“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.”
“Abby is amazing! She provided consistent updates and pictures while house/cat sitting. I never once felt uneasy or uncomfortable being away from my cats because I knew she was taking such good care of them. Even though my cats were too grumpy to fully engage with Abby, she respected their space and let them work up the courage to approach her. She also left our home very clean and organized. We highly recommend her for some peace of mind. We’re looking forward to booking with her again.”
“Morgan took care of my 2 4 legged friends for 2 days. She was prompt and very communicative. I have one large dog and 1 small, very energetic, small dog that can keep anybody hopping. She handled them like a pro. Did a great job. She will be my first call any time I need someone to take of my best friends!! Strongly recommend her!!”
“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!”
“Alexis is an easygoing, fun-to-be-around lady. She listens, takes notes, asks specific questions and likes dogs even when they jump up and be rude. I wish I could hire her on a weekly basis to watch my babies, even without going on vacation, haha.”
“Kira never disappoints… I’m so blessed to have found you on Rover bc we never have to worry when you’re house sitting our baby Harlee.. thank you again for all that you do..”
“Jody is just terrific- experienced, detailed, great with animals. Our skittish cat took to her within a day. We were in regular communication while traveling, just the right amount. I highly recommend Jody !”
“She was so wonderful and great, especially dealing with our little rescue puppy who is not always the most friendly. The dogs were all happy and i received lots of photos of them all napping away…. if they were all napping then they were relaxed calm and good with her presence. She is super responsive and I will use her again.”
About: My family got our first dog when I was four, but I asked and received my own dog when I was 11. I was raised on a working farm, and the inside pets included non normative pets like mice, gerbils, guinea pigs, a ferrets, multiple dogs and cats. As an adult I've had the opportunity to care for multiple reptiles and snakes (frogs, toads, hissing cockroaches, tarantula, non venomous snakes, and leopard geckos) and also increased my knowledge of chinchillas, hedgehogs and many other non standard pets. I love all animals and my greatest strength is the vast array of knowledge and eagerness to learn and research better care for all species of pets! As of right now I am a recent transplant to Georgia and my current schedule is completely open. I am looking for both one time sitting opportunities and open to new repeat clients for business hours walks, potty breaks, med checks and feedings. I will always focus on making sure your pet is as happy and comfortable as possible. I personally have one dog who loves to meet other dogs, but is also happy being left to sleep in her bed all day. She is helpful for training reactive dogs as she doesn't mind noisy dogs and doesn't react to them at all. I love taking photos of dogs in their joy, so I will continually try to go the extra mile for your fur baby.
About: I love animals of all species- but dogs hold a special place in my heart! I have been dog-sitting for about 6.5 years now, and have enjoyed every furry visitor I've had. I just enjoy sharing space with them! I currently work from home, so I have the ability to give them all the attention they need and take them along for adventures (with permission). I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby and making an amazing connection with you both! In seemingly stressful or chaotic situations I’m able to maintain my composure. I find that my demeanor makes dogs feel comfortable and relaxed upon meeting them, so in-home check ins will be smoother for your pet and I! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, I look forward to providing excellent care for your beloved furry friend. I currently work from home, which allows a flexible schedule. I love having a dog over so I have more reason to take a walk. I have an open-space studio where they will be hanging out with me during the day. I always reach out to the client for a meet and greet to discuss their pet's behaviors and needs so I can adjust accordingly.
“Kaitlyn created the perfect environment in our home for our pups to feel safe and happy! It makes going away stress free. We look forward to having her care for our dogs again soon.”
“Eric was great with my two cats, one of which is very anxious and took some serious coaxing and warming up to get her out and about. He even bought them a laser to play with them as we did not have one ourselves (just other toys)! Eric left the house in good order and was very respectful of the space. He kept in communication with us, which was much appreciated as we were first time Rover users and have never left the cats for that long before. He was patient with us in that respect. :) Thanks Eric!”
“Fallin is wonderful! She kept us updated the whole time. Our dogs were well cared for and loved while we were gone. When we got home, the house was spotless! Would definitely recommend!”
“Emily was wonderful. Came home to a clean house too! Millie and Layla were happy to see me but they were content with Emilie and that made me happy! She was great with photos and extremely competent with my babies! Cannot recommend her enough”
“Debora exceeded all expectations! Her care for our cats was exceptional, especially her gentle approach to medication administration and her patience with our shy ones. The detailed updates provided wonderful peace of mind. We returned home to happy, healthy cats and a perfectly maintained house. Debora is simply the best!”
“I have booked with Donnis a couple of times. Shes friendly and professional. She's consistently on time, and leaves my home clean and in good order. My pup is comfortable with her and I'd book 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.
“If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Leaving my dogs for a week was one of the hardest things because they truly are family to me, I joke that I treat them better than my children! From the moment we left, I knew they were in the best hands. Every single day, she sent detailed updates along with so many beautiful pictures that completely put my mind at ease. It was obvious from every photo and message that my dogs were not only being cared for but genuinely loved. She treated them as if they were her own, and that meant everything to us. Our home was well cared for, our dogs were happy, healthy, and relaxed when we returned, and we were able to truly enjoy our vacation because we never had to worry about them. She exceeded every expectation we had, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, compassionate, communicative, and will love your pets like family, look no further. We will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you for giving us complete peace of mind!”
“Mia was very attentive to our girls and took care of the house while we were away. Very communicative with updates multiple times per day together with pics and good questions about the dogs or the house (the power went out for an hour and the dogs caught a critter in the back yard). Mia was up front about her schedule and kept us up to date about her needs. Overall - the dogs loved her and we will work with Mia again if schedules work.”

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 4,210 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.
