“Razan was great with our pets! She has a very calm and welcoming energy and even our kids commented on how little our (very reactive) dog was phased by her meet & greet visit. Razan provided lots of updates, pics and videos. She is a wonderful sitter!”
“Anna did a great job with daily check ins and photos. Despite being out of cell service during her stay she continued to update me so when I did get service I was able to see what happened. The house was left clean and tidy and the pets were happy!”
“This was our first time using Jessica, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met her, we felt comfortable and knew our dogs were in good hands. She was incredibly communicative throughout our trip and never made me feel like I was being a worry wart. She understood that leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful and was always kind, responsive, and reassuring. Jessica took excellent care of our dogs, especially our French Bulldog, who requires extra attention in the Utah heat. She clearly took her responsibilities seriously, made sure they had plenty of potty and outdoor breaks, cleaned up after them, and paid close attention to their needs. She also took great care of our home, brought in our packages, and left everything just as we had hoped. We truly lucked out finding Jessica. We would absolutely book with her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy Rover sitter.”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home with Enzo for 11 nights, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Leaving Enzo is incredibly hard for us—he’s our baby—and Emily went above and beyond to put our minds at ease. She sent photos and short videos throughout each day, including meals, walks, enrichment, and goodnights, and always kept us informed or asked questions when needed. It was clear from her updates—and their very sweet goodbye when we got home—that Enzo genuinely loved her. She was also incredibly respectful of our home. We left a clean house and came home to one, which was so appreciated after a long trip. Emily is sweet, funny, communicative, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I felt like both Enzo and our home were in wonderful hands. 10/10—we would absolutely trust Emily with Enzo again and highly recommend her!”
“Kelly was an outstanding house sitter. She handled our dogs who were sick unbelievably well and we feel so fortunate to have had her watching the dogs. We have an older dog that required a fair amount of medication management. She allowed us to have a stress free vacation and for that we are so grateful. We highly recommend Kelly.”
“Ashlie was really great! We have the neediest dogs in the world and we’re very nervous to leave them at home for our first post-pandemic vacation, but she was the best! We got regular updates and pictures, and our came home to very happy and contented pups (not usual for when we leave town). We will absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone who asks!”
“Meisha was amazing!! She kept me in the loop with multiple updates throughout the day and pics on walks and snuggling with my Berner. It was my first time using rover, so I of course was a little nervous, but from the minute I met Meisha my nervousness was put to rest. I would 100% recommend Meisha to watch your furry friend(s) and will without a doubt use her again. Thanks again Meisha!!”
“Veronica was so pleasant and caring. Took excellent care of our lab as well as kept our house clean during our two weeks abroad. Even ran the washing machine as well as the dishwasher prior to us coming home. Our lab was super happy. Would trust her in the future if/when we need her again.”
About: I work at a vet cleaning dog kennels on Weekend mornings. I like all the different kinds of dogs there are. I am always willing to help out at the vet if needed. My schedule is wide open! I'm currently living with my parents. I am hoping working with Rover will work into full time hours. Availabilty will not be difficult for me. I have a fenced in backyard with lots of room to play and I have one calico cat. That I take good care of. I can easily take your dogs for walks and check in on your lovable fur baby.
“She was perfect! Puppies were well loved and didn't even miss us 😅 We were able to go for such a long stretch and not worry about them! would definitely love to use her again!”
About: Ive owned big dogs & strange needy cats all my life & its made me the animal lover i am today! Ive been walking 135 lb dogs since I was 8! I am small, but i know them well! Ive been working at a boarding facility/vet clinic for 6 years working in the pet care industry & i love it! Ive learned so much & have worked with all kind of breeds, of all sizes & seen all kinds of pet behavior! I’ve found such a passion through creating relationships with pets & it really is so fulfilling! Ive gained lots of skills & knowledge to take care of your amazing fur friends like my own family! I currently do work full time however im available most days for drops ins or walks! just let me know a few days in advance & we can get a visit for your furry friend scheduled! I do accept same day, but I just may not be available! I have a two bedroom apartment. One bedroom is not used and is more of a pet entertainment room. I have a kennel for safety or just for a quiet place to lay. Many many dog beds! we start off the morning by going potty, then breakfast. Usually after we digest breakfast, we go for a neighborhood stroll. We have a park nearby thats perfect for ball/frisbee. I keep dogs on leash, and just use a really long line! Im usually only gone at most 4-6 hours at a time, but I live within 5 minutes from work so easily accessible. I have a pet camera to be able to keep an eye on the house while im away.
“Leah did a wonderful job babysitting my two doodles for two nights at my house! The dogs enjoyed cuddling with her and were well cared for. Leah left my house clean too. Will have her stay again!”
“Annie was wonderful with our pups! She sent lots of photos and updates, stuck to our dogs usual schedules, and left the house very clean! We will definitely hire her again.”
“Samuel was great with my senior dog for an overnight trip that I had. He paid attention to her special mobility needs, and gave her some medications. He would text me updates and photos. I came home to a well taken care of and happy dog.”
“This was my first time using a service for dog sitting. I have a somewhat nervous Nelly of a dog when it comes to strangers. We booked Abigail for 5 nights in our home. Our dog is happy and healthy. I could not have asked for more.”
“Liza was a great choice for watching my sweet boy, Banjo! I had a night shift at the hospital, and my dog needed to be able to go the bathroom every few hours. Liza was so prompt in answering my request and was so willing to help me out. She was very gracious bringing my dog out through the night. She went above and beyond with walks around the neighborhood before bed and upon waking up. I would recommend Liza if you want a gentle presence to be with your beloved pet!”

Razan was absolutely amazing with our girl Harley and I can’t say enough wonderful things about her. We had never left our dog with a sitter before - we always had roommates who would watch her- and I was kind of nervous but Razan was so communicative and sent so many pictures and videos while we were gone. I could tell when we did the meet and greet that she is an animal lover which also eased my mind. We would have her watch Harley again in a heartbeat and are so thankful for her.
I am just so grateful to have found Kaitlyn. She is absolutely amazing and took the best care of my pup. She is incredibly responsible and really went above and beyond to ensure my pup was eating and happy, took excellent care of my place, and was so communicative which gave me such peace of mind while traveling.
Abbey did great watching Goose! Took him on a nice long hike, which he loved. Goose got sick randomly while Abbey was watching him, and she took such good care of him and cleaning up after him, while keeping me in the loop with how he was doing. Would definitely recommend Abbey for pet sitting.
Once again, Rachel did amazing caring for our 2 high energy dogs while we were away for the long weekend. She did excellent making sure our dog with a chronic illness was taken care of and supplied endless frisbee time for our other. I highly recommend Rachel!!
Kelly is an outstanding petsitter and homesitter: My wife and I get frequent updates and pictures letting us that our dogs and cats are doing well, which is a huge relief while we’re out of town! She also takes care of our house and leaves it clean for our arrival. Unquestionably Kelly is the best sitter we have had in the many years we have had pets!
Liza was a great choice for watching my sweet boy, Banjo! I had a night shift at the hospital, and my dog needed to be able to go the bathroom every few hours. Liza was so prompt in answering my request and was so willing to help me out. She was very gracious bringing my dog out through the night. She went above and beyond with walks around the neighborhood before bed and upon waking up. I would recommend Liza if you want a gentle presence to be with your beloved pet!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Alta Vista is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $39 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.
As of November 2026, there are 2,688 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alta Vista. 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 Alta Vista 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 Alta Vista 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 Alta Vista 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 Alta Vista. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
