“Sara was amazing! She provided updates and pictures daily and was a true professional with my very anxious pup. It was our first experience with Rover so she took the time to ease my mind and was great with communication. She left the house spotless and our little guy was so happy when we arrived home. Sara is just the very BEST!”
“Felicia was great with my poodles. She also was very respectful of my house and our routines. I highly recommend her if you are looking for reliable pet care. She did an awesome job!”
“Our dog took to Hailey immediately and throughout our trip, she has sent us pictures and kept us updated. Highly recommend, but wait until I book her next visit before you do!”
“This was the first time that I left my dog Scully alone with anyone. I was not sure how it would work out having to leave her alone. It took sometime for Scully to warm up to Alexandra and also for her to eat her food. Alexandra was very patient with her and provided pictures of her while I was away. I would highly recommend Alexandria and will use her again.”
“Kayla was great! I would love to use her services in the future. She was punctual, professional, and able to take care of the four dogs we had at our house! She sent lots of pictures!”
“Alexa was absolutely amazing - super responsive, accommodating, and kind, and she sent so many pictures and updates. We felt very comfortable leaving our little guy in her care for the week. Definitely recommend booking with Alexa! 🐕🦺”
“Autumn was great! I was in a bad spot with a last minute trip and she was super responsive and communicative. My Aussie boys are super needy, energetic, and clingy; I didn't have any worries while I was gone.”
“Delaney was excellent, providing daily updates with photos. Very honest as well. Our little guy had an accident in the house. Nothing to do with Delaney's care, rather, he had been out of sorts due to a new environment. She didn't have to tell me, but did. Our guy is very nervous. She calmed him and made him feel super comfortable. Excellent job!”
“Ian was fantastic and took excellent care of our dogs while we were away. He kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed spending time with him. We would absolutely book with Ian again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!!”
About: Hey! I’m Kay, your go-to local walker for keeping your dogs active, grounded, and well-exercised. Navigating neighborhoods and taking a good walk/run helps me also because I can get my steps in. Whether your pup needs to burn some serious energy before your workday kicks off or a solid mid-day stretch, I’ve got you covered. I'm a stay at home mom so I don't have much going on during the day. I would love to walk and play with your fur babies. When I’m dropping by or walking your dog, my main focus is keeping their routine smooth, safe, and stress-free. I treat your space and your pet with total respect—making sure leashes, keys, and doors are managed securely, water bowls are topped off And your pup is returned safely.
“Great sitter. Kept me updated several times a day With my fur baby. My cat misses her very much. She wants the same amount of attention she has been getting from Adriana while we were on travel. Will be calling on you for future fur baby Sitting again. Thank you.”
“Robyn was great! Timely, responsive and sent picture updates. It is always a relief to know you can trust someone to watch your fur babies when you have to travel or if something comes up.”
“Amanda was nothing short of amazing! We had a last minute cancellation of our regular sitter (not from Rover). She was flexible and really easy to communicate with. Rooney really enjoyed having Amanda watch her at our house as we could tell by the many pictures and texts from Amanda during her stay and Rooney was happy, healthy, and relaxed upon our return. This was our first time using the house sitting option on Rover - Amanda was wonderful and our home was left in the same, if not better condition than we left it. We will definitely use Amanda again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Elasa and Stephen! They took excellent care of both our dogs and cats, including administering medications without any issues. We really appreciated the daily updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We were delayed coming home and they came back to check on the dogs. We came home to a clean house and, most importantly, very happy and well-cared-for pets. Highly recommend!”
About: I've been around dogs my whole life. I am especially good with large dogs and breeds that are "uncomfortable" for some people. I've personally had a Rottweiler and German Shepherd and have taken care of an Akita for several weeks. I'm happy to work with puppies and anxious dogs as well! I work full-time but have an energetic German Shepherd that I always set aside time for. We walk and play daily, and I try to schedule one out of the house activity for him every week! I prefer to house sit in your home by doing several drop in visits (2-3), I have an anxious dog of my own that requires a lot of attention especially when storms roll around. I also allergic to cats and am unable to come into homes with cats!! I have a pet-friendly fenced in patio and my own fur baby to keep yours busy! There’s a dog park a short walk from my house as well. I also have a crate available and plenty of space to let the dogs run inside on those rainy days.
About: I’ve house sat for a number of families for almost a decade. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, puppies, and turtles! I can manage multiple animals at once, and have been known to complete a few home chores in the process. I am reliable and hard working and love sending you pictures of your fur babies while you’re away so you can see how they are doing! Communication is the most important key to house and pet sitting. I look forward to working with you and your family! My typical schedule: Work: Monday, Wednesday, Friday - Sunday School: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday ** I have a few hours in between classes so depending on how close the sitting location is I can do a check in or walk! ** I always make sure I am at the pets home if I am not at work or school so they constantly have company, or if they require outside time or an emergency I am there. I enjoy sending photos of pets to their family so they can see how their baby is doing! I have experience administering medications and following specific feeding routines.
About: Hello! I am a young woman, in her early twenties, just trying to make some money while I focus hard on school and eventually get into real estate. I have had several pets that lived long and healthy lives. My oldest was a cat named Ellie who live to 19, the second oldest was Kelli, who recently passed at 17. Both pets I and took care of my whole life, and though I miss them every single day, I now have Nala(5) and Zara(2) who love to hang out with me all day. They especially love being ALL IN my business when I’m in the bathroom or doing yoga😭. I’ve been a house sitter for a few different people in my neighborhood. One family i housesat for not only had two dogs(one senior), but also two cats and large fish tank. I can care for Reptiles too💗 I currently don’t work. I deliver food to make money right now as an income while I am in school, Then I possibly babysit a 4 year old few days a week. I’ve a 8 foot privacy fence around my house and two beautiful Maine Coon cats. Their names are Nala and Zara, and they are let outside in our backyard daily. They have all of their indoor/outdoor shots and all of the other shots they need. The preventative flee medicine we have is applied monthly and have every trinket and product to prevent and rid of flees that you could possibly think of. One of my previous older cats was severely allergic so we became professionals at eradicating them in my household.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Albemarle Acres is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Albemarle Acres
We had an excellent experience with Nicole! One of our pups can be very scared and shy, but she was able to get her to come out of hiding! Nicole was clean, responsible, and very caring throughout her time with our 2 pups. It was such a relief knowing our dogs were in good hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, patient, and reliable dog sitter!
Kathy was great! She came out to meet our dog prior to sitting and showed up early before I left so our dog wouldn’t be stressed about someone new coming in. She sent updates and pictures and responded immediately when I checked in! Will definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter :)

The average cost of House Sitting in Albemarle Acres is $41 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Albemarle Acres 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 Albemarle Acres 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 Albemarle Acres 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.
