âWe could not be more pleased with how wonderful Paula was with our German Shepherd! We highly recommend Paula to anyone who needs an a pet sitter! Not too many people I know can handle a big German Shepherd and she did an amazing job, taking such good care of him! Our boy Maui loved her from the moment he met her and that says a lot, because if Maui doesn't like you, he will let you know! Paula also keeps you updated daily with professional looking photos, she has an eye for photography as well! What a relief it was for us to be able to find Paula, as we are newer to the area and do not have family close by to help. I would give her a 100 stars!â

âMeredith hung out with our redbone coonhound puppy while we attended a wedding in Nashville. Communication was top notch! Meredith arrived on time and took her responsibilities seriously. We highly recommend Meredith as your next Rover. You will not be disappointed!â


About: I love going on walks and hikes with dogs. My dog is a senior dog now at 12 years old and has hip issues. She doesnât get to do that anymore. I know how much dogs love to walk. I recently retired a few months ago, so my schedule is pretty flexible to meet the needs of the clients. I have to be busy. I have a fenced in yard myself but I go out with my own dog. I will go out with your dog as well to ensure safety.
âAmber was great with Goose, weâll definitely be repeat customers! She checked in frequently and wasnât afraid to ask questions (when I forgot to tell her something haha). Very courteous and respectful of our house while we were away. Goose loved her and will look forward to her next visit. Amber worked around my schedule to pop over for a meet and greet, which was much appreciated! Thanks Amber!â


âJemima was a fantastic sitter! She stayed in our home and took great care of our dogs. Our puppy is a stubborn eater and she worked with him to make sure he ate enough throughout the day. Along with sending daily updates and photos, she also provided extra patience with our older dog who is skittish on night time walks. It was easy for us to relax on our trip knowing our dogs were safe and well cared for. Would absolutely book with her again!â

âWehad a meet and greet with Ami before the actual booking and I just knew she was the right fit for Kevin. We had great communication while I was gone and she sent me the cutest pictures as well. If you are looking for a reliable sitter, look no further than Ami! We will definitely be booking with her again.â

âCassandra did a terrific job with our "old lady" elderly cat! Her communication was great, she did a meet and greet ahead of our trip, and Polly was happy and did so much better with someone here at the house instead of drop-ins. Our house was spotless when we arrived home. We have already booked her again for future stays!â


About: I have taken care of animals of different ages and sizes over the course of my pet sitting career. I pride myself in individualized care for the different animals and taking the time to interact and get to know the animals in my care! While I do work a full time job, I have flexibility with my start and end times with my work and can leave on lunch to check in with your animals. I am sure to set aside time to take animals on walks and take lots of time to play! I currently do not have any pets in my home, so the pets in my care would get very individualized care if they stay with me. When I house and pet sit, I am also sure to maintain cleanliness within the home!

About: I have always had pets in the home. I have watched a lot of animals over the years & I even make sure the family comes back to a clean home. You wont even know I was there. I currently only work part time from 8 AM - 2 PM so there is plenty of time to play with the dogs/cats. I don't do much on the weekends so I would be at the house most of the time! I live with 2 dogs myself now & I love to cuddle with them & play. I currently do not watch dogs in my own home but would love to come to yours. This also helps so the dogs/cats are comfortable in their own space.

About: I grew up with 2 cats and 2 dogs. I have since adopted 3 cats and 2 dogs of my own! Providing love and care for fur babies is my top priority! I work full time as a teacher, but am available for afternoon and evening walks and visits during the week. On weekend I have open availability! I have a fenced yard for my 2 dogs to run and play safely. My cats lives a lavish life with their 4 tiered cat tree. Our dogs and cats have a special diet of the best natural ingredients for their individual health needs.
âElyssa is awesome! Her background and experience was what caught our attention, but she really was wonderful while she stayed at our house with our pup. She went above and beyond to keep the house in order and keep our little one happy. We will definitely use her again and encourage others to do the same.â

âWe couldnât be more thrilled with Jackieâs care for our dog, Maggie! Sheâs been absolutely amazingâsending us regular updates, taking Maggie on long walks, and providing such loving attention. Maggie adores her, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing sheâs in such great hands. We highly recommend Jackie to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and reliable dog sitter. Thank you, Jackie, for going above and beyond!â

âMaggie did an amazing job house/petsitting for a long weekend. My girls were obviously well-loved while I was away, and she even washed sheets and towels upon her departure. Highly recommend!â

âAshley was great with my girls (LuLu and Anya). Kept me informed and shared pictures of their time together. The meet and greet made me very comfortable to leave the girls in her care. Definitely recommend Ashley as your preferred sitter.â

About: I have 4+ years of experience with many types of animals including dogs, cats, and even bunnies. Iâm an animal lover who just wants to be surrounded by them as much as possible. I can train as Iâve had 3 dogs myself in which Iâve pretty much trained all 3. I am doing online school right now and have a bunch of free time to take care of the pets in need, but would prefer weekdays. I have a fenced yard with PLENTY of room. Very spacious living space where they can roam if wanted and just to have in general.

About: Iâve always had such a big love for animals, and having a dog and a cat of my own has made me love caring for them even more. đž Iâm happy to accommodate each petâs individual needs and make sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home! đ I currently work part-time while attending school, so I primarily offer drop-in visits and dog walking. I have more availability for housesitting on weekends and am happy to work with you to find a schedule that best fits your petâs needs! Iâm happy to accommodate your petâs individual needs, whether that means administering prescribed medications as instructed, letting them outside for potty breaks, sticking to their regular feeding schedule, refreshing their water, or keeping them company while youâre away. I can also help maintain their usual routines, clean up after them, and provide plenty of love and attention so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are well cared for in the comfort of their own home!
About: Hi! My name is Carley, and I adore animals. I grew up on a farm with horses and cows, and I have been working in veterinary medicine since 2022 as a veterinary technician. I am experienced with small, large, and exotic pets! I also have experience with petâs medical care, administering injections, and working with anxious ones! I strive to fit your petâs schedule into my schedule! Let me know of any accommodations needed! I am available up to 4 visits a day.

âMoriah did an amazing job caring for my dog in my home. She was attentive to the needs I detailed and provided excellent care while I was away. She sent regular updates and photographs to keep me updated. She left my home cleaner than she found it. I would highly recommend her for in house dog sitting.â

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Walnut Grove
Gabriella has been wonderful since the start and continues to impress us with every subsequent sitting! She treats our dogs and home as if they are her own, and somehow manages to wear out and win over both the most high energy and most unimpressed of our dogs. Our oldest has shown her his playful side and our youngest is willing to slow down and cuddle on the sofa with her - both huge feats! I can't say enough good things about our experience with Gabriella. She sends us pictures and seems to genuinely enjoy her time with our pups, and it just makes our trips more enjoyable knowing our dogs are so happy and taken care of so well!

Kayla is thoroughly professional, very attentive to details, and stellar follow through. My dog instantly fell for her and is happy throughout her stay (she sends pics to prove it.) Excellent pet sitter, took excellent care of my residence and my dog got to stay happy in his normal space. â¤ď¸

Paula was absolutely wonderful with our 10-year-old Lab! She was incredibly attentive to his needs and cared for him with the same love and affection she would give her own pet. Her daily photo updates and thoughtful messages gave us such peace of mind and allowed us to truly relax while we were away. She was equally respectful and attentive to our home, leaving everything in impeccable condition. We genuinely appreciated her thoughtfulness, care, and attention to detail throughout the entire experience. We couldnât have asked for a better person to care for our sweet boy and our home. We will absolutely use Paula again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable!

FAQs for House Sitting - Walnut Grove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Walnut Grove is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,088 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 sitterâs 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 homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.

- 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.
