“Taylor was just amazing! My husband and I go on a good amount of work trips and hate to leave our dogs at boarding. Taylor was wonderful house sitting and watching our two boys. She sent many updates throughout the day and we came home to 2 sweet doggie report cards that she made for their entire stay. Her background working in an animal hospital is also a huge plus. We came home to a clean house, and very happy boys. We hope to welcome her and her services again very soon!”
“Nicole is an absolute gem! She recently took care of my three cats for a week while we were away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This was their first time staying in our new house for an extended period, and I was a little worried about how they’d adjust—but Nicole handled everything perfectly. From the moment we connected, she made me feel completely at ease. Her kindness, attentiveness, and clear love for animals reassured me that my cats were in the best hands. She also dealt with a variety of personalities—one of my cats is very high-strung and not the easiest to get along with at first, but she was incredibly patient with him. She took the time to earn his trust, and by the end of the week, he had completely warmed up to her. That alone speaks volumes about her care and dedication! On top of that, Nicole sent regular photo updates of my cats, which put my mind at ease and made me feel connected to them even while I was away. It was such a thoughtful touch that really made a difference. Not only did she follow all instructions to a T, but she also went above and beyond to keep them happy and stress-free. I came home to three very content kitties and a clean litter box . If I ever need to leave on a trip again, I wouldn’t hesitate to book Nicole—she’s simply amazing!”
“Raina was exemplary! She took great care of our of menagerie (dogs, cats, and fish), leaving them healthy and happy. She followed every instruction we left! Amazing. Smart and kind! I loved her updates with fun pix of our fur babies. They completely accepted her as their new adopted mom! It was comforting to know she was enjoying them, too. This was the best puppy-and-cat babysitting experience we've ever had. We will definitely hire her again and again. She feels like family now, and I'm sure the animals agree :)”
About: I will take care of your fur babies as if they were my own. Big or small all are good with me. I am an animal lover. I will be doing this part time but if I can squeeze you in my schedule I will be more than glad to do so. My schedule is flexible as I am seeking a full-time job I will care for your pet in the comfort of their home while being careful of your house | am trustworthy | have high standards of ethic!
“Liberty was wonderful and took such great care of my dogs. She was so responsible and professional. She was very responsive and great with communication. She sent several pictures and videos of my dogs when I was gone and provided many updates. She also stayed at the house and was very respectful and left the house just as I had left it. She was wonderful and I would highly recommend.”
About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs isn’t just a job to me—it’s truly been my life for as long as I can remember. I have 4 years of professional experience as a veterinary technician, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve also bred French Bulldogs for 8 years, so I have extensive experience with puppies, including feeding, socialization, routines, and early training. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, high-energy dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I can also help reinforce basic training and good manners while your pup is in my care. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own. With a lifetime of experience, professional veterinary knowledge, and a genuine love for dogs, I want every pup staying with me to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home. 🐾❤️ Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily schedule because I already spend most of my time at home caring for my own dogs and working part-time from my computer. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to maintain regular feeding, potty, medication, exercise, and rest routines while giving each pet the individualized care they need. 🐾 Safety, Trust & a Home Away From Home Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I have a secure, fenced in yard with separate fenced areas, which allows me to safely give dogs their own space when needed. I also have **my own crates available** if your pup is comfortable with crating, and I can easily separate visiting dogs from my own dogs whenever necessary. My dogs are very friendly and used to having other dogs around, but I always prioritize safety and supervision. I’m especially careful about **size and temperament differences. I keep larger dogs separated from smaller dogs when appropriate, so everyone can enjoy their stay safely and comfortably. With secure outdoor areas, multiple ways to separate dogs, and plenty of hands on supervision, I’ll treat your pup like one of my own while they’re here. ❤️🐶
“She is awesome! I needed someone fast and she was there. She was able to go and take my dog out when I had no one and did it really fast, within an hour she was taking care of my dogs and also took pictures for me of my babies. Thank you 😊. This is just the beginning, as she will be my person to go to when I’m out”
About: I have two dogs of my own and have been caring for the pets of family and friends since I was 14. I’m comfortable with pets of different personalities and love making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat your furry friends with the same care and attention I give my own! As a current grad student, I maintain a structured schedule and prioritize being reliable and organized with my commitments. I plan my availability in advance to ensure I can give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m happy to coordinate with pet owners to find a schedule that works best for their pets’ routines and needs! I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being by following their normal routines and respecting their individual needs. I carefully follow owners’ instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and any special care requirements. I keep pets in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, provide plenty of attention and affection, and communicate with owners to keep them updated while they’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own!
“It was great having Tyler watch our two chocolate labs in our home. Everything went smoothly and the dogs were happy! Will definitely use Tyler again and hope he will become our regular fur baby sitter!”
About: I used to have a successful pet-sitting business where dogs could stay at my house overnight, instead of being stuck in overnight kennels. I had regular clients, but had to end it because I was in high school and doing other extracurricular activities. I've had dogs since I was a small child. They are my family and I would do anything for them. Knowing how much my dogs mean to me, I will treat other's dogs like I would my own. My schedule is very flexible and I have reliable transportation. I think it's very important to make sure dogs are comfortable, happy, and given the care each individual dog requires. Having the opportunity to work with dogs would be something I would love to do- it wouldn't feel like work.
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I am new to sitting for Rover. I haven been sitting dogs /homes since I was a teenager. From playful pups to gentle seniors, I’ve had the joy of raising and looking after a variety of breeds. I currently have four amazing dogs of my own—a Labrador Retriever, Rottweiler, Pit Bull mix, and Terrier mix—so I’m no stranger to different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just a cozy nap in the sun, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I treat every dog like family, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I work fully remote, which means I have a flexible schedule and can give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their established routines as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. During drop-in visits, I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, and potty breaks—plus any feeding, medication, or special care instructions you provide. For dog walks, I ensure each walk is safe, engaging, and tailored to your dog’s energy level and preferences. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a brisk walk to burn off energy, I always keep their safety and happiness top of mind.
“We Loved having Kimmie take care of our fur baby! What a peace of mind knowing someone was there tending to all her needs! We will use her again next time we need someone to watch our girl! Thank you!”
About: I got my dog when I was 13 and she was the best thing that happened to me. She was the most loving and caring dog I ever met but lost her to a serious illness and I just love to give out my heart to animals and would love to spend some time with your animals. I am a stay at home mom and the moment. Son is five and in kindergarten and he loves animals just as much as I do but because I’m not completely over losing my dog I haven’t been able to get him a dog for himself. I’m home and have a dog park right now the road from me so keeping dogs a breeze. I always have an eye on the animals. Never feed food other then the kind given. Nothing in the rooms that they would stay in that could hurt them.
“Madeleine was great! She took care of our 2 dogs for 4 days and nights while we were at Lake Burton for a fishing tournament. She did an awesome job, and sent lots of pictures. I would highly recommend Madeleine and I hope to hire her again in the future.”

About: All my life I have grown up with cats and had one pet dog growing up. I have a dog now and 4 cats at home, so I am an animal lover at heart. I absolutely love dogs and kittens. Im a student and work at a retail store in the mornings, so I am available to sit, and walk in the afternoons and evenings. I have a two story house for them to roam, and a front yard to play in. I live in a gated community for us to go on walks.
About: I am dedicated to being an attentive caretaker, providing love, companionship, and meeting all needs to ensure the well-being of any pet under my care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 318 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alto. 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 Alto 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 Alto 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 Alto 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.
