About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I currently have two German Shepherds that I’ve raised and trained since they were puppies, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love that goes into caring for dogs. I also have a horse that I’ve had the pleasure of caring for for the past 23 years, and I’ve spent most of my life working in a barn, giving me experience with animals of all sizes and personalities. Along the way, I’ve also had the joy of caring for cats, too! Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just wants some extra attention and cuddles, I’ll care for them like they’re one of my own. I currently work from home full time as a short term disability claims manager and have a flexible schedule. I take my own personal dogs on walks every morning I live on 5 acres and have gps collars for my dogs so I know where they are all the time, normally I leave them outside to play while I am working and I keep an eye on them.

About: Dog lover here! Providing dependable, active, and affectionate care. From puppy energy to easygoing senior strolls, I respect your dog’s specific habits, commands, and feeding schedules. I put safety safety first on every walk, lots of positive attention, and keep you updated with fun pictures and visit summaries while you're away. I have a reliable, consistent routine that gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care on evenings, weekends, and early mornings. Since I keep my service radius close to home, I can easily fit in drop-ins, feedings, walks, and playtime without feeling rushed. I make visiting and caring for your animals a dedicated part of my day! I live in Barnstead, but work in Portsmouth so don't me afraid to message me if you appear outside of my radius. Safety and clear communication are my top priorities. When visiting your home, I strictly follow all feeding, medication, leash and other guidelines to keep your pet safe and comfy. I ensure entryways, doors, and gates remain secure at all times, double-check that food and hazardous items are out of reach, and treat your home with respect. During every visit, I provide thorough updates with photos so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well-cared for.

Amanda was so gracious to be able to take on our last-minute cat sitting when we had an out-of-town funeral to attend. She was polite, checked in often and sent AWESOME photos of our cats! I really didn’t worry a bit, and will definitely seek her services again.

About: I am a full-time working professional. For the past three years, I have fostered dogs with diverse personalities in my free time. I primarily have experience with Shiba Inu's; they can often have aloof and stubborn personalities. I also have an experience having a rescue cat since she was 5 months old. I am a full-time professional who works 8:00AM to 5:30PM. I will have availability after work and on the weekends; however, it could change based on other commitments. I have a cat who has free range of the home. However, any time there is another animal in my residence, they will be separated.

Jessica was a fantastic sitter for Woody during my week long vacation. I felt very comfortable with her in charge and Woody really liked her as well. She did everything that was asked of her and she often went above and beyond. She sent pictures and kept up with my trip and even left the lights on for me when I was on my way home. I would certainly book Jessica again and highly recommend her.

About: I have been taking care of neighbor’s and friends’ dogs during vacations since I was 14. This includes walking, feeding, and playing with them on a set or flexible schedule. I work part-time during weekdays and the majority of the weekend. I have time to manage work and taking care of dogs on my days off. I have always loved animals and wanted to take care of them since I was a kid. I have a very friendly and old dog of my own, who I’ve taken care of constantly, especially through my gap year.

About: I am a very detail oriented individual who has loved raised animals since I was a child. I have experience with different types of dogs and personalities including rescues and spicy personalities. I myself own 3 dogs. 2 rescues and a French Bulldog. I consider myself someone who can easily gain trust with nervous or territorial dogs. I also have a lot of experience cats as well. I really like to listen to what the animal requires to give the best care for your fur babies. Currently, I work a full-time job 7-3:30pm. I am looking to do nights and weekends with the goal of going full-time. Currently weekends and last minute walks during the weekdays after 4:00 will work best. First and foremost my animals are my babies and I feel the same way about yours! I like to make sure that anyone whose animal I care for feels comfortable and all questions have been asked prior to care. If possible, I like to meet the dogs and owners ahead of time which allows the owners to see our interactions together to make sure it is a great fit. I will send photos and updates while giving reassurance to those who worry when not at home. My animals are my babies and yours will be too during care.

This was my first time using Rover and I was really nervous to try it. We have a senior dog that doesn’t travel well and we usually have people come stay or check in on him, but none of them could do it. I searched Rover for people who had good reviews and repeat customers. Leilani agreed to help last minute and it was much appreciated. She checked on our senior guy twice while we were gone overnight, took care of his diaper, and cleaned up any messes he had. She also fed him. She sent pictures and communicated any problems. It looks like he didn’t want to get out of bed so she brought his food to him for one of the feedings, which was a super sweet way to make sure he got food. We would hire her again.

About: I have spent lots of time with a family dog and have been a sitter for several breeds over the years, often through friends and family. I am always over the moon to meet and spoil (to the owners comfort) a new furry freind! I am currently a graduate student which allows me the flexibility to schedule quality walks and play time with your pups! I typically work from home 50% of the work week, so getting out for a walk in between computational work is a win win! As a dog walker I will make sure your pup has a positive high quality walking experience. If I am sitting, I will ensure all fur babies get the level attention and care they need to feel safe and happy.

About: I have owned animals all my life and have plenty of enrichment activities- snuffle matts, snuffle balls, puzzle toys, regular toys, and a big yard to play in! I love animals and this is currently a full time job for me being a pet sitter and owner. I make my dog my life and we go for walks and adventures daily. I make a schedule for my own dog, which includes puzzle toys for breakfast, an afternoon walk or adventure, snuffle mats and balls for later, and plenty of cuddles throughout the day!

About: My love for animals started at a really young age and it only grew from there. I grew up with all different breeds from shitzus to Mastiffs each hold a special place in my heart. At 16 I started volunteering at a rescue. There I tended and cared for all different animals from horses and goats to cats and dogs. I’ve cared for many animals at all different life stages from newborn puppies, kittens, and kids to senior pets all the way up until their last day. I have 8 years experience not only with rescue dogs but one with high anxiety, as I even have one of my own. I am currently a Veterinay assistant and work about 40 hours a week. I have 5 years worth of veterinary knowledge and can meet your pet where they are at. I currently have 3 dogs and 1 cat all at different life stages. My pets are my world and I will do anything for them. I will care for your pet as I would my own. I will ensure their safety, health and wellbeing while giving them all the love they need and deserve. Trying to stray away from my full time job and make this my full time job. Caring for pets is my top priority and brings me joy. My pets are my world and mean everything to me. I will do anything for them. When I am taking care do your pet I will treat them as my own and give them nothing but outstanding care.

About: I have taken care of pets, including dogs, cats and farm animals, since I was a small child. I currently have two active dogs, one of which has epilepsy and requires multiple daily meds, therefore I have a great deal of experience keeping up with medication schedules and administering appropriate meds. I trained one of my own dogs to be a therapy dog and we are a current therapy team. My husband and I travel with our dogs whenever we can, but sometimes it's not possible to take them. Because of this I easily understand the importance of finding pet care givers who we can trust and rely on. I am a responsible, retired professional looking to help give others that peace of mind. I retired from my full time career a year ago and in general have flexibility to pet sit at any time. My husband takes care of our own pets when I am away. I will manage care for your pets according to your wishes, including walking, playing, giving medications, crating, etc. I will give them kisses and cuddles if they allow it and will enjoy getting to know them and their personalities.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Alton on Rover is $19.3 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 764 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Alton. 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 Alton 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 Alton. On Rover:

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
