I have watched dogs and cats for numerous years for friends and family members I typically have an open morning schedule. I work at my other job from 2-10, so I would wake up whenever needed. I have Thursdays off which will my fullest availability. I am very mobile and able to come to you at your convenience. I have a one cat at home and he is declawed. I live in an apartment complex so coming to you is more convenient.
“Tricia was flexible and easy to work with during her home stay. She gave us updates each day on our pups and left the house clean and in good worder when she left She was eager to put our mind at ease and spent lots of time with my boys”
“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.”
“Frankie was in great hands! We needed a last-minute sitter for a 3-day stay at our house, and she was wonderful. She kept us updated while we were away, which gave us a lot of peace of mind, and it was clear Frankie was well cared for and comfortable. We came home to a happy dog, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“Ashlee was wonderful. She took care of our Willow and also our home. I would trust her to take care of my dog anytime. She is responsible and very caring for our furry friend. Thank you Ashlee.”
“I had a great experience with Kendra as our pet sitter! She was incredibly attentive, providing daily updates with photos and feedback, which made me feel at ease while I was away. It was clear they were in great hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Kim did a wonderful job with our dog and cat, for a week. We came home to perfectly happy, contented pets. She did a great job of keeping us posted. Everything was absolutely perfect. We could not have asked for a better caretaker for our pets. She has our highest recommendation. Her care has given us the freedom to plan more trips.”
“Our Hazel and Estes have a new buddy and we are so happy and grateful for Piper for taking such good care of them. Piper provided daily pictures that showed our puppies enjoying their time. We will definitely book again!”
About: I have had dogs in my life over 40 years! We always had dogs growing up and I have loved having dogs as an adult! We love going on walks and playing ball with them also! They are welcomed to get on the furniture or sleep in bed with us! My teen daughter will be thrilled to have extra dogs around! Can’t wait to have a house full of pups to care for until you are home again! They will feel right at home and be treated as if they were our own. Lots of snuggles and love for all! And if it is ok maybe a few treats also! ? We would love to care for your dogs....so get ahold of us and let’s talk! ? I make my own schedule so I can work around when I have pups at my house and when they need let out to go potty! I have a fenced in large yard for the pups to play together. Lots of space so they can chase a ball and get their exercise!
“Celeste watched my Dane while I was away for about two weeks over Christmas break. She did a wonderful job with my Dane. Followed his schedule as well. If she had questions she asked and even sent updates. She left my home just as it was before I left. I had no concerns and will use her again.”
“I would leave 10 Stars if I could! Elizabeth took amazing care of our three dogs and a cat! After meeting her for the first time I knew she was the person I could trust with my pets. She is professional in all respects. All the dogs reacted calmly when introduced to her. She goes above and beyond what is normally expected. My dogs are very active and require exercise and a lot of attention. Both of those conditionals were met with Elizabeth exercising them twice a day. She is trustworthy, caring, and followed our dog schedule perfectly. Elizabeth showed her ability to handle situations when ants invaded our house. We were able to rid the house of ants with the help of a neighbor and Elizabeth keeping the dogs clear of any toxic over spray. I am so thankful for her taking care of issues when they arise. Communications with Elizabeth were excellent as she was in contact everyday. Upon our return, we found our house clean and devoid of mountains of dog hair. It is so comforting to know you can leave the country and know that your pets are receiving the best care possible. I highly recommend Elizabeth for taking care of any pet.”
“Kara did a wonderful job watching our dog Luna in our home while we were out of town. She was very responsive, sending us daily updates and photos which we loved! And she went above and beyond to make Luna feel comfortable during some over night storms that came through. We will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”
“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 love animals, particularly cats. I’m patient but firm. I can ignore the incessant whines for excessive amounts of food. I am comfortable administering medications and picking up messes. Your fur baby is safe with me! I’m a student in college. I am free most afternoons and evenings and can spend the night at your house or apartment. Unfortunately, bringing the animals to my apartment is not an option. I’ve got plenty of free time and am excited to take care of your animal! I can not take animals at my apartment. I am more than happy to come to your location. I can do walks, bathroom breaks, feeding, playing, and any of the dirty work that comes with it!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life starting from the age of 10. I’ve always helped when it came to feeding, walking, and any potty pick ups. I’ve taken care of dogs for both family and friends. Currently only available on weekends due to regular job during the week. I am available evenings, especially if you work overnight and are concerned about your pet. I like to make sure that I know all entrances and exits and if there’s any loose doors/handles, that way I know where to keep an eye out around the house of clients, so no one gets hurt or out without supervision.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Alvo on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 516 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alvo. 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 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.
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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alvo. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
