“Aly stayed at our house with our 2 pups for a week and we are so appreciative! She took them to the dog park, went on walks and sent us pictures of their adventures. The house and the dogs were in great shape when we returned. We highly recommend Aly for any of your pet sitting needs!!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I love animals so much they are family, I have a golden retriever and a great Bernice mountain dog. I am good with big and small dogs. I also have owned cats and know how to take care of them! I know how to walk, bath, feed, and make animals feel safe and loved. I am a student at the university of Alabama. I have class from 9 to 1 but after that I am free. I can also go before class and on the weekends I am available! Animals are so important so I would make time to let them out walk and take care of with my class schedule. I can play with dogs in the yard or in the house. Go on long or short walks based on the weather. Keep them company so they don’t feel alone and make sure they feel loved and cared for at their home.
About: hiii! I was an animal shelter volunteer for a little over 7 years! I am very comfortable around all types of animals, poop etc. doesn’t bother me either! I think a person watching your animals shouldn’t just “watch” them but spend quality time with them! It can be scary for animals being left with an unfamiliar face so making the experience as enjoyable as possible ensures that they will be more comfortable next time! i also already go to the dog park every other day and sometimes every day! we absolutely love going (me and my dog sookie)!! I am a college student but thankfully all my classes are online! I don’t typically prefer weekends but if needed then I will be there! I am free 90% of the time! For the cats I have plenty of scratch posts and things they can play with. I also have cats of my own they love making friends! For dogs, I have a crate and large backyard with a lead post! they are allowed on couches and the bed if they want to go that route! Animals will show clear signs of discomfort and my responsibility is to listen and adhere to that
“This was the first time we used Kathleen. She did a great job. It gave us peace of mind while we were visiting our son and daughter. To be at the birth of our first grandson. Thank you, Kathleen.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for around four years and have experience with a variety of breeds, including dachshunds, Labradoodles, beagles, and labs. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who may need a little extra patience and attention. I was also a dog mom to my Boston terrier for 15 years before she passed away in 2023, so I understand firsthand how much our pets truly become part of the family. Having her from puppyhood through her senior years gave me experience adapting to a dog’s changing needs as they age. When your dog is in my care, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and treated just like I would want my own dog to be treated. I’m a teacher during the day, so I’m available for pet care in the evenings and at night during the week, making my schedule a great fit for pet parents who work late or overnight shifts. Whether your pup needs an evening walk, some playtime, or a check-in while you’re at work, I’m happy to help! My weekends are much more flexible, so I have greater availability throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I provide care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I understand that every dog has different needs, so I’ll follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’m also happy to spend extra time playing, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company if that’s what makes them happiest! I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect someone to show mine, and I’ll make sure you receive updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“I would book Kamryn to watch Diggs a thousand times over! She took extra time and care to make sure he was comfortable with her (he’s scan be pretty anxious with new people). She updated me several times a day about potties and feedings and took her time to hang out and play with him. I felt so comfortable leaving Diggs in her care!! I cannot thank her enough for the extra steps and reassurance she provided me that he was in the best care while I way away!!”
“This is the second time we’ve booked with Joanne. Joanne is excellent with communication and very attentive to the needs of Atlas and Sadie. Highly recommend Joanne. It is very apparent that she is an animal lover.”

My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care while giving you peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to support you and treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. Hi, I’m Coleman! I’m a registered nurse who loves helping others, and that passion extends to caring for animals, too. I’m dependable, attentive, and calm under pressure, and I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with those you care about most. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same kindness, patience, and respect I’d want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! I provide dependable, compassionate pet care that’s tailored to each pet’s unique needs and routine. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, administering medications when needed, or cleaning up after them, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“We booked Shania to house sit for more than a week and take care of our two dogs and two cats. She was great, and our babies loved all the snuggles and attention she gave them! She provided regular updates and was easy to communicate with, which gave us peace of mind while traveling. One of our cats requires special feeding, and one of our dogs is geriatric, needs medication, and has a special food mix. Shania was well-versed in taking care of their needs and we will definitely be booking her again for our next trip!”
“We highly recommend ASHLEY for any of your pet care needs. Our dogs, Mia and Bella are like our children, and we are very particular about who we allow to care for them. Ashley cares for our dogs as if they were her own. She is extremely dedicated, professional and responsible when sitting with our dogs. Ashley gives us an update on how they did and pictures or video of them during her stay. We can travel now and have confidence knowing they are loved and in such good hands while we’re gone. Ashley provides such a wonderful, caring service…you can’t get that just anywhere!! Judy & Roger L.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Vance is $36 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $36 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of November 2026, there are 300 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vance. 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 Vance 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 Vance 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 Vance 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.
