“Destiny was wonderful. She watched all 5 of our animals. 1 cat, 2 senior Chihuahuas and 2 puppies. That is not an easy task. Upon returning home I could tell they were all well taken care of. The house was clean (which isn't easy with 2 puppies) and she even left music in for them when she left. A kind soul that I will absolutely trust my animals with again.”
“All of our animals - 3 Labradors and two cats - love Kelsie!! She took good care of them while house sitting during our 10 day vacation. She was great about communicating and sending photos, and we never had to worry. As a bonus, we returned to an immaculate home, as if just cleaned by a professional service. We will for sure use her again.”
About: I am a lover of all dog breeds and I have many years of experience with both my own dogs and close friends/relatives. I particularly love large breeds, but the little guys really get me too! My current dog, Yeti, is a GSD/Husky. We have had him since he was 8 weeks old and he is almost 10 years old. I am currently only walking dogs, no job outside of that. After leaving my beloved coffee industry after 18 years, I find that walking/hiking dogs is what brings me daily joy. I will strictly abide by any requests or routines that need to be followed for your dogs wellbeing. You know your dog best and I want them to be happy and comfortable in my care.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience with all aspects of pet care. I’m reliable, active, and comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I love giving pets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve, and my flexible schedule allows me to spend plenty of quality time with your pets while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own! I have a very flexible schedule and am available anytime, making it easy for me to accommodate different pet care needs. I’m able to work around your schedule and provide consistent, reliable care when you need it. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for every dog in their home. I’ll respect your space and your pet’s routine, follow your care instructions closely, and make sure they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and believe every pet deserves the same care, attention, and affection they get at home. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime to older pets who need a gentler touch. I’m active and love going on walks, but I also know how important cuddles, patience, and routines are for pets to feel secure. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just keeping your furry friend company, I treat every pet as if they were my own I am a stay at home mom, so I can easily be with your pets all day! I am very active, so I love to take walks and do lots of potty breaks. We have a fenced yard so they can play outside. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I make sure the environment is clean, pet-friendly, and free from hazards. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, potty breaks, and playtime so pets feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow their instructions closely, from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes, to keep things as familiar as possible for their pet. I also send regular photo and text updates so pet parents have peace of mind knowing their furry loved one is happy and safe.
“Cameron was fantastic! She shared photos of our pets and took Otis out on a hike. Pets seemed very happy when we got home and the house is in perfect condition. We can tell she is thoughtful and attentive and we will definitely ask her to come back and help.”

“Sydney took great care of our high anxiety pup for us on very short notice. She is personable and her love of dogs shows. We will use her services again for any future trips, where we just can’t take our high spirited crazy man with us.”
“Jacqueline was so great with my pup and my mom's dog who was in town for the weekend. We needed her for long hours three days in a row and she was so excited each day to come back and hang out with them. We absolutely will be rebooking with Jacqueline again.”
About: Growing up I’ve always had dogs and cats in my home and I’ve loved every each one of them. I currently have 2 cats and 3 other in the house from my roommates. my youngest is a 5 month old orange tabby named boots and my oldest is a 8 year old calico named Nora. I’ve taken care of rotties, huge huskies, German shepherds, border collies, chihuahuas along with many many cats! I’m ready to give your pets the love and care that they need! ❤️ I am currently working a full time job, but I work 12 hour shifts 3 days a week so I have 4 days available a week to tend to your pets! I have very playful kittens in home and a huge area around me to take your dogs on plenty of walks! I also have multi dog parks around my apartment!
“Natalia was very conscientious and meticulous with my home and my dog. I was gone for a week and she took care of everything so I didn’t have to worry. My dog loves her and I’ll use her again! Thanks Natalia!”
About: I have years of experience volunteering with all types of dogs and cats. I started volunteering at a pit bull rescue center when I was 10. I have also volunteered at the Elk Grove animal shelter with cats, dogs, and bunnies. I have always loved animals and love caring for friends and family’s pets whenever they need me. I have a lot of availability on weekends. I am a full time student at the university of Oregon and also dedicate time to a couple nonprofit organizations. So during the week I am mostly free during evening/night. I am open to caring for animals in any way I can. Whether that be feeding, brushing, play time, enrichment, walks, etc. I will care for your pets as you care for them and ensure that they get as much love and care as possible.
About: I've been around pets of all kinds my whole life. Even a little gator at the local pet and pet supply shop. When it comes to dogs, cats, birds, and lizards, I love them all, most of the time they love me, some tolerate until they warm up to me. I love training animals of any kind, or at least trying. :) I have part time availability, but I'm usually able to adjust my schedule to fit in with any client needs. If you pick me, your pet will always take priority and I'll do my darndest to make them comfortable and happy around me. No pets in the home because I don't live alone. As for a clients home I've learned over the years to leave a place the same way I found it. I respect your home and belongings. I can't wait to meet your pet and you.
“Kaitlyn wall did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and three cats for an overnight. I would definitely recommend her. When she came to return the key, our dog went happily up to her and lay down at her feet—there’s the proof right there! Plus she sent pics of the animals and was a great communicator before, during, and after her stay.”
“I Couldn't have found anyone better to watch my German Shepard for 4 days and stay in my home! Matthew loved on my dog like his own from the start. Took him on hikes, walks all the things my German shepherd needed and sent me pictures/updates the whole time I was gone. My dog is really high energy and requires a lot of attention and detail. This was also my first time leaving my pup alone for this long, so I was kinda nervous. I knew when I met Matthew he was a perfect fit. He was extremely responsive every time I texted him and I was completely at ease the whole time I was gone. His pup, koda, also stayed over so my pup got to have a friend all weekend long!! It was a win win! They were having a blast together, i loved every single video and picture I got. Matthew also left our house completely spotless!. Highly recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a responsible dog sitter that knows what they are doing with all dogs.”
About: I love all critters and have an especially soft place in my heart for the elderly and/or disabled. I started by volunteering for neighbors friends on trips or working 12 hours shifts, just to stay busy, and it was awesome to see how my daily visits helped their overall health over time. Visiting with critters is always the highlight of my day. I move slowly, carefully, speak softly, so my energy is a great fit for older or anxious animals. I love them all, and every step. Greeting, walking, playing, chilling, pets and massage, special diets, and I have no problem helping administer medicine or any extra special care that is needed. It would be an honor to be of service for you and your fur baby :) I am flexible and available, single, no kids, and also a home care worker. I only work 4 hour shifts, so pet care can very easily fit in and around my other work schedule. When I meet you and your pet, you can show me the care routine, and I will confirm that I understand every step. What works well is if the supplies are visible and steps are also written down and left somewhere I can refer to if needed. I will take photos to either text or email you while I am at your home with an update for each visit.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Walterville
Once again, leaving our two boys in Tina's hands was worry-free! Our boys love her and she is great with them. Their food and medication schedules change all the time and Tina is on top of it. It was Ollie's birthday this trip and she even got him a present :) Tina is the best!
Tina is so great - she was happily willing to go the extra mile to make our anxious pup feel comfortable and safe. She did everything from food to medication to extra walks for our pup. She sent check in messages with photos and she not only left our home clean and tidy but did extra cleaning so we wouldn’t have to when we got in from our flight. I couldn’t have found a better fit for our family.🥰🥰
Elene was amazing! She was communicative with any questions she had for us and sent regular updates with pictures of our pets. She took great care of our pets which gave us that peace of mind knowing our pets would be well taken care of. I would absolutely request Elene's services again.

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 Walterville 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 Walterville 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 Walterville 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
