After two lengthy road trips in two weeks, it was really nice to return home to scooped litter boxes, a clean home, and a happy cat! Gloria does a wonderful job of taking care of both our kitty and our house (and our plants, too!). I highly recommend her.

Everything goes very smooth when Joyce is with the dogs. The house is in good order, the dogs are properly cared for and communication about them is good. It's a relief to enjoy vacation and not worry.

Hannah is an exceptional caregiver to your four legged friends. She has been so friendly and professional the entire time. Our dog is older and has some special care instructions she was so understanding and kind. We will definitely be using her again in the future!

Kate is wonderful! She cared for our two fur-babies, in our home, for five days. We also enjoyed three home play dates before our trip. I am convinced that my babies love her more. She took great care of our home and pups. I highly recommend her services. She is super clean, friendly, personable, and intelligent. Only a few things i love about Kate in the short time we’ve been acquainted. I might schedule more playdates just to have her over. Thank you Kate!!! You are a gem. 🐾💕🏡❤️🥇

I would definitely recommend Erin... we had a weekend trip planned and due to the distance decided better to leave our Golden Retriever, Jack, home. We contacted Erin for in home pet sitting, she came to the house for a meet and greet a few weeks prior to the stay, she was great from the start. Jack immediately took to her as well as our kitty, Griffin. We received lots of pictures from Erin of Jack and Griffin while on our trip, which put our minds at ease while being away. When we arrived home I could tell there must have been lots of play time because Jack was calm and relaxed. Our house was just as we left it. Wonderful experience! I will definitely be calling Erin on our next trip away. Thank you Erin.

Bailey stayed with our very nervous dog and our cat while we traveled for over a week. She did a wonderful job, spent a lot of time with my pets, took the dog on lots of walks (even in the rain!) and generally kept them happy and entertained. She even cleaned my house before I got home. We will absolutely be using her on the future and would recommend her to anyone I knew who needed a pet sitter.

Cate was amazing with our three doggos. I came home from a weekend of being out of town to a happy home and happy doggos! She was responsive to messages and sent pics of our fur babies to put out minds at ease while away! Would definitely recommend Cate for your pet needs ♥️

Veronica took very good care of my two cats. I loved that she sent pictures of them every day. The litter boxes were clean and she kept the floor around them swept and clean. I will definitely continue to ask her to care for my babies.

Kris did an amazing job watching our dogs and caring for our home. He had good communication, kept the dogs routines and cleaned up after himself including washing the sheets and making the bed where he slept. He sat for us before, and we will definitely use him again.

About: I have had pets all my life; dogs, cats and many others as well! I am a lover of all pets and I am well versed in caring for them as well! I have owned and raised all ages of dogs and cats since I was young, so I am very comfortable with all ages, sizes, and species! I am an incoming college student currently on summer break with early morning practices so the entire rest of my days are primarily open and free to help take care of your furry friends! Daily, I have my own animals to take care of, but I am here to help and offer some assistance in making sure your pets are safe and getting all the care you want them to have. I am very respectful of the safety precautions and environment that you would want for your pets, I find it very important to understand and uniquely cater to the needs of your furry, scaley, or feathery friends. Just like us all pets are different and I will happily take on the responsibility to carefully and safely watch over, take care of, and play with your beloved pets. I would love to hear any specific instructions or suggestions for your pets so I can ensure I am providing all that they need, I can use my own knowledge, but ultimately you know your loved ones best!

About: Hey there fury friends and owners! I'm Bailey and I love animals, I have car, dog, bird and farm animal experience. I would love to help youtake care of yours. I'm so looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks for stopping by my page. My availability currently is pretty open. I’m available part-time on a weekly service-perhaps every couple days if needed. It all depends on the location and services needed. I’m unsure how many pets I’m willing to take on at the moment. I can’t help but speak to an animal in high pitch tones as well as full on conversation with them like they’re answering me! Anything to get a head twist or a butt wiggle.

About: I am an animal lover and have had one or more dogs my entire life of different sizes and breeds. I have years of experience helping friends, neighbors, and family with their pets. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, hamsters, bunnies, and chinchillas. So I am happy to care for more than just dogs if needed. My services include house drop in visits, and dog walking. I am always open to creating customized care plans to suit individual client needs. I am very flexible and willing to work you to ensure your fur baby is happy, healthy, and comfortable in your absence. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have. I look forward to working with your and your animals!😇 *Prices may vary depending on level of care needed. I currently work a full time job, and come home on my lunch break everyday to check on my dog. There’s about 3 - 4 hours the dog may be left alone. So if you require dog boarding, your dog needs to be crate trained and I request that you bring their crate from home. I am willing to make exceptions just explain your situation. I have an unfenced at shared yard which my dog plays amazing in! Lots of space for the dogs to run and play. There are also some amazing trails and beach access near by that are perfect for nice walks.

About: I’ve lived with and cared for multiple dogs my whole life, so being around animals feels natural to me. I have a soft spot for dogs and genuinely enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m often found free Monday's - Fridays 6am -2pm Pet care would fit great into my weekly routine because I’m looking to be more active during the day spending time walking When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, comfort level, and routine. I have experience with anxious dogs, so I understand the importance of patience, comfort, and making them feel safe. I notice what pets like and dislike so I can care for them in a way that keeps them comfortable and happy. I’m very consistent with feeding schedules and always make sure pets get plenty of activity, playtime, attention, and affection throughout the day.

FAQs for House Sitting - Alston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 204 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alston. 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 Alston 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 Alston 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 Alston 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 Alston. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
