About: I love being active and outdoors, dogs always have a special place in my heart. I am currently a veterinarian assistant and have been working with animals for over 7 years through the military. I have been trained on: first aid, grooming, hygiene, and care for all animals. Working with dogs of all sizes helps me better my skills so I can someday be a vetanarian and open my own hospital. I strongly believe that dogs are men best friend and should be treated with the best care and love. Running around with young and energetic dogs or walking and relaxing with older and relaxed dogs I love them both. And I look forward to having this great opertonity and experience with your dog. I work relief for a vet hospital but my availability is very flexible. I am able to take your pet out twice a day if needed. I have a fenced in back yard and a nice neighborhood where we are able to run and walk with our dogs. So there is plenty of space to play and relax.
“They were very kind and attentive to all of the care instructions for our three pups! All of our dogs loved them and seemed very happy and well cared for when we got home. They left our home nice and clean as well. Would definitely rebook with them :)”
About: Since the day I was born until this day I have had at least 7 different dogs in my family! I find so much joy in playing with them and seeing them have fun. I have dealt with all kinds of dogs; shy, aggressive, hyper(my favorite), mischievous,..... basically all of them :) I have pet sat for my friends and family’s dogs while they were on vacation and enjoyed every second. I am also an Olympic weightlifter so if you’re worried about your strong pup pulling too much on the leash, there’s no need to fret. I can hold them back! There is not one since dog that I didn’t find myself to love and adore with all my heart. I would love to take care of your pups whenever you need me to!! :) I am currently free all day Monday-Saturday, so my schedule is flexible! :) I am able to do drop ins three times a day to ensure that your animals get the care that they need. Primarily, I will make sure your pets feel safe and are well taken care of! I will ensure that your pet gets lots of love and play time while you are gone
“Our girls were really drawn to Rammiyah, esp the shy one. They appeared well and the house in order. I would have liked more pictures but communication was good. Definitely would rehire her!”
About: I’ve always loved animals since I was a child so being knowledgeable on creatures is one of my strong suits. I’ve trained for a few years and I’ve taken care of animals for longer. Wether it be fish, rodent, feline or canine, I’ve been called to watch, heron, and/ or feed all types of creatures Whether it’s early morning or late at night always available to engage with creatures. Man best friend, cat or dog I’m willing to take my time of the day to take care of said animals It always depends on the animal itself on how you should take care of them during stress. Usually I’d follow and rules/ procedures the owner have for said pet but if there weren’t any specifics I’d just do the base line of what they need and read body language
“Tara was excellent caring for my cats during a weekend trip I took. Aside from the basics, she gave them companionship and loving care during my absence. I will absolutely use Tara again. She was respectful of my home, communicated with me often and sent pictures while I was away. Thank you so much Tara!”
“Joalice provided excellent care for our senior large dog. She is responsible, kind and communicative. She also took care of our home. We highly recommend Joalice and hope we can see her again soon.”

I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals and am happy to provide loving, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs.

I can also do holidays. I know how to handle dogs or pups and cats or kittens. I take care in making sure all instructions are followed with utmost precision
“As first-time Rover users, we were initially nervous, but Taryn immediately set our minds at ease. She warmly suggested a meet-and-greet to ensure it was a good fit for us and our pets. While we were away, Taryn was excellent with communication, checking in upon arrival and sending regular photos and updates. Coming home was a delight; our house was spotless, our dogs were happy, fed, and well-exercised, and Taryn had even thoughtfully started a load of household linens in the wash. We have no doubt our animals adored her and received the very best care. We will absolutely be asking Taryn to return!”
“Torie went above and beyond to ensure our pups were taken care of while we were away. She communicated with us daily, giving updates and pictures of our pups which gave us a peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. Will definitely book again!”
“Preston did an absolutely outstanding job caring for our animals while we were away for a week. Our dog, who is both highly anxious and sometimes aggressive, completely warmed up to him - a true testament to Preston’s patience and skill. He not only gave our dog the care and attention he needed but also made sure our two cats, two mini horses, and donkey were all well cared for and happy. We came home to a tidy house, content animals, and total peace of mind knowing everything had been handled so well. If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring pet sitter, Preston is the one!”

“I highly recommend Eric! As a pet sitter myself, it’s tough leaving your beloved animals with someone else, but Eric took wonderful care of our two rescue dogs and one rescue cat. He provided daily updates with pictures … and we came back to happy animals and a clean home😊 Do yourself a favor and book him!”
“Savannah is an absolute gem! She recently took care of our 3 pups and our home while we spent a week at the beach, and she went above and beyond! She made sure we were updated on how the pups were doing and actively looked for ways to help us around our home to make our return so much easier. Our pups were so happy when we came home, we could tell they received so much TLC. Highly recommend!”
“Anna was a pleasant surprise after meeting with her. It was obvious she had been around animals all her life and was very familiar with their behavior. One of my cats took an immediate liking to her. The other cat, who is skittish and scared, warmed up to her in the four days I was away. Anna did not push and let her adapt on her own time. Both cats were calm and happy when I got home. Anna gave them her full attention and made sure they were spoiled and well cared for. Additionally, she took care of things in my home that I didn't expect, and I was very grateful. It is such a relief to have found someone that loves my cats like I do, is reliable, dependable and personable. So happy that I can travel without worrying about the care my babies receive. Thank you, Anna!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Almon is $30 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $30 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.

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 Almon 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 Almon 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 Almon 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.
