“Shelby was so incredible! She was very attentive to our pups, sent lots of pictures, and handled our special needs dog with the utmost care and grace. She went above and beyond by washing a few dishes we had left in the sink before we went out and we were surprised and delighted that she did that for us. We look forward to seeing her again and so do our pups!”
“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”
“Victoria was very attentive and took detailed notes about both of my pets and their schedules before the scheduled stay. While my plans fell through and I didn't actually go out of town I'd definitely have her watch my pets if needed in the future!”
“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!”
“Kristine and Lauren were amazing with my babies. Communication was stellar and coming home the house was probably cleaner than I left it. I would use them again as the proof is in the pudding - cats and dog are very happy.”
“Natalie did an amazing job when she stayed with my tibetan terrier, Syrah, who has separation anxiety and has never had a stranger stay with her before. Syrah instantly took to her from the moment she entered the door when she came to introduce herself. Natalie is very compassionate about her job and her love for pets. She has excellent communication and shares photos and updates of your pet throughout her stay. Having never used a pet sitter before, I wasn’t sure what to expect but she made it super easy to leave and be on vacation knowing my dog was being well cared for and smothered in cuddles! I came home to a house that looked exactly as I left it. Natalie is very respectful of your home and belongings and treats everything with care. She made sure she cleaned up before leaving and even washed the linens used during her stay! I am so thankful for having found Natalie and would recommend her without hesitation! I’ll definitely have her back as she does a wonderful job caring for my lil one. My dog had so much fun, she’s still trying to catch up on rest and snoring rather loudly 2 days later!”
“So incredibly grateful that we found Maleka to care for our pups and house sit for two nights. She took amazing care of our dogs and home and exceeded our expectations in every way. We would highly recommend Maleka to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies and home!”
“Silvia was thorough and caring. She gave regular updates on our dog and went above and beyond to help our senior girl eat. She also left our home clean with clean sheets on our bed. This was an amazing touch after a long travel day. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Kari was a great fit for watching our dogs. They were well taken care of and we arrived home to happy pups and she even washed the dishes! I recommend her and will hopefully get to book her again.”
“Whitley stayed at our house and watched our pups for a few nights. She communicated well with us and took such great care of them and our home. I would highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“Mandi is incredibly communicative and keep our dogs and cat happy and content while we are away. She’ll provide photos of your animals on a regular basis and is quick to report if anything seems off with any of your pets. Would strongly recommend trusting her with your pets!”
About: I’ve been around all kinds of dogs and breeds my entire life. I had a large husky when I was little, and a golden retriever. I’ve always gotten along with friends, family and neighbors dogs no matter the size or breed. I currently have two dogs a 90+ Ibs pitbull mix and a 35 Ibs blue heeler mix. I understand that each dog and breed have their own needs and lifestyles. I’m currently out of school for the summer and have an almost completely free schedule to take care of your pet and their needs. I have some things that have been scheduled for awhile but other than those few things I am available throughout the day. I can easily crate pets if needed. I can feed them and take them for walks/ to the bathroom multiple times throughout the day. I am unable to have pets stay at my home but I am willing to pet/ house sit if that is needed. I can pay a lot of attention to your pet while you are gone.
“Thank you so much for taking care of Bam Bam. We could not have asked for a better sitter. The photos and videos of Bam that were taken over the period of our absence will be cherished for years to come. Our home was in perfect condition when we arrived. Communication was easy. We all look forward to working with you for our next trip away from home!”
“Susan was excellent. We really appreciated everything that she did for us (house sitting and dog walking) and we were very confident that our pets would be well taken care of. I will hire her again when the need arises and would strongly recommend her to anyone else.”
“Jessica is an amazing dog sitter. She was very communicative, flexible and attentive to our dogs. She gladly did a meet and greet and our dogs felt comfortable around her. We would definitely book her again in the future.”
“Stephanie is so nice to Monte and Rose. They both want all the attention, all the time, and she plays with them and makes sure they are happy! She sends a daily update and lots of photos, keeps the house looking great, and is very nice. I highly recommend her to others, and hope she’ll be able to watch the two pups again in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alderton
Lindsey was prompt and very receptive to our needs for Bleu. She even accepted monitoring our garden water (just for unexpected leaks in system, didn't happen, Praise God!) and collecting eggs from our chickens- such a blessing! We would definitely utilize her services again.
Ariana continues to be our go-to pet sitter, and I can't recommend her enough. She takes amazing care of our dogs, keeps us updated with messages and photos, and gives us complete peace of mind whenever we're away. We always come home to happy pups and a well-cared-for home. If you're looking for someone dependable, caring, and trustworthy, Ariana is absolutely the one to book!
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!
Kari was great! My dogs love her and it is very nice to be able to go away and be worry free! Kari sends lots of pictures and asks questions if needed. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for their pets to be cared for well and also your house to be protected!
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.
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 July 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 July 2026, there are 7,001 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
