About: Hi, I’m Fibie! I’m a 22-year-old nursing student who would love the opportunity to care for your pets like they’re my own. I have two dogs of my own—a 6-year-old terrier mix who is my best friend and loves to cuddle, and a playful 7-month-old American Bully who keeps me on my toes! I’ve grown up around pets my whole life and have experience caring for the pets of family and friends. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and my goal is to make pet care one less thing for you to worry about. Whether you’re busy, traveling, or simply need an extra hand, I’m here to provide your pets with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care. I can’t wait to meet your pets, get to know their personalities, and make some new furry friends! I am a nursing student with a flexible schedule, offering reliable, loving pet care throughout the week and weekends, including walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and supervised at all times. My two dogs get regular walks and outdoor time in our secure, turf-covered backyard. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine, including crate training if needed, or allow them to roam while I keep a close eye on them.

About: I am working a part time job right now so your pet will be my priority. I have grown up and taken care of pets (mostly dogs) my entire life. I have been dog sitting for friends and family since I was in middle school. I love animals and love being around them whether it is at a park, laying around the house or going on walks Im currently working part time. I have plenty of time for walks and to hang out with your pets. No need to worry about schedules as well as I am free to follow any schedule your pet needs I can spend time with your dog at a park or just hanging around the house.

About: My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved & cared for. I also want you to feel at total ease if you need to leave them and allow me to care for them. I know what it’s like to want the best for your pet. I’m a 4th grade teacher starting my second year teaching! My availabilities are generally weekends throughout the day and weekdays after 4/4:30. Pet care is an important part of my routine with my 12 year old Maltipoo. We go on night walks, quick morning strolls & if I’m ever off for the day, we love to go on fun, adventurous car rides. My dog, Pogo, always stays with one of my parents if I’m at work or away. Due to all of our schedules, he is never alone, so he is taken to the bathroom regularly. I like to keep him active & engage with him, allowing him to have the fullest enjoyment. That said, I carry the same actions when pet sitting. They receive full attention from me, because I know how crucial it is for pets to feel loved, especially when their pet parent is away.

Jack was amazing! This was my first time using this service and I was a bit nervous but he made me feel at ease when we met. He kept my pup happy and healthy and kept me updated with pictures and texts about how she was doing, when he was there, when he was leaving and just general updates. 10/10 would use Jack again for house sitting. Thank you!

About: Hi! I’m Alexis, a lifelong animal lover who knows how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pets. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to tailor my care to each pet’s individual personality, age, routine, and comfort level. I’m comfortable caring for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors who may need a little extra patience and attention. For puppies, I’m happy to keep up with frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, enrichment, and the routines and training you’re already working on at home. For older dogs, I’m comfortable adjusting activity levels, providing a little extra TLC, and following more detailed care routines. I’m also comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, and keeping your pet company while you’re away. I can follow detailed care instructions and medication schedules, including administering routine oral and topical medications as directed by pet parents. My healthcare background has made me especially attentive to routines, instructions, and changes in behavior or well-being. I understand that some dogs want to be your instant best friend, while others need a little extra patience and time to warm up — I’m happy to meet them wherever they are. I take pet care seriously and will always treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I’m also happy to provide plenty of photos and updates, so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. Whether you need walks, drop-in visits, medication support, puppy care, senior care, or simply someone to keep your dog company while you’re away, I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! 🐾 I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and companionship on both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s established routine, including specific feeding times, walks, medications, or other daily needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions and take the time to learn your pet’s normal routine, personality, and needs. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding and medication schedules, including administering routine oral and topical medications as directed. I’ll provide attentive, loving care, keep your pet’s environment clean and secure, and send plenty of photos and updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.

Ivy took a good care of our dogs for 9 days including administering insulin shots to one of our senior dogs. All of our 3 dogs warmed up to Ivy right away because of her calm demeanor, and Abi, the young GSD, even got zoomies while we were away which tells us she was very comfortable with Ivy. Ivy is also a great communicator, flexible, and always punctual. Thank you Ivy!

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember; I’ve had several of all sizes throughout my life, and they were like siblings to me. I love dogs of all kinds; wherever I go, they seek me out, greet me, and let me pet them. I think that’s a great sign that I connect with them. I am a freelance videographer and video editor. I set my own schedule, so at any moment I can pause my editing work to go walk dogs or look after my son's cat when he travels. Yes, often. I take two dogs for a walk every day; I've been doing it for years, and babysitting my son's cat when he travels.

About: I have had dogs in my family ever since I could remember. As an adult, I have had my own dogs for the last five years - Star and Popsicle are my world! I am comfortable walking two dogs at a time, administering medicines, and if there is anything else your pet may need, I have probably handled it myself before. I have cared for other people's pets on and off for years as well and have handled many situations with ease. I currently have a very flexible, open schedule that can accommodate any specific walk times or potty breaks. I can assist any time of day, any day of the week. Hello! Trusting me with your beloved pet means that they will be taken care of with all the love and attention that I give my own two dogs. I am patient, attentive, and kind in my care, and I genuinely love being around any pets! From feeding to enriching walks, I want to make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you are away.

About: I specialize in older dogs giving them a safe, laid back environment to keep them comfortable with their stay. I do not have children and my dog Eli is also a senior and very relaxed. I have experience in giving medications in pill form or injection. I understand that many seniors have special diets that need to be given at specific times and portion control is needed. I have a flexible schedule to help tend to your pets needs on their time. I know where all the itches are and will treat them as my own. I have a secured fenced in yard for your pup to play and go potty. I can also give daily walks if needed around my neighborhood.

Sydney was absolutely incredible. She watched our dog, Cody, over Thanksgiving and we felt completely at ease with her staying in our home. She’s responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely knows what she’s doing with dogs. Her dog Riley stayed with Cody and the two of them became best friends—walking together, playing together, even napping side by side. Sydney handled their introduction perfectly and brought a doggie gate to make sure they were safely separated at first. Everything she did was thoughtful and professional. Cody is a German Shepherd/Pit Bull mix and Riley is a Golden Retriever, and they got along beautifully thanks to Sydney’s calm, experienced approach. We’re so grateful for her care and will 100% use her again in the future. Highly, highly recommend Sydney!

I love how Julianna paid attention to detail. She wanted to make sure that she knew our little guys: from treats and routine down to the way they like to play ball. I never worried a minute while I was out of town because she had everything under control. It was such a comfort knowing that our guys didn’t have to go stay somewhere else, but could stay in their own routine at home. Julianna is very friendly, trustworthy and dependable.

About: I’m an attentive and detail-oriented pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and a variety of other pets. I grew up with dogs and have extensive experience with overnight stays, ranging from weekend trips to 1–2 week vacations. I take each pet’s routine seriously and make sure their individual care instructions are followed closely - from feeding schedules and medications to exercise, playtime, and their usual routines. I also send regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing how your pet is doing while you’re away. I’m a powerlifter and active person, so I’m comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs and providing plenty of exercise. I’m happy to accommodate both short and long walks, playtime, and whatever level of activity is appropriate for your pet. I’m detail-oriented, adaptable, and take pride in providing dependable care that fits each pet’s individual needs. My weekday schedule is primarily in-office, so I’m best suited for overnight stays, mornings and evenings, and I’m fully flexible on weekends. My goal is simple: for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for—and for you to have peace of mind while you’re away. I work in an office Monday through Friday, so I’m most flexible on weekends. For pets who are comfortable being home during the workday, I’m available for morning and evening care, overnight stays, and throughout the weekend. I can also accommodate a midday drop-in during my lunch hour for pets who need an extra break or more frequent attention. I’m careful to create a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. I’m happy to care for pets in my home or their home, depending on the service and what works best for them. Before each stay, I like to go over their routine, care instructions, medications, exercise needs, and your expectations so we’re on the same page. I follow instructions closely and treat your home and belongings with the same care I would my own.

We couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Jasmine! She watched our dog and our home for a full six days, and she was absolute perfection. From day one, she was so gentle and wonderful with our 3 yr old corgi, he loved her right away. Jasmine is incredibly thorough, sending detailed updates with photos at every single mealtime and walk, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. When we came back, not only was our dog happy and well cared for, but our house was left in pristine condition. She is super responsible, and we would trust her to watch and walk our dog anytime. In fact, she was so fantastic that we've already had neighbors asking for her referral! She is local to the Redondo Beach area, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch, reliable pet care. Her photos skills are also great. I posted many pictures she sent of our dog Theo to his Instagram and his fans love them!

Allen was excellent! From the time we met at the initial meet & greet, he went out of his way to connect with my fur baby. He plopped down on the floor w/her, let her sniff him, and immediately showed her love and attention. During the visit, he sent pictures and kept me updated on a regular basis. When I returned home, my dog was happy, well cared for, and my house was spotless! I would recommend him 100% if you need a dog and house sitter!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Walteria

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Walteria on Rover is $64.2 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 14,516 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Walteria. 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 Walteria 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 Walteria 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 Walteria 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 Walteria. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

  • 96% 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.
