“Pete is a fantastic communicator, is so professional, and is so good with our pups! He easily handled their excited energy and even came a bit early to check in on them after I told him one of them had an upset stomach. We highly recommend Pete!”
“Addisen was a fantastic pet sitter for my little girl! She provided excellent communication throughout the stay and sent wonderful photos that gave me peace of mind and made my day. I could tell my pup was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely hire Addisen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
About: Hi there! All my life I have been an animal lover and for the last 8 years I have raised my own dog, and taken care of other dogs for families I used to babysit for. I can fit in any lifestyle your pet has, whether they are active or a stay-at-home. I can fit any accommodation as I work from home, love to exercise (so your dog would get plenty of it, if need be), and I'm incredibly flexible and will be normally free to help you more than not. At the same time, I raised my dog since she was a puppy so I do have experience with younger, more energetic dogs and overall I would simply love to help and treat your dogs like family. I hope we can talk soon! I'm super flexible and work from home at the moment so I basically can take care of your dogs whenever you may need it. I will certainly be more free for your dog rather than not! I will care for your pet in your home however you see fit. I do what is asked and can fit any accommodation whether your dog has a lot of needs, or simply needs a walk and some playtime. I'm happy to help however it may be!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have helped care for them from when they were puppies through adulthood. Over the years, I’ve helped with daily walks, feeding, playtime, training reinforcement, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. I’ve also helped care for dogs belonging to family members, which has given me experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Growing up with dogs has taught me how important patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s unique personality is when caring for them. I’m currently a graduate student doing research, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate walks throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so fitting dog walks into my daily routine comes naturally. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, regular exercise, or some extra attention during the day, I’ll work to provide reliable and consistent care. When caring for pets, my priority is always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand every dog has different personalities, energy levels, and routines, so I try to adapt to what works best for them. Whether in your home or out on walks, I focus on keeping pets safe, giving them plenty of attention, and following any instructions or routines you provide to ensure consistency and trust.
About: I’ve always have had a family dog. My family also breed dogs growing up which I helped with. Taking care of their basic needs, walking, feeding, bathing and sometimes helping them birthing their puppies. I’ve house sat for a few years and have experienced a lot of dogs with different behaviors and personalities and can work around anything. I also worked with just one dog as a personal assistant for a year. I have experience giving medication which include oral and injectables. I will treat your pet as my own and give them lots of love. I’m working part time. I have a lot of time on my hands! I go on walks and hikes frequently so I would love a companion! Would love to fill those gaps of time with your pets! I work three days a week for about 8 hours but am flexible and can give potty breaks in between. I know that our pets are our most precious possession and they are family so I treat your pet just as my own and I follow direction very well and make sure your pet isn’t out of their routine! What you say goes!
“Evelina was amazing with my two fur babies!! If I could rate higher then 5 stars most definitely would! She was very sweet and caring. Regular photos and updates! Awesome!!! Will definitely hirer her again!”
“Cassidy is absolutely wonderful! She is reliable, trustworthy and so sweet. She took great care of my cat, brushing her and playing with her, sending cute pictures and updates every day so I could feel she was happy and healthy while I was on vacation. I highly recommend her for pet sitting and will definitely count on her next time I need help with my cat.”
“Connie is so great with our dogs! She is so patient with our little brood of pups and understands how to work with each one individually based on their personality and needs. I highly recommend her!”
“Victoria is responsive and dependable whenever we need her, even in last minute situations. She is great with our dog who requires a bit more care then most and we will absolutely continue to use her!”
About: I have had pets since I was born. I love pet sitting and look forward to spending time with yours! I typically dog sit for my friends, bosses and family. I work full-time but am available to pet sit on the weekends, weeknights after 5 and on most holidays. I can make most schedules work. I only watch your pets in your home. I have 2 kitties and I don’t want to disturb their environment. I’m considerate and trust worthy in your home.
About: I have had a passion for animal care and providing companionship with them since I was a very small child. I have been doing this for 20 years now and there's nothing that I would rather do than spend time with cats and dogs. I work from home so I have a lot of availability to be with your pets. I am single with no children and a huge passion to be with animals. I have a three story town home and I'm surrounded by nature trails and all sorts of paths. I have a dog park right behind me and surrounded by nature trails that the Pet's absolutely love. Also very close to Valmont Dog Park!
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!
About: Hi! My name is Marion. I have always loved dogs, and have one lovely pup of my own, Summit. She is the tan dog in the photos. She is 7 years old, and very dog friendly. She loves to play, but knows boundaries and is happy to cuddle on the couch as well. I have a very large, high-fenced yard that is great for the dogs, and I also walk my dogs 2x daily and take them to the dog park or open space 1-2x per week. I am a runner, so I could gladly run with your dog if you would like. Dogs of all sizes are welcome in my home! I grew up with Great Danes and am very comfortable around big dogs, and my house is very open so there is a lot of room. I look forward to meeting you and your doggos! I am experience with senior and medical pets as well and am comfortable caring for your medically needing fur babies. Behavioral issues or nervous dogs don’t scare me, I have fostered 50+ dogs over the years and am happy to be accommodating. I work from home 90% of the time and am only gone from the home for 2-4 hours at a time to visit my clients. I have a furbo in my home to check in on dogs when I am not at home, and can make my schedule work for someone needing 24/7 observation as long as I have notice. I have multiple spaces in my home if our dogs need to be separated as well.
“Mary was so helpful with dropping in 2x a day to take care of our two cats. It was great to see the check in photos. We appreciated the quick communication when one of our cats potentially had an issue. We would be happy to ask Mary to pet sit again!”
About: I have not had a single day, in my 21 years on this planet, without owning 1 dog and 2+ cats. I know just how important our pets are to us as they are part of our family! Other than taking care of my own pets, I have fostered cats for 10 years with my mom. This includes baby bottle kittens to senior cats. Also, I take care of my neighbors and friends pets! I’m in school but my schedule is very open so I can do any time of the days. Also my weekends are usually completely open! I have done all the basics for animals like feeding, cleaning after and taking them for walks. I have also had to feed my pets medicines if that is necessary for your pets too

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Altona is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $38 per visit. 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 8,337 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Altona. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Altona. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
