About: What sets me apart is how intentional I am. I don’t rush interactions or treat pets like a checklist. I pay attention, keep routines consistent, and make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for—not just watched. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life. I plan my time carefully so pets always come first when I’m scheduled to care for them. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, play, and rest. I keep the environment calm and clean, respect your home, and adjust my care based on your pet’s comfort level and needs.
“Kris is fantastic! Gemma took to her right away and you can tell Kris knows dogs and their personalities. I’d love to say not to hire her to keep her to ourselves, LoL but I highly recommend her!”
“Sarah was amazing!! She responded quickly to my request and was a great communicator! She sent pictures and gave updates during her stay with our two dogs. She was so sweet and flexible. We would highly recommend her!! We felt 100% at ease with her staying at our house with our Goldendoodle and Bernadoodle!! We will definitely be using her in the future! Thanks so much Sarah!!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of our furr babies!! Thank you for being so trust worthy and communicative. I knew they were in good hands and was able to relax while out of town. Also, thank you for taking care of the house. Will book again!”
“Sammy was great! She came by to meet Leo prior to our vacation and asked all sorts of questions which really showed me she was paying attention to all of the details and that doing a good job was important to her. Sammy sent me a few messages while we were gone with updates about Leo and let me know when she arrived and left. I hope to use her services again this summer!”
“Abbey did a great job with my two dogs when I went on an overnight trip. She had great communication and sent me some cute pictures of them. I don’t often leave them with someone they don’t know, but Abbey was splendid and I would definitely book her again!”
About: I have grown up with and worked with all breeds of dogs. I still actively work with dogs of family friends. Including feeding, bathing, walks, and all the snuggles. I work from home M-F. I start my work day at 8:30am, take lunch at 1pm, and finish my day at 5:30pm. I also work part time, but a flexible schedule I am happy to walk dogs, give them some play time, and feeding of course! With cats I am happy to clean litter boxes, feed, and play with them! All will get plenty of pets and snuggles
“Jasmyne was amazing! Our dog can be pretty anxious but did great with Jasmyne — and she gave us lots of updates and photos throughout the time we were gone; which helped put us at ease too. The house was in tip-top shape when we returned, and our dog was happy and content. We will definitely be calling on Jasmyne again!”
About: I’ve loved Dogs and Cats for as long as I can remember. I’ve had cats since I was 5 years old, and they’ve always been an important part of my life. I had my 1st dog in middle school so ,I grew up playing with them, sleeping next to them, and caring for them every day. Being around cats and dogs brings me so much joy, and I understand how to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I will care for your cat or dog as if they were my own. Cats are part of my daily life. I don’t have dogs but I love it and also was my daily life when I live with my parents. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, I’m home most of the time, so I can give them plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. During the week, I’m available from 5 PM until the next morning, and I love spending my evenings relaxing with cats by my side. In my routine, cats are never alone—they are always with me, receiving love and care. Having a dog should not be a probleem :) When caring for cats and dogs in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their feeding schedule, keep their litter box clean, afternoon walks,play with them, give them plenty of attention and affection, and respect their personality and routine. I enjoy spending quality time with cats, whether they want to play, cuddle, or simply relax nearby.Trust me i will not fail:)
“Kari and Clint did great great job taking care of our hens and dog and humming birds!!! Happy and thankful that they care for our dog.. He can be a handful! Kari was very flexible as our travels brought us home on overnight flight very very early in the morning the day after our booking. She cleaned our home before she left. We have peace of mind when she’s watching our pets. Five stars !!!!”
“Cathy watched our two dogs in our home for an extended vacation we took to Costa Rica. Our dogs were happy in the pictures she sent and seemed well taken care of on our return. The whole experience was very stress free for us knowing that our pets were in good hands! We will definitely use her again on our next trip.”
About: My reliability and dedication mean that pet owners can trust me to adhere to their specific instructions and maintain their pets’ routines, whether it’s feeding, walking, or administering medications. In addition to my golden retriever Duke, I have volunteered at the Humane Society. I work from home so I have the ability to give your pet the extra attention they deserve! I work from home so I have the ability to give your pet all the attention they need! I will treat them as my own! I have a fenced in back yard! My home is pet friendly and safe for dogs and cats. House is always kept clean and tidy.
“We had a great experience! Damica took wonderful care of our 3 dogs, and we felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands. We will definitely book with them again and highly recommend!”
“Kara was so wonderful. She took great care of our dog that gets anxiety when we are away. She took him on walks, gave him good snuggles, sent pictures, and left our house clean and tidy. She was also just so sweet! We will definitely be hiring Kara again!”
About: I’ve always had a heart for animals and have volunteered for organizations to donate to animals in need! I have helped take care of dogs and cats for coworkers, friends, and family and have been a trusted source for care for many years. I currently work part time and am a full time student online but am flexible with my current work schedule and will fit your pets needs in before my own :) Since I have two cats in my home, I do not offer in home services. However, in your home, tidying up your home while I’m there and cleaning up after your pet will be a number one priority!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alfont
As always, Tammy took great care of Seraphina and Elsa and sent me the sweetest pictures of them while I was gone. I hate leaving my baby girls, but knowing Tammy is taking great care of them makes it so much easier knowing they’re in great hands and they both love Tammy so much
Tracy was absolutely fantastic! She cared so well for our fur baby and kept us up to date with texts and frequent photos / videos. Our pup doesn’t do well with fireworks, so we were a little nervous to leave him over the Fourth. Tracy let us know how he was doing and able to administer his anxiety meds when necessary. Louie was so well cared for and we were kept updated with the best videos. We will definitely be using Tracy again!
Kylie was great with our two dogs! She was flexible scheduling a meet and greet with us, and communicated promptly the whole time. We received photos while we were away, and came back to the house just as we had left it. I would absolutely recommend Kylie for anyone looking for a pet sitter!

The average cost of House Sitting in Alfont is $51 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $82 per night.

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 Alfont 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 Alfont 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 Alfont 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
