“Megan is beyond amazing!! She’s watched our babies for the past 3 times we’ve gone out of town, and I’m able to actually enjoy my time away because I know they are in incredible hands. She sends us daily photos of them and loves our doodles as if they are her own. We love Megan so so much!”
“We are so thankful for Amanda! She took such great care of our elderly dog over the weekend and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well cared for. Her communication was excellent, she showed up early, and he even went the extra mile by cleaning the sheets afterwards. Truly wonderful experience. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”
“We were so worried about leaving our 1 year old Belgian for a week. Allison immediately connected with Murph upon meeting. I am not sure he wanted us to come back. Allison was great- kept us updated and took great care of Murph!”
“Great with multiple dogs Great with dogs who are a bit shy! Didn’t have to check behind her. I was able to enjoy my baby shower in peace without worrying about my babies.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I could walk. I have never had a time in my life where I have not had at least one dog. I currently have a 5 year old pit mix. I just lost my 15 year old girl. I trained them both from 8 week puppies. So I have extensive experience with puppies and seniors. I am skilled at giving medication and can work with anxious or reactive or hyperactive dogs. I have also had cats and am familiar with their unique personalities! I work from home so my schedule is fairly flexible. I can work from wherever there is WiFi so as long as your house has WiFi I can be there as much as you require! I will take care of your home in addition to your fur baby. I will keep it as it first was when I arrived. Your fur baby will be safe, well loved, and well taken care of in your absence.
“We had a great experience with Brittney. She stayed at our home with our three pets and took excellent care of all of them. One dog is very shy and timid, and one dog has just had surgery. Brittney handled all the medications and kept me updated on all pets. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring person to look after their pets.”
About: My calm, patient approach helps pets feel safe, while my communication style keeps owners reassured with updates, photos, and transparency. My goal is always to treat every animal as if they were my own. For your pet - Walks - Biking - Snuggles For you - Communication - Trust - An on time professional and personable relationship with my clients I will create a safe, comfortable, and predictable environment based on each animal’s needs. This includes following the pet’s regular feeding schedule, providing fresh water, offering exercise and playtime, administering medications if required, and keeping up with daily routines.
“Madison was very kind and attentive to the dogs. She made sure they got meds, potty breaks and play time. I loved she kept us updated while gone and sent pictures. We’d definitely use her again!”
“We could not have been more happy with Tammie taking care of our pups ! She did an amazing job. She always stayed in communication with us whether by sending updates via text or sending pictures and videos of our pups. It was also obvious that our pups developed a bond with Tammie. which is extra comforting. We truly knew that our pups were in the right hands and our pups knew also. We will definitely call on Tammie again. Thank you Tammie !”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for more than 20 years, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and other beloved pets. For me, pet care is more than feeding and walking, it’s about creating a safe, calm, loving environment where animals feel comfortable, understood, and cared for. As a counselor, I bring a natural understanding of behavior, communication, emotional regulation, and individual needs. I am also a service-dog handler, giving me firsthand experience with the responsibilities, routines, and attentiveness required when caring for working and support animals. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and ability to meet each pet where they are. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, anxious or sensitive animals, and pets with unique routines or personalities. I take the time to learn what makes each animal feel safe and loved, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. Your pet’s well-being, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. ❤️ Pet care fits well into my routine because my schedule is highly flexible. I’m generally available on weekday evenings and weekends, although I usually need advance notice to plan appropriately and provide reliable, attentive care. I communicate clearly about availability and make sure each visit receives the time and attention your pet deserves. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication in every pet-care arrangement. I am not offering in-home boarding or pet care in my own home (I’m full-); I provide services such as visits or walks according to the agreed-upon arrangement. Before beginning, I carefully review your pet’s routine, medical or behavioral needs, access instructions, emergency contacts, and household expectations. I respect your privacy and property, follow your instructions closely, and maintain professional boundaries while caring for your pet in your client’s home.

“I needed a last minute dog sitter and Kendall was kind enough to agree to help. She was great and did such a good job taking care of my Ellie and provided photos and updates throughout her stay. She even left a sweet gift for me upon my return. Would definitely have her take care of Ellie again!”
“I contacted Canija due to a no show from a previous sitter. I was out of town and needed immediate care for my dogs at home. She responded promptly and showed up at the agreed upon time. My dogs seemed to be well taken care of and my home was in the same state I left it in. She stayed in touch and didn't hesitate to ask questions. I will definitely use Canija again.”
“This was our first time using a pet sitting service and it was absolutely amazing! Aniyah is so sweet and kind and she treated our Kingston like her own from the very first time of meeting him. Aniyah sent us pictures and updates throughout the whole stay which made us feel so relieved and comfortable knowing our boy was being well looked after. If you're looking for a dog sitter we highly recommend Aniyah, she was the best!!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Alvaton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 466 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alvaton. 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 Alvaton 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 Alvaton 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 Alvaton 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.
