your pet company. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re with me. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and a friendly dog of my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, or crate time if needed. I’ll always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away.

“I am incredibly grateful to have found Tammy as my dog sitter. I have two Shiba Inus, one very naughty and one very shy, and Tammy has been exceptional in taking care of them. She provided daily updates with pictures and videos, keeping me informed about their eating and sleeping habits. Tammy took them out for walks, played fetch with them, and made sure they felt loved and comfortable. Despite my dogs not being leash-free and having poor recall, I never had to worry about them running away under Tammy’s care. She managed them wonderfully, and they LOVE her. I highly recommend Tammy for anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

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.

“There aren’t enough words to describe how great our experience with Fabienne was. She watched our dog, Louie, for 6 nights over the Christmas holiday. The peace of mind we felt, knowing our dog was being well cared for, was invaluable! From the very beginning, Fabienne was excellent at communicating with us and always responded promptly. She came early on our departure day to ensure a smooth transition. We received daily updates and photos. Honestly, I’m going to miss talking to Fabienne daily! We will absolutely be hiring her for future dog sitting. So grateful to have found such a caring and trusted dog sitter! Fabienne is incredible!”

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.

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Walnut

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Walnut is $55 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $100 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 15,328 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Walnut. 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 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.

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 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Walnut. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.
