About: I provide dependable care with lots of attention, structure and communication so you never have to wonder if your fur baby is in the right hands. I work from home 5 days a week so whether your dog loves long walks, endless fetch sessions or simply some playtime and cuddles i am always available. I used to volunteer regularly at my local animal shelter and because of that I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining routines, administering basic medications and caring for pets with different energy levels and temperaments.
“Emily is amazing! Shes a great communicator and took good care of Pretzel and Coco. They both loved her! She made sure that pretzel wasn’t licking his stitches and gave him his medication on time. She’s followed introductions and went above in beyond for pretzels care. Thank you Emily! 😊”
About: Hi! My name is Carly and I’m a reliable, caring animal lover who treats every pet like family. I have 9 years of experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication reminders, and lots of attention and cuddles. I have three dogs of my own, 2 labs and a beagle! Safe to say I love every dog! You can trust that your pet is in good hands I’m currently working a part time job sometimes just office work, and then work days on weekends. But I’m available a majority of the time and what works best for most people! I provide a safe, loving environment with great supervision, regular walks, playtime, feeding, updates for owners, and personalized care to keep pets comfortable and happy!
“Katrina had a wonderful bond with Roxie. Roxie looked fabulous when we got home. She took such great care of Roxie and sent me pictures along with updates on how Roxie was doing while I was away. Since Katrina stayed at the house she also kept the house in pristine condition. I would definitely use Katrina again as she’s a great sitter and very trustworthy.”
“Kenya's the best! Truman is a needy dog with a medical condition, so it was stressful for us to leave him alone during our vacation. Kenya rested our minds with frequent updates of Trumam smiling so we always knew he was in good hands. I highly recommend Kenya... very professional and communicative. Will be using he again.”
About: Dogs have been an important part of my life since I got a Border Collie at age 10. Even before then I would look forward to taking care of neighbor's pets to save money to buy a dog. Ever since I got my first cat 10+ years ago they have also become an essential part of my life. I have a corgi (with a tail) named Tina and a white/gray cat named Thin Mint that I befriended as a stray. My love of animals ensures that your pet will get all the love and attention they need when in my care I have a flexible work and childcare schedule so I can adapt to meet your needs regardless of the situation. I can make time in my weekday schedule for routine check in or be available for a weekend vacation I have a car and flexible schedule and can come to your house whenever is needed. I can exercise your pet, clean their poop, feed, and love them
“Byrnnye was an excellent dog sitter and left our home immaculately clean, we appreciated her very much. She was very responsive in getting back to us with texts that kept us informed of our dog's wellbeing.”
“So great! We were able to relax while we were away knowing the dogs were being taken care of! We also really appreciated Sarah’s updates and patience with our younger pup who can be a handful.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family multiple times, giving me real experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I focus on keeping dogs comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine by planning specific times for feeding, walks, and bathroom breaks, while also checking in throughout the day to make sure the dog is comfortable, safe, and getting enough attention. I would care for your dog in your home by monitoring bathroom breaks, providing regular walks, feeding them on schedule, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs for the past 30 years. Neighbors, friends & family have trusted me to walk, feed and bathe their dogs. I will treat your pet like a member of my family. I look forward to meeting you and your baby! 🥰 I am currently not working so I will have all the time and attention to care for your pet. I am very flexible and trustworthy. They will get the ultimate pampering from me! I have a fenced in yard and close to a dog park. I will make sure they get plenty of love and exercise. You will not regret your decision to let me love & care for your pet.
About: I cared for my own dog from the time he was a tiny 10-week-old puppy until he moved away at 9 years old. I have my daily job 8-5 and work remotely usually during the week. I don't work on the weekend. I am flexible for the work hours as well. I live in an apartment, though I can bring dogs in when I am work remotely. I would prefer to go to your place to care for your dogs.
About: I have several years of hands-on pet care experience through neighborhood pet sitting and caring for family and friends’ animals. My experience includes feeding, basic care routines, supervision, walks for dogs, and maintaining clean, safe environments for all types of pets. I’m attentive to each animal’s specific needs and always follow owner instructions closely to keep routines consistent and stress-free. While most of my experience is with dogs, I am confident handling a variety of cats and dogs and providing calm, reliable care. I also provide regular photo updates so you can feel reassured while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive and consistent pet care throughout the week. I don’t have an outside job, which gives me time to focus on walks, check-ins, and maintaining each pet’s normal routine. At the same time, I do have a regular personal routine that includes helping care for my mom’s dogs, assisting my fiancé with work, and planning my upcoming wedding. Because of this, I keep my schedule structured and communicate clearly so pet owners always know what to expect. I’m able to accommodate a variety of bookings, especially weekday care and house sitting, while making sure each pet still receives reliable attention and care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep pets safe and comfortable in their normal routine. I pay attention to leash safety, secure doors and gates, and make sure pets are always supervised during care. I respect each home by keeping things clean and leaving it as I found it. I also provide clear communication and regular photo updates so owners stay informed and confident while they’re away.
“Jenarae has been so patient with my pups while learning about their personalities and behaviors and adjusting to their needs. She was responsive while we were away and we didn’t have to worry at all. We’ll definitely keep booking Jenarae for future visits.”
“Kristi was an amazing sitter! This was my first time using Rover and she made me feel really comfortable leaving my furbaby for the weekend. She kept me updated with pictures at least five times a day. She was even kind enough to gift Luna a set of toys that she has yet to put down ever since. Thank you for leaving Luna with a smile Kristi!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Altamont
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 4,420 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Altamont. 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 Altamont 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 Altamont 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 Altamont 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.

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.
