“Kaili was amazing! Super attentive, responsive, and punctual! She took great care of my dogs & kept me updated throughout my trip, which I really appreciated. She also took wonderful care of the house & I returned to clean sheets and bedding! Cannot recommend Kaili enough.”
“Lauren is fantastic! She is prompt with communication and checked in the day before her arrival to make sure her check-in time was still going to be ok. She sent pictures and notes to reassure us that the 3 dogs were being well cared for and enjoying time with Lauren. She double checked with us, as well, on her day of departure to make certain her leave time was going to be ok. She is very professional and great what she does. We will definitely reach out to her again for any future pet sitting adventures.”
“Kasey was incredible with our pups, Eddie and Jennie, while we were gone for five days. We told her all their little quirks and favorite things, and she was so thoughtful and accommodating with everything. She took them on hikes every day, planned play dates, sent us tons of pictures, and made sure they got all the cuddles they could ever want. We ended up having travel delays, and Kasey didn’t hesitate for a second she happily kept them an extra night and made the whole situation so much less stressful for us. We’d recommend Kasey over and over again. We’ll definitely be booking with her in the future! Thanks for being great Kasey 🤗”
“Karina was great with my dog! Her communication was always quick and she was willing to cater to all my dogs needs over the weekend. Super professional and responsible! Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely love working with Janis. Her communication and professionalism made my vacation away from the four legged kids non stressful. Would definitely have her come again to babysit.”
About: I’m a caring and reliable pet sitter with a genuine love for animals of all kinds and ages. As a licensed pharmacist, I have extensive experience safely administering medications — both to pets and humans — and I’m very comfortable following detailed care instructions to make sure your furry family members get exactly the care they need. I’ve had the joy of sharing my life with a wonderful German Shepherd and two rescue cats. Though my current housing situation doesn’t allow me to have pets of my own right now, I still cherish every moment I get to spend with other people’s pets. I especially love active dogs — bonus points if yours is a frisbee enthusiast! You can trust that your pets will receive attentive, compassionate care in a calm and structured environment while you’re away. I work part-time remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide lots of attentive, one-on-one time with your pets throughout the day. I’m very active and love going on walks, runs, or trips to the park, so I’m a great match for energetic dogs or playful cats. My availability is generally flexible, though it works best if you’re comfortable with my children (ages 9 and 11) joining me during visits if your booking falls on my parenting time (please ask if it’s an issue). I’ve been trusted by many clients — including friends and strangers alike — to care for their beloved pets and homes. I provide daily updates and photos throughout each booking so you can stay connected and feel completely at ease while you’re away.
“I heartily recommend Quyanna! We received regular reports with photos, she took our dog out on hikes and snuggled with her at home, we returned to a happy dog and a spotless house. She is very personable and easy to work with. What more could you ask for? Nothing!”
“Jessica was fantastic! Met us prior to their stay, asked excellent question, kept us updated when we checked in, and had no issues throughout their stay. Our dogs got along really well! Highly recommend Jessica if you ever need someone to take extra-good care of your fur babies!”
“Christy was really great with our two pups while we traveled. She spent tons of time with them, took them on walks, and kept us updated with pics and videos. It was so nice to travel and not worry about our dogs!”
“Dafne’s the very BEST! I will use her again because it’s like leaving my 90lb German Shepherd with a family member. She took her on outings, walks, and treated her like her own baby girl! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so very much Dafne!!!”
“This was the first time using Allyson to watch our two dogs. She was very responsive and communicative. She sent multiple pictures during her stay. The house was spotless when we arrived home and both dogs were very happy. We will definitely use Allyson in the future!”
“Caroline was an amazing sitter for our lab. She was great with her and sent us daily updates with photos. She took our dog on walks and hikes and made sure she got plenty of exercise while we were away. Our house was super clean when we got home and we had a happy pup waiting for us. Highly reccomend Caroline!”
“Would highly recommend Michael! His daily updates and pictures gave us peace of mind during our trip. He was patient with our rambunctious 7 month old boxer puppy and even got him crate trained for us! We will definitely use him again going forward.”
“Cassandra did an outstanding job with our dog while we were on vacation. She provided pictures showing how comfortable and cared for our dog was while we were gone. Both my husband and I also noticed that our dog was calm and happy when we returned. We also agreed that our dog’s behavior had changed for the better! I definitely recommend Cassandra and we’ll use her again!”
“Ian was marvelous taking care of our big baby! We were able to relax on our trip knowing Walter was safe at home being well take care of! Ian is professional, punctual, caring, clean, and kind!”
“Susan was a dream come true. She watched my sensitive and energetic doodle for the weekend and I felt so at ease. Easy communication, reliable and trustworthy. She showed she is dedicated to being responsible and attentive to both my dog and my house. She left everything super clean. My dog was really cared for. It is such a relief to have her look after Scout. Can’t wait to do it again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 643 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alfalfa. 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 Alfalfa 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 Alfalfa 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 Alfalfa 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 Alfalfa. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
