About: I am open to providing walks, check ins, and sitting overnight. I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of our golden retriever for four years now and along those years I’ve helped dog sit for neighbors, friends, and coworkers. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and breeds. From small poodles to bigger labs, I’ve walked and deeply enjoyed taking daytime and overnight care for all. I have open availability throughout the weekends and the week and can work with you depending on specific needs and notice ! Looking forward to provide the best care possible as I know how deeply important that is for pet parents as a golden retriever parent myself! I’m currently working part time so I do have availability’s Mondays and Thursdays as well as weekends as needed. Open to working with most schedules. I am open to drop ins and have experience taking care of dogs overnight in homes as well. Have experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes.
“We had a great experience with Tori! She is reliable, caring, and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly felt comfortable with her. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in such good hands. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!!!”
About: I have 2 years of experience working at a doggy day camp and boarding. I have worked with many different breeds, sizes and personalities of pets. I bring a level of expertise and safety that sets my pet care apart. I am available for full time pet care. I’ll be able to cater to your pets dedicated routines to ensure comfort to you and your pets. I respect your home and your pet’s routines. boundaries. My open availability ensures I never have to rush through a visit, giving your pet my undivided attention and thorough care.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have cared for all kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities, from tiny Chihuahuas to German Shepherds and extra-large Pit Bulls. I’ve worked at animal rescue centers in New York and have experience training dogs. I’ve cared for some of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet, as well as dogs that would growl, snap, or lunge when they felt threatened. Working with dogs of different temperaments taught me to stay calm, read their body language, and give them space when they need it. Beyond dogs, I have experience caring for many other animals. Whether your pet needs a long walk or prefers a quiet visit, I’ll follow their routine that you have for them and care for them like my own. I plan my week around the walks and visits I book, confirming times with you ahead of time. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine for meals, potty breaks, and exercise. Your dog’s walk goes on my calendar like any important appointment, except some clients brings me a tennis ball and refuses to discuss anything else. I follow your care instructions, respect your home, and double-check leashes, doors, and gates because “professional escape artist” looks better on a résumé than in real life. My rescue and dog training experience helps me read body language and know when pets need space. I’ll send updates and photos after each visit, and stick to your treat rules, even if your pet claims you’ve authorized unlimited snacks.

“Kara was amazing with Hershey!! She was so communicative and really made us feel comfortable having someone on our home taking care of our pets! It’s tough to get across all of the quirks of your home and pets but she made our trip more enjoyable! Looking forward to using her again!”
“Julia was wonderful with Benny! She was clear, very communicative and went above and beyond to make sure he felt safe and comfortable with her — he’s a very shy dog but warmed up to her almost instantly. Would absolutely recommend to anyone for any service and would have her watch Benny again in a heartbeat.”

We have no reservations whatsoever in recommending Kelsey for any sitting job she may want to take, any time. Truly a find for Rover ! Rover, make sure no one steals her from you !”
“I highly recommend Donna for any pet sitting needs. She was an amazing sitter and took wonderful care of our three dogs, guinea pig, and fish. Our dogs have become very attached to having someone home since my husband started working from home, so it was a huge relief to know they were happy and calm in Donna's care. Her calm demeanor and warm personality made our dogs very comfortable, and we appreciated the daily photos and messages she sent to keep us updated. We also returned to an immaculate house. Donna’s care truly made our vacation much better. Please do not hesitate to book her for your pet sitting needs.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had dogs and other pets. I’ve also cared for family and friends’ dogs over the years, so I’m comfortable with a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have experience with both playful puppies and senior dogs who may need a little extra patience and care. Whether your dog needs a walk to burn off some energy, a potty break, playtime, fresh food and water, or just some company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own.

I’ll make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times and will always respect your home and follow any instructions you provide.

I’ll also send updates and photos after each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Bridgette is beyond words amazing , we booked her for a medical procedure to watch my pups in home . From our initial conversation it was a match she accommodated me with the time and was understanding as surgery doesn’t let you know until the night before and was there for me every step of the way . She is a beautiful soul with such a love for animals , if there were only more people like her in this world . She is responsible respectful accommodating every single need of your pup from feeding schedules walking special needs and exceptional with every detail . She arrived early and immediately my pups were in love . She sent updates , was respectful of our home and we came back to happy pups that actually cried a little when she left . We are so happy with her as she paid attention to every detail and even cleaned up the toys off the floor before we got home taking into consideration the procedure I had done . We didn’t even ask her to do that but she did . I can’t rave about her enough but what I can say is we booked her for the next 3 days and will only use her going forward when we need the help . Don’t question booking her she’s worth it , she went above and beyond and exceeded expectations. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ thank you Bridgette I think Maverick fell in love with you and Pheonyx adores you as we do too ! We look forward to to our continued relationship. You are simply amazing !!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Halesite
Juliana is absolutely fantastic! She just wrapped up a house-sitting stay at my dad’s house, where she took wonderful care of our dog, Jackson. She has extensive experience working with dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was an added bonus that she lives right nearby. Throughout our trip, she was incredibly communicative and sent us tons of photos of Jackson enjoying his walks and spending time with her. It was so nice to see how happy and well cared for he was! We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Juliana to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and experienced sitter. We are already booking her for our next trip!
Julia took great care of our dogs and cats! She met all of their needs and went above and beyond to play with them, spent extra time than we had paid for, and sent updates with pictures. Our pets seemed a lot calmer coming home than they have when we’ve been away before. I also appreciated that Julia ran things by us before just doing them: she has the right judgment for the role for sure. Additionally, it just so happened one dog got a random cut before we left and she was cautious to watch him and not let it get worse so it was healing better when we got back. I had been nervous about that and she made us feel at ease.
Harrison did a fantastic job caring for our boys! They were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we returned home. Harrison stayed in constant communication, asked all the right questions, and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It’s such a relief to be able to travel knowing your dogs are in good hands. We truly appreciate everything he did. Thank you, Harrison! 🐾
We had such a great experience with Jen! She took wonderful care of both of our pups and our home while we were away, and we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She was communicative, reliable, and clearly gave them lots of love and attention. We’re so glad we found her and will definitely be using her as our go-to sitter moving forward!
To to turn your home and dogs over to GINIA was a real act of faith. Out of one – 10 rating, she earned a 25+ each day brought another video, more affirming statements. My husband and I were so very impressed with her professionalism. She surpassed our expectations. She is kind, capable, and very loving to our fur babies. GINIA is very bright, flexible, and on her own, made good decisions about solving the everyday issues that came up -on her own. My house is clean, safe, and more organized since she was here. My two standard Poodles are very happy. So glad and grateful I found her on rover.com PS she makes everything fun.,,,,,,,,
Sasha was great with Riley and kept her happy and fully exercised while I was out of town! They were extremely helpful and communicative, especially as we had to be creative on how to deal with winter storm Hernando in the midst of their stay. Thanks so much Sasha!
Right from the meet and great Stephanie was extremely attentive taking notes regarding our pups schedule, meal plan, and quirks. She was upfront and let us know things she had going on that she would need to step out for a little bit for during her stay and we were kept well informed throughout our time away with updates and some pictures. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

The average cost of House Sitting in Halesite is $81 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $47 and $94 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 Halesite 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 Halesite 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 Halesite 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.

- 95% 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.
