“Erin made sure to stay in contact with us during our travel. She took wonderful care of our girls as well as our outdoor animals which meant the world to me. When we returned, our sheets and towels were cleaned and our house looked amazing! Thank you Erin for taking such great care of our home and pets.”
“Anna did great with Rusty sending us updates about his day frequently. He had a ton of fun playing with her two other dogs. It was great knowing that she had a background working at a vet. She was friendly and caring towards Rusty and we know he would love to visit again!”
“We couldn't be more thrilled with the care Diana provided for our golden retriever, Goose! From the moment we dropped him off at her home, we felt completely at ease. Diana went above and beyond to keep us updated with tons of adorable pictures and videos of Goose playing with her other dogs, which really put our minds at rest while we were away. She was so thoughtful, even sending us home with some homemade dog treats, which was such a sweet touch! Diana was incredibly flexible and understanding, accommodating our last-minute changes with ease. It’s clear she truly loves dogs, and Goose had a blast with her and her pups. We wholeheartedly recommend her and will definitely be trusting her with Goose again in the future!”
About: I’ve always been a big dog lover! I have worked as a kennel technician between 2021-2024 and the experience was amazing. To add I also have a senior (12) and a middle age dog (7) of my own. I love to take care of them. I am working full time Monday-Thursday with the availability of free evenings. I am fully available Friday-Sunday for dog walking and/or dog-sitting. I currently live in an apartment with two reactive pets. I would prefer to dog-sit as it would be safer for all pets. I am always gauging unbelonging behavior amongst my dogs.
“Oh my goodness, I cannot believe such a wonderful wonderful person came to our life and taking care of me and my family. God bless her for being so good inside and out and so perfect and smart and she’s on time. She’s just help you with anything you need, she is therefore all of it perfect perfect lady thank you so much God for sending her to me to help me out appreciate the Rover and God and everybody else to send such a wonderful”
“We had an unexpected trip pop up the week before Christmas. Michelle accepted our request to pet sit even though we did not give her 24 hours notice. She came by and did a meet and greet the same day we contacted her and was taking care of our pets within 24 hours. She was very communicative and took lots of pics for us since we were nervous leaving them. We have already told Michelle that we would like to hire her for a trip this summer. She was excellent.”
“Norah is too sweet. Jasper loved her, she was careful about following all instructions. She also made sure to send us updates and loads of pics. Will be using her again soon! Thank you for taking good care of our baby.”
“Taylor was amazing! She communicated well, which is always a relief while out of town. She kept up with the varying needs of our three dogs and gave us a lot of peace of mind. So grateful to her and we will certainly rebook!”
“Nicholas was amazing! He was extremely professional, and communicative. Took care of my dog like it was his own. Kept me updated when I asked, left me with no worries! Definitely will be rebooking in the future!”
“Autumn was the perfect pet/house sitter! Not only were all of our animals well taken care of, but Autumn was an excellent communicator, polite, professional, and attentive! I felt her rates were very reasonable, which is a huge plus! She was flexible in working with us in regards to scheduling, procedures, and even agreed to take care of our goats on top of the indoor animals. If we ever need care for our animals again we would definitely reach back out to Autumn first!”
“Brooke did well with my sweet three. We were gone for 3 nights my dogs seemed to like her in the short time we had to find a sitter. Usually it takes one of my dogs awhile to warm up to a new face. Things looked great when we got home. Received a few pics which is always nice to get.”
“Thank you for such a wonderful courageous sweetheart God‘s angels to come and help us out and save us. Thank you so much hopefully you get everything your heart desires. Thank you for helping me out in a time of need. Thank you so much. God bless you, may God keep you safe to help others with their animals.”
“Marionna is awesome! She was very flexible with meeting our dogs and asking us exactly what their routines and preferences are. She stayed with them at our house and sent us pictures every day, and it was clear that they were happy and well taken care of. This was our first time using Marionna (or Rover, period), but we will happily have her keep our dogs again and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Chandler went above and beyond with my babies! He even washed my sheets and put them back on my bed. How nice it was to come home and be able to hop in my bed and go right to sleep. He sent me updates every morning and evening accompanied with pictures and videos of him playing ball and having the best time playing. I will definitely use him again in the future!!!!”
About: Friends and family always ask me to look after their pets. I am patient, enthusiastic and great with both dogs and cats. I would love the chance to help walk or sit your fur baby today! I am focusing on school right now so my schedule is wide open. I prefer mornings so it isn’t so hot for the dogs. I walk at the pace of the dog and am very patient. I bring water with for the dogs with me on all my walks.

The average cost of House Sitting in Lake Aluma is $69 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $67 and $109 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 Lake Aluma 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 Lake Aluma 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 Lake Aluma 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.
