Jessica cares for Buddy so well! He gets lots of play time. We suspect he might actually look forward to his play dates with her which makes leaving to go camping feel less stressful knowing he's having some fun too!

About: I have been sitting for animals on the side for about 3 years. I am currently attending school for pre veterinary science! I adore animals, my background lies within cats mainly but adore dogs and have testimonies from friends and family who report reliable care, thorough communication and attention to detail! I would love to sit for your cat or dog while you enjoy time away!! I manly handle weekend getaways or short trips! We can work out a flexible price that works for the both of us! I’ll meet you where you’re at. I will be free most of the time during the summer from May-September! I love when my pets sleep with me, cuddle and love to play! I cannot get enough belly rubs or tug of war time with my pups and quiet lap time and zoomies with my kitties! I will make sure your pup or kitty is enriched at all times while maintaining a healthy balance of rest and hydration.

Eric took such good care of my dog, going above and beyond when I needed help. He even stayed longer when I was going to be home later than expected. Would recommend to anyone.

About: I’ve been taking care of all different kinds of pets since I was 10, specifically many dogs. I’ve also fostered/trained multiple foster dogs for the past 6 years and cared for my senior dogs and dogs with medical needs as well. I used to have 3 of my own but now a single dog owner to the most welcoming dog who loves to be around other dogs. If I’m not fostering or foster sitting, I’d love to sit for you and care for your pets! I do work, but have flexibility in my schedule to meet different needs. I’ll try to ensure we can keep your pets on their normal routines. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of space to run around and a loving dog who’s used to welcoming all pets and humans. She’s also used to sharing all her things. Proper introductions always required.

Mary is wonderful! My pup was so happy to meet her and she handled him perfectly (he’s a bit of a tank and can knock you down if you’re not paying attention) Mary was perfectly comfortable with him and I left feeling assured my furry best friend was in good hands.

About: I’ve been a dog owner since 2020, when I got my first dog as a puppy. Since then, I’ve learned firsthand what it takes to raise, train, and care for a dog from a young age. I currently have two dogs and they’re a big part of my everyday life! I’m a senior in high school with no extracurriculars during this season, which makes my schedule very flexible. I also have my own transportation, so I’m reliable and easy to coordinate with! I take safety seriously and always make sure dogs are supervised and comfortable. I follow all instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and pay attention to behavior to make sure each dog feels secure and stress free.

Kevin did such a great job looking after Hazy! She is very shy and he took the appropriate care and she warmed up to him! He listened and paid attention to details and kept us updated. We are very appreciative of all of the care and effort he put into it. We would highly recommend Kevin for any of your pets needs!

About: Growing up my family had 3 pups of our own and we also fostered, so i started learning how to work with and train dogs very early on. In 2022 I started dog sitting for people in my neighbourhood. In 2024 I worked at a daycare where I started doing training sessions for some of our clients. By 2025 I got certified in pet CPR and first aid, and started working at a different daycare. I love learning about and working with dogs, and i can’t wait to meet yours! I use a training/care style that makes trust and teamwork between me and your dog, i understand that when setting new expectations or training a new skill it is up to me to help the dog understand, not get frustrated or scare them into submission. I believe patience and consistency are keys to success! I am pretty much fully available weekends, mondays, and tuesdays! Any other day of the week i am available after 6pm when i get out of work. I do not pet sit in my own home because i have 2 disabled cats, however I am willing to stay in your home to pet sit, or just stop by throughout the day/night if that is what you prefer! I can work with any of your dogs special needs and administer medications. Your dogs safety and comfort are my top priority, tell me what you need and I will make it happen!

About: I've been around animals ever since I was born (dogs, guinea pigs, cats, hamsters), and I've taken care of pets for 20 years. As a kid, I pet sat consistently for many neighbors down my block. I love animals and care deeply about every pet's well-being. Animals make me genuinely so happy and any chance I get to be around them, I'll take it! I currently work full-time with 3 days in the office and 2 at home. I am available evenings (5:30pm and on), mornings (6:00am to 8:00am) and I am flexible on the weekends. I will work hard to accommodate your schedule--so just send me a message and we can chat! Thank you for considering my services. I am most available on the weekends but can accommodate days during the week as needed as I do work from home 2 days a week. I am currently only doing drop-in visits for 30-60 minutes or weekly walking. I am not doing overnight or full house sitting at the moment. I will ensure the best care for your pet in their home by spending time with them, giving them the proper attention they need and, making sure they feel comfortable with me there! You will never have to worry while they are in my care. I will pay special attention to older dogs and dogs that need medication.

Elisabeth was excellent with our senior pup Simba! He took a liking to her right away and she was able to maneuver him into his harness and take him up and down the porch steps easily. Quick, communication, reliable, and kind. Will definitely call on Elisabeth in the future!

About: Here for all the walks, attention and care you need! Hi I am Celina W. I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and been a hands-on, reliable pet sitter for friends and family since I was a teenager. As a dog mom to a German shepherd (Loki) and Malinois mix (Meelo), my experience with working breeds makes me a perfect fit to handle even the most energetic of dogs. If there are any behaviors or manners you are working on with your pet, please let me know and I will work with your pet on skills! My shitzu-yorkie Stella had puppies in my closet when I was a teenager, so I have hands-on experience handling dogs from birth- golden years. I have even rescued cats from a burned house and was able to foster and rehome them. I’m the kind of sitter who gets down on the floor to play, encourages enrichment activities and treats your pets like the unique little personalities they are. Whether it’s energetic playtime, calm companionship, or sticking to a careful routine, I show up with matched energy, patience, and genuine care. If your pets love affection, silliness, structure, or all of the above, they’re in good hands with me. If you have other critters or small pets in your home, I am sure I can assist you. Let's start a great long-term relationship! I am recently resigned teacher who is looking for fulfillment in life and currently in-between jobs. I am trying to build up my pet base so I can pursue this full time. I have plenty of time to play and care for your pups and/or cats/ small animals and will be fully engaged. I have open availability; I am also looking for long-term clients! Pet care will have to occur at the clients home and/or surrounding area. I can provide all necessary care and stimulation at your home. I am here for you and what you need. Preferrably the client would provide the leash and waste products. Depending on your comfortablility I can take your pup on scenic walks / jogs in the neighborhood or nearby parks. My client and aunt has a big dog that is a gentle giant if your dogs ever need some social interaction.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Alden on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,004 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Alden. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Alden stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 89% 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 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.
