About: May not have any dog sitter experiences. But I have been the main parent and love giver for my PopZ for 11 years. I see that as a crucial deciding factor in determining how affectionate I am with dogs. PopZ has learned several tricks from us like roll over, right, left paw, pray, turn around, whisper (soft bark) and more. I love him a lot and I feel that all dog lovers do as well. So if I’m your dog sitter and/walker, you will get the best from me. *second best”. PopZ gets the best. lol. JK, all dogs are precious. Decided to take a break from working and spend more time with family and my cutie pie PopZ, our love pet since he was 2 months old. I just love dogs and thought, why not do dog sitting to have the opportunity to see other dogs that will brighten my day 🙂. I can dog sit, walk them any day if you give me 3 days notice. For dog sitting, I will ensure they have food, fresh water when needed. They will have petting and playtime 🙂. And will go for walks if that’s what’s part of the routine.
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.
About: Raised on a ranch caring for a multitude of animals, including dog. I have lifelong experience handling dogs and training puppies. As a passionate dog lover, I enjoy combining this hands-on background with taking pups on active outdoor adventures. Daily pet care naturally fits into my routine with walks or hikes with my own dog. It perfectly complements my active lifestyle and is something I look forward to every day. I provide safe, loving care tailored to each pet's needs, maintaining their routines at home or mine, ensuring comfort, security, and frequent updates for owners.
“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.”
“Kristi was the perfect sitter while my wife and I were away for the weekend. She was available on short notice and provided us with plenty of updates and photos of our dogs who were clearly happy to be spending time with her. We felt extremely comfortable leaving our dogs with Kristi and will definitely do so again in the future. Thank you so much Kristi!!!”
About: I’m a stay home daughter and a caretaker of my mom :) - My boys have flown the coup! Our home is still always busy with my dog Maya (Australian cattle dog mix) and Chia my mom’s dog ( Chihuahua mix ). We would love to play and visit with your loved one. My cats Mr. Nardwair and Miso will watch from a distance:) My home is very welcoming to all, even those with lots of hair. We have a doggy door to the outside( medium size or small dogs only). So your dog is welcome to the freedoms of coming and going easily from the shady grass of my backyard to the comforts of the couch. After a meet and greet to see if we all get along, I’m sure you will see we are a perfect fit to watch and care for your furry friend! Keri I’m a semi retired Homemaker so I have plenty of time for your furry loved one. I also have other family members who help care for your Pup :) I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs to keep your family member company and lots of activities in the home to entertain you Pup!
“Cindy did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and our home. She sent photos and updates. We can tell our doggie enjoyed Cindy, because it was if we hadn’t left when we got back. She was calm, relaxed and happy. Very happy with Cindy taking care of our pet and home!”
“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: 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.
“Kenya was fantastic with my high energy, admittedly needy dogs. Very professional and a great communicator! I feel very comfortable with Kenya and have already signed up to have her help us out again!”
“Garret followed the instructions for our 3 very particular cats to the letter. In fact, he bonded so well with them that they seem to prefer him to us now. He texted us photos periodically to show how well they were doing. He’s conscientious and caring, and he clearly enjoys interacting with our cats.”
“Gloree was communicative, professional, friendly and personable. She got along great with my dogs which is no small feat because on of our dogs is aloof. She also kept our house clean. We will be using her again!”
“Dominic and Mariam are amazing. Our 2 dogs and elderly cat were spoiled! Getting so many great pictures of our happy pets helped us relax and enjoy our holiday. To top it off - we returned to our house cleaner than we left it! I highly recommend!!!”

About: Your pets deserve a caregiver who treats them like family, and that’s exactly the level of care I provide. I am dependable, communicative, and dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. My background includes pet sitting, working at a grooming and boarding facility, and preparing specialized, homemade meals tailored to dogs’ unique dietary needs. I have experience with a wide variety of animals and understand the importance of consistency in their routines.

I'm a full-time freelancer so I am available at all times throught the workday to care for your pets. My schedule is always open and fluid. I am unable to board your pets as my roommates have severe allergies but I would be more than happy to petsit at your house!

FAQs for House Sitting - Altamont
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 4,419 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.
