“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.”

“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 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.
“Macie was a blessing! She was able to watch our pup last minute and we could tell he was well taken care of and loved while we were gone. We received updates and photos which warmed our hearts, making it a little bit easier to be away. Highly recommend booking with Macie :)”

“Athena was fantastic! She took exceptional care of our senior GSD, played soccer with her, rescued her from an unexpected dip in our spa (ball chasing), and communicated clearly. Bonus, she is a great pet photographer and we received several frame-worthy photos and really fun videos while we were away. Highly recommend.”

“What an incredible in-home experience! Not accustomed to being left alone, Gilly our Basset Hound is gleeful when she comes through the door after her first day sitting. She is sensitive to all his requests and needs. He is one happy dog. She devotes every moment to your pup and comes up with great experiences to keep them content and entertained She respects your boundaries for your pet with love. He has been through a lot of major changes the last few years and can be anxious when something new comes along. With Britney, he is so calm and has all the confidence in the world she will protect him. Britney is very knowledgeable and communicates very well. We highly recommend her and wish she was our human caretaker. We will hire her again and again.”

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.

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!

“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.”

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.

Devanna was so good with our wild Weim and also took such good care of our other animals as well! She left our home spotless as well and our pup seemed very happy (and tired) when we returned from our trip. Thank you Dev for such a great first overnight visit with Biggie! We’ll definitely see you again soon 🥰

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.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
