“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!!”
“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!”
“Jenny is someone I would highly recommend for sure! 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!!”
“We were so happy with Tracy. She is very professional and I felt very comfortable leaving my furry babies with her. The dogs loved her immediately. I would fully recommend her. And I would not hesitate to use her again.”
“Five stars isn’t enough. We’ve had great dog sitters, but Beverly blew us away with her kind, thoughtful, and communicative approach. We’ve never felt more comfortable and confident leaving our home and dog in her extremely capable hands. Thank you, Beverly! Will book again and again.”
“Maggie is amazing! She was in constant contact with me, sent many pictures and videos, which I asked her to do. My dogs love her so much and I know they were very well taken care of. I found her kind of last minute, she was available and accommodating to my time. I highly recommend Maggie, I am beyond happy I found her, and will definitely rebook next time!”
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’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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since high school with my first dog. I start helping my host family’s and friends’ dog after I move out for school and work. I usually off on Mon, Tues and Fri, but sometimes could be more days off. I start with my day at 0630am weekdays no matter work or off. Please feel free to chat with me and ask questions. I’m more than welcome to meet with you and your lovely dog before any plan.
About: I started keeping cats in 2015, and currently I care for three cats and three dogs. The dogs are small breeds (a Shiba Inu and a Maltese), while the cats are American Shorthairs. My work primarily involves night shifts, so I have plenty of time during the day to play with your pets, look after them, and monitor their health. In China, I gained three years of experience providing in-home care for cats and dogs; I am adept at handling various basic feeding routines as well as unexpected situations.
“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 ❤️”
About: I have been resident of Diamond Bar for over 10 years. My family and I have had many dogs and cats over the years, along with turtles, frogs, guinea pigs, fish, hamsters, and so on. Pets have brought my family so much joy! But with that joy comes the agony of leaving them to go on business trips or vacation. I truly understand this struggle and hope to make your time away a little more carefree. I'm currently working from home part-time and have lots of time to care for pets. I can care for your pets in your home or mine and am available for walks or drop-in visits anytime. I have a home with a fenced yard. We do not have any pets. Your pet will have the house and lovely yard to play and frolic.
“Britney was so good with Lily and treated her like her own! She was awesome at communicating and sent pictures! She stayed at my place and kept it clean! Thank you Britney! Will definitely rebook!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Rachel did such a fantastic job taking care of my pup! I felt at ease the entire time. She sent lots of updates and pictures/videos of my Ellie, she even brought her some treats and a toy!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Walnut is $63
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.
Raquel watched our two boys and it went perfectly! Highly recommended! One of our dogs has seizures and she was all over the very strict medication schedule, provided regular updates which was great. It honestly could not have gone better. We’ve had sitters in the past where we’d get home from and have to do chores (house cleanup and outside poo cleanup), but not with Raquel. House was immaculate, boys were well cared for and we’ll definitely be using her again for our next trip. Book with confidence.

FAQs for House Sitting - Walnut
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Walnut on Rover is $56.61 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 15,420 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
