“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!”
“Liberty was an amazing sitter! My cat, Brie, loved her ☺️ I could tell Brie got plenty of love and attention while I was away, because of the daily updates I received. I never once had to worry how my baby was doing! 🥰 Liberty was also very respectful of my home and I returned to it exactly as I left it ✨”
“Rylee stayed with our boy for a whole week while we were on vacation. She kept us updated with photos throughout the stay and followed all instructions we left her. When we got home, our house was clean and our boy was happy and healthy. We will definitely work with Rylee again. She is the best and we highly recommend!”
“Patti was wonderful with our pups! We really appreciate the care she took with our fur babies. Great communication on how everything was going. She even collected mail, ran the dishwasher and took the garbage to the curb for pickup. We will definitely be calling on her again”
“Brooke was amazing! She sent lots of pictures of updates of the pups. I felt good knowing my baby was being taken care of so well. I would definitely use Brooke again in the future for any pet sitting/house sitting needs. She left my home in better shape than she found it I appreciate her very much!”
“Charlotte is amazing! Our Luna is very routine-oriented and very cautious around people. We had never used a pet sitter before and we weren’t sure how quickly Luna would warm up, but Charlotte’s calm demeanor and patience is just what Luna needed to earn her trust. Charlotte was very good at providing daily updates and reaching out when needed. She also went above and beyond when some tree branches fell on our fence during a storm. Charlotte and Luna are now friends for life!”
“There aren't enough wonderful things to say about Edith and my experience with her when she recently took care of my two dogs and my house for five days. From the minute I reached out to her she responded almost immediately and made me feel that she was open to help in any way. She was punctual for our 'meet and greets', and my dogs loved her the minute she came through the door. While I was out of town I was totally comfortable knowing that my dogs and everything they needed was taken care of. Edith is extremely knowledgeable about animals. Since one of my dogs is a senior, she needs extra care with meds and slower walks. Edith handled her with so much tenderness and understanding. I knew that my home and dogs were in the best hands with Edith. I cannot recommend her enough! She is exceptional. Thank you, Edith!”
“Kathy was a dream come true. I have two cats. A young and feisty female and an elderly male cat (18 years old). She took care of them like a rock star getting them both to warm up to her in the 7 days we were away. She spent time with them and nurtured them like I would. The older cat is in diapers and she handled that like a charm. When we got home our house was in order and very clean. She brought in the mail and put out the trash and generally treated our home as if it was hers. I highly recommend Kathy and will definitely use her again.”
About: I currently have three cats and a dog! Im very well rounded in terms of animal care, safety, and enrichment. I am a nursing school student so I can promise you safety is my top priority if your baby needs special care, I can safely administer injectable medications if needed. I am free day or night. I will always work with you to accommodate even the most last minute scheduling. I am currently available reliably Friday-Monday with occasional by request times available on other days. Message me if you are unsure! I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. I follow feeding schedules, refresh water, clean litter boxes, administer medications if needed, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I have worked with Senior and disabled animals so I am able to provide a well rounded range of care. I can also send regular photo and video updates because I know how scary it can be to trust someone in your home with your babies. You will never be left wondering under my care. For cats- Having 3 of my own, I totally understand that every cat has a different personality! Whether your cat is social and loves attention or prefers space and a calm environment, I take the time to earn their trust and keep their routine consistent. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“So happy we found Zulema! This was our first time leaving out little boy with a sitter and Zulema made all of us feel at ease about it, came for a meet and greet before and the day of sitting went smooth and she kept a great company to our Skip. She is very kind, calm and friendly and we felt Skip was so comfortable around her and coming home to see him just chilled was everything. Hundred percent recommended and we'd definitely reach out again from now on! Big thank you from all of us!:)”
About: I’ve owned pets since I was born - dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, fish, and a hedgehog. And I’ve been dog sitting and caring for friends and families pets for as long as I can remember! My sweet 10-year-old retired greyhound recently crossed the rainbow bridge, but for over 7 years he was a big pet of my daily life - from feeding to walking to administering medication. I also own 2 sweet cats - a boy and a girl, both 2 years old. They are fed a specified amount twice a day, their nails trimmed regularly, and their litter box is scooped daily plus changed weekly. I am happy to stay with your pet overnight, drop in to play and supervise outdoor time, or walk them when needed! The more time with pets, the better!
“Lauren was lovely, on time, followed instructions and most importantly, sweet to my 2 dogs. She communicated throughout the time she cared for my dogs. Will book her again! Highly recommend.”
“Mckayle was very attentive to our dogs! She was willing to go above and beyond, kept our house in order and took great care of our boys! We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future if we need a house sitter! Thank you Mckayle for doing an amazing job!”
About: Living in the same area for 20 years, I grew up taking care of neighbors and friends pets, from cats and dogs to birds and bunnies. I grew up with two labs, later 3 rescue mutts, a turtle and now I have a cat of my own. I’m experienced in bathing, feeding, and giving medicine to pets. I’ve house sat for 4 years now, taking care of plants, pets, mail and packages. I’m confident in my ability to care for animals of any kind and all levels of care as well as multiple at a time. I currently work park time Thursday-Sunday as a waitress, manager, and bartender and am in online classes. I’m looking to care and tend to pets mostly during the weekdays and mornings. I have a cat of my own so his space is a priority of mine. To ensure that he feels safe and comfortable I prefer to travel to clients homes where the pet being taken care of has everything provided for them. I ask my clients to write out feeding/medicine schedules, what the pet is allowed to have and not have including toys, treats, etc, as well as where they are allowed to be and not be, furniture, carpet, rooms, etc, and what they are allowed and not allowed to do. I ask my clients if their pet has any triggers & what I should expect from the pet, wether the pet be playful and hyper or enjoys sleeping most of the day. I also make sure I have the clients contact information on hand in case of any change in the pets behavior or emergency.
“I was very nervous about going on vacation for five days leaving my animals, but I found Abigail on Rover and she was absolutely amazing. I’ve told my friends about her. She took very good care of my animals. I would definitely recommend her. She gave me detailed information and updates on my babies. Thank you Abigail. You are the best.”
“First time using Patty and my boys couldn’t be happier which makes me a super happy mom. She was super attentive and even sent super cute pics. I scheduled her immediately for my next trip. Couldn’t recommend more!!!!!”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals so friends and family have relied on me over the years. Also, I have raised four children and many pets. I create my own schedule so reach out and we can make a time that works for you. I’m flexible. Holidays included as well as Christmas Native to the area. I have experience with many different types of animals over the years and I have four grown children and a grandchild so I have seen a lot. I’m happy to help so reach out.
“Tisha was amazing with my evie and made me feel so comfy throughout my first booking with Rover. I will most certainly be booking her for all my needs in the future!”
About: Huge dog lover, will pick up literally any dog I see on the streets. Treat every fur baby with love and respect just as they treat us with love and respect. Enjoy playing with them and being apart of them experiencing life as they should. I am a fur mama myself and have taken care of dogs from any and every stage. I also have foster in the past and have successfully placed all my fosters into loving homes. With me your fur baby will be loved, have fun and experience new adventures ☺️ I’m currently working part-time so they will fit just right in my schedule and I’m always there to update you because end of the day they’re our babies ! I have a fenced yard and a golden retriever who is just so loving and playful (she just turn 1). I also have huge cages if they were to be needed to be placed in a cage. Safety is my number one priority because that would be my number 1 concern as a dog mom myself

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!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Alandale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Alandale on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,531 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alandale. 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 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 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.
