“The level of care that Charlotte provides is exceptional and thoughtful. I'm so thankful we were able to comfortably unplug during our time away knowing our fur babies we were in trusted hands.”
“I would love to sit here and gush about how wonderful Jen is but I am afraid too because everyone will see it and she might not be available when we need her again! Lol Jen is a terrific person, loves our dog Ella as if she were her own, and she was such a trustworthy house sitter. We were gone for an extended period of time and knowing she was here allowed us to just enjoy our trip and not worry once about our home and sweet dog Ella. She is amazing… I would not hesitate recommending her to anyone who needs a sitter for their fur baby.”
“We are so grateful for Emily’s willingness to house sit and take care of our pets over the Christmas holiday. We hate leaving our two dogs and cat, but knowing that Emily was here with them made it so much easier on us. Emily was super fun to work with and we will definitely ask her back in the future.”
“Ashlyn took wonderful care of our golden while we were away for a long weekend, and was great about sending us updates about how she was doing. We will definitely call Ashlyn again next time we need a sitter for our dog!”
“Kate was communicative and went above and beyond to make sure our boy wasn’t lonely or bored. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to having her watch our dog in the future!”

“Sara is truly a great sitter. She took very good care of my senior dog. I told her and he showed her all of the issues that he has and she handled them with great care which put me at ease. I'll definitely be using her again.”
“I am a first-time puppy owner and had to travel out of town unexpectedly for a funeral. I was understandably nervous and hesitant to leave Georgie since he's so young, but I know that keeping his environment consistent is extremely important right now. Then I found Annie on Rover.com. Annie was an absolute godsend who put me at ease immediately. She was extremely responsive and even sent me the most adorable pictures of my sweet boy. I am so appreciative of the stellar care that she provided and we hope to have her come and visit again soon! 10/10 would definitely recommend. Thank you, Annie!”
“Hannah was a fantastic sitter! This was our first time using Rover and the first time we left our dog in the care of someone else, but everything went very well. I had to attend a wedding and would be out of the house pretty much all day. Hannah even offered to show up a little ahead of when I needed her. She was very friendly and personable, and right off the bat, our dog was comfortable with her. When I came back late in the evening, it was clear that he enjoyed spending the day with Hannah. We were grateful for her help and will definitely be calling her again when we need a sitter!”
“Autumn is the best sitter we have ever used. She’s always our go to when we go out of town, and our fur babies love her (maybe more than us). There’s no one else that we’d trust with our crazies!”
About: I provide a combination of extensive hands-on experience, medical knowledge, and adaptability to each pet’s unique needs. I’ve worked at two veterinary clinics and a high-capacity luxury doggy daycare, giving me experience with dogs and medically complex pets of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I’m skilled in dog handling, socialization, managing multiple pets at once, administering medications and injections, and following prescribed care routines with precision. I also maintain household order and consistent routines, helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and supported. Beyond technical skills, I’m highly attentive and flexible—able to provide full-morning cuddles, active play sessions, or quick check-ins as needed. I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their well-being, happiness, and medical needs at all times. I wake up early, which gives me plenty of time for morning walks, feeding, and play before starting my workday. During the week, I’m available after 6 PM for walks, meals, cuddles, or any special needs. I’m comfortable giving medications, injections, or following prescribed routines for dogs and medically complex pets. Overnights fit easily into my schedule, from ~6:30/7 PM until 10:30 AM, depending on travel, giving pets consistent care and attention. On weekends, I offer flexible drop-ins to keep routines steady and tails wagging. I prioritize making every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for while integrating their needs seamlessly into my day. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, adapting to their personality, energy level, and routine. Some dogs need cuddles and attention all morning, while others are happy with short check-ins and play sessions throughout the day—I’m happy to provide either. I’m attentive, flexible, and focused on giving top-of-the-line care, whether in your home or mine, making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

FAQs for House Sitting - Alabaster
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Alabaster on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 577 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alabaster. 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 Alabaster 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 Alabaster 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 Alabaster 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.
