“Tania is fabulous. I came home to a tidy house and happy dogs. She kept me up to date with photos and news on the pups daily. I will hire Tania again. This was also very last minute and I was able to trust her right away. I am very thankful I took a chance with Rover. It worked out well.”
About: I have loved animals like family as long as I can remember. And feel I have a special connection with them and them with me because of my calm and centered energy. Animals communicate and respond through peoples energy and I feel its how they know to feel safe. I care for dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, lizards etc. And am happy to answer any questions on all. I work for myself so I have a flexible schedule and can usually accommodate most schedule needs of pet parents. I typically make morning and evening rounds and unless I am out of town I am available 7 days a week. I take pride in my attention to detail and upon first introduction I try and get as much information as possible about a clients home and needs pertaining to their pets and what they are used to so that I can do my best to maintain that schedule and activity.
“Wow. I feel so lucky to have found Laura! She is wonderful with my dogs. While I was away, she kept in constant contact with me and returned every text and phone call promptly, which really put my mind at ease. Laura is very friendly, kind, and caring, and I know my pets and my home are in good care when I am away.”
“Mara was great, the dogs seemed to really like her. She was on time, communicative, and respectful of the house. She sent lots of pictures, took all three on a walk at once which isn’t easy to do. She was patient with my old gal with doggy dementia. I would hire her again”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rithy! She is timely, communicative and treats your pet like they’re her own. This was my first time using Rover and I feel lucky to have found Rithy. She stayed with Clover for the weekend, texted me photos of their adventures, and she made homemade food for Clover! I think they both had a great weekend together.”
“We had a great experience with Andi! This was my first time using Rover and upon meeting her I felt very comfortable having her in my home with dog. She sent photo updates which I appreciated and my dog must have had a great time because he was pooped out when I got home. Thank you Andi! I highly reccomend her and will definitely book with her again.”
“Micki is an absolute God send! My husband and I were away for 8 nights on vacation to see our granddaughter and Micki stated with our two dogs Annie and Fergus. Annie is a 12 yr old Maltese and Fergus is a 2 yr old Goldendoodle. Both have the ability to be a handful in their own way. Micki cares for them with expertise, love, joy, individuality for each of them, and fun! She sent us pictures every day of what they were doing to keep us in the loop. She walks them, plays with them, and loves them. To top it off, our house was immaculate when we got home! We are so grateful for Micki in our life! ❤️”
“I always worry my dogs will be such a handful for Erik but he always reassures me they are doing fine and he doesn't mind the chaos that is my pack! I hope he loves the dogs as much as I know they love being with him!”
“Jesse did a great job with our two crazy dogs, Roxy and Klaus. He set up a meet & greet time with us well in advance of our trip. He asked detailed questions prior to our trip and communicated very well. Not only did he take care of our doggo's, he was mindful about keeping the house clean and attentive to details. Jesse checked in with us, sent us a few pictures and asked questions when they came up. The dogs were quite happy and our neighbors were too. Jesse even set up a scent hunt in the back yard to keep Roxy and Klaus happy and to tire them out. We highly recommend Jesse to watch over your pets and home. Cheers!”
“Amieliana was great with our pups. She was very attentive to their needs and very responsive to messages. I felt completely at ease on our trip knowing they were well taken care of.”
About: I’ve had 8 years of experience caring for animals such as dogs, cats, sheep, goats, and even pigs! I’ve had experience walking and feeding all such animals. I work part time so I have a flexible work schedule, I’m use to dedicating time to caring for animals, I have lots of free time. I play with them, feed them, give them water, take them on walks, let them play outside as needed, give them attention, ensure their health.
About: Animal caretaker at horse ranches, farms, and house pets with a lifetime of experience. Horse mom and dog mom to a very sweet 9 yr old Rottie-Shepard named Leif. Self-employed, so I spend all my time with my own pup. He loves playing with other dogs, so we want to host some furry friends! We live on 1/2 acre with a deck for napping on and a nice yard full of sticks and tennis balls. Several big dog beds. Right next to walking trail. Potty breaks can be on leash, on tie out, or off leash with supervision depending on owner preference. Have medium and XL crates available for use, but bring what makes your dog comfortable. All good dogs with parent permission that are allowed car rides may get dog park trips, easy hikes, or beach days depending on our schedule and the weather. Puppies and senior dogs welcome. I understand complex feeding schedules and medication and am happy to stick to your routine. Photo and video updates daily. Your dog will be tired and happy when you get home! I’m a self-employed, part-time remote work from home weekday mornings and local gigging musician on weekends, gone for around to 3-4 hours. Wifi camera set up with access on my phone, with microphone and speaker. My yard is mostly fenced, except for the front of the driveway. I live on the back part of 1/2 acre that is fenced. Dogs will be supervised for potty breaks, on leash or off depending on owner preference and behavior. Can also supervise on tie out for potty-shy dogs. Play on the yard and between dogs is supervised with walks on bike trail and adventures to nearby parks when allowed.
“Benjamin was amazing with my three boys. I have two very social cats and one who is very shy and scared of new people. Benjamin was wonderful with them all and the shy one even came out and sat with him which never happens. My two social boys slept on his lap. Definitely going to have him again. Three cat 🐈 approved! 🥰”
“Katie is exceptional- she is incredibly intuitive with animals, calming, kind, accommodating and an incredible communicator. My sweet dog is a nervous little guy but she soothed him excellently and made sure he had all his comforts and plenty of walks and cuddles! If you book with her you are leaving your animal in excellent hands. 11/10 would recommend!”
“Debbie is the ultimate professional when it comes to her compassionate, playful care of our Shiloh. We had an opportunity to meet prior to her visit which was wonderful for all of us. She provided updates and videos and information so that we felt completely at ease while away. She left our home more beautiful than when we left it. I am so grateful to have found her and highly recommend her services to anyone in need.”
“Naycis was so sweet with Bogart! She was very attentive to him and took him out to explore his surroundings which he loved. She was wonderful attending to all his needs as an 18 year-old. She regularly sent pictures and updates and was a lovely person. Bogart would love to see her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats & other pets since I was a teenager. I can also take care of other pets if necessary. Thanks! I am very flexible with my availability. Being outside with nature is necessary for my well being so pet care is second nature to me. I will take great care of your fur bbs in your home. I will give them pets, snuggles, food & play with them! I will be present with your pets while you are away to ease their separation anxiety & make sure they have the proper care.
“Julianna was excellent at our home! She had to give our Calli some medicines, which is a challenge for me and I appreciate that Julianna had no problem in administering medications. I highly recommend her and plan on using her in the near future again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alten
We were so happy with Brenda’s care of our dog. She was very flexible with her ever moving schedule and took my dog for multiple walks. He was very content. I would highly recommend Brenda as your next Rover hire. He gave us great comfort, knowing that our dog was being taken care of while we attended various wedding ceremonies that weekend.
Laura was absolutely amazing!! She took great care of Bailey and Ahti! She logged all of Bailey’s medications so we could follow it, and was on top of all of her needs. Both of our pets were calm and happy to see us when we got home, telling us they had a wonderful, relaxing, playful time with Laura. We would be more than happy to have Laura watch Bailey and Ahti at our home again!
Rissa was amazing! We were gone for 10 days, and she took care of our home and our fur baby girl, Harley. She gave us updates every day! Harley loved her, and she loved the dog walks and park visits they took. Risa kept our home tidy and got our mail and packages as they arrived; she also watered our plants. We will definitely keep using her services. I was very happy and at ease that our girl and home were in good hands while we were away. This was the first time we were away from our girl for that long.
Rithy was absolutely amazing! She cared for our dog, Ollie, during our wedding and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and able to be part of such a special day for us. She was so easy to communicate with, kind, attentive, and truly wonderful to have around. She handled every part of the day so smoothly, from helping with photos to making sure Ollie was settled and cared for afterward. Knowing he was in such thoughtful, capable hands let us fully enjoy our wedding day. You could tell how much she genuinely cared about Ollie. By the end of the day, she felt more like a close friend attending our wedding than someone we had just met. We will be using Rithy for all our house sitting going forward and I cannot recommend Rithy enough!
My dog was clearly happy and well cared for. She was acting like "Welcome back, where's Roisin?" Roisin sent lots of pictures, kept in good communication, took my dog on hikes and walks that we can no longer do. My dog was thrilled and so were we. Roisin stayed over a couple of nights and you'd never know anyone had been here...except for the happy dog. We will definitely asked her back again.
Holly is an amazingly caring, responsible, clean sitter. We have two large dogs and she made sure they were both well cared for. She even read to them just like we do at home. She came to our home and stayed for several days. We will definitely be having her back. If you are lucky enough to hire Holly she’s exactly who you want to watch your dog(s)!
Clair has always been a huge help with watching our dogs and taking care of our house! Lots of updates and the dogs really enjoy her. Her communication is great, our dogs always look like they’re having a good time in her photos, and we come home to a tidy house. I definitely recommend Clair for dog and house sitting.

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 Alten 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 Alten 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Alten 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!

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 .

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.
