“Brittany did an amazing job taking care of our dog and our home! Very professional and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended her for any of your animal needs!”
“Anastasiia was absolutely FANTASTIC with both our dog AND our home. We hired her to watch our house and our dog, Finn, for a week while we visited family 2000 miles away, and would hire her again in a heartbeat. She met us a few weeks before the booking for a meet-and-greet with our dog and so she could get to know him and so we could familiarize her with the house. She did fantastic with all of Finn's meals and medications, played with him a ton, snuggled him endlessly, and sent 75 pictures over the course of a week, complete with king and thoughtful updates on how everything is going. Beyond that, she took incredibly good care of our house. We left it very clean before our trip, and somehow we returned to it even cleaner than when we left - dishes spotless and put away, garbage and recycling taken out, bed re-made, the whole 9 yards. We highly recommend her for anyone considering a dog watcher and/or house-sitter!”
“Rachel is fantastic. She took great care of our super sweet giant snuggle pup and our house. She was incredibly prompt in responding to all of our messages, checked in regularly and sent pictures. She went not an extra mile but extra miles to provide a great experience. Thank you for being awesome to Red Cloud and to us Rachel!”
“We had Ron stay at our house and care for our dog, Ruby. Ruby was well taken care of, and the house was immaculate upon our return. I would definitely recommend Ron for caring for your animals.”
“Jessica is a great sitter for my higher maintenance old dogs. She is good with communication, checking items and asking questions. On top of that, I think the kitchen was cleaner than before she arrived! Highly recommended.”
“Nikki did a great job taking care of my senior, deaf kitty who is on meds and a bit of a complicated feeding schedule. She was great about communication, and sent photos which was much appreciated. She was clean and respectful of our home as well. I would definitely recommend her”
“Karolina is the best cat sitter we have ever had!! This is our second time working with her and we’re so grateful to have found her. She takes extra special care of our two cats and also leaves our home so clean and tidy during her stays. She sends lovely updates. She has even been able to get our shy cat to come out and play some. We also appreciate that we can be hard to reach when out of town but she’s always on top of things. We highly recommend her services. Thank you again, Karolina!”
“We like Matthew and were very pleased with the care he provided for our 2 dogs and our home while we were traveling out of the country for 3 weeks. Our dogs love him and he was always very understanding of their unique personalities, behaviors & preferences. He provided updates with photos throughout our time away and was very responsive to our messages as we checked in on our dogs, despite the 8 hour time difference between Washington State and the United Kingdom. We would gladly trust him with our dogs & our home again in the future!”
“Elizabeth was WONDERFUL!!! Annie is a shy dog, slow to warm up to new people. Elizabeth understood how to approach her to increase Annie's comfort level and they were soon best buds. Elizabeth sent us daily written updates, photos and videos to keep us appraised of how Annie's days were going, providing us reassurance and peace of mind during our absence. We would most heartily recommend Elizabeth to house and dog sit, and although we don't often travel without Annie, we are delighted to know we can call on her again if needed. She is a lovely person, wonderful with our dog, and respectful of our home.”

“Chelsey has been a saving grace for our little dog family. We've used her for drop-in visits, housesitting and dog boarding. We trust her with our puppy and our epileptic dog that has a lot of special needs. She always sends multiple pictures a day and never fails to update us! We highly recommend using Chelsey!”
“Madison is an excellent sitter! She stayed at our home for 7 days with our two very large and excitable dogs. This is the longest we have ever been away from them in the almost 9 years we’ve had them. We were very anxious as these dogs are our children. Madison was thorough and went above and beyond to make sure that us and our boys had a good experience. She did brushing, gave medication and helped them brush up on some of their training skills. The boys loved her, and her updates gave us great peace of mind. She left our house very tidy, and was considerate of our space. This was my first experience with rover, and Madison knocked it out of the park. Tucker and Toby can’t wait to have her back next time. 100/10 recommend Madison for your furry friends. ❤️”
“Donna was OUTSTANDING. She took such good care of our golden retrievers for the four days we were gone. She is a dog whisperer. They clearly felt her love. She was a fantastic communicator with us and an overall very kind person. I can’t say enough positive things about Donna! We hope to reserve her again.”
“Samara was the perfect fit for my dog who has separation anxiety. Her calm, confident demeanor kept Buster relaxed and happy for the entire time we we gone. Samara was very flexible and asked great questions. I will not hesitate for a second to book her again!”
“100% the best pet sitter we have ever had. Restored my faith in rover. She loved my babies and took excellent care of them. They are needy and shy and medicine dependent and she handled it all like a pro”
“Katrina was a very lovely person and Buda really seemed to like her. She did a great job of communicating and our home was way tidier than we left it! Truly appreciate her and will reach out to her again for future needs.”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and my friends and families. I have walked others energetic puppies and my own. I love trying to teach them new tricks and reward good behavior. I can give your pets their medicine or help with special instructions for their care. I have no problem cleaning up after them when they go to the bathroom. I am able to work any hours or days. There are a few times that I might need to go do somethings between care like errands. I have a fenced yard so I get to go outside with my dogs and play with them and I hope to do that with other dogs. I am very good with following directions for others animals.
“Very thankful Veronica was able to come back and stay with Kelowna again when we had a last minute trip pop up! Awesome communication, great pics of our pup and we always feel very good knowing Kelowna is in good hands with her when we have to be away.”
“Bridgette was fantastic! Super communicative the entire time and took great care of my 2 special needs pups. She left our house incredibly clean and made sure our plants got water. Can’t say enough about how happy I and my dogs were with our experience with her! We will book with her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alexander Beach
Edith took such great care of our dog and our house! She was quick to respond when making arrangements. She sent pictures each day of walks or play times, so I knew my dog was having a good time. The house looked great when we came home. I would definitely use her again!
Cherese was great with our high energy dog! Pepper was very content and had obviously gotten a lot of positive attention and exercise while we were away. The house was spotless and sheets were even washed when we returned! Cherese was easy to communicate with and very helpful. We would definitely have her watch Pepper again!
Every time Elizabeth stays with our four dogs, we come home to happy dogs and clean house. This last time, one of our Bernese Mountain Dogs was frightened by fog horns and Elizabeth stayed with her until she calmed down - at 3am in the garage with music playing to obscure the sounds. We trust Elizabeth completely to take care of our furry kids.

FAQs for House Sitting - Alexander Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Alexander Beach on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 798 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alexander Beach. 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 Beach 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 Beach 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 Beach 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.

- 96% 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.
