This was our first experience leaving our three pups with a sitter while going on vacation. From our first meet and greet we knew Jessica would be a great fit for our crew. While we missed them while we were gone, we had no worries that they were being well cared for. Jessica sent messages to let us know how each visit went as well as a few photos from the visit. She did notify of some small issues (skin irritations,etc) and gave updates as needed. Jessica treated our pups as if they were her own and they loved her in return. She was also very respectful of our house and did extra little things that were greatly appreciated (rolling trash can up to garage and bringing in mail). We will be booking Jessica again to take care of our dogs in the future!

Jonathan was awesome with my dog Thor. Absolutely loved every picture he sent on all drop in visits with him while I was away for a weekend, Thor was always super excited to see him and it was like he had been taking care of him for years based on his reaction. Highly recommend

Our cat, Chumley, took to Madison right away. She has a wonderful kind and loving energy. We felt very comfortable having Madison come into our home while we were away. Madison sent us the cutest picture of Chumley while visiting with him. We are very pleased with her service and highly recommend her! Thank you Madison!!!

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 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.

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!

Christina is a very sweet girl. My 2 kitties went right up to her, Nala is a little shy but she loved her. Christina did an awesome job! I had to book at the last minute and she was able to accommodate us. I will be using her in the future. Many thanks to Rover and Christina for being there ❤️

About: My family has had dogs my whole life of different types and sizes, now I raise a mini Bernedoodle. I have taken multiple puppy training courses which I could apply to any age dog. I work in law enforcement. My schedule is flexible due to my job and I will update my availability ASAP according to my work schedule. I spoil my dog and will do the same for any that come into my home. No human food is my big rule. My Mini-Bernedoodle is just over one year now and raising her has been very rewarding. I have taken multiple training courses on training young dogs but could apply these concepts to any age dog. I have a good size yard which I am able to walk my dog around when she goes to the bathroom. My yard is 3/4 fenced in and my neighbor doesn’t have any pets.

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.

About: Hi my name is Samantha, I have a home I share with my toddler son and we have 1 pup. We have our 10yr old small spaniel mix, Daisy, that I’ve adopted from Texas. She gets along well with other dogs & loves to play. It was apparent that she never experienced her puppy days before our family took her in. I've had her for 8yrs now and she has become so comfortable and happy in her forever home with us and is very active. She loves to go out on walks and is an even better snuggler. I have had animals my entire life so I love to play, walk and go for runs with them. They have free-roam of the house and the fenced in back yard, and I'm ok with them on my furniture. My dog loves to walk when we can get out, but if not, she loves playing outside before I leave for work and as soon as I get home she runs the back yard. I work during the day M-F, however I work from home 2 days/week. I typically spend my nights home. I am in the military reserves so 1 weekend a month I am away from my home and try not to accept sitting during those long days. I would like more company for my dog as we recently lost her older fur-sister, this has been a transition for us all losing our sweet girl. I have plenty of toys and treats, and I ensure dogs always have free roam of our space. I would just ask that I'm made aware of any restrictions, allergies, behavior issues, etc. ahead of time. I will make sure your dog has the best service and attention in my home and will keep you up to date with their activities by texting pictures and video's through out their stay if you ever wanted! I work M-F, mix-matched teleworking days (flexible). I get up in the morning to let my dog play in the back yard, then she eats before I leave for work. We like to play in the back yard every 1-3hrs and we take breaks frequently so there would be some indoor and outdoor exposure for daily play (weather pending). My yard is fully enclosed so I like to bring my dog out with me to play, sniff, lounge and anything else. I have an outside pool that is for dogs so they can get water, play in it or lay down to cool off whenever they’d like. I have a fenced yard and a friendly fur baby to play with. I also have 2 crates available as needed if it’s a preference of yours. In your home, I can follow any instructions left to make sure your fur-baby feels as comfortable as possible at home in their space without you there.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Alden on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 956 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.
