House Sitting in Walnut Grove

“Laura is so great. She gives us comfort when we travel because we know our kitties and home are in good hands. Communicative, caring, and such a nice person!”

“Emma was amazing and took such good care of Trigger. I loved getting the pics and updates on him. They made me feel so much better while I was gone. Will definitely be requesting Emma for future sittings!”

Kimberly M.

“Bree went above and beyond for our three animals and our house. Everything felt clean and fresh when we got home, which is an ultimate luxury after being away for several days. Genuinely the best person I've booked on Rover. Bree gave lots of updates and had great questions before and during her stay. Can't wait to book her again!”

Nicolette Z.

“Garrett was amazing! He kept my dogs happy and sent updates frequently. He’s a lifesaver!!”

“My mind was at ease with Samantha watching over my beloved and precious dog and grandog. She was quick to respond and kept me updated on their daily playtime. She stayed with them overnight to make sure no 3 am possum chasing would annoy my neighbors . House was pristine on my return and I think Ozzie was disappointed I wasn’t her! They loved all the attention and did fabulous.”

Sabrina B.

“Samantha was truly exceptional and went above and beyond in every possible way. From the very beginning, her communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring, which immediately put us at ease. While we were away, she treated our home and pets as if they were her own, showing an incredible level of care, responsibility, and attention to detail. She kept us regularly updated with thoughtful messages and photos, handled everything seamlessly, and even took care of extra things we didn’t expect or ask for. It was clear that she genuinely cares and takes pride in what she does. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a spotless house—honestly better than we left it. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust, Samantha is it. We couldn’t have asked for a better house sitter and will absolutely be booking her again. Highly, highly recommend!”

About: ~~ I’m the perfect sitter for your anxious, mellow or chill or senior dog as I have a calm and peaceful presence. ~~ What sets me apart is that I work remotely, which allows me to be present with pets throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. This gives me the flexibility to respond to their needs, routines, and energy levels. I’ve had experience with animals for many years. I previously owned a black lab named Aurora, and I currently have an orange cat of my own. I also regularly help care for my mother’s two dogs — a Maltese Schnauzer and a Golden Retriever — and I’ve looked after my sister’s dog multiple times in the past as well. Animals tend to gravitate toward me because I pay close attention to their body language, boundaries, and personalities. I’m very mindful of their cues and comfort levels, which helps me understand what they need and how they’re feeling. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’d be happy to give your pet the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. If I’m housesitting, I’m practically readily available. I work a full-time remote job that will still allow me to be present and handle the tasks needed to care for your pets. I would have time to see them in intervals multiple times a day with no problem and with plenty of time for play. But if drop in visits, I can do 2-3 drop in’s. 1st at 7:30-8:30a, 2nd at 11a-1:30p and 3rd at 4:30p-10p - depending on my work schedule and the daily demand. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the understanding that it is first and foremost your pet’s home and safe environment. I’m very respectful of both the home and the routines that your pet is used to. I keep the environment calm, clean, and consistent so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules. I also avoid loud noise or disruptions and aim to maintain the same peaceful atmosphere your pet is used to. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for, while also treating your home with the same respect I would my own.

“Reanna was fantastic for dogsitting and gave plenty of updates and pictures throughout the weekend of her overnight stays at my house. My dogs loved her too! :)”

About: I've taken care of several dogs and cats for friends and neighbors, whether that's just checking in or staying overnight. I am avaliable to accompany the pets for extended hours or days. Pet sitting is my full time job, so I am usually available whenever! I'm able to either stay with the pets or check on them periodically. I am able to watch pets at a client's house, always keeping an eye on them and making sure they're doing alright. I prefer visiting and/or staying in their environment, making sure the pets more comfortable and less stressed.

“Stephanie is the best pet sitter we've ever had! She went above and beyond when one of our dogs had a medical situation and likely saved his life. Calm, pleasant, super responsive to calls and texts both! The house was immaculate and our other pups and kitties super calm and happy. Really caring! We can't thank her enough, and will surely invite her back. Fenway, Scooter and Sally say "4 paws up!"”

Julie B.

“We could not be more pleased with Jonna. She kept us informed with just enough texts and pictures that we knew thery were being well cared for. One example included "We all fell asleep on the couch last night." We knew all was well as that is typical of my wife and her "babies". We will would give 10 stars if we could.”

About: I’m an animal science major with lots of different animal experience! I foster with local shelters, extern at a local veterinary office, and pride myself in research/care I’ve taken with my own animals and others. I’m currently a full time student MSU. Most of my classes are first thing in the morning, then I’m available for the rest of the day. I have a completely fenced 1 acre yard with 3 personal dogs who are completely used to new interesting dogs from previous fosters. I kennel all of my dogs and all meals are given separated. No animal in my house is left alone together unsupervised.

“Dakota did a great job, loving on and taking care of Sam and Milo while we were gone. We will definitely use her services again in the future.”

About: We love dogs! We are called first when any of our friends go out of town. We have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages from older doxies to young mutts and we love large rotties too. We are also okay with special needs dogs and we make sure your dog gets their medications when scheduled. Our lab loves to make new friends with dogs of all sizes. We have a nice privacy fenced in back yard with a kiddie pool to help the dogs keep cool during the summer even though they will spend most of the time inside. Please know that if your pup stays with us he or she will be treated like a part of the family. We love dogs! I help my Dad on his farm only when I'm not scheduled to care for a pup I'm hosting. I'm free to stay at home all day with your pet. I always keep an eye on what's going on. I'm usually outside if our pups are. If I'm watching a pet at your home, I don't make messes.

About: I’ve taken care of multiple kinds of animals starting at age 12. From horses to hamsters. I’ve nursed fur babies from the elderly to puppies. Nothing is unfamiliar to me and I have strong confidence in my knowledge. I have shadowed and volunteered in animal shelters and vet clinics. One thing is for sure I put any animal before anything else. I do work three days a week and off the rest of the week. I’ll have plenty of time to spoil your furry companions! I have a fenced in yard for all the four-legged babies to run and enjoy. An energetic aussie that is well behaved and knows basic training for your energetic companion to play with. I have a separate room for your sweet companion to sleep in at night. My location is a small town perfect for peaceful walks.

About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and currently have two australian shepherds. I’ve raised and cared for my dogs since they were puppies, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience with daily care, walks, routines, and providing a safe, loving environment. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I treat each one like they’re part of my family. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and gets plenty of attention while you’re away. As a stay-at-home dog mom, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Since I’m used to caring for my own dogs, adding your pet to my routine feels natural, and I’ll make sure they receive the same level of care and attention I give my own. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or providing walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow their routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions you provide. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure while their owners are away. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision, and I’ll always treat your home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own.

“Had Sherrie a couple of times, my dogs love her and she always keeps the photos and videos coming which I love. Very respectful of my home and plan on using her again”
