“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend Viktoriia! Viktoriia did an amazing job caring for my home and animals. She kept everything clean, communicated clearly, and treated my pets with real attention and kindness—not just basic care. It gave me total peace of mind knowing everything was in good hands. I’ll absolutely be using her again and would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and trustworthy.”
“Thank you Chelsea for another great stay with Olive! We feel so much better being away with someone we can trust taking care of her (and giving her all the snuggles :)) and we loved getting photos and updates throughout the weekend as well.”
“Brooke was great with my dog, Rafa! She met Rafa for the meet & greet a few days before the stay and I could tell she was going to be perfect! She sent photos during my time away and kept me updated on how everything was going. I would definitely recommend Brooke.”
“Christine always takes the best care of our pups and is conscientious to make sure all the details are covered. We don’t worry at all when she is sitting with our dogs!!!”
“Jaxon was an outstanding house/pet sitter. He followed instructions exactly and I think the dogs miss him. He left the house clean and tidy and we will definitely be using his services again in the future.”
“Tiffany did great with my dog Cali while I was away this week! She gave her plenty of exercise which as a 3 year old lab, Cali still needs. I’m totally comfortable leaving Cali with her any time!”
“Raymond did a great job. We have a scared/skittish dog who he was very patient with. Our house was left clean and he walked our dogs individually a couple times a day! Would definitely recommend him.”
“Corey was absolutely amazing while we were away on vacation! She took such great care of Brutus, our sweet old bulldog, and Pepper, our cat, and gave us complete peace of mind the entire time. It was so clear our pets were happy, comfortable, and well loved in her care. She kept the house tidy and organized, and we really appreciated all of the photo updates she sent throughout the trip. Seeing Brutus and Pepper relaxed and cared for made it so much easier to enjoy our vacation without worrying. Corey is reliable, thoughtful, communicative, and genuinely caring with animals. We came home to happy pets and a clean home, which says everything. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Sara and Erin are great and took excellent care of my two dogs. They were patient and understanding with each dogs’ needs. I felt comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands. Highly recommend and I’ll definitely use them again!”
“Stephany was great!! I will be using her for all of my needs for diesel in the future. She communicated even through my anxiety & made sure I knew she was there with my baby & even sent pictures!!”
“Alexus was AMAZING with our girl Bea, and she went above and beyond in the house too - felt no anxiety leaving Bea, and Bea adored Alexus. She sent great pics and kept us updated throughout our trip. will definitely be using her again:)”
“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: We have both been around dogs our entire lives. Since both of us have graduated, we have much more time to dedicate to taking care of others dogs until we are able to get one for ourselves. We both worked with training our dogs at home and are both experts and spoiling dogs with affection. We also have lots of experience caring for dogs with separation anxiety and traumatisms. We have loved boarding on Rover, we are counting down the days until we can afford our own doggo, and we cannot wait to give your pup their own vacation! ***Ziggy changed their name from Ella several years ago and wasn’t able to update it on rover, if you get confused reading the reviews, Ziggy is the same person as Ella Eli works a couple part time jobs with wonky hours and I (Ella) work a couple gigs from home. We are rarely both gone, only to run errands or go see a show, so the doggies won’t be alone very long! I love having pups around to get me out of the house and walking during the day We have a very cozy home that we love very much. There's lots of sunshine for post play time naps and plenty of space for them to be comfortable while we work at home.
“Sydnee was amazing!! She was asked to help us out last second and took great care of the dogs, cats, and house! 12/10 would recommend; we're excited to rebook her the next time we leave town. She sent daily updates, pictures, and definitely treated our pets like they were her own.”
“Jenny did a great job watching our little man Rudy! Was responsive, sent plenty of updates, and left our apartment in great condition after her stay. Would love to have her watch Rudy again!”
“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.”
“Chloe was nothing short of PHENOMENAL! She was so diligent with providing updates with plenty of photos and she took the absolute best care of my senior baby. It's so hard to feel good when leaving my aging boy, but Chloe truly went above and beyond when it came to his needs. He was so happy in all the photos and was so content when I returned. Also, the house was in great condition (pretty much as I had left it) which was so sweet to return to after a longer time away! I will undoubtedly be a return customer with Chloe-- she's the best there is!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Altura is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Altura
This was our first time having Saphir stay at our place to take care of our little furr balls, a dog and a cat. We have a border collie and she is very active so it was nice to have Saphir there with her for walks, lounging, and playing "stair fetch". He was very communicative and sent us lots of pics. We will definitely use him 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!
Caitlyn was absolutely fantastic with our two Golden Retrievers! She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. One of our Goldens ended up needing some unexpected, last-minute special care, and Caitlyn handled everything without hesitation. She was attentive, compassionate, and communicated with us every step of the way, making what could have been a stressful situation much easier. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Caitlyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
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!

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 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 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.
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.
