“We have used Teresa several times now and she always does a great job. The house is in great condition and our pup seems very happy. She is very good to respond to communication while we’re away. Will definitely continue to use her.”
“Kymber did an amazing job with my pups! I have 2 crazy pugs and she was able to handle them great! I even had to ask her hand feed one of my other dogs, which she did great with!”
“Kristen is awesome, neighbors stopped me to comment on what a great job she did & how wonderful she was. She communicated well & gave updates & pictures. The house was immaculate. Would use again.”

“Maya and Griffin LOVE Sofia as do I! She takes excellent care of them as well as our home. Very respectful of our place, totally trustworthy, and very dependable. I'm so thankful to have her as our dog sitter.”
“Bethany watched my 3 dogs while I was away for a long weekend. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! She kept me updated with pictures, followed all instructions, and gave my pups so much love and attention. So thankful to have a peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind dog sitter!”
About: I have a lifetime of experience of taking care of dogs, but I also started volunteering at a local animal shelter when I was about 10 years old, where I gained experience interacting with dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have provided daily care with dogs ranging from 15 pounds to 110 pounds and am comfortable providing attentive and loving care to dogs of any breed. I’m currently working a summer job that allows me to be flexible and change my scheduling around a little bit. In the fall, I am starting classes for college and plan on working as a CNA part-time, mostly on my days off from class which is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This is undecided, but i will fit your dog into my routine more than once daily and can even stay the night at the house if it’s more convenient for the owners. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I will provide attentive care through feeding, walks around their neighborhood, playtime, and most importantly making sure they feel safe and loved while their owner is away.
“Cheryl was amazing! She spoiled our 100 lb German shepherd and gave us lots of updates. We returned home to a super clean home and everything taken care of. Can’t wait to book Cheryl again, I think our dog had a better vacation than we did lol!”
“Sarah was great! She housesat for us and watched our two dogs. She brought her dog who got along so well with our younger, anxious dog. She left our house clean and spotless. She sent several pics and updates throughout the day. We will definitely reach out to her in the future if we need someone to housesit.”
“Vanessa is the sweetest! She took such good care of our pups while we were gone for the weekend and left our apartment looking spectacular! You can really tell she loves animals and that is so important to us. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Kim was amazing with our 2 fur babies ! She made it so easy and eased our minds about leaving our puppets at home under her care. Falkor and Seraphina immediately took to Kim and were sad when it was time for her to go home. Highly recommend Kim ❣️❣️❣️🐾🐾🐾🐾”
“We appreciate that Lexi could come stay with our pups at our motel room while we attended a concert for a few hours. She did a great job and sent pics to us while we were gone. I would highly recommend her to anyone in/staying in the Spokane area. Thank you Lexi!”
“Karen was wonderful with the cats and we are so appreciative of her taking care of them and our house while we were gone. It’s such a peace of mind to be able to go away on vacation knowing that everything is taken care of and Karen provided that comfort to us. Thanks again!”
“Lindsey made me feel super at ease as a first time Rover user. I needed someone to house sit as well as pet sit and she made sure everything and everyone was well taken care of! When we arrived home the house was clean and the pets were happy! Highly recommend.”
“In our experience, Brandi was an excellent choice as our pet and house sitter. Our dog, Maya, seemed to genuinely enjoy her company, and we felt at ease entrusting our home and furry friend to her care. We definitely intend to reach out to Brandi again for future pet sitting needs.”

Caitlin did an amazing job caring for our three fur babies! She made sure all the daily feedings, treats, litter boxes, and everything else were taken care of every day, and she kept us updated the whole time we were away. She also sent pictures, which we really appreciated because it made us feel even more connected and reassured that everyone was doing well. One of the main reasons we decided to book with her was because she was so attentive during the meet and greet. She asked a lot of thoughtful questions and really made it clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she’s looking after. It immediately made us feel confident leaving our pets in her care. At the end of the booking, she even cleaned up and left everything nice and tidy, which was such a thoughtful touch. She also sent a little follow up message afterward, which we really appreciated. Overall, we felt completely comfortable with Caitlin and will 100% be booking with her again in the future!
Amy went above and beyond at every turn! She came out for two meet-and-greets and hung around for a while to really get to know them. Our cat and dog are usually very shy around people and take a long time to get comfortable, but Amy put in a ton of effort to win them over and they adored her. We got back from our trip, and they clearly miss her a lot! She also took care of our two tortoises and asked a ton of questions and learned about all their quirks and care needs. She paid incredible attention to them and she did way more than meet their needs. Amy stayed at our house for 3 nights and left the place cleaner than it was when I left. We are beyond grateful to have had her as our house and pet sitter these last few days.

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 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 694 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.
