“Kaylee was great! This was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous, but Kaylee was able to watch my dog Leo on short notice and make me feel confident my boy was in good hands 😊. She came on time, gave me updates, and took excellent care of Leo! I would definitely book with her again. Thank you Kaylee!”
“Pilar was wonderful with my two difficult dogs. She sent me consistent, clear updates each day and was able to adapt to my dogs' issues without a problem. Would definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“Alyssa is so so so special!! She took care of my pups while I was traveling for work and it was a great experience for me and for them! She communicates very well and kept me updated about them, took great care of the house and when I came back, I could see how relax and happy my pups were, which means the world to me!”
About: I've taken care of animals my whole life, from wildlife rehabilitation to training adopted dogs and cats from the side of the road, I've seen it all. Let me know if you need any help pet sitting or walking! I work as a music teacher and performer, weekdays are often the best for me but let me know what you need and I'll see what I can do! We have 11 acres including four acre field, one dog, two cats, and a rescue mini pig that all love each other and love making friends.
“Lillian does great with our two larger dogs! She communicates well and sends photos throughout her visits. We are glad we have somebody we trust and the somebody the dogs like. Thank you Lillian!”
“Alexys was quick to respond and easy to work with. She took great care of my pets, one of whom is blind and has a lot of special needs. She sent me photos throughout the day and I could tell my two Frenchies loved her care and attention. Helpful, professional, trustworthy and caring. I had great peace of mind leaving my dogs with Alexys.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud dog mom myself, so I know just how much our pets mean to us. I have dogs of my own and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and little quirks. Whether your fur baby needs an overnight sitter, walks, playtime, meals, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I have two sweet doggies named Leo & Sparky who are 7 and 8 years old! I am a stay at home mom, so I’m very used to having a busy routine centered around caring for others. I also have dogs of my own, and taking care of animals fits naturally into my everyday life. I’m comfortable with routines, schedules, feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. Im a mom and I have dogs of my own, so I’m pretty used to taking care of everyone and keeping up with a routine 😂. When I’m watching someone else’s pets, I really just treat them like they’re my own. I’ll follow whatever routine they’re used to, make sure they’re fed and let out, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and of course lots of cuddles if they’re into that. I’ll also respect your home and leave things the way I found them. I know I’d be nervous leaving my own pets with someone, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re being loved and taken care of while you’re gone. 🐾❤️
About: I began my journey learning about responsible pet care and dog training when I was ten years old and enrolled in 4H with my puppy. Since that early age I have gained professional experience in vet clinics, pet stores, and as a professional dog jogger. I did extensive research on positive reinforcement training when I adopted my shy, border collie mix puppy in 2020 and am a strong believer in its ability to form strong bonds and trust with any pet. I currently have a remote job that gives me open flexibility. I can also make evening visits and overnights stays throughout the week. I can work from your home on my laptop when I am pet/house sitting, providing a lot of companionship for your best friend! I will care for the pets in your home, where they feel most comfortable. I am open to developing pet care in my home for doggy daycare. I have a large fenced yard and am located right next to Cedarock Rock. I walk our dogs there almost daily. Our young dog Hugo would love a dog to play with!
About: Hey hey! I love all animals but I'm partial to dogs. I have 2 of my own, both chihuahuas. They're 6 and 7 years old. I've had pets all my life. Large and small. I have quite a bit of experience in training and I love working on puppy manners. I have a soft spot for small dogs and pit bulls! I can't wait to meet your babies! I currently am home full time. I am a hobby bakery. I need to get moving around more so I'm available to meet up to 2-3 times per day every day and weekly if needed. I don't usually care for other people's pets in my home. I prefer to do drop in visits and sit in the home of the owners.
About: I absolutely adore all animals!! I have two dogs of my own and 5 in total at my family home, I am constantly around animals and helped raise them from puppies. I love walking and would be happy to play and exercise your pets or just love on them and give them cuddles whatever they need to be happy and healthy!! I’m happy to provide other house chores such as watering plants, and taking garbage out if need be😊 I have spare time in my day as I’m in school for animal management as a career. I will be actively learning more to care better for your animals! I am very open to meet and greets to make sure I’m a good fit for your family and I promise to treat your space with the upmost respect, I understand fully the amount of trust you need in someone to let them care for your baby and I am fully prepared to create a clean and happy environment for your pet to thrive. I hope to make you and your fur baby happy and comfortable:)
About: I am a retired grandmother, young at heart and in perfect health. I love all dogs. Nothing makes me happier that being with my babies. Please let me help give you peace of mind about your dogs when you have to be away from home. I will treat your dog like they are my own. They'll have plenty of playtime with my three - a 6- pound Maltese (Layla), a 9-pound poodle mix and a 14-pound sweet miniature Schnauzer (Maggie Mae). And there's plenty of belly rubs to go around. Your dog will be loved and pampered. So come on over, Rover.
About: I have been around animals my whole life. I have taken care of turtles, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, dogs and cats. I have dealt with new born dogs and elder care for dogs kittens and older cats. I have clipped nails and worked around many health concerns. I am excited to meet your animal(s) and give it the love it deserves. I am currently a student at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. My current schedule works out so that I am only taking classes in the morning from 8 - 11pm. This allows me all afternoon to spend with your pet. Most days I am free from class and only have a short meeting to attend. I am very flexible in my schedule. I have dog sat before for over a week and am able to build a good rapport with you dog making sure that they feel safe and loved where they are most comfortable.
“Martha was fantastic with Gus and Stella! Her daily updates were our favorite part of being away, and the photos made it so clear how much our pups loved her. She took wonderful care of our dogs and left our home absolutely immaculate. We can’t recommend her enough and can’t wait to book her again. Knowing our pups are in such good hands gives us complete peace of mind when we travel!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats, young and old, since 2019. I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s parented guinea pigs and parakeets as well. I pride myself on creating enriching experiences for the animals I sit through play and exercise. I’m a freelancer by trade and work for myself so I have open availability during both weekdays and weekends with limited notice needed to make myself available. I ask that pet owners provide any necessary supplies as I do not have them at home. I do live in a newer apartment complex with a fenced in playground for dogs to run around and lots of sidewalk space for walks.
“An amazing sitter. I would recommend her to pet sit more. For a beginner, she's sweet and understanding. And ask me questions about my dog and cat. Takes good pictures of my pets.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alamance
Sommer took exceptional care of our boys while we were away, and we couldn’t be happier! It was obvious as soon as we got home that they had been well cared for and genuinely enjoyed their time with her. She also went above and beyond by checking our mail, taking care of the sprinkler, and looking after the house, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone. Everything was exactly as we left it, and we truly appreciated her reliability, communication, and attention to detail. We sincerely hope she’ll be available the next time we travel because we’d love to become regular clients. We highly recommend Sommer to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to look after their pets and home!
Cameron stayed with our 3 pets (one cat two dogs) overnight and was perfect! She even came a few times before so our very spoiled and needy pets would get to know her better. She was gracious and kind to the animals and respectful of our home. I would highly recommend Cameron and will be using her again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Alamance is $31 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $41 per night.

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 Alamance 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 Alamance 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 Alamance 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.
