Lots of play time and tons of pics and vids sent our way so we knew they were happy and healthy! We came home to a spotless house. We would definitely recommend Heather to anyone looking for pet care and/or housesitting!â

About: Iâve cared for cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities from young kittens and puppies to senior pets, tiny pups to large breeds like Cane Corsos. Iâm active and love walks and playtime, but Iâm just as happy providing a calm, comfortable environment for older or more laid back pets. I always make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and cared for based on their individual needs. I am currently per diem and self employed so I have a lot of free time to pet sit, I have a small dog myself and he loves the company I live in a safe community, we have a dog park for dogs to potty or play, or I can take them for walks. If youâre okay with them making friends with my neighbors pets we I can take them out for play dates. I will make sure to touch base with you on any concerns, allergies, or needs of your furbaby, I do offer to give them a bath if needed ($10). & will update you through the day on how theyâre doing!
âHeather was absolutely incredible with all four of our fur babies while we were away for a week!! We have two cats and two dogs and one of our dogs can be a bit nervous around new people and either shuts down or gets defensive. Heather took the time to build a relationship with him giving him the space he needed to feel comfortable and by the end of our trip they were getting along so well, she really built that trust. All the photos and daily recaps were amazing, she is incredibly thorough and took care of our babies as if they were her own. I canât tell you how much peace of mind that brought us while we were so far away knowing they were all being cared for so well. I would absolutely recommend Heather to anyone and will definitely being booking with her again!!!â
About: Iâve had dogs my entire life and grew up with my first dog, a Pit Bull and Chocolate Lab mix, who was with me from birth until I was 16. I helped care for her throughout her life and developed a really special bond with her. I also have a new dog who is mostly Pit Bull, and I take care of him regularly. Iâve also cared for friends dogs and currently walk a Golden Retriever multiple times a week throughout the summer. Iâm comfortable with different personalities and love building a genuine connection with every dog I meet. Iâm currently a student but have a pretty flexible schedule where I have much free time during the week and full availability on the weekends. I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable while theyâre in my care. I follow each ownerâs instructions and keep their normal routine as much as possible. Iâm very attentive and make sure pets get the care, attention and love they need. I also treat every clientâs home with the same respect I would want for my own.
âBreanna was amazing! She was so wonderful with our little Bean. She communicated very well with us while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again.â
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a young girl. Growing up, we had dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, ferrets, and reptiles. I currently have 3 dogs, 2 cats, and a turtle. I have taken care of the pets in my neighborhood for many years. I currently care for a senior dog and have raised many puppies. I love all animals and will provide exceptional love and care for your pet. I have a hybrid work schedule and can easily schedule visits or overnight care with notice. Friday-Monday work best for me but can be flexible during the week as well. I will stay in your home and follow the routine/schedule that your pet is used to. I will provide comfort and care and will follow any directions.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Albion on Rover is $83.25 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,779 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Albion. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs 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 Albion walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Albion 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 Albion 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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.

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.
