As of now my schedule is very open I only have one client currently my kids in school husband at work I need new dog friends I treat my clients home with respect only going to where I've been instructed everything I need for the dogs is located always lock up
About: My family has owned dogs for my entire life, so my childhood was filled with taking them on walks. Over the last few summers I began walking other people's dogs, as well as assisting my sister with pet sitting as a way to save for college. Now that I'm in college, I decided to continue working with dogs as a way to get out of the house and get a little extra money. I am still attending classes throughout most of the week and I have other responsibilities in the evenings, but Friday through Monday mornings are usually open for me. I have dealt with dogs of all sizes and am generally strong enough to handle excitable dogs. I am willing to take alternate routes and of course I will always pick up after your pet. I give ample time for the dogs to explore their environment, especially if they rarely get out of the house.
About: I’ve taken Care of dogs my whole life and have now been doing dog boarding full time . Currently have one senior girl that we have in our home. Your pup would be loved taken care of and be given all the walks and treats you allow throughout their visit. I am working part time and would have plenty of time to tend to their needs. Feed them with whatever dietary restrictions you may have and normal potty breaks with space for back yard activities and dog walks I have a fenced yard and crates available if your dog needs it. If they are spending the night I have dog beds. They would have friends to play with that would require a meet and great
About: I've taken care of multiple types of dogs since I was 13. My families and friends have relied on me to take good care of their dogs. I also have been working with a doggy daycare for the past 2 years. I currently don't have a job and I'm only busy with school. I have a lot of time on the weekends and later in the day to be able to take care of your dogs. I will do whatever it is I'm allowed to do with your dog in your house. I will not put your dog in a crate while I'm there unless if they need to be.
“Asjah was great! She was super communicative even when her visit timing had to be adjusted because of work. She followed our instructions perfectly and most importantly our animals were happy, healthy and well cared for upon our return. I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Mckinnley has watch our 5 pet before, dogs & cats. She takes the time to hang out with them and sends us pictures. We appreciate all of her hard work. I highly recommend her.”
About: I love animals! It’s fun for me to get to meet your pet. I happily take care of dogs 25lbs and up. I have 3 dogs of my own. The youngest is playful and fun. The other two get along well with other dogs but are older. I can drop in on cats at your house. I work part time both at home and in an office. This is a part time addition to my life because I love to get to meet new pet friends and their parents. As a young child my first pet was a guinea pig named whiskers. You’ll see a pic of him and me in the photos. My family also had a dog named Pepsi who I loved playing with. In college, I got my first dog on my own. She was an Australian cattle dog / german shepard mix. She was strong willed and high energy like any blue heeler and she taught me a ton about caring for a pet. Before starting with Rover, I had helped friends watch their cats and dogs while they were on trips. We have a 5 year old shih poo, a 14 year old standard schnauzer and a 1.5 year old border collie mix. I’m familiar with high energy, intensity animals and those who need a slower pace. I’m interested in helping care for dogs in our home or cats in your home if it’s near where we live. I have a job that has a flexible schedule. I work some days all at home and others in an office. If your dog is active we will include them on walks and we have a split rail fence in our back yard. Pets can have roaming privileges around the house or be in a crate if that brings them comfort. Our dogs sleep in the bedroom with us mostly in their beds but occasionally on the human beds with us. We take regular walks and pets can go outside frequently. I will treat your pet to a fun stay at our house and send them home with you happy :)

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. Currently a full time pet sitter in another website platform with additional references. My speciality is deescalating, identifying triggers and managing anxiety. I have a neutral energy and understand animal energy, their nonverbal behavior; hence easily identifying their needs. My son who is now 25 Yrs old was non verbal for a long time and had high levels of anxiety (Autism spectrum). He taught me everything I know. I got trained in Applied Behavior Analysis which it is a blessing to have when being animals of all sorts. I am a semi retired insurance broker. Self employed and work remotely with a very flexible schedule to accommodate flexibility with drop inn visits, scheduling walks and overnight pet care. I offer flexibility in walking dogs and pick them up at hotels, resorts, as you attend important life events and have your furry animal well taken care of. Following pet routines are my highest priority for overnight care. It establishes emotional support and stability to a smooth transition in bonding and developing trust to reassure they are being taken care of.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,002 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Alden. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alden. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
