“Skye stayed at our house for 5 days watching our 2 dogs and 2 cats. She kept us updated daily with how the day went and pictures of our fur babies. Our kitties were even low on food and she went and picked some up for them! When we got back the house was in even better shape then we left it in. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! We will definitely be booking with her again ?”
“Highly recommend! Albert (David) was awesome with our three dogs! They’re not the easiest—one is giant, one is high anxiety, and one is blind. And they all have special medication procedures. Plus we have a quirky century-old house that’s not the easiest either…but David was not phased by any of this! The dogs instantly loved him at the meet and greet, and we came home to them completely calm and happy (which means they got lots of love and attention and walks)! We hope he’s always available when we need a sitter.”
“I could not have asked for a more caring and loving individual to watch my two darling Shih Tzus when I was away. On the meet and greet, Megan took meticulous notes and it was clear how much she loves animals. While I was away, she sent many notes and photos. Her questions showed me how well-cared for my babies were and I could rest easy knowing that Megan was there. I feel so lucky to have found her! Not only did she take excellent care of Moxie and Tonks, but she left my apartment better than she found it! Amazing!”
“She is awesome!! Our dogs love her on the first meet and greet. She stayed in our home and it was better then when we left it. We will definitely have her pet sit our 4 legged girls!”
“Hannah is always very quick to respond and provides plenty of pupdates. She makes it easy to relax while on trips because we know our dogs and home are well taken care of.”
“Natasha was very patient with our dog while he adjusted to the new person in the house. She provided multiple updates daily, worked with the schedule we had provided her, and even volunteered to stay a little longer on the last day to help keep our boy calm during some thunderstorms that rolled in before we got home; we’ll definitely be using her again!”
About: I have veterinarian assistant background, and can administer medications. I have been dog sitting for 9 years. I am active and will be engaging with your pets constantly. my schedule fits perfect for dog sitting and dog walking. I will take care of your pets as they are my own. I hope you’ll consider me for your pets needs. I am currently working part time and would love to use my extra time to take care of your pets needs. I have a very flexible schedule, and your pets needs come first. Giving your pets love, playtime, and exercise. If your pets have special needs to meet those needs for them. Cleaning up after your animals and always making sure their needs are taken care of.
“Sara was great!! She stayed with my two dogs for a few days while I was out of town. She was very communicative and got some great photos, and my pups seemed very happy when I returned home.”
“Kay made us feel extremely comfortable leaving our pups with her for the weekend. She took great care of them, communicated well, and was really charming and sweet and easy to work with. We will definitely be using her again soon!”
“Bretta was an exceptional dog sitter for our guy Henry when we were away for a few days. I cannot recommend her enough. Very professional, kind, and communicative. She sent us lots of updates and photos, and made us feel so comfortable. On top of all of that, she left our house spotless for when we arrived. One of the best out there.”
“Julie is the absolute best! She dog sat at my home for 9 days, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! Julie went out of her way to build a relationship with my sweet girl, Lumi, who was rescued from abuse and neglect and can be reactive, barky, and nervous. Julie is a true dog-lover, and it shows in how much care and professionalism she puts into her dog sitting and walks. She more than willingly took the time to learn all of Lumi’s little quirks and how to manage meds, walks and adventures, etc so that they could have a fun time together. Julie sent photos and updates everyday, and I could see how content and happy Lumi was spending time with her. I’m so thankful to have found Julie, and I look forward to booking her again in the future!”
“James is a joy. He took great care of the dogs and our home. We came home to a clean and tidy home. He took care of everything we had asked him to do and would highly recommend him again”
“I had a great experience with Alice and highly recommend her! I have two cats who need a little extra care—an 18-year-old senior and a hairless cat with a long list of instructions. Alice took wonderful care of both of them and gave them lots of attention while staying overnight at my home. She sent me daily pictures and updates, kept up with their food and water, and I could tell when I got home that both cats were happy and well cared for. She also kept my home very clean and even started washing the sheets and towels before I returned, which was so thoughtful. I felt completely comfortable having Alice care for my cats and will definitely book her again!”
“Johnny was just fantastic!! So friendly and he kept in contact throughout my entire trip, sent video and pictures, watered plants and picked up mail! Will definitely ask again!!”
“Cassandra went above and beyond and accepted the request super last minute when I was unexpectedly hospitalized. My dog, Shadow, has liver cancer and takes multiple oral meds. Cassandra did great, and my house looked amazing! I cannot thank you enough!”
“Kathy was simply amazing 🤩 my Brady felt safe and very happy he got lots of hugs and kisses Kathy left my house spotless we all loved her and hopefully use her services again 😘😘😘😘😘😘”
“We had a great experience with Becca and rate her an exceptional, gifted animal sitter. Our two dogs and two cats (all sensitive and sort of special needs) were so calm and relaxed when we got home - that says it all. It was a huge, huge relief to be able to leave them with someone so good with them. She listens carefully and follows instructions to the letter. The house was clean and tidy. I can't say enough positives. This was our first house sitting experience since moving to Marshall. Highly recommended.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alexander
Skye is dependable loving and wonderful with our pets. Because he works from home, Ivy and Bean get to hang out with a human most days. They loved their walks and socializing with other dogs too. Skye sent updates and photos each day we were gone. Our travel shifted and we found Skye to be a great communicator and flexible.
We had such a wonderful experience with her taking care of our dogs! She was absolutely amazing from start to finish and treated our dogs like they were her own. She made sure they were comfortable, loved, and well cared for, even letting them sleep with her so they could feel right at home. ❤️ She was also incredibly respectful of our home and left everything just as she found it. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands while we were away. We truly couldn’t have asked for anyone better! We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to watch their pets. We can’t wait to have her back! 🐾❤️
Our former and loved dog sitter is no longer in business. It's always a little scary starting with someone new. Kay is now our favorite dog sitter! She did a great job with all three of our animals plus I came home to the dog food container refilled, clean cat bowls, and more. We are already making plans for a future trip and Kay is our first stop!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Alexander on Rover is $48.99 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 669 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alexander. 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 Alexander 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 Alexander 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 Alexander 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alexander. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
