About: I have six years of experience and have work for multiple kennels. I know how to do daily routines and how to distribute medications. I give a lot of my attention to detail and make sure the pets have the best care. I actually work for a veterinary clinic at this time. Also, I care for my family member's pets on the weekends, when I have time. I normally care for any pet I have in my care in their own homes. I have in the past stayed overnight in my clients' homes.
About: I have had (and loved!) dogs and cats my entire life. I also have 10 years of animal rescue volunteer experience, primarily fostering cats and kittens, which is how I acquired my two beautiful foster fails, Penelope and Toulouse! Through rescue work, I've cared for animals from all kinds of backgrounds and learned the importance of patience, understanding, and letting each pet warm up at their own pace. I've even developed a bit of a reputation as an animal whisperer, and I'd love the chance to get to know your pets and help them feel safe and comfortable, no matter how shy they might be! I recently graduated from college and am studying for the MCAT during my gap year, so my schedule is very flexible (apart from some minimal travel plans). Typically, I volunteer in the mornings, so late morning to afternoons work a bit better for me, but with advance notification, I can usually make most times work. I am not able to care for pets at my own place, but I am happy to come to yours to take care of your pets however they need!
“Will did an amazing job watching Ellie !!! He sent pictures and videos every day, and went above and beyond caring for our fur baby!!! I would definitely recommend him to care your pets too !!!”
“She was amazing! Ivy can be a little bratty, but Emma was awesome and got her to warm up quickly! Will definitely rebook with her!!! Always prompt, kind, and caring!!!”
“Liesa was absolutely amazing! I booked so last minute and I had never just done drop-in visits for an overnight trip that we took so I was a little nervous that Charlie (my dog) wouldn’t be happy. But I was wrong! Liesa made sure to send updates every time she was there and Charlie took right to her! She took incredible care of our fur baby and I will 1000% be booking again in the future! Thank you again Liesa!”
About: I've owned dogs all of my life and can provide excellent care of your dogs. They will get plenty of love and play time as well. I currently work from home and will be able to give your dogs plenty of attention. They will fit right in with us in our home. My dog is allowed to go outside on the leash because he is old and does not go very far anymore, but I can keep your pets on a leash while in my care. I can also crate your dog.
“Sandy and Boss hit it off immediately. Her calm demeanor was nice and inviting to him. She followed our instructions and arrived on time with respect for our dog, and property. Thank you Sandy we will be sure to hire you again.”
“Abigail was fantastic! We were out of town for a few days and she took great care of our pets and home. She kept us updated and clearly paid attention to our animals. One thing I especially appreciated was that she took the time to let me know about a small behavior she noticed with our cat, Salem. It wasn't a big deal, but it showed me that she was paying attention and genuinely cared. We came home to happy pets and no potty accidents from our cat. We would absolutely use Abigail again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”

“We have used Molly for our two 4 month old pups for drop in visits! She has been great with them. She’s attentive and flexible with your needs and your pups needs! Highly recommend her and will be using her for all additional accommodations.”
About: I’ve grown up with a plethora of animals. I’ve wanted to volunteer at the humane society since i was young. I worked at pet land as a kennel tech for roughly 6 months and owned ferrets, birds, cats, and dogs. I’m currently a senior in high school saving up for college: I get out early from school and entirely free from weekends. During the week evening visits are all i’d be available for. Weekends whenever is needed. I have experienced with all kinds of animals. Troublesome dogs to cats, even ferrets and birds. So any accommodation of worry that you need i can handle.
“Dorothy was very accommodating and understanding of my very anxious Dottie. And, she made sure to be patient with my cat Bonnie and let her come to her. Thanks for taking such good care of my fur babies!”
About: I have a degree in veterinary technology and used to work in clinics and veterinary ER. I personally have three dogs, three guinea pigs a bearded dragon and am fostering a kitten. I take the care of animals to heart and cater my approach to each of their personalities. I can perform CPR if needed and am able to administer medications and help with any specialized needs. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all ages and can meet their needs. I also can manage exotic animals. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask! I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I keep my dogs on somewhat of a routine as I have semi high energy breeds. Though we do lounge around at home when they’re feeling lazy. I treat all animals with the highest level of care whether it is my own pet or someone else’s. I have my eyes on the pets at all times both inside and outside of the home. I worked in the veterinary field through college and retired in 2024. All that knowledge stays with me and I continue to stay up to date on animal care. You will get regular photo updates of your babies during my drop in’s and/or boarding.
About: I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your dog while you’re away. My goal is to make your pup feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind with regular updates and photos. I’ve cared for dogs for friends, family, and others and am comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality and routine so their stay feels as familiar and stress-free as possible. I love offering a meet-and-greet before confirming a booking so your dog has a chance to get familiar with me in a comfortable, low-pressure setting. This also gives us an opportunity to discuss your dog’s unique needs, temperament, routines, and any special considerations to help ensure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for during their stay. I work full time, but when I’m not at work I’m usually home and have plenty of time to give your pup lots of love and attention. My daughter and I love spending time outside, going on walks, and playing in our large yard, so your dog can enjoy plenty of activity and playtime with us. I have a large yard with plenty of space for dogs to play and get outside. I’ll treat your pup like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and potty routine, and my daughter and I will give them plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles.
“Monroe did a great job with my cats. They are very reclusive so she didn't actually see them, but she visited faithfully and took care of their needs. She is very pleasant and cooperative to work with. Highly recommend.”

About: Animals are my passion! Not only have I grown up around them and worked with them for 5+ years but they are a part of my chosen career field. I am currently a veterinary assistant at a local veterinary clinic and am enrolled in school in pursuit of a veterinary technology degree! I am a recent college graduate beginning her journey in exotic animal care! I have been taking care of animals, dogs especially, for my entire life and want nothing more than continuing to do so. I have 3 years of experience working in dog boarding facilities and another 3 years of experience in puppy care. Recently I re-enrolled in college to become a registered veterinary technician. Between work and home, I am around animals 24 hours a day most days. I can provide daily exercise, mental stimulation, and love to all and have no problem meeting the special needs of the animals in my care. My attention will be on them, their happiness, and most of all their health during our time together.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alpha
My family is new to the area and had to find a new sitter for our two cats, after having had the same sitter for many years. Annika took excellent care of our cats - sending updates regularly that showed they were getting lots of attention and play while we were gone. The updates showed a lot of attentiveness and we felt reassured our cats (and home) were in good hands while gone. So happy to now have a new permanent sitter when we are gone!
Emily helped me transport my cats after surgery, and she was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly punctual, gentle, and took great care of my cats throughout the entire ride. Sending your pets with someone can be stressful, but Emily’s communication made me feel completely at ease. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Alpha is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $32 per visit. 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 1,108 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Alpha. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alpha. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
