About: I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends since 2019. Never having a fur baby of my one, I give as many belly rubs to the ones I care for to make up for it! Since I WFH, my schedule is very flexible. It’s the perfect set up for midday walks and all day belly rubs! Having a car also allows flexibility so I’m available in various locations. I care for pets by going where they’re most comfortable. I’m happy to go to your home and give your pets the love they deserve while you get the vacay you need!

Cats where super chill when we came home. Jenna did a wonderful job giving us updates and feedback. She played with them, fed them and cleaned up after then. I would recommend this service to everyone with pets going on a trip. Thank you so much

If you’re looking for an incredibly detail oriented, pet obsessed, dependable sitter - you can stop here, Nicoleia your girl. She did everything I asked to take care of my super senior cat, Simba, and wrote super detailed follow ups with tons of photos every single day. She even went above and beyond and noticed it was trash day and took my bins out without me asking. I’m super grateful to have found her - my cat gets upset every time I leave and usually lets me know by making all sorts of messes - Nicole is the first pet sitter I’ve had that he’s immediately loved so much that I don’t even have to worry about that. An actual pet whisperer, I finally have found someone that makes me not have to worry about my babies while I’m gone 🥹

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.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, and I truly enjoy working with pets of all kinds. My experience goes far beyond dogs and cats. I have cared for lizards, fed tortoises, maintained freshwater aquariums, and cared for fish. I especially enjoy creating healthy, natural aquarium environments. Give me instructions, and they’ll be followed. I also have experience caring for chickens. With dogs and cats, I’ve raised entire litters of both puppies and kittens, and I’m currently raising a kitten of my own. I have four dogs at home (three Pomeranians and one Chihuahua) and grew up with Labrador Retrievers, so I’m comfortable with both small and large breeds. I also grew up with many cats and am very comfortable caring for them. In addition to caring for my own animals, I have three years of dog walking experience. Whether your pet has fur, feathers, fins, or scales, I understand that every animal has unique needs and deserves patient, attentive care. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! 💚 I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available most evenings and all weekend, making it easy to accommodate walks and pet sitting. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. I know that keeping a familiar routine helps pets feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll also make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment based on their personality and needs. 💚

About: I have been an Emergency and Internal Medicine vet tech part-time for 18 years. I also foster and volunteer for cat and dog rescues. I love taking care of animals and will love yours like my own. Whether your pet is young, healthy, have medical conditions and needs special care, or is a senior, I am comfortable providing all types of care. Originally from New England, I moved to Florida since you don't have to shovel sunshine. After working in the corporate world with an extensive travel schedule, I know what it's like finding quality care and to worry about your pets when you are gone. You will receive regular updates and photos while you are away. I would be happy to meet with you to discuss your needs during a free consultation. I have 5 dogs of my own so pet care is an integral part of my day. I have a flexible schedule so I am able to meet customer needs. All pets that stay with me are treated like my own dogs. They can stay in my home or I can visit yours and follow your instructions.

About: I have been providing pet sitting for clients since 2020, caring for both dogs and cats. I am also a dog owner myself, and I have experience training my own dogs, so I understand the importance of structure, patience, and positive reinforcement. In my home, pets receive lots of love, attention, cuddles, and playtime. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family while they are here. We also enjoy fun and interactive time throughout the day to keep them happy and relaxed. My home is fully pet-friendly and equipped with toys, treats, and everything needed for daily care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always aim to provide a calm, loving environment.” Pet care fits into my daily routine because I am a stay-at-home caregiver, so I am home throughout the day and able to fully focus on the pets in my care. My schedule is very flexible and centered around feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervision. I plan my day around the pets so they are never left alone for long periods and always have attention, care, and consistency. On a weekly basis, I am able to accommodate regular bookings as well as longer stays since I am home most of the time. In my home, I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets are treated like part of the family. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest time. Pets are supervised throughout the day since I am home all day, and I make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation. I also keep a clean, pet-friendly space with toys, treats, and everything needed for their comfort. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their home and follow all instructions exactly as provided. I maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication if needed, and playtime. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident and reassured while they are away.

About: I have recently started sitting dogs despite having them for years as a child. I didn't gain much experience as I was young; however, I am comfortable with playing with, feeding, bathing, walking, and administering oral medicine to dogs via treats! 😂 I absolutely love animals and am more than willing to help take care of them in any way I can! I would love to take care of your animals at any time however I run a packed schedule!! I coach volleyball at a local high school in the afternoons so please message me to see if I can properly suit your needs! I am very respectful of people's privacy and property. In a client's home I stay in the designated living area unless given prior permission to enter other areas of the house. I am more than willing to walk and play with your dogs or simply keep them company! Please let me know if your pet has certain walking paths, feeding procedures, or care needs so I can offer them maximum comfort!

About: I’ve always loved dogs, currently have an old pup and excited to meet your fur friends and help take care of your dog(s)! The world is just a better place with dogs and I’ve always felt that way. I’d be happy to help show your pets attention and support where it is needed, as I’ve always had a dog and been the “go to” person to watch a friend or families pet while they’re away. I’m a full time working, single mother with some flexibility in my schedule daily. I own a home with a fenced in yard and have two kids who love pets just as much as me. We also have an 8 year old yellow lab at home, Kate. I enjoy walks and runs so happy to add that into my day and help. I have a fenced in yard and a yellow lab who is friendly with other pets and happy to have a friend over. My children and I absolute enjoy having fur friends over, and helping take care of them.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,416 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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.
