“Our first visit with Avery and it was Great! Avery seemed to bond with our Dog Harley almost immediately from first meet and greet. She was prompt with communication and photos . We will definitely will not hesitate to use her pet care again in the future.”
“THANK YOU so much for taking such good care of Freya! We had Katelynn stay at our house for 5 days and we got so many updates about how Freya was doing. Will ABSOLUTELY continue to book Katelynn, especially since we have a major surgery coming up for Freya and there might be days where I cannot come home and check on her during work. Thanks again!”
“This was the first time that I had Isaac watch my dogs. I had him house/dog sit for me. I originally chose him because of his professionalism in our texting discussions and his promptness with returning messages. We had an initial meet and greet, which he was on time for, and the dogs seemed to like him right away. While I was gone, Isaac sent pictures and updates of how things were going. When I got home, I was amazed at how clean my house was. Typically when I get home from a trip there is dog fur everywhere because my dogs shed very badly. I usually tell my dog sitters where the vacuum is in case the hair starts to bother them, but I do not expect them to vacuum the house for me. However, I never mentioned any of this to Isaac, he just took it upon himself to vacuum the house. The blankets were folded nicely on the dog beds, and on the couch. He even got my mail out of the mailbox and left it sitting for me in the house. These were all extra things that I never asked of him, he just took the initiative to do these things on his own. It was nice coming home to a house I didn’t have to immediately vacuum! I can’t say enough good things about Isaac, I will definitely check with him first when I have to leave town again!”
“Heather watched our dog for a long weekend and she was absolutely wonderful. You can tell she truly cares for your pets. She sent updates and pictures frequently and was wonderful at communicating. We will for sure be having her watch our dog again.”
“Valerie did an amazing job with our three doggos. She was very easy to communicate with, sent us daily pics and we came home to a clean house and very happy pups! We would 100% use her services again and recommend anyone who is looking for a very caring individual who will treat your pets like her own!”
“We are beyond grateful to have found Stephanie who allowed us to enjoy a week while she stepped in and took care of our babies. Moving here without local friends or family and leaving our babies was frightening, even to the point where we considered cancelling our vacation. After meeting Stephanie, we felt at ease to leave our attention needing 8 year old Frenchie and geriatric bunny under her care. We received daily pictures and videos which helped so much to give us that peace of mind we very much needed. Also, our house was exactly the way we left it. Stephanie is very respectful and loving, we would recommend her to anyone. We look forward to our next getaway and without any hesitation, we will be using Stephanie again.”
“Scott was amazing with our two dogs! He took fantastic care of our dogs and our home while we were away. We got regular updates and communication which gave us the reassurance they were in great hands. They got daily walks and playtime. Highly recommend Scott and would rebook him in the future!”
“Very reliable and always punctual. Considerate of our routines and home. Gives me a peace of mind knowing my anxious girl has someone to lean on while we are gone. Appreciate that Marylin will communicate with me throughout her stay with my precious pup. She is just what my girl needs…..a calm, confident member of the pack”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Currently live with 2 dogs and 2 cats, and my family has 3 other dogs! I’ve dog-sat for many years, both staying at homes and frequently checking in. I have a natural way of connecting with animals, and I love spending time with them! During the summer, I will have availability to walk dogs, let dogs out, and care for pets during the day and evenings on weekdays. June weekdays I am available after 12, and July weekdays I am available all day. Weekend availability is not consistent throughout the summer. I live with two dogs and two cats. I walk the dogs frequently, feed them breakfast and dinner, and keep their spaces clean and safe! I monitor pets as they chew on toys, and throw away toys that could be dangerous. Managing 4 pets is a handful, but I love it!
About: I am 19 years old and I like to go by Leslie. Growing up on a farm along with multiple giant dogs, I've learned my fair share of pet care. Learning to handle and bathe dogs from the smallest Toy Poodle all the way to the largest Great Dane from volunteering. Speaking of Danes; I share my home with two rescue Great Danes and a Sun Conure. I specialize in dogs and am a former volunteer at Anderson Animal Shelter and Anderson's Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. I can sit for your pets almost any day! I'm free most of the time, other than when I'm out meeting other pets. I provide a large yard for my dogs, a seperate room for my bird, frequent vet checkups, healthy diets, all day access to water and outdoors, moderated chewys and toys, and a personal dog cage for sleeping in at night. In a client's home, instructions and routines are taken very seriously, no matter how specific, to ensure that a pet is well taken care of at all times.
About: I enjoy meeting new clients and dogs everyday! Training puppies/ dogs who need help with training/dog language. I like to make sure the clients dog is happy, and enjoying my company. Making sure dogs sit for a treat, is a great way to make sure sure they know how to sit for a treat! It’s always good practice! It also is good with there food too! I work part time at a doggy daycare in carol stream. I enjoy meeting new clients/ dogs when they are brought into my work! I love to train newer puppies how to play, sit and stay! I have a fenced in yard and I enjoying spending some relaxing time with my pup! I get to play with him outside a lot. Sometime I will take him on a walk with me!
“I help rescue and foster special needs dogs, those physically or mentally abused. While helping Sadie as a temporary foster, no one in the rescue group was willing to take care of her. So, I decided to add her to my family. I say this because I need someone that understand how to care for Sadie emotional needs. From the very first time Sadie and I met Jordyn, we knew she would be the perfect sitter when I travel for work. Jordyn gave so much love to Sadie while I was gone that I was able to focus on work and not worry about Sadie. Jordyn was amazing sending me updates and photos!! When I travel for work in the future Jordyn will be the only person I call to take care of Sadie.”
About: I have 2 years of experience working at Petsuites, a doggy daycare and overnight boarding resort. I worked with both the pet parents and the dogs to make sure they had the best possible experience! I’ve also owned dogs and cats my whole life. I currently have 3 dogs, (Cubby, Luna, and Preston) and 3 cats, (Pumpkin, Zelda, and Pierre). I am currently taking 2 summer classes, 1 is online and I can do whenever, the other one is from 2-3:40 pm on Monday to Wednesday. I have a fenced yard with cut grass, gates to areas they can’t be in, and a ton of toys! I set multiple timers to make sure all of my pets needs are met on time.
“Erika was very communicative. She provided twice daily oral medication to our senior dog, Thor and gave daily updates. Erika left the house very clean too. It was so nice to come home to a happy dog. We will definitely book again!”
About: hihi I'm Ariel! I have owned, fostered, and rehabilitated animals my whole life. I have grown up in a home full of dogs and cats at all times and fostering even more! My family currently has 3 dogs, 2 small dogs and 1 big boy cane corso! I have experience with dogs big, small, old, young, disabled etc. I have fostered and pet sitted for plenty of cats, kittens, adults, seniors!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Almora
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.
Scott was amazing with our two dogs! He took fantastic care of our dogs and our home while we were away. We got regular updates and communication which gave us the reassurance they were in great hands. They got daily walks and playtime. Highly recommend Scott and would rebook him in the future!
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!
Karlie was great with all 3 of our dogs. This was the first time I have ever used a service to take care of my dogs. Karlie came to my house twice before our trip to get to know the dogs, etc. You could tell Karlie is a "dog person" since I could tell the dogs liked her. That really helped us enjoy our vacation so much more knowing that they were in good hands. Karlie responded to text messages quickly. Got updates on dogs and pix while I was on vacation. Now that I have gone through this process and found someone we like, we definitely will hire Karlie again.
Eloise was absolutely wonderful with Bella and Archie! She sent periodic updates throughout her time with them and I felt incredibly comfortable with her watching the loves of my life! I will absolutely book with Eloise again and I highly recommend her for any of your pet needs!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Almora on Rover is $81.97 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 4,617 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Almora. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
