“Shelby is so kind and takes great care of our pups! We have worked with her a few times and both of our dogs are relaxed and happy when she is here. She handles our special needs dog with care and sends updates while we are away. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“She stayed in touch with many pics. Our 3 dogs are in great spirits. She even washed the bedding from our spare room. The one she used while dog sitting. We will try to use her again, granted schedules match.”
“Victoria is absolutely fabulous! My dogs adore her! She is excellent at communication and sending bunches of photos. She was also flexible with my schedule when I had to change the reservation at the last minute. I highly recommend Victoria!”
“Jazmine did a great job watching over my pets, she communicated daily activities and anything additional that had come up. I received daily photos of my boys and could tell they were well cared for when I got back. Will definitely be a repeating customer”
“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!”
“My dogs don't warm-up easily to new people but they both liked Kari. Kari played and walked the dogs each day. She sent me pictures of them daily which helped to elevate any concerns I had over leaving them.”
“We are so thankful for Victoria! She took care of our 3 dogs and home for a weekend and we trusted her through out our stay. We appreciate her communication and the time she spent with our dogs. Thank you Victoria!”
“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!”
“Mandi stayed with our two pets during an extended vacation. She provided regular updates and pictures. She was also graciously flexible when our return flights were massively delayed.”
“Nikki did a great job taking care of our dogs while we were out of town for a few days. She came over several times each day as scheduled, and spent time outside with them. She sent photos each time which was very appreciated! We were able to enjoy our time away knowing they were being well taken care of.”
“I don’t know if you’re able to review a person more than once. But I had Andrhu coming for drop in visits during my long work hours because he lives just a few blocks away. I noticed my cat who is 15 took to him right away and he paid attention to my very *particular* requests about her care. Not only did I have a significant increase in my cats level of calmness - but literally at the LAST minute I saw that the sitter I use when I’m out of town had left my cat alone for almost 24 hours. Then pushed he out of bed when the cat tried to ask for minimal attention. To say I was crushed was an understatement. I was in complete tears. I have a lot going on and am kind of a single pet parent until my husband can join me in the USA. Andrhu AGAIN was a god send. One one days notice I let the other sitter go home for personal reasons and Andrhu agreed to stay - he was with her most all day every day. I came home today, my cat happy, playing with a ball at 15 years old. And now I am comfortable purchasing a kitten to make her (and I) even happier. Knowing I have Andrhu close by - he’s SO flexible. He’s honest and communicates expectations clearly which I appreciate and respect. The amount of guilt I carry about leaving her is at a zero. Down from about 200 on my last vacation. And now with our new addition coming - I consider Andrhu to be part of my cat tribe to make sure they’re all ok. I don’t want him to get completely booked (selfishly). But this is the relationship I needed for my sweet girl until my husband is allowed to live here - and for every vacation after. I highly recommend treating him with utmost respect. I have a guest set of linens, towels and hope Andrhu will help himself to anything food or drink in my home. At this point my home is him home and even if we haven’t met he is cat-family. Hire him whenever you can. The compassion he shows to even old pets it unmatched. I’m almost crying tears of joy from having my anxiety so much reduced in this difficult time in my life.”
“Breanne was a superb pet and house sitter! From the moment I contacted her, she was consistently professional, reliable and communicative, sending me regular and detailed updates on how our fur babies were doing along with wonderful pictures. I was able to truly enjoy my vacation bc I could see that my pets were being loved on and taken care of. I came back to a clean and organized home with happy pets. I couldn’t have asked for more! I will most certainly be using Bree again!”
“Magda was amazing and took great care of my dog while I was on a business trip! She sent photos and videos of my sweet baby constantly. She stayed later than expected when my flight got in really late! She is kind and very loving to my dog! I highly recommend her!”
“Alice was a great sitter! She sent lots of photos and updates and left the apartment cleaner than she found it! I’d love to have her back to watch Hazel again :)”
“Eva was amazing! She is such a kind and friendly person! I would definitely ask her to watch our pups again. She was very thorough and great at communication. Eva took such good care of our dogs and sent lots of updates! She made us leaving them stress free.”
“Beth was wonderful with Mowgli and Miles our 2 indoor cats! It was so nice to be able to have them in their own environment! Beth took great care of them and we are extremely grateful to have found her! We will definitely asked her to watch them again! 5 stars!”
“This was our 1st time using Rover, so I was a little nervous. Kelda was phenomenal! She was prompt, great with communication, and easy to work with. As for the care she gave to our animals, outstanding. You can tell she is experienced with dogs and has the natural gift of animals reading humans-our 2 German Shepherds loved her. We will definitely book with Kelda again and I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a wonderful house sitter/dog & cat sitter. Thank you, Kelda, for taking such great care of our pets. ❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alderton
Ariana has been our regular sitter for Dax and Nickle for quite some time, and I honestly cannot say enough good things about her. She recently completed a 3-day, 2-night house sitting stay for us, and once again exceeded every expectation. From the very beginning, Ariana has been dependable, professional, and incredibly respectful of both our dogs and our home. Her communication is excellent, and she always keeps us updated with messages and photos that help us feel connected while we're away. What truly sets Ariana apart is the relationship she has built with our dogs. Dax and Nickle absolutely love her, and it's obvious she genuinely cares about them. As any pet parent knows, finding someone you trust with your pets is priceless. Before finding Ariana, leaving town was stressful because I was constantly worried about how the dogs were doing. Now, she's the reason I'm able to leave them at home and actually enjoy my time away, knowing they're safe, comfortable, loved, and receiving the same level of care I would give them myself. Trust is everything when it comes to pet care, and Ariana has earned ours completely. We are so grateful to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a sitter who is caring, trustworthy, communicative, and truly exceptional at what she does.
Jazmyne was a wonderful sitter who we booked last minute- we got so lucky! She came to meet our doggy before her shift and went over all the details, and was so kind. We appreciated the pictures she sent and the extra attention to details, like bringing in our packages and keeping our house clean. We will absolutely rebook with her!
Shayla did an amazing job with our 2 dogs. Our youngest is a challenge and she managed her wonderfully. We communicated daily and she sent photos of them. We’ve never had to leave our pups for 8 days before and were quite anxious about it. But Shayla was very responsive to our needs and we came home to 2 happy and healthy pups. I would certainly recommend Shayla.
This was the first of 5 bookings we have with Shelby for the summer/early fall. Shelby is communicative and arrived on time. We are retired and home with Misty 24/7 and I knew it would take Misty a few times being with Shelby to warm up to her. We are delighted to have met Shelby and know Misty will become more comfortable with someone new as time goes on, Thank you Shelby.
Kari stopped by a few days before our weekend getaway to become aquanted with our dogs. While staying with them she helped us out by watering some plants and brought in some packages from the porch. Our dogs loved having her at our house and Im pretty sure she thought they were amazing because she took to them right away. Thank you Kari for all your help!
Amber did such a great job! Our furry family got to be all together, with Amber here at our home nearly all the time! That was so important because I have a very anxious dog who needs a loving presence to help keep him calm. She took him out to play fetch many times, which also helps his anxiety! Our other furries were loved just as much, it was easy to see. I will definitely ask Amber to come back next time we have to be away!
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!
Ashley and her son took wonderful care of our Golden retriever Milo and Kitty Kerplunk. They kept them active with walks and play time and plenty of cuddles. We loved the picture updates so we could relax and enjoy our trip knowing they were well taken care of. The house was left clean and fur babies happy. I highly recommend Ashley to watch your furry family.
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Alderton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Alderton on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 6,901 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 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 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.

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.
