“Viktoriia was seriously amazing with our dogs. She was prompt in coming letting them outside, sent pics of them running around, and gave them the perfect amount of attention. We will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 9 years old. I grew up with boxers and australian shepherds, but have cared for labs, goldens, pit mixes, and a husky! I trained my rescue husky and managed to help her become a well behaved member of the family. I enjoy walks just as much as the dogs do, and I love to spoil the dogs I care for. I work remote 3 days a week and in-office 2 days a week. I live across the street from my work and have ample time to go home every 3-4 hours to walk/play with your dog! For walks/potty breaks/social visits, I have a lot of flexibility on the days where I work from home. I’m an early riser and love to get a walk in before my day starts. I’m happy to prepare meals in the kitchen if your dog has any special dietary needs (or if you like to feed them whole foods).
“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.”
“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!”
“Caitlyn took great care of our fur babies! We got photos and updates daily, which was so nice. Caitlyn also looked after our home which was a real comfort. We will definitely be requesting her services again!”
“Tiffany was amazing! She stopped by every other day and hung out with my cat for 30 min! She let him out, gave him water and checked on my house! I will definitely be using her for future sitting needs.”
“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!”
“I had a great experience with this dog sitter and would absolutely recommend them. They were incredibly attentive and made sure my dog got plenty of exercise with regular walks and lots of time outside. It was clear they genuinely cared about keeping him happy and comfortable while I was away. Communication was also excellent—they were very responsive and kept me updated, which gave me real peace of mind. I never had to wonder how things were going because they consistently checked in and were quick to reply whenever I reached out.”
“Alexus took amazing care of my golden doodle and our house over Thanksgiving holiday week. Doggie was happy and calm and the regular updates and pics were great!! Will absolutely rebook the next time we need a dog sitter 💗💗”
“Sara and Erin were great to work with and took good care of our home and pets. We will keep them on our short list for future house sitting needs. Thank you!”
“Jazmyne was absolutely wonderful. My pups loved her and she was so patient and understanding. I had to leave for a work trip and of course the night before one of my dogs got sick with a bout of diarrhea, I let Jazmyne know and had to leave alternate instructions and food and she handled it like a pro. She gave me regular updates to let me know how they were both doing and paid extra attention to my sick pup. I came home to a wonderfully clean apartment and two very happy dogs. I would certainly recommend Jazmyne and look forward to using her in the future.”
“Sheila was communicative and sent pictures and videos to let us know how our pups were doing. We appreciate her living on our pups while we were away. 10/10 would book again 🤗”
“Kiyara was an amazing sitter for my older dog. She was very respectful and accommodated for any of his needs. He was so comfortable with her and he is not usually with newer people. She treated him amazing and was the perfect sitter for him. I would 100% recommend and I will be booking again in the future!!”
“Logan was amazing!! She was very communicative, sending pictures and updates, and was easy to get in touch with. She was great with our girls and treated them so well. They had some unexpected accidents, and she was so gracious about dealing with them. I cannot recommend her highly enough. We would totally ask Logan to watch our dogs again!!”
“Chanel is personable and professional! She took her responsibilities seriously and made sure she knew just how to take care of our animals and home. The animals were well taken care of and exercised and she left our home even cleaner than she found it! We would highly recommend using her for your animals as we plan to again!”
“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.”
“Taylor is an amazing house sitter, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets! He was respectful of our home, took great care of Sophie, and gave us peace of mind while we were away for the weekend. He kept us updated with photos and was always quick to reach out if he had any questions. It was clear that Sophie was well cared for and got plenty of attention and playtime. We came home to a happy pup and a well-kept house. We’d absolutely book with Taylor 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.
This was our very first time using Rover and we couldn’t have gotten luckier! Melanie made us feel comfortable from the very beginning, as one of our dogs is very particular on who she likes. Our dog liked her immediately and that was such a great feeling! Melanie sent updates and photos every single day and that made leaving them so much easier! Both of our dogs seemed to genuinely love having her there with them and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dogs and our home! We will most definitely be booking with Melanie again!

Saphir was an amazing sitter for our two cats! We've had a lot of Rover sitters in the past, but Saphir was by far the most organized and professional. This was really comforting in the meet and greet, and played out beautifully while we were away. Saphir did overnight stays for us and we got tons of updates and very prompt communication, he took great care of our place, and most importantly he did a great job with our boys. One of our cats is very particular about his routine and Saphir did a fantastic job of sticking to it and keeping him happy. We will absolutely be rebooking!
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Altura on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 8,186 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
