She kept on top of my dogs’ changing needs and kept me in the loop so the week away didn’t feel quite as worrying! And we returned to the house even more tidy than we left it, which was a lovely surprise!

Great sitter for our two spoiled dogs! We were on an international trip and Zoe was very flexible and able to do overnights which eased our minds with a 14 week old puppy. Will use again!

Machalah helped us out last minute and gave my fur-babies lots of love and attention, staying overnight with my anxious Aussie for two nights. She went above and beyond! I would definitely book her again.

Justine watched our pups for a week and they were obviously well-cared for and loved. I was relaxed the whole time away knowing that she had them in hand. We had a small hiccup with exactly which food to feed, but it was an easy fix and I look forward to having Justine back as often as she is available. She left the house just as she found it- possibly even better.

Wanda and Steve are FABULOUS! I have 5 dogs and they all love them. Great communication. Take great care of my home too. Watered plants and I have a ton. So nice to come home to happy dogs, a clean house and plants alive and well in 90+degree temperatures. I couldn't be more pleased.

Second time booking Trina, and once again she was absolutely wonderful with my fur-babies! This time I also had a family member’s dog staying with me, and after giving Trina the profile and instructions, she handled the added responsibility flawlessly. The house was in perfect order when I returned, and all the pups were clearly happy and well cared for. One of my dogs had developed a tummy issue the week before my trip, which had me a bit anxious. I let Trina know the situation, and she had no problem adjusting her care as instructed by the vet. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she’d update me if anything changed. While I was away, I ended up having the opportunity to stay an extra night. Trina happened to be available and kindly accommodated the last-minute request. Trina is reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. I’ll continue booking her any time I can—highly recommend!

Megan took great care of our babies and left our house very neat and tidy. She sent photos every day ❤️ Pretty sure she also refilled our Buff City laundry soap, which we left barely full. That was really nice because we had a lot of laundry to do after vacation!

We (both humans and dogs) adore Billie. The pups got so much love that they barely noticed when we returned after a week 🤣. We got photo updates every day and lovely check-ins throughout our vacation. This was our first time booking with Billie and we will definitely use her again! So nice to trust that our fur babies are well taken care of while we're away.

About: I have taken care of pets and houses for friends and family on many occasions and would love to care for your pets while you’re away. I will be available as often as needed to take care of your pets. I can be flexible to work with you for your pet’s needs. I feed and walk my dog and my past clients dogs twice daily. Additionally, I provide enrichment play for both cats and dogs each day I watch them.

About: You can trust your pup with me! My love for dogs and animals started when I was a child and has grown into a deep bond and genuine care for every dog I meet. I truly go above and beyond when it comes to pet care — and in my book, a little spoiling is always included. ;) I’ve had decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs since 2004, from training my first Mini Schnauzer, Ally, as a puppy to providing specialized senior care as she got older. In 2009, my husband and I rescued our first senior Schnauzer, Smokey, and cared for him through several medical issues including seizures, gastroenteritis, and inner ear infections. I’m extremely attentive to a dog’s needs, personality, comfort, and safety, and I always stay alert to make sure they’re happy, secure, and out of trouble. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I would care for your dog like one of my own. *Please note: I can only accommodate dogs up to 15 lbs. Requests above this size will be declined. Please do not request bookings for larger dogs. I’m a stay-at-home pet parent, which allows me to give my full attention and care to both my own dog and the pets staying with me. At our home, pets are treated like family and will receive lots of love, attention, supervision, and playtime throughout the day. We have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time, potty breaks, and play, but dogs will always be supervised while outside. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, comfort level, routines, and needs to help them feel safe and relaxed while away from home. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a calm environment, I’m happy to accommodate their routine as closely as possible. I also understand the importance of consistency, patience, and attentiveness, especially for senior dogs or pets with special needs.

Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful! She stayed at our home and took incredible care of our two fur babies. The house was kept in immaculate condition, and we could tell our pets were well-loved and comfortable while we were away. She sent us great updates and photos throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was also extremely accommodating when my flights were delayed and cancelled. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—highly recommend!

About: I’ve had a fond love for all animals since childhood! I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 16, including seniors with precise schedules, pets requiring special medications and/or dietary restrictions, and puppies requiring constant supervision. I’ve currently just moved back to Virginia and am looking for a flexible work schedule so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I can drop in for some quality time or stay overnight if needed. I have a dog and 2 cats of my own who have special medication and dietary needs. I can walk your dogs, crate them easily if needed and play with them plenty.

About: I love caring for dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I’m patient with dogs of all sizes and personalities and always follow feeding schedules, provide regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention so every dog feels at home. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week, including weekends. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m happy to work with different schedules and last-minute bookings whenever possible I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, I take dogs on regular walks for exercise, potty breaks, and fresh air. I also provide plenty of attention, playtime, and follow the pet’s normal feeding schedule and routines. My goal is to make pets feel relaxed and at home while their owners are away.

Megan was amazing - this was the first time having her stay with our clan, and we immediately trusted she would be great with them. She sent us beautiful pictures of our animals and it was so clear they were happy and fulfilled. She took care of the home immaculately while we were away as well. We’re definitely going to be reaching out to her for our next time. Thank you, Megan!

FAQs for House Sitting - Alpine Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Alpine Hills on Rover is $48.29 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 401 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alpine Hills. 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 Hills 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 Hills 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 Hills 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 Alpine Hills. On Rover:

  • 100% 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.
