“Justine did a great job with my crazy crew and provided timely updates with super fast communication. I also appreciated her being available on relatively short notice. Would definitely reach out to her again for future needs!”
“Danielle was amazing! She watched my 3 month old pup and 1 year old shepherd/chow mix and they both loved her! She sent many updates about how they were doing! I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Angela was very prompt, responsible, and communicative. I booked her a few weeks in advance, she came over once to meet my dog and get an idea of her routine. She then came back the day before my trip for a refresher. She took care of my dog exactly as we had discussed and sent regular pictures and updates while I was gone. My home was exactly as I left it when I got back. Would definitely use Angela again!”
“Alina was a great dog sitter for us and did so well with our pup while we were out of town. She’s very kind, responsible and responsive. She also communicated well with us, sent us pictures of walks and cuddles with our pup, and kept us updated, which made us feel very reassured while we were away. I highly recommend her for your pet needs!”
“Sara was a lifesaver! She helped house sit our two greyhounds and a guinea pig on short notice, salvaging a family vacation. She was responsive while we were away and when we got home, everything was as we left it and it was clear the dogs (and pig) had been exceptionally well cared for. We'll definitely be requesting her services in the future.”
“Jennifer did a great job watching our dogs and cat (and bunny). Even with rough weather and power outages, the animals were in good hands. Thank you for keeping them healthy, happy and entertained.”
“Kim has been amazing while we were away, keeping us updated with pictures and text messages. The dogs looked so happy and rested. She also took care of things I didn’t anticipate for her to do and was so sweet. We can’t wait to have her back her outgoing personality and friendliness is exactly what we were looking for, and the pups absolutely enjoy her.”
About: "Caring for pets has been a part of my life ever since I got my first dog as a child. Over the years, I’ve loved every moment. whether it's walking, playing, grooming, or feeding. I treat every pet like family, and I’m dedicated to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care." Currently im only working part time 2 days a week at 5 below usually from around 2 or 4 to closing, so I will have loads of time to come play with or walk your pets! I'll leash them when we walk, and if we have to go somewhere they'll remain on the leash, and I'll keep an eye on them if they are in your yard
“Owen was fantastic. Not only was he responsive but the dogs were well taken care of. They were walked, fed, played with, and given a lot of love. While he was watching the pups he also kept the house clean. I got daily pictures ands updates which helped to put my mind at ease about my pups while I was on vacation. I will use Owen again”
“Keeara was honestly so great and gave me all the reassurance I needed for my two pups. It’s always hard for me to leave my dogs in the care of somebody else because I’m so particular and very paranoid about it overall but I definitely trust her and wouldn’t hesitate to let her watch my dogs again which says a lot. Her communication was a 10/10 even when an emergency in her own family came up she still prioritized the care of my dogs as well. Thank you so much again!! So grateful for her care.”

“Jamie stayed with our three Golden Retrievers for a week in our house. He communicated and sent multiple pictures daily. We came home to a clean house, mail and packages on the table and happy dogs. He also left us a cute goodie bag for all three dogs. Great experience, would recommend using Jamie.”
“Alyssa was wonderful. She was great with our grouchy, blind 15 year old toy poodle and she followed all instructions including medication. Easy going and trustworthy. Sent us notes and photo updates. Highly recommend her.”
About: Ive been around, and taken care of pets for my family/other friends and family for as long as I can remember. I have been trusted with the tasks of walking, grooming, medicating, and making sure the well being of the pet is at its fullest, and if it’s not, I am keen to figure out the problem. I am also very good with pets under the age of 1, as I have assisted in raising 3 litters of dogs of my own. I currently work as a freelance musician, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! My availability is very flexible, as the shows I play are in town, and only take up a small part of the day or night, so I will not be away from your pet very long, if at all! I have 5 dogs of my own, who are on a feeding/bathroom schedule that we follow daily. When I take them outside I am with them to make sure they do all they need to do so there are no accidents in the house. When taking care of your pet I will always cater to their need/routine; give them as much space, and or as much love as they need!
“Ella was able to housesit for several days over Christmas, which we were extremely grateful for as family from different locations were coming together in one location. The initial meet-and-greet went very well and I felt confident the sitting would go well as Luna was immediately very relaxed (and comfortable) with Ella. Ella was responsive to the dog sitting (and house) instructions we provided and communicated updates on how Luna was adjusting (including pictures) while we were away. Few days had to be tough because of the deep cold snap that hit the DC area on Xmas eve and day making it hard to get out for dog walks. That said, we came home to a relaxed dog. We definitely would consider having Ella housesit Luna again in the future.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Alloway
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Alloway on Rover is $86.87 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,810 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 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.
