I was concerned about leaving the Aussie Posse with a stranger since they are absolutely not used to being around unfamiliar people and the standard size Aussie has designated himself as the house protector. To my delight Olivia handled the situation perfectly. She greeted him calmly and then basically ignored him until he and the others calmed down. The second day went better. And by day 3 they were practically old friends. One of my other dogs is shy and didn't want to eat. She changed his feeding location in order to give him space, and pretty much ignored him for a couple days. By the end of her time with us he was finishing his meal and even playing ball with her in the yard. We are extremely happy with the service she provided, would definitely hire her again and would strongly recommend her to others in need of pet sitting services. She's the BEST!!

About: I’ve been an animal lover, my whole life. With my background in the Vet field and most of my time as a kennel manager, my prior history, ensures the safety and care of your fur baby. I also have pets of my own so every day I ensure that not only my pets are taken care of but yours as well. I have several family members and friends that only trust me with their pets. I have 2 seniors pets of my own and understand the difficulties that come along with it. 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. Currently for the summer time, I am home most of the week and can ensure a daily routine. 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: Hi, I’m Arianna! I’m a reliable and experienced pet sitter with over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and other animals. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to provide safe, loving, and attentive care while you’re away.

I currently work part-time at the BGCA, but I’m available for pet sitting on weekends from 8 AM to 10 PM and weekdays from 4 PM to 10 PM (with some exceptions on weekdays). Whether it’s stopping by for a quick check-in or spending more time with your furry friend, I’m flexible to meet your pet’s needs. If I am caring for pets at my home, I have a fenced yard with a gated lanai where your pets can safely run around. I also have two friendly dogs who can be separated from yours if needed. They love to play and would make great companions if your pet enjoys socializing.

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.

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: Working part of Pet Care has been incredibly of joy. Pets bring happiness to our home. Patience & kindness always works best. Pets are always welcomed and part of our family. Specifically the attention they love, running around the backyard & sun bathe & play with toys keeps them active and happy overall. Friends and family rely trustworthy on my skills over 6 years of experience. I dedicate my time as full - time on Pet Care. It’s my biggest passion and works best for me as my daily & weekly routine. My community in where I live is gated, & my sweet home is based on fenced back yard which works best during pet care. Keeps all pets safe at all times even though they are always supervised by me. Never left alone.

About: I grew up taking care of, owning, and helping raise all kinds of different dogs. Great Danes, puggles, pit bulls, and small dogs like terriers and shitzu’s. I have always been the one friends and family have called to look after their pets while they’re gone. I love them like they’re my own and go above and beyond to make sure they’re comfortable when their parents aren’t around! I have had the blessing of being able to work from home Monday, Wednesdays, Thursday’s, and Fridays with weekends off. The only day i am unavailable during the week is Tuesdays! I want to fill my free time with something I love! I have a very large fenced in yard and we do have one dog of our own who is extremely friendly to keep your fur baby company but if you’d feel more comfortable keeping them separate I am easily able to do that as well as he has a dog bed in my daughters room that he loves being in.

About: We are a mommy daughter dynamic duo excited to watch your fur baby. I had pets my entire childhood and into early adulthood and recently added a fur baby to our family. We have taking care of dogs for about 4 years prior to Rover and have been using Rover since summer of 2021. We have always been told we are very trusted, responsable, and dependable. We have regular, repeat customers because we love every fur baby as our own. In our home all fur babies we care for become family and get to choose where they sleep or who they sleep with if that's what they prefer. We have plenty of time for your pups or older dogs to play, care for, and go on walks of course!! We can even watch Chihuahua movies series if that’s what they’re into. I was a stay at home mom for a long time but after recent changes I had to rejoin the workforce. I am pretty flexible with my time and being that my teenage kids get out of school at different hours, fur babies would not be alone or than 4 hours at a time We have a fenced in large yard with very friendly neighbors. We have a bearded dragon that no pets seem to notice unless we point him out. We have a puppy Apollo who's already experienced and great with other fur friends. We can have your pet in a crate if needed whatever works best for your fur baby. We are looking forward to caring for your fur baby.

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Alva

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Alva on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,371 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Alva. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alva. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.

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.
