“This was our second time booking with Evelyn. All three our pets were well loved and taken care of while we were away. I especially loved getting photos each day!”
“Ella was quick to respond when inquiring about booking, and I appreciated that she made sure our pups were a good fit for her services prior to booking. We felt comfortable with her staying in our home and caring for our two big dogs, who each have some unique behavioral quirks. She left the space tidy and dogs were content and happy upon our return!”
“Cordelia did a great job! She went above and beyond with bringing our dogs on multiple walk and keeping us updated with pictures, videos, and messages. We will definitely rebook when when need a house sitter again!”
About: I have helped dog sit and take care of many different kinds of dogs with my friends and I am looking into getting into it myself! I am currently in school from 9:30 to 12:30 and working about 20 hrs a week, so I have plenty of time to check up on your pets throughout the day! While I live in an apartment as a student and am unable to provide care in my own home, I'm willing to follow any directions provided to me to insure the safety and happiness of your pets.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats since I was in high school. House sitting and pet sitting is one of my favorite ways to make money. I love animals, I also enjoy going for a walk so having a dog with me makes me feel more relaxed & comfortable. Cats I just enjoy being around and seeing the crazy little behavior. Overall animals mean so much too me & I would be so grateful to be able to take care of your babies ❤️ I am currently a college student at the University of Nebraska Lincoln. I have Fridays off so I’ll be able to spend a lot of the day with the animals. Monday through Thursday I have classes however I only have two classes on Monday and Wednesday and three classes on Thursday so I’ll be able to check on the animals throughout the day and also be there at night with them. when I decide to housesit or animal sit for a client. The first thing I asked them to do is to write everything down that I need to do on a day-to-day basis on a piece of paper and leave it on the kitchen table so I make sure I’m doing everything I can for the animals. I can take the animals on walks if that’s what they enjoy if the animals tend to be more elderly, I can just spend time with them make sure they’re getting their meds whatever you guys have a preference of me doing I can do it to the best of my ability.
About: Grew up with pets of all types and sizes my whole life. I love animals and think it’s important that they live a happy and healthy life. I have a very flexible job and work from home with occasional meetings I leave for. I have plenty of time to take care of pets. I have a fenced back yard with plenty of room to run and play. I have toys and time to give them great care. I am very understanding and accommodating of your pets specific needs.
“Devlin was fantastic with my dogs. Both my dogs are a little high maintenece as one is elderly and the other has high anxiety. The dogs responded well to him and he spent a lot of time with them, which is key for our doggies. We’ve already rebooked him for our next trip!!”
About: I have 8 1/2 years of grooming experience and have worked in a facility that had boarding and daycare! I helped in both departments many times of the almost 7 years I worked there. Not only do I have years of pet experience with working but I also have pets at home. I’ve loved animals my whole life! I’ve been blessed to have had experiences with animals in my life. Those experiences would include things from being able to work on my grandmothers farm in the summers to having my own pets while growing up. I work a full time job as a groomer but am free most Fridays and all Saturdays. As well as all day on Sundays. I’m open to anything after 5pm Mon-Thur. I have a 6 year old King Charles Cavalier Spaniel and Bengal. My king Charles name is Isabella and she is a registered ESA. She is crate and potty trained. She also graduated a manners training class. While she is fully trained, we spoil our little girl. She gets lots of love and cuddles as well as being able to be with me at work every day. While at work she gets to meet many dogs and many breeds every day.
“Ashlee was wonderful. She took care of our Willow and also our home. I would trust her to take care of my dog anytime. She is responsible and very caring for our furry friend. Thank you Ashlee.”
About: I have had dogs since I was very young. We had lab mixes while I was growing up who I fed, walked, and trained. I have my own GSD now that I have trained. I also share a shiba inu with my family. I am currently just modeling so my availability is pretty open. I typically have every weekend free and atleast 5 hours of every week day free. I am sure to walk all dogs I care for as long as it is safe for them to be walked. I will not walk a dog on hot cement for their sake. I feed my own dog 2x a day but can change that schedule for any dog I care for.
About: I have always loved animals since playing with barn cats at my grandparents’ farm and raising rabbits at my childhood home to having my own cats and dogs. My last cat lived to be 19. I have occasionally fostered through the humane society in the last 2 years. I have one “foster fail” dog I adopted about 2 years ago who would love a friend to play with in our fenced backyard. I am especially available afternoons and evenings Monday-Friday and most weekends currently. I’m willing to work with your pet’s schedule within reason. I have a fenced yard and my dog is kennel trained when need be. I have a baby gate and can separate animals between floors if needed as well. Tend to feed separately and ease into introductions.
About: I love being around animals! I got my first dog when I was 15 and trained him myself. Then I have dogs sat for countless families. I have cared for puppies to senior dogs and of all kinds. I work part time and go to college full time, but I have lots of time in my schedule for pups. I am avalible in the afternoons and on weekends I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have a yard and I love to go for walks and be outside with your dog! I can crate them if preferred or accommodate to many situations.
“Mallory exceeded our expectations! She was friendly, kind and so communicative during our 3 day weekend trip. We will definitely book her for our next trip!! We really can’t recommend her enough! Such a trusted and amazing individual with our home and our furry babies.”
About: When I was growing up babysit for my brothers bestfriend. I would have to walk the dogs and it got her energy out as well. :) I have 5 cats and I have to change their litter daily, feed them twice a day , give them love and attention. I will go to my grandmas and walk her dog for her. I treat them as I they are mine. I love animals no matter how big or small. And I follow the instructions from the orders of the times they want to feed them.
“Sophie was AMAZING! It was my dog’s first time without at least his dad or momma home and she did such a wonderful job with him! She gave me many updates and I could tell she was very good with him! I totally recommend her!!”
About: I have two wheaten terriers and know all that is involved when it comes to walks, food, play, etc. I’ve watched my neighbors’ dogs overnight, trained my own, and love meeting new ones as well! I currently am between classes, so I am quite open to your needs: weekends, early mornings, late nights, you name it! The more time with your pets the merrier. Making sure dogs are fed, walked, and played with is top priority—something that comes naturally to me. I occasionally wash dogs if they are considered to be too dirty.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Walton
Mia was professional, attentive, prompt, and communicative. We absolutely enjoyed having her watch our pups and stay in our home. She was responsible and really cared about our fur babies. We thoroughly enjoyed having her house sit and are looking forward to having her watch our dogs again.
Mia did a great job watching over our dog, cat and home. We were in a pinch to find a sitter and she was reliable and trustworthy! She left our home spotless and sent us a ton of photos with our pets. They really took to her and we could tell they felt comfortable and loved while we were away. I would definitely book Mia again for our next trip, we are so happy we found her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Walton is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $100 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Walton 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 Walton 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 Walton 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
