“Liz was great! She was quick to respond to messages and it was amazing that she was able to dog sit on such short notice! She came over the day before to meet Maverick and he liked her immediately! I will definitely be rebooking with Liz should the need arise.”
“Cordelia did a great job! She went above and beyond with bringing our dogs on multiple walk and keeping us updated with pictures, videos, and messages. We will definitely rebook when when need a house sitter again!”
“Kathi was the perfect choice for our house/dog sitter. She gave our two dachshunds lots of TLC and they took to her right away. She has a wonderful way with dogs. Kathi also took great care of our home while we were out of the country. She will always be welcome in our home!”
About: I have experience with many different breeds, including reactive dogs and aggressive breeds. I have patience and understanding for every dog and their unique routines and behaviors. I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was able to drive and I will provide an informed and easy going experience for your dog sitting needs as well. I’m currently working full time Monday through Thursday and I am available to pet sit extended time periods as well as short. Aside from having my weekends free to care for your fur baby I am also available to provide morning, noon, and evening walks and playtime sessions. Rest assured that when you’re gone your fur baby is receiving my full attention. I live in an apartment that is close to a walking and bike bath. My personal preference is taking the 10 minute drive to Holmes Lake and going for walks around that area.
“Jessica was amazing! We had her stay with our two dogs who tend to be anxious and she was wonderful. She played with them, took them on frequent walks and communicated throughout the stay. She was friendly and professional and we will definitely rebook in the future!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Kim! My dog has had some recent health issues and I was anxious to leave her, but Kim sent a lot of updates and pictures and I could tell she was keeping Chloe's routine that same that I would. When I got home, it was like I hadn't even left! The house was spotless and Chloe was happy! I was able to enjoy my trip knowing Chloe was well taken care of and I'm so glad I found Kim!”
About: I love spending time with animals and getting to meet all different types of breeds while getting to watch them and care for them at the same time. I am going to school part time right now and have lots of extra free time spent at home for taking care of pets. I am okay with having pets in my home as well as traveling to others homes to care for the animals. I treat the animals i watch as if they are my own making sure i tend to their needs and make them feel safe and cared for!
About: I’ve been house and dog sitting since I was 12 years old, so caring for animals is second nature to me. Growing up, I’ve had my own dog (and she is a diva) and three birds, so I’m super comfortable managing different animal personalities, daily routines, and dietary needs. I have also had 2 cats that I have shared with roommates! The biggest thing that sets me apart is my schedule. Because I study from home, I have a very minimal, flexible weekly routine. That means I would not just dropping by for a quick check-in, I can actually hang out at your house for long stretches or stay the entire day without having to leave. If your pet gets lonely, has separation anxiety, or just loves having a human around 24/7 to cuddle and keep them company, I’m your person! I am able to stay at your house however much you need me there from Thursday nights-Monday nights Sundays: completely available for 24/7 care Mondays: completely available for 24/7 care Tuesdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 4pm Wednesdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 4pm Thursdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 7pm Fridays: completely available for 24/7 care Saturdays: completely available for 24/7 care I will request you give me guidelines of what times you animal eats, much much the animal eats, and how often they tend to go outside/to the litter box. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as regular as possible so your pet is happy, healthy, and ready for you to come home ☺️
About: Taking care of animals was the first responsibility my siblings and I were raised on. I have had all different species and breeds of pets since before I can remember and I have been a huge animal lover my whole life. I live on a farm with several large animals and always happy cats and dogs around the house. I am an animal science major at KSU working towards a career dealing with behavioral studies for companion animals. I work in a dog daycare and boarding facility and have volunteered training foster dogs for adoption. I love every shape and size of critter!:) I do have a full time position with a flexible mid day break to travel in Otoe county, available for morning, evening and night check-in’s throughout the week. Available all day on weekends! I am willing to follow any directions given to help make your fur baby as comfortable as possible while under my care! I strive to make a connection with every animal I work with!
“Tricia took excellent care of my needy puppy Hazel while I was away on vacation. Hazel had some unexpected GI issues and Tricia went above and beyond to help her, cooking her a bland diet and asking a veterinarian friend for advice. Tricia was great with sending daily updates and I felt reassured that Hazel was in great hands. Lastly, I had some unexpected apartment maintenance issues and Tricia worked with my building to get it resolved, all while putting Hazel first. I would recommend Tricia to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. Thanks Tricia!”

AT THIS MOMENT I CAN ONLY TAKE CARE OF PETS IN YOUR HOUSE. IF THIS MESSAGE IS HERE, IT IS CURRENT. I care for pets in your home or mine, providing feeding, exercise, playtime, and lots of love.

About: I have had dogs all of my life....big and small. I have trained my malshi to sit and stay and go through the doggy door and reacts to certain commands! Mostly weekends, but evenings during the weekdays work for us as well! I am in sales so I come home every now and then during the day! I have a fenced in yard with a doggy door for small dogs if needed! Our backyard is very large for all size dogs to run around!

The average cost of House Sitting in Alvo is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $46 per night.

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 Alvo 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 Alvo 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 Alvo 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
