“Keegan was amazing! We have a very nervous and dog-reactive German Shepherd, so we were worried about finding the right sitter. Keegan exceeded our expectations and took such great care of both of our dogs. She was patient, reliable, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We came home to two happy, well cared for pups and couldn’t be more grateful. We’re so happy to have found our go-to person for watching our dogs and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“I cannot stress how wonderful Maleka is with taking care of our dogs cats and home! She took every opportunity to help and went 110 % on all of it! If I could give 10 stars I would!”
“Wow, what an amazing experience my pets had with Natalie! My dogs and cat warmed up to her immediately. She was very communicative, played with them and even helped with training the puppy. She did an awesome job watching over the house. When we got home the house was clean and tidy. It was a relief to find someone so trustworthy. We will reach out to Natalie any time we go out of town and, fingers crossed, hire her for dog training. 10/10 experience and an even better person!”
About: I grew up around many animals, especially dogs! Breeds I’m most familiar with include shar-peis, pitbulls, rottweilers, and German shepherds! I’ve also taken care of bunnies, guinea pigs, leopard geckos, and bearded dragons, so no pet is too much for me! I just graduated university and am looking to return to university online to get a second bachelors degree, so I currently am not looking for a job and instead would love to be able to get out of the house and boost my serotonin by meeting people’s pets! I love cuddling with pets and seeing their personalities start to shine through as they get more comfortable! I love taking dogs on walks, seeing how long it will take a cat to choose to sit with me, and holding reptiles for as long as they like! Just being around a person’s pet while their owner is away makes me feel great since I know I’m giving the owner peace of mind while making a new friend.
“Victoria is amazing! We were struggling with leaving our fur babies for a week, but Victoria put our mind at ease. She took such good care of our babies and home. When she stopped by to drop off the key all of our dogs (3 of them) were excited to see her again. To top it off, she is just a genuinely amazing person that is kind and trustworthy. We will absolutely be using her in the future.”
“Emma took excellent care of our cats!!! This is our second time using her and we already have her booked for an extended trip this summer. She has an easy, relaxed, and calming presence. This is a perfect for our slightly anxious cats.”
“I went out of town labor day weekend leaving my two dog s at home instead of putting them in lodging. This is the first time I had Stephanie stay at my house with my dogs. Everything went very well. They were treated well and had multiple outings to the dog park without incident and the house was clean when I returned. I will definitely hire Stephanie again to care for my dogs.”
“Beth took great care of our dogs and our home and she communicated regularly so we never had any worries about how her stay was going. We definitely hope to book her in the future.”
“Robin cared for our dogs, one of which is a slow moving and sometimes grumpy senior, and our home. We were very happy with her care, communication and attention to our requests. Highly recommend her!”
“It’s always stressful leaving your fur babies with someone new. Amber set up a meet and greet to go over their needs and quirks. Initially they are scared of everyone and bark a lot. In almost no time, Amber had bonded with them. We appreciated the updates, pictures and occasional package retrieval off the porch. Amber is always prompt with her responses and very flexible with your pets needs.”
“Erica was awesome! She did a walk-through with us using the video chat feature in Rover, which worked really well. Erica did everything we asked, sent us pictures of our doggies and left our home just the way we left it. It was like no one was here. I will definitely book her again. Thanks, Erica!”
About: Hi! I have had over 10 years of experience with my own fur babies. Both of my girls have crossed the rainbow bridge but we got to enjoy their golden years together, going for walks and soaking up the sun. As my dogs got older I became a pro in distributing oral medications and eye drops. Roxy (my Shih Tzu) also became blind and deaf so I have experience with those disabilities as well. I give exceptional belly rubs, & will give these babies compliments all day long. I do work full time, but I have a pretty flexible schedule. Saturday - Monday my availability is pretty open. Tuesday - Friday I would be available after 5pm. My neighborhood has wonderful with walking trails that we could explore. I also live next door to my aunt who has a super friendly Corgi and is always looking for friends to play with. I do love to snuggle up with a pup on the couch or bed, but do have space for a crate if that would be more comfortable for them.
“Vanessa did such a great job watching over our home and fur babies! It was such a relief to know that my two cats and two dogs were taken care of while our family was away for a wedding weekend. Would definitely bring Vanessa back again.”
About: I have been pet sitting for two dogs for the past 10 years. One is a 100-lb. yellow lab and the other is a 30-lb. Shiba Inu. I have watched both of them when they were sick as well. I play with them and stay for a while petting and cuddling them. I have had small to medium-sized dogs, kittens up to adult cats, fish, birds, rats, hampsters, and snakes. I currently have two bearded dragons and I frequently watch one dog and 2 guinea pigs. I live in a mother-in-law apartment connected to my daughter's home and we have a fenced back yard and miles of walking trails. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly. My daughter has one dog who loves to be around other dogs. Since I have my own apartment connected to the house, any dog I board can mingle or not depending on his/her social needs. I am a nonsmoker and am available seven days a week. I am able to board up to 2 dogs. Thank you for your consideration! As I am semi-retired, pet care fits in anywhere needed into my daily and weekly schedule. The pets in my home are part of the family so their needs are always met. Since my kids are grown, I enjoy having pets around to keep me company. I am able to care for pets in my client's home or in my home. When caring for pets in my client's home, I let dogs out twice a day or walk twice a day, check water and food, clean up where needed, give medication if needed, groom if needed, and play for awhile so they have some human interaction. I am able to watch cats in my client's home but I can watch dogs in my home as well. I can watch reptiles in my client's home or in my home if client has a travel setup. For cats, I also clean out their litterbox. At my home, dogs are let out several times a day as I have fenced back yard. For dogs who need more exercise, I walk around the neighborhood. I can run for short distances with them and play fetch and tug-of-war in the backyard. I have 2 bearded dragons. For them, I make sure they have a salad daily and insects 2 to 3 times a week. My dragons go to the bathroom in the shower so they are put in the shower at least every other day. They get UVB light for half the day and I allow them to free roam in separate rooms the other half of the day. They also have a climbing wall up to the window so they can bask in the sun and they take turns riding in the car.
“Ukaesia did a great job taking care of our senior cat. He has medicine to take everyday and she provided it daily with no issues. I received a photo each time she was at the house and she followed everything I needed her to do with our litter box. I highly recommend her as she is super to work with, communicated clearly and provided excellent care.”
“Thank you so much for taking such sweet care of our fur babies! Our little ChiChi was diagnosed with Addisons just the week before and was very ill. We came home to a very happy boy who had gained nearly all 9 pounds of his weight loss back! Thank you!!!”

Shayla watched our two dogs for 4.5 days and house sat. She was very responsive, attentive and great with our two boys (lab and aussie). We felt good knowing our furbabies were in good hands while we were away. I would recomment Shayla to anyone who needs a reliable and compassionate dog/house sitter.
We feel so fortunate to have found Ashley to take care of Leo, our bernedoodle, 7 months old. Ashely is a true dog person with a long history of compassionate, dedicated, and professional care for dogs, including rehabilitating dogs who've been traumatized. What a big heart she has, and rare and special skills. Our Leo stayed with her for 12 days when we travelled. He had a great time playing with Ashley's other dogs and cared for by Ashley's family--a "team effort," as she puts it. Amazingly Leo came home with better puppy manners. He learned good things at Ashley's house! We are really grateful to Ashley for taking such great care of Leo. He clearly had a wonderful doggie time.
Jazmyne did a great job with my senior cat. He gets very nervous when his mama is gone, but knowing Jazmyne was there gave me great comfort. She gave me daily updates and sent pictures, so I knew how my boy was doing each day I was away. She followed my directions to a tee, and kept me informed when anything seemed out of the ordinary. As a bonus, my house was spotless when I arrived home, which was SO nice to come back to after being gone for an extended weekend. Don’t hesitate to book with Jazmyne; she is very conscientious, and clearly loves the animals she cares for as if they were her own.
Amber provided stellar pet/house sitting services. We especially liked her lightening fast responses to our messages, her attention to our special requests, and her constant presence on our property. Our dog was happy and our house was in perfect order upon our return. We will seek her services next time for sure!
If we could give 10 stars, we would! Ashlee went above and beyond taking care of our dog while we were away on vacation. She had great communication, sent tons of pictures and took exceptional care of both our pup and home. On top of that, she was more than willing to extend her stay due to travel complications. We will be repeat customers and are so happy we found her!
Koresa was great. Very communicative. Billy had some medical issues that were unfinished before we left. Koresa was able to get him to our vet & complete his round of medication. We returned to a happy healthy dog . Koresa is very mature & responsible, We highly recommend her, & hope to have her come again in the near future.
Cayan is literally our pup’s favorite person! He does a happy dance as soon as he sees her! She has watched Coop multiple times and always give us a peace of mind he’s safe and well taken care of. She also always takes fantastic care of our home. We appreciate her oh so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Alderton is $63 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $139 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 6,853 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alderton. 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 Alderton 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 Alderton 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 Alderton 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
