Ruby exceeded our expectations in caring for our Aussies. She came by to check in right before we left for our trip and provided us with regular updates and adorable photos. Our dogs were calm and happy when we returned, a testament to her exceptional care. She was diligent in cleaning up after herself and took the initiative to strip the bed and place the dog dishes in the sink. We couldn't be happier with her service and will undoubtedly book Ruby again for our future pet sitting needs!

About: I have experience caring for dogs through friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve handled feeding, walks, playtime, and overnight stays. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and routines and always aim to make them feel safe and comfortable. I am currently seeking for a job and have a really flexible schedule for pet care throughout the week including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I could possibly do weekends, but it depends on how available I can be to help. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any other specific instructions provided. I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe in their own environment.

Amanda is amazing with my two dogs. One of them has separation anxiety and he was calm and playful the entire time we were gone. Amanda sent us regular updates. We plan to book with her again.

Ehryn is truly exceptional! She played with Charlee, got to know her, cared for her. Ehryn also cared for our yard as we had arranged and left detailed written messages about her activities. Clearly a capable and loving companion for our pooch.

Devyn watched my dog somewhat last minute while I attended an event. I got home later than expected and she had stayed with him, which means a lot to me. I would definitely have her watch my dog again. Thanks Devyn!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, house birds, falcons, rodents, fish, chickens, ducks, and plenty of other animals since I was a child and have helped care for both young and senior pets I’m currently unemployed searching for jobs, so my routine is really flexible, only needing to set aside time for job interviews and family. I currently have the ability for extended house/pet sitting needs. I do not have the ability for boarding animals currently, however with the services I currently offer I am gentle and respectful of all animals, their owners, and the owners property.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and I absolutely adore them! I have experience with small dogs as well as big dogs (around 100 lbs.). Most of my experience has been with younger, healthy dogs, but I'm open to older and special care dogs as well. My care routine is flexible depending on yours and your dog's schedule. If you're dog has a specific routine that they are accustomed to or special care that I need to administer, written directions are very helpful to me! I am a very direct and to the point communicator. Unfortunately, my own home is not suitable for pet care, so all care will have to be given from your own home. I look forward to getting to know your pup! I am currently working part-time, but I am hoping to be able to quit my job in favor of pet-care. I do not take pets at my own home, but I am more than happy to come to yours. I find that pets are more comfortable in their own home, especially when they're dealing with the stress of their family being away and trying to get used to a new person. In these cases, I let your pet warm up to me in their own time and give them a much love and attention as they will accept.

This visit was especially difficult as my dog needed unplanned visits daily to the vet because of a surgery that went sideways right before I left on a trip. Adam handled it like the consummate professional he is. We are grateful for everything he does for our pack.

Holly is an excellent sitter who I would absolutely recommend to anyone who needs a sitter for a quick check in or for a longer stay. She watched my dogs for a week while I was across the country and she was communicative and went the extra mile to make sure my dogs were comfortable. I’ve used her multiple times in the past and it’s always been a great experience. Holly is also very flexible for emergencies and changes in schedules. I will continue to use her in the future!

Mark was great with our dog Nimbus! He kept him company through the fireworks on the 4th of July, followed our instructions about food and medication, and nothing was amiss in our house when we returned. Nimbus was calm and relaxed after the stay. Thank you Mark for taking good care of our sweet boy!

FAQs for House Sitting - Alpha

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Alpha on Rover is $27.75 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 429 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alpha. 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 Alpha 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 Alpha 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 Alpha 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alpha. On Rover:

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
