“Lauren was great with Cojo!! This was our first time leaving him with a sitter and she sent updates and pictures each day. That gave me a piece of mind while we were away for the weekend. I will definitely be calling her when we go out of town next tine! Highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m naturally attentive to animal body language and behavior, so I’m able to notice subtle changes in comfort, mood, energy, and boundaries. I currently live and work on a farm where I care for sheep, goats, chickens, and ducks, including providing hands-on care when animals need medical attention. This experience has taught me to stay calm, observant, and responsive, especially when an animal is stressed, uncomfortable, or behaving outside their normal routine. I understand that every animal has their own personality, relationships, and rhythm, and I follow your instructions and your pet’s established routines closely while meeting them where they’re at. I’m active, attentive, communicative, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s animals and home seriously. You can expect reliable communication, thoughtful care, and someone who pays attention to the little things. 🐾 My schedule is very flexible. I’m available most days—mornings, afternoons, and evenings—and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and your schedule. I’m reliable, communicative, and attentive to the details that matter to you and your pet. I follow your instructions closely, stay attentive to your pet’s needs and surroundings, and keep their environment calm, clean, and secure. My priority is helping your pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“First off, Adria is amazing! She is dependable/flexible and great with animals! She watched my dogs at my home and left everything tidy and my dogs loved her! Your dogs will be well cared for and your home will be also!”
“This was my first time using a pet sitter from a service and Michell made me feel very comfortable with the excellent care she gave my dog. She communicated well and gave my dog lots of attention. I will definitely be hiring her again in the future.”
“Leigh was amazing! Our Monty was so comfortable with her. She was very attentive and kept us updated throughout the day. It was great to see how relaxed and happy he was. We look forward to working with Leigh again and we highly recommend her services!”
“It seemed like our pup enjoyed her time with Maggie and got lots of cuddles in! Maggie left our apartment the same as how we left it and she even took out the trash. Thank you, Maggie!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 13 years old. Neighbors and friends trusted me to walk, play, and love on their pets while they were away. I have experience with puppies and kittens all the way to senior cats and dogs. I also have experience giving medication to dogs and cats. I work part time so I'm looking for something fulfilling and fun to fill the down time I do have! It is a true joy to be able to spend my day caring for other people's fur-babies. I can provide food and fresh water according to your exact schedule and needs. I can walk your dog or take them outside for potty breaks or just let out some energy outside. I can administer prescribed medication or treatments and log each dose. I can provide companionship and playtime and monitor their behavior, appetite, and mood to ensure your fur baby is feeling their best.
About: Growing up, I've always taken care of at least 3 pups/cats at any given time and have been raised to treat them like siblings rather than just animals. I've done almost everything in pet care you could think of including grooming, bathing, feeding, boarding, staying over for long hauls, etc. And if given the opportunity I would love to care for your pets as if they were my own, creating a good experience for them while also easing your mind during your travels or workdays. I am off 4 days out of the week so during those times I can be completely committed to your pet! The days I do work I am able to leave to take out pets multiple times during my shifts, so rest easy, they will not be alone for too long. I am a very mailable person and can bend/adjust to you and your pets needs; just let me know beforehand :) In my home, I do own cats and they are okay with dogs and cats. If I am needed to stay over at the client's house, I will follow all house rules set and will to not deter from your usual schedule with the pets lives (same walking times/routes, play times, etc.) Each watch/play date is different so whatever is most advantageous to the client's interest along with the pets comfortability and happiness is what I will do :)
About: I’ve had dogs in the past; loved them and walked them every day. I’ve trained puppies before on how to walk on a lease and more. I’ll be able to give them lots of attention in the morning and afternoons/evenings. I work a flex schedule, but the flexibility allows me to make my own schedule. On the weekends I’ll be with your pet full time. I have a fenced front and back yard. I will walk them and feed them on their schedule. I’ll probably love them too much to and take too many pictures.
About: I’ve had animals of all kinds in my family since I was born. I’ve taken care of animals and helped watch and care for loved ones pets over the years. I’m currently a SAHM and looking for extra ways of generating income while doing things I love and things that are fulfilling! Very flexible and eager to help. Ready to help where is needed. I have many good references. I am trustworthy, kind, careful, communicative, and an all around animal lover! I can’t wait to meet yours.
About: I am passionate about our animal friends and hope to add more pets to my daily life! I especially love pup time and am always excited to meet more friends. I’d love to help you and your family by offering quality, caring service to your pets. (: Currently I am offering sitting and drop-in visits seperately but due to health needs I am most able to provide exercise, energy expenditure and mental and physical enrichment either from your home or via outings. I do have a service dog that accompanies me most places and he loves making new friends, which can be a great option if yours also enjoy regular playdates. He is good with kids, cats and other dogs, if you have any questions feel free to ask! I am always open to making other arrangements based on your needs and prioritize finding accessible solutions and making accommodations to ensure your pets are able to recieve quality care. (: I am available in the morning through evening as well as overnight! I’d love to work around your schedule and to help make things as accessible as possible! Currently I am not offering boarding or daycare in my home. I am in a shared living space and unfortunately don’t have enough room for more furry friends at this time.

FAQs for House Sitting - Walton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 625 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Walton. 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 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.
