“Stephanie took such good care of my dog while I was gone for the week! She is very caring and provided me updates everyday. I would definitely book with her again”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, from dogs and cats to farm animals. I’m comfortable with pets of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with feeding, walks, playtime, giving pets attention and companionship, and keeping up with their individual needs. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple animals at once and have experience with livestock from showing sheep, so I’m not afraid of a little extra work! I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, and I enjoy making pet care a regular part of my day. I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, feeding, and giving your pets the attention they need. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I want you to feel completely at ease while you’re away. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, favorite activities, and any special instructions so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. In your home, I will respect your space, carefully follow your instructions, keep food and water areas clean, maintain litter box cleanliness, and make sure doors and windows are secure. I’m mindful of potential hazards and will never take unnecessary risks with your pet’s safety. I also understand that cats need patience and space to adjust, so I’ll let them approach me at their own pace rather than forcing interaction. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and messages while you’re away. I want you to enjoy your time away knowing your cat is safe, comfortable, and receiving attentive, loving care. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were part of my own family and every home with the same respect I would expect for my own..
“Debbie took excellent care of our dog and cats. She kept great daily communication, sent me lots of pictures and videos, the house was spotless…. Im so grateful with her, she really gave us a big peace of mind during our vacations. If we need to leave again, I will definitely contact her again. Thank you Debbie, you are a charm!!!”

I have an unfenced yard but dont mind letting your dog be on a lead or taking the pup for walks. I can host boarding or just daytime care. i work part time other than that i’m home most of the time :) easy and relaxed schedule makes it easy to properly care for pets i have an acre for dogs to run play and get exercise on the property. i also have dogs of my own who are friendly to keep your fur baby company.
About: I have been a veterinary technician for 3+ years and counting. We have had pets in our home since I can remember. I have grown up with the love and loyalty that our pets provide and is something that I cherish. I started pet sitting for coworkers and clients for about 2 years now. I love helping fellow pet owners with caring for their pets in a time of need. My favorite thing is gaining trust from pet owners and ensuring that owners have peace of mind when it comes to being away from their pets. Having the medical background that I do also helps to ensure that your senior babies are being taken care of properly. Pets are family. I am currently a full time veterinary technician and work all days (8am-6pm) except Tuesdays, every other Saturdays (only from 8am- 12pm), and Sundays. With my full time schedule, I make sure that a pets needs come first. I will only pet sit for pets that I can guarantee my utmost care. I house sit a lot as well so this is helpful with my full time job. I tend to pet sit close to my job so if I have to leave in the middle of the day to take a dog out, I definitely can. I make sure to follow all written or printed instructions to a T. I also make sure to stay in close contact with owners (not too close to ruin your vacation) to ensure that they are still at peace of mind throughout their time away. I also love to send photos of their pets while they’re gone so they’re not missing out on too much :)
“Hannah and Kristal were wonderful sitters! Going away and knowing your furry family members and your home are safe and cared for is such a relief, and Hannah and Kristal definitely made us feel confident and secure that would be the case. And they made our shy, skittish dog feel at ease, which is no easy feat! Thank you, Hannah and Kristal!”
“Danielle was absolutely wonderful with Lottie! We were gone for six days, and she made it so easy to actually relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Lottie and our home were in great hands. She sent us photos and updates throughout our trip, which I appreciated so much. We came home to a happy, well loved pup and everything just as we left it. We would absolutely trust Danielle with Lottie again and highly recommend her!”

Caring for pets brings me joy. My adaptable schedule means I can provide companionship, walks, and care throughout the week, tailored to your pet’s needs. Safety and trust come first.

About: Hi! I work remotely and plan on staying in Salt Lake City in the month of August-October. I’m available for house and dog sitting. I’m a huge animal lover and had a rescue dog of my own who sadly passed away last year. Since my work and travel schedule doesn’t allow me to have a dog right now, I truly miss being around them, which is why I joined Rover. My goal is to provide reliable, high-quality care and build lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. Thanks to my flexible schedule, I’m also happy to help with last-minute bookings whenever possible. I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I work from home so the dogs will always be next to me and won't have separation anxiety. I always make time to play and love taking dogs for walks! I have a fenced yard and one dog. There is a park near my house and I always make sure the dogs are on a leash and harness.
“Makenzie was great! She provided excellent care for my pups, sent updates throughout the day, and sent many pictures as well! I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.”
About: I'm a true animal person, and my home proves it. Sir Rocco, my 5-year-old Lab, is my shadow, and our three cats, Nala, Nico and Goldie, keep things lively. My favorite part of caring for pets is getting to know their little personalities: the dog who has to sniff every mailbox, or the cat who pretends not to care but always ends up in your lap. A while back I took in a scared, semi-feral kitten. It took time, gentle hands, and a lot of patience before he let me hold him, and now he follows me around the house. That's how I approach every pet. I let them warm up at their own pace, and I never rush a nervous one. I've cared for pets at every stage of life. I love the silly, curious energy of puppies, and I'm happy to reinforce their potty routine and good habits while you're away. Older dogs have a special place in my heart too. I'm happy to slow down for their pace, keep them comfortable, and give them extra love. I'm also experienced giving medications, whether it's a pill tucked into a treat or a set schedule, so you can trust your pet won't miss a dose. When I'm with your pet, they get my full attention. That means real walks, belly rubs, fetch, cuddles, whatever makes them happy. I'll keep their routine just the way you like it and send you photos so you can see them enjoying their day. I want you to come home to a happy, well-loved pet and feel completely at ease while you're gone. My schedule is flexible, which means I can work around what you and your pet needs instead of the other way around. Whether you need regular walks during the week, drop-in visits while you're at work, or someone to stay with your pet while you travel, just send me a message and we'll find times that work. I always give your pet unhurried, focused time, and I'll do my best to help with last-minute requests too. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable. I treat your home like it's my own: I follow your house rules, keep things tidy, and always lock up and double-check doors and gates before I leave. On walks, your dog stays leashed and close, and I keep an eye out for other dogs, hot pavement, and anything they shouldn't eat. At our Meet & Greet, I'll get your vet's info and an emergency contact so I'm prepared for anything. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind always come first.
“Cynthia was incredible! Very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos of our girl. This was the first time we have left our baby girl since the death of our other fur baby, Dexter, in December, so we were really nervous leaving her. Cynthia eased all of our nerves by spoiling our girl rotten, which I personally believe every dog deserves. Thank you, Cynthia, for loving on our fur baby so well. Will definitely be using Cynthia on a regular basis for doggy sitting.”
“Danielle was great with the pups. They really seemed to enjoy her company and reacted well to her, especially our more nervous dog. She has great dog energy. She is top-notch and we will use her if she is available for our next trip.”

About: Five years ago, my dog—a Golden Retriever—came into my life. I have extensive experience caring for pets, as I have looked after him since he was very young. Furthermore, many people often remark on how I interact with animals, noting that I am very affectionate and loving toward them. In addition, friends and people close to me frequently ask me to look after their pets, as I am always very attentive to their feeding schedules—and, above all, to their walks, which is every pet's favorite part of the day. I currently work part-time and am available from 4:00 PM onwards to care for your pets—whether for a walk or simply to provide them with companionship for a few hours or taking them out for evening strolls—as walking my own dog is already part of my daily routine. I am the owner of a five-year-old Golden Retriever who is very friendly and affectionate, so your pet will feel just as comfortable as they do in their own home.
About: I've watched family and friends animals for years. I love large dogs the most, but always down for a small dog cuddle. I am usually the first one to give attention to the animals when I walk in a home. Im experienced with young and older dogs, cats, birds and donkeys. I can do morning or evening walks. Some times i can do lunch walks as well, depending on how far you live from me. I can do house sitting as well. I enjoy taking walks with the dogs, giving lots of attention and playing fetch or having playtime with toys. I used to have my own dog, but due to a move, he went to live with a friend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,115 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alcoma. 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 Alcoma 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 Alcoma 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 Alcoma 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
