“Carly was AMAZING! It was our first time having a pet sitter stay in our house and it was for an extended period of time. Finding a reliable and trustworthy sitter was my main concern for our trip, but Carley alleviated all of my concerns. She sent regular photos and updates, and we came back to our home in perfect condition. All of the animals love her and I already have her booked for our next trip!”
“From the beginning, the communication was clear and prompt. Sophia took the time to ask detailed questions about Roxies routine, feeding preferences, and any behavioral quirks. This level of attentiveness reinforced my confidence that my pup would be well cared for. During the sitting period, she sent regular updates and photos, which immediately put my mind at ease. It was clear that my dog was not just being looked after but was also engaged and having a great time. I appreciated this transparency, as it allowed me to enjoy my time away without any worries. Upon my return, my dog was happy and healthy, and I could tell that they formed a nice bond. Overall, the experience exceeded my expectations, and I would definitely recommend her dog sitting service to anyone in need of reliable and caring pet care.”
“It's always hard to leave the old boy, but Marie was outstanding and kept Bentley safe and warm as well as providing a constant presence. Marie is a neat and conscientious house guest and I would not hesitate to ask her back again.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Shannan! She stayed in our home for three weeks to take care of our dog, Max, and we came back to the same tidy home we left — plus a happy, well-cared-for pup. Not only did she keep Max loved and comfortable, but she also worked on some training with him, which was such a pleasant surprise. Shannan kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, so we always felt connected while we were away. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible dog sitter.”

I can easily crate your dog if needed whether at night or certain times during the day.
“Rachel was a wonderful sitter for our dog Moose. She took the time to do a meet and greet prior to watching him, was great at communicating during the visit, and sent lots of sweet pictures.”
“Bre is the sweetest and my pups were so very happy with her! It’s so nice to come home from a trip and have happy dogs and a clean house! Will be booking with Bre again!”
“We used Ariel’s services for a last minute booking and she was so wonderful with all 4 of our dogs. She was tremendously helpful and we really appreciate her professionalism!”
“As always, Haley did everything asked of her and more. She provided tons of photos, updates, and even gave Sally a bath after she went for a little swim in the woods! Sally seemed very fulfilled once I got home and the house was left in great condition. Thank you Haley!”

“Raven to the rescue! Enzo had a rough night due to his advanced age, but Raven was a blessing. Enzo was cared for throughout the ordeal. We couldn’t have felt more confident! Thank you!”
“Zoe took great care of our pets, followed their care instructions, sent plenty of photos, and left the house in good shape too. We know our dog and cats enjoyed being under her care and were happy & healthy upon our return. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Megan M gets an A+++ from Milo and Mo. Why we love Megan - she is super nice, reliable, smart, trustworthy, very neat, follows instructions, sends great videos, photos, and messages - Milo loves her, my neighbors are asking about her, and she took great care of Milo. What more could I ask for while I was away.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter than Heather. Not only was she able to accommodate caring for our pets for an almost 3 week vacation, she also took care of all the other little details we requested such as getting our mail, taking care of package deliveries, bringing the trash and recycle bins out each week and managing to return the house cleaner than we had left it. This was a very time consuming engagement for Heather as we have 2 cats and 2 large dogs. Both dogs needed extra care in regards to medical conditions and Heather made sure all their needs were met both efficiently and with wonderful attention to playing with the dogs. She even brushed them. Throughout our vacation, Heather kept in daily contact with updates on how all the fur babies were doing as well as lots of pictures and videos. Heather is a gem and I wouldn't hesitate to call on her again the next time we go on vacation. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a caregiver for their pets.”

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 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 Albion 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 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 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 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 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
