“J stayed with my two Bengals while I was out of town and did a great job caring for them. She followed medication instructions, cleaned up a couple of pee incidents (which is unfortunately part of life with my cats), and reached out whenever she had questions instead of making assumptions. It was obvious she genuinely liked my cats and paid attention to how they were doing. I appreciated that she noticed one of my cats allergies while I was away and texted to ask how she could help medicate if needed. I came home to two well-cared-for cats and would happily book with her again. ❤️”
“Jehiny was available pretty last minute and made me feel so safe and secure leaving my foster dog at home alone. She sent timely updates, shared pictures, and gave us some suggestions for some difficult situations we were having with the foster. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I can be with a dog all day and all night and not stop wanting to care for it's every need. If you don't want your pet spoiled, I'm not the right person for the job! Every dog deserves to be treated with respect and love. I treat every dog like it's my own. I put the dog's needs first and foremost. There's nothing to worry about with me taking care of your beloved pet. Home wise, I treat everyone's private property as just that, private, and respect other's belongings. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I enjoy being active, so regular walks and outdoor time fit well into my schedule. I make time each day for feeding, exercise, play, and giving pets the attention they need to feel comfortable and happy. I'm also organized and dependable, so I prioritize maintaining consistent routines and following any specific care instructions, whether that's administering medication, sticking to feeding schedules, or providing updates to pet parents. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I appreciate the companionship and trust that comes with it. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I carefully follow the owner's instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I also treat my client's home with the utmost respect by keeping it clean, securing doors and gates, and leaving everything as I found it. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and messages to give pet parents peace of mind. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while providing reliable, trustworthy service.

I would guarantee 100% of my attention to your pets. I understand the stress of making sure your pets are in good hands. I have experience with all different kinds of dogs, such as elderly dogs and specially-abled dogs, and dogs of all sizes and ages! I can provide care such as giving medication when needed as well as baths and combing whenever needed. It would be a pleasure to have your pets as a friend! :) I am currently a full time college student, now on summer vacation. I have plenty of time to provide and care of your pets. I can provide as many potty breaks, playtimes, and specialty care whenever needed! I strive to make sure you and your pets have the best experience possible!

“Daylin was a tremendous dog sitter for our beagles, Slate and Astoria. My wife and I were in Las Vegas for a long weekend, and she took incredible care of them the entire time. She sent regular photos and videos, kept us updated, and made sure they felt safe, comfortable, and well-loved. You can tell she genuinely enjoys spending quality time with the dogs she watches. We’d absolutely book with her again!”
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.
“Súper professional and accommodating. Needed a sitter last minute for Mother’s Day and Josh went above and beyond. Very good about communicating updates. Handled giving my dog Vida her pill. & just all around a kind and caring guy! Definitely will book with him again.”
“We had Don watch our 3 year old dog for 3 nights and 4 days. He was absolutely the perfect sitter. He arrived at 5:30AM so we could have our dog be with him while we headed to the airport to relieve any anxiety and stayed until 7:00PM so we could get back not too late with our dog being alone. Don was very kind, sweet, and attentive towards our dog. He asked for a detailed item list for his stay, he sent us a ton of photos and videos without us having to always ask, and reached out to help clean up sheets, vacuum, take the trash out before his stay ended. You can tell he has a passion for dogs and truly enjoys spending time with them. I would highly recommend Don if you are looking to enjoy your vacation or time away and want to feel like you can trust someone to make your dog happy. We look forward to hiring him again next time we are out of town. He will be our first choice in sitters moving forward.”
About: I love the companionship and love that fur babies give. I am guilty of spoiling my friends' dogs and cats with unconditional affection. Getting outside or popping in to make your dog or cat smile is good for the soul: Your fur baby’s and mine. Trips to the park, play dates, people watching are some of the activities I enjoy. I have been around dogs, cats, and birds all of my life. I know how meaningful they are to you and to families. I used to live in apartments that did not allow dogs, so I would walk friends' dogs or sit for them to fill that void. When I lived in Hollywood, I was the Go-To stay in Cat sitter while clients were on vacation. I recently cared for my former roommate and her son’s cat Lilly! I miss her! Your fur and feather babies will love me! I work 4 shifts out of the week. I generally work during the day, but occasionally one or two nights. My schedule varies on a weekly basis, but I am very flexible. I always show up on time. I love to have a few minutes of bonding time before I take a dog on a walk. When I work with cats, I let them come to me and become familiar with me on their terms. I always clean up after pets. I am diligent about that. Overall, I let all fur babies learn to trust me, and I will care for them.
About: I’ve loved dogs and cats since I was younger. I’m calm and patient with it comes to dogs even with their high energy! My partner has 2 dogs which I take on walks regularly and adore so much. I can’t wait to meet your cute pets! My schedule is open and flexible at the moment. I tutor elementary school kids throughout my day but I am able to squeeze in checking up on mornings and evenings! I will make sure to follow direct instructions from you and if i’m ever confused or unsure I will message or call you. I’m also respectful and self aware when it comes to other people and their homes!
“Lizette was fantastic. We were staying in Marina Del Rey for the weekend. She came to the hotel to watch over our two small dogs while we went to a concert. She was commutative and punctual and most of all very affectionate towards our little ones. Highly recommended.”
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.
About: I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs including senior dogs that needed medication administered, young, playful pups, and my own son, my baby Ace. I’m looking to work on rover part time so i’ll have more than enough time to attend to your pet daily if needed! I have a friendly pup if your fur baby needs company and will adapt and learn any new skills if your child requires something specific.
“This is the second time we’ve had Stella stay at our home with our dog and have been 100% happy with her stay! She’s very communicative and sends lots of pictures- I can see how much my dog likes her! And it somehow looks like nobody was even in the house when we return home. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had a passion for caring for animals since I was a child! I have volunteered at a veterinarian’s office and a wetland animal rehabilitation center, and was in an animal protection club in college. I love animals, and treat them as my own family. I am currently a college student, so I will have a set schedule always! I will be free most weekends, and some week days depending on classes. I will be free most nights, and am willing to work on homework while watching your fur-babies. I have one cat in my home, and I keep her safe by keeping dangerous items out of reach, and keeping her environment safe. I am aware that animals can get into things they shouldn’t, but it is all about the environment you put them in. I will keep a close watch on what your animal is doing, and what environment they are in.
About: Making your pets comfortable and stable while your away is my priority. My attention revolves around them even if its for 1 hour or 10. I like to understand them and have a bond with your pets. Incase of an emergency knowing cat or dog CPR is a staple. I've taken care about 3 stray litter cats and attended to them with all there need with research or buying necessary things for them to live. I work full time during my week (9-5). My weekends are open to any pet sitting available. Along with my own dogs at home we have a set schedule we stick to everyday. With taking care of pets at home I'm always observant of everything around me. What this mean is looking out for sharp or off putting objects on the ground that can be hazardous to your pet. Another thing is keeping an area clean from with open spaces for your pet to roam free.
“Carley is the sweetest! She went above and beyond with my pup during a house sit, taking her for fun hikes and gave her lots of care and attention. My girl seemed absolutely stoked to hang out with her! I never usually leave her on her own like this, but I felt so rest assured with her. Thanks Carley!”
“Lauren was amazing with our dogs and cat. She made sure they were fed, had fresh water, were medicated and most importantly, that they were loved. I really appreciated how communicative she was during her stay. She went pictures and updates often. I will absolutely book Lauren again in the future and have already recommended her to neighbors.”

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 for House Sitting in Walnut Park on Rover is $4.58 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 14,922 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Walnut Park. 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 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 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 Park. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
