“Connie did a great job looking after our dog Tilda and our rabbit Gizmo while we were out of town. I was extremely anxious with this being the first time leaving Tilda since adopting her with a stranger, but Connie handled it very well and was very communicative with me and listening to our wishes. Thanks Connie for taking such great care of our babies!”

I currently am a full time student at CU Boulder, and I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule! Please feel free to reach out, I would love to take care of your pups!

“Laura was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond for my two very high energy dogs. On top of needing lots of daily exercise, both were on medications which were all given on time. I received multiple updates throughout the day which allowed me to enjoy my trip knowing my dogs were being taken care of. My place was super clean when I got back too and all the sheets and towels had been washed. I cannot say enough good things about her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for house sitting in the area.”

About: Animals have always been my biggest passion, and caring for them brings immense joy to my life. With over a year of hands-on experience in pet sitting, I am dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your furry family members. I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. Whether it's playtime, long walks, or just cozy cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am looking forward to dedicating myself even more to this work and building wonderful connections with both pets and their owners! I work during the day, but my schedule allows me to seamlessly fit pet care into my mornings, evenings, and weekends. I am also available for house sitting, meaning I can stay right at your home to keep your pets company and maintain their routine while you are away. Whether it is morning/evening walks, feeding times, or overnight stays, I ensure your pets receive consistent attention and care. Safety, cleanliness, and trust are my absolute top priorities. Coming from a background in childcare as a nanny, I am highly vigilant, responsible, and observant. I am also a very meticulous person when it comes to cleanliness and organization, meaning your pet will always be in a hygienic, hazard-free, and safe environment. I always ensure that doors and gates are secure, dangerous items are out of reach, and pets are closely supervised both indoors and during walks. You can trust that I will protect and care for your furry family member just as carefully as I would a child.

“Alexis was AMAZING!!! I would have her come back and watch our boys in a heartbeat! ❤️ She took such incredible care of them for the entire 2 weeks we were away, and it was so obvious how happy, loved, and well cared for they were when we got home. Alexis checked in with me every single day and sent photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our dogs. We even had an unfortunate pipe flood issue at the house while we were gone, and Alexis handled the whole situation so graciously and calmly. She cleaned everything up and dealt with the unexpected mess without hesitation, which was incredibly appreciated and honestly went WAY beyond what we ever could have expected from anyone. Alexis is responsible, kind, communicative, trustworthy, and clearly has so much love for animals. Our boys absolutely adored her, and knowing they were in such good hands made being away for two weeks so much easier. We will 100% be booking Alexis again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pets and home. 10/10 doesn’t even begin to cover it! 🐾❤️”

About: I care for each pet like it’s my own, and help correct behavioral issues with kindness and compassion. Dogs are social creatures, and having my own pet during the care of yours helps with blind spots that we may have as pet parents. I guarantee your dog will want to come back. I do consulting work, so I set my own schedule and hours. I prefer spending time with the dogs than finance (my profession) and will always make time for my favorite pets! I have my own dog, Alfie, so your pet will always have a big brother to guide them through the neighborhood on walks and in the dog park. I give dogs as much independence as possible, to help ensure your dog will have freedom to run and expend energy. Follow Ami’s Petsitting Club on instagram to see our daily activities! I post pictures daily while your pet is staying with me.

About: I have loved taking care of pets since I was a child. I have pet sat for cats and dogs and it is always so much fun being around some sweet animals. My dog at home LOVES other dogs but at this time it would not be wise to get her a brother or sister because she has a human brother who is 9 months old! So, I have decided to start caring for other people’s pets because I don’t have to pay for other people’s pets vet bills 😅 If your dog is friendly and can be around the family.. GREAT if not, you can book something at your house and I am always open to drop ins. We can always make it work! I am currently working VERY part time and someone is home all day every day of the week. I have a wonderful partner and we have a baby and are trying to make some extra cash by opening our home to some pups that need some attention/a place to call home until their owners get back. At my home I live with my partner, my dog and my infant son so any friendly and well trained dogs are welcome to stay with us! At your home on certain days I CAN come to do drop ins but at least my son will need to tag along if it is more than just a morning and evening visit.

About: Hello and thank you for your time and consideration. I recently sold my home in VT, US and I'm setting out on adventures and travels. I am a traveling pet sitter. I've recently completed some very successful pet sits in Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York, Colorado and the UK. I enjoy matching my love of traveling with my love of animals, and enjoy meeting new friends as well. My children live in CO, so I always find myself in the Boulder area often. I love animals and enjoy the comfort they bring along with those special moments. I am a retired professional with years of experience in my profession - I was a public school teacher for over 30+ years. I am a never smoker. I only tell you this so that you get a sense that I am a responsible individual with life experience in taking care of a home, as well as taking care of beloved pets. I used to have a black lab named Mollie who passed away and I still carry her dog tags on my key chain to this day (growing up, we also had several shetland ponies). Mollie was a very special puppy. As a loving pet owner I'm sure you understand and I take my responsibilities very seriously. I would welcome to care for them according to your instructions. I have had many experiences caring for pets of all ages, including those very active youngin's, those with a little more years under their belt, and those in need of medical attention . Walks, etc. would be according to your direction and their energy levels. Thank you again for considering me, and I hope that you find me favorable, and if you have any questions, I'd be more than willing to set up a time to speak. Please be sure to check out my reviews, and I can furnish more reviews that I have received outside this app. I am proud of the care that I provide to my pet friends, as well as the lovely homes entrusted in my care. Sam My daily/weekly/monthly schedule is pretty flexible. I am a traveling pet sitter, so my time is pretty much dictated by my location, availability and my clients. According to my experiences, clients are very specific about the care they would like to have for their family pet(s). Usually they leave me detailed instructions highlighting feeding schedules, walking instructions, play likes/dislikes, medication schedules, and any other instructions needed for me to provide the best care possible for their specific pet's needs.

About: I have had pets ever since I can remember: dogs, cats, and fish. I have experience with bigger dogs and puppies. I own a beta fish as well, and have had them on and off for about 8 years. I am in school right now, I attend the University of Colorado Boulder, so I am busy from 12:30-4:30 every weekday. On weekends, I am free all day Saturday and Sunday. In my home, we have dog bowls and treats available, as well as fresh water. We also have a park next to our house for walks. In the clients home, I will be incredibly respectful of your space and be sure that I know where everything is located for the animals so I know they can get the best care while their person is away!

FAQs for House Sitting - Altona

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Altona is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $63 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 5,388 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Altona. 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 Altona 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 Altona 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 Altona 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 Altona. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
