About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since my family got a dog when I was a kid. Since then I’ve cared for pets for friends and family. I am currently a grad student and I’m looking for part time work. My schedule is really flexible and can walk your dog at different times in the day. I live in apartment with one dog already so I’m used to going out and walking my dog often. I like to make sure the dog I’m with feels good and isn’t bored.
About: The personalized schedule I keep for pets I’m sitting will always be unique to their personality. I have adapted and taken dogs to the gym with me, runs on the beach, driven to hike trails and will always go above and beyond for our furry companions. I will absolutely read to your pets if they are used to having you speak to them constantly. (I love talking out loud to our furry friends) I’m pretty flexible on the weekends and during the week standard availability is 5p and on. I am available for morning drop ins as I make my schedule in my Corp. job. Yes I will absolutely also chat up your house plants too. I constantly send photo updates and will always answer a text within 5-10 minutes. I try to honor any established schedule your pets might have and try to enhance their activities to distract them from your absence whether that be from long days at work or even an out of town trip.
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on, daily experience raising and caring for my own dogs through every stage of their lives. Having managed everything from strict medication schedules to comforting aging pets, I am highly attentive to senior care and changing health needs. I know how to read canine body language, respect boundaries, and provide a low-stress, comforting environment. Your pup will get the exact same dedicated, intuitive care I give my own family. Pet care fits perfectly into my week because my school and part-time job hours are highly flexible. Even though my work shift schedule changes daily, my part-time hours mean I have an abundance of free time throughout the week. Because my days are mostly clear, I can easily adapt to and strictly follow your pet's specific feeding, walking, and care routines without any hassle. I provide pet care exclusively within the client’s home because I believe keeping pets in their own familiar environment is the best way to reduce separation anxiety. My approach is centered on strictly maintaining your pup's established daily routine. During my stay, I follow your exact feeding schedules, walk routes, and potty break intervals. I treat your home with the utmost respect—keeping everything secure, clean, and exactly as I found it. You will receive regular photo updates and transparent communication so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away.
About: I’ve cared for family and friends’ pets for years, loving them like my own. I’ve welcomed many animals into my life and even helped find safe, happy homes for those in need. “I provide reliable, loving care with daily photo updates and flexible scheduling. I’m active, patient, and experienced with energetic and senior dogs. Your dog will get safe walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I have plenty of time, patience, and love to give to your fur baby and the attention they deserve and need having a flexible job means I have more than enough time to make time I can care for your pet exactly how you prefer. As someone who had a pet , I understand how stressful it can be to trust someone with your baby — I’m very cautious and protective with my own pets, so yours will be treated the same way.
“Zakiya was wonderful. She helped our 6 month old pup through his first sit. She was very patient and compassionate with him. She was very detailed in her write up for his it and was very careful to maintain hi training. We very much appreciated her excellent care of our pup. We will definitely love to book Zakiya again”
“Karla was absolutely amazing with my dog, Honey! Honey adores her and it seemed like they had a blast together. Karla is very reliable and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She also took great care of the apartment.”
“Jami was amazing! She took great care of our dog Leo while we were away for a long weekend and took great care of our space too. She was super communicative and provided lots of updates and photos. Leo needed medicine during her stay and Jami was really helpful with that too. Highly recommend!!”
“Camryn was great! She was very communicative, checked in a few times a day and sent plenty of pictures. She left the house looking great and even vacuumed! We will definitely book her again!”
“Ana is a saint. She is so incredibly patient and soft with my skittish and distrusting dog Koda. She was also incredibly responsive and let me know how things were without being asked. I look forward to her sitting Koda in the future!”
About: I've been around cats and dogs my entire life, so being around animals has always felt natural to me. Although I'm new to professional pet sitting, I've had opportunities throughout my life to look after dogs for a few hours at a time. I enjoy spending time with animals, giving them attention, playing with them, and making sure they're comfortable and cared for. I'm excited to turn my lifelong love for animals into an opportunity to provide dependable, loving care for other people's pets. Although I don't currently have pets of my own, caring for animals is something I'd genuinely enjoy making part of my daily routine. I'd love the opportunity to spend time with cats and dogs, whether that means going on walks, playing, providing companionship, or making sure they're comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I'm prepared to plan my schedule around agreed-upon visits and care responsibilities so that each pet receives the time and attention it deserves. My priority is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. In a client's home, I'd follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, walking, playtime, and any specific routines or needs their pet may have. I'd keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime, use leashes and other safety equipment as instructed, and make sure doors and gates are secure. I believe communication and trust are essential, so I'd keep owners updated and let them know if I noticed anything unusual. Whether we're going for a walk, playing, or simply spending time together, I'd treat each pet with patience, kindness, and respect while being mindful of the owner's home and rules.
“Rachel was wonderful with Molly, she played and took her out to pee. Jahaja.. Molly was nervous at the bignning but at the end she didn't want her to go.. great nanny..I'll get her any time I come to California”
“Gassia was absolutely wonderful!!! She was so sweet and communicative, and sent TONS of updates and photos of our little munchkins!!! She was so patient with them as they took a couple days to warm up, but kept us in the loop and even left a couple of packs of new wet food to try since they’ve been a little picky as of late. Could not recommend her more! She was such a doll and we look forward to booking with her again soon. :)”
“Mia was lovely to work with and took excellent care of our girl! It helped a lot knowing she was in good hands. I got lots of updates on playtime and meals and walks, which was wonderful.”
“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with our Rachel! She was exceptional from start to finish—caring, responsible, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. She kept me updated, sent pictures, and treated my dog like one of her own. It was such a relief to know he was happy, safe, and well cared for while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and dependable dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Cory watched my boys at my home for over a week. She was so good to them and kept me updated all week. She also took very good care of my home. I highly recommend her for any and all services!”
“Hugo was amazing! We were able to book him super last minute and he was so great with Topsy - who seemed to absolutely love him. Hugo has really nice and calm energy that I think our fur child really loved. 10/10 would book again!!”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs, including senior dogs and rescue dogs who may need extra patience, structure, and reassurance. I’m calm, attentive, and very tuned in to each dog’s comfort level. I provide a safe home with a yard and will care for your dog like they are part of the family. I currently offer weekend care from Friday to Sunday, which allows me to be home and fully present with the dogs I sit. Pet care fits naturally into my weekend routine because I can provide consistent attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and a calm home environment throughout their stay. I care for dogs in my home only, where they have a safe, calm, and comfortable place to stay. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, potty breaks, and play, along with walks as needed, fresh water, feeding according to the owner’s instructions, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I do my best to keep each dog’s routine consistent so they feel secure and cared for.
About: With 10 years of experience as a dog owner and seven years of pet-sitting cats and dogs, I bring calm, patience, and genuine care to every pet I look after. I currently work as a nanny, which gives me open availability until noon and after 6:30pm. My schedule is flexible, especially when the family I work with travels. I prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication. In my home or a client’s home, I follow care instructions closely, maintain a clean environment, and ensure pets feel comfortable and secure.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Walnut Park
Audry stayed for two nights looking after our two cats! She was very communicative, attentive and just an overall great person! We loved having her stay and felt at ease that our cats were very well looked after. We will definitely be using her again and I can't recommend her enough for your pets!
I cannot recommend Anahis enough! I felt completely at ease knowing Molly was in such caring hands. She went above and beyond to ensure Molly felt comfortable, safe, and loved throughout her stay. The communication was perfect and I received regular updates and photos of Molly. Molly can be a bit nervous around new people, but she immediately felt calm with Anahis. She was relaxed, happy, and content. She truly treats each pet as if it were her own. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch your pet, I’d highly recommend Anahis. Thank you for taking care of Molly!
Moriah is AMAZING. We’ve been wanting to go on overnight trips but haven’t since one of our little guys has quite an involved medical routine. We have been so worried we wouldn’t find anyone that would be patient or communicative enough to learn his ways. Moriah turned that thought around *completely* and went above and beyond! Moriah was so attentive to our boys’ routine, asked the right questions, gave us the best updates with pics, and honestly the boys fell even more in love with their buddy! We’re so grateful to Moriah for helping our family, so in Moriah we Trust! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Walnut Park is $5 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $5 and $5 per night. 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.

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 Park 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 Park 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 Park 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.
