About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 10 years old. I have taken dogs for walks, overnight care, administer medication, follow feeding times and making sure that the fur babies are well taken care of. I have a flexible schedule. I can spend most of my time taking care of your dogs. I am available Friday evenings through Sunday nights. I make sure to read over the guidelines from my clients and how they prefer their dogs to be cared for. Let me know if their special care needed.
“Brianna stayed at our house for 3 nights, watching all 3 of our dogs. They are big dogs who are not used to a lot of people and she was absolutely awesome with them! She was very good with communication and responding quickly. We really felt safe and confident in her abilities to take good care of our fur babies while we were out of town. I would highly recommend her!”
“Mateo was geear and professional to work with. He was able to come by multiple times a day to check up on Domino and provide him the care he needed! Would recommend to friends and family!”
“Catecha was wonderful in every way. Our dog took to her immediately and they obviously fell in love. We were nervous because Roki had NEVER in his 14 years stayed with anyone he hadn't known all his life. Catecha. Sent photos and reports almost every day We highly recommend Catecha and will ask for her if we have future dog free trips”
About: With 11 years of dedicated ownership, I offer a level of intuition and patience that only comes from a lifetime of love. I specialize in recognizing subtle health cues, managing unique temperaments, and providing the mature, reliable care your dog deserves. I don’t just watch dogs—I understand them. Pet care is the heart of my day, not just a task. My flexible schedule allows me to offer undivided attention during mid-day walks or late-night snuggles. I treat every visit as an opportunity to provide the consistency and companionship your dog craves, fitting seamlessly into our shared routine I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room to run around. I also have a chair in the living room that is specifically for pups!
About: I’ve had pets for most of my life. I’ve helped with many animal rescue missions by offering my home to them, helping to groom and feed them, and helping want to be owners find great matches. I work full time on M-T! My work allows for a very extended morning, breaks in between my clients and an extensive night. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping them comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any other care your pet needs. I’ll give them plenty of attention and affection while also respecting their individual personality and boundaries. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, visiting parks, and giving them new, positive experiences when appropriate. I’ll also treat your home with care and keep you updated throughout my visit so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I also live in a gated community with a dog park, convenient waste bags, and a spacious neighborhood that provides a comfortable and welcoming environment for pets when they’re in my care.
“Kira was EXCEPTIONAL and EXCEEDED my expectations in every way. She obviously loves animals and my four dogs absolutely loved her. They all vied for her attention and her positive energy satisfied their demands. She is more than just a dog "sitter." She engages and "plays" with the dogs and they love it. I was very detailed in my requests regarding their care and she was eager to know what I wanted and met their needs beautifully. I had to be gone for four days to visit a very sick friend going through a bone marrow transplant and it was such a blessing to know my dogs were in such trusting, professional, and capable hands. Kira also took great care of my parrot, Buddy. Kira keeps a smile on her face and is very kind and sweet. She communicated with me while I was away and sent pictures of my dogs enjoying themselves. I returned to a home that was as clean as I left it, with a freshly made bed. I will use Kira and only Kira, if she is available. I selfishly and with hesitation HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND Kira for anyone looking for a dogsitter, because I want to keep her schedule open for when I need her. :) She is definitely a 10/10.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of hands-on experience, patience, and genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable working with dogs and cats of all ages, and I have specific experience with both puppy training and senior pet care. I am Currently Working from home so I am readily available! I also Have pets of my own so I am used to taking care of my animals and my adopted babies( your pets) on a routine schedule! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their pet’s routine consistent. I follow all instructions exactly—feeding, medication, walking routes, crate or bedtime routines, and any training the pet is currently working on. I maintain a calm, respectful presence in the home, keep the environment tidy, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and confident that their pets are safe and happy.
“Great communication and I could tell from what they were saying about Roger that he was well taken care of and they were truly spending time with him. Will definitely book them again!”
“We are so happy that we found Heather. ❤she sent lots of pics and updates on our dogs 🐕. They seem very happy. The house was cleaner than I left it.we will definitely use her next time we travel.”
About: I love showing affection and learning new things and also being able to teach your dog new things. I’ve always been around dogs as a little girl and you understood that dogs have feelings needs just as much as humans do. I make sure I provide dogs with as much care as possible. I like taking walks, runs, and playing.. I’m usually available person.. I would want a bond with your dog and be able to be there for your animal anytime you’re not available to.. I will nurture your dog make them feel safe and be able to trust me.. I don’t have much of a special kills as far as teaching your dog how to do tricks lol but I can at least try. I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule.

“Nancy was awesome!! She and her kids took such great care of Destiny, and Destiny had sooo much fun with them. I received pictures and videos every day to prove it! Definitely will book with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of multiple different dogs, and cats at once. I’ve worked with elderly dogs and dogs who have needed medication as well. I'm available throughout the week so your fur baby will get lots of attention. I’m also available most weekends to pet sit as well! I have a big open yard perfect for your baby to run around in. I have one dog and four cats that are super friendly to everyone.
About: Hi, my name is Ashley, and I am a middle school educator. Outside of teaching and working with students, I have a huge love for dogs. I have three family dogs, two girls and one boy, and I truly enjoy each of their unique personalities. Funny enough, my boy dog’s birthday is the day before mine, so I always joke that we have the same personality! I have always been the type of person who instantly notices dogs wherever I go. Whether I’m walking around town or traveling on vacation, I’m usually the one saying, “Oh my gosh, look at that dog! I want to go pet them!” I even find myself feeling emotional when I see stray dogs because I wish every dog had a loving home. Animals bring so much joy, and being around dogs has always been something that makes me genuinely happy. I am currently a school teacher, so during summer break I have open availability and more flexibility to provide pet care throughout the day. Once the school year begins, my availability will mainly be during evenings throughout the week and on weekends. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I do my best to follow the care instructions provided by their owner. Pet care for me includes making sure they receive their meals on time, have fresh water, go on their daily walks or potty breaks, and get plenty of attention. I also love spending time playing, cuddling, and giving them affection so they feel cared for while their family is away.
About: I've taken care of my sisters dog many times also watched dogs for my mom's friend.I also worked with dogs at my school before so I've made sure to pay close attention. I just graduated high school. So I have a lot of availability to care for or walk your baby.I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need I don't have a fenced yard but I do make sure I pay close attention to your animals and I live in a safe neighborhood that's really quiet.
“This was our second time requesting Joanna's services to take care of our two dogs. She's always so kind and communicative. She made sure to send plenty of pictures and updates during her stay. She's also clearly a dog lover, as she takes such great care of our boys and they love her dearly. They're so comfortable around her. Our house was also in great shape when we got back. We couldn't ask for more & at this point she's really the only person we'd trust to take care of our dogs!”
“Shannon was great! I need someone in a very short amount of time and she was able to make it happen. Easy to get in touch with communication is outstanding. Our 2 goldens were loved on so much and very well taken care of while we were gone. Will definitely ask her to watch them again!!”
About: My love for animals started when I worked at an animal shelter. I’ve had reptiles, cats, dogs, birds, and even ferrets. I have over two years of housesitting/ petsitting experience. I currently work from home so I am available to sit in your home any day of the week. This ensures that your pet gets all the attention they desire. The only requirement I have is that you have home Internet. I would love for your pet to keep the routine that they are used to and in the home they are used to while you are away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Alcovy Shores
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Alcovy Shores on Rover is $32.1 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 523 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alcovy Shores. 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 Shores 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 Shores 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 Shores 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.
