“Shaelyn was amazing! Her communication was incredible, and our dog absolutely loved her. The regular photo updates were so appreciated and truly made the whole experience even better. We felt completely at ease and would 100% book with Shaelyn again.”
“Anthea is wonderful!! We appreciated her daily updates with photos. It was so nice having her in our home to keep our 16 year old girl on her schedule. Anthea paid extra attention to the details! Our 9 year old girl was clearly well cared for as well! This is the best way to feel comfortable while traveling and knowing our dogs are getting the level of care and attention they deserve. Anthea took great care of our home as well! Already looking forward to our next booking!”
“Janexis and Zach were wonderful with helping take care of my reactive and anxious pit mix, Minnie. They sent just the right amount of updates, and she looked so happy and at home with each picture! They kept me at ease the entire time. They were also flexible when I needed to extend their care, and left my place cleaner than I left for them! I will definitely use them to care for my pup in the future.”
“Jayne was incredible! She was so good with our boy and our home. She kept me updated the entire time and kept me completely at ease. She went above and beyond in every aspect, I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone!”
“Lyla did an incredible job! She gave me updates and was flexible with my crazy schedule. Overall she brought a lot of peace while I was out of town. Just knowing that my dog was so well taken care of. Thank you Lyla!”
“Sierra was perfect for my high-energy puppy. She completely understood how demanding a young dog can be, making sure he got plenty of exercise and playtime. The photo updates she sent were fantastic and so fun to receive. I came home to a spotless house and a very tired, happy dog. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Amy is wonderful! She took wonderful care of my Velcro pitbull, Obi. I came home to a clean house and happy pup! She also communicates well and gave me great updates during my trip. I would 100% recommend her and plan to book her again soon! Thank you, Amy!”
“Peyton took such great care of our pups! We got a ton of pictures/updated and he kept our house nice and clean while he was there. Would definitely have him stay again!”
About: Ever since the age of 5, my family has always had pets around us. From rabbits to cats, to dogs, and even Beta or Goldfish. After I moved to the Pacific Northwest at 21, I adopted a stray cat. Unfortunately a year into taking care of him, he passed away due to uncurable health issues. After I mourned and missed him, I went on to adopt and raise a 2 month old female gray kitten, who is now 11 years old. I also have a Blue Heeler/Cocker spaniel mix who I adopted from the pound 6 years ago. He was middle aged when I adopted him so I really got to learn how to manage an older dog by taking care of specific needs and having regular vet check ups. Two years ago, I adopted two teenage gray sister cats, who are now almost 3. My fur babies are a tight nit family who gets along with one another, and I am proud to watch them grow and flourish in the lifestyle I have made for them. As for experience, aside from taking care of the family pets growing up and being a long time pet owner, I worked at Red Rover dog sitting company back in 2017 for about a year, going to peoples' homes for either a 20 minute dog walk, hour long dog park adventure, or overnights for dogs if owner was going to be out of town and needing something more long term. Due to how busy I was at the time, working a full time set scheduled job, I was unable to make spare time. In the last few months, I have no other obligations with needing to work full time, and am ready to take care of other peoples' animals. I have always taken joy in helping others out with their pets because I know how hard it can be when people have to go to work, be gone all day, go camping a few days, or traveling several days. I know about that lifestyle all too well and always love when people I trust watch my pets. If you want a reliable pet sitter who your pets will become familiar with fast, I may be a good fit for you. I currently do this full time so I have a lot of flexibility. Just reach out to me and I will allot a time block for your pet :) Services Offered I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight pet care. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care while keeping your pet’s routine as normal and comfortable as possible. Drop-In Visits Drop-in visits include potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention. I can accommodate up to three drop-in visits per day, depending on availability. Overnight Pet Sitting For overnight stays, I remain at your home overnight and spend the majority of my time with your pet. Because I have a dog of my own, I may need to briefly return home throughout the day to care for him. These trips are typically limited and scheduled around your pet’s needs, and your pet’s comfort and well-being will always remain my top priority. If your dog is friendly with other dogs and my dog is welcome to accompany me during overnight stays, I offer a 20% discount on house-sitting services.
“Madison stayed in my home for 2 nights. She was very good about sending a picture each day to show me my dog was ok and content. She seems very kind and trustworthy. My home was as clean as when I left and I felt my dog was well taken care of. I no doubt would want to have her pet sit again.”
“Heather was so friendly and professional. She took great care of my pup, Frankie, and sent me updates throughout her stay. I enjoyed my weekend away knowing that Frankie was safe and well-cared for.”
“Amy has the perfect temperament and disposition for this role. She came on time and was willing to stay for as long as we needed (we were flying home). Her calm and even-keeled demeanor was perfect for caring for our dog. Additionally, she is personable and great at maintaining communication with the owner. Would most definitely rebook with her. Recommend 10/10”
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, and I absolutely love animals of all kinds. I have cared for many dogs and helped train my own, including ones who have behavioral/food guarding issues. I have cared both puppies and senior dogs, including a household that required pet separation due to behavioral issues. I am well-versed in things like potty training, giving medication, basic grooming , and keeping animals away from possessions/getting into food/etc. I take care of any animals I pet-sit for like my own, and I am committed to making sure they are safe and happy. I currently have a very open schedule, but will update if needed. If 24/7 supervision or overnight care is not requested, I may run errands or go back home between checking on your animals. Frequency of check-ins depends on location, and while I will attend to your pet to the maximum of my ability, each situation will be handled on a case by case basis. Upfront communication about what you and your pet need is highly appreciated. I am committed to making sure any special instructions are followed, and I will see that your animals get their needs met both adequately and on time. This includes making sure medications are given on time, water is filled, walks are long enough and not during hot parts of the day, and animals are let out of crates when needed. I am totally fine with cleaning up after indoor bathroom accidents/vomit, although if this is a frequent issue with your pet please let me know beforehand. My main goal is to make sure your home is the same as it was when you left it.
“Our family needed Jacob during a very difficult time. Jacob was kind, prompt, and immediately hit it off with our girls (Bear and Tookie). He was available to provide last minute care for our fur babies and sent updates daily on their well-being. We will definitely utilize Jacob‘s services in the future. He comes highly recommended by all our family members!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we had an awesome experience with Tiffany! Mochi can be a bit dramatic and for sure shows her Shiba attitude — but Tiffany was awesome with her as she is very knowledgeable and flexible. She eased all of our worries with leaving Mochi for the week, and we were definitely able to enjoy our trip more knowing that Mochi was in good hands! We got pictures and updates daily, and Mochi said she had a great week :) We will definitely book with Tiffany for our next trip!”
“Two words. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. "I had such a wonderful experience with Steele! One of the highlights was receiving daily photo updates—it was the best part of my day and really put my mind at ease. It was so clear from the pictures that my dogs were happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I returned home to very relaxed Finnegan and Lucy. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Steele again!"”
“Pat did a great job with our 2 senior dogs with special needs for 5 days. Our babies are not easy to care for. Pat kept in contact and even did the dishes. We will hire her again. Thanks Pat!”
“Danielle was a fantastic dogsitter! She was willing to come to meet us and our dog ahead of time to see if it could be a good fit. She was very sweet with our dog, and I could tell that he felt comfortable with her. We had her dogsit at our home for a long weekend, and she provided daily updates with photos and reports of how our dog was doing. She really gave us peace of mind, and we would definitely trust her with our dog again in the future.”

He was available to provide last minute care for our fur babies and sent updates daily on their well-being. We will definitely utilize Jacob‘s services in the future.

Annie got our nervous boy to cuddle with her! She did such a wonderful job watching both our dog and our cat while we were out of state. Gave us peace of mind that our babies were safe with her for the week. Can’t recommend her enough, gave us updates and pictures throughout the week as well!
Lyla was great with our big fur baby and home for a week, while we were on a family vacation. She was very quick to respond any time we checked in, while also proactively sending updates and pictures. Lyla left our home very clean and undisturbed. I highly recommend Lyla to others!
Sierra was perfect for my high-energy puppy. She completely understood how demanding a young dog can be, making sure he got plenty of exercise and playtime. The photo updates she sent were fantastic and so fun to receive. I came home to a spotless house and a very tired, happy dog. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone!
Alex in now my go-to sitter for my Aussie. I really appreciate his clear and reliable communication, and I come home to a dog who is happy and well cared for and a tidy house. It's a relief to have someone I trust to take good care of my little dude when I go away.
Mareka was a great sitter for our three dogs while we were gone for the week! She was great at providing updates with photos and giving the dogs lots of cuddles while we were away. She also went above and beyond with helping us take our trash out on garbage day, and left the house nice and clean to come back to. Definitely would recommend booking with Mareka, and will again if we ever need another dog sitter!!
Janexis and Zach were wonderful with helping take care of my reactive and anxious pit mix, Minnie. They sent just the right amount of updates, and she looked so happy and at home with each picture! They kept me at ease the entire time. They were also flexible when I needed to extend their care, and left my place cleaner than I left for them! I will definitely use them to care for my pup in the future.
We are so grateful we found Jenny! When we’re on vacation, it feels like our dog is too. Jenny takes her on car rides and adventures, and makes sure she gets all of the treats and love she deserves. This past visit she even went above and beyond to rush Winter to urgent care when a health issue arose. Jenny takes impeccable care of our house, gives frequent photo/ video updates, and is honestly just a delight to chat with. Winter is always excited to see her and I would definitely recommend her to any of our friends!

FAQs for House Sitting - Walnut Grove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Walnut Grove on Rover is $53 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 4,447 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Walnut Grove. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
