“Madison is WONDERFUL with the dogs. She does a great job giving attention to three attention-seeking dogs! It's so nice to leave and know your dogs are in great hands. Thanks Madison!”
“I was very stressed about leaving my cat and dog with a sitter for the first time but Danielle eased all my stresses with updates and pictures every day. Our animals seemed comfortable and happy in all of the pictures. She left our house immaculate. When we had to make a last minute change to our plans, Danielle was very easy to work with to accommodate the change. She also responded to messages quickly. I would recommend Danielle to anyone and will definitely use her services again. Thank you, Danielle!!!!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with a beloved German Shepherd, and since then, I’ve spent years house sitting and dog walking for family, friends, and neighbors! I’m experienced with both dogs and cats—plus I cared for my own freshwater aquarium for many years, so I’m great with fish, too! Because my current apartment doesn't allow pets, I don't have any of my own—which means your fur baby gets my undivided love and attention! Working a hybrid schedule gives me fantastic flexibility during the week, and I treat every pet I care for just like family. Working remotely two days a week gives me plenty of flexibility to cater to your pet's personal routine. As long as we coordinate ahead of time, I’m happy to adjust my day to match your dog's feeding, exercise, and attention needs. I love establishing regular, reliable schedules to build long-term trust with both you and your furry family members! While I don't offer boarding or host pets in my home due to apartment restrictions, I do focus entirely on providing exceptional drop-in care and walks at your home or out in nature! I live just steps away from a fantastic local park featuring large fields and great walking trails that your pup will love exploring.
“Tawny was so great with our dog, Hank! Took her on walks and was very attentive with her. He is an excellent communicator. Keeping us up to date before he arrived and while watching Hank. I would definitely book him again!”
“Heather does an amazing job caring for our dogs while we are away. She takes 100% of the stress and worry away even when in remote areas with little service. Our dog with a chronic illness had a flare up this time around and she did great monitoring and providing care/updates that helped keep it under control. Our dogs love hanging out with Heather ❤️”
“Annie was absolutely fantastic! My family had to leave town with short notice and Annie was able to stay in my home and tend to our Giant Schnauzer puppy. Tending a puppy of his size and nippy age is no small task, yet Annie was able to keep his puppy training and leash training going. She is super clean and polite as well. Highly recommend! Thanks Annie!!”
“Pup was happy and well taken care of and the house was cleaner than when we left, kept us well in the loop with great communication! Would definitely recommend”
“Kirk took great care of our dogs and house while we were out of town. They seemed content upon our return and everything was in order. He communicated well and sent some pics during our trip. Would absolutely hire again!”
“Jay is THE best. He took such great care of our three cats while we were traveling for two weeks. He even got our shy cat to warm up to him (so rare!). Jay was stellar at communicating with us and helping care for our medically complex cat. He administered medicine each day, fed all three cats, maintained their litter box & water fountains, played with them, and also helped manage things that came up around the house (bringing in packages, garbage cans, etc). I highly recommend having Jay help with your pets! We’ll be booking him again soon.”
“Kelly stayed with our 2 Westies for a few nights over Thanksgiving. She was great! She sent frequent updates, was responsive to questions, treated the dogs & our home with care. We will definitely use her again!”
“Anna did a great job with daily check ins and photos. Despite being out of cell service during her stay she continued to update me so when I did get service I was able to see what happened. The house was left clean and tidy and the pets were happy!”
“Zoe was prompt, communicative, respectful, and an all around great caretaker of our fur babies and our home - we definitely hope to get Zoe’s help again the next time we travel!”
About: My husband, Alejandro, and I have been caring for our own dog, Nala, for the past 6 years and 7 months. We completely understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. Caring for her has given us hands-on experience with daily routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure she feels safe, comfortable, and loved. We are patient, responsible, and caring people who genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. We love working as a team to care for pets, making sure they always have company, attention, and plenty of love. We know that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and we are happy to adapt to their individual needs to help them feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Our goal is to care for every dog as if they were our own, giving them a safe environment so you can have complete peace of mind. I work 100% remotely from home, which allows me to be with the dogs throughout the day. They won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’ll be able to give them plenty of attention, potty breaks, and companionship. My schedule is flexible and my husband also works from home most of the days, so this allows us to follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care they may need. We understand how important consistency is for pets, and we’ll do our best to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you’re away. We love in a small, clean, pet-friendly apartment in a quiet neighborhood. While we don’t have a yard, we live less than 5 minutes from Sugar House Park, where we take our own dog every day for long walks, exercise, and plenty of time to explore. Any dog staying with us will enjoy regular walks, outdoor time, and lots of attention. We believe that supervised walks and enrichment are a great way to keep dogs happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated, and we’ll make sure your pup gets the exercise and care they need while they’re with us.
About: Growing up with pets, I always had responsibilities surrounding them! My parents made sure that I knew how to properly take care of and love our animals! Aside from taking care of my own pets, I have been a kid nanny for families with pets as well! I have a lot of experience with taking care of and loving other peoples pets and have not had any issues with that. I work from home so my schedule has a lot of versatility! My evenings are typically free after 4pm and weekends typically free as well! I live with other people, so when it comes to my own pets, they are also well taken care of when I am away, so this isn't any conflict there! Aside from what my profile says about my availability (the options are vague to choose from) I would want to discuss deeper on what type of time commitment you are expecting and how I can offer that to you! I would not be able to take care of pets at my home. When I am taking care of your pets, I will take care of them how you ask! If I have concerns or conflicts, I will bring them up to you right away! I know how nerve wracking it can be to put your pets in the care of someone else, so when I am watching your pets, they are my number one priority. I am very plan oriented and can successfully juggle different schedules and situations!

Penny is an absolutely incredible pet sitter and is my number one pick for watching my 2 dogs and staying at our home when we’re out of town. She always sends updates and photos daily, and is sure to reach out with any concerns or questions about the dogs or their care. I would recommend her to anyone to care for their pet(s). Also, our house is always tidy and clean when we get home- an added touch!
Danielle was wonderful! This was our first time using rover and we are glad to have booked with her while we were away. She was prompt, communicative, flexible when we needed to adjust plans, very respectful of our home, and took good care of our pup. Happy to book again! Thank you Danielle. 😊
Kirsten was great and provided updates throughout the week. I could tell that Julian was well cared for and receiving a lot of love/attention. She also went above and beyond by collecting my mail/packages and even washing the sheets before she left. Very thankful for Kirsten!!
Emily was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home with Enzo for 11 nights, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Leaving Enzo is incredibly hard for us—he’s our baby—and Emily went above and beyond to put our minds at ease. She sent photos and short videos throughout each day, including meals, walks, enrichment, and goodnights, and always kept us informed or asked questions when needed. It was clear from her updates—and their very sweet goodbye when we got home—that Enzo genuinely loved her. She was also incredibly respectful of our home. We left a clean house and came home to one, which was so appreciated after a long trip. Emily is sweet, funny, communicative, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I felt like both Enzo and our home were in wonderful hands. 10/10—we would absolutely trust Emily with Enzo again and highly recommend her!
Cameron is THE BEST! She’s always the first person I ask when I need house sitting/caring for my male Ragdoll cat. Cameron is the most caring, reliable and dedicated person to ever look after my cat Draco who has IBD and is on special diet. My cat Draco LOVES her, and gets very excited to see her every time. She treats Draco like her own and I am always relaxed knowing she is watching him whenever I’m gone on trips. ❤️❤️❤️
Seth was amazing to work with! He went out of his way to meet our dogs before we had to leave and took time for them to get comfortable with him. He was very interactive and communicative while we were away, and knowing they were being well taken care was a relief! We will definitely reach out to him again!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! He took care of our 4-month-old puppy for two weeks, and anyone who has had a puppy that age knows they can be A LOT of work! 😅 He was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring with her, and went above and beyond just watching her. He actually helped reinforce training and worked with her on good behaviors, which we really appreciated. It was so reassuring knowing she was in such capable hands while we were away. He kept us updated, took great care of her, and clearly put a lot of time and effort into making sure she was happy, safe, and well cared for. We came home to a happy puppy who had clearly been loved and well looked after. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely great with dogs. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!
Once again, Rachel did amazing caring for our 2 high energy dogs while we were away for the long weekend. She did excellent making sure our dog with a chronic illness was taken care of and supplied endless frisbee time for our other. I highly recommend Rachel!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Alpine Gardens is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $61 per night. 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.

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 Gardens 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 Gardens 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 Gardens 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alpine Gardens. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
