“I am so thrilled that we decided to book with Alexus for the first time! Our longtime dog sitter decided to switch career paths, so we were scrambling to find someone new near the holidays. Alexus was so prompt in responding to my request for a meet-and-greet and very enthusiastic in all of her communications with us. She stayed in our home with our two large pups and sent regular updates during our time away. We returned home after 5 days to find two very relaxed dogs and a super tidy home, which I was so grateful for! You can tell she takes great pride in this job and has a ton of integrity. My nerves melted after our first visit and we will absolutely book with her in the future! Thank you for everything, Alexus!”
“Raymond was a great sitter! He kept my old, grouchy dog who has some “particular tendencies” and also took care of my guinea pigs! He was super communicative and sent me lots of great pics, and took great care of our home. Thanks Raymond!!”

“Tara was fantastic! Super communicative and took great care of our boy. Sent us lots of pictures and kept in touch the whole time. She also took great care of our house and left the place spotless. We’d hire her again in a heartbeat and would definitely recommend her to friends or family.”
About: Hi, I'm Conrad, and I'm a Star Sitter with 117+ five-star reviews and years of hands-on pet care experience. I specialize in providing a calm, safe, and personalized experience for every pet in my care. Whether you're looking for boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walking, my goal is always the same: to make your pet feel comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. If you're new to Rover, welcome! Feel free to use my promo code **CONRAJ94323** for **$20 off** your first booking. My boarding is designed especially for small dogs. No large dogs here ever. That means your little one can play, nap, and relax without feeling intimidated or overwhelmed. My home has a fully fenced yard, no children, and a peaceful environment where dogs are treated like family. They're welcome on the couch, the bed, and anywhere they'll feel most at home. You'll receive frequent photos and updates throughout your pet's stay, so you'll always know how they're doing. I also live just half a block from a beautiful neighborhood park, giving dogs a peaceful place to enjoy fresh air, exercise, and one-on-one time outside. I'm home for most of the day, and whenever I step out, my partner is here, so your dog is never left without loving care. I have experience caring for senior dogs, diabetic dogs requiring insulin injections every 12 hours, pets with daily medications, reactive dogs, and dogs with unique routines and care needs. I'm patient, detail-oriented, and committed to making every pet feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. For house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, I know how important consistency is. I carefully follow your pet's routine, administer medications when needed, provide exercise, enrichment, plenty of one-on-one attention, and send regular photo updates so you always know how they're doing. Most days you'll find a few little pups sunbathing in the yard, exploring the house, or curled up beside me while I work. I keep things clean, calm, and low-stress so every stay feels like a little vacation. I know leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, which is why communication is one of my top priorities. You'll always know how your pet is doing through regular updates, photos, and prompt responses. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to the routine they already know, so I take the time to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and individual needs to help them feel comfortable, confident, and at home. I'm also saving for vet school, and every booking helps me move one step closer to that dream. Caring for animals isn't just a job to me—it's the career I'm dedicating my life to. Every booking brings me one step closer to becoming a veterinarian, and I'm incredibly grateful for every family who trusts me with their pets. I care for each one as if they were my own. Future vet in training! Caring for pets is what I love most. I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends and when I’m not home, my partner is, so your pet always has company and care. I provide safe, loving care for small pets only. In my home, they’re welcome to relax on the furniture and the bed so they feel comfortable and cozy. I follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and treat every pet like my own while making sure their safety and happiness always come first.
“Isabella was amazing. She was so king and sweet to both our dogs. She was timely, respectful, and gave us the most detailed updates. We know she was paying close attention as she included niche things our dogs do that we didn’t mention beforehand. We had a great experience with her.”
“Kristina helped us out very last minute and were incredibly grateful for her. We have a 4 month old puppy that is very full of energy and has a hard time settling down at times. Kristina was great with her and made sure she was well taken care of. Me and my boyfriend had to leave for work before she got there, but she did great with the minimal instructions we were able to give before having her come. We will definitely invite Kristina back many times in the future, and highly recommend her!”
“Garrett was awesome and I definitely will be using h from here on out! He is someone you just immediately know you can trust with your home and your pets! Wonderful human and our go to from here on out!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Altura
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!
Shelia is always absolutely wonderful to have watch the pets and house sit. She takes such great care of Rosie and Murphy, they absolutely love all the attention she gives them. It is so nice knowing someone is caring for them so well at home and we don’t have to send them somewhere out of their comfort zone to be boarded. We feel so lucky to have found Shelia!!
Garrett watched my dog, Cooper, on short notice as I headed out of town for an extended weekend. He showed up to the meet and greet that I had to schedule only mere hours before catching my flight, got along well with Coop, and took great care of him throughout the stay. I received pictures and updates at a regular cadence, and Cooper was acting his happy self upon my return. He enjoyed his time spent with Garrett! My home was also left in great shape! I would definitely have Garrett sit in my space with Cooper again.
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.
We are so grateful for Kate’s love and attention with our house and dogs! Kate was patient and kind to them, gave them extra walks and consistently gave them enrichment treats, and sent tons of pictures and detailed updates. And somehow Kate left our home even cleaner than we did after the stay. We would definitely work with Kate again!
Jordyn is maybe the best house/dog/cat sitter we have had. She was very communicative with us before the visit and during the stay. She showed our cats and dog the utmost care and love and was helpful in managing our cat who was having a little anxiety about being separated. I would absolutely book with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for the best care.
Saphir is incredible. From the first meet and greet to the back to back house sitting bookings with our pup, he has been communicative, positively upbeat, ultra caring and supportive of our pup. Not only do we feel she is well cared for but she is also loved which is so important for us. Saphir left the house cleaner than we did for him and we are so grateful to have someone so responsible and respectable in our home.

FAQs for House Sitting - Altura
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Altura on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 8,231 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 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.

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.
