“JoAnne is wonderful and did a great job with my dog! She gave lots of updates and pictures and always responds super quick. I’d highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Carolyn totally took care of my special needs 15 year old honey bunny Sonny. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Sonny is a bit high maintenance with his health and Carolyn met all his needs. She was active in communicating and let me have some peace of mind while I was away for work. House and pup were great when I got back. Sonny and I thank you Carolyn and we are so greatful.”
“Erik was perfect with Odin. Followed all of my instructions, walked him, played with him, and worked on training. He made sure Odin was safe and well taken care of!”
“Julianna is always on time and very yuck to respond to texts. She plays non stop with our active dog and snuggles the less active dog. We are super thankful for her and her patience with the Aussie. Will continue to request Julianna any time she’s available. Our dogs just adore her.”
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.
“Mariel was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog and home while we were away, sending plenty of pictures and thoughtful updates that kept us totally at ease. Our pup looked so happy and well loved in every photo, and we came home to a spotless house. We couldn’t recommend Mariel more highly, she’s reliable, kind, and clearly adores animals!”
About: My dog Toby was my number 1 teacher in dog care! My family rescued him when I was around 10 and he was with us till he passed at 16 when I was 24. Toby taught me how to take care of a young energetic pup who loves to rip his squeaky toys to an old senior dog who needs extra patients and special care. He gave me the confidence and knowledge to take care of any future pups I get and to take care of your as well! I'm currently working part-time as a barista 5 days a week and most of my shifts are only 5 hours long! This gives me plenty of time to focus on your pets the rest of the day and give them my all around care and attention. I have a fenced yard and a house with lots of space for any size size pup to run around. My neighborhood is quiet so your pups will be safe from any loud sounds outside.
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.
“Judy is incredible - we are so grateful to have found her and leave our two dogs in her care over the holidays while we traveled. She is reliable, very communicative, and cares deeply for animals and their individual personalities. We couldn't have asked for anyone more qualified and invested in improving certain behaviors (that we discussed and agreed needed attention) and we are so happy to come home to happy, better behaved pups! We have always had wonderful experiences with our previous dogsitters, but Judy definitely goes above and beyond. We will absolutely continue working with Judy in the future!”
“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!”
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.
“Scarlett was fantastic. Showed up on time and took care of both of our dogs over our wedding weekend. She used to be a vet tech, so very knowledgeable about dogs, and did amazing with both dogs. We have a blue Heeler and a golden doodle, so very different dogs. Super respectful of our place, would for sure hire her again.”
“Previous canine members of my wife's and my family have had very good experiences boarding with Rover caregivers, but my wife and I realized that Annie, whom we adopted in July, would not be happy in a space other than her own, so, we searched Rover for a house-sitter to care for Annie while we traveled overnight to celebrate Thanksgiving with out-of-town family. My wife and I are very grateful that we were able through Rover to find Quiana and arrange for her to be with Annie while we were away. Our favorable impression of Quiana, created by her prompt response to our initial inquiry, was reinforced and amplified by every subsequent contact with her. Quiana's love of dogs, as well as her knowledge about them and her talents in communicating with them and handling them, were evident during our "meet and greet". She kept us informed about Annie during our absence by sending messages, photos, and videos; the latter indicated to us that Annie was enjoying Quiana's stay thoroughly and not missing us at all! When we returned home we found that Quiana had not only carried out our instructions for her but had 'gone above and beyond' them, as well. The experience overall was exceptional. My wife and I hope that Quiana will be available whenever we need someone to care for Annie in the future, and we recommend Quiana enthusiastically to others who need a house-sitter to care for their dogs.”
About: Hiii! I’m Marlena. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so they’ve always been a huge part of my life. Over the years, I’ve grown such a strong love for taking care of animals. I have experience with both larger dogs and really small dogs, and I’m good at picking up on their body language and little signs so I can understand what they need. I’ll always make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and well taken care of while they’re with me! I’m currently offering part-time walks while starting my senior year of high school. I’m available after 3 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends, allowing me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority during walks. I pay close attention to my surroundings, keep pets securely leashed, avoid unsafe areas, and make sure each walk is comfortable, safe, and enjoyable for your dog.
“We booked Chieko last minute again and she always accommodates. We love that Chieko stays with our pup for the duration of the booking. Our pup gets very anxious when left alone. Thank you Chieko!”
“Andrew was an outstanding house and pet sitter . She sent me updated pics and let me know what the dog and birds were doing. She was very professional and left my house in great shape. Andrea is also very flexible. I will definitely use her services again.”
“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.”
“Julia did such a great job taking care of our Lola! This was our first time using rover so we had been nervous to have someone new watching our dog, but Julia was really accommodating with us and having her meet Lola beforehand was so helpful and made us feel much more comfortable. Julia sent us lots of photos and gave updates each day that made us feel at ease that Lola was doing great. Highly recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Walteria
We just booked with Brooke, who happened to be our very first pet sitter we’ve ever hired - and it’s been 10 years with our pup 😂😅 we had an incredible experience with Brooke! She helped keep our senior dog company & watched our home while we left town on a VERY last minute trip. I booked her within 24 hours of leaving for the trip and she responded instantly and followed all the directions for our senior dog’s care, to a T. She kept our home clean & tidy, offered to do laundry?! And was a great house guest. We’re new to the area & don’t have friends or family close by… let alone someone we’d trust our senior dog with! Was so grateful to have found Brooke and no longer feel like we have nobody to turn to if an emergency arises again. Will definitely be rebooking with her again in the future!
Jasmine was wonderful watching my pups on my first longer out of town trip! I’m so grateful that she held things down at the house while I was across the country. She kept me updated with regular pictures and was attentive to detail. Will absolutely be re-booking asap
Ye Young did an amazing job housesitting our dog and cat! I felt like she gave them the best care possible. My dog is anxious and takes time to warm up, and I am thankful Ye Young was gentle and patient with her! She also kept us updated with photos and videos, which I really appreciated!
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!!
Katherine was fantastic. She was punctual and professional and she kept me up to date on the pups over the long weekend while I was out of town. She sent a number of photos and took excellent care of my two dogs. I would highly recommend Katherine, and I will certainly have her help me out again in the future.
Victoria was fantastic! She was so good at taking care of Aspen for us while we were away, keeping us up to date and taking good care of our home. We definitely hope to have her back to watch Aspen again soon (and Aspen hopes so too, she gave him lots of good snuggles)
Ji Hae took care of my dog while i was out of town and she did a wonderful job! My dog had a nice little staycation at home with extra walks and playtime. Always kept me updated with photos and what they were up to. Looks like they both had a good weekend. Thank you again!!
Lynzie was great. She kept us updated with cute photos and kept the house in great shape. She was also very responsive and responsible. She offered to go the extra mile with respect to things around the house. It was very helpful. We were gone for a while and she made everyting much easier. We would definitely use her again.
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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
