“Alyssa was a great friend to our dog Max. We were able to be away and not worry About home and our pet. We would highly suggest Alyssa to anyone Needing a pet sitter. Very considerate”
“Kelli was able to watch our dog on short notice, which we really appreciated. She did well with our German Shepherd, who can be stand-offish until she gets comfortable, and was patient in helping her adjust. Our dog has more involved care needs than a typical dog due to health conditions, including a specialized feeding routine and daily medications. Kelli was willing to take that on and follow through which gave us peace of mind knowing she was attentive to those details. We also appreciated how she handled an unexpected situation during a power outage. The resulting beeping in the house caused stress for Callie, and Kelli responded quickly by comforting her and reaching out right away for guidance on how to resolve it. However, we found communication to be inconsistent. We typically expect daily updates and photos from our sitters, but during this week-long stay, we only received photos twice and often had to initiate contact ourselves for updates. For pet owners who value proactive communication, this is an important consideration. While Kelli is very capable with complex care, consistent daily check-ins would have greatly improved our experience.”
“Becki did a great job caring for our two dogs. She is a great communicator and sent photos each day! She left our home cleaner than she found it. We plan to use Becki again!”
“Jessica was so great with our ladies. She was very good at keeping me posted on how everyone was doing with photos and updates! Our house was just as we left it when we arrived back home, and pets seem very happy! Thank you Jessica! We’ll definitely be working with you again.”
“Claire has been a wonderful house sitter. She has been very communicative and sends me pictures of the fur babies everyday I sure feel better with her background and experience leaving my young and older pups with her and I look forward to future trips knowing my doggos will be well taken care of. She even helps around the house and is respectful and kind. She’s amazing 🤩”
About: I had a hamster, mice, and fish. I grew up on a farm surrounded by cats and a lovely farm dog. I had a pet dog who sadly passed last year, but he was my everything for the 5 years I had him. I am tired of working in the fast food industry so I would love the opportunity to leave and take care of animals full time. Anything and everything they need! I will take them for long walks, play with them, give them the extra love! They're family and deserve the best care they can get. <3
“Sierra was amazing! She took care of my 3 dogs and 2 cats above and beyond. She was also very good with communication if anything was happening or just for updates as well.”
“Skyler did a great job watching our dogs and provided us with photos of the pups throughout the days we were gone which gives you a great piece of mind when vacationing. Would definitely recommend and will book again!”
“We had a great experience with Eden taking care of our two dogs. One of our dogs can take a little bit to warm up to strangers and she took the time to make sure she felt comfortable. Based on their behavior when we came home, it was obvious they had a great time with her, they acted only mildly happy to see us. That's usually a sign that they were well cared for. Would definitely recommend Eden!”
“MacKenzie was great, staying the night with our dog Maizie and cat Woody. We had to cut our trip short and she was very understanding. You can tell she loves animals and that's the #1 thing we would look for.”
About: My family has always had at least one dog throughout my whole lifetime so I had a lot of experience with dogs and exposure to different breeds. Since I moved to college I have dog sat for a couple of different families, so I know how to meet the around the clock needs of dogs. I enjoy going for walks and I enjoy having a companion, so I would love to walk or play with your dogs! I have most availability early mornings and evenings as well as weekends! I work from home usually once a week so feel free to message me even if you have a midday need one day! I enjoy going on daily walks and would love to take your dog with me! I am open to watching your pets overnight, but at this point in time I would be willing to watch your dog in your home! I am also willing to come let your pups out, take them for walks, and even just play with them.
“Uyen was a life saver. She committed to two weeks of house sitting on very short notice. I was also sick and could not do a meet and greet until a few days before I was to leave. Uyen worked magic on my shy sometimes grumpy kitties. She definitely charmed them and sent picture updates. She kept the house in good order and even filled the bird feeders. I would definitely recommend Uyen.”
About: I have had my dog for 7 years now, and we have adopted our cat last year. I have also grown up with animals all my life and have helped friends and family take care of their animals! I am a teacher, so I have availability during the weekday in the summer. I am also available during the school year, but that is only on the weekends or evenings I enjoy taking my dog on walks around their neighborhoods so I have plenty of experience with dogs on leashes. I also love playing with animals inside or outside.
“We had an excellent experience with Abigail and would absolutely book again. From the start, communication was clear, proactive, and professional, which made coordinating everything seamless. Our dogs were incredibly well cared for—happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable the entire time we were away. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was obvious our sitter paid close attention to routines, preferences, and small details that make a big difference. Our home was also left in great condition—clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. That level of respect and care doesn’t go unnoticed. Overall, this was a stress-free, reliable experience. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and easy to work with, I highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve been taking care of friends and family dogs since I was around 16. I love both cats and dogs and I’m great with them. I am available pretty much everyday depending on time and what day. My schedule is pretty open and flexible so we can always work something out. I am open to driving to your house to pet sit. I am moving soon at the end of this year so I will be more open to pet sitting at my place once that is finalized.
About: I have 5+ years of experience in pet sitting, walking, and boarding services. The dogs I have cared for have ranged from puppy to senior ages. I do have one dog at home, who is great around other dogs and will not be an issue if you board with me. I have space in my home for up to two dogs plus my own if you are considering boarding. I am also willing to overnight stay. Additionally, I am currently enrolled for college at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, AZ in the pre-veterinary medicine program. I will be available for the months of May through mid August on almost all weekends and most holidays! I am working full time during the week at Camp Bow Wow, so my boarding services will only be available on the weekends, but I am available during the week for evening walks, pet sitting, or overnight stays depending on the situation. I have one dog at home that will be very willing to play all day and go on walks with your dog. Additionally, there is enough space in the house to crate up to two dogs if needed. However, crates will have to be provided. I have a mid sized yard that does not have a physical fence.
About: I often joke that I like animals more than people and with that being said, I can promise that I will love on your furbaby as if they were my own. My Chihuahua-Jack Russell recently crossed over the rainbow bridge and my house has been too quiet. This opportunity with Rover will bring some joy back to my life, hopefully with a side of snuggles. I’ve been watching cats & dogs since I was a pre-teen. I grew up in a house with 2 cats, as well. I work Monday-Friday, but I have plenty of time on the weekends to walk and play with your dog. I am open to house-sitting at your residence if that is better for the animals. I'm available 24/7 for boarding at my house, as long as your pup is crate-trained and okay being home alone for 6-8 hours as I do work full time Monday-Friday. Same hours go for housesitting at the pet's home. I have lots of space to roam in the house. Couch and bed are free spaces. If your pet prefers to be crated at night, I am happy to do so. At your house, I am happy to follow all rules set in place.

FAQs for House Sitting - Alto
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 918 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.

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.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
