“Peyton was a wonderful house/dog sitter. She is very professional, knowledgeable, and kept me informed daily of what was going on, as well as sending pictures and videos of my dog. She left the house pristine, emptied the trash, washed the sheets and towels, collected my mail, etc. I was very relaxed on my trip knowing that she was handling things well at home. I couldn’t be more pleased, and I would not hesitate to hire her again.”
“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.”
“Cece was amazing. She was very attentive to my lab. Communicated frequently with photos. She even tried to hunt down a beeping smoke alarm that needed a battery. Definitely recommend.”
“Wanda and Steve were fantastic! They were accommodating and made sure our babies were well taken care of for our weekend away for Thanksgiving. I am so grateful for the two of them and highly recommend them to take care of your fur babies too!”
About: I have been dog sitting since my freshman year of high school to raise money for a school trip to Costa Rica that I attended in 2023. I am currently available anytime of the week. I am willing to stay overnight if needed. Or even stopping by to walk/let out the pets. I would rather not do it in my home just because I do not have a fenced in yard and I have three other dogs in my home.
About: Hey there! My name's Graham and I couldn't be more excited for the opportunity to care for your pets! I've grown up with pets my whole life! From many dogs, a cat, a bird, to even a bearded dragon, I've loved helping my family care for our pets! Now, I'm ready to help you continue to take care of yours! I'm currently a Physician Assistant student here in Roanoke and pet sitting is the perfect way to spend some of my free time doing something I love while helping support myself through school! I'm open to any and all commissions and would love to hear from you! I'm currently a Physician Assistant student, so my class schedule varies throughout the week. Because of that, my availability is flexible depending on the day, and I'm happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I should have most weekends free and am available for pet sitting and drop-ins during those times, as well as select weekdays between classes. I'd love to get to know you and come do a friendly pre-client visit to meet you and your pet and hear about clear instructions for their care! I’m open to helping in any way and can accommodate!
“Lawdy was wonderful! She stayed at the house all weekend and took such great care of our babies. We will absolutely reach out to her again in the future. Thanks, Lawdy!”
“Lexi was great! She stayed at my house with my pups and gave them all kinds of snuggles and love and sent me pictures and messages as updates. She left the house as she found it. I’d definitely recommend Lexi to take care of your pets!”
“Scott watched my rambunctious 7 month old puppy for a couple days and I couldn’t be happier! He was very communicative while I was away and she was a happy girl when I came back home!”
“Selena took care of our pup on short notice and did a great job! She made us feel super comfortable by meeting us/our dog a few times before we left for our trip. She sent photos every day and our usually shy pup warmed up pretty quickly!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years and have a lifelong love for animals. As a dog owner myself with two dogs at home, I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your pets the same way you do. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, potty breaks, exercise, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I also know how reassuring it is to receive updates, so I’ll send photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay or visit to give you peace of mind. My goal is to create a fun, safe, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I treat every animal as if they were my own, and I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I currently do work full time but I do create my own schedule and am pretty flexible so we can work around the hours needed for you and your pet! I do currently have two male dogs who are 8 and 9 years old. They both are very friendly and very playful. They play with puppies and older dogs very well and they’re very diverse with sizes of dogs who they are around. If your dog is aggressive to other male dogs, this won’t be a good fit for you. However, i’m happy to have an introduction to make sure everyone is comfortable. We tend to take a lot of walks and play ball in the yard throughout the day. During the summer we swim in the pop up pool we have for the boys and get the zooms out!

About: I have three fur babies, golden retriever x2, and a blue heeler mix. Having animals is such pure joy. The dogs run the home, I just live here! Dog hair and slobbery kisses … I wouldn’t want it any different. My fur babies are happy and very generous to other animals. We have fun here. So bring your dog over, let them jump on the couch, and play with my pups! I work part time, but have a very flexible schedule. I have two boys at home that would give your pups all the love they need. I have a small fenced in yard for your pups. We enjoy talking walks, and playing fetch. My fur babies are the sweetest things and will get along with your pups!
About: I’ve always been a passionate animal lover. I share my home with both a dog and a cat, and while my pup has made it clear he’s happiest as an only dog, pet sitting gives me the opportunity to spend time with even more wonderful animals. As a conservationist and vegetarian, caring for animals is something that’s deeply important to me. I’ve helped care for friends’ pets and homes for years, and I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I enjoy keeping pets in their familiar routines and surroundings, giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and snuggles. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pets. My schedule allows me to provide reliable care before and after work, as well as evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me additional flexibility during those days. Tuesday through Thursday, I work in the office from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. If you’re located near the downtown Roanoke area, I may be able to stop by during my lunch break when needed. My goal is to maintain your pet’s routine as closely as possible and ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and household routines. As someone who shares my home with both a dog and a cat, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs. I have experience caring for friends’ pets and homes and treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy and well cared for.
About: 10+ years in kennel and veterinary medicine. Can take on walks & play to get the mid day zoomies out! Can administer medications as well. I am available all day on Mondays. This gives more time for long walks, feeding, medicating if needed and getting all of the zoomies out! I can pick up pets and take them to parks they are familiar with. We can take longs walks around the neighborhood. Whatever works best for the pet!
“Highly recommend! Morgan was absolutely fantastic looking after our boys. I tend to get anxious when I’m away from them, but she kept me at ease by keeping me informed with updates. Will be using her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alpine Hills
Sydney was great. She took care of our two pups for eight days. One of which is sweet but reactive to dogs she does not know. We asked her to stay an extra day so we could spend one more night at the beach and she reorganized her schedule....she if very nice to work with.
Megan was wonderful! This was her first time staying at our home with our two high-energy little dogs for five nights. She communicated consistently, sent daily photo updates, and took great care of our pups so that we were able to truly relax while we were away. She also treated our home with the utmost respect. We came back to a clean, well-cared-for house, and she even picked the ripe blackberries from our bush and put them in the fridge so they wouldn't go bad. As an added surprise, she left us some housewarming gifts, which was incredibly kind and thoughtful. We would book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive pet sitter!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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.
