“The dogs loved her. Pinchie had not slept with me in over a week but she slept with Stephanie. That is a good sign that Pinchie felt comfortable with her. She kept me informed of how things were going, took them for a walk and received compliments from my neighbors who met her. I feel comfortable leaving my dogs with her in the future.”
“Kayla has taken care of our fur kids several times and we could not be happier! During her most recent stay, one of our pups became ill and she was extremely prompt in letting us know and did not hesitate to take him to the vet. We have older dogs that are pretty high maintenance and she always does an amazing job!”
“Kathy kept our 2 dogs for the day during our visit to LEGOLAND. She is a very nice person and her house is so warming. She is obviously an experienced dog keeper. Sent us pics during the day of the dogs which was very appreciated. We spent our day with no stress. Thank you !”
About: I’ve been surrounded by furry friends since I was young. I’m trusted by friends and family to take care of their pets while they travel or figure out life changes. I’m diligent about brushing, cleaning and snuggling-whatever your pup needs, I’m on it! I currently work full time from 9AM-5PM on a four day schedule. In the early morning’s and evenings I am available for walks, play time, training reinforcement, as well as clean up and any additional help needed while you’re away. During the weekends- I’m available all day Saturday-Mondays for walks and plenty of enrichment time! I have a highly energetic dog to keep your pet company! If your pet does not do well with other animals, I am happy to accommodate as needed. With plenty of parks and hikes in the area, I can assure you we’ll take plenty of walks. I will crate your pet if needed for their own safety.
About: I have experience caring for a variety of animals, including senior dogs; I have assisted in caring for our large-breed senior with cancer. I bring patience, reliability, and strong attention to detail to every visit, and I prioritize each pet’s comfort, routine, and well-being. I have a flexible daily schedule that allows me to provide attentive and reliable care for pets in my care. I plan my days around studying and part-time work, which gives me the ability to be present and consistent. Dogs in my care are always let out regularly throughout the day, and I make sure they get plenty of time for walks, exercise, play, and comfort so they feel happy and well cared for. For walks and drop-ins, I have good availability throughout the week and prioritize being punctual and consistent for every visit. I care for every pet as if they are my own, focusing on a consistent, calm, and comfortable routine. In my home, I have a relaxed senior dog, and pets are closely supervised with regular bathroom breaks, walks, and playtime. While I do not have a fenced-in yard, I provide safe outdoor time through leashed walks and visits to a nearby neighborhood dog park (with owner approval). I’m also comfortable caring for crate-trained dogs and following any specific routines. In a client’s home, I follow instructions closely for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, and playtime, and I always provide updates and photos so owners feel at ease.
“Just moved to the area and was fortunate to find Zoe to house sit for us during a short trip. Professional, sweet, kind and a great communicator. She left our home clean and our pets well cared for. We hope to have Zoe sit for us in the future.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Kamora! From the first day she met Dallas he took to her! He never takes to anyone so quickly but it was something about her that he sensed and it was a match made in heaven! She took very good care of him taking him on rides in the car to chasing him around the house. For 9 days I was able to enjoy my vacation with the assurance that my son was well taken care of. I highly recommend Kamora!!!”
“Kristina was an absolute rockstar with our fur babies!! 💜 I can't believe it was only her first visit, and she bonded so well with them😍. She's an absolute natural with animals, and a sweetheart. I wholeheartedly recommend her to everyone who wants the top level of care for their pets!!”
About: Hey! I have grown up with dogs, cats, and livestock and have experience as a vet tech. I would love the opportunity to care for your babies! I work from home October through April so have plenty of time to drop in to care for your animals. I also enjoy walking so would love to have you baby tag along for that. Currently have three dogs that go on two walks a day and have outside play time. I would treat your fur baby like it was my own, and of course send you plenty of pictures/videos.
“Here’s a smoother and more polished version that keeps your warmth and sincerity: I want to thank Brandee for taking such great care of Burton during his time with her! She was easy to communicate with, attentive to every detail I asked for, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. Burton absolutely loved her, and he can be very selective about people. This was the longest time I’ve ever been away from him, and all of the pictures and check-ins gave me such a sense of peace while I was gone. I’m so grateful for the care and attention she gave him!”
“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!”
“Shannon was fantastic! I’m so glad we got a chance to work with her. Her communication was excellent, she arrived on time (slightly early actually) had a wonderful attitude and gave Jax lots of love and exercise while we were gone. He was pooped when we got home! I would highly recommend working with Shannon if you need a pet sitter.”

“Awesome experience. My kitty Waffles is a shy, scared kitty around new people and has taken him days to interact with new people. Brittany got Waffles to interacts with her within a day and even seemed to be playful with her. I highly recommend Brittany and i will be using her again when i have the need.”

Taylor took such great care of my fur baby on a short notice… the week of a thanksgiving… and for nine days…and she couldn’t have been better!!! I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with Taylor and knew she would take great care of her! She provided morning and nightly updates with pictures and was completely understanding of all Rhine’s (my fur baby) quirks and needs!! Will 1,000% be asking Taylor to look after my girl again and I couldn’t be more grateful 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,106 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 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.
