He is slow to warm up with new people and Sonia has developed a terrific rapport with him, she always makes sure he is safe, comfortable and happy in his routine. She takes great care in looking after our home and sends a helpful daily update, we're very glad to have such a great sitter for our special-needs dog!”
About: I’ve been dog-sitting for 3 years, and honestly, I just really love dogs! 🐶 I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, with most of my experience being with bigger dogs. I’ve looked after two Huskies at once, a Standard Poodle, Chihuahua, Pomeranian, and senior dogs. I grew up with a Lhasa Apso and was lucky enough to care for him myself during his senior years, so I understand how much extra patience, love, and attention older pups can need. I’m also very active and genuinely love going for walks. I average at least 10,000 steps a day, so if your dog loves a good walk, we’re probably going to be best friends! I’m very comfortable staying in other people’s homes and actually enjoy helping dogs stay in the environment they know and love. My goal is to keep your pup happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll give them plenty of attention, exercise, cuddles, and, of course, lots of love! I work part time remotely with lots of flexibility and can bring my laptop anywhere. I don’t not have a partner or children so I can dedicated the proper time to looking after your pet! I will ensure that gates and doors are locked. The dog is on leash whenever we leave and to avoid other dogs and people if necessary. I will stick to your wishes on how you want your pet looked after.
“Fairuz was very sweet and caring with our Australian Shepherd. There were some small communication issues about when she would be there but it all got worked out and the weekend went well. Our pup was perfectly fine when we got back. Thank you, Fairuz!”
“Haley was wonderful taking care of our dog and home. We have already booked her for multiple dates. Bubby was happy so we were happy! She also had no problem giving him his meds.”
“Laura was a fantastic sitter for our flat-coat retriever Piper. She sent us daily photos of Piper on a walk or enjoying her play time, and was always prompt in responding to inquiries. Our favorite photo was Piper sprawled out on Laura's lap looking up at her lovingly. She left our home spotless to boot! We would welcome her back as a sitter in a heartbeat.”
About: Working as a teacher and pet sitter have taught me many of the same skills: patience, communication, responsibility, and genuine care. I’ve traveled across the U.S. to pet sit for both cats and dogs, and I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. I’m attentive to owners’ instructions and take their trust seriously. Whether it’s keeping up with a feeding schedule, making sure a dog gets plenty of exercise, or giving a shy cat some extra space and patience, I do my best to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m also respectful of your home and always aim to leave a place as clean—or cleaner—than I found it. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I currently work as a substitute teacher, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time before and after work to provide attentive care, and I’m generally able to adjust my schedule around a pet’s needs. I live a calm lifestyle and enjoy spending time at home, so pets get plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I have a safe, comfortable home with a backyard where pets can get some fresh air and space to explore. I also live right next to a park with a designated pet area and plenty of greenery, which makes it easy to provide regular walks and outdoor time. I want pets in my care to feel comfortable and at home, while also following their owner’s routines, instructions, and preferences.
“Chris was an excellent house and pet sitter! She gave detailed updates and photos every day and kept all the pets on schedule with food and meds they needed to take. The house was left clean, tidy and safe when we arrived back home. Would hire again!”
“Murphy helped take care of our new puppy on short notice; he was punctual, reliable and so attentive to our fur baby. He sent regular pictures and videos along with updates on what she did throughout the day. Our puppy felt comfortable right away and we will definitely be reaching out to Murphy in the future for any dog sitting needs!”
“Courtney was an amazing dog sitter for us. We had last minute dog-sitting plans fall through (over Christmas!). Not only was she available, but she came over a day or two in advance of our departure to meet me, get the understanding of our house, but most importantly to meet Frank (our old man dog)! Frank is often shy, anxious, and slow to warm up to new people. He’s also really old and thus fairly high-needs for a dog (e.g., has to be carried outside and in, takes medications, is finicky). Courtney made him feel completely at ease and moved to match the dog’s pace. She also sent thorough and kind updates during our whole vacation—always including a picture or two with each update, unprompted. Courtney assured me she had a variety of experience and was not afraid of giving him medicine OR if Frank decided to stay in bed with her at night. She seemed knowledgeable about his breed and confident in her ability to handle any situation that might come up. Regardless, she was a great communicator, confident in her dog watching abilities, and made me feel totally at ease leaving my elderly best friend with her while we went overseas. I totally trust her and would recommend her to anyone (especially an anxious dog-parent, like me) looking for someone to stay with their dog, walk their dog, or whatever! Courtney is was an amazing find and we look forward to having her stay with Frank again! Well, well worth her price.”
About: I have not cared for any dogs for long but I am happy to learn, grow, and develop to help care for your pets. I am open to learning new skills that will show the most care and love for your pet. I am currently working and have school but I am happy to care for you pets. I typically finish work at 9 am so any time after that I would be happy to come help you. Normally I care for pets in my clients home and make sure that the pets are receiving constant care. I am good with following schedules and routines for not only the pets but also for the owners home. I want the pets I care for to be safe, comfortable, and loved and bring peace of mind to their owners.
“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!”
“Ani was just what we needed! We were away from our pup for the first time and she put our minds completely at ease. Her great communication and kindness made it a fantastic experience!”
“Gabriana was so sweet and thoughtful with our anxious pup! She was punctual and very communicative. Looking forward to having her take care of our pup again.”
“Ray and Esme are truly wonderful. They are our first call and we feel so lucky to have connected with them. They take incredible care of our dogs and treat them like their own. Truly the best.”
“I am beyond lucky that I found Annabelle to help with my pup! We just relocated from Seattle and have had a hard time finding someone my dog loves. My dog is a bit reactive on leash and requires oral medication twice daily. Annabelle took on the job and followed instructions beyond my expectations. My pup was so relaxed when I got back from my trip, so I know he was well taken care of and at ease while I was away! I would 100% recommend Annabelle and will be using her regularly.”

Ani was very communicative and took great care of my dog and my home while I was out of town for work. She sent photos everyday which obv made me feel very happy and relieved my dog was in good care while I was gone. When I got home, I noticed my home was actually in better shape than I left it! She arranged the pillows and blankets in a way I had not thought of, but will start doing so in the future! Thanks for the interior decorating inspo, ani :)
Kathleen is amazing! She was great with our dog Muncy while we were traveling. She also handled an unexpected and scary electrical issue at our house very promptly and responsibly. She kept great regular communication and sent some really cute photos of our pup that made our stay away stress-free!
Lauriane is great! She took time to meet Chili and I before watching her - it was great to meet her and get to know her style of dog sitting prior to leaving Chili with her. Chili instantly liked her! She's a clear communicator, and sent lots of updates and photos of Chili, which I appreciated. Next time we need a sitter, I will be contacting Lauriane!
Anne seems like part of the family now and our dog Oliver thinks so, too. Anne has been so good with Oliver that he is obviously missing her, checking in the guest room to see if she is there. Anne does a wonderful job caring for our dog and keeping an eye on things at our house. I would recommend Anne without hesitation.
Zakiyyah was awesome with our 4 fur babies. They liked her a lot. Directions for their care were followed to a T. Zakiyyah was able to house sit as a last minute request this was great for our schedule. When asked if she could stay a bit later she did and we were grateful. Zakiyyah you rock and we will definitely recommend you to others and will book again when we visit again. Thank you for messaging and sending pictures as well as updates. Our fur babies will miss you.

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.
I highly recommend Mary!!! She was the best pet sitter and I will definitely use her again in the future! My neighbors would watch my animals but they were not available so I needed to find someone fast. I’ve used ROVER in the past and found Mary Sol’s profile. I sent her a message and She responded quickly and we made plans to meet up. She showed up on time and was so pleasant. I immediately felt comfortable because she was so sweet and warm. I decided to hire her for a week to care for my animals in my home. She took AMAZING care of my 14 year old dog and 2 cats while I was on vacation for a week. She provided detailed updates and went above and beyond to keep my animals happy and healthy and well cared for while I was gone! When I came home my house was in meticulous condition. She removed garbage daily, kept litter boxes super clean, water filters for fountains were changed and water was clean, no issues at all!!! Animals were all in great condition and well maintained for the week I was gone. She communicated well and always kept me updated!!! She’s amazing. I will used her in the future if she’s available. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND 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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Alhambra is $70 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $104 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 14,993 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
