“She was amazing! Came on time, follow all the instructions with my little puppy. Send me the updates and photos of Poet. Puppy was happy and safe when I came back home. Her prices are very affordable. You can feel that she loves the animals. Highly recommend Christopher!”
“This is the first time I've had a sitter stay in my house instead of boarding my girls. After meeting Kathy and seeing how much my younger dog loved her, I felt confident in leaving for a week. However, she went above and beyond to love on my dogs so they wouldn't be upset that I was gone. She communicated daily, sent pictures, and tailored her schedule around the dog's needs. Kathy was also flexible when the dogfood unexpectedly ran out and I had to order more while out of the country. She offered to get food for them locally and then modified their feeding schedule while waiting for the food shipment. Both dogs were happy and healthy when I got home and its clear they were well loved and taken care of. The house was also cleaner than when I left! I've already asked Kathy if she is available for my next trip!”
About: Hi! My name is Leslie, and I’m a caring, reliable, and responsible animal lover who would love to help care for your furry family members! I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have been dog sitting for friends and family for about 3 years now. I’m a full time firefighter with a lot of free time on my days off. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I have a ton of flexibility and can assist wherever you need. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged best friend! 🐾 I currently work as a full time firefighter and I work about 10 shifts a month. On my days off, I stay active with my husband going on hikes, runs, swims, and bikes. I have plenty of time to care for your pets. Note that my schedule is 24 hours on and 48 hours off, so when I’m working I will not be available. I am respectful of your home and will treat your routine with your pets as a priority. I will care for your pets as I would my own and care for their specific needs.
About: Available in evenings and weekends. I am reliable, responsible and always on time. I love all dogs and I appreciate all the quirks that come with their individual personalities. I have loved animals since I was young, and I volunteered for a pet shelter in the summer when I was younger. Although I am currently a cat owner, I love all furry animals and I have to greet every dog I meet on the road. I am looking for part time work and this would be a great opportunity to utilize my free time and my love for canines and kitties. I have three cats that are basically like my children, but I adore dogs and would love the opportunity to interact with them daily or weekly. I have free time on my work from home days as well as weekends to assist other dog/cat owners. I do not have a fenced yard, but I live in a community that has a lot of pathways and green space. Within my apartment, I can keep my cats separate if needed but happy to let the dogs explore and get comfy in my space. I am very courteous of other people's space and preferences.
“Our pups LOVE Reina. She took wonderful care of them and made them feel comfortable while we were away. We came home to happy dogs and a super clean home! We will be using her again, JJ”
About: If your pet could choose their own vacation, I’d love to think they’d choose my home. Animals have been my whole life. I’ve shared my life with dogs for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. Every wagging tail, happy zoomie, belly rub, cuddle on the couch, game of fetch, and quiet nap together is my favorite part of the day. Some people enjoy quiet houses. I love hearing paws on the floor. Your pet won’t be treated like a customer. They’ll be treated like someone I genuinely adore. I work from home, so I’m able to give dogs the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. My home sits on five peaceful acres with a large, securely fenced yard where they can safely run, explore, play, and simply enjoy being dogs, all under my supervision. I’ve also spent the past several years hosting Airbnb guests and caring for many of their pets, giving me experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. When your pet is with me, my goal is simple. I want them to feel safe, happy, loved, and excited to come back. I can't wait to welcome your best friend into my home. I work for myself, I have a very flexible schedule and can adjust my time to meet your pet’s needs. This allows me to be available, reliable, and fully present for your pet. Whether it’s daily visits or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they are cared for, comfortable, and never feel alone. I treat every pet like my own, with safety and comfort always coming first. I live on a private five-acre property with a large, securely fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and enjoy plenty of space. Inside, pets have a calm, clean environment with cozy spots to relax, along with toys and attention. I always supervise outdoor time and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and truly cared for.
“Destiny was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of our babies and they all loved her! She was very communicative, gave great updates everyday, and very responsive! Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!!”
About: Since age 8, I’ve helped with my grandmother’s pet sitting business, caring for dogs, cats, and a variety of other animals. I have hands-on experience training my own dogs using positive reinforcement techniques and have spent years working with and caring for horses, both personally and through volunteering at a local horse barn. I also have experience caring for small animals and rodents, giving me confidence working with pets of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life, as animals have always been a huge part of it. Outside of pet sitting, I currently only work at my part-time job from 3 PM to 1 AM on Thursdays and Fridays, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the rest of the week. This schedule allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own and do my best to keep them on their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water at all times, get plenty of exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding medications, training routines, or household rules. My goal is to provide a safe, reliable, and caring environment so both pets and owners feel at ease while they’re away.
“Thank you so much! Darian was great with the pups and took care of both them and our house with the utmost care. She was also very responsive and really helped out us out of a jam, our sitter cancelled at the last minute and she stepped up and made it work!”
“Alexsys was wonderful with Bailey! When I had a recent family emergency with my daughter going into labor three weeks early, I had town quickly. Alexsys jumped right in and took great care of Bailey, sending pictures and updates that really helped me feel comfortable leaving my furbaby. I would definitely book her again!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience with animals, having grown up with dogs and cats in the country. I provide compassionate care for senior pets. My joyful, hardworking, and caring nature for animals ensures each pet receives the personalized attention and love they deserve. I am a flexible and reliable pet sitter available anytime with advance notice. Ready to provide loving, attentive care for your pets whenever you need! I provide attentive care in my clients' homes. For outdoor time, I use a leash to ensure safety and proper exercise. Your pets will receive personalized attention, love, and regular activity.
About: I love dogs and can't wait to take care of your furry friend! I have a large home, plenty of room for your dog to stretch out. I have a yellow lab/golden retriever mix who is very friendly. I have a fenced yard (about half an acre) and another 9 acres of unfenced area. I work from home during the week, so will have plenty of time for walks, play-time, etc. I am good with all ages/sizes. I will ensure your dog is comfortable and safe, and has plenty of attention! I work from home so am always around to care for your pets! Will have plenty of potty breaks and play time. If I have to step out I can crate your pet or not, whichever you prefer. I have a fenced in yard I work from home so am always around to care for your pets! Will have plenty of potty breaks and play time. If I have to step out I can crate your pet or not, whichever you prefer.
“Katie was absolutely amazing. Our retriever was quite anxious about us leaving, and she quickly calmed him. He was great with her. Both of the pups were happy and behaved as though we never left. We will definitely be reaching out again!”
“I want to be greedy and keep Kourtney a secret…But also go on and on about how amazing she is! This was our first time leaving the girls with someone and we could not have asked for anyone better. She was timely, communicative, and most importantly so kind to our baby dogs (and our home)! You will not regret having her help care for your pups. If we could give 1,000 stars we would!”
“We can’t recommend Sara enough! She recently cared for our two dogs, Frankie and Lulu, as well as our fish, and went above and beyond by making sure the bird feeder was stocked for the wild birds. Her attentiveness and thoughtfulness were evident from day one. She sent us daily updates and plenty of pictures of Frankie and Lulu, which kept us reassured and connected while we were away. It was clear Sara treated our home and pets as if they were her own. Frankie and Lulu were happy and relaxed when we returned, and everything in the house was spotless. Knowing our pets were in such good hands made our time away completely stress-free. We’re so grateful for Sara and would absolutely trust her again in the future!”
About: I’ve had dogs of my own my whole life. I’ve been taking care of others’ dogs for many years. I have experience with various breeds and sizes. Willing to do occasional jobs or recurring ones. I had to put set prices into my profile, but willing to discuss. I’m currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule. I am available any weekday and, with notice, can be available on weekends as well. I do not provide care in my home, but would love to come to your home where your dogs are most comfortable. I will provide any care needed- letting out in a fenced yard, taking for walks, feeding, administering meds, etc.

FAQs for House Sitting - Albin
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 408 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Albin. 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 Albin 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 Albin 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 Albin 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
