“Tanya has been awesome from the start. She responded almost immediately to our initial request, promptly set up and had a meet and greet, and through the stay kept us informed. And most importantly, kept our 95 pound pup happy! It's great to be able to be away from home and not have to worry about the pets. We've already booked our next overnight. Thanks, Tanya! We appreciate you!”
“Caroline was fantastic ! She quickly established herself as a conscientious caretaker of ours dogs, cats, and home. We will definitely be using her services in the future.”
“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.”

About: I've done pet sitting for dogs and cats over the past few years, taking care of puppies to elderly dogs. I am more than comfortable giving your pets the love and attention they deserve, going on walks and getting plenty of pets and food. I'm currently taking classes at UTSA, I have a class around noon but other than that I'm available all week long, including weekends and holidays! I check many times to make sure they have water and are fed on a regular schedule, I stay in the same room as them to make sure they're safe and happy and take them outside every other hour or so for a potty break and to stretch their legs.
About: I love any type of dog, and will spend all the time I can with them, young or old. I want all the dogs, but can't afford them. Teacher on holiday break, I have loads of time, and love to spend it with dogs and walking as much as I possibly can to help myself exercise. I follow directions that the owner gives to the best of my ability. I'm recovering from a ruptured ACL, MCL , and torn meniscus surgery, so I love the exercise.
“Braydon is one of the best dog sitters I’ve had on this platform. He kept me updated throughout the day and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. He followed all of our house rules, played with the dogs, and made sure they got their walks in. When I came home, the house was exactly as I left it. Most importantly, my dogs genuinely seemed to love him, and that means everything to me. I’ve already booked him again and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
About: I love dogs of all shapes and sizes! I will strive to give your fur baby the best possible care he/she will need. I can offer my services for drop-in visits, walks, or house sitting. Some info about me: I have a master’s degree in speech-language pathology. I love working in the medical setting and helping patients reach their therapeutic goals. Caring for fur babies is an additional bonus. My pet experience: I grew up caring for a German Shepherd who eventually had geriatric needs. I also enjoy occasionally caring for my parents’ 4 year old German Shepherd when needed. I currently have a female goldendoodle puppy whom I love & adore. In the past, I have also owned and helped care for cats, a parakeet, a rabbit and a variety of fish. I typically work Monday-Friday so I am available in the evenings or on the weekends. Reach out to me to see how we can schedule caring for your fur baby! Your fur baby’s safety and happiness is my number one goal. As I always prioritize my fur baby’s needs, yours will be prioritized as well!
“Damien did an amazing job at caring for my dogs. They warmed up to him very quickly loved being around him. He was also very respectful of the house and very clean. I will be booking him again. I highly recommend Damien to anyone needing a good sitter.”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up in a home where my parents bred dogs, so I have experience caring for puppies as well as small and large breeds. I’m very familiar with feeding schedules, basic training, and giving dogs the attention and care they need at every stage. I currently have a puppy of my own, so I’m very hands-on with daily care, routines, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I work from home, which allows me to be present throughout the day and give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and love. Your pet will be treated like family while they’re with me 🤍 Pet care is my full-time job, so I’m available anytime to give your pet consistent attention, supervision, and love throughout the day and night :) I offer pet care both in my home and in my client’s home, depending on what works best for you and your pet. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with constant supervision since pet sitting is my full time job. I also have a room dedicated fully to pet sitting with toys, cat tree, dog beds, ball pit and lots of treats and enrichment activities. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free.
“We are so thankful for Brylee! Communication was great while we were away and our dog Buddy seemed so so happy when we got back home from our weekend trip; hoping to book Brylee again in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have four rescue pups of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I regularly dog-sit for friends and family, helping with feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pets with someone, and I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m very organized and flexible. I’m willing to work to ensure pets receive consistent care, attention, and comfort throughout the day and week. I’m available on weekdays, and I’m also available for overnight stays. I’m fully available on weekends and happy to adjust when possible to make sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for. I’ve house-sat countless times and always treat pets and homes with care and respect. I’m responsible, well-mannered, and attentive to routines and instructions. I frequently volunteer at an animal shelter, which has helped me become comfortable working with all types of pets, temperaments, and energy levels. Pets are also welcome to stay at my home—my dogs are very friendly, and I can safely crate pets if needed or allow them to relax comfortably in my home, based on owner preference.
“We were in town for work and really wanted to bring our 16 weeknold Cavapoo with us as we just adopted him. We reached out to Ashley before arriving in San Antonio to ensure she had availability. We read reviews of various sitters and decided on Ashley. Upon I still contact right up to picking up our fur son, we felt comfortable. She was very accommodating and had a wonderful vide from initial contact up to when we picked up our puppy. We definitely will use her again if we are in town again. If she lived by us, we would hire her a a lot!”
About: I have always loved caring for other dogs when growing up. My pup is the same way. We both love visitors and would love to have your fur baby stay with us I work from home Full time. My routine with my own fur baby is feeding twice a day and potty breaks 3 times a day. We also do frequent trips to the dog park onsite. My Penny girl is one of the most social dogs I’ve ever had. She loves meeting new dogs and is such a good host when we have fur visitors. I work remotely which allows me to give quite a bit of attention to my pup and any visitors.
“Great service and excellent communication. My pets were very well taken care of and they even managed to make friends with my antisocial cat. They sent tons of pictures throughout the visit and stayed in constant communication. Would definitely book with them again.”
“Andres is hands down the best dog sitter we have ever had. Not only did he quickly win over us but our dog’s absolutely love him as well. Andres was extremely communicative- sent us pictures, videos and updates throughout the day. He followed all our requests and went above and beyond in the care he gave our dogs. Our dogs were walked multiple times a day and were even taken to the dog park- which they loved. Andres also took care of our home like it was his own- he even washed our dog covers and mopped our floors (our dogs are still being pee pad trained.) For the first time in three years we felt a 💯 comfortable being away from home, because we knew Andres was there taking care of our dogs. Highly recommend Andres for your dog sitting and/or dog walking needs.”
“Christian took great care of our house and dog while we were away. He was very communicative before and during the house sitting. We received frequent updates and our dog enjoyed time spent with Christian.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Walnut Grove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,154 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 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 sitter’s 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, you’ll 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.

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.
