“Daniel was great. Our fur babies were kept on their schedule and given lots of love. I also appreciated the pictures Daniel sent to show how they were doing. Would definitely ask Daniel to look after our dogs again.”
“We went out of town just after Christmas and needed a dog sitter. We were very pleased to come home to a happy, healthy pup, we had great communication the whole time and received a set of pictures and updates every evening. We will be using Maria Abigail‘s dog sitting service again!”
“Kimberlee was an excellent sitter for our two dogs. One of our dogs is very anxious and takes a long time to warm up to people, but she quickly warmed up to Kimberlee. Kimberlee kept our house tidy and even watered our plants. We would definitely book with Kimberlee again.”
About: With over 10 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I have developed a deep and compassionate understanding of animal’s needs and behavior! I am an owner of two dogs (ages 3 and 5), and will treat your fur babies as my own. They are truly a part of the family and should be treated as such! I have experience with puppies as well as senior animals and can administer medicine, help with training, and go on walks with them! I currently work four days a week but would be available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays to help out with your pet care needs! I am more of a home body on the weekends so I often do not have plans and would be able to care for your pets with no issues! There’s no better way to fill time than to take the best care of other’s pets! Animals mean the world to me and I aim to aid your animals in the way that you want them cared for. If they need to be crated, I can ensure that they are not in distress. If they have a special routine, I will make sure to adhere to that. I want your animal as comfortable around me as they’d be around their own family!
About: I have a lot of experience with various animals. I also take care of my 11 year old Shih Tzu who who is allergic to grass and has anxiety so I’m used to providing extra care. I am currently taking a break from school and I have a part time job so my schedule is pretty flexible for the most part. I have a pretty calm temperament so animals usually tend to get along with me, but I also can handle and control any unexpected situations that occur. I am pretty familiar with reading the body language of the pets to make sure they are comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cat and have even cared for older pets and pets with special needs and senior pets I have cared for pets that need medication and have worked for a vet I work from home and taking care of the pets are my only job and joy I take care of and groom them for work I have a nice place for them to play and lots of love and toys I also can help them be comfortable with me coming to play at there house
“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!!”
“Rebecca was absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of our three dogs and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated throughout the stay with plenty of photos and messages, which meant a lot to us. She was friendly, professional, trustworthy, and clearly cared about our dogs as if they were her own. It was obvious they were well cared for and getting lots of attention while we were gone. She even went above and beyond by keeping the floors vacuumed. We have a German Shepherd who is shedding quite a bit right now, and we came home to a house that wasn’t covered in dog hair, which was such a pleasant surprise. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be using Rebecca again in the future. Highly recommend!”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“Eric did a great job for us again! Dogs seemed well taken care of and happy when we returned home. Eric also took care of an unfortunate situation that occurred while we were gone with a smaller (non-canine or feline) pet in such a way that made it better for our family upon return. Overall, job very well done.”
“Claire was timely, professional, and a wonderful dog sitter for our 4 dogs. We booked her last minute and couldn't have been happier. She provided frequent updates and when we got home it was clear our dogs had been well loved!”
“Alexis was what I needed!!! She came on time! She did a great job communicating with me! She was very attentive to my fur son! She played with him, gave him attention, and was just there for him overall. She followed my schedule that I left for him, too! She returned my home to me the same way I’d left it for her, which was appreciated. She is truly a sweetheart and my son absolutely adored her! I’m grateful I took a chance, and will continue to use her services again as long as she’s on the platform.”
About: **Pick-up Time is 24 hours from the time you drop your pet off (A 2 hour grace period will be given).** I have been watching dogs for as long as I can remember. In my 40+ years, I have always owned a dog...from large dogs to small lap dogs and even cats. Each one is treated like my own. I work from home FT, so I look forward to the company. I'm an Air Force Veteran, therefore, you can depend on me to be loyal and dependable. I can assure you that I will treat your “babies” like they were my own; not only because I’m an animal lover, but because it’s how I want my “babies” treated while I’m away. In my home, I currently have an 8lb Maltese named Snoopy that I adopted 9 years ago. It is technically my 15 y/o's son's--but I think he likes me better =) There wasn't an option to select teenager for children in the home, but my son does help me out from time to time with permission from you, of course. The great thing about me is that I am very flexible. I can usually accept last minute requests that others cannot. For the first week, when walking your dog, I do try to spend a little additional time each visit with your pets (at no additional charge) just so we both can get acclimated to one another. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets and to create a lasting friendship with both of you! Im recently retired from the Federal government, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies. It also keeps me from getting bored and becoming a couch potato lol. I provide loving, reliable care by following each pet's routine, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of attention. I keep pets comfortable, safe, and happy while providing owners with regular updates.
“Our furr babies were well taken care of! They immediately loved him! He has such a loving heart for dogs!!! He sent us funny photos and let us know everything was going well! We really appreciate him staying in our home, and taking excellent care of our babies!”
“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. :)”
“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!”
“Kaitlyn was awesome! She stayed overnight in our house watching our dog and took great care of everything. She was very communicative prior to booking and sent daily updates while we were gone. I felt very comfortable having Kaitlyn watch our dog and would highly recommend her for anyone considering future bookings.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alcovy Forest
Felipe took care of our home and furry kids for almost two weeks, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He is incredibly responsible, dependable, and kind. Milo and Lulu clearly adored him—you could see it in the photos he shared with us. After reading his Rover reviews, it’s easy to see why Felipe is so highly rated. He is very respectful, neat, and tidy, and he kept our home in impeccable condition. He washed the bedding and towels used, which was such a thoughtful and much-appreciated gesture. Thank you Felipe! We were also lucky enough to spend some time with Felipe over a cup of tea or 2, and get to know him personally. He is a genuinely caring, smart and honest person, and we felt completely at ease knowing our home and furry kids were in his care. He is exactly the kind of person you want looking after your home and pets. In movie terms, I’d award Felipe an Oscar ⭐️

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 4,189 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
