“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!”
About: Whether your pet is a ball of energy, a cautious observer, or somewhere in between, I’d love to get to know them and give them the kind of care that makes them feel right at home. I work with children, which has taught me a lot about patience, supervision, and the importance of paying attention to the little details. I bring that same care and attentiveness to every pet I look after. I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, entertained, and loved. I’ve had cats my entire life, so cats are especially close to my heart. I love playtime, brushing, nail trims, and figuring out the best way to win over even the shyest kitty. I’m very happy to let cautious cats take things at their own pace and use play, patience, and plenty of treats (if allowed!) to help them come out of their shell. I’m also an active person and love getting outside with dogs! Long walks, plenty of sniffing, games, and working on leash manners are right up my alley. I have experience teaching dogs leash skills, including heel commands, and I’m always happy to help a pup get some of their energy out in a fun and safe way. My split work schedule gives me lots of availability throughout the day, including early mornings, midday, afternoons, and evenings. That means I can give your pet plenty of attention and companionship rather than making them feel like they’re just waiting around for someone to come home. I currently work part-time on weekdays with a split schedule, so I’m only at work from 6:00–9:30 AM and 2:00–6:30 PM. This gives me plenty of availability before work, between shifts, and in the evenings to check in on, walk, feed, play with, and care for your pets. I’m also happy to spend extra time with pets who need a little more attention or companionship! When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and pay close attention to things like doors, leashes, and their surroundings to help prevent accidents or escapes. My experience working with kids has taught me to be observant, responsible, and patient, and I bring those same qualities to pet care. I understand every pet is different and will respect their individual needs and boundaries. I also treat every home with care and respect, cleaning up after pets and leaving things tidy. I’ll keep you updated while you’re away so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Jessica was exceptional. On time, great communicator, neat and tidy in my house, and so kind. My dog Luca loves her. I felt so at ease leaving him with her! And I am a neurotic dog dad lol.. She’s just the best!!”
“Nicole did a fantastic job watching over our house and pets while we were away. I highly recommend her. Our house looked wonderful when we got home and the pets were all very happy.”
“It was a pleasure meeting Karolina and having her watch our 2-dogs for the July 4th Holiday. She was great with spending LOTS of time at our house, walking Stewie & Odie a couple times a day and communicating with us throughout the weekend. We will definitely have her watch our dogs in the future!”
“Donna was incredible with our senior dog, Zooey! She sent super frequent updates with adorable pictures, and she took amazing care of our girl! My dog was happy as I clam when we returned from our week-long vacation, so I know she had a lovely week with Donna. I will be booking with her again next time Zooey needs a sitter!”
“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”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for years and genuinely love being around animals. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, especially when you’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, following routines, and giving lots of attention. I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, care, and affection I give my own. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable while your pet is in my care. 🐾 I have a rotating work schedule, but I know my availability in advance and will only accept bookings I can fully commit to. On my available days, I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability before accepting a booking. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ll follow your instructions carefully for feeding, walks, medications or special routines, and I’ll respect your home while I’m there. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and cared for.
“Katrina was great! She was super sweet to Oliver and left the house super clean! She was incredibly responsive and gave updates on Oliver while we were abroad! I would absolutely book Katrina again!! Thanks for being so kind to Ollie!!”
“Madison was a wonderful cat sitter. This is our first time having someone stay at the house with the cats while we were away and Madison did a wonderful job. She was very communicative, sent pictures of the kitties and left the place in great shape. Will definitely hire 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!”
“Sharon and Mike were PERFECT sitters for Jenny. They sent us photos and feedback every day, They took her for rides and long walks to exciting new places and were great snuggle partners. Sharon and Mike left the house orderly and clean and followed all instructions to a « T ». They get an A+ in every area.”
“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!”
“I'm a veterinarian and very glad I found Elisabeth to take care of my old dog at my house recently! She was very communicative, detail-oriented, trustworthy and reliable -- I've already booked her again!”
“Both dogs took to Morgan from the start, even Thor, who is usually takes quite some to warm up to new people. Got updates while I was running errands and returned to happy puppies!”
“Bridgette kept my cat company for four days and did a great job. Simba is normally very aloof and leery of strangers but even when Bridgette came over to meet us before my trip he was quite comfortable with her. During the stay, from the photos and notes Bridgette sent me, I could see that he warmed up to Bridgette immediately. A huge bonus was that Bridgette watered a few of my house plants and left my house exactly as I’d left it. The next time I travel I hope Bridgette will be available!”
“I’ve had Veronica take care of my house and animals several times. They’re always well taken care of, she keeps me updated and she does all the things that I’ve asked of her.”

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Alexander Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Alexander Beach on Rover is $53.5 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 795 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% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
