“Dora is amazing! She gave such sweet love and attention to Chara! She took her for walks daily and kept us informed in such fun ways with great pictures, videos and cute messages. We’re so thankful for Dora and loving our doggie well and even making sure our house was perfect!”
“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.”
“Jennifer went above and beyond our expectations. This is the first time we've used someone we didn't know to watch our dog. Nervous about being gone for a week. Jennifer sent pictures, went on walks, played with our dog and much more. Jennifer was texting us each day with updates. Would highly recommend Jennifer and Rover service if you need someone to watch your dog.”

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 value making the whole family feel comfortable with my services and leave your mind at ease when it comes to me being your sitter!
“Braydon is an awesome pet sitter! He took great care of our 2 pups and home for 3 weeks! The dogs loved him, and he even helped one of our dogs learn to walk better on a leash. Braydon followed all instructions for taking care of our pets and provided special meal preparation when one of our dogs had some eating issues. He communicated regularly with us and sent lots of pics, which put our minds at ease while we were away. We are so happy to have found Braydon and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone! 😊”
“Took great care of our pack for the day and sent us some awesome pictures. Also was available at last minute and very flexible. We would highly recommend! Very compassionate and affectionate to our babies. Thank you!!!”
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.
“Wow, I can not believe the great job that she did and will definitely be using her services again. I was left a little in a predicament when another sitter backed out in me just 3 days before I was supposed to be gone for a week. Denise answered my last minute plea for help and we did a meet and greet with the animals. She did a great job taking care of them and I am sure they will miss her especially Coco, who she always took on walks. I highly recommend her.”

“We had a great experience with Sydney . She was very communicative, responsible and kept us in the loop throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear our dogs were well cared for and comfortable. We really appreciated it”
About: I have never known life without critters in my home, and I ran our family farm for a few years as well. From the smallest terriers to Great Pyrenees, all manner of farm fowl, and at least a half dozen cats, I’ve cared for and loved a great many. I take pride in my attention to detail and observation, I am a life-long student of animal behavior and mannerisms. I work a flexible schedule for my full-time job (financial bookkeeper), and find myself with general availability in the mornings and evenings. With prior scheduling, I will be happy to house sit your critters 🥰 I love written instructions! You know your pet best, and I want to do what I can to keep them happy and comfortable. In my home, we have a friendly dog and a dog-friendly cat. Socialization is great! We have the space for two additional dogs and two additional cats at any one time, and I’m happy to involve any training you’re doing with your pet into my time caring for them.
About: I’ve been responsible for taking care of animals since I was a child living on my family ranch. I have 15 years of personal experience as a pet owner and caring for dogs of friends and family. I currently work from home full time and I am able to provide continuous care throughout the day and night. I am able to provide walks and potty breaks as frequently as needed. I am a very strong believer in using a leash at all times when there are other dogs and animals present, not only for their safety, but for the safety of the animal I am responsible for as well. I currently do not have other dogs or cats in my home that might create problems in the environment.
About: I have cared for animals as long as I can remember. I rescued my two dogs and have saved and rehomed several dogs and cats since then. My schedule is fairly flexible, I work mostly from home. Im able to provide pet care around my work schedule. I can do drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine. I live in an apartment with access to a private dog park where residents respect the time and space of other dogs. This gives dogs a safe, controlled space to exercise and play without having to worry about other dogs. I do not allow my dogs to play with dogs we don't know, and the same will be for yours.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,163 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
