Makayla so obviously loves animals! Our 11 month old Lab “puppy” is crazy about her and could care less when my husband and I leave. I don’t need to worry at all while we’re away, plus we get photos and updates too. She’s intelligent, caring and personable. We will most definitely call on her again. Jan &Tex Billings

After our previous house/pet sitter moved away, we were nervous to have a new person caring for our 3 dogs and 1 cat. One of our dogs can be quite vocal and barks a lot at strangers, but Maria did a great job reassuring us that she was excited to care for our pets and win our bark-y dog over. Maria stayed overnight in our home with the animals and was great about communicating with us about how our dogs and cat were doing. She was also able to get our bark-y dog to be comfortable and calm quickly after we left which was a huge relief to us! We received several pictures throughout our trip, our animals were safe and taken care of, and the house was just as we left it. Maria is very friendly, kind, and responsible. I would recommend Maria to anyone looking for a house/pet sitter.

About: I’ve taken care of puppies, kittens dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors friends and family have relied on me to check in, feed and play with their pets. I am currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and or cats. I am available to care for your pet or pets on weekends, weekdays and holidays. I cannot currently board animals at my home due to various reasons. I will be sure to offer that if I can in the future. Thank you.

Donna took wonderful care of my Lacey, and even took the time to tidy up, wash the bedsheets and remake the bed. She sent updates and pictures while we were gone and gave me such peace of mind. I would definitely use her again!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities and truly love spending time with animals. I’m a patient, dependable, and attentive caregiver who treats every pet like family. My dogs have always been a huge part of my life, including my sweet RayRay, who taught me so much about patience, love, and the special bond we share with our pets. I recently adopted my French Bulldog, Ichabod (“Iggy”), and I’m continuing to learn and understand each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), or lots of love and attention, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I love being able to include pets in my daily routine. I plan my schedule around making sure they get the care, attention, and love they need. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, or just keeping them company, I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. Creating a safe and comfortable space for pets is very important to me. I know how much trust it takes to leave someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I pay attention to the little things — their habits, boundaries, and what helps them feel relaxed. In my home or yours, I’ll treat your pet and your space with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels secure, cared for, and loved while you’re away.

About: I grew up on a small farm, and from as young as I could remember, I was always the “Animal Wrangler”, and main caretaker for my friends’ and family's pets, anytime I would visit. I started pet sitting more professionally in 2012, beginning Team Max as an All-In-One, Pet/House/Child Sitter, with Cleaning, Transportation, and General Task Assistance available, as additional services. I’ve worked with a wide variety of animals, from big to small, old, or wild, and most with special needs. (Only Spiders are off limits). I’m currently getting my degree in Animal Training, followed by a Vet Tech degree; so, soon I’ll have a brochure of training opportunities I can provide and more. I'm available 24/7 for short term and long term stays; including emergency visits, performing additional tasks, and providing grooming or training services during anytime of the year! I like to build a foundation of trust by meeting with my clients beforehand. Not only for us and the pets to feel safe and comfortable, but, I enjoy getting a walk-through of the house, learning how it functions, and talking through any concerns, prior to the first stay or visit.

About: I've taken care of dogs for 3 weeks at a time. I've trained dogs basic skills like sit, down, roll over, turn around, leave it, and sit and stay. I've had many dogs of my own and 2 cats I'm available to watch animals before and after work and I can also attend to them in between 12 and 1 on my lunch break. I work from 8:00 to 5:00. I'm early riser. I Love to keep them happy while their owners are away. When I'm caring for animals, I spend time with them I make sure they're well fed and have plenty of water. What makes me happy is having your baby happy while you are away. I love taking them for walks or even going to the park. I do like cuddling. I have no problem with your fur baby sleeping with me at night.

About: I've had dogs my entire life and at this moment I have 2 friendly dogs; a 13 year old terrier mix and a 2 year old mini pitcher. I have a quiet clean (not scrubbed just cozy) home. Dogs are able to sit on couch, sleep with me in my king bed, have snack breaks and go in the backyard for potty breaks and to play fetch. My fenced backyard has a large grass area and a covered patio, we spend lots of time hanging out there on nicer days. I own my home in a nicer neighborhood since 2012. I'm super casual and easy going with a drug, smoke and alcohol free home. Your dogs will be spoiled! Dogs have lots of indoor and outdoor play time. If dogs have thier own dog food, I'll put the other dogs outside to make sure they get thier meal times otherwise I have plenty of blue buffalo dog food I mix with Purina. A morning potty out back while I prepare and separate dog bowls then they can all come in unless a dog is on a special diet then ill feed them separately. My backyard is fenced with locked gates. They get treats throughout the day and a dinner before bed. Then if they want to sleep on the bed with me they can otherwise there's thick blankets on the floor near me.

We truly appreciate her kindness, reliability, and the genuine love she has for animals. We highly recommend Maryann to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets. Thank you, Maryann, for taking such amazing care of Lucca!

About: I've been an avid animal lover for most of my life. I've had the amazing experience of dog sitting for 4 awesome dogs and taking care of my own dog Max for 11 amazing years. I've worked with dogs old and young (4-11 years of age), big and small (12-110 pounds). Although I haven't been given a chance to petsit for cats yet, I would love to be given an opportunity. I've loved every experience I've had with these amazing pets and hope to extend the same courtesy to your furry family members. I am currently a contract worker so my schedule is pretty free Monday-Friday whatever time of day. I am also available for whatever weekends you see open in my calender. My calendar is currently updated through August of 2026. I am very meticulous when it comes to following whatever rules and regulations pet parents put in place. I make it my goal to provide the best experience for the owners piece of mind on the quality of care for their fur babies.

About: I've always had dogs and crate trained my dogs. I know how to train basic commands but nothing really beyond that. I do love playing with dogs and also relaxing with them as well. I do work full time but I do work from home most of the week. So my schedule is pretty flexible for the most part. I have a fenced yard, and 4 friendly dogs. We do have 2 cats but they stay outside as they don't like our dogs. I make sure the the pet I babysit is comfortable and listen to instructions on the owners requests.

Daniella did a pretty good job during her 3 day stay. She took care of Mochi, Buddy and Zoey and treated our dogs like her own. She also followed all instructions on feeding time, taking our dogs in the backyard and taking the time to spend time with them. I was also impressed when she also cleaned our kitchen counter tops, wiping down the cabinet doors and she even swept/ mop the floor and threw the garbage. That's what you call going up and beyond her job duties! We ask her to just take care or our dogs and she did more than that. I would highly recommend her to our family and friends! We also going to book her this coming December because we know we can count on her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Alba

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 528 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alba. 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 Alba 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 Alba 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 Alba 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alba. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.
