“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! ❤️”
“Rachael rearranged her plans at the last minute to spend the weekend with Izzy and Thor, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for and happy!!”
“We have had the pleasure of having Betsy as our pet and house sitter twice now, and she has truly exceeded our expectations both times. The first occasion was in July 2024, when we went on a nearly three-week trip and needed someone to take care of our two cats, Ringo and Paul. Betsy did an outstanding job, and we didn't hesitate to book her again for the first week of January 2025. Betsy is incredibly trustworthy and reliable. She kept us updated with pictures and messages about our cats, which brought us great peace of mind. Ringo and Paul absolutely adore her and follow her around the house. In fact, she gives them more attention than we probably do! 🐾 Not only does Betsy take excellent care of our pets, but she also leaves our home even cleaner than when she arrived. She handles small tasks with ease and is delightfully agreeable. Communication with Betsy is a breeze; she's friendly and always keeps us informed. We couldn't ask for a better pet and house sitter. If you are looking for someone who is caring, responsible, and communicative, look no further than Betsy. We highly recommend her services!”
“Tina was on time, very communicative, sent lots of photos, and followed all of our special care instructions for our seven month old puppy. He was in a great mood when we returned and the house was in great shape. Thank you, Tina!”
“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.”
“Rebecca has been house sitting for Mikko and Kona most of this year, and she is absolutely fantastic with them! She is ultra dependable and takes care of them! She has even helped with some other friend’s dogs when they were in a bind. I could not be more grateful for Rebecca and her care!!”
“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.”
“Thanks again to Courtney, we were able to enjoy spring break knowing our house and pets were in good hands. Came back to happy pets and a house in good order as usual!”
“We had an amazing experience with Efraim over the holidays. He took exceptional care of our dogs, fish, turtle, and even our Christmas tree, and left our home absolutely spotless. It was clear how loving and attentive he was with our pets, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Efraim is incredibly trustworthy, professional, and truly wonderful with animals. We will absolutely be using him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best pet care!!!”
“Monica was amazing! The first day we met and talked with her for our meet and greet, we were immediately at ease with having her sit for our dog and home. When we were away, we could tell that Monica was so kind, thoughtful and playful with Coco. She played with her toys with her, threw the ball, spent time in the yard and took her on neighborhood walks. She also took her on car rides and in general treated Coco like she was her own. We got so many adorable pictures and updates, and when we got home from our trip, Coco was calm and happy. We could not be more pleased. Also, Monica took beautiful care of our house and administered all of Coco's medications throughout the day. We would hire Monica to sit again in a heartbeat.”
“Desiree was an amazing pet sitter. She was wonderful with Cassie, giving her tons of attention and catering to her unique eating quirks! She was such a considerate houseguest and spent most of her time at home with Cassie. She supplied tons of pictures, was always quick to respond and helped me out during my travel delays (thanks Southwest) being super flexible and going out of her way to make sure my girl was cared for until I could get home to her. She is our go to dog sitter!!”
“Bailey is awesome! She sat with our pug and lab overnight. She was super responsive and sent photos and kept in touch while we were away. The dogs were happy. Great experience ?”
“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 so much for your kindness and caring nature, Gray. Milo being such a new pup truly appreciated you. Your attentiveness and attention to detail was much appreciated! We appreciate you and look forward to seeing you again soon!”
“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.”
“Matt was excellent! Our dog can be a bit intimidating and not always the warmest - but him and Matt became buds instantly!! We were able to enjoy our vacation with no issues or concerns. He was very easy to reach and provided updates regularly. We came back to a very happy pup!! Thanks Matt for everything! We hope you will watch koa in the future.”
“Destiny and Treonna did a fantastic job taking care of our pup Nova as well as the house. We got a bunch of pictures updates during the busy holiday time which we greatly appreciated. Nova was left in great hands and we will be using them going forward given the opportunity!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alamo
Allie was amazing! She was incredibly trustworthy, communicative, attentive, and kind. Since she’s also a dog trainer, she knew exactly how to handle a young puppy and made us feel completely at ease leaving Churro with her. She even taught Churro some new things while we were away! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her.
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Alamo on Rover is $87.69 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 9,303 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.
