“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Beverly stayed in our home for two weeks while caring for our three Golden Retrievers, and she exceeded our expectations in every way. She made sure they were well-fed, exercised, groomed, and received all of their medication, and it was clear they were happy and well cared for. Her communication was outstanding. She sent us updates and photos at least twice a day, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She also treated our home with the utmost respect and care. She is trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely loves animals. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter, and we would absolutely book her again in the future. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our dogs and our home!”
“Naomi took care of two emotional dogs. She came early to meet them and communicated when arriving and leaving our house. She also ran the dishwasher and stripped her bedding before leaving! Thanks, Naomi of taking care of them!”
“Our dogs are part of our family and we treat them as such. It was such a blessing to find someone who loves on them so sweetly. Jeff took such good care of them and gave them so much attention. We truly appreciate being able to leave our home confident that our pups are well cared for and protected. We will definitely use Jeff again.”
“Jill was wonderful! She agreed to watch our girls on short notice and was so accommodating with any changes along the way. She's very friendly, easy to communicate with, and took such great care of our pets. We felt at ease knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Emma was fantastic! We have five dogs and two cats and I was nervous about leaving the Country for a week. We definitely have a house full and Emma handled everything professionally and treated our dogs like her own. She was very communicative and set pictures often. The house was tidy when we got back and all of our pets where well taken care of. We would 💯 hire Emma again.”
“Olivia was great! She took excellent care of our pets and was very communicative throughout our trip. She was accommodating of their individual needs, and we came home to happy pets and a clean house. We'd definitely book with her again.”
“Marie was absolutely fantastic with my pets! She watched them over Christmas and was very communicative, sending photos and updates all throughout the day! I can tell my pets had a great time.”
About: Hello my name is Sarah! I have been pet sitting for 13 years. I worked at a vet clinic for a while and have a passion for all things animals from cats and dogs to reptiles and farm animals. I also worked on a ranch for about 3 years in Texas and cared for and helped train K9 dogs, so I definitely have some experience to give in that department if needed. Since I worked at a vet clinic I am also capable of administrating medicine if required as well. I hope this finds you well and you reach out to me to care for your furbabies! Hope to hear from you soon! I’m currently trying to make this my full time so I’m available when needed and have plenty of time to play and care for your furbabies! I will only care for pets in their own home as to not stress them out with unfamiliar territory and animals. They will be well cared for and get lots of walks, play time, and any additional care needs or instructions that you may want or need! I do require written care instructions as to have full communication of what is needed, I have found that it’s best for all parties just incase anything is not talked over during our initial meeting or conversations.
About: I’ve been trusted by neighbors, friends, and family to take care of, watch, check-on, entertain/walk, feed their pets since I was a kid. Just provide me with the instructions for your furry loved one and I’m at your service! I graduated with my PhD from the University of Tennessee in May 2026 and currently looking for jobs. So I’m home all day and available to take care of your pets at any time! I adhere to strict rules that clients provide me of how to take care of their pets and what to do in their homes. When I enter your home to take care of your pets, I start off with a warm hello to let your pets know I’m there and welcome them as they prefer (some like pets some like to be left alone!). I’ll entertain or stimulate your furry friends as requested. When I leave, I make sure everything is locked up and your furry friends are safe upon return. I also like to provide regular updates to clients to let them know their furry loved ones are taken care of!
“Cassondra housesat and watched our 1 yr old dog and 2 cats while were were gone for over a week- I was nervous as we had not been away from our dig since adopting her, and she has some anxiety. Cassondra took excellent care of all our animals, everyone was healthy and happy when we returned! She sent us regular updates and pictures, handled any minor things that happened, and left our house spotless. We will definitely be hiring her again!”
About: I’ve worked in dog daycare and boarding for six years as well as taking care of my pets. I also have some experience taking care of horses and sheep. I’m generally available weekdays from 11 AM–2 PM, with evening flexibility from 4–6 PM as needed. I’m also available on weekends. I have extensive experience caring for animals of all kinds, beginning in childhood, and I’m committed to providing your pet with attentive, dependable, and compassionate care.
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I bring calm confidence and genuine love to every stay. I also have hands-on training experience with several breeds — basic obedience, leash manners, and good house behavior, from spirited puppies to strong, high-energy dogs. I adapt to each dog's needs: daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, medications, and senior care with slower paces and special diets. Your dog will feel safe, understood, and truly at home with me. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I love long walks — your dog will get plenty of them — and I practice yoga daily, which keeps me calm, patient, and present. I'm here for morning outings, midday breaks, and evening wind-downs, with consistent attention, timely meals, and lots of companionship in between. In my home, your dog becomes part of the family. I work from home, so there's always company, regular walks, playtime, and a cozy spot to rest. I follow your pet's routine closely — feeding, medications, and house rules — so they feel right at home. In your home, I offer drop-in visits and dog walking: fresh food and water, potty breaks, long walks, playtime, and lots of affection, plus tidy-up and photo updates so you always know how they're doing.
About: I’m experienced in walking and playing with dogs in the evening. Don’t stress about leaving a dog in my care. They will be in excellent care and thoroughly entertained. I’m available after 5:30pm Monday thru Thursday. I have more flexibility on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I am a part-timer on Rover. I can walk, fed, and entertain your pet to make sure they are satisfied. My home is unfortunately not suitable for boarding pets on the regular. I am able to stay with the pet overnight at their home upon request.
About: I love animals and have grown up around them my whole life. I have watched and help train dogs from a young age. I have had experience with all sizes and breeds of dogs. I only ask that if the dog will be coming to my place, I would prefer they be medium sized or smaller since I live in an apartment without a backyard. But, don’t worry! There is a dog park right down the road! :) I also have 2 cats, so the pets coming to my apartment have to be good with kitties! I would love to meet your furry creatures and help take care of them for you while you are busy! I can’t wait to hear from you! :) I am currently a student who works part-time, making my schedule very flexible to fit all of your needs! For the most part, my schedule is very open and even when it is not, I am always able to move things around and make time for your furry friends! I have a large apartment in a very pet friendly neighborhood. I am close to various parks to take dogs on walks frequently. I have two cats but they have their own rooms in my apartment and will not be allowed near the other animals as a safety precaution. Your animal will get access to the main areas so that they consistently have someone near them.

FAQs for House Sitting - Alder Springs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 644 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alder Springs. 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 Alder Springs 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 Alder Springs 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Alder Springs 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 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.
