About: I grew up on a 60 acre ranch in Oregon. Horses, cattle, dogs, cats, birds, pigs, ducks, geese, chickens, goats, and fish as pets. I've had a dog, cat and bird that grew up together and ate, slept and played together. Raised ducks and gesse that followed me wherever I went. Raised birds to talk and whistle songs. Had fish trained to eat from my hand and let me pet them. I've had as many as 6 dogs at one time of different and/or mixed breeds. I've had as many as 10 cats at one time, always with one that I was 'his person'. I will play with your pets, sit with and comfort them, whatever they need that day. I know what its like to leave my dog in someone else's care and I assure you may rest easy knowing they are in good hands. My dog is part of our family. We do everything together whenever possible. We have a 1/4 acre fully fenced just for our 2 yr old and our dogs to run and play safely. It is difficult to leave him home when we want to go somewhere, so I know how it feels to be worried about leaving him in someone else's care. I like playing with dogs, cats and birds. Whatever their needs to make them feel comfortable while you are gone, I'm sure I can accommodate. They miss us when we are gone far more than we probably realize. I will do my best to ease their anxiety and leave them feeling at ease.

I’m very knowledgeable on keeping logs of medication and when they are administered and ensuring they get all the bathroom breaks and play time possible.

While pet sitting if I do have to leave I limit my time out and I ensure there is entertainment to help with anxiety such as a radio or TV playing with a cartoon and or music videos of wildlife. This has had a positive experience for many pets I take care of. I never want to leave a pet alone for long. I have a large fenced in yard, I have three very friendly dogs (one large and two small senior dogs) they can keep your babies company. I also have crates for my own pets and if necessary for yours as well.

About: I have always grown up around and taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I have always had my own pet in one way or another since I was 13. I have been really wanting a dog but due to certain circumstances I cannot get one right now so I’m using my free time to try and help people with dogs and other animals. Right now I am an assistant prekindergarten teacher but we are on our last days of school and I need something to do that will keep me busy and help others. Right now I am available every week day after 1:30pm and all day on weekends; until June 2 which is when summer break will start and then I’ll be available 24/7. Unfortunately I’m not in a position to bring other animals into my home but I do have 2 adult cats that i feed and play with everyday.
About: I can handle fish, reptiles, birds, cats, dogs, and most farm animals. I can do pop-ins, stay a few hours with your babies or even stay at your home for the entirety of your trip. I am very responsible and have been around animals all my life. I work part-time so I can be available any day with enough notice. I can feed, water, walk, clean the litter box, play with and love on your pets. I will take care of them like they're my own.

About: Have taken care of and owned dogs all my life as well as been partnering with another pet sitting business to take in overflow. No kid home, safe and secure for your pet. Open to special requests such as if you want your dog walked at a park once a day, or kept separate from any other animals, etc. also if you’d like daily or multidaily updates and photos that can be requested. I work from home as a tailor so I’m home most of the day, no long hours away. I live alone so no extra people or strangers will be in the house or going in and out throughout the day. Close to Colonial animal hospital and Blue pearl incase of any emergency. I have a 6 foot fenced yard and a friendly small dog that is happy to play with a new friend. If your pet sleeps in bed at night I’d be happy to accommodate or if they’re crated at night I can also do so for you. I try to follow the same rules they live by at home including if they’re allowed on furniture, how they’re fed, etc.
“Victoria has been a great sitter to our pup on two last minute occasions now. We loved receiving pictures and updates during the visits. Our pup seemed happy and comfortable around her. Definitely would recommend! Thanks 😊”

“Laurin is fantastic! My girls look happy in the photos and she followed all instructions. She was super helpful to check in on them for me last min which i truly appreciated! I’d highly recommend her. Thanks again!!”
About: “I’ve worked in the pet care industry for several years, including managing pet bathing and grooming at a local grooming salon. Through this experience, I’ve gained a deep understanding of pet behavior and care. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, and other small animals, and I’m comfortable handling pets of all sizes and breeds.” “Extended day care (4+ hours) and constant care rates are available by request.” I’m a full time pet sitter & doordasher so I make my own schedule and have open availability. I’m willing to travel to Naples & Bonita for pet sitting services. At home my babies have a fenced in yard for them to run & play. They are a bit on the older side but still full of energy. They eat 2-3 times a day and are crated when no one is home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Alva
Keira was absolutely amazing with our 14 week old Aussiedoodle puppy, Lily. She is very experienced and offered ideas on how to adjust to a rambunctious new addition in our home. Keira was an excellent communicator throughout these past two weeks, never hesitating to reach out if she had any questions or suggestions. We look forward to continuing to use Keira as Lily has grown so fond of her.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Alva stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Alva 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Alva with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
