Top rated Alpha house sitters
“Ariana is an excellent and caring sitter for my ancient dog and she takes very good care of my house. I am so happy she can repeatedly take care of my special-needs dog!”
“Erin is amazing! Our dog Stoney and 2 goats love her. When we had another sitter cancel on us last minute, Erin was available and jumped right into learning the ropes of our home and animals. Our dog gets so excited to see her when she comes over. I also really appreciate the open communication and pictures sent daily. She has given us a sense of relief knowing our pets are in good hands. She also always leave the house clean!”
“This was my first time leaving my dogs with a sitter that I didn’t know well in advance, but Carter made this experience so much easier to navigate. I received regular updates (with picture included) regarding their wellbeing, and there was so much care and attention to detail regarding specific needs for both of my pups. They’re both pretty different in their needs due to their age difference of 12 years, but my anxiety ridden old guy was checked in on regularly and looked after through the night, and my nearly 11 month old was provided playtime and cuddles (her two favorite things)- so she absolutely adored him. I felt as if my instructions for their care were meticulously followed and it really helped to ease my own anxiety over my being away. He was also kind enough to tidy up my place prior to my return, which was a very nice surprise to come home to.”
“Alison was amazing as our house sitter and cat sitter while we were on a camping trip for our two kitties. This was our second time having a house sitter and the peace of mind we had was such a comfort. Even though we didn’t have reliable service she checked in with us, gave us updates and pictures and even a video of our shy kitty warming up to her for some pets. We will absolutely rebook with Alison if we need to again in the future. And while I had noticed she said something in her bio about cleaning up after her stays, the feeling of coming home after a long day of driving to a nice and tidy home was really appreciated.”
“Tiara was an outstanding sitter. She was so kind and generous with Rita. Our pup really liked her and interacted well with her. Tiara followed all our instructions regarding her care and went above and beyond to ensure our poodle was safe and happy. We have no problem recommending Tiara to any other dog owners, in fact we have already booked her again for a future trip.”
“Kendra went above and beyond taking care of our pets and our home while we were on vacation. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter, we came home to a clean house and happy pets! Great communication.”
“Rachel was such an amazing dog and house sitter. She messaged when she arrived and departed, along with sending pictures and updates on how my fur-babies were doing. I felt at peace knowing my babies were being taken care of. I highly recommend Rachel for any of your pets needs.”
“Can I give TEN stars?! We are so happy with Genesis. A gift. Peace of mind. Super responsible, attentive to my 3 dogs, caring, compassionate, capable. SO GRATEFUL for her problem solving skills and care. One of my dogs had a seizure while she was there. This is extremely rare. Maybe 3 times in his lifetime? She handled it perfectly and communicated with me so professionally and calmly. THANK YOU Genesis.?”
“Chelsie was wonderful with our 3 dogs. We have one high maintenance elderly pittie who demands attention and she was awesome with him and our other pups. She also left the house in great condition. Very happy with her service!!”
“Grace stayed in our home with my two ridgebacks for 9 days, and everything went great! I never worried about the girls one day while I was gone. She sent me pictures/videos and was always very responsive if I reached out. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a house sitter!”
About: I have lived with many different animals my whole life and have taken care of more than just my own. I have cared for friends', previous roommates' and family members' animals. Each one has quickly found me to be like a secondary owner. Of all the animals that I've cared for (birds, cats, dogs, rats, ferrets, and more) i found that I like cats, dogs, and ferrets to be the most fun and rewarding. Though I love all animals! I even make it a habit to feed and play with stray animals. I wish to bring them all home, but my apartment doesn't allow pets. Allow me to care for your pets while you're away and I'll make sure that they are happy and healthy while they await your return home. I'm currently pregnant so I'm taking some time to myself. Meaning I'm free all day every day. I'm more or a night owl, but will care for your animal whenever needed. I am very literal and follow orders to the letter. I will never do anything that you the owner haven't said is OK or not. If I have any questions I will not hesitate to contact you. The person who knows more about their animal is you the owner, so I will look to you for guidance. Want to make sure that each and every animal receives the same treatment that you give!

In my home I have space separate from my animals, a fully fenced side yard and plenty of my own tools, leashes/collars of all sizes and supplies. I am a stay at home mom with no obligations besides Sunday church! You can count on me to have lots of time for your furry friend. I can cater my care to specifically what your pet requires. As an experienced AKC handler I have seen just about every breed and temperament under the sun.

About: Hi! I’m a paraeducator who works at a local school, so I have summers off and I can’t think of a better way to spend that time than caring for dogs! I’ve always been an animal lover, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup needs playtime, snuggles, walks, or just a calm and caring presence while you’re away, I’m here to help! ☺️ My schedule is pretty open during the Summer besides spending every other weekend with friends and family. Once I go back to work in September, I will only be able to house sit as long as it is in reasonable distance from my workplace. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or favorite toys and treats. I know every pet is different, so I pay attention to their personality and comfort level, whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed. I will also make sure to keep the home clean and secure while you’re away. I’ll give updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is always to treat your home and your pet with the same respect and love I would want for my own.
About: I've been taking care of pets since I was a little kid out of my 21 years of life I've only not been around pets for 5 years. I will play with them and make sure they are feed and watered and if they are a dog I will take them out whenever they need to go out. I currently have no job and am available to show up and take of your pets for how ever long you need and whenever needed I currently live with 2 cats, I feed and water them and clean their litter box my roommates are the ones that bathe them when needed

Sophia A.
“I hired Sophie as a dog sitter when I went out of town for a work trip for a weekend. I was hesitant to leave Milly alone (new puppy) but Sophie made me feel so at ease with my dog in her care and even sent me pictures of her on the walks. She took her on two walks a day and made sure to take her to her favorite park. I would recommend Sophie whether you are looking for a dog sitter or a daily dog walker. Milly can't wait to see her again!”
