“Daniel is a rock star dog and house sitter! He took great care of our two dogs over the Christmas holiday and sent us updates with photos twice a day. When we returned, the house looked just like we left it and our dogs were happy and looked well cared for. We definitely plan to contact him for any future dog sitting needs.”


About: I've had dogs and cats and been taking care of them since I was a a kid. Recently had to put my dog down due to cancer, and my grandmother is allergic to pet hair so I'm looking for another way to connect to pets until I can get my own again. Currently not working so unless I'm on vacation and out of state, I have a pretty open schedule. Willing to spend nights or extended stays if discussed and I can make it work. Willing to do whatever works for your pet and their routine, previously had a dog with stomach and skin issues so I have experience with different responsibilities.
“Maria is the best! She house sat Christian while I was away on a trip for a week. She attended to him & his special needs while providing updates. Videos, and photos. Not only was Christian well taken care of but upon returning my home was nice & clean how I left it! Highly Highly Recommend”

“Donnis took great care of our Honey Bun and our home while we were out of town for a week. This was our first time doing either and we didn’t know what to expect. She sent updates and pictures twice daily and that helped the whole family feel comfortable that Honey was being well taken care of! We will definitely reach out to her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was little, including my own pit bull and shih tzu. Having experience with both high energy and low energy dogs has taught me how to adjust my care to fit each pup’s needs. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide loving attention to their pets. Whether your dog needs active playtime or a calm, cozy companion, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m available throughout the day and week. This allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care whenever they need it. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their routine the same so they feel comfortable and secure. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of walks or playtime, and always have fresh water. I’ll also give them lots of love and attention, and I’m happy to send photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Aaliya was awesome per usual. It was so incredible to be fortunate enough to have her again. Someone that knows our routines and little quirky and comical personalities of the furbabies. Her memory retention is impeccable & talking to her is like speaking to an old friend. I'm almost jealous seeing all the cute pictures and videos that she sends of them hanging out just having fun. It's definitely a piece of mind for me and an enjoyable occasion for the pups having her as their housesitter and friend.”

“Kaitlyn is amazing!! She went above and beyond to get my little boy to eat. He’s very attached to me and when I’m not around, he will just lay in the bed. She went above and beyond and brought the food to him to make sure he would eat. She stayed in communication with me while I was gone and provided pics of my baby. Very happy with the service and will use her again.”

“I highly recommend Eric! As a pet sitter myself, it’s tough leaving your beloved animals with someone else, but Eric took wonderful care of our two rescue dogs and one rescue cat. He provided daily updates with pictures … and we came back to happy animals and a clean home😊 Do yourself a favor and book him!”


“Desiré took good care of my puppy she was left alone at home sadly we forgot to refill her food container plus we temporarily lost the key so she was left with no security at home. I’m thankful I was able to find her and got a response immediately and came home fed her and took her for a 4 walks! Stayed 5 hrs while we were away. Thank you so much for your service!”

“There aren't enough wonderful things to say about Edith and my experience with her when she recently took care of my two dogs and my house for five days. From the minute I reached out to her she responded almost immediately and made me feel that she was open to help in any way. She was punctual for our 'meet and greets', and my dogs loved her the minute she came through the door. While I was out of town I was totally comfortable knowing that my dogs and everything they needed was taken care of. Edith is extremely knowledgeable about animals. Since one of my dogs is a senior, she needs extra care with meds and slower walks. Edith handled her with so much tenderness and understanding. I knew that my home and dogs were in the best hands with Edith. I cannot recommend her enough! She is exceptional. Thank you, Edith!”

“We Loved having Kimmie take care of our fur baby! What a peace of mind knowing someone was there tending to all her needs! We will use her again next time we need someone to watch our girl! Thank you!”

“Ariel was an absolute delight. We met her prior to the visit and could tell right away it would be a great couple of days. We left two pages of notes and it didn't bother her one bit 😆 Super professional. She showed our babies all the same love they're used to.”


“Perfect! Our sweet fur babies were cared for so wonderfully, Yi sent many updates and pictures of our 3 boys and they seemed to enjoy her company as well. This was our first time using rover and we were so glad with who we allowed in our home and around our fur babies!!”

About: What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for pets of different ages and temperaments, including puppies who need consistency and training reinforcement, as well as senior pets who require extra attention, medication reminders, and a calm environment. I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates, photos, and detailed care notes so owners have peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. I’m currently new to the area just relocated from the beautiful San Diego California. I’m enjoying then change of environment, weather but mostly the new fur buddies I’m making 😊 Trusted pet care ❤️ I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, exercise, administering medications if needed, and providing plenty of attention and affection. In a client's home, I respect the pet's environment and maintain their schedule while keeping owners updated with photos and messages. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly space with close supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of love and companionship. My priority is ensuring every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I’ve had pets since I was young. I love petting animals and playing with the. My family and friends have depended on me to care for their furry friends for them while they were out of town. I am available each day to do a drop in visit. I have a part time job as a baker as well, so some visits might be before and/or after. I can do late/early visits as well as overnight! I love taking dogs on walks. In a client’s home, I treat everything with the upmost respect and care for fur babies as if they were my own! I have a truck that I can drive your doggie to the park in.
“Lillie did a wonderful job caring for our dog. She kept us informed on how he was doing and their activities together. She also kept our house as clean as we left it! We will definitely ask her to care for our precious Cheo again!”


“Words do not express how grateful I am for Temi. I was a first time Rover user, for an overnight stay for 5 days. I have two dogs that vary in temperament. We originally were simply going to board our dogs at a local pet “hotel”. These plans fell through, and we decided to give Rover a try. From the moment Temi decided to accept our overnight booking, she was VERY professional and personable. She asked all the right questions to understand how to best support our two fur babies while we were out of town. Her communication is TOP NOTCH, and she continued to update us via the APP. It felt good to get pictures and videos, which confirmed our first babies were happy and well cared for. Temi is amazing because she immediately caught on to helping our younger fur baby with improving her leash manners. In today’s society it’s not always you find someone who goes above and beyond. Temi did, and I am so appreciative that she accepted our booking. She will now be our go to for any out of town visits. Thank you 🙏🏾 so much Temi!!!”

“Laura was phenomenal. It was a last minute booking and she went out of her way to make our life easy while I’m out of town and my husband having a changing work schedule. She was an extra hand that adapted to changes quickly which we both appreciated.”

“Amy was very deligent, communicative and went beyond my expectations. She walked my dogs, she sent pictures and would keep me posted whenever she would get home or would leave. I felt very blessed to have found her. She’s a gem. I will keep calling her for future sits. :)”

FAQs for House Sitting - Alcovy Forest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Alcovy Forest on Rover is $48.15 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 4,203 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alcovy Forest. 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 Alcovy Forest 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 Alcovy Forest 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 Alcovy Forest 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.
