Alexa was fantastic with my fur baby! Lotus is not the easiest dog, but Alexa had no problems with her. She is an amazing communicator and really helped me relax on my trip. The next time I go away I will be booking with her.

About: For over 12 years, I’ve dedicated myself to being the best pet parent I can be, caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, as well as cats. My passion for animals goes beyond just the basics; I believe every pet deserves attentive, loving care and a healthy, happy environment. I treat every pet in my care the same way I treat my own, with patience, consistency, and a whole lot of love. Caring for animals is a natural part of my everyday life. I’ve had pets for over 12 years, so feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and health check-ins are already built into my daily rhythm. This makes it easy for me to seamlessly incorporate your pet into my routine without disruption. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or evening cuddle session, I make sure every pet in my care gets consistent attention throughout the day. When caring for a pet in their own home, my priority is to keep their routine as normal as possible, because familiar surroundings and schedules help pets feel safe and stress-free. I follow any instructions the owner provides regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and preferences. I treat every client’s home with the utmost respect and keep communication open by sending updates, photos, and messages so owners always know their pet is in good hands. I bring the same level of care and attention to your pet that I give to my own.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them. I currently have a dog and two cats, so I’m experienced with feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets, giving them attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’ve also cared for my family members’ pets whenever they’ve needed help, so I’m used to looking after both dogs and cats with different personalities and needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll treat yours with the same love and care that I give my own. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to keeping your pets happy while you’re away. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I’ll always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care. I understand how important routines are and will do my best to keep your pet comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’m a UC Davis Animal Science student who has always loved animals and enjoys caring for them. I have hands-on experience with my own Toy Poodle and have learned professional pet care through veterinary assistant experience and shadowing at veterinary clinic. These experiences have helped me better understand animal behavior, safe handling, and the importance of providing attentive care. I keep my calendar updated and always make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. I’ll communicate with you throughout your pet’s stay and provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Through my veterinary hospital shadowing experience, I’ve learned to recognize changes in pets’ behavior and handle them calmly and carefully. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise, and routines.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced dog lover and dedicated sitter who treats every dog like my own. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from high-energy pups to seniors who just want a calm, steady companion. What makes me different? I’m a marathon runner, so I’m especially great with active dogs who need more than a quick walk. If your dog loves to run, hike, or just burn off energy, I’m your person! I am currently working part time from 12-5pm. I am an early bird who is usually up from 7 am. I have a lot of free time in between those times I’m not working. I am very flexible to your dog needs. I am careful to a sense of if it was my own dog, such as special diets, routine exercise/playtime, more importantly memorable moments for your dogs life!

We have 2 very large and fast-growing puppies. Each week they are bigger and bigger. Johnina does so well with them! Even when our baby boy gets so excited he wants to jump up and give her kisses. Nina follows our directions exactly as we ask and she manages very well when we text her with a new routine we are working on with the pups. She sends up videos and pictures after every visit which is so fun and great to see! Nina also gives us a nice narrative after each visit. Nina is a regular visitor in our fur-babies lives. We can’t thank her enough for the great care she takes with each visit!

About: Hello! My name is Shin Kim. I’m a retired animal lover who has cared for dogs for many years. I have a calm, gentle nature and truly enjoy spending time with pets. Whether it’s a walk in the neighborhood, feeding time, or quiet cuddles at home, I make sure every dog feels safe and loved. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly home and only take a few dogs at a time so I can give them my full attention. I also love sending photo updates, so you’ll always know how your furry friend is doing! Since I’m retired, my schedule is very flexible, allowing me to spend time caring for dogs every day through walks, playtime, fun, meals, and companionship. I care for pets by providing meals, water, walks, playtime, attention, supervision, cozy rest areas, and treats, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved daily.

Abigail was amazing with our pet cat. She went out of her way to play with him and bring him different items for entertainment. We appreciate her attention to detail from how he likes to be fed as well as just keeping him company for an hour so he wouldn’t feel lonely. She shared cute pictures and videos and communicated well while we were away. She was respectful of our home and we look forward to booking her again.

About: Hi! I’m a work-from-home teacher and lifelong dog lover with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pups attention throughout the day. I provide a calm, loving environment with walks, playtime, cuddles, and consistent care. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I’m comfortable giving oral medication if needed. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods, and I always prioritize safety, supervision, and making pets feel comfortable in my home. My cat has a separate space from boarding dogs to ensure a safe and stress-free environment for everyone. I also love sending photo updates so owners can feel connected and at ease while they’re away. My home is a very calm and peaceful environment. Working from home gives me the flexibility to care for pets while their owners are away. I stick to what the owner already has in place for their fur child. They need consistency in their routine & I adhere to that exactly.

We are a family who cares and love each of the pups who come through our doors. Our goal is to help your fur babies feel safe and at home when staying with us. When booking a stay, please give me details of your pup(s) and their behavior. On the day of your stay, please let me know your estimated arrival coming to my home and when you've arrive. Please feel free to park in front or on the side near our mail box. I will be sending a picture of our home so you don't get lost on finding us. Your dog will be treated with so much love under the roof of my family's home. I will provide walks, play time, nap times, baths (if needed and there is a small fee), or just plain old snuggle time for your prince or princess.

I currently stay at home helping my parents with the home. Meaning someone will be with your pups 24/7 During the Summer- During boarding, pups will be taken outside from 6am to 7am to have breakfast and go potty. They will remind outside till 1pm or until the temperature feels it has increased. At 1pm they will be taken inside for the remainder of the day to enjoy the air conditioning and a long nap with occasional potty breaks. At 5pm pups will be let out and enjoy the freshness of the night. 6pm is when they will have dinner and a walk. Then at 9pm or 10pm is when they come inside and prepared for bed. **If there is any accommodation regarding your fur baby, please feel free to let me know** During the Winter/Spring/Fall- During boarding the pups will be taken outside at 7am to go potty and to have breakfast. They will remain outside for the rest of the day and will be played with by me or my father. From 3pm to 4pm they will be taken on a walk around my neighborhood and around 5pm to 6pm will have dinner. 8pm is when they are taken inside and get prepared for bed. We have a spare room we're pups will sleep along with my room as well. **If there is any accommodation regarding your fur baby, please feel free to let me know** Our home is located in a small cul de sac. We also have cameras around our home for safety purposes. Our backyard is large with two fences and a gate where pups will be when cleaning the yard. So how pet care fits into me daily life is I live at home with my parents. I study during the night and work during the day as a sitter. So I am home 99% of the time. How I care for the pets that stay in my home is we keep and eye on them throughout the house. In the front we have security cams along with some baby cams throughout our home. Someone is always home with the dogs.

About: I have been around and taken care of puppies and dogs since I was a little girl. Ever since then, my love and care towards dogs has grown. I’ve had family members and friends ask me to walk or take care of their pups sometimes. I even have a dog of my own named Luna 😊 I am working a part time job at the moment, which allows me to have free time to be able to hang out with your fur babies! ☺️ I have a comfortable and safe environment with plenty of access for your dog. I also follow any rules that are given to me in order to make your dog have a happy and productive time.

About: TLDR: 1) I’ve taken care of dogs for 4+ years 2) I love hiking and long walks 3) Dogs tend to like me and I like them My fur-nephews are away and I miss them. Both my siblings have dogs and I've taken care of them over the years. Now, your dog instead, can be spoiled by my care. I can walk your dog around the neighborhood, to parks, and maybe even to a dog-park if you'd like. I'm the person that you run into the park or on the sidewalk that starts talking to you because your dog is just that cute and I want to pet him/her. I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is flexible and we can see when could work best for our schedules. Preferably walks and/or visits are when the sun is still out. It’s important for us to have a chat so that I know what your pet’s likes, dislikes, and rules are. Once that is shared, I’ll use it to provide the best experience for your pet! :)

About: I'm super patient and I'm very attentive. I just love looking after others in general and I find joy in work like this. I've looked after my sick parents and after my sibling most of my life, I was also one of the eldest kids in my church community so I was depended on to look after them a lot of the times as well. From there I was depended on for other things like looking after the occasional pet by family friends from the church and from my own friends. As of right now regularly help take care of my girlfriend's little Pomeranian and I love him. Right now, all I am is a full-time student so other than my classes I have very little commitment and will be free for most requests. Even if my schedule overlaps I also have a very flexible schedule so I don't have to consider if I'm free too much. When with a pet, I am not just physically present but mentally too, ready to anticipate any need and determine how to satisfy it. Always ready to look out for any potential danger and on my toes to be ready to deal with anything if needed.

About: I’ve grown up taking care of my precious pups, from daily walks to “poop-patrol” in the backyard. As of now I dog-sit and cat-sit for my neighbors and friends. I have experience with all breeds and sizes, especially having grown up with my 100lb gentle giant, Rusty, and now with my own silly little terrier, Winnie, at home. I’m truly an animal lover at heart and would love to help people out by providing loving care for their furry friends! :) I currently go to college at Cal Poly Pomona, and love to take care of animals within my schedule. Whether that be taking them out for walks or stopping in to care for them and give them some company while their family is away. :) When I dog sit I take care of all the tasks the owner outlines for me while hanging out with the pup and giving them some love. This includes playing with them and their toys, taking them outside or on a walk, or by simply hanging out and giving them some pets, whatever seems to be their favorite. When I cat sit it follows a similar routine of taking care of my outlined tasks while socializing with the kitties. I’ll sit down with them and give them pets or treats (if allowed) and play with them as well if they’d like to. When I take pets for walks I follow whatever outlines are set for me and take the pup for a nice walk around the neighborhood, and usually to a park if one is near.

Julia did a fantastic job caring for our two felines. They immediately trusted her, including our kitty who is usually very hesitant to warm up to people she doesn't know. The fact that she took to Julia right away says a lot about Julia's kind and gentle nature. While we were away, I felt completely at ease knowing our babies were being so well cared for. Julia was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a special connection with animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.

Here’s a polished version of your review that keeps your tone but tightens it up and flows well: Eileen was absolutely wonderful from the very first interaction. She arrived right on time, was incredibly sweet, and my animals took to her immediately. You can genuinely tell she loves what she does, and that gave me confidence right away. I had her do drop-in visits twice a day, and she was consistently punctual. When I returned, my home was clean, and most importantly, my animals were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. She didn’t just handle the basics she took the time to play with them and make sure each one felt loved and comfortable while I was away. Eileen also kept me updated after every visit with photos and detailed report cards, which gave me real peace of mind. Knowing my pets were in such caring hands made being away so much easier. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter.

Miah is paws down the best! I'm Lucy, and my sister Arya and I want to give a huge bark out to Miah for taking such good care of us. Our family was gone, but we barely noticed because Miah was so great. She came over and played with us, and we were so excited to see her every time. She fed us just like our mom does and even played all our favorite games, especially catch! She paid attention to all the little things, too, just like our mom would. When Mom came home, I told her (with lots of happy tail wags) all about how Miah took care of us. She was so happy to know we were in such good hands. We can't wait for Miah to come visit and play with us again! ❤️The pups- Lucy🐾 & Arya🐾 - Dog mom here: Thank YOU so much for taking care my girls! You were amazing Miah. I appreciate your professionalism, attention to detail, and the TLC you gave my baby girls & Charlie. We will be booking you in the near future. 🙌🫶👏🥰

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Walnut on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 21,689 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Walnut. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Walnut stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.

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.
