About: I am new to the world of pet sitting but I have lived with and taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family pets my whole life! I am excited to be on this journey and looking forward to all the wonderful experiences with your pets! I am currently in between jobs so my time is extremely flexible. I own my own business, but can work your pet easily into my weekly routine! We have no pets of our own at the moment so your fur baby would be the center of my attention! We have no yard, so tons of walkies would be in store! We do have the space to crate your pet if needed, though sharing the couch and bed are fair game as well.
“Viktoriia was absolutely wonderful she sent us pictures and updates on the animals daily. They really seemed to love her too we will definitely be using her again!”
About: We have a very friendly 1.5 year old black lab mix that LOVES to play with other dogs! We are an active family and your pup will get daily walks and tons of play time in our large fenced back yard. We also have a doggie door so the dogs can lounge outside whenever they like. And best of all, there is a great dog park right down the street to run themselves out at daily! Both my husband and I grew up with dogs and your pup will get all of the belly scratches she or he can handle at the Barkow house! We do have two very friendly old cats that just keep to themselves, so any doggie guests will need to be cat friendly too.
“Josie was very kind and respectful of my house. I barely could tell She was even here. She was very responsive and sent me pictures and videos daily while I was gone. My dog seemed happy, we’ll use her again!”
About: I've been caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities since I was a teenager. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family members have trusted me to check in on their pets, provide food and fresh water, take them on walks, and make sure they get plenty of attention and playtime while their owners are away. More recently, I've taken care of friends cats while they are away and have truly enjoyed the different aspects. I understand that every pet has unique needs, whether it's an energetic dog that loves long walks or a cat that prefers a calm and comfortable routine. My goal is to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. I work full-time Tuesday through Saturday, but my schedule is flexible, allowing me to be available most mornings until around 11 AM. I also have Mondays completely free, which gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care needs. As a dog owner myself, caring for animals is already a big part of my daily routine, and I’d love the opportunity to help care for yours! I’ll be providing pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, and I understand the trust that comes with welcoming someone into your personal space. I treat every home with the same care, respect, and attention to detail as I would my own. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are in good hands. My goal is to build that trust through reliable, attentive care and open communication, making sure both you and your pets feel comfortable every step of the way.
“Kaelynn was an amazing house sitter! She did a great job taking care of my dog and two cats. She kept me updated with plenty of pictures and videos. Communication was quick everytime and the house was spotless! I highly recommended her!”
“Tiffany is a fantastic dog sitter. She’s great with my dog and very communicative. I come to a clean house and a happy dog every time. She’s quickly becoming my go to sitter.”
“Kennedy was an absolute joy to work with and our doggos were so happy to be in their care. It was a refreshing experience as we had previously not had a good experience. Absolutely recommend booking with Kennedy! 10/10”
About: Hi my name is Isis and I’ve been a dog walker and sitter for friends and family for the last 7 years and have been able to volunteer at shelters for the last year. Though my home may be on the smaller side we have a big park near where I live and your dog will recieve the exercise they need. I am well aware of the needs and wants of dogs and have toys they can play with to their hearts content. Regardless if your dog has energy for days or is older and prefers to sleep on comfy blankets- me as well as my home can accommodate both types of dogs. I really use 120% of my efforts to make sure your dog is loved, cared for, and safe. I currently work overnight, which gives me plenty of time during the day to play and properly care for animals including my dog Shadow. I do prefer to know at least a day ahead for anyone looking for boarding or dog walking so I can make proper accommodation regarding the owners or pets needs. I currently do live in an apartment however, there is a gorgeous park no more than a 8 min walk from my house that my dog and I love to visit. I have many sensory and enrichment toys for any pet as my dog is a bit indifferent to them.
“We literally would not trust another human with our animals. The peace of mind that comes with knowing Incredible Isabella will be watching over our babies while we're gone is invaluable.”
“Ronald is the perfect dog sitter! He’s very attentive, responsive, and caring. I have been working with him for a couple years now and wouldn’t recommend anyone else.”
“Holly was absolutely amazing with our 2 fur babies. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She’s very attentive and caring to the boys like they were her Own. 5 stars for sure. She took pictures every day and sent them with updates.”
“Anny did a fantastic job looking after my pup. She consistently sent me pictures and updates. I definitely felt comfortable with her taking care of my dog! She also took fantastic care of my home. Would definitely recommend!”
“I needed a dog sitter for a few hours and it was on the fly- she responded quickly and was able to get me in the next day! Offered to do a meet and greet before hand, asked good questions, and was really helpful and attentive to my puppy, Nala. Will be booking with her again in the future for sure :) you can tell she really cares for animals and has experience. Thank you!!!”
“Kelsey was a wonderful petsitter for our sweet girl. She came out early to meet her, communicated throughout our stay and sent lots of pictures. She also took great care of our house. I would highly recommend her and will definitely rebook with her.”
“Nadia was fantastic and I will definitely book her again. She had great communication; sent multiple photos every day and kept us updated on what was going on while we were out of town. She took excellent care of our dogs and our house. Thank you!”
“Sabrina was great with our dogs and kitty while we were away! She was communicative with updates and questions. She shared pictures of our animals as well. She was also good about taking them on walks so they could get some exercise. We will definitely be using Sabrina’s services again!”
“Lisa was the best dogs sitter ever. I have a dog that's agressive upfront, they were patient and willing to let my dog get comfortable. Lisa is one of the few people that my dog is willing to be around now. I had so much peace of mind when being in another state that my baby was being taken care of. Lisa updated us daily on how my dog was doing with funny pictures and witty comments. If I wasn't moving to a new state Lisa would 100000% be our go to sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Morgan is just amazing. Communicating was great back and forth, even when our flight plans had to change. She took excellent care of our doggies and our house. She was here with the dogs for the vast majority of the day, which was important to me. She is my go-to sitter going forward.”

Melanie took amazing care of our pup, Harlow, while we were away! She went above and beyond to make sure Harlow was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Harlow is very attached to us, so it meant so much that Melanie was able to make her feel comfortable and at ease while we were gone. She even took her on a hike! Melanie was also a great communicator and so easy to work with. She sent us lots of updates and photos throughout our stay, which gave us such peace of mind. We came home to a clean house and a very happy dog! We couldn’t recommend Melanie more and would absolutely have her watch Harlow again!
I am new to Rover and was really skeptical to try something like this but Sheila changed my view. She gave us peace of mind while on vacation. She constantly sent an update with pictures and videos. She is very accommodating and flexible. She even cleaned our house. I am so happy because we finally found someone we can trust to take care of our Bruno while we are away. I will absolutely book her again in the future. Thank you, Sheila.
Fantastic care for our Dog and home. She house sat for us over labor day weekend. The home was in good order and out little boy looked happy and well cared for. Provided lots of great pictures and updates everyday. Was able to handle our 65lbs boy that is quite reactive and pulls on the leash. Had no concerns and full piece of mind on our trip. I wouldn't hesitate to book Madison again.
Daniella did an amazing job watching our three dogs in our home for a week! She kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and comfortable. We came home to happy dogs and a clean house. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Sarah is amazing! She takes such good care of all our pets, big and small. She keeps our house just like we're there. She communicates frequently and keeps us appraised of all the happenings. We love her, our pets love her, and we are so happy to have found her!
Candice was absolutely amazing! I was very nervous about using Rover again after a bad experience and she completely changed it for me. She treated my dogs as though they were her own and sent plenty of pictures and videos which I always love to get when I am away. I already decided to rebook with her for another weekend, so I highly recommend her to anyone that needs a dog sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Altura is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $78 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 October 2026, there are 8,103 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Altura. 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 Altura 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 Altura 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 Altura 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
