About: I grew up with a cat and now have a 6 year old dog of my own, so I understand pets of all personalities and energy levels. I've also cared for two dogs at once, including a reactive one, so I'm comfortable with multi dog households. I work remotely, which means I'm available on weekdays for walks or drop ins, especially if you're nearby in Glens Falls. I treat every pet like my own and I'm reliable, attentive, and easy to communicate with. I work from home so my hours are flexible, which makes me available for drop in visits or dog walking during the day. Weekends are generally open as well for overnight stays or drop in visits, so I’m happy to work around your pets schedule. I’m an attentive dog mom to my own pup, so I bring that same level of care and attention to every visit, making sure your pet gets the affection they need.
“Amber went above and beyond! Sent me pictures and kept me updated about my dog daily. I felt very at ease knowing he was being taken such good care of. The house looked great when we arrived home as well. We will definitely have Amber pet sit for us again!”
“Great communicator and very capable with our dog that can be unfriendly to strangers. Thankful for the meet and greet and she was understanding of a last minute schedule change.”
“Jess was great! She came and did a meet and greet with us and Riley was excited to meet her. She was on time, friendly, and took great care of our pup (and kitty) while we were out of town for a wedding! She sent daily updates, was super communicative, and did a great job making us feel better our first time leaving our fur babies. We’ll definitely be using her in the future!”
“Adriana was perfect. She handled Loki’s anxiety perfectly. She stayed in constant contact and sent many photos. We would definitely book her again. After her 10 day in home sitting we couldn’t even tell someone had been in the home as she left it emaculate. We feel she went above and beyond”
“Brittney was a wonderful sitter for our fur baby, she took great care of her! She sent pictures and updates, left the house spotless - we were so pleased and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Tara-Lynn was amazing with my dogs. They felt comfortable with her after a short period of time and she took great care of them while we were away. I would recommend her to anyone who is nervous about leaving their babies as I was - she kept me updated and sent pics. I truly appreciated that I was able to relax and enjoy my time away without worry when it came to my boys.”
About: Hi, I’m Shawn! I have spent the last few years working in a professional doggy daycare and boarding facility. While I love animals, I realized that massive, chaotic pack environments aren't the best fit for my philosophy of care—or for many dogs. I transitioned to independent pet sitting so I could give individual animals the quiet, focused, and low-stress attention they truly deserve. Because of my professional background, I am highly trained in dog body language, safety protocols, and keeping pets calm and happy. Your dog will never have to compete for attention or feel overwhelmed here! I do work part time but i am very interested, thoroughly enjoy working with animals and looking to pet sit/walk/board full time!! Thank you! I have a nice big open yard at my home, I do have 3 cats inside my home. In clients homes i always make sure the boundaries and any feeding/medication instructions are clear and precise!
“Anneke was such a pleasure to work with! Both my dogs loved her, she was prompt and communicative, sent lots of photos and I knew they were in great hands! I will definitely be asking her to help in the future!”
“Amazing sitter! She took such great care of my dog, made sure he got all his meds on time, fed him well, and spent lots of time playing fetch (his favorite!). She also went the extra mile by keeping my place tidy, grabbing my mail, and taking the trash out on pickup day. I came home to a happy dog and a clean house. Couldn’t ask for more—highly recommend!”
“Brianne did an amazing job taking care of our home and pets. We have a dog and 3 cats which one of them is elderly and high maintenance. We also had an unplanned house issue that she handled quickly and professionally. She communicated, sent pics and asked appropriate questions. We came home to everything in order. It’s hard leaving your pets/home in the hands of someone you don’t know, I will definitely use Brianne again!”
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I have just completed my first year of Veterinary Technician school and have done 3 different internships in the field. I am very well versed with simple care, medications, and most importantly love for the animals! My schedule fluctuates very frequently as I have a part time job and im also completeing an internship, however I can easily work my schedule around whatever the animals need! I have a fenced yard with a very friendly pup at home. I can also let your pet in and out of crates, give treats and/or medications, take them on walks, and anything else they may need.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals, including reptiles and rodents. There’s no animal that I don’t know how to not take care of all animals are welcome. I work early in the mornings I work 4 AM to 12 afternoon. I’m able to be there for the afternoon afternoons and nights for your animal and up the road if anything happens. I have saved environment for the animal. I do not have fence,but I do have a backyard that I can walk the dog around or cat around. I do have one cat in my roommate has two but they’re all very friendly.
“Mark was absolutely wonderful! He's reliable, punctual, and so easy to communicate with. He sent thoughtful updates and photos throughout the day, which really put us at ease. Coco was genuinely happy to see him and couldn’t wait to hop in the car for a ride to a nearby dog run. It was clear she felt comfortable and cared for. Knowing Coco was in such great hands while we were skiing at Stratton made all the difference. We’re incredibly grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend Mark to anyone.”
“She is the best with our pups! They adore and she takes really good care of them. Is very careful and attentive with our one dogs allergies, making sure he doesn’t eat his sisters food, which we are so greatful for!”
“Highest praise and accolades to Sadie whom we recently hired to stay with our newly adopted rescue Elkie. We can’t find words to express how satisfied we are with the care and communication we experienced with Sadie. Before our booking date Sadie took it upon herself to visit with us to confirm that she would be a goof fit with our dog. On the day of our departure Sadie showed up early, well before the time we had requested. Our Elkie has a number of issues, the greatest of which is separation anxiety and having Sadie stay in our home to provide comfort and care was our number one priority. Sadie provided everything we had hoped for, and sent us regular updates that allowed us to enjoy our time away without any concern for the needs of our dog. Sadie is a caregiver whom you can trust with you pet and home for your time away. We will absolutely call on her again for future bookings when we have a need to leave our pet home. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Edward
Amber was absolutely amazing in all aspects of her care for our Max. She communicated regularly while we were away with pics and updates of his day to day activities. If she had a question she didn’t hesitate to reach out for feedback. Amber is clearly committed to being an advocate for pets and the excellent care they deserve. We would highly recommend Amber! She stayed at our home do Max would be comfortable and it worked out just great. We would definitely request her again. The Rover experience has been top notch!
Ally was both house and pet sitter while I was away for 10 days. Everything went incredibly well! My two small dogs were able to stay in their own home and keep to their schedule. Ally made sure they were walked and fed and loved in my absence. She kept the house clean and even had the sheets and towels she used washed and in the dryer when I came back. We kept in contact while I was gone by text, and she sent photos of the dogs to me, too. Having Ally with them gave me peace of mind so I could relax and enjoy my vacation. Thank you, Ally!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Edward
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Edward on Rover is $33.3 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 271 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Edward. 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 Fort Edward 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 Fort Edward 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 Fort Edward 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.

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.
