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!!!”
“Madison spent this last weekend watching my two dogs in our home. She did a great job and the girls were very happy to have her stay with them. I look forward to using Madison's services in the future.”
“Mia was an excellent companion to my pups while I was out of town and showed them lots of love and attention to help ease their anxiety with me gone. She went by my house several times to let them out, feed them, and spend some time with them and sent updates and pictures every time so that I knew they were in great hands! I would 10/10 recommend Mia for all of your fur family needs and will definitely be using 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.
“Exceptional! First time I’ve left my animals with someone “not family “ and was pleasantly surprised. They loved her. She made everyone feel comfortable, cared for, spoiled and safe. Highly recommended from here!”
“Shey and Mason were fantastic with our elderly and very high needs dog. They got back to me very quickly every time I texted! They took care of everything I asked them to do and I didn’t need to worry about anything while we were on vacation. Both were fantastic! Will definitely use them again!”
“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!”
About: I’ve had two dogs for over six years that I have taken care of. I usually take care of my friends and families pets when they are out of town and I love both cats and dogs. I work at home now so I have my dog with me all day and I have the flexibility to be able to care for other dogs and take them on walks and feed them on their schedule. My dog is super friendly and loves other dogs. I can either have the dogs together or separate depending on your wants. I love to take my dog on 3-4 walks a day and I can do this as well. I live in a house with empty rooms for separating and have a decent size backyard. Your dog will have company with my little pomsky who loves to play with others.
“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: Working in veterinary medicine, I can understand basic animal needs and care. I have been taking care of animals for over 10 years. I will treat your babies like they are my own I work two jobs, both in opposite directions, so to be able to housesit. And given a good amount of time to request days off to give your baby my full attention I prefer housesitting over boarding at my personal home, it’s easier for me, and I feel like the pets would prefer their own home over anyone elses
“Mary is absolutely fantastic! We came home to a house cleaner than we left it and two very happy pups. We had some flight issues and Mary was willing and flexible to make sure our boys were taken care of. She communicated very well- sending us pictures and videos while we were gone. We won’t hesitate to ask Mary to help us out in the future!”

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
