“Amanda did a great job. Followed directions and asked good question at the initial meet. Regular updates and pups looked happy and relaxed when I returned. I’ll definitely have her back.”
“Brad was great. Very communicative he took tons of pictures and took a very good care of our pups. He left the house in excellent condition we couldn’t have asked for a better experience thank you so much.”
“Angela was the best! She was so attentive to our little dog Bandit and sent us pictures periodically during her stay. I felt very comfortable knowing she was with Bandit. Angela has a very warm and patient demeanor and Bandit seemed to really like her a lot!”
“Nikki was excellent! We received updates throughout our time away and she was quick to respond to our messages. We came home to not only a happy pup but a VERY clean house and such a thoughtful surprise gift. Made our day! Will recommend to others and absolutely rebook.”
“Alonna was great! Very responsive, good communication and took really good care of my Great Dane, Ozzy! She left my apartment in perfect condition. Will definitely book again! I highly recommend her.”
“Katya was awesome house sitting for our two dogs (one senior with multiple medications to administer) for a long weekend. She provided us plenty of updates, our home was perfect when we got back, and our dogs were spoiled rotten. We’ve already asked when is the next time she can sit for us”
“Our pup absolutely loves the attention she gets from Victory!! She is an elderly sweet dog, and Victory was great giving her all the supplements she needs and attention she craves. We will use her again!!!”
About: I've had a dog my entire life and never want to do without. I am friendly, mature and responsible and will treat/love your dog as my own. I was previously a Pet Host for Sleepover Rover, but moved, and could not longer have dogs at my house. In the meantime, I started my own pet sitting/dog walking business in Southern California. I have hosted small dogs, big dogs and in between dogs. In my building I was the go to person whenever a friend needed their dog fed, walked, kept company, etcetera and I was glad to do it. Seeing those tails wagging when I came to take care of them was priceless. Everyone knew how much I loved dogs and that I am trustworthy. I've had doggie clients of various sizes and breeds for walking, playing, sitting with them and even giving them their medications, and also took care of their homes when their people were at work or away. Now that I've recently relocated to North Carolina, and in a house, I am looking forward to pursuing this love again.
About: I have adopted many animals since I was 13 years old and they all have been loved and cared for in the best way possible. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, including energetic puppies, cats, rabbits, and some aquatic animals in tanks. I will love every animal like my own and make sure that your furry friend is happy and healthy. I am currently a stay at home mom, so I will have plenty of time to accommodate your pet into my schedule and adapt to your schedule as needed! I have been responsible for training puppies and working with week old kittens, so I can take on any task in your home that is needed. I will always ensure your pet is safe and taken care of the way that you need.
“Aliyah was awesome and took great care of our two cats! She provided regular updates and was especially patient with one of our cats, who had a difficult time with us being gone. We are grateful for her service!”
“We had such a great experience! Jessica took wonderful care of our dogs, Gunnar and Riley, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. She was attentive, caring, and kept us updated throughout the stay. She took great care of our house and we could tell our pups were in great hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter. We have already have rebooked her for an upcoming trip!”
“There was some unexpected bumps that come up during week stay but Lauren was so gracious and she took Twix to her place. She sent updates everyday with pictures of him. Our somewhat picky dog became a dog that is more laid back, enjoyed their cat and and made many new friends. Lauren gave him the best care along with her family. Twix was so sad to leave their home, he had the best vacation.”
“Ethan was absolutely amazing with our anxious English Bulldog for overnight dog sitting! He took the time (and multiple visits) for George to become totally comfortable! He was excellent and very knowledgeable about dogs and their personality quirks! 10/10 will be booking him again!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember and have been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old! When I lived in Raleigh, I volunteered at the SPCA of Wake County for 7 years, where I walked, fed, played with, and cared for dogs of all kinds. This experience helped me become more knowledgeable about dog care and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m also a proud dog mom to two pups of my own, an Australian Shepherd and a Black Labrador, who I love more than anything! Over the years, I’ve pet-sat for many families and neighbors, including spending two summers caring for a neighbor’s dog and home while they traveled overseas. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone around to keep them company, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’ll treat your furry family member like one of my own! I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I’m available for morning walks, daytime visits, and pet sitting as needed. My weekends are also open, so if you’re planning a long weekend getaway or need someone to care for your pup while you’re away, I’d be happy to help! I live right by a trail and park, which means plenty of opportunities for walks, runs, and outdoor adventures! My fiancé and I live in a house with a big backyard, and we’re both huge dog lovers. Your pup will have plenty of space to play, lots of attention, and all the love they deserve while they’re with us!
About: I absolutely love animals, and with over 30 years of experience living alongside pets, I naturally tune into their unique personalities, body language, and routines! As a high-energy runner and big walker, I’m the perfect match for keeping active pups happy and hitting their exercise goals, while my decades of sharing spaces with animals mean I’m equally great at giving sweet kitties the calm companion care and independent space they thrive on. Whether your pet is an energetic workout buddy or a quiet lounger, I bring tons of love, care, and reliable live-in companionship to make them feel safe, active, and completely pampered! I work part time from home on my own schedule, easy to fit in your fur baby’s early morning, mid day or late night needs! When staying at your place, I focus on keeping your pets exact routine, boundaries, and energy levels intact. As a runner and big walker, I love tailoring our days to hit your dog's exercise goals, whether that's a fun jog or a casual stroll around the neighborhood. Decades of living with canine and feline roommates mean I effortlessly adapt to their feeding schedules and unique quirks, giving them plenty of love and live-in companionship right where they’re most comfortable.
About: I’ve care for and stayed and watched over my uncle, sisters dogs and and they’ve been in good hands I’ll feed, walk and play with them and love them like they are my own dogs and cats I work 4 days a week 10 hour shifts and off on Fridays and the weekend so.

I’ll do what y’all Prefer me to I’ll follow y’all directions so the animals are happy during y’all are away.
“Kayden was great! You can tell she has a way of getting pets to quickly get close with her. My pup Roman is battling isolation anxiety, and was very happy to have Kayden come by. Not only that, but she went above and beyond with updates and even keeping my house very tidy! She goes above and beyond. I am super grateful for her and will be rebooking :)”

John was amazing! Our two dogs were so well taken care of by him. And not only our dogs, but our home looked better when we returned than how we left it. I would highly recommend John to not only take care of your pets but also stay in your home. We will definitely become his repeat customers.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,813 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alexis. 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 Alexis 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 Alexis 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 Alexis 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work 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.
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.
