“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!”
“If I could give Robin 10 stars I would. Robin took such good care of my dog, followed all of my instructions, and went above and beyond to make him comfortable and happy. I cannot express enough how much I appreciate her efforts, her professionalism, and her genuine, caring nature. I highly recommend Robin.”
“Christina did a fantastic job watching Hank and Milo. She followed my instructions to a tee and I came back to a spotless house and very happy pups. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Michelle was great! She watched our dog and cat while we were away for the weekend. She was super responsive and prompt and sent a ton of pictures. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Betty was wonderful! She kept our pets happy and well cared for, left the house exactly as we left it, and sent daily updates with photos. She followed all instructions for both our home and our pets, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We will absolutely book her again for future trips.”
About: I’ve loved dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have had pets for most of my life. I have experience caring for my own dogs and cats, as well as pets belonging to family members. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I will always care for them with patience, kindness, and attention. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to care for pets. I’m available for house sitting on Mondays and Tuesdays, and I’m also available during the daytime on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. My availability varies on weekends, but I always keep my Rover calendar updated so you can see when I’m available. I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and loving care. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions and routine. I make sure pets have fresh water, meals on time, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I keep doors and gates secure, maintain a clean and safe environment, and send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Ashlie was AMAZING. She arrived early and was super knowledgeable about how to handle puppies. She is quick to respond, she also took amazing pictures of our puppy, Roxas. On top of that, she even taught him a new trick while we were away- “shake”! Super grateful to have her as a sitter, she really is one of the best. We are so happy that she has helped us build On Roxas’s list of commands :) Roxas Warmed up to her so quickly too! You are in good hands with Ashlie as a sitter!”
“Makenzie was amazing! She took care of our two huskies and our cat for a week. She kept us updated and responded fast! We can back to a clean home and well taken care of pets! She went above and beyond and we really appreciate it! Great peace of mind!”
“Our cat Leo loved Shannon! We felt so fortunate that she was willing to hang out with him during the days while we were gone on vacation. We loved the photos we got each day and came home to a happy cat, our Christmas packages safely brought inside, and she even kept my basil plant alive! We will definitely work with her again. Happily recommend to anyone with a fur baby.”
“Madison is WONDERFUL with the dogs. She does a great job giving attention to three attention-seeking dogs! It's so nice to leave and know your dogs are in great hands. Thanks Madison!”
About: Leaving your pet with someone new is stressful, I get it. My goal is simple. Treat your pet like family, so you can relax when you are gone. Every visit includes real attention, not just the basics. Playtime, enrichment, and whatever routine your pet is used to. I take time upfront to learn their personality and quirks, so care feels familiar to them, not disruptive. You’ll get honest, timely updates with photos so you’re never left wondering how things are going. I’m a dog mom of two, and I grew up with dogs my whole life. I’ve also looked after friends’ pets for years, so I know how much it means to leave them in good hands. Every animal has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to really understand each one I care for. Reach out and let’s set up a meet and greet. I’d love to meet your pet! I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule most days. That means I can offer consistent visits at the same time each day, or adjust if your pet’s routine needs something different. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, feeding, fresh water, and playtime or cuddles, depending on what they’re used to. I match walks to your dog’s energy level, and any specific instructions you give me, whether that’s a calm stroll or a longer walk to burn off energy. House sitting: I treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Beyond looking after your pets routine, I keep an eye on the house, bring in mail or packages if needed, and leave things exactly as I found them.
“Sophia was professional and kind. She paid close attention to our sweet, medically complex senior gal. We felt confident that Sophia would take good care of Lillie, and are looking forward to continuing to work with Sophia again soon!”
About: Hello, My name is Kennedy and I recently earned my bachelors degree from the university of Utah and I love animals! I have always been around animals and have cared for them growing up. I have also watched and taken care of other dogs while in college to earn extra income. I’m used to administering medication (dog epilepsy, diabetes, etc.), walking, feeding, and giving them the love and affection that they need. I work 30 hours/week as a therapist, but my schedule is very flexible. I never get off later than 5 pm and I have openings in between sessions throughout the day. I am willing to also stay overnight if needed and am open to being flexible to whatever you and your animals needs are! I also would host your dog at my house if need me :) I want it to be an enjoyable experience for you and your baby!
“We had Spencer house sit for our 4-year-old large-breed guardian pup, and he was fantastic! He kept us updated with regular messages and photos and was always quick to respond. He was patient and understanding of Anna's guardian-breed barking and gave her plenty of love and attention. He took wonderful care of both Anna and our home. We wouldn't hesitate to hire him again!”
About: I know how stressful it can be to entrust your baby to someone else. My goal is to provide a calm, clean, low-stress environment where your pup gets plenty of one-on-one attention, affection, and care. Because I work from home, your dog will rarely be left alone and will be part of my daily routine. I intentionally keep my bookings limited because I’d rather provide exceptional care to a few dogs than juggle a full house. Every dog has different needs, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable and at home. I’ve been a dog mom for over six years and have experience training dogs, so I’m comfortable reinforcing good habits, maintaining routines, and adapting to different personalities and energy levels. I hope your dog leaves with a wagging tail, new happy memories, and excitement to come back for their next vacation. Dogs are already at the center of my daily routine, so caring for yours fits right in. My own pup keeps me active with outdoor time/play, and working from home gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention and stick to your dog’s normal routine. I keep my bookings small so every dog gets the care and attention they deserve. Creating a safe and comfortable environment is my top priority. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, notice changes in behavior quickly, and make sure each pet feels secure and cared for throughout their stay. I keep my home clean, organized, and pet-friendly, with a calm environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel comfortable. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, boundaries, and any special needs, so their stay feels as familiar as possible. I also prioritize safe interactions between pets and always respect each animal’s comfort level. My own dog is friendly and social, but I can provide separate spaces when needed to ensure every pet feels safe and stress-free. You can expect regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing while they’re away.
“Cameron is truly the best! She took care of my baby Draco for over a week. My cat is usually shy and afraid of new people but he loved Cameron instantly!! She was very caring, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond for my boy especially since he requires special care and attention. Its the first time I’m leaving Draco for a long trip and Cameron always updated me and sent me photos of how Draco is doing so I felt super relieved being out of the country and having Cameron look after Draco. Cameron is the best!! Shes so polite, very communicative and even cleaned after the apartment even though she didn’t have to! She is the best, I am lucky to have found her!! Will definitely recommend her for your fur babies <3”
“Kara is great. We were in town for an extended Airbnb stay. She responded to a very last-minute request for dogsitting while we went to dinner. Was prompt, friendly, did well with the dogs. Everything we hoped for. Wish we had though of this sooner!”
About: I always grew up having pets. First a bunny, then we got a geico. Then a cat. My sister has since gotten a dog and has had me dog sit him multiple times I have a remote job with lots of flexibility on when I do it. So I'm very flexible on what I can do and timing Since I work remote pet sit at your house sit I won't have to go very many places, so the pet won't have to go into a crate very often or for very long
The median cost per night for house sitting in Alta Vista is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alta Vista
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.
Thanks for taking such good care of Nala and dealing with the gas issues at the house! I know Nala adores you and it makes it so much easier for me to travel! I appreciated your open communication with what was going on and making yourself available for when the plumber had to be in the house.
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!

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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
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.
