“Maria was so sweet and so flexible when it came to my babies. I have a lot of issues finding someone to watch both of my babies, as some people are nervous because they are pits. Maria treated my two girls as her own. My house was left spotless and she even left the cutest note about her stay with them. I definitely recommend her.”
“Chloe did a great job watching my dog. He was fine at first but later got a little defensive and uneasy. She handled it really well, figured out how to work with him, and kept him comfortable. I really appreciated the frequent photo updates and check-ins they gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a patient and reliable sitter”
“Jacob stayed with our dogs for Easter weekend while we left to visit family. He made our trip much more carefree, knowing the dogs were in good hands! We had good communication throughout the weekend and received lots of pictures. The dogs looked worn out from fetch and playing, which is always needed for our pack. We would definitely recommend and use Jacob again!”

“One of the best pet sitting experiences we’ve ever had! He was so accommodating and kept us updated with pictures and videos! Boss made a new friend for sure and we will definitely be booking with him again!”

In your home, I'm a well-mannered guest. I don't have to stay in your home if you don't need me to. Your animals will be treated with respect.

“Maya took great care of my baby for the weekend and updated me frequently. She stayed overnight & made sure he had lots of outside time and cuddle time while I was gone! We love her!”

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.

“Issac was an amazing pet and house sitter! Taking care of 5 dogs and a cat is no easy task. He kept us up to date with everything going on with the animals and sent us pictures regularly. If anything came up he was quick to let us know. Highly recommend Isaac to anyone. We will definitely use him again in the future.”
About: I personally have a cat and dog of my own and I’ve taken care of them, I am very precise when it comes to my babies. I will treat your fur babies just like they were my own. I believe every pet is unique in their own way, that what makes them adorable. Pet care fit into my daily or even weekly routine by getting me out there around all kinds of fur babies. I currently go to school at ECU so it would be a great stress reliever just to play or walk with pets. I would be available for weekends and on weekdays, preferably Monday after 2 and Fridays free all day unless booked otherwise. I would care for them in my home by making sure they feel safe and comfortable to roam around without any hesitation. In clients homes I would make sure the client feels secured that their pets are in the right hands sending photo updates while I am there if needed.
“Brittany was great with our 3 dogs and very communicative, we received lots of updates and pictures while we were out of town. Within a week’s notice she was able to come meet them and agree to watch them for the weekend. We would book her again & highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Half Moon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Half Moon on Rover is $45 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 305 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Half Moon. 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 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 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.
