House Sitting in Alton

“We were so happy with Kimberly! She stayed at our home for a week and took great care of our dog and cat. She was reliable, attentive, and made us feel at ease while we were away. We’d definitely recommend her!”

Katherine F.

“I never left my dog with anyone except my daughter and only overnight and she’s almost 12. I was anxious to do so and Teri reassured me she’d take good care of her. I got texts throughout my trip with photos. I missed her but was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing she was being taken care. I would recommend Teri (and Molly) and definitely would use them again.”

“Lani was great taking care of our two senior dogs that have special needs. One is blind, requires medications, and wound care; the other one can’t hear. Lani handled it all with ease and professionalism, communicated well, and the dogs seem very comfortable. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi I'm Katie! I've been caring for my personal dogs for over 15 years and have been dog walking / sitting through Rover for over 5 years. I adore dogs and feel happiest when I am outside hiking / walking with dogs. I have also studied and worked as a dog trainer. When your pup stays or walks with me, they'll be having fun and learning something too! We will play, go on fun walks and adventures, and work on basic manners and life skills. I am comfortable caring for all ages, breeds, and sizes. All dogs staying with me will fit into my routine. I wake up early before work to to take care of my dog Phoebe, typically going on hikes in the morning and in the evening we play in my fenced in yard. In the spring/summer months we go for additional hikes/walks in the evening. On the weekends we spend the days hiking, swimming, and exploring new places. Another dog fits easily into my schedule, and I will ensure to give the dogs some solo walks / time with me. I treat any dog staying with me as my own -- the dogs safety and happiness is my top priority. Dogs are fed separately, play is monitored, and your dog will be on a leash unless in a fully fenced in area, or until I establish a solid recall with your dog. I have a fenced in yard and I have a 50 foot long line so your dog can enjoy off leash freedom in a safe environment. Your dog must must must be crate trained if you want to board your dog with me (regardless of dogs age)! For safety reasons, I never leave dogs unattended loose in the house if I am not physically present in my house.

“Selyn was great! We were traveling with our border collie who was nervous in a strange place. We hired Selyn to stay with him while we went to a wedding and let her know he may not do anything but stare at the door until we got back. Selyn was perfect, very calm and waited for him to come to her. She brought toys and a did a great painting activity with him. I highly recommend her!”

“Liz did an amazing job with Gizmo. She entertained her and got her out for fresh air several times during her watch. I would have Liz watch Gizmo again if I’m ever in the area.”

Tina W.

“Faith is so amazing! She has a gift and we are so happy we found her. Nala, our German shepherd took to her right away. And if you know anything about German shepherds, they are very fickle and don't connect with just anybody. I highly recommend Faith to stay at your home or whatever your need is with your puppies.”

Catherine S.

“Thank you Chandler! So glad I found Chandler on Rover.com. My dogs were happy and very content when I arrived home. He was great about sending dog pictures and letting me know how they were doing. On a side note our house looked perfect as well. He is one very neat and clean sitter!! I will be calling Chandler again!! An thank you for the very fair rate for more than one dog! Thank you again from Messi & Chloe!!?”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. With over 7 years of experience in house and pet sitting, along with raising and training my own dogs from puppyhood and caring for newborn kittens, I’ve gained hands-on experience with pets of all needs. I’m attentive, patient, and reliable, treating every pet as if they were my own, whether they love long walks, playtime, or just some extra snuggles. I work part-time in the healthcare industry in Concord, NH, Monday through Thursday for 4–6 hours per day. I’m available all day Friday through Sunday and flexible with drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays. I’m an experienced house sitter for two family friends on an ongoing basis and take privacy, respect, and safety very seriously. I’m very clean and make it a point to leave every home even better than I found it. I treat every home—and every pet—exactly as I would want someone to treat my own.

About: My experience of caring for pets has started since I was a child taking care of family pets and later getting my own animals. In a professional setting I have been a Vet Tech for 9 years and done house sitting and dog walking for 5 years. During this time I have worked with everything from puppies, to diabetic cats. I also have limited experience working with large animals and farm animals. Needless to say working with animals is a passion of mine. At the moment I work full time as a vet tech which can cause me some weird hours. Despite this I would love to spend my free time caring for your pet. Feel free to message me and see if we can work out a time! Caring for pets in your house is completely up to you. I will follow your instructions for how to properly care for your furry family member and do everything in my power to keep them safe. Even though I work full time I would love to take the time before and after work to drop in and check on your kitties. They tend to get my morning attention and evening attention with just work getting in the way during the day. I care for the clients home by making sure that all of your requirements are met. So whatever you need from me to make everything as comfortable as possible I will do my best to accommodate you.

“Kristin is absolutely amazing! From start to finish, she provided outstanding care for our dog, Bruce, and truly went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, safe, and comfortable while we were away. She was extremely professional and reliable—always on time, communicative, and proactive. Kristin sent regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear that Bruce wasn’t just being looked after; he was being loved. When we returned home, Bruce was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. Kristin’s dedication, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. We can’t recommend her highly enough—she’s our go-to from now on!”

“Danny did a great job watching our dog for a week over Christmas. She has separation anxiety so he brought her to his family’s Christmas! We were so thankful she wasn’t home alone during the holidays! Danny was also very responsible watching our house and even cleaned the sheets before he left. He kept us updated with messages and photos. We’ll definitely be using him again in the future!”
