“We had such a wonderful experience with Mary! She stayed with Teddy for three nights while we were away and was so kind, attentive, and generous with him. She took him on daily walks and sent us updates and photos every day, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. Mary also went above and beyond with our home. She washed the sheets from the bed she used, watered our front porch plant, brought in our mail, and even folded towels we had left in the dryer! We came home to a happy Teddy and a beautifully cared for home. We feel so lucky to have found Mary and absolutely cannot wait to have her back to stay with Teddy again. Thank you so much, Mary! ❤️”
“Aida did a fantastic job house sitting! She took excellent care of my dog and two cats. I've already rebooked her for my upcoming trips! I felt completely at-ease with her in my home, and she kept me updated with plenty of pictures. Thank you Aida, and we'll see you soon for your next sitting :)”
“Rachael is absolutely amazing! She stayed at our home for the week and took such great care of our dogs. They got plenty of walks, and her thoughtful updates (with pictures and videos!) really helped put us at ease while we were away. She clearly knows a lot about dog behavior and handled our big pups so well, even though they can be a handful .. at times 😝 We came home to happy dogs and a spotless house, it was perfect!! I’m so grateful we found her and can confidently say she’s our go to dog sitter from now on. Thank you so much, Rachael :)”
“Brittany took wonderful care of our dogs, cats, and rats! She was very responsive, attentive, and communicated well with us while we were away. We appreciated the way she tracked their schedule and went above and beyond cleaning up after them in our yard. It definitely made our time away more relaxing.”
“Courtney took such great care of our fur babies and our home. She was our housesitter and stayed overnight with our two dogs and cat. Our youngest dog was nervous and refused to eat, but Courtney didn’t panic and was very communicative with us. We have already booked her again!”
“Annie did an amazing job housesitting our two dogs while we were out of state visitng family and friends. She sent many updates and photos, was incredibly prompt and courteous, and gave us the gift of peace of mind while away from our pups - which is something that's hard for me! We will certainly be booking Annie again and I encourage others to consider Annie when looking for execllent pet care.”
“Isaiah watched over our home and our dogs for 10 days. He was the best pet sitter we've ever had, and we've had a lot over the years! He took wonderful care of the dogs, giving them lots of exercise as well as comfort and love. We would use him over and over if we could, but we will be moving out of state. :( Too bad we can't take him with us. We highly recommend Isaiah for house sitting, pet sitting, dog walking, all of the above! Super dependable, trustworthy, and communicative. We didn't have to worry about a thing.”
“Monica was amazing with both my dog and cat! She was very responsive and it’s clear she cares deeply for animals. She had no trouble following our somewhat extensive care instructions for our senior dog and went above and beyond on walks and sending pictures. Monica also left the house very clean. I would absolutely hire Monica again.”
“Julia did an amazing job watching my dogs!! They’re both herding breeds and kind of a handful and she did great with them, they were both very happy and tired when I got home. She was also very communicative, respectful, clean, and sent lots of updates. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Jessica is a true animal lover who puts so much care and attention into her work, treating your pets as if they were her own. She took care of my dog and two cats for almost a week while I was out of town and I got frequent updates and came home to very happy animals! It’s also clear in talking with her that she has a wide range of animal experience, not just dogs and cats. Highly recommend and grateful to have found someone who I know will take excellent care of my pets.”
“Gray was excellent with our dog and turtle, as well as with the other aspects of house sitting. He left the house spic and span, with sheets washed and dried when we got back home. He is very easy to communicate with and responsive.”
“We went outof town for the day and Lara watched our dog while we were away. While our dog is older, doesn't want to go outside much, and is afraid of people he does not know well, Lara was able to take him on several walks during the and kept us updated while we were out by sending us pictures of our dog throughout the day. Lara understands dogs well, and we felt confident having Lara care for our dog during the day. I would definitely recommend Lara to other friends who need dog care.”
“Thank You Bailey! Bailey was very professional and made my life easier when I was in somewhat of a pinch. She responded to my request quickly, she communicated with me perfectly, and this made my 1st experience with Rover seamless... Bailey took care of my pets and made me feel comfortable and I was able to enjoy my time away without worry! I will be using this service again, and I will use Bailey again if and when she's available. I have no problem recommending Rover and Baily. Thank You Very Much, Brian B.”
“Vicki did a phenomenal job taking care of our boy Mylo. Mylo had to get some emergency stitches the day before we were going out of town. Vicki handled his care perfectly, sent us regular updates and dealt with all the drama that comes with Mylo having to wear a cone. We cannot thank her enough and absolutely would recommend her to everyone else.”

“Charaag was a wonderful housesitter for our previous Buddy. She sent pictures with Buddy looking so content. She watered our plants and left the house spotless. I would recommend Charaag without hesitation.”
“Matthew was awesome. He's great at communication. He's a low impact, no drama kind of guy. I would easily hire him again. We were able to go on our trip and not worry about our dogs. In a nutshell that's what it's all about.”

Allison was a wonderful cat and house sitter. She visited twice before our departure to make sure she understood all of our instructions. Allison was a great communicator and very attentive to my cat. She left my home beautifully clean and even washed her sheets and towels. I would highly recommend Allison to others needing pet or cat sitting.
Vicki is seriously amazing, she sent pics and videos throughout the day with Dexter and he just loves her so much! We’re always so cautious and nervous leaving Dexter with people we don’t really know but we knew since the meet and greet that she would be perfect. We are 100% planning to keep using her.
Trevor took great care of our puppy! He was communicative throughout the visit, checking in when he arrived and again before he left. He also sent us photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We’re so happy with the care he provided and truly appreciate how well he looked after our little fur baby. We would definitely book with him again!
Savannah watched our dog, Bruce, for a few days while we were out of town. Bruce has a kind heart but can be wary/temperamental with strangers. Not only did Savannah hit it off with Bruce immediately, she took excellent care of both our boy and our house. She followed all instructions and left the house spotless. Bruce even had a stomach issue while we were gone and Savannah went above and beyond in cleaning it up and making sure Bruce was okay. She gave us constant updates while we were gone and Bruce was so happy to have her around. Savannah has a delightful, calm, and attentive personality, and Bruce thrived in her company. We had absolutely no worries with Bruce in her care, we were able to relax on our vacation, and would have Savannah back in a heartbeat. Bruce and our whole family are so thankful to have met her!!
Rylie is a frikin rockstar!! We were desperately searching for overnight boarding care for our small Maltese and it was safe to say that we made the right choice picking Rylie. As soon as she walked through the door, our dog immediately loved her. She was so kind and courteous, and kept in touch sending updates, which made us feel that much more comfortable. We are definitely going to book her in the future. Thank you again so so much Rylie you are the BEST!
Amber was absolutely amazing with my two bulldogs, Chunky and Jelly! She came by before the stay to meet them, learn their routine, and ask thoughtful questions so she knew exactly what was expected. The weekend I was away was scorching hot, and she made sure the dogs (and herself!) stayed safe and comfortable. She sent updates and photos a couple times a day, my pups looked so happy and relaxed! Amber even went above and beyond by helping clean up dog messes. It’s clear she truly loves animals and takes pride in her work. I came home to happy pups and a stress-free experience. I will definitely be hiring her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Alamo on Rover is $91.58 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 9,192 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alamo. 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 Alamo 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 Alamo 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 Alamo 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.
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.
