“Carrie is fantastic! Punctual, friendly, and kept us updated the entire time with great communication and attention to detail! Most importantly, she was so gentle with our senior dog, who took to her right away. Knowing that our sleepy senior is in such kind hands, brings a sense of calmness to our day. Will definitely book again!”
“Mike is fantastic! He was professional and an excellent communicator—from the first message all the way through the stay. His attention to detail, skill in asking the right questions about my dog's needs, and regular updates with phots was worth every penny!”
“Hayley was amazing! So communicative and thorough in the details, and even had some helpful insight for some health stuff with our dog that we weren’t aware of! We’re very much looking forward to having her watch Willow again. ?”
“Emily was amazing! She has such great energy—easygoing, kind, and a wonderful communicator. She had so much patience with my senior rescue maltipoo and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I could tell my pup was in caring hands. I’d definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again!”
“Chris was absolutely amazing! She house sat and dog sat our 2 little dogs for two weeks and within that time she quickly developed a wonderful relationship with the dogs. She sent daily updates and photos, and her comments were always thoughtful and gave us great peace of mind. Chris really does care about the animals she looks after! she was a wonderful house guest, and everything was clean and tidy when we returned home. We will definitely use Chris again!!”

“Jessica is amazing!! She took such good care of my pup, sending frequent updates and tons of photos. Every step of the way she was professional, communicative and thorough, and she was super loving towards my little guy. I highly recommend her as a sitter. You can feel peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in good hands!”

“Lauren took care of our black lab and bunny for 10 days over the holiday and she did a great job! We don't normally leave for so long so we were worried about leaving them with a new person but Lauren was very sweet to them and very communicative with us. She sent pictures and updates daily and was flexible with us when our travel plans changed. And it was so nice to come home to such a clean apartment! We will definitely hire Lauren again and recommend her to our friends!”

“Limari was fantastic! On time, communicative, and our pup is so comfortable with her, she fell asleep within minutes of Limari getting here. We received pictures and updates and it was so clear that our dog was being well taken care of and loved.

We are so grateful for Limari’s dedication and professionalism, and would highly recommend her to others!”

Avery did a great job caring for our animals. They were happy and healthy on our return home and the house looked great. Our pup can present challenges given both the late maturing of her breed and her own quirks, but Avery dealt with them as they came and we appreciate her suggestions on how to help her.
This is our second time booking with Jessica and we couldn't be happier and more assured with our decision to book again. We've had several sitters over the years as we've moved to different cities and Jessica is by far the most conscientious, caring and considerate sitter we've had. We have a kitty with kidney disease and she went above and beyond in being attentive to her needs and making sure she was comfortable while we were away. She is highly dependable and a great communicator. Our other pets have come to love and trust her and she treats them like her own. We were away for a few weeks and even seemed like our house was cleaner than when we left it. Thanks, Jessica, for being so amazing - our family truly appreciates it!
Shirley was a wonderful sitter! Sent great photos and updates multiple times a day, and both of my pets seemed so happy—even our cat, who is usually shy and hides from sitters, spent her weekend out and about in the living room. Would definitely ask her to care for our girls again!
Jovi can be quite particular with whom he is comfortable with, so it was a great sign that he did not bark at Polli at our meet and greet. When she arrived for sitting, he was just fine with her in the apartment and didn't try to bark at her to leave. It is always nice to feel your dog is comfortable when leaving! I was gone for a week and when I got home Jovi was clearly well cared for. Polli did a great job getting new pony tails for him so he could see, the house was clean, and Jovi was in good spirits!
Grace is the most caring and thoughtful person you would ever have to care for your furry baby. She sends so many updates and always treats my baby girl Gigi with so much love and care! Gigi loves it when Grace comes and stays with her, and I feel so at ease knowing she is in great hands. You can truly tell that Grace loves animals and is the sweetest soul. Thank you so so much, Grace! Gigi and I thank you and love you! 🐕 💕✨
This was my first time using Rover. I was very concerned as my older dog had some health issues arise right before I left. Alvin was amazing. He was constantly advising me about my dogs and any change of normal behavior. He was able to take care of the meds she needed and all was good. I was also surprised my dogs went for walks with him, as I was certain they would not go with someone else. He truly cared that my dogs were healthy including mentally making sure they had activity. He stayed at my house and left it the same condition I left it. I would highly recommended using Alvin and plan to use him again on my next trip. He also took care of watering my plants while I was gone.
Aleena is absolutely wonderful! She recently watched our two senior Chihuahuas, Piggy and Lucy, and we couldn't be happier with the care they received. Since our dogs are older, we are always a bit nervous leaving them, but Aleena made us feel at ease right away. She was incredibly responsive and provided consistent updates and photos, which we truly appreciated. It was clear that they felt completely comfortable around her and really thrived with her company. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely kind to animals, we highly recommend Aleena. We will definitely be hiring her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Alhambra on Rover is $69.93 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 14,966 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alhambra. 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 Alhambra 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 Alhambra 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 Alhambra 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 Alhambra. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
