“Elaine was easy to communicate and very punctual. She sent photos of my dog on his walk and had no issues with my slightly tedious entry instructions to my house. I will definitely book her again!”
“Sammy did a great job taking care of a very shy cat, including getting Tibs to greet her after only a few days. She also watered both inside and outside plants for us. We will definitely hire her again.”

About: Hi, I’m Talena! I've always had a natural passion for dog handling and consider myself an amateur dog trainer. I use positive reinforcement techniques to keep dogs engaged, happy, and safe. Whether your little one needs a high-energy playtime or structured guidance, I'd love to provide the dedicated care they deserve! I work at a local credit union, which provides me with a highly stable and structured schedule. This flexibility allows me to easily commute to your home and dedicate plenty of quality time to caring for, feeding, and playing with your pets in their own comfortable environment. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strictly follow their established routines, secure all entry points, double-check leashes during walks, and keep harmful items completely out of reach to ensure a safe, stress-free environment.
“Ana is truly wonderful. She immediately presents with a calm friendly trustworthy manner. I sought her out for her medical training for help and suggestions with a cat that needs injections. It was hard to filter that out in search paarmeters but I really lucked out coming across Ana. She was very sweet with my dog and two cats and listened empathically to each of my pets needs and requirements. I look forward to working with her further on. I travel a lot and my pets needs are particular, I don't trust many with my pets, especially my dog. I feel confident my pets will be safe and well cared for with her.”
About: I have a Golden, 1 Cat (4stray cats), Fish and Chickens of my own, so caring for animals is a big part of my everyday life! I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines, and I treat every pet like family. I know how important it is to have someone reliable who genuinely cares about your animals! I’m a teacher working part-time this year, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available throughout the afternoons and evenings during the week, so I have plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I love having pet care as part of my routine and can be flexible depending on each pet’s schedule. I treat every pet like they’re my own! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while sticking to their normal routines. Whether it’s feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I pay attention to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I also respect my client’s home, keep everything clean, and provide updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while they’re away.
“Stacy did a great job taking care of our cat, Artemis. She provided many photos of him and we could tell he was being well taken care of - even when we came back, I think he missed her! We will definitely rebook if we need a cat sitter again.”
About: I’ve had pets of all kinds including dogs, cats, reptiles, small animals, birds, and invertebrates. I’ve also worked at a pet store for the last year and a half so I have some knowledge on freshwater fish as well as experience administering medications to animals. I’m currently only working part time, about 12-18 hours a week, so I have more than enough time to check on and play with your pets! I’m super flexible and want to do anything I can to make sure your pets are as comfortable and happy as they possibly can be while their humans aren’t home!
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and had pets of my own for as long as I can remember. I currently have a 8 month pup she’s super sweet and gets along great with other dogs . I work from home and set my own schedule so I have the ability to take pets on frequent walks and follow any eating schedules or medication distribution. I work from home so my schedule is very flexible, I have many opportunities to take breaks for walks or runs. Or even take them to the park I follow any special instructions that have been provided, other than that I just play with them, cuddle and feed them my neighborhood is safe
About: I’ve walked and cared for family and friends dogs. Also my two dogs are such a huge part of my life, I love spending time w them and all dogs. I generally only work about twenty four hours a week. That way I have plenty of time for dog walking and caring for my own dogs. I have a fenced yard that is almost an acre. I also have a 3 year old pup and a 5 year old for play time.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Walnut Grove
Having Linnea care for my Frodo is always wonderful. Her detailed notes provide great visualizations of how Frodo is doing and sounds pretty identical to how he is around his human family. That is a solid indicator of how well Linnea interacts with and Frodo responds to her.
Kylie was wonderful. It was a last minute booking due to a family emergency, and I wasn't sure how many days I'd need her. She accepted the booking and assured me any modifications to the number of days wouldn't be an issue. She was compassionate and flexible while I was going through one of the worst weeks of my life. I came home to relaxed, and happy kitties. She sent pictures with each drop-in visit, which I was able to share with my family. I experienced no concerns or felt any anxiety about being away from my cats. I completely lucked out with Kylie and I definitely recommend her services. I'm so grateful she was available.
Brittany took such good care our cats of Ethel and Max while we were away that we really couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Our cats need medication, and Brittany made sure they were comfortable and cared for and kept us at ease while we were away. I would highly recommend her :)
This is the second time we have used Mandi and I would use her again in a heartbeat. She is incredibly reliable and took amazing care of our cat. Additionally our cat needed pill medication twice a day and she was amazing with making sure our cat got his meds. Can’t recommend Mandi enough!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Walnut Grove is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 6,512 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Walnut Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Walnut Grove. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
