“Emily was wonderful with Gimli! She sent me photos Through the visit and assured me he was doing well (he’s a 10 week old puppy and I had just gone back to work so it was great to have all the communication!)”
“Kelley was absolutely wonderful! She came over beforehand to meet Koda, which gave me such peace of mind. She was incredibly reliable and kept me updated on when she would arrive and how each drop-in visit went. She spent time playing with Koda and sent me the sweetest pictures, which I loved receiving! She even went above and beyond by bringing in an Amazon package that had been delivered while I was away. I truly appreciated how thoughtful and dependable she was. I highly recommend Kelley and will definitely be using her again in the future! ❤️”
About: With a flexible remote work schedule that lets me work from home every Monday and Friday, your pet will enjoy a perfect balance of companionship and structured care while you are out of town. I grew up with dogs, cats, and bunnies, and I currently have two adopted cats of my own, Ruby and Jasper. Having been professionally house sitting and dog walking since middle school, I am highly adaptable and am comfortable caring for nervous or reactive animals. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and pace. Your pet’s happiness, emotional comfort, and routine always come first, ensuring they feel completely safe, loved, and at ease while you are away. My hybrid work schedule offers the perfect balance of structure and dedicated companionship for your pet. I work from home every Monday and Friday, meaning your pup or cat will have a human buddy around for extra daytime love, quick potty breaks, and mid-day attention. On days I am away at the office, I maintain a highly reliable, consistent routine for morning, evening, and weekend care. Because my job is incredibly flexible, I easily adapt my daily calendar to mirror your pet's normal routine, ensuring they never miss a feeding, walk, or medication time while you are out of town. Growing up with dogs, cats, and bunnies taught me that a safe environment is the foundation of a happy pet. Today, I share my home with my two adopted cats, Ruby and Jasper, so I strictly maintain a pet-proofed, low-stress space. Having walked dogs and house sat since middle school, I am familiar with nervous or reactive animals. I know how to read subtle body language, manage triggers on walks, and give anxious pets the patient, gentle space they need to feel secure. Your pet's physical safety and emotional comfort always come first, and I provide regular text and photo updates so you can enjoy complete peace of mind.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Alto is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $25 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,439 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Alto. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alto. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
