“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!”
“Chesnie was GREAT! She was well loved by our three dogs and extremely communicative throughout our entire trip. She was respectful of our home and we came back to it in the exact same state that we left it in. It was so nice to go out of town and know that our dogs were well taken care of the entire time.”
“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!”
“Lanae did amazing with my two pups! I have an older greyhound and young golden retriever who have the exact opposite personalities haha. She did wonderful with both! She kept me updating throughout the day and sent wonderful pictures to let me know my pups were doing well. I am so grateful for the time she spent with them while we were away. I would recommend her to anyone Loki g for a wonderful dog/house sitter.”
“This was my first time having a pet sitter and Heather made the process so seamless. She provided constant updates and photos of my fur babies. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience, and will definitely be working with Heather in the future!”
“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 !”
“Bhavana did a great job house sitting and watching our two pups! She was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. She sent us photos and our pups looked happy. It's always a relief to not have to worry while you are out of town. We requested her services last minute because our original plans fell through so we are very appreciative of Bhavana!”
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of lots of different dogs, cats, and even a Guinea pig so I’m great with pretty much any animals. I don’t just do the bare minimum either I always make sure to keep them happy and occupied as well. This is currently my only job so I have all the time to spend taking care of your sweet fur babies, on weekdays and weekends. I’m capable of filling in with any extra things like administering medication if needed and anything else you need me to do for you.
“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!”
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 am very friendly and accommodating and I will do anything I can to take good care of your pets. I look forward to speaking with you about how I can provide excellent service to you and your pets! I am currently in school and have plenty of time to care for your pets. I can accommodate any schedule and facilitate whatever you or your pet needs. I am very dependable and trustworthy. Whether I have your pets in my home or yours, you will receive adequate communication and pictures so you can rest easy knowing that your pet is in good hands. Your pet will be treated as if they were my own.
About: I have taken care of dogs, ranging from pitbull mixes to mini schnauzers. I love dogs of all sizes, both for at home stays and just for checking in every few hours for some food, playtime, and company. I also have many years of experience with taking care of cats, whether they are shy and want nothing to do with me, or are very active play friends. I have cleaned up messes and comforted animals during thunderstorms. I have about seven years of experience. I am currently in my final semester of college and only go to class on Mondays and Wednesdays. The rest of my days are free for any and all pet care! I am comfortable staying overnight and checking in with them as many times as I need to throughout the day. I have stayed in client's homes before and have always left it cleaner than they left it. I have followed many doggy diets, including strange requests and many medicinal needs. My main focus is to help the animal be as comfortable as possible while their owner is away.
“We decided to try house sitting for the first time. My dog has trouble adjusting and trusting new people and Brittney was amazing with him, she did several meet and greet to make sure my dog was confortable with her!”
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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
