“Shannah was absolutely amazing . My pup got sick and she went above and beyond to make sure he was ok. Her communication was exceptional. Will definitely use her in the future”
“Kayla did a fantastic job! I’ve never hired a pet sitter before, so I was really nervous about how my animals would do. She was very reassuring and sent me pictures and updates every day. She did fantastically with the dogs, especially my really anxious one. I appreciated how attentive she was to my dogs’ health. She let me know quickly when one of them inevitably puked from stress and made sure they were both happy and tired before leaving for the day.”
“Pilar stayed in our house with our Yorkie while we were on vacation. Pilar was very professional and sent photos and updates each day. Unfortunately, our seven night booking with her had to be cut short by three days due to the effects that Pilar experienced from the smell coming from our pilot light of our gas log fireplace. She offered to do drop-in visits for the remaining three days, but I was able to find an alternative for Bella‘s care. I appreciated the fact that she was willing to do what she could to help out. We returned to a clean house and certainly recommend Pilar as a dog/house sitter.”
“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.”
“Madison was great! She communicated well and was very sweet. She took care of our pups and house very well while we were on vacation. We would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Chevaughn did an amazing job! One of my dogs (Toffee) is 'very' skittish & does not warm up to new people well (it often takes weeks - sometimes months - for people just to be able to pet her). However, when we did the first meet & greet, Toffee was curious & got close enough to sniff him, which I thought was a great sign. But then... Chevaughn was actually able to pet her before leaving. She was wary, but let him. It kinda shocked me a bit. We had met with 2 other potential sitters & Toffee wouldn't get near them. With one of them, she wouldn't even come inside the house from the yard, not even for a treat, so long as the lady was there. Chevaughn has great energy, though. He was calm & assertive, moved gently around Carlee & Toffee, and they both became fast friends with him. While we were away, he even sent video of her licking his hand. That was a huge deal... Chevaughn was reliable, on time, consistent & most importantly, he is kind. Next time we need a sitter, he's our guy and I highly recommend him for taking care of your pups..”
“Jordan did a wonderful job watching my three dogs! Great communication and happy to work around my dogs boundaries that aren’t socialized to one of the dogs in the household. My dogs would definitely recommend booking again”
“Daysi house sat for my 2 dogs for 2 days and did a wonderful job! She was great during the meet and greet and took the time to listen about things about the dogs personalities and routines. She did a great job with the dogs and I would have her back again!”
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.
“We are so lucky to have found Aquila! She took great care of our fur babies which allowed us to really enjoy our vacation. She was communicative, providing updates and asking questions when necessary. She made sure that she was providing the highest standard of care to our dog and cat as possible. She kept the house in great shape and even thoroughly cleaned before leaving! We highly recommend Aquila for pet/housesitting!”
About: I’ve grown up around all kinds of animals from dogs, cats, and horses. Family and friends have entrusted me in caring for their animals. It’s always been a great passion of mine to care for pets! I am a full time college student and have a part-time job but I am flexible with schedules in order to care for your furry friends! I want your pets necessities and care to come first as they are important to you as they are to me. I am able to care for your pets in your home to keep them as comfortable as possible. I can provide potty breaks, crate your pets when needed, feed, walk, bathe and play with your pets.
About: I've been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, and over the years, friends and neighbors have trusted me with the special care of their beloved pets. For over a year, I worked in a lab-like setting providing daily care to a wide variety of exotic animals, including reptiles, amphibians, small mammals and birds. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning, and general husbandry for each species. I also have experience caring for senior animals, including administering medication and performing nail trims, so I'm comfortable with pets who need a little extra attention and care. I currently work part-time and am finishing up my Associate's degree, which gives me a good amount of flexibility during the week to care for your fur babies. On days I work an 8-hour shift, there may be a slightly longer gap between potty breaks, but I always plan ahead and communicate clearly so you know exactly what to expect. Providing consistent, quality care for your animals is a top priority for me, no matter my schedule. When I care for your pets in their own environment, I bring nothing but comfort and love. I give excellent cuddles and scritches, and genuinely enjoy enriching their day with play. I know when to be calm and reassuring, and when to be playful and energetic, adapting to match each pet's unique personality. Every animal I care for receives quality, individualized attention tailored to exactly what they need. Above all, you can count on me to be reliable and consistent, every single time.
About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs my whole life, I often watch pets for members and have not had any incidents (thankfully!) i have 2 dogs who get along well with other dogs and would be happy to play. I love animals a lot and am currently taking classes transfer to be a vet technician, I worked as a kennel attendant at an animal daycare and I also am a volunteer at the Burlington animals shelter. I’m available weekends or weekdays after 6pm. While I am in school and do have a job, I’m often open and would be more than happy to have some extra critters in my home ❤️ I have a fenced in yard that has Shade it in to play and plenty of dog toys, I also have 2 dogs myself who would love to play. Food and water is always open and provided to animals and there is also a dog park a minute walk away from my home that if allowed I’d be more than willing to take the dogs to. Animals would also be provided with a bed and plenty of couch space if a nap is needed.
About: I have always had a major love for animals! I currently own 1 cat and 1 dog. I have owned dogs, hamsters, turtles, geckos, and a rabbit. I have experience in raising newborns, puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. I have also cared for other types of animals including cats, hamsters, rabbits, turtles, fish, and reptiles. I always make time to play and cuddle with any type of fur baby to make them feel comfortable with me and happy! I can provide just about any service needed: from feeding to potty breaks, walks, grooming, nail trimming, cleaning ears, cleaning up messes, or administering medication. I currently work in an animal hospital, so I am very familiar and comfortable providing any type of pet care! If possible, please request a booking a week from the dates required so I can work that around my job. I am mainly available on the weekends. Will update availability for the weekdays soon. I make sure all choking hazards, loose cords, or anything dangerous are out of reach. I put away all food and meds that aren't necessary at the current time. If a crate is required for a dog or cat when leaving the home, I make it very comfy and supply toys for comfort!
“Savanna has always been wonderful with our pup. We’ve used her several times now and feel very comfortable knowing our girl is in good hands with her! We have a pretty shy dog and she takes a while to warm up to people, but it’s clear that she loves Savanna and is very comfortable around her. Savanna sends updates (with pics!) daily and takes good care of our home too. I highly recommend Savanna!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alamance
She did a great job taking care of our pets while we were away for the weekend! We have quite a few animals, so finding someone we trust to care for everyone is really important to us. We really appreciate her helping us out and making sure everyone was taken care of. We would definitely use her again!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Alamance is $36 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $56 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 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 , 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.
