“Isabella did a great job with our two dogs overnight! We had some changes last minute on our end to arrival and departure times and she was very flexible with our needs. She sent lots of pictures, asked good questions, followed our instructions, and we came back to happy dogs! Thank you!!”
“Jordyn was wonderful with Sally. She kept us up to date on how Sally was doing and took her out often, even in this cold weather. She was very flexible with scheduling and on time. Sally is a big fan! We will definitely us Jordyn again. Thank you Jordyn!”
“Heather was amazing! She took such good care of our two big dogs and sent us plenty of pictures and updates. It really set our minds at ease to have a competant adult who loves dogs here in our home. I will definitely be booking again.”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own baby. It is important to have someone you trust while you’re away so you don’t spend your trip worrying!! I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, quirks, and comfort level. Whether that means long walks, extra playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply keeping them company in their favorite spot, I want their routine to feel as normal as possible while you’re gone. I’m dependable, communicative, and will always keep you updated with plenty of photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy :) Work fully remote, available anytime! I have weekends available as well just let me know what you and your let need and I’m there! My dog is crate trained as well to provide space for your dog as well if need be. I have 2 dog parks down stairs with a quiet neighborhood to go for walks in and plenty of room for your pet to play!
“Samantha is an amazing pet sitter! She was very responsive sending photos of my pups and updates multiple times a day. I felt completely comfortable having her care for my two dogs. I will absolutely have her come again. Thanks Samantha!!”
About: I have been a dog owner for the last 13 years. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds. I aim to keep your dog comfortable, happy, and safe while in my care. I have open availability during the weekend. I am a stay at home mom to two full time students so day time availability is possible also. I am open to any and all tips on caring for your pets. I will always keep open communication with you should any issues arise.
“Jacqueline took good care of my Jojo while I had to be on a work trip. She always communicated with me, sent pictures, and Jojo enjoyed being with her. Jojo is a reactive dog, and Jacqueline handled it well. I definitely recommend Jacqueline for dogwalking, sitting, etc!”
About: Hi! My name is Allison, and I'm a passionate animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility for the past four years, where I've gained extensive experience handling groups of dogs, recognizing behavior cues, and providing safe, attentive care in a fast-paced environment. I'm also an approved veterinary assistant, which has given me additional training in animal health and wellness. I'm experienced in administering both oral and topical medications and know how to monitor pets for signs of illness or discomfort. Your pet's safety, health, and happiness will always be my top priority. In addition to working with animals, I'm a full-time college student and college cheerleader, so I'm responsible, dependable, and great at managing my time. I'm looking to earn some extra income doing what I truly love—caring for pets and giving them the same love and attention they receive at home. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight care, you can count on me to provide personalized, compassionate care. I'll treat your pet like family and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout every visit so you can relax knowing they're in caring, experienced hands. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! While I will have a busy schedule, I will always make it a priority to make sure your pet is well taken care of while you’re away! This includes sticking to their schedule to the best of my ability, making sure they get all their energy out before bed time, or anything else they need!
“Sydney has watched our house and pets a couple of times. We hope she'll keep coming back. She's very attentive and sweet with them. Very considerate and communicative with us. We appreciate her very much!”
About: I go above and beyond what is expected of me. I will complete a task given to me quickly and efficiently. I enjoy being a helping hand and making sure I reach people’s needs and expectations. I usually work from 6:45am-4:00 pm Monday through Friday but after that I am free to help out. Weekends I am free and can help take care of your home and/or pets when needed. In my home we take training and manners from our pets very seriously. I have 3 pit bulls and all have been trained properly by the people in my household. They get let out 3 times a day, fed twice, and must be taken on a walk before they eat their dinner meal.
“Stephanie is a God send. We were in a real emergency and called her at 5pm to come and take care of Frito. She did not hesitate. She came over later that night and stayed through the morning. She sent us pictures of Frito and he was so happy and relaxed. Frito is a naturally anxious dog, we adopted him through a kill shelter. This is the amazing part. She had met Frito once but had not sat for him yet - we have a future booking. We were so confident once we met Stephanie that we knew Frito would be lovingly cared for. Stephanie goes above and beyond (as demonstrated here). She was intuitive with our Frito and knew exactly what he needed. We feel so grateful to have Stephanie as Frito's sitter and you will too.”
About: About us: I stumbled onto Rover in August 2022 after trying to think of ways to make a little extra money while working at home, full-time, and with 3 kids (approaching middle and high school) that have wanted a dog since probably before they were born. I grew up with dogs and wanted a dog too! But I also didn’t want the vet visits, food expenses…what do we do with a dog when we want to travel? Fast forward to now and dog-sitting has been a truly epic, awesome experience for all of us. By the time you read this it’s likely we will have reached triple digits of dogs that have stayed here. My kids get to learn about ALL different kinds of dogs which has turned them into lifelong dog lovers. I get the companionship I’m looking for while having a flexible hybrid work schedule. And when you choose us your dog becomes part of our pack, and given the very best care 24/7. I am fully aware that your dog is a member of your family and I truly appreciate your trust in selecting us to care for them. I believe strongly in supporting and giving back to the community, so in addition to fostering dogs we also give a portion of my Rover income back to the local animal shelter. Win-win! What it’s like here: We have a huge fenced-in yard with a horse farm behind us so lots of interesting sights, sounds and smells for your doggie to experience. Many like to hang out on the deck and watch the horses behind our home. Your dog will come home relaxed and happy. Many repeat clients tell me their dogs get excited as soon as they turn onto our street for the next visit because they have happy memories of their last stay. We can hang out with your pooch for doggie day care, overnight, weekend visits, short-term (1-2 weeks), and long-term stays (>2 weeks). We will follow your instructions to a T. Is your dog allowed on your couch? Sure, us too! Does your dog sleep with you? Okay, we can do that! No crate? Sounds great! We want them to enjoy themselves as much as we enjoy having them here. They are truly our guest. It's amazing how quickly the dogs adapt and become part of the family. I’ve cared for dogs that require oral and injected medication, senior dogs, dogs with anxiety, and dogs with diapers. YOUR dog is most welcome. I love figuring out what makes them feel safe and comfortable. Did you know? When searching for a sitter check if the review is flagged "verified stay". Anyone can write a review so only the ones that are flagged this way are legitimate Rover stays!
“Ally was amazing! My pup needs medication 3 times a day, which is why I chose to use Rover. She took great care of his needs with his meds, food, going outside...everything! We had her stay at our home with him, which helped him feel comfortable that he was with someone in his own environment. Ally is kind, loves animals and followed all or our requests for our pup's care. I will definitely be utilizing her again when we're in need. Thank you so much, Ally. You are the best!!”
“Fantastic job with our cat— took the time to play and spend time with him. Our cat got more comfortable more quickly than he does with most sitters. During our meet and greet, you could tell he loves animals. Would book again 100%.”

Isabella did a great job with our two dogs overnight! We had some changes last minute on our end to arrival and departure times and she was very flexible with our needs. She sent lots of pictures, asked good questions, followed our instructions, and we came back to happy dogs! Thank you!!
Scott took great care of our animals! We have two rascally dogs, and three cats who keep us busy. Our largest dog weighs 160 pounds and was so traumatized the last time we brought him to a bordering facility he didn’t stop crying for two weeks after we brought him home. After staying in our home with Scott the dogs were happy to see us, but fully themselves and the happy dogs we left. Additionally, the house was clean and neat when we got home. Thank you Scott!
Heather was so great with our senior dog. She stayed at our house and it was so nice to know our dog was cared for while we were gone. Our dog is not easy, she has mobility and potty issues and Heather handled her so well. She was very communicative while we were away, sent us daily updates and pictures.
Alyssa is wonderful and took such good care of our animal family. She is a gem and was a perfect fit for our furry ones! It was a pleasure working with her! She is very kind, caring, responsible and professional. Jakey, our dog, was happy to see us when we returned home, but he was also looking for Alyssa, his new best friend. Look forward to using her in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Almora
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Almora is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $37 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 4,275 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Almora. 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 Almora 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 Almora 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 Almora 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 Almora. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
