Charles is the best! He took great care of my two dogs over a 9 day housesitting stay and came out best friends with both of them, including the shy one that takes time to warm up to new people. He left such thoughtful notes on how they did, made some really great judgement calls on the fly, and is just a great person to have around. I would absolutely book with him again.

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!

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.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I also foster dogs and work closely with a local rescue, which has given me experience helping dogs adjust to new environments, build confidence, and feel safe. I'm comfortable working with reactive dogs and have a solid understanding of basic training, so I can reinforce good habits and provide calm, consistent care during walks and visits. Whether your dog loves long adventures, leisurely strolls, or plenty of playtime and cuddles, I'll tailor my care to their individual needs. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they're in caring, reliable hands. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I work evenings as a bartender, so I'm available most mornings and afternoons for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets. My shifts are typically only a few hours long, which gives me plenty of flexibility, and I also have every other weekend off. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to and prioritize in my schedule. I always tailor my care to each pet's individual routine and needs. If your pet is staying in my home, they'll have the company of my friendly, well-socialized dog. Outdoor time is always supervised, and I can use a lead or crate dogs when appropriate for their safety and comfort. For overnight stays in a client's home, I would need to bring my own dog with me. She is well-trained, respectful, and gets along well with other dogs. I understand that this isn't the right fit for every pet, so I'm always happy to discuss or set up a meet to see whether it would be a good match beforehand. To make sure your pet has the best experience possible, I ask that owners let me know about any treat or food allergies, dietary restrictions, favorite toys, or anything they should avoid. I love following your pet's normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you're away.

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.

Amanda did such a great job taking care of our 3 rescue pitties! We have one puppy and two seniors, each with their own unique traits and needs. Amanda did a phenomenal job at accommodating their needs and keeping them comfy at home while we were away. We appreciate her attentiveness to detail and her communication skills. We will be using her again in the future and highly recommend her for taking care of your babies!

Lee was able to help us last minute over a holiday weekend and still took the time to come meet us and our dog, Blue, beforehand. Lee sent pictures and updates while we were away and took great care of her. Blue seemed happy and comfortable, which let us relax and enjoy our time away knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend Lee!

Here’s a polished version: Harley and Izzy loved her from the moment they met her. She made my time away completely worry free, knowing they were in the best hands. They were both so well cared for, loved. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’m so grateful for everything she did for them.

About: I have experience caring for lots of dogs. I can administer pills, trim nails, and clean wounds. I am able to tell if something is not quite right with your animal and let you know. I like to give puppies lots of play time and potty breaks. I am a part time bookkeeper. I have lots of flexibility and am easily available for any time day or night to care for your animals. When your animal is in my home, I will be with them to make sure they are comfortable. I will take dogs for walks and potty breaks per your directions. I will feed them according to the schedule you provide. Water will always be available.

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 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.

About: I have spent lots of time with elderly dogs and cats, and I love ensuring they have the consistent care they need while their humans are away. I have also worked with young pets who are house or litter box training. I also love fish, rodents, and reptiles! If you have a zoo at home, I may be the sitter for you. -Gwen (they/them) I currently nanny a small human part time, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. Week days I am available before 10:30am and after 3:00pm. Weekends I am free all day. Overnights are always available. I deeply value the trust it takes to have someone in your home taking care of your beloved furry friends. I strive to provide care that keeps pets happy, safe, and satisfied while maintaining a calm and clean environment in the home I am visiting.

About: I have cared for all types of dogs big and small, and have lived, trained, and babysat dogs since i was little! I love animals, and currently have a flexible schedule to be able to care for yours. I treat them as if they are my own, and will love them with every ounce i have! I will show up in any weather, and have no problems giving medication. I have no fears of any size dog, and am usually the one found with the dog rather than people at any gathering ha! I am super careful, super thorough, and very reliable. I currently do work, but with my schedule I have a lot of time available during the day and afternoons, some nights. I am lucky in that my schedule is flexible, and can do daily visits, walks, short/long term, and potentially overnights. I am able to do overnights with your dog at my house, or happy to come to you as well. I have a big fenced in yard, and live across the street from a giant beautiful park with trails and fields to play in. I have friends who live on my street who, if ever needed, are beyond trust worthy if your pup ever needs anything. My boss also lives next door! I also live right near two other parks, and beaches. I am in a quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walks as well. I grew up with dogs my whole life, so my parents are also near by. Im also close to two animal hospitals

FAQs for House Sitting - Alton Bay

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Alton Bay on Rover is $99.82 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 437 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alton Bay. 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 Alton Bay 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 Alton Bay 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 Alton Bay 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alton Bay. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
