“Trevy to the rescue again! We had to scramble to find care for the holiday weekend and Trevy came through as she always does. The pups were obviously well cared for and we were kept up to date with pictures and messages throughout the weekend.”
“Wendy did a fantastic job for us taking care of our fur-babies and house while we were out of town. She was very communicative and sent us regular updates and photos showing our pups happy and relaxed. She was proactive in alerting us to an issue before it became a problem (we left a window down in our vehicle!). She left the house very clean and handled our mail and trash collection flawlessly. She followed all of our instructions for the pups including giving medication and gave us a lot of comfort that they were well taken care of while we were gone. Will definitely use her again.”
“First time meeting Aaliyah and right away felt comfortable leaving my pets with her. Got regular updates and she followed every one of my instructions. Thank you!!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was young! This season of life doesn’t allow for it, but I have lots of love to give! I currently work from home, so my schedule is flexible. I take walks every morning and evening, even when I don't have a pet by my side! I am a detail-oriented, trustworthy and responsible person! I will take great care, even to the smallest detail, ensuring your beloved fur babies are well taken care of!
About: I’ve always loved taking care of pets and I’m usually the #1 person my family comes to when they need a sitter! I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to all kinds of needs that pets may have. I enjoy playing, walking, feeding and making sure they feel safe and loved while you're away. I am currently a college student at UTSA and am available most of the week to take care of any pets! I would love to meet them! Although I will not be boarding I’m more than happy to do pop ins and pet sit at your house! Trust that all pets will be greatly taken care of and all of their needs will be met. I value making the whole family feel comfortable with my services and leave your mind at ease when it comes to me being your sitter!
“Beau and Gucci like Dora and seem comfortable when she arrives. She is relaxed and calm with both dogs, and they instinctively respond to that. She arrived on time Saturday morning, but left earlier than scheduled on Sunday (when she discovered her car wouldn't start after attending her morning church service). We recommend Dora for pet and house sitting.”
“Haley is so sweet, and she took care of my dogs and home beautifully. Everything was perfect when I got back. My fur babies are very demanding, with competing personalities, and she handled it like a pro! I would 100% rebook her.”
“Haley came through for us in a pinch! We had a last-minute schedule change and she came right over to meet our Mieka and they hit it off right away. She sent photos while we were gone, checked in, and was so sweet to us and our pup. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”
About: Hi, my name is Savannah Widder, and I've been around animals all my life, and love caring for every one of them. I've worked with animals like dogs, cats, and rats. I also have experience working with diabetic dogs, requiring daily injections. I am a college student working a part-time job, so please reach out to figure out if my availability works for you. I am a college student working a part-time job. Classes take up my time from 12:00pm-4:00pm Monday-Thursdays. I typically work an evening shift, so from 5:30pm-10:00pm at the latest. I would be available to see your pets morning, afternoons before work, and evenings after a shift. I have five cats and three dogs of my own, so I’m very experienced with caring for multiple pets. My pets are fed twice a day, and my dogs are let out 4–5 times a day. I keep my cats groomed, their claws trimmed, and their litter boxes clean. When pet sitting, I visit three times a day—morning, afternoon, and evening. Morning visits are usually 30 minutes to an hour, afternoon 30 minutes, while evening visits are typically 1–2 hours. I make sure pets are fed, cared for, given attention, and kept comfortable while their owners are away.
“Ella did a great job with our animals on a short notice booking. She was very helpful and communicative while we were away. Our dogs were very happy and well taken care of during our time away.”
“Moira did a wonderful job with our fur babies. Very responsive whenever I had a question. Sent me pics of my fur babies while I was away and they seemed to warm up to her very quickly. Highly recommend her!”
“Bryanna was great with George! She followed all directions without issue and sent many pics. Always keeping me updated on how she was doing. Arrived early and was flexible when I needed a little extra time. I will use her again if I have to come back to San Antonio! Really great job.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Walnut Grove
We had the pleasure of having Allie house sit for us again. She left the house in great condition and cleaned up after herself and the pets! She is reliable and I know my pets had a great time and were in great hands. Thank you so much Allie! We are so lucky to have someone we can trust and rely on
We came home to happy doodles and a very clean house. We had to extend our trip by 1 day unexpectedly, and Allie was very flexible giving us peace of mind with our pups. She even made sure one of the doodles received her meds (needed an extra dose since we were gone an extra night) unprompted by us. She washed all of the linens she used and made our bed, which was a dream to come home to after a 10 hour drive. We would absolutely hire Allie again, and highly recommend her for overnight care of fur babies.

FAQs for House Sitting - Walnut Grove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,167 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.

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.
