“Emma was so great! She always responded quickly to messages, and was very accommodating to our needs - she came over in advance so we could meet her and introduce her to our dog, and she dealt with some unconventional dog hand-offs while we were away. She also left the house just as it was. We will definitely be reaching out to her for dog-sitting needs in the future. Thank you, Emma!”

“Oh, I’m not quite sure where to begin. Owen is such an incredibly sweet, caring and kind young man! We’ve used Rover several times as well as neighbors and friends and family over the years to watch our dogs (we have a 1.5 year old golden doodle, a 7-year-old mini cockapoo, and a 12 yr old miniature boxer) we decided to take a last minute vacation to go see our daughter in North Carolina, which means we were gonna be a good 6 to 7 hours away as well from our dogs, which was nerve-racking and none of our usual people were available. In fact, I couldn’t find anyone available because of the short notice in the five star review arena. I was hesitant to book Owen because the Rover rating had him only like a 2 1/2 star review. But I read the comments and he had two other five star raving reviews and then just one pretty negative rating, but my gut just kept bringing me back to him telling me to give him a chance, so I did. Well you know the saying, “Always trust your gut?” Definitely didn’t fail us with Owen! Our dogs can be pretty intimidating when someone comes up to our dorm. They barrow and sound really ferocious and then they jump all over you be a handful. Owen took right to them and they took right to him! Oh, I forgot to mention the other thing I was nervous about with booking Owen is that he is male. My boxer is not usually a fan of guys whatsoever and he’s super protective if I’m the only one around and not only did he not growl or act standoffishat all towards Owen he seemed like he had known him forever! I honestly wish I could share the photos on here of that same dog Ling with Owen and one of the several photos he sent me. He did every single thing I asked 100% correctly! Which honestly that’s shocking because I leave a full one page document single spaced typed out for people staying at our house watching the dogs and I expect people to forget or missstuff it because it is a lot! Heck my husband and teenage son that live with the dogs full-time don’t remember everything that I want done. Lol Owen didn’t miss a single thing! On top of that, I also have Ringcameras all around the exterior of my home and he played with them and loved on them and they loved on him. In fact I think they even slept with him at night! Lol we got daily check ins from Owen and anything that he noticed was concerning or had questions on he messaged us. And was always super apologetic about disturbing us on vacation. He’s probably nice to a fault Ha! He also washed his bedding in the bedhe stayed in, put our dishes away and some other things which 110,000% is not expected at all! The other thing was shocking is whenever we leave even if family is watching the dogs the dogs will rarely eat and they were so comfortable with him they ate normally! Fortunately with us, we’ve never had any bad experiences with anyone we’ve used on Rover and I would have any of them back again! That being said, there’s just such a loving kind energy that comes off of him that the dogs pick up on so he will be my first call for our next vacation. My husband and I were so impressed with him. We’ve actually thought about reaching out to Rover and seeing if that one negative review could be removed because I get everyone has different experiences, but I just don’t know how there could’ve been such an enormouschange from that review to now is, it’s just not even his character or personality which you will understand if you book him which I highly recommend you do! He should be there with the other five star people, hands-down! So Owen, thank you so very much for loving our babies while we were gone and making us feel so so very comfortable that I don’t have to stress about leaving again! You are a kind soul and I know you had asked me for any tips or suggestions or feedback I can give you for the next time that you can improve on and young man I cannot think of a single thing and that is saying a lot coming from someone like me who is a perfectionist and OCD! We can’t wait to have you over again and I know Jax,Nahla and Montana can’t wait for you to come and stay again also!”

“Morgan and Jahcarre have watched our 2 dogs several times over the past couple years in our home and we always return to the house looking exactly as we left it and our dogs seem well cared for. One of our dogs can be a lot to handle, and the two of them together can be a real handful, and we know that, and appreciate them sitting for our hounds multiple times! The dogs are thrilled when they walk through the door, so the hounds also give 5 stars lol. Will definitely continue to book with them when we need to be out of town.”

About: I have worked with animals professionally for 15 years straight but have had pets of my own my entire life. I have a soft spot for senior pets, and can administer medications and provide light grooming at an additional cost. I am comfortable working with dogs, and cats. I am a full-time employee but have the ability to take my pet sits with me to work. I keep my sits local so I can utilize my lunch-breaks to check on pets. I have pets of my own that I care for daily. I prefer to keep dogs crated if staying in my home while I'm out of the house to ensure their safety as well as my own pets safety. I do require a rabies vaccine and flea/tick/heartworm to be given if an animal is to stay in my home.

About: I have owned dogs since I was 15 years old. As an adult, I've had large breed dogs for over 30 years. I spent the past 2.5 years volunteering at the local shelter walking dogs and providing care for all breeds, sizes and ages. I have also fostered dogs from puppies to seniors. I am Fear Free Certified, and it is my passion to help dogs feel loved and at ease. I work mostly from home, teaching online, so I can easily fit daily pet care into my schedule. I am happy to do overnights on weekends as long as I can also make trips home to let my own 2 pups out. I can also board 1 or 2 pets from the same family if they can stay in the same room (separate from my dogs). I have a special room set up for fosters and boarders that comfortably sleeps 1 or 2 small/medium dogs or 1 larger dog. They will be separated from my own pets during their stay, ensuring safety for everyone. The room has open space, a couch, dog bed and a crate if the dog is crate trained. I leave music on for them when I am not at home, and they get at least 3 walks a day. I have a fenced in yard and am active person. I love walking dogs, playing ball or frisbee in the yard and taking my own dogs on hikes or to the park. I also have some training experience and will help your pup to be their best self! If your dog stays in my home, I will accommodate their regular schedule as best I can while also caring for my own pets.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring, and active animal lover looking to help out with dog walking during the week. Since I work remotely, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit walks into my day and give your pup some extra attention while you’re busy at work! I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog with the same love, patience, and care I would give my own. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a midday walk, or some extra exercise and attention, I’d love to help! I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry friend is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!

About: I have walked, taken care of, fed, and bathed over 30 dogs at once! I used to be a dog caretaker at a doggy daycare/lodging ! :) I use my skills to ensure safety to all pups while watching groups (up to 20!) and maintain my visual observations in playtime. I play and take care of dogs of all sizes (and cats)! I understand both cat and dog behaviors. I remember up to 40 dogs’ first and last names, what they eat, how they eliminate, their breed, and how their stay is and if they’re playing with other pups! I walk 10-15 dogs a day and always keep them under control on leashes. I correct them effectively and give praise when it’s needed. I love all puppers that come my way! With that being said, I would love to meet you and your pup/kitty! My experience won’t let you down and I am looking forward to further our conversation! Dedicated professional with full-time commitments, I prioritize exceptional pet care by offering flexible availability on weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) and certain weekdays before or after standard work hours. This demonstrates my commitment to accommodating the diverse needs of both clients and their beloved pets, ensuring reliable and tailored care. In providing pet care, I tailor my approach based on the specific service and environment. Whether caring for pets in my home or at the client's residence, I prioritize the well-being and individual needs of each animal. I maintain a safe and comfortable environment, adhering to established routines, dietary requirements, and any medical considerations. Additionally, my attention to detail extends to administering medications when necessary. With a commitment to creating a positive and enriching experience, I ensure that both the pets and their owners feel confident and satisfied with the level of care provided.

About: I took care of my family dogs and cats, my own dogs and cats, rabbits, and I've helped friends with their dog, mostly to feed and walk them too. I used to train our own puppies back in the day, but it's been awhile. I just retired from being an elementary school counselor, so I'm more available to walk and care for animals. My schedule is fairly open if I'm not on a travel trip, so I can walk dogs during the day most anytime and care for some animals when needed. We don't have furry pets, because my husband has an allergy. However, I want to be with dogs without him as much as possible. I do walk my neighbor's dog when she's not available.

FAQs for House Sitting - Alloway

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Alloway is $87 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $71 and $103 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. 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 November 2026, there are 4,656 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alloway. 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 Alloway 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 Alloway 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 Alloway 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alloway. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
