“We left our large breed- very spoiled and routine driven dog in Patricia’s care for a week. We had concerns at first because our Dog has never been left alone for much more than a few hours. Patricia experience, knowledge and caring made our summer vacation a pleasant experience. Patricia even took pictures and send updates to my wife which also helped elevate some concerns and stress We highly recommend Patricia .”
“Kayla did a fantastic job! I’ve never hired a pet sitter before, so I was really nervous about how my animals would do. She was very reassuring and sent me pictures and updates every day. She did fantastically with the dogs, especially my really anxious one. I appreciated how attentive she was to my dogs’ health. She let me know quickly when one of them inevitably puked from stress and made sure they were both happy and tired before leaving for the day.”
“Hailey is punctual and has good handling skills. Our cat was comfortable and happy with her sitting and she was accommodating with changes. She communicates well, is punctual and thorough. I recommend her for house sitting.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve raised and trained dogs since I was young and have experience with puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, high-energy dogs, and more relaxed companions. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with medical needs and can administer oral medications, topical medications, injections, and provide care for dogs wearing cones or diapers. I work from home, which allows me to provide a flexible schedule and spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care. Dogs staying with me are rarely left alone for more than 2–4 hours, receive regular potty breaks every 2–4 hours, and get lots of attention throughout the day. I always strive to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, fresh food and water, and lots of affection. All outdoor time is supervised, and I provide a clean, quiet, and stress-free environment. There are no other animals in the house. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout their stay or visit. I have access to a large backyard and a ton of greenery right across the street.
“Pilar was great with my dog and two cats. She took amazing care of them and sent updates and pictures everyday while I was gone. I was especially impressed that my dog, who always sleeps under the covers in bed with me, actually listened and slept on the sofa chair by the bed for her since she mentioned she usually has the dogs sleep not in the bed. He did great with it for her and was right back in bed with me when I got home. I would definitely book with Pilar again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 10, as the neighborhood dog sitter! I worked as an animal specialist at PetSmart throughout college and have a great love for all animals. As a dog mom of 3 rescues I totally understand in importance in showing everyone love, especially those who struggle with separation anxiety. I am extremely patient and love giving amazing belly rubs and really long walks! I am currently a stay at home dog mom so picking up mid day check ins is fairly easy for me! I have three rescue dogs of my own and truly understand the importance of a mid day potty/play break! I will take care of your pet like they are my own! If that means your dog has to sleep under the blanket they are more the welcome to keep my feet warm!
“Daysi was AMAZING! This was our first time using Rover and Daysi put us at ease. She made sure we were comfortable and in the loop our whole trip sending updates and photos the whole time. We have an energetic pup and she went out of her way to make sure he got the enrichment he needs. 100/10 recommend ⭐️”
“Heidi was five minutes early for both the meet and greet and the actual house sitting booking. Finn had a great time with her, and I was very happy with how she cared for him. I received lots of updates and photos. We will not hesitate to book her again!”
About: Hi! I'm Julie! While new to the pet/housesitting world, I have taken care of dogs, cats and horses since childhood. I've also been a human caregiver. I'm a retired RN of 35+ years who also worked in veterinary medicine as a vet assistant for 5 years. My love of animals has persuaded me to pursue a career of providing care to your furry family members. My preferred fur clientele would be mature adult/senior small dogs or cats (kittens or adults) who prefer to stay in their own familiar surroundings. As the mom of a special needs dog (epilepsy) I'm well versed in giving medications and providing seizure care. With owner direction and observation of administration, I would feel comfortable administering injections. Whether your pet is into sedate leash walks, snuggles, belly rubs or prefers self entertainment with toys or observing the outside world, I'm happy to oblige. My schedule is generally very flexible and my goal is to take care of your fur babies and your home as if they were my own. I'm currently working as a contract nurse and am able to set my schedule on a monthly basis. This allows flexibility for your sitting needs. I have 3 furry family members of my own. I have 2 standard poodles inside and a tuxedo longhaired cat that's in and out. All have been spayed and receive regular vet care. One of the poodles is special needs due to epilepsy and is on multiple medications daily to prevent seizures. I will care for your pet in your home as if they were my own.
“Sarah is such an amazing person! We had her stay the night a few nights with our dog and she was such a wonderful caregiver to her. Our dog is very shy and timid and by day two she was sending us videos of her being playful and zooming around with her. Sarah has an amazing way with dogs and she also saved our apartment from burning down by smelling something burning and it was one of our air wick wall plug ins! She is amazing, attentive and has great communication. My husband and I can’t recommend her enough!”
“We are thankful for Lillian! Our dogs took to her immediately and she sent great photos. We know they were well cared for while we were away. And our house was kept clean and tidy! We (and the dogs) would love to have her back!”
About: With over 15 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve worked with a wide range of animals—from loyal German Shepherds and playful pit bulls to energetic labs, cuddly chihuahuas, and high-energy doodles. My experience also extends to caring for cats, ducks, and even fish, making me a versatile and trustworthy companion for your pets. Whether it’s a daily walk, overnight care, or just some extra love and attention, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I am a teacher during most of the year, but I love working with animals. I am trying to build my summer with pet sitting, dog walking, etc to keep myself active and busy. I do not offer pet sitting in my own home. However, in your home I will keep the schedule/routines you use and ensure your pet gets plenty of cuddles and care.

I treat your space with respect and keep you updated with messages and photos so you have total peace of mind. Whether you need a quick walk during the day or reliable care while you’re out of town, I’m here to help. Let me know how I can make things easier for you and your pets!

FAQs for House Sitting - Altamahaw
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Altamahaw on Rover is $54.58 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 800 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Altamahaw. 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 Altamahaw 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 Altamahaw 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 Altamahaw 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 Altamahaw. On Rover:
- 91% 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.
