“Hannah aka Mikki house sat for us and watched our mini dachshund. We did a meet and greet a few days prior to our trip (which we booked with her on short notice) and she was so great with Banjo, even totally unphased by his typical dachshund barking. She seems to truly love her job and love animals. She checked in while we were out of town and sent pictures. This was hands down the best experience we’ve ever had with a Rover sitter and we will absolutely be booking her again.”
“Elizabeth watched our pets, 2 dogs and 1 cat, for 4 nights in our home. She was fantastic! Everyone was happy when we got home and she left the house tidy. Our cat, who sleeps with our son regularly and doesn’t sleep with me even when my son is gone, slept with Elizabeth in my room! He’s a little selective about people so I’m impressed that she won him over.”
“Miley was super nice and our cats loved her. She was very responsive and gave plenty of updates while we were gone. One of our cats ended up getting sick not long before we left. Miley gave her medication and gave her extra attention.”
“Cheryl has been a Godsent to me and my kiddos! These 2 I have are extremely high energy level and Cheryl handled them with ease and took great care of the house even in the midst of some serious storms! Highly recommend her for anyone's needs!”
“Kiana was great, as usual! She was flexible with a scheduling error and still made sure the boys were taken care of while we were out of the country! Based on pictures, it’s clear the boys feel very comfortable with her, which puts us at ease while away!”
“Our beach trip was at risk due to unavailability of our usual dog/house sitter. Found Elly on Rover and she was great! Provided photo updates of our dog that kept our minds at ease. Bo typically is quite anxious when we are gone and it takes several days after we return for him to calm back down. This time he was fine immediately. Elly also tended to our mail, etc. Highly recommend.”
“India was fantastic! One of my dogs is a rescue and takes extra care to work with. India took the time to meet him beforehand and worked with me to formulate a plan so the visit went smoothly. Everything went great and we plan to work with India as much as possible!”
“This was Savannah’s first time sitting for us so I was understandably a little nervous. We have an older dog that needs medication and special attention. Savannah was awesome! She communicated with me regularly and followed all the detailed instructions that I left for her. I’m glad that we were able to find her on Rover and look forward to her next stay. Oh...and our pups loved her too!”
About: I have been around pets all of my life, dogs and cats alike. I have also had my own pets that I’ve taken care of. I have 3 years of experience privately sitting for friends and acquaintances. I strive to follow the pets routine and respect all boundaries your pat may have. I am available after before 8 am and after 6pm on weekdays and most weekends I am available all day. I do not board in my own home as. I have cats who like their space. When I am taking care of pets I always make sure they have a clean environment including food and water bowls. I speak softly and kindly to pet and show them the attention they need or give them space when they need it due to nerves.
About: I am available 24 hours a day 7 days a week including all holidays. I am a huge animal lover and treat all animals as I would a member of my own family. I can provide additional services if needed such as: Vet Office visits, pickup food & supplies, bathing and some light grooming if needed. If you feel your special friend needs a day of pampering but you just don't have the time to take them I can also provide delivery to some of the local spas. If you ever feel like your best friend is not getting the attention or care that they deserve due to your busy lifestyle I assure you I can assist you with this. I may even be able to provide tips of how you can spend more time with them depending on the situation. I want you to never feel like you have no options or choices when it comes to spending time with your dog('s). In the very near future I will be providing 24 hour surveillance and location (GPS) services to all of my clients for a small additional fee to cover equipment costs.
“Robin did a fantastic job taking care of my fur kids. I came home to a very content atmosphere. I needed to be able to count on someone staying with them until I got home. I had a very late flight home and she took care of them until I landed. Will definitely use again.”
“Sophie is always amazing but this time she had to deal with the crisis of my older pup passing away. She rushed him to the vet and stayed with my sweet boy the entire time. I can never thank her enough for the extra care she gave my pups. Thank you Sophie!”
About: I love dogs, animals & to hang out with them, i will be happy to take care of your doggy and go see what is new around the world and country side! Will be active and happy together. I don't like sitting inside home and i think dogs either. I grew up with Lab all my early life and i know that dog is important family member. I have realized that sometimes dog is better friend than some people. I don’t think that people need very specific skills to love dog, because dogs are always so happy to see people and if you have lived with dog all your life you know pets language. ''A dog will teach you unconditional love. If you can have that in your life, things won't be too hard.'' I do work from home office and i sit whole day so i love to go for a walks after i have stared in computer for hours. I always make sure they are fed, they have enough water, they are happy and well. My care and additionally what owner have asked for.

“Andrew was amazing, had to book him on a holiday weekend at the last moment and he came through in the best possible way. Highly recommend and can’t wait to have him watch my boys again. Thank you!!”
“We are repeat customers and highly recommend Kathy for your pet watching needs! This is the 3rd time Kathy has watched our girls this year. Kathy stayed at our house and took care of our 2 pups (Aussies), and our house, while we were away for 5-6 days for this trip. Kathy is very reliable, works with you, takes great care of the pups, and has great communication. As soon as we make future vacation plans, we will be reaching out again to book with Kathy!”
“Allie did a great job of watching our dogs while we were away. She was communicative and left our house looking great! She followed our instructions well, and I would not hesitate to hire her again in the future.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Almaville is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $56 per night.

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 Almaville 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 Almaville 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 Almaville 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.
