“Christian is a great sitter and consummate professional. He was very responsive and would provide daily if not twice daily updates on how things were going. Would definitely recommend and use his services and experience again!”
“Betty is amazing with my dog, Hershey. She does a recap of the day every day with pictures included. She she has done the laundry and left the house cleaner than when I left. I would 100% use her every time.”
“Michael was an excellent pet sitter. He is friendly, communicative, clean, polite, and responsible. He left my home cleaner than I did, and sent so many photos of my animals. I have two dogs and two cats but he handled the whole crew easily including walks and medications. I'll definitely be hiring him again.”
“Nailana was absolutely amazing with both of my babies. She gave my dog and my cat so much attention and so much love and they both adore her. I would give her my highest recommendation. She was with them nine days and I never was worried for a moment. I will definitely be using her on my next out-of-town trip!”
“We felt so comfortable leaving our babies in Stephanie’s care! She was great about checking in, sending plenty of updates, and making our nervous pup comfy with plenty of love and attention! Stephanie is also incredibly prompt about responding!”
“Christina took great care of our dog, left the house clean, and communicated with us while we were gone. She was amazing and I’d definitely recommend her!!!”
“Annie went above and beyond with our cat and communicated effectively with unexpected situations at our home. Our cat seemed sad that it was me that came home and not her haha so you should book with her if you can :)”
“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: I've taken care of all sorts of pets for friends and family ever since I could drive myself. I've taken care of senior pets, special needs pets, and have had to give medication to pets who need it. Besides taking care of others' pets, I grew up having tons of dogs, and I currently take care of my three cats. I'm currently a college student, so my schedule will revolve around my classes. That being said, I try to allow myself plenty of time beyond classes, especially in mornings and evenings, and I will always have weekends free. Here's my current schedule (when I will not be available): Monday: 11-6 Tuesday: Free! Wednesday: 11-6 Thursday: Free! Friday: 10-2 Weekends: Free! I always go outside with a pet to make sure everything is okay (no gates are open, they don't eat anything bad, etc.). I've had a few walk-aggressive dogs growing up, so I know how to safely handle escalated situations on walks. Overall, I put safety above all else because pets are such big parts of our lives, so their safety is a must.
“Zoe was amazing! Our German Shepherd is typically an anxious dog around new people but Zoe made him feel comfortable almost immediately. We felt very secure knowing that he was being well taken care of. Plus we got lots of pics and updates throughout our time away. We will definitely be having Zoe over again to watch Obi!”
“Madison is WONDERFUL. She creates a very positive first impression. We left for the weekend feeling 100% confident that our pups were in good hands. She is an excellent communicator and took great care of our three dogs. We returned to happy pups! She went above and beyond by cleaning up, too! We feel very fortunate that Madison is working with Rover. We'll contact her first for our next adventure. Thank you, Madison!”
“Emily did a fantastic job. She is super responsive and I came home to a happy dog. She took my higher-energy breed dog to play outside multiple times a day. I would definitely book her to house sit with my dog again.”
“Heather is absolutely amazing. She’s house-sat my two Heelers and cat three times now. I had a lot of anxiety leaving them for two weeks straight but Heather always puts my mind at ease. Highly recommend Heather for all of your furbaby sitting needs!”
About: I worked with doggies day care for about 2 years in college. Staying at clients houses watching their pets. It was awesome I learned great training skills and was able to walk tons of dogs! I was also a preschool teacher at this time as well and cpr certified. I’m an early riser I’m up around 6:30-7:00 and I take my border collie on her 2 mile walk. Every morning. I’m a master esthetician starting a business right now so any free time I’m at the spa with my own clients. I like late nights as well, but I’m very active so if you need a dog walker or someone to wear your high energy pup out I’m your girl! At my house I have a full fenced yard. However there is 4 large dogs here. A full house no doubt. I’d love to do at home visits or boarding at clients house not my own.
About: I've had pets all my life (dogs, cats, donkeys, chicken) and love visiting friends who have all sorts of animals (including tarantulas!!). I volunteer at animal humane societies to walk and socialize with the pets for the past 10 years and worked at a dog daycare where I kept both small and large dogs -- my favorite job so far!! I have recently left my engineering job to go back to school and have more flexibility with my time throughout the day. I used to Rover when I was in college and enjoyed it so much I'm eager to have time again to continue caring for pets. If you have a fenced yard I can play with your pet outside, or can play with them however you'd prefer. I love walking with the pets and letting them explore and lead the way (unless you are leash-training then I can keep that in mind!), but any interaction with them brings me joy! As for cats, I'll follow any tips you provide. Have a cat that loves cuddling? I'll lay still so they can cuddle! Is yours energetic and has a favorite toy? I'll make sure they get focused play time during my visit!
“Cameron is truly the best! She took care of my baby Draco for over a week. My cat is usually shy and afraid of new people but he loved Cameron instantly!! She was very caring, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond for my boy especially since he requires special care and attention. Its the first time I’m leaving Draco for a long trip and Cameron always updated me and sent me photos of how Draco is doing so I felt super relieved being out of the country and having Cameron look after Draco. Cameron is the best!! Shes so polite, very communicative and even cleaned after the apartment even though she didn’t have to! She is the best, I am lucky to have found her!! Will definitely recommend her for your fur babies <3”
“Penny did an amazing job watching Doro! I felt so relieved to know she was well taken care of. Also she was able to help me last minute when another sitter fell through. I am so grateful!!”
“Christina did a fantastic job watching Hank and Milo. She followed my instructions to a tee and I came back to a spotless house and very happy pups. I would definitely hire her again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Alpine Gardens is $45

Michael was so great and attentive to our two girls! He is very friendly and our two cats instantly felt comfortable with him! He gave us plenty of updates while we were away and was able to accommodate a couple of our date changes while away. We highly recommend Michael and look forward to working with him again!!
Lena was amazing! She took great care of our little angel over our wedding trip and made sure I didn't have any worries so I could focus on being present. She cared for him like I would and we will definitely use her again. The photos and videos kept me so calm and allowed me to actually travel and enjoy it! Absolutely amazing, thank you again Lena!
Cameron was great to work with. We couldn’t get our normal Rover sitter on short notice so we got Cameron when we really were in a bind. My puppy had just been spayed and I couldn’t get out of a few work things that came up, so Cameron stepped in and kept our little border collie puppy well looked after and even gave her meds. It is difficult to keep an energetic border collie puppy calm while healing from a spay surgery and Cameron did great with lots of pics and updates. Would use again!
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!!!!
I had the best experience using Elizandro to watch my dog. Loved how he interacted with her and my dog loved him right off the bat and she’s picky! I also truly appreciated his help around the house and willingness to roll with the punches on a bit of a crazy morning. Will def use again!! Thank you! 🙏
Abby was patient with my nervous/anxious/reactive pup. Her care and consideration made the process of leaving on a trip less stressful. She got out with my dogs to antelope island and I got lots of photos of the dogs having fun! I got lots of photos and updates throughout my trip which I appreciated considering I was 2000 miles away! I would recommend and would be happy to book with her again :)
Emily was a fantastic dog sitter! She is very easy to coordinate with and sent text/picture updates daily. She took my dog to the reservoir and on walks at the park in addition to spending time with him in-between. I was very content to know my pup was in good hands. I’d highly recommend her to anyone and would definitely hire her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Alpine Gardens
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Alpine Gardens on Rover is $34.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,849 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alpine Gardens. 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 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 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
