About: What makes my care different: 🐾 Former pet resort manager with 5 years of professional experience. 😌 Fear Free Certified Professional. ❤️🩹 Pet CPR & First Aid Certified. 🎓 Current Method K9 Institute student studying dog training. 🏡 Home full time with a fully fenced backyard (6ft. privacy). 🤍 Comfortable with anxious, senior, and special-needs dogs. 💊 Experienced with medication administration, including: -Pills and tablets -Injections (including insulin) -Inhalers and specialized care ✅ Dual Insured: I carry private pet care insurance in addition to Rover’s protection, so you can feel 100% confident that your pet is in safe, reliable hands! 🐾 I do this full time, and I structure my schedule around the pets in my care. This allows me to be present throughout the day and provide consistent supervision and reliable routines. This home-based approach provides a more personal level of care than larger facility environments. 🐾To keep things safe and low stress for everyone, I do board multiple dogs at a time and have a few requirements in place: ✅ All pets must be up to date on required vaccinations. Please upload or send a clear photo of your pet’s vaccination records when requesting a booking. 🩺 Vaccination Requirements: Dogs: Must be up to date on Rabies, Distemper (DHPP) & Bordetella (Bordetella must be given at minimum 2 weeks in advance of drop-off if needing updated! Bordetella given fresh before a stay will not be accepted!) Cats: Must be up to date on Rabies, Distemper (FVRCP) Puppies/Kittens: Must be current on age-appropriate vaccines I highly recommend flea/tick/dewormer prevention for all pets! Private boarding option available: If you’d prefer your dog to be the only guest during their stay, I offer the option to book a private retreat, meaning no other dogs will be scheduled at the same time. To reserve the space exclusively for your pet, you’ll need to book all (4) available boarding spots for those dates, as this ensures I can block off my calendar to honor your request. This is ideal for dogs who prefer more one-on-one attention or a quieter setting.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 224 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Alamando. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alamando. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
