“Trish was great and made herself available on short notice to meet and watch our puppy, Ophelia, who absolutely loved her. We really appreciated kindness, disposition, and flexibility. We'll now feel more comfortable going out knowing Ophelia is lovingly cared for.”
“JaNiya is an angel! She came to save the day when I was all the way in California and a sitter bailed on me. She came in and loved on my puppy, helped put my house back in order and get him on track with his meds. She gave me very helpful updates to ease my worry and also gave some flvery helpful insights as a new dog mom. I will definitely be a repeat client.”
“This was my first time using an app to find someone to watch my furbaby and Dana definitely made me feel comfortable and relieved. We lucked out finding her! She’s got a calm demeanor which matched perfectly for my old girl. She sent me an update midday with a couple pictures that eased my anxiety. She was willing to work with me on the schedule when things changed on my end. And like other reviewers said she even tidied up a bit, which was completely unexpected and very kind. The best part is my pup really seemed comfortable with her from the beginning. Definitely look forward to rebooking with her in the future!”
“I had never left my dogs with someone who was not family, so I was very hesitant to do so but Maria was wonderful and kept me updated multiple times a day. My dogs were well taken care of and I came back to my home just as I left it.”
“Just moved to the area and we were nervouc leaving the dogs for the weekend so soon after moving... But we were put to ease! Communicated very well and my pups loved her! On time, responsive, and reliable. Loved all the updates she sent through the day :)”
“Sydney provided in-home dog sitting during a particularly challenging calendar period to secure any care at all. Communications were great, both leading up to and during the sitting period. She's also an impressive dog photographer.”
About: I have a deep understanding and love of animals. My parents often reflect on my childhood when I would regularly bring stray animals home that I either rescued from the road, were being chased by dogs, or who were left in the park next to our house. Frankly, that hasn't changed much! All of my pets have been rescues. Currently I partner with a couple neighbors to protect a local feral community in our area of Red Bank. I'm an amateur apiarist and have one hive in my yard. They've been with me for 3 years and have produced 70 pounds of honey since they arrived! I also have a unique love for reptiles with lizards being my favorite. There truly isn't an animal I couldn't love! I am a full-time animal caregiver with occasional involvement in my tiny catering business. I love animals and they're my priority in my work life. I also love to cook and share amazing food with people! As an early riser (around 5-6am) I enjoy starting my day early (so do my kitties!). My cats and past pups have always lived the most spoiled of lives. Each animal has their own personality and set of preferred and physical needs. It's my priority to make every animals life in my care the most enjoyable and comfortable possible.
About: Worked at a vet clinic for 2 yrs! Loved being around animals all day! Never a time where I didn’t have a pet! Love them! Just moved to TN, currently no job so my schedule is completely open! I am very flexible and easy going. Your pet is my priority! I love going on walks and will take your pet for a good walk to get exercise and enjoy being outside! Open to accompany any needs!
“Jacee was an excellent sitter & kept me updated with daily photos while house sitting. My fur babies loved her & I definitely trust her to stay with them again in the future. :)”
“Gretchen did such an amazing job with our cats! She followed everything to the T, and took care of our trash & litterbox duties(and was willing to take care of anything else that was requested). She showed so much love to our fur babies! I recommend Gretchen 100%!”
About: I've been around pets since I was 11 and love bonding with them! I take care of cats and dogs of any size and any age, and I often sit for family members! I worked at an animal hospital for 2.5~ years and have experience with medicating/bathing pets as well. I'm free most of the time so I make myself available often. I'm happy to prioritize your pets attention and needs however you like. When staying the night with a family member's dogs, I'll wake up early to feed them and let them use the bathroom. I'm punctual with feeding times, med times, and I make time to play too.
“I had a fantastic experience with Katie! She provided regular updates and took excellent care of my dog. Her attentiveness and dedication were evident, and I will definitely book with her again. Highly recommended!”
“Michelle house sat for a week while we went on a beach vacation and was fantastic. She sent pictures and videos every day of our dachshund Banjo and checked in every night to tell me how his day went. Even our neighbors raved about how attentive she was in the backyard with Banjo always giving him pets and playing fetch. We will definitely be hiring her again!”
About: I have been pet sitting for over 15 years and would love visit, walk, play, bathe, and stay overnight with your pets as needed. While I have a soft spot in my heart for cats, and foster kittens through HES, I've also worked as a dog grooming assistant in the past and know nuances to ALL dog breeds. My friends rely on me for their pet sitting needs and I'm looking to expand my furry friends! My schedule is versatile from week to week but I love to work pet sitting in. Depending on the day, I may not be able to accommodate dogs that need to be let out within 6hours or less, but I will do my best to work within your schedule and timing! I'm a clean guest and respect other people's space. I also love to bake (at my own home) so I may leave some sweet treats for you before I leave!
“Chas was an incredible sitter for our antisocial, grumpy older dog. She immediately put us at ease with her calm, confident manner and clearly knew how to effectively interact with and handle dogs. She did bring her dog along, which worried me at first, but he was extremely well trained and after watching her introduce them, I felt confident that she knew how to handle them both. She left the house perfectly clean, followed our instructions, and sent updates on our dog throughout her stay. Overall, we feel very lucky to have found someone we trust with our picky dog and will absolutely use her again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats since I was young. Neighbors, friends, and family members have trusted me to feed, walk, and take care of their beloved pets. My own family consists of 4 dogs and a cat, which I frequently take care of for my parents or siblings. I would love to join your family’s list of reliable sitters to care for your pets well and offer them love! I am currently on summer vacation and my daily and weekly schedule is extremely flexible. I’d love to work with your family to find what routine works best for you! I want to give your pets the love, care, and attention they need! Every pet is different, and I’d love to take the time to learn your families’ routines in order to understand how to care for your pets well. I love spending quality time with pets, taking them on walks, sitting outside with them, and giving them lots of affection!
About: I've been trusted to care for dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles starting around the age of 8. I have gone on to care for many special needs animals, and have no problem following any instructions to ensure the best care. I'm currently working part-time, and can easily accommodate most schedules. I am looking to make this more of a full time gig, and get away from delivery apps. Currently, I am unable to host pets in my residence but would have no problem follow any instruction or detail in a client's home. I am here for you!
About: Ive been a dog parent for 15 years, starting with my childhood Chihuahua to caring for my elderly and disabled Shepard Lab. I also volunteer at Mackamey Animal Center. I'm comfortable giving love and keeping safe dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I work a flexible full time job, where I can be available for morning, afternoon, and evening drop ins. I'm also available for overnight stays. I follow rules and instructions very well, will make sure to leave your home the way I found it, and will not hesitate to reach out if there's a need.

Laurie was amazing! The dogs immediately settled when she first met them, she has such a calm demeanor. She went above and beyond with the house care and communicating with me. I miss my pups so much when I’m away but felt incredible comfortable and at ease with Laurie watching them. Highly recommend!
Sam stayed at my home for a week to care for my cat, Simon. They did an absolutely wonderful job! Very communicative with detailed messages and multiple photos and videos each day. Simon is a tough cat to win over (he’s afraid of everything), but within a day and a half Simon found a new best friend in Sam. This was such a huge relief to know he was happy and calm while I was away. Sam has a very chill/calm presence and I will absolutely use their services again!!
AMAZING!! with a diabetic cat and high energy dog, it can be hard to find someone i can trust to watch them. but Skylar knocked it out of the park! great communication, sent pics every day, and was graciously even able to pop in one extra time while i had an airport emergency. i came home to a tidy house and happy pets, couldn’t recommend more!
Maria is simply the best! If I could give her a million star rating ⭐️ I would!!! She took such wonderful care of our golden retriever, Sunday while we were away!! She truly treated her as if she was her own and we didn’t worry one bit and were able to just relax and enjoy our vacation. She sent lots of updates and photos which was so great! If you need a pet sitter- look no further and book Maria! She’s a real gem!!
Jill was amazing with my 3 pets while I was out of the country for several days! I came home to a very secure, happy , well fed group who were all snuggled up happily with her. She went out of her way to make them all feel safe and comfortable, and totally set my mind at ease by sending regular updates. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sit.
We were in need of a last minute house/pet sitter for graduation weekend. Drake was quick to respond with his availability. He even met us beforehand to ensure he was the right fit for our animals. Spoiler - he absolutely was! If you're looking for someone highly professional, calm, and patient with your animals - then hire Drake. He sent regular updates and gave our animals so much love in our absence. Thank you Drake!
Hunter was absolutely amazing! He took great care of our two spoiled dogs and house while we were away. Our house was spotless and our pups were happy upon our return. He sent pictures and updates of our boys and was very respectful of our home. I would definitely recommend and use Huntter again in the future!
Pamela did a wonderful job taking care of our pets overnight for several days (15 year old dog, 2 year old dog, and 3 year old cat)!! We needed someone last minute over Thanksgiving and she quickly responded after our request. We scheduled a meet and greet and we knew they were in good hands. She provided pictures daily and the house looks great. We’ll definitely use Pamela again. Thanks so much for taking care of our fur babies!

FAQs for House Sitting - Alpine Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Alpine Heights is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $60 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 Heights 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 Heights 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 Heights 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 Heights. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
