“Marlies sat for our 2 small dogs for 4 nights at our house. Everything went great! Pups were happy. She even picked up dog poop, which wasn't expected but was appreciated! She left the house very clean, which was nice to come home to after a long day of travel delays. We will definitely use her again!”
“Alexa always does a great job! She is excellent at communication and always keeps me updated while we’re away. My dog and very shy cat adore her, and I appreciate how reliable she is!”
“Courtney was a wonderful dog sitter that we would recommend to anyone looking for the best care for their pets. Courtney went above and beyond to make sure our pets were safe and cared for and keeping constant communication throughout the week on how they were doing.”
“What a sweet lady! From the moment she first met Luke I could tell she was going to be great, she went straight to him and started peting and caring for him, what else can I dog mom ask for? Kinsleigh was courteous enough to stay in our house while we had a very late event across town. When she left in the morning, the house was tied up just the way we left, Luke was fed and had already taken his potty break. My baby looked happy and we will definitely ask Kinsleigh to watch Luke again.”
“It had always been a challenge to have reliable and available sitters for Max until we discovered Rover. Louann is great and always keeps us up to date. Thanks again for a great experience, Louann!”
“Sarah was exceptional. I honestly couldn’t be more pleased with the care she provided for our dogs. We have a Dutch Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix and a Chihuahua mix, and she did an amazing job with both of them. She was incredibly thorough, communicative, and responsive throughout the entire stay. She sent some absolutely incredible pictures that gave us peace of mind and showed just how comfortable and happy our dogs were in her care. Unfortunately, our dogs decided to be a little naughty while we were away and made quite a mess. Sarah cleaned up everything without complaint and went above and beyond what I would ever expect from a dog sitter. That level of dedication and care says a lot about the kind of person she is. I can’t say enough good things about her. She treated our dogs like they were her own, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and caring to watch your pets, I highly recommend Sarah. We will absolutely be booking with her again”
“This was my second time using Luis' services and he did not disappoint! My dogs love him (and they are very picky pups) and he does a fantastic job with them! He's my go-to and gives me incredible security knowing my dogs are in good hands when I travel! Thank you, Luis!”
About: I have had pets my whole life. I have been around dogs and cats and have taken care of friends and family's pets. I volunteered at the animal shelter in Mckinney for 2 years. I currently am fostering a friend's two cats while they get back on their feet. I have a corgi that I have had since a puppy and two cats. I currently work Monday-Friday 7:30am to 4:00pm, but I work from home which gives me flexibility to watch your pet. If booking for a house sit, then I need an office set up with at least one monitor to hook my laptop up so that I can work from your home. If you are not able to provide that, then your pet must be okay with being left alone for the hours that I am at work. I can do overnights if needed, but only if booked with advance notice due to me having a family. If a pet comes to my home I have a fenced backyard with a corgi that loves other dogs and cats. I have plenty of dog and cat toys. My cats, also, don't mind other pets.
About: Trusted pet sitter with 5 years’ experience. Services provided include, loving care, daily updates, walks, medication, and overnights. Calm with seniors, playful with puppies and cats. I recently retired, so I have plenty of time to walk, play with and care for your pets. I am available most days with notice. I have two dogs of my own, so I can crate dogs and walk them. My dogs are an 85 lb, chocolate lab named Tripp and a yorkiepoo named Roxy. I loved to cuddle with and love on pups and cats.
About: I'm an old sould who loves dogs and looking to enjoy working with dogs and caring for them! I do have a full-time job, but I truly enjoy meeting other pups and also watching my dog make friends with others. I do my best to care for other dogs as though I care for mine. I do work a full-time job so I try to spend a lot of time with my pup on my days off and go on walks every morning and evening I care very much about the safety of my own pet as well as others. I do have a fenced yard that is small but is still big enough to run around and get out all the zoomies
About: I’ve had various pets in the span of my life including cats,dogs,hamsters,gerbils, guinea pigs,fish, and frogs. I’ve always had a passion for caring for animals, and have experience working in a vet clinic for 3 years, as well as an animal sanctuary. I’ve always enjoyed pet sitting for friends and family, and have cared for blind and diabetic dogs, as well as ones with behavioral issues. One of my cats has separation anxiety, and I know what it’s like to worry and not want to leave your babies alone. I will give them plenty of love and entertain them while you’re away! And as I currently don’t own a dog, I would love nothing more than a furry friend to spend time with! I’m currently working part time and my schedule is very flexible throughout the week! I’m typically available to check in on your pet up to 3 times a day. As a pet owner myself, I understand worrying about them while being away. I’m a very reliable person that would give the upmost care and love for your baby. I would love to send updates and pictures to you often to give you peace of mind! I’m also very willing to do the small household chores like cleaning cages/litter boxes/ any messes they may make.
About: Ever since I was young , I have been around all sorts of animals and taking care of them. I help take care of my senior cocker spaniel. I raised two guinea pigs, a rabbit, dogs, cats, kittens, hamsters, fish, and birds. I went into the professional business as a Pet bather At a dog boarding facility and later started working in a veterinary clinic as a caregiver/nurse. I currently work from home so I have full-time availability to take out dogs as much as needed. Give them proper attention, playtime, outdoor activities and walks. I have a fenced backyard and two friendly dogs that love to play. I know how to follow routines and take them out early in the morning until late at night making sure they are fed happy and out of extra energy.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life! I’ve worked for various horse ranches taking care of the animals and I have my very own puppy at home. Previously, I took care of senior dogs so I consider myself well-rounded with ages. I’m currently a full-time student so my weekly routine is pretty flexible at the moment! Many of my classes are online so that makes things much easier to continue to be flexible. I have 11 acres that my puppy explores and plays on, and we use a personal crate for nap times so he feels like he has his own space.
“Super smooth house sitting experience! My home was in perfect condition when I returned, and most importantly, my fur babies were happy, healthy, and well cared for. There wasn’t a lot of communication throughout the stay, but I was completely fine with that since I was in a no-network zone myself. I chose Tom because he has a hobby ranch and is experienced with animals. During our meet-and-greet, I felt confident that his calm, collected nature made him the right person to care for my pets—and I was absolutely right. Thank you Tom. Hope you had a wonderful stay”

“Amy is really amazing! We’ve experienced horror stories with other pet sitters but you have nothing to worry about with Amy. We could tell she truly loved our pets and would send us pictures on a daily basis. She was on time and quick to reply to us. We will definitely be repeat customers. Highly recommend!”

Such a great experience with Kelsey! From start to finish, the communication was excellent—she checked in regularly, sent photos, and kept us updated so we always knew our dog was happy and cared for. It gave me total peace of mind while we were away. She treated our home respectfully and made sure our dog kept to their normal routine, which I really appreciated. My family and I came back to a relaxed, well-loved pup and a tidy home. We’ll absolutely be booking again for future trips! 🐶💛

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Altoga is $64 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $66 per night. 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 2,427 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Altoga. 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 Altoga 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 Altoga 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 Altoga 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Altoga. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
