“Lee was amazing! On time every day and always gave a summary of each visit with photos of our two cats. Lee gave lots of attention to Sally and Charlotte and had no problem administering their medication. We will be booking with Lee again for our next vacation!”
“Jamie, has been awesome helping me with my girls and they love her. Her and Rhea work together to help out many local families. Thank you for your support and excellent care of my girls!”
About: My family has had dogs since I was born. I grew up learning responsibility through sharing in dog ownership. When I was younger, I dog sat for a few neighbors including a poodle, golden retriever, and the sweetest golden mix. My husband and I adopted our own dog last year and we spoil him to pieces! I understand how valuable our pets are, and will send frequent updates and photos. That’s always our favorite part of booking with rover and I know how good that piece of mind feels :) I am an active duty military spouse, and we recently moved. While I’m looking for a job, I am available around the clock to care for your furry friends! I have a house with an unfinished basement, perfect for puppy zoomies! My dog, Hank, loves other dogs and will be certain to tire yours out (I swear he never runs out of steam!)
About: Ive been around animals ever since I was little and Ive been dog sitting for the past couple of years. I’ve handled dogs of different ages and personalities. Im currently working full time but I have Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays off so im free to take your pups for a walk or even do a check in! I have a 1 year old rescue who gets along well with other people and dogs. Typically he is brought for 1-2 walks each day along with day care twice a week to get some extra socialization and energy out.
“Jocelyn did an amazing job checking in on my cats while I was out of town for a few days! She was always reliable and communicative. She even won the heart of my very nervous cat🩷 My babies can’t wait to see her again!”
About: Been a dog lover and owner all my life and would love the opportunity to take care of your dog if our schedules are able to align. I'm a teacher, so my summers are generally pretty open. I work Monday and Wednesday nights from about 5-7pm, but am otherwise available, unless otherwise noted in my calendar. Available times may change. I am offering dog walking and drop-ins at the moment, but I will care for any dogs as if they were my own, and will be in contact with the owners on an as needed basis. I plan/hope to expand to dog sitting eventually.
“Haley was awesome! Very quick to reply and an excellent communicator. She accomodated my last-minute pup sitting request with an upbeat, helpful attitude. Would highly recommend and will definately be booking her again soon :)”
About: I’ve had animals for my entire life including cats, dogs, fish, hamster and guinea pigs. I have taken care of many other animals and love being around them. I have volunteered at animal shelters since middle school and am currently walking shelter dogs. I love animals and want to fit them into any free time I have. I care for my animals everyday and want to care for others as well! I treat every animal and home with the upmost of respect. I want to treat every animal the way I would want mine treated. I love every animal so when they are in my care they are in great care.
About: I absolutely love year round dog walks and staying active outdoors! I have experience walking multiple dogs at once and am confident handling different sizes, breeds, and energy levels. Animals have always been a huge part of my life — I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, and even fish — so caring for pets feels completely natural to me. I treat every animal as if they were my own, giving them the love, attention, and patience they deserve. Your pets’ safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority. I'm currently working part-time from home so I have a flexible schedule. I'm also available on evenings and weekends. I currently have one dog, two cats, and fish. I can feed any pets and clean the kitty litter box. I can crate a dog after a walk, if needed. I'm happy to snuggle cats, hamsters, rats, and guinea pigs. I can also drive pets to veterinary appointments.
About: I’ve always been passionate about dogs, and caring for them feels more like joy than work. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or making sure meals and routines are on track, I treat every pup like they’re my own. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your furry family member, so I focus on keeping them safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. From energetic puppies to senior snugglers, I adapt to each dog’s personality and needs. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind — because your dog deserves more than just care, they deserve genuine attention and affection. I do live on a secluded piece of land with 60+ acres ideal for your pup to stay if needed! We have hiking trails throughout the property and a porch to soak up some rays! I have most weekends off and one day a week I work from home. I can also drop in for evening care when needed ! I have experience with reactive dogs so I’m highly aware of all situations. I’m alert so I can keep your dog safe as well as myself.
“Dawn was absolutely amazing! She took care of our 2 fur babies with such love and care! She sent us pictures and a text every day with updates on how they were doing. I will recommend Dawn to everyone and we will absolutely book with her anytime we need to travel!! Five Stars!!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Alfred on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,266 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Alfred. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Alfred stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alfred. On Rover:
- 99% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
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.
