“I had a great experience with our McKenzie! She dropped in to spend time with my puppy Barrett, and it was clear right away how comfortable and natural she is with dogs. She gave my pup plenty of attention, playtime, and care, which made a big difference in keeping him happy and stimulated while we were away. She was reliable and communicative! The best Rover experience I’ve had. I had peace of mind knowing Barrett was in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her routinely again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and great with dogs.”

“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! ❤️”

“Aaron was fantastic! He was prompt, reliable, and took the time to come by beforehand to meet my dogs and go over their routine. While I was away, he spent quality time with my two fur babies and even sent me photos during his visits, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was reassuring to know they were so well cared for while I was out of town. I highly recommend Aaron and will definitely be booking him again!”

About: I have years of experience caring for animals, from dogs to cats & rabbits. Pet care is an area that I am thrilled to be now pursuing on a higher level. Animals have captured my heart for years, and this is something that will not change now or in the future. I am someone who pays attention to details and always has animal welfare at the forefront of my mind. I do not doubt that I am someone to be trusted with your animals. I look forward to potentially working with you! I am fortunate in that I have a fairly flexible routine currently. This allows for pet care jobs and responsibilities to be easier to take on. I am happy to watch your animals in your home if all checks out. What might it look like? I could stop by once or twice a day (‘depending) to make sure your pet(s) are well and everything is running smoothly. For example, I just wrapped up pet sitting for someone I know in the area & she gave me a spare key for her place. This is just what made sense & what she was comfortable with at the time. She left some realistic instructions for me & all went well. It was a win-win situation. You just need help with dog walking? I am happy to consider that as well!

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. I grew up helping my great-grandma on her farm with training Border Collies, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, communication, and building trust with dogs. I’ve also trained my own service dog and currently share my home with three dogs, including a puppy. In addition to my dogs, I care for a special-needs cat, two rabbits, 15 rats, and a betta fish. Caring for animals with different personalities, ages, and needs has taught me to be attentive, adaptable, and respectful of each animal as an individual. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a slower-paced stroll, extra patience, or simply some companionship, I’ll take the time to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved pet, and I’ll treat your furry family member with the same care and attention I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to get to know you and your pet! I currently work Monday through Friday from 8 AM–5 PM, so my weekday availability is primarily before or after work, depending on the service and location. I have full availability on weekends and can be flexible with scheduling. I’m currently taking on extra work to help save for my dog’s upcoming surgery, so I’m excited to provide dependable, caring service while working toward an important goal for my family. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs, including training my own service dog and raising a puppy. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routines, triggers, boundaries, and individual needs. I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding walks, feeding, medications, access to your home, and any special care your pet requires. I’m also comfortable caring for animals with different needs, thanks to my experience with my own dogs, a special-needs cat, rabbits, rats, and fish. I believe good communication is an important part of pet care. I’ll keep you informed about how your pet is doing and will reach out promptly if I notice anything unusual or have concerns.

About: We’ve had a family puppy for as long as I can remember! My brother and I do lots of volunteering between nearby shelters and we also do watch other dogs. My aunt has two German Shepards and a pit-bull that I watch quite often so I have experience with bigger dogs as well. I’m currently working a full time job from 8:30-4:30 PM, M-F. I can watch a dog any day during the week and or overnight as long as they can go that long without potty breaks! If the house is nearby I can go on my lunches to let the pets out :) We currently have an electric fence and colar for our puppy and are very cautious any time letting him out. I will give the same care for your puppy any time I am around it!

About: I’ve had a deep connection with animals for as long as I can remember. I’m constantly around fur babies and fully commit to their care. I am comfortable around all dogs, big or small, always more than willing to learn how to cater to your specific animal! When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will give my undivided attention and love. I am dedicated and follow instructions extremely well, going above and beyond to complete tasks. I grew up with a Newfoundland so I am no stranger to misjudged breeds! I’m currently self employed with a very flexible weekly schedule, so plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I am open to drop ins and house sitting any day of the week, although I would still stop at home daily to nurture my cat Aurora and the ferals I feed. 30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup much needed exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation. 30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks/litter refresh, feeding, playtime, and of course snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away. My Basic House-Sitting service includes staying overnight with your fur baby so they have company and comfort in their own home, Along with daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks/litter refresh, meals, playtime, and cuddles.

About: Hi! I’m Kayla! I have been doing dog sitting/drop ins for 3 years now. I own my own LLC. I have 2 dogs, 4 cats & chickens. I’m a stay at home mom, so my availability is very open. I am here to help with vacations, quick stops, a good afternoon walk, a potty break or some food &/or medication.

It lets my days be flexible for last minute changes. We have an acre of land. We are in the process of building a fence, so right now we use leads to let the dogs explore and have some fun.

About: I have been a Pack Leader at The Indoor Dog Park and Daycare since March of this year, I am now looking for a more flexible way to work with animals. I am pursuing a Bachelor’s of Biology in hopes of working with animals someday. I have lots handling experience, as well as a deep understanding of animal behavior. Take a peek at my gallery to see some of my favorite pups!! Below are some skills I practiced at The Pack: -Supervised large play groups of 25+ dogs simultaneously, ensuring safe social interactions and preventing aggressive behaviors. -Monitored canine body language and group dynamics to intervene early and de-escalate potential scuffles or stress-related issues. -Implemented safety protocols and facility rules that maintained a 100% injury-free play environment across shifts. -Observed and recorded daily changes in animal appetite, behavior, and physical health, reporting concerns promptly to management and communicating daily report cards and behavioral updates to pet owners, building strong customer loyalty and trust. -Controlled intake and release procedures, verifying owner identification and vaccination records for every dog. -Maintained strict sanitation and hygiene standards by regularly disinfecting play yards, kennels, and shared equipment. My schedule is yet to be fully set, so just ask! Anytime might work! I currently am free for a good period of time most days. I am not currently offering pet sitting at my home as it is an apartment and I don’t like confining dogs to such a small, unknown space. In the future I am hoping to have a house in the country with a large yard for my animals!

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.

About: I may be new to Rover, but I am not new to caring for others. I am a lifelong dog owner and currently have a dog of my own, so I understand daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and providing a safe, loving environment. I am also a parent and work in childcare, which has given me extensive experience with responsibility, patience, and following specific instructions. I’m comfortable sticking to routines, recognizing needs, and providing attentive care. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with a loved one. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I give my own family, and I’m happy to follow any instructions to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, especially long-term and weekend care. I’m available Thursday nights through Sundays, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care without rushing or overbooking. As a dog mom, I understand the importance of routines, exercise, feeding schedules, and recognizing pets’ needs. I’m used to planning my days around caregiving and making sure everyone feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a large yard for supervised outdoor time. Since it’s not fenced, dogs are always closely monitored and leashed as needed. I have a friendly dog who enjoys company, and two children who love animals and are taught to be gentle and respectful. Pets are never left unattended. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority.

“Where do I begin other than saying 5-stars off the bat! This was our first time leaving our cat and using Rover and Alexandra was absolutely phenomenal. She was extremely courteous, kind and punctual and super communicative from the initial interview and meeting throughout the entire time we were away. She played, fed and took care of all of our cats needs, and the photos she sent were very welcomed so we could see our cat while away. We couldn’t recommend Alexandra enough and we will 110% be using her services again if she is available. Thank you again!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and have a soft spot for them. I have a four year old very high energy, playful but docile GSP. I will walk, watch, feed and create a stimulating environment for them! I work from home and have flexibility during the week to help out. I am also open most weekends for dog sitting or boarding . I will make sure pets are handled with love and care and will treat them as if they were my own. This might mean lots of belly rubs, snuggles and treats. My home has a fenced backyard and many dog beds and toys. I am happy to stay with your dog at his or her home if that is most comfortable for them and if my schedule allows.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Alto

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Alto on Rover is $33.3 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,454 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Alto. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Alto stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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 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.
