“Anthea took such loving care of my babies (a dog and 2 cats). She kept me informed of how they were doing and sent several pix. And she left my house in perfect condition. I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“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.”
“Shaelyn provided excellent care to my two dogs while we were gone for a week. Even though they take a long time to warm up to new people, she was patient and won their trust. Would def book again.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Shelby did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, house, and plants. Minka has some chronic health issues that get worse when we travel. We booked Shelby for overnight stays and Minka did really well. Shelby was great at communication, managed all of the medications, was respectful of our house and requests. She kept our plants in good condition despite an unexpected heat wave. She left the house very clean and we’d be happy to book her again.”
“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!”
“Peyton was fantastic! He stayed at my home and took amazing care of my dogs. It gave me incredible peace of mind to know that they were taken care of while I was away. My dogs were clearly happy and comfortable with him and the house was clean! Ragnar was sad to see him leave! Peyton was reliable, communicative and thoughtful sending updates every day with pictures! I would absolutely trust Peyton to watch my dogs again and highly recommend him for others!”
“Amy did a great job staying with Beau overnight. Beau is epileptic and Amy was confident and comfortable with it and potentially of dealing with a seizure. I didn’t worry at all about Beau and it was my first time leaving him with someone I didn’t know. I would 100% recommend Amy and will absolutely use her again.”
“Amy is exceptionally professional and loving. Charley responded to her quickly during our meet and greet. Amy took great care of our home and went above and beyond during her stay.”
“Pat took good care of our pup and left our house as we found it. Our dog is pretty naughty but it seems like she figured out his tricks. She also had good communication and responsiveness.”
“Kelly did great watching my boys for me! Very communicative, and sent me plenty of pictures while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to watch your fur babies for you, and I will 100% be reaching out to her if I need help again in the future!”
“Caity was fantastic, watching both of our wonderful pups for us! They took to her very well and we are so appreciative of the work she did with them, especially our puppy Luna! Cannot wait to work with her again!”
“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!”
About: I grew up around dogs, cats, and horses, so from a young age, I was taught the importance of giving animals the specific care they need to thrive. I’ve been pet sitting since I was a teenager and never pass up the opportunity to make a new furry friend. I’m a work-from-home educator and cat parent just trying to make some extra income, so I will have plenty of free time for snuggles, treats, and chin scratches! I’m also a runner who would love to give your energetic pup the exercise they crave. Please reach out if I sound like a good fit, and I’d love to meet your pet and offer you peace of mind. I’m a teacher with a pretty flexible schedule during the summer, so I will be free every day with the exception of a few weekend trips. I am also a high school distance running coach, so I will occasionally have summer runs with the kids to work around. I live in a small ADU with two cats of my own, so I can only offer pet care in your home. I also find this is the best way to limit stress for your pet and offer you the additional peace of mind of a house sitter if desired. I’m available for drop-in’s for pets who need their space or for overnight visits for those who need more company.
“Heather did a great job house sitting for us! Shiro, our dog and Saffy, our cat had great company while we were away. I would definitely recommend Heather and would request her services again.”
“Kaitlyn genuinely joyed taking care of my pets. They are both on medications and it's challenging to dispense them correctly. It was done perfectly. She took really cute pictures of them and kept in touch with how things were going. I am hiring her again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Walnut Grove is $54
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Walnut Grove
Kayley is amazing! She was very trustworthy with keeping our cat inside the house, safe, and happy. He's a high energy guy and he got the attention he needed to not feel lonely or stressed. She was reliable with being on time and following our instructions. We will use her again and I can happily recommend her to anyone else.
We couldn't be happier with the care our pets received! They were incredibly reliable, communicative, and sent the cutest daily photo updates. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our fur babies were in such loving hands while we were away. Highly recommend.
She has house sit for us twice now and we are so grateful to have found someone we trust with 5 fur babies. We have two Great Danes and 3 cats with very particular personalities, and we were nervous about finding someone who would be comfortable about handling and caring for them. Skyler has done that with flying colors and we have always come home to 5 happy pets. We have another trip booked with her already and with all the stress that goes along with traveling, we have a little less knowing that our animals will be well taken care of.
Kaitlyn dogsat for us, while we were out of town and did an amazing job taking care of our three dogs while away. She sent us pictures every day, was great at communicating/updating us on how they were all doing and gave them lots of love! Would definitely recommend as a dog sitter, and will be reaching out again in the future!
Chelsea is a great caretaker for our dog. She helped us while we were away to be with family and followed all the special instructions we have for our older dog. She even asked about our plants, she is a really sweet person and will be really sweet to your pets as well!
Went above and beyond watching our two dogs. We had a very last minute trip planned the day before we left and Kayden was very professional and quick to respond. Our two dogs were super happy and clearly very comfortable and well taken care of when we got home. We got lots of pictures and videos throughout our trip and got regular updates on how the dogs were doing. He followed all instructions and even our smaller dog who can be shy and afraid of new people became his shadow and played with him the whole time we were gone. Kayden even left our house cleaner than when he arrived. He is clearly very compassionate and caring towards animals and we will definitely hire him again for our next trip!
Janesia was an excellent pet and house sitter! She was our first experience using Rover after our pet sitter unexpectedly cancelled. Janesia had great communication, was friendly and the dogs loved her. She kept in contact while we were out of town and left the house tidy when we returned. We absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter and she will be our go-to for 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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Walnut Grove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Walnut Grove on Rover is $52.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,485 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.
