“We usually do drop-ins and this is the first time Jennie stayed over to house sit for us. Highly recommend! Our dog seemed so happy in all of the pictures and Jennie sent us updates the entire time we were gone.”

About: My lifelong, hands-on experience caring for animals of many kinds. I bred our family poodle, assisted during the birth of her puppies, helped raise them, and placed them in loving homes with family friends. Over the years, I’ve cared for guinea pigs, fish, sugar gliders, cats, and dogs of many breeds and sizes. I’ve even rescued baby birds and provided around-the-clock care until they were healthy enough to be released back into the wild. I’ve also helped several family members teach their dogs important skills, including potty training and coming when called. I had a dog by my side for most of my life until my beloved fur baby recently passed away. While I’m not ready to adopt another pet, I would love to responsibly fill that space in my heart by providing dependable, attentive, and loving care to other people’s pets. I currently work at my part-time job two days a week. Outside of that schedule, I’m very flexible and can easily adjust my availability to meet each pet parent’s needs. I’m always happy to have a conversation about your pet's specific routine and schedule so we can create a care plan that works well for everyone. I do not currently have any pets in my home, which means your pet will be my priority and receive plenty of individual attention. Although I do not have a fenced-in backyard, dogs will receive multiple leashed walks throughout the day, and there is also have a dog park in my neighborhood that can be used with your permission. For cats, I can provide litter boxes and a peaceful environment where they can settle in comfortably. My home is clean, organized, and pet-proofed. I do not have children in the home, and potentially unsafe items are kept neatly put away. Pets are welcome on my furniture because I believe they are family—while they’re staying with me, my home is their home.

I will gladly help with walks, petting, feeding, medications, and litter boxes. You can feel safe with me taking care of your pets. I’ve had pets for years and can handle just about anything they throw my way.

In clients’ homes, I follow their rules, give lots of attention, and make sure pets always feel comfortable and secure.

About: Working in veterinary medicine, I can understand basic animal needs and care. I have been taking care of animals for over 10 years. I will treat your babies like they are my own I work two jobs, both in opposite directions, so to be able to housesit. And given a good amount of time to request days off to give your baby my full attention I prefer housesitting over boarding at my personal home, it’s easier for me, and I feel like the pets would prefer their own home over anyone elses

About: Hi! We’re a sibling team who loves caring for pets and treating them like family. This account is now shared between us, but my sister Kathy will be the primary caregiver and will be handling most of the communication, bookings, and day-to-day services. We both have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. From long walks and playtime to feeding routines and giving lots of attention, we understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. We’re comfortable following specific instructions to make sure your pet stays happy, safe, and on their normal routine while you’re away. My sister, who you’ll be mainly interacting with, is reliable, patient, and genuinely loves animals. She has hands-on experience with pet sitting, walking, and making sure pets feel comfortable in new situations. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, calm companionship, or just someone to stick to their routine, she’s got it covered. We know how important trust is when it comes to your pets, so we’re committed to clear communication, updates, and giving you peace of mind. I am a full time nursing student at the moment. I have quite a busy schedule but I am always free to give my time for dogs and cats because they bring me so much joy. I am mostly free on weekends but I do offer a full Thursday as well. For Monday’s, I have Zoom meetings every week from 4:30pm-6:45pm so if that’s something I can work on while being with your pets, it works out! I can offer to take your pets for walks, or simply play with them in the yard, or just lay around and cuddle with them if they are the more relaxed kinds. I am not offering boarding at the moment, so any services I am offering, it will be held at your place set by your rules!

“Sarah is great! My dog is very needy and requires a lot of attention to remain comfortable. Upon returning home after their first visit I walked into my dog happy, sleeping and very content. It means a lot when your dog sitter treats your dog the same way you do so that the time away is less stressful on your pet. I will be using Sarah for watching Mona Lisa over and over. Thank you!!!”

“We have two senior dogs (15 and 11) and we were very nervous and hesitant to board them during our summer vacation. We initially booked them for boarding at a local daycare but didn’t feel comfortable. We were about to cancel our trip a week before, but Jeanna was an answered prayer! I found her profile on Rover on a whim and after reading her great reviews and checking her profile I decided to see if she would be available. After inquiring, she quickly responded, scheduled a phone interview an hour later and even offered a second meet and greet just to calm our nerves and get acquainted with our dogs and family. She was very professional, calm, honest, responsible and genuine. Our dogs were very comfortable with her within minutes of meeting her. We booked her for house sitting for 10 days and are so glad and relieved to have found her! On the day we were to travel, our flight was delayed and she was very flexible coming to our home when we needed her to. During our vacation, she eased our anxiety and we felt at peace as she constantly updated us daily with pictures and reports on how they were doing, eating and sleeping. She also updated the dogs letting them know when we were coming home. Our dogs felt right at home, even though they missed us! Jeanna took amazing care of our senior dogs with medication, food, water and play time. She also took great care of our home while we were away and left the place just like we left it. She gave great care, affection and love for our dogs and Chloe our youngest is already missing her!! We highly recommend booking Jeanna for your pets and can’t wait to book her again for our next vacation! Thank you for everything!”

About: Why My Care is Different What sets me apart is the peace of mind that comes with hiring a professional veterinary technician with approximately eight years of experience. My background is rooted in high-stakes environments, including emergency medicine and overnight clinical supervision, which allows me to provide a level of medical oversight that goes far beyond standard pet sitting. Whether your pet is a healthy ball of energy or a senior requiring complex care, I bring clinical precision and a calm, expert perspective to every visit. Specialized Pet Care Expertise Emergency & Critical Care Experience: Having worked in emergency medicine and supervised overnight shifts, I am trained to remain calm under pressure and identify subtle clinical signs of distress before they become crises. Medical Proficiency: I am highly skilled in administering a wide range of medications and treatments, ensuring your pet’s health regimen stays perfectly on track while you are away. Fear Free Certified Professional: I prioritize your pet's emotional well-being by utilizing Fear Free techniques designed to reduce the stress, restricted movement, and anxiety often associated with handling and care. Senior & Special Needs Support: My extensive veterinary background makes me an ideal choice for senior pets who may need extra mobility assistance, specialized monitoring, or palliative care. Advanced Hygiene Standards: I maintain a clinical level of cleanliness, particularly with litter box maintenance and habitat sanitation, understanding that a pristine environment is the foundation of animal health. Professional Services: In addition to sitting, I provide professional nail trims and dremel services and can offer pet bathing and shaving. How Pet Care Fits Into My Routine My life is centered around animal care, both professionally and personally. Here is how pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine: Professional Integration: As a veterinary technician with approximately eight years of experience, including emergency medicine and overnight supervision, pet care is the core of my daily professional life. Home & Play Space: I live on 3 acres of property, providing a massive, secure space for plenty of outdoor play and enrichment. Personal Experience: I am a dedicated pet owner myself, caring for my own dogs and cats. Flexible Relief Shifts: I utilize the Roo platform for veterinary technician relief shifts, which allows me to balance clinical work with dedicated pet sitting. My approach to safety and environment is rooted in professional clinical standards and a deep commitment to the emotional well-being of every animal. Whether I am providing care in your home or welcoming a pet to mine, my goal is to create a secure, low-stress atmosphere where health and happiness are the top priorities. Care in Your Home When visiting your home, I bring the observational skills of a veteran veterinary technician to every shift. Medical Vigilance: With eight years of experience in emergency medicine and overnight supervision, I am trained to monitor for subtle changes in behavior or health that could indicate an underlying issue. Fear Free Environment: I utilize Fear Free techniques to ensure that all interactions—especially tasks that can be stressful, like nail trims—are handled with patience and positive reinforcement. Cleanliness & Hygiene: I maintain a clinical standard of sanitation. I take pride in deep-cleaning litter boxes and keeping pet areas pristine, as a clean environment is essential for disease prevention and overall comfort. Security Protocols: I am meticulous about home security, ensuring doors and gates are properly locked and your home is respected exactly as you left it. Care in My Home For pets visiting my home, I offer a professional-grade environment designed for both safety and fun. Spacious & Secure Play: I live on 3 acres of property, offering ample room for supervised outdoor exercise, enrichment, and play. Professional Oversight: Your pet is never just "staying" at a house; they are under the care of a professional veterinary technician capable of administering any necessary medications or treatments. Socialization & Comfort: Pets in my care enjoy a home environment alongside my own dogs and cats. I am always mindful of individual temperaments to ensure every animal feels safe and integrated. Emergency Preparedness: Because of my extensive background in emergency clinics, I am prepared to act decisively and calmly in the rare event of a medical emergency.

Kaitlyn was fantastic! We loved all the updates and sweet photos and videos of our boys. She had to deal with an unexpected power outage and made sure they got care and helped make sure everything came back on in the house. We came home to happy beagles and know that they really enjoyed their time with her! Absolutely will use her again for pet sitting!

FAQs for House Sitting - Alpine

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 226 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alpine. 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 Alpine 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 Alpine 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 Alpine 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
