About: Your pets or home will be safe with me! I have put in over 100 volunteer hours at my local animal shelter out of the love of my heart. I have been pampering and caring for animals since I was 12 years old. I have my own vehicle so, I am always available to come to your home to care for your pets! In the past I have been a baby sitter, pet sitter, and housekeeper, so I know how to pamper. I also have experience with reptiles and small animals. Any and all animals are welcome! I am available at all times, every day of the week. I am also open to long-term or short-term set schedules. Last minute bookings are always welcome as well! I am very familiar with the Indianapolis and surrounding areas. I currently reside in Kokomo, but am easily able to travel to the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, I do not offer home & boarding, but drops-ins, walks, and housesitting are all very convenient & just as easy!
“Alyson was so good with our 2 Frenchtons! She communicated often with pictures and videos. She followed all of our instructions and the puppies loved her. She made time to play with them and to get to know their personalities. I would definitely ask her to watch them again!”
About: I've been working with dogs off and on since I was 14. I've helped with vet visits, gone on walks, supervised park visits, and more especially as I've grown up and become more independent. I've also helped friends with training new habits and retraining old ones. I live with my elderly parents mowing the lawn and helping bring in the weekly groceries but after that my time is my own. I've found that having something to do outside the home is also rather rewarding (and going to the gym can be expensive.) For the dogs I sit for, I ask their owners to provide food and outline a schedule to maintain routines. I also ask that owners provide a current phone number and preferred veterinarian in case of emergency. I only work with one pet at a time unless there are multiple pets in the same household and they get along with each other.

About: I’m obsessed with fur babies! Let me watch yours so I can be happy 24/7. Former puppy owner do I know how crazy that it. Very experienced as I’ve always loved with animals. Very open availability because my day job allows me to choose my own schedule. And I’m very flexible and willing to accommodate to your needs. Right now I can only do house/pet sitting at your place because I do have roommates. I’m not entirely confident he have someone else’s pets around them for reliability issues.
About: I stand out by providing attentive, in-home care where pets stay comfortable in their own routine and environment. I have experience caring for both young and senior pets, including administering basic care, handling high-energy animals, and being patient with older pets who need a gentler approach. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection—whether that’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on the pets I’m caring for. I’m able to plan my days around walks, feeding times, playtime, and giving each pet the attention they need. Since I’m not gone for long hours, pets aren’t left alone for extended periods, and I can keep a consistent routine that helps them feel comfortable and secure. I truly enjoy having pets as part of my daily life, so making time for them is something I prioritize. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for every pet in my care. I stick closely to each dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. Inside, dogs are treated like part of the family with lots of attention, supervision, and a comfortable space to relax. I make sure to respect your space while keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. Whether it’s walks, potty breaks, feeding, or just spending quality time with them, I focus on making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alto
Brooke was amazing watching my cats during a week-long vacation. My scaredy-cat, who always hides in terror from strangers, warmed up to her right away on the first night!! She made sure they played and got energy out every night, gave them plenty of love and cuddles, and sent me pictures of them daily. She even let me know when their litter boxes were running low so I could order more for her to refill them. She clearly adores animals and takes their care seriously, and I would trust her again in a heartbeat! Thank you!

FAQs for House Sitting - Alto
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 649 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 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.
