“She is a true gift for people who don’t want to leave their babies or have a fear of the unknown of traveling without them… Kimberly cared for our senior pitbull, cat, and hamster for 5 days while we were out of town and stayed in our home. She also gave our dog his medicine 2x a day & watered our plants..She sent updates and photos daily and responded quickly to my messages… we are very picky with our pets and have some odd routines with our pets as the cat and dog have to be separated and our dog can be very needy due to incontinence and separation anxiety… we felt really comfortable with Kimberly and after retuning home I can tell she gave our babies a lot of love because our dog acted like we had never even left, he was bouncy and happy instead of his usual moping like he has done in the past after boarding or staying with family and she left our house clean with almost no trace she was here.. this was a great experience and I 100% recommend her.. I wish we had found her years ago.. there are no words to describe how happy & grateful we are.. will definitely be using Kimberly again!”
“Patty was amazing. She regularly shared pictures of the dogs and let me know how they were doing. My animals were a bit disappointed when I walked in after being gone and realized it wasn’t her. Would highly recommend.”
“Zulema house sat our two pups and she was great. She sent photo updates and was so pleasant and communicative. She asked questions if needed and followed their normal routine. And the dogs like her too! We're so glad to have found her!”
“Mila stayed at our house for 5 nights to care for our 2 dogs and 2 cats. I was nervous because it was the first time that they had been cared for by anyone other than family. Mila did a wonderful job and kept us updated throughout our trip with texts and pictures. When we arrived home, our babies were happy and everything in the house was as we had left it. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I am new to sitting for Rover. I haven been sitting dogs /homes since I was a teenager. From playful pups to gentle seniors, I’ve had the joy of raising and looking after a variety of breeds. I currently have four amazing dogs of my own—a Labrador Retriever, Rottweiler, Pit Bull mix, and Terrier mix—so I’m no stranger to different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just a cozy nap in the sun, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I treat every dog like family, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I work fully remote, which means I have a flexible schedule and can give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their established routines as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. During drop-in visits, I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, and potty breaks—plus any feeding, medication, or special care instructions you provide. For dog walks, I ensure each walk is safe, engaging, and tailored to your dog’s energy level and preferences. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a brisk walk to burn off energy, I always keep their safety and happiness top of mind.
“Patti is amazing. I felt so comfortable with Patti coming and staying at my home to watch my girls. She even sent me pictures to let me know the girls were doing well. I can't believe it but when she left, she even washed the towels and sheets and remade the bed. WOW, above and beyond for sure. I would highly recommend her for your house sitting or pet sitting needs.”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have been surrounded by them for most of my life! Growing up around my grandmother’s farm gave me plenty of experience being around different animals. I also have 6 years of pet care experience, including caring for my grandmother’s three dogs whenever she travels. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and looking after multiple dogs at once. I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family! I’m currently a full-time online college student, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I’m also a very active person, so I love going on walks, spending time outdoors, and keeping dogs entertained. Since I’m not currently working, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to making sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I always do my best to make them feel safe and loved. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, so I make sure to follow any specific instructions you provide.

I also understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I’m always happy to send pictures and updates while you’re away!
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies who need patience and training to senior pets who require extra attention, medication, and gentle care. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand that every animal has unique needs, routines, and comfort levels, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I’ll provide dependable, attentive care and treat them like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in caring, experienced hands. I currently work in office full time from 9-5pm 3 work days of the week and 2 work days I am remote from home. I am willing to come before I go to work and after work to come take care of your fur babies! I provide compassionate care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, following your specific instructions closely. My goal is to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for during your time away. I understand how important your pets are to you, so I offer regular updates and photos to reassure you that they are happy and content.
About: I've always loved our furry friends: wether sheltering strays for a few days, pet sitting for neighbors, or volunteering at my local shelter I learned each animal has their own personality and temperament but all require some basic needs, like water, food, exercise, mental stimulation, and ofc love! Beyond the practical knowledge of walking, feeding, training, and playing with animals I've also had a personal fascination into the minds of animals (LOVE watching dog training videos and reading up on Donna Haraway). When I mean I love pets and want to make sure they'll have a good time, I mean it! I’ve say both cats and dogs from days to months, small to large, shy to outgoing. Your fur child will be in great hands! I work from home full time, so my availability can be pretty flexible! Open to chat more based on needs and schedules Every animal has a different schedule so like to work around what works best for your pet Building has a fenced in courtyard and a community garden on the corner. There's a couple of cats and dogs in the building but for our apartment unit, your pets would be the only ones (they'll have my undivided attention <3) There is also a dog park about 15 min walking and another green space garden 10 min walking.
About: I used to have a successful pet-sitting business where dogs could stay at my house overnight, instead of being stuck in overnight kennels. I had regular clients, but had to end it because I was in high school and doing other extracurricular activities. I've had dogs since I was a small child. They are my family and I would do anything for them. Knowing how much my dogs mean to me, I will treat other's dogs like I would my own. My schedule is very flexible and I have reliable transportation. I think it's very important to make sure dogs are comfortable, happy, and given the care each individual dog requires. Having the opportunity to work with dogs would be something I would love to do- it wouldn't feel like work.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life! I have also taken care of neighbors pets for several years now and just looking to do so in my new home. I care for horses in my day to day and I love them and wish I could board them but I need a much bigger space for that! So in the meantime, I have a spare room where crated dogs could stay or cats! I love being around animals and I plan on getting a cat and then a dog or two in the future once I have a bigger area for them! I would love to watch and take care of your pets and you can count on me for them to be well taken care of! I work 9-5 on wednesdays and thursdays and in the evenings on weekends! Outside of those times I can be with your pet as much as needed! Mondays and Tuesdays are my days off. I am in a two story townhome with a spare room on the ground level. I can have crates if needed in there and there’s a pretty big walkable area outside of the town house for bathroom breaks and walks! At a clients home, I am comfortable with most places!
About: I have four different dogs of my own of all sizes. From a Great Pyrenees to a mini Border Collie, I have raised all of them since they were puppies. I also help take care of a Golden Retriever that is learning how to live with one eye. When I take care of dogs I make sure to interact with them as much as possible and not just sit and watch them. I am currently attending school at Webber International University. I also play baseball for the school team. I have a pretty light class schedule that leaves parts of my day with plenty of open time as well as my nights being completely free. I would love to spend this time taking care of your dogs! I care for pets by making sure that they stay active and entertained. If a dog has specific needs I have no problem at all catering to those needs to keep the dog comfortable.
About: I have a strong affection for dogs and am very attentive to their needs. I am young and enjoy playing with them in a spacious yard and taking them for walks around the neighborhood. I treat every dog as if it were my own, providing them with love and care. My schedule is pretty much free for walks, visits to the dog park and time to play.

About: What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and genuine love for animals.

I also provide regular updates, photos, and detailed care notes so owners have peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands.

“Words do not express how grateful I am for Temi. I was a first time Rover user, for an overnight stay for 5 days. I have two dogs that vary in temperament. We originally were simply going to board our dogs at a local pet “hotel”. These plans fell through, and we decided to give Rover a try. From the moment Temi decided to accept our overnight booking, she was VERY professional and personable. She asked all the right questions to understand how to best support our two fur babies while we were out of town. Her communication is TOP NOTCH, and she continued to update us via the APP. It felt good to get pictures and videos, which confirmed our first babies were happy and well cared for. Temi is amazing because she immediately caught on to helping our younger fur baby with improving her leash manners. In today’s society it’s not always you find someone who goes above and beyond. Temi did, and I am so appreciative that she accepted our booking. She will now be our go to for any out of town visits. Thank you 🙏🏾 so much Temi!!!”

Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I treat every pup like family.😊 I’m available Monday through Friday, all day long, making it easy to fit into your pup’s routine. Whether you need morning walks, afternoon playtime, or drop-in visits throughout the day, I can provide flexible and reliable care for your furry friend. Your pup’s safety and happiness are always my top priority. I create a calm, caring environment where small and medium dogs can feel at ease and enjoy their time, while you have peace of mind knowing they’re in trusted hands. :D

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alandale
Jolie took great care of our boy, Sheldon (9 year old, 70 pound pit mix), for a 3 nights stay in our home! She sent pictures and updates frequently and always responded to texts quickly. She also took great care of our home and honestly left it cleaner than it was before she got there. I would 100% use her again and would highly recommend her services to others. Thank you, Jolie!!!

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 Alandale 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 Alandale 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 Alandale 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.
