“Maria is absolutely amazing!!! ❤️ She took such incredible care of my anxious pup while she was sick, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She made sure she got all her medications, kept me updated with pictures about every hour, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. This was the first trip I’ve taken where my dog didn’t experience anxiety, which says so much about how comfortable and loved Maria made her feel! 🐾 I will absolutely be booking with Maria again instead of boarding. If you’re looking for someone who is caring, attentive, and treats your dog like their own, Maria is the BEST! I can’t recommend her enough! ❤️”
“Allana did great with my puppy! She was super flexible with what we needed and made sure to be attentive with my puppy both inside the house and when she took him on walks. He was comfortable enough to eat, sleep, and play with her! We came back to a puppy who was out for the rest of the night! It can be really hard to leave your puppy with someone, especially in your own home, (my puppy is only 4 months) but allana did a great job and I’d hire her again.”
About: I am a military veteran. I have had dogs pretty much my entire life. I have been taking care of them as long as I can remember. When I was about 5years old I started with caring for my dog girl by feeding her. When I got older I started taking her on walks, playing games with her, along with feeding her. When I became an adult I decided to get my beloved baby boy. He is a border collie husky mix, and is very energetic. I have had him for 7years now. I have personally trained him and I am still training him to this day. I also, ended up getting recently 2 other dogs. A female puppy named Iceberg and a male German Shepherd named Luke. If you are looking for someone to walk your dog. I’m your girl. I love walking my own dog. I love meeting other dogs as well. I know how important it is for a dog to go on their walks. I know how important it is for dogs to get their energy out and have that stimulation the outdoors creates for them. I also, will do drop ins. I believe it is very important when dropping in to visit a dog for them to feel safe and comfortable. I want them to have the best time they can when they are with me. I am currently working another job. My availability for walking includes the following: - My hours that work best for me is Monday through Friday 9am through 3pm. Saturday and Sunday 9am to 6pm - Most summer months - Most holidays - Most weekends My availability for drop in includes the following: - The times that work best for me are between 9am to 3pm and 9pm to 10pm Monday through Friday if I am available. 9am-10pm Saturday and Sunday - Most summer months - Most holidays - Some weekends drop off Friday or Saturday evening. Pick up Saturday or Sunday during the day or evening. I am a gentle and caring sitting. I have an outdoor kennel for the fur babies to play in and a decent size house for them to play as well. I believe when training treats are the best way for motivation. Redirection is a great way for a pup to stop chewing. Sometimes I use distraction to get them to stop when dealing with a behavior that is unwanted.
About: I’ve always loved animals. I’ve taken care of my neighbors pets whenever they would go on vacation. I’m loving a caring. I will take care of them as if they were my one. I’m currently working part-time so pet sitting fits perfectly in my schedule! I also enjoy going out on walks so your pet would be the perfect company! I adapt to whatever you need. I prefer taking care of your pets at your home! That way your pet will feel comfortable an at home!
“I can’t say enough great things about Laura. I couldn’t be happier with her sitting with my two pups during the holiday weekend. She went above and beyond to make my pups and myself comfortable. Laura sent frequent updates, always kept me informed . And my pups loved her!! I will use Laura for all my sitting needs. She is the best beyond happy .”

“Courtney is my go to sitter for house sitting. My timid cats love her, she's great with the dogs, and she takes such good care of my house. I know my babies are in good hands when I leave them with her. Great communication and great pictures. Highly recommend!”
“Caroline was amazing with our dog and cats! They took to her immediately, and she is very good with animals! She sent photos and videos showing how much fun they had while we were gone. Having her watch everyone really put our minds at ease while we were away! Amazing experience for us!!”
About: I have a very well happily trained service animal that helps other animals and people keeping everyone happy. My goal is to always keep the animal happy while being trained. Every walk is to bring happiness to the animal. Every drop in visit is to bring an animal a peace of mind an happiness. My hope is to always bring the owner a peace of mind along with the animal an a genuine happiness at the end of the day so that every animal and owner can feel at peace. Overnight stays I hope to just give peace at mind to Owners and animals, if there are every any concerns I will always send photos of the animals doing daily things at their usual times. I am currently in school for my bachelors and work a full time job. However, I always make time to take my pups on close to a mile walk a day. Along with 30 min of training on necessary manners and any tricks we are working on at the time. They get fed 2 times a day with appropriate vitamins and supplements for each of my animals! I always check with owners about any toys that they have along with any children toys in the home that I need to be aware of or smaller items they could choke on or get into.
About: I have 9 years of experience taking care of dogs, I enjoy that they are happy, I try to give them love, care and protection Currently I can offer this service from 8 am-2pm and at night (depending on what can be agreed) on weekdays, on weekends my schedule is usually longer so I will be able to adapt to the schedule you need. I hope that any change can be notified in time so that our communication is always ideal I know that walks are a special moment for dogs therefore they will always be the leaders, I do not rush them, I allow their sense of smell to be free (with caution), play with them either inside or outside the house and continue supporting if the dog is in training. If your pet is a little crazy, don't worry, I'll be patient so that your pet is happy and safe

“My cat, who is normally shy with people, felt comfortable with Shawn right away. He spent a lot of quality time with her and I could tell through the photos he sent that she was relaxed and content. He was also prompt in communicating by text. Shawn has a great rapport with animals and I would definitely hire him again in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Half Moon
We loved having Chloe stay at our home to watch our German shepherd. She was a great communicator from the start, very reliable, kind and patient. Our dog is stranger reactive and Chloe did absolutely amazing meeting him for the first time. I was never once worried while she was watching him and we feel so fortunate to have found her. Looking forward to booking with her again!
Andrea was fantastic! She took wonderful care of Owen and Aster while we were away, and knowing they were in such good hands completely relieved our stress. Beyond the pets, she took excellent care of our home and was incredibly respectful of our space. We will definitely be rebooking with her!
Emanuel is excellent!! He is trustworthy and wonderful with our 2 senior dogs. Very reliable and caring. He is our new ‘go-to’ sitter!! Want someone to care for your animals and your home. Emanuel will not only be a good choice but goes the extra mile! 5 stars all the way!!

The average cost of House Sitting in Half Moon is $45 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $67 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 Half Moon 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 Half Moon 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 Half Moon 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.
