“Kelly was so amazing!! She was very communicative and made sure to send me lots of pictures. I am pretty sure she even vacuumed which I was not expecting but so grateful. I would absolutely book with her again and plan on doing!”
“We had to find a pet sitter with little notice after a death in the family. I had never used a professional service and was very nervous. We had rescued a stray who recently had kittens, and we have other cats. I felt comfortable with Laurel from the beginning. She was kind and really seemed to enjoy watching pets. She sent updates on everyone and pics of the kittens. I would recommend Laurel to anyone. Thank you!”
About: I grew up with 2 cats and 2 dogs. I have since adopted 3 cats and 2 dogs of my own! Providing love and care for fur babies is my top priority! I work full time as a teacher, but am available for afternoon and evening walks and visits during the week. On weekend I have open availability! I have a fenced yard for my 2 dogs to run and play safely. My cats lives a lavish life with their 4 tiered cat tree. Our dogs and cats have a special diet of the best natural ingredients for their individual health needs.
“Will definitely be calling Adria again. My babies loved here. They woke up Sunday morning and went straight to her room looking for her. House was kept clean and my fur babies were well taken care of.What more can you ask for.”
“I would give Kennedy 100 stars if I could! She was an absolute team player and stepped in immediately when we had another bad sitter experience. Kennedy took on the job with little to no insight and not getting to meet us or our pets ahead of time. She took over in the most effortless way and let us enjoy the remainder of our vacation knowing our pets were in such excellent hands! She communicated very well and even communicated more to ease our anxiety. Kennedy is a rockstar and took initiative on asking if I needed any care of stuff I didn’t mention in my notes or a drop in before we made it home! Words will never be enough to praise her great work ethic. She truly cares about your pets like her own. Thank you for absolutely everything you did to help us Kennedy!”
About: Hello! If you choose me to take care of your dog, you will be choosing someone who loves other dogs as much as her own. My three are properly spoiled, loved, and yours would get the same treatment or as you require. I have owned dogs since I was very young as well as an exotic pet for over a year. I work in Nashville and live in Wilson County so I am open early mornings and after work hours in those areas. For housesitting, weekends are the optimal period for the most socializing for your dog(s)! Please feel free to ask any questions about myself. i can also provide references for those I have house sat and taken care of their dogs for recently. Thank you for visiting my page Shelby C. I don’t usually have plans after work so I usually go to work and directly come home. Weekends are always free so why not also do Housesitting to fill that in. I am detailed oriented so kid your furry one requires particular steps in their daily life, I have experience in following very detailed plans and can provide references from those people.
About: I’ve been taking care of friends and family members’ pets my whole life. When I walk into a room or see pet owners on the street I greet the dogs first! My friends and family often get jealous because their dogs will want to be near me or sleep in my bed when I’m around. My favorite past time is taking my pooches to the dog park to make new friends and out on walks and hikes in the woods. I love giving animals full love and attention because they really are the best of us and ask so little in return for their unconditional love. I create my own schedule, piecing together my different offerings, so I can give your babies the love and attention they deserve when they need it. I’ll make sure your pets are fed and let out when they need it. I’m very attentive to animals cues and respond accordingly. Beyond the basics of feeding, walking and potty breaks I’ll give your pets the individual love and attention they need.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals and have worked professionally with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. My experience includes everything from energetic puppies and large playgroups to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m also experienced with cats and understand that every cat has their own personality and comfort level! I have experience caring for birds as well, so I’m comfortable providing care for a variety of pets. I’m trained in pet CPR and First Aid and am knowledgeable about animal body language, behavior, and creating a safe, positive environment for every pet! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, consistent care for your pets. I’m currently available for drop ins visits, walks, and house sitting, and I have plenty of hands on experience caring for animals with different routines and needs.

“Elizabeth was extremely attentive and interactive while Maggie was with her. We received constant updates with picture which went a long way to sooth our anxieties. She welcomed our dog into her pack and gave us the feeling of a very safe, secure and caring environment for her. And, she was very near our home which was a huge bonus. I would highly recommend Elizabeth.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Alonzo is $28 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $32 per night.

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 Alonzo 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 Alonzo 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 Alonzo 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.
