“Daniel is a rock star dog and house sitter! He took great care of our two dogs over the Christmas holiday and sent us updates with photos twice a day. When we returned, the house looked just like we left it and our dogs were happy and looked well cared for. We definitely plan to contact him for any future dog sitting needs.”
“Our dogs seemed to be very happy and cared for while Sarah stayed with them. She provided photos and feedback throughout her stay, which were greatly appreciated. Our home was left in perfect condition as well. We will definitely use her again and would recommend her to keep your fur babies.”
“Abigail did a fantastic job watching our critters! She was great about sending pics of Oban and Mabel, and she kept our house looking nice and clean. We would definitely have her house sit again and recommend her!”
“Madison was everything we hope for in an overnight pup sitter. She is great with the dogs, extremely communicative and responsible. We look forward to having her care for our fur kids again soon.”
“Jody takes great care of my 3 babies! Absolutely fantastic pet sitter—dependable, caring, and communicative. Our pets were well cared for and they clearly enjoyed their time with Jody! Will definitely book again!”
“For a first time Rover user, Kira was everything we were looking for to care for our dogs while out of town for a few days. She was respectful, called with any questions, and even sent pictures and updates everyday! I know our two sweet pups enjoyed her with them! We will definitely be using her again! (:”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and personalities for several years. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule, and can provide pet care during weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m happy to work with your routine for walks, drop-ins, boarding, or overnight care. I do my best to be available when you and your pet need me most. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and routines. I also give regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while away.
“Catecha did an excellent job caring for Aries. I’m very detail-oriented with his routine, and she followed everything exactly as asked; feeding times, water schedule, play structure, and settling. Her communication was great and gave me a lot of peace of mind. She checked in often, responded quickly, and made sure I always knew how he was doing. Aries can be a high-energy dog with specific needs, and she handled him with patience, confidence, and consistency. She even took care of small things around the house, like taking out the trash, and we came home to everything just as we left it. I felt comfortable the whole time and would happily have her care for him again.”
“Lealy was an absolute pleasure to have in our home. She watched our 3 dogs and stayed at the house to watch over everything. I will not ever use anyone else. She has a permanent customer”
“Hana stayed with our dog Rudy for 5 nights while we traveled overseas. Rudy is a rescue and has trouble trusting new people, so Hana came over twice before the stay to hang out with him, which was wonderful. As expected, Rudy took about 24 hours to get used to her, and Hana was understanding and calm about the situation. She also emailed me regularly to keep me updated of progress. We came home to a happy dog and a very clean apartment- she went above and beyond and we couldn't have been happier. I'm actually booking her again for the summer. ”
“I was very nervous about going on vacation for five days leaving my animals, but I found Abigail on Rover and she was absolutely amazing. I’ve told my friends about her. She took very good care of my animals. I would definitely recommend her. She gave me detailed information and updates on my babies. Thank you Abigail. You are the best.”
“Mckenzie was the first sitter we ever had, and she was great! She took great care of our crew, and knowing she was there with them gave us a lot of peace while we were away. She connected with me daily, shared pictures of my pups, and asked questions if she needed more information, which I really appreciated! On the way home, we got a flat tire, and she was willing to be on standby to let our dogs out in case we were home too late. She also left us notes about the week, again, which I appreciated! Highly recommend and we would definitely use her again! Thanks Mckenzie!!”
About: I’ve taken care of every animal you could find in a pet store. I worked for petsmart for over a year before leaving for the US Navy. I learned how to train dogs as well as groom while working there. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, and I’m good with all animals big and small from dogs to snakes. I work Part-Time so I have more than enough time to play and take care of your pups! I set my own schedule with my job so any day of the week I’m available, and if you need me to stay the night I can do that no problem ! I will keep your little ones safe and sound, and make sure they get plenty of play time safely. I will make sure they are out of harms way in and outside of your home !
About: I have taken care of horses my entire life and have pet sit for other family and friends. I have experience with all kinds of animals and even have some of my own! I am currently a daycare teacher during the week until 5:00 in the evening so nights are completely open for me on weekdays and I am wide open on weekends! I live in a house with an outdoor cat- there are dogs that live in the neighborhood but are fenced in. In my client’s home, it is my goal to keep everything organized and clean.
“Taylor was great! The boys (2 dogs) seemed to enjoy the time and were very calm when we returned. Always a good sign! We will definitely be looking to book again for our next time away.”
“After my regular sitter cancelled because of family issues I was lucky to find Ariel. She came before the days I needed for a meet n greet. Both of my Boys were fighting over her attention as soon as she got here. I will definitely use her again. My boys are spoiled and love cuddle time. One is a “talker” and she sis great with both.”
“This was our second time requesting Joanna's services to take care of our two dogs. She's always so kind and communicative. She made sure to send plenty of pictures and updates during her stay. She's also clearly a dog lover, as she takes such great care of our boys and they love her dearly. They're so comfortable around her. Our house was also in great shape when we got back. We couldn't ask for more & at this point she's really the only person we'd trust to take care of our dogs!”

Our dogs seemed to be very happy and cared for while Sarah stayed with them. She provided photos and feedback throughout her stay, which were greatly appreciated. Our home was left in perfect condition as well. We will definitely use her again and would recommend her to keep your fur babies.
Elizabeth was amazing and patient with both Lily and Lewis. Her updates gave me peace of mind and allowed me to focus on my work trip. I knew she was giving my pets the same love and care I would if I were there. Highly recommend her for any of your furry friends.

FAQs for House Sitting - Walnut Grove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 3,334 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Walnut Grove. 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 Grove 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 Grove 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 Grove 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.
