“I’m a so happy we chose Ivy. She went over all our pet instructions and loved my fur babies . Ivy sent daily pictures and responded within minutes to any questions or concerns.. She went above and beyond taking care of my house in the process. I trust Ivy and look forward to another wonderful experience choosing Ivy. Thank you so much Ivy”
“Victoria was extremely attentive, communicative and wonderful. She left my house neat and tidy and took incredible care of my dog. I truly could not recommend her more.”
“If possible I will use Allen again! This is the first time I've left my dogs with a stranger and it was a great experience for them and me. Allen sent videos and pictures every day. We were gone for a week and when we returned he'd washed the sheets and vacuumed the house. It was a joy to return home!”
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.
“Lisha took great care of the pups! She was great with both of them and was attentive to each of their unique needs. I would definitely book her again. Thank you!”
“Sydney was great with our 2 dogs. She sent us lots of pictures and kept us well informed. The house was in perfect shape as well. Already have her booked for our next trip.”
“Elizabeth was amazing!! She was extremely thorough, and was giving constant updates and pictures while we were out. She went above and beyond to make sure Max was loved and cared for. I had no doubts that Max and our home were in great care, and that kind of feeling is priceless.”
“Jessica did an amazing job caring for our dogs! She was very communicative and sent a ton of pictures. She also took our dog to the groomer which was great. We would definitely hire her again!”
About: I've cared for my own dog for several years and have also helped take care of family members' dogs. Through this experience, I've learned how to feed, walk, play with, and provide attention to pets. I'm responsible, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs patience, care, and consistency, which I am happy to provide! I have very open availability and can make time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their regular routine and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you're away. I am reliable, communicative, and happy to provide for all your needs! I care for every pet as if they were my own. Having experience caring for my own dog and family dogs, I understand the importance of following feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided by owners. I prioritize safety by keeping pets supervised, ensuring gates and doors are secure. I am confident in my ability to provide a calm, comfortable environment where pets can feel safe and loved.
About: I originally grew up taking care of rabbits,guinea pigs, and chinchillas, which included grooming / shaving/ nail clippings and baths. I even litter trained them myself. I learned at a young age how to be gentle with all types of small animals and the importance of a clean environment. I am also available for exotic animal drop in visit care services (rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas). In my later years I fell in love with dogs and cats. I rescued all of my cats from trees and crawl spaces and learned how to cut their nails as well. When I got my first schnauzer - I learned the joy of training, patience, and positive reinforcement. My favorite thing to do is walk and spend time with animals, so it only makes sense that I create a lifestyle conducive to the things that bring me joy. I love spoiling dogs with special treats and I always talk to them like I would a person because they are so smart and pick up so many words. Walking with dogs outside, playing, chasing squirrels, and the joy of fresh air is my favorite thing to do. No walk is ever long enough for me. I am highly interactive and assertive to animals needs and I know how important positive energy is for their wellness. A good environment allows them to thrive and trust the company they are with. I am currently working part time, and I have a somewhat flexible work schedule, so pet care is something I enjoy and do daily as I have a pup of my own. I share my pup part time with my ex partner, so I have many days available to help take care of other animals. If it was completely up to me I’d have a tiny farm. I love animals so much and walking dogs is my absolute favorite pastime. I live in a one bedroom apartment with my cat Penny. My pup visits me two days a week. My cat is very dog friendly because she is used to my pup visiting twice a week. Fresh water, teeth brushing, home cooked meals/kibble are all things I do and I have stairs for smaller dogs to come on my couch. No areas in my home are off limits to pets.
“Sami has always been incredible. During her stay my teddy was being a bit of a pain. But she was patient, caring and empathetic to his needs. She is a 5 star star for sure.”
“Jasmine is a true gem! This was the fourth time she has taken care of our dogs for walks , and we completely trusted her for a weekend with sleep over both nights . She guided us with the whole process which we were new about it. She suggested first a few walks to get the animals used to her. She watched them from Friday to Sunday, took them on three walks a day, and kept us updated throughout the weekend with photos and messages. She even sent us an update at 7 a.m. when our cat, Osi, woke up for breakfast, which really showed how attentive she is! Also one of my puppies has anxiety separation and is hard to warm up to people. In less than a day I could see on pics how happy and safe my dogs was feeling with her. She knew was our first time leaving our pets at night in our home. She is reliable, caring, sweet and our pets are always happy and comfortable with her. Her prices are also very reasonable, and the level of care she provides is outstanding. You can tell that being a pet sitter comes from nurturing and passion to animals.We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
“Gabby was great! She followed all of our instructions, sent us pictures and updates throughout the day, and went above and beyond making our dogs feel comfortable and loved while we were away. She played with our dogs favorite toys and relaxed with them throughout her stay. She let us know if she left the house and when she would be back. She kept the house clean, which was nice to come back to. This was our first time using Gabby but not the last. We will definitely be using her again! Thank you, Gabby!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Walteria
Adam and Layla took great care of our 2 dogs. One is a senior w/ health conditions (needs meds) and the other is a punky, energetic youngster. The sitters asked smart questions if something wasn't clear. The dog's area and the home were clean when I returned. Trustworthy, responsible sitter. Nice all around.
If I could give JoAnne more than 5 stars, I would. We hired her to stay with our Great Dane, Gandalf, for three days while we were camping. He had just had surgery, so this wasn’t a typical pet-sitting job. She stayed with him around the clock, administered all of his medications, monitored his recovery, and gave us complete peace of mind. JoAnne kept us updated throughout every day with photos, videos, and thoughtful messages, so we always knew exactly how Gandalf was doing. It was so clear how deeply she understands animals. She has an incredible intuition, endless patience, and a genuine love for the pets she cares for. What completely blew us away was everything she did beyond caring for Gandalf. She unexpectedly cleaned our home, folded our laundry, and even washed all of our bedding so we came home after traveling to fresh, clean sheets. It was such an incredibly thoughtful gesture and something we never expected. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and an immaculate house honestly felt unreal. JoAnne is the real deal. She’s one of those rare people who genuinely loves both animals and people, and it shows in everything she does. We trust her completely and won’t hesitate to book her again. She is an absolute gem, and anyone would be incredibly lucky to have her care for their pets.
Absolutely perfect. Jihae watched our three dogs while staying at our house for several nights while we were away. As basically a complete stranger, she went above and beyond what we asked of her, was super communicative, and was overall just perfect. I highly highly recommend.
Grace was absolutely amazing. As a first time rover user, she took away all the stress and worry I had leaving my boy alone for the first time. She was communicative, patient, sent daily updates and pictures, and overall was very kind and respectful of our space. We will be sure to use her again.
Sophie is the best! She is very responsive, sends us updates, and a very nice person! Our dog Theo loves her and she cared for him so well. I was nervous booking a sitter because it’s our first time to ever leave our puppy for a long time and she definitely made us feel at ease that she is a reliable and nice person. We will definitely book her again. I highly recommend her! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jack was beyond wonderful with our very sassy yet loving Cavapoo, Coconut. We were a bit weary about this process and weren’t sure what to expect but meeting Jack for the first time along with how he took care of our precious Coconut quickly dissolved any of those apprehensions. He was so timely, attentive, detail-oriented and loving towards Coconut.He demonstrates good judgment and is so kind and considerate. We just really appreciated him. Thank you so much, Jack. We are so grateful to you!!
You won’t regret it if you hire Allen. He is outstanding! Allen easily managed our furry beast. Chloe is a Chinese slaughterhouse rescue and has some serious trust issues but Allen quickly won her over and was giving her belly rubs in no time. He also took great care of our home, leaving it better than he found it! We are so pleased with Allen and will definitely hire him again!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Walteria
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Walteria on Rover is $80 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 14,393 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.

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.
