About: Detailed updates with photos & videos Lots of cuddles & kisses Experienced in owning & in pet care Hello! I’m Stefanie 🤍 your pets future favorite sitter & bestie. I’m currently looking for a job that I’ll be able to do at home & I think this would be perfect as I have a lot of free time, space & ready to give love, play times & attention for your cat or pup! I’m available mainly on weekdays! I have a small patio that I’m looking to hopefully fence it for dogs & cats soon but for now it would remain closed for the meantime to keep them safe at all times.
“Jehiny did a great job at watching our baby girl Boxer. She sent updates and pictures which made us really happy. Boxers are very active and she managed her well. She’s 7 months old and loves attention. Jehiny ensured to give us an update upon our arrival and you could tell our baby girl had a great time. She was wagging her tail and looked very comfortable.”
About: I am a very patient dog lover that thoroughly enjoys training pups. I have pets on my own but taking care of my 4 year old is my main experience. I am able to take care of your loved ones on weekends and week nights. Providing a safe space so you can enjoy your free time. I have a large backyard where your pet can roam and enjoy having them inside to keep them comfortable. My dog gets along well with others.
“Daylin did a wonderful job again. This was my second time booking with her, and she was just as amazing as the first. She sent me daily photos of my dog and kept me updated on everything that was going on, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She clearly cares about the pets she watches. On top of that, she left my apartment extremely clean, which I really appreciated. I can’t wait to book with her again. Highly recommend”
About: I currently have three family dogs. Hunter (the youngest but biggest baby), Rocky (the middle child), and Bella (oldest but most sophisticated). All of which require their own routine and specialities since two of them are on the older side. I also have my own pet, Peppa Pig (a guinea pig) who also requires her own little routine. As of right now, I am completely available to take care of your pets needs at any time! Monday-Sunday I available for home check ins and daily walks. I have a car, meaning I can cater to your pets needs at any time of day. Onboarding is currently not a service I offer, but I can ensure you reliability on my end to meet any of your needs.
“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. ❤️”
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.
“Don was very attentive with our senior dog! She has quite a few needs these days and Don was detail-oriented and followed all our instructions carefully. It made it much easier for us to enjoy our trip knowing that our dog was in good hands. He sent lots of updates and photos. We even think our pup was missing her new friend after we returned. :)”
About: I have 5 years of experience dog sitting in my client’s homes as well as my own home. My priority is always your pet’s comfort for a seamless experience! I am available for weekend care as well as overnight care with enough notice. I am available for at home stays, house visits, or walks. Every dog has a different need. Whether it’s more personal space or a need for attention, I am ready and equipped to provide the emotional support needed.
“We had Carley stay and take care of our senior cat for the second time. Just a short stay this time but she always does an amazing job and takes really good care of our old man. Thankful she is available and willing to take care of him which gives us a lot less stress when we have to travel.”
“Mahalia is the best sitter of all time. I have have 10+ through rover, and they all do fine, but Mahalia went above and beyond to ensure everything was great from day 1 to the end of my travels. My dog is selective, and she passed every test 10x. I will be using her on every trip she’s available for me!!”
“We had Zakiya house sit our newly adopted shelter dog for three days while we were gone on a weekend trip. She was INCREDIBLE. She followed our dog's medication schedule and sent us pictures of our sweet girl every few hours. She took detailed notes on our dog's activities with timestamps, and she left a general behavior report at the end. The house was in perfect condition when we got back. She is incredibly organized. We will be repeat clients!”
“Stella took care of my German Shepherd overnight stays for 2 weeks. She was responsible, responded to my texts, contacted me everyday with a text and photo and asked questions to make Maximus feel more comfortable and have more variety with me gone. She even cleaned my floors! My home was left as it was and I would highly recommend her.”
“Rose was great. We needed last minute dog sitting. She had quick and great communication throughout the day. Followed all instructions for our pup and even sent pics :) would recommend and use again :)”
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 grew up loving all kinds of animals. I help my family out when they leave to vacations. I recently lost my best friend of 11 years from cancer. I am very patient and will tend to your baby as my own. I do work from home so I have the availability to tend for your best friend. I am also flexible on weekends and open to work around your schedule :) I have a huge back yard and my house is fenced. Your pet will be safe at all times. Can’t wait for all the fun :)
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Walnut Park
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! :)

FAQs for House Sitting - Walnut Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Walnut Park on Rover is $4.58 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 15,211 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
