“We cant thank Matt enough for watching Indy on our wedding day. He was able to stick by Indy’s side through all the chaos going on in the house. I was worried about our pup since it would be a new experience for him. Matt gave me regular updates on how he was doing as well as sent pictures and really put our minds at ease. 5/5 would recommend!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I have 12 years of experience taking care of my own dog as well as caring for other pets, and about 5 years of experience with cats. I’ve also grown up around smaller pets, including guinea pigs and hamsters. I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I have 12 years of experience taking care of my own dog as well as caring for other pets, and about 5 years of experience with cats. I’ve also grown up around smaller pets, including guinea pigs and hamsters. I’ve been pet sitting for the past couple of years and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality and routine. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of different ages and personalities, and I’m also comfortable administering oral medication. I’ve trained my own dog to do many tricks and understand how important patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are when caring for animals. When I’m caring for your pets, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow their normal routine, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they get the care they need. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers relaxing and getting some cuddles, I’ll take the time to make them feel comfortable. I currently offer drop-ins, walks, and in-home pet sitting. My goal is to make being away from home as easy as possible for both you and your pets. I’ll treat your fur babies like family and care for them as if they were my own. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine while caring for them in their home. I follow your instructions carefully, keep pets supervised, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care.
“Sarah is amazing! She is incredibly thorough, patient, and professional. She asked thoughtful questions about my cat that even I hadn’t thought of, and my cat was completely calm and comfortable around her. She also took amazing photos of my baby and was very attentive to everything happening in the house. She noticed and communicated anything that might need my attention, which gave me great peace of mind. I truly appreciate how caring, observant, and responsible she is. I highly recommend Sarah!”
“Brandon is receptive and communicative. He cares about my animals and was especially helpful when my dog began not feeling well and had some accidents. If he had a question to make sure he was giving my animals thr best care possible, he wasn't afraid to ask. He had his hands full with my animals but did very well and I know they were happy while I was away. Definitely will use again.”
“Loghan did a great job taking care of our 16 year old shih tzu. She was very kind and compassionate as well as respectful of our home. We would definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Fandi and Martin were extremely kind and attentive to Chloe during our week long vacation. We received just enough communication to allow us to know Chloe was in good hands! Thank you very much for keeping her busy and keeping her safe!”
“Saint loved her as soon as he met her, which was a great sign! She was so caring, followed all of our instructions, and kept us updated with pictures. We really appreciated how great she was with him and would definitely recommend her! 🐾❤️”
“Dana was prompt, kind, and gave wonderful updates a few times a day (including pics.) Our dogs are big and we really need someone who can handle them without getting overwhelmed and he handled it with ease! Also, he did everything we asked re: caring for the dogs and walking them. Highly recommend him!”
“Excellent communication and was very responsive to my request for a sitter. Sent videos and photos of my dogs to keep me updated. The dogs looked to be having a blast with her. Would use her again.”
About: I've taken care of dogs & cats for over 10 years my family friends and neighbors rely on me to care for their animals when they're gone to drop by even if it's just to keep them company and check on them these animals are my babies I believe that animals are Soul too or not just animals I'm currently looking for part-time and some weekends I'm usually available every other day after 2:00 p.m. if I don't have a doctor's appointment or something like that my schedule is very flexible but I need 24 hours notice if I'm going to do a sit Well I live in my apartment with my cat Sophie we have a routine every morning she gets her treats interaction she gets brushed and then I have my morning routine I won't be taking any pets into my home because Sophie is just not used to that so I would have to drop into your home or spend the day or whatever you and I agree upon
“What a gift to find someone who loves dogs as much as I do! Our pup, Flo, took to Tara instantly. The two of them hung out like old friends, watching the Phillies game together while Mom and Dad finally got a worry-free night out. It was a great relief knowing Flo was happy, relaxed, and in great hands. Tara has that special intuition with animals that you just can’t teach. We can’t wait to have her back! 🐾”

FAQs for House Sitting - Alnwick
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Alnwick on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,559 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alnwick. 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 Alnwick 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 Alnwick 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 Alnwick 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.

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.
