“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.”
“Chan took very good care of my pet during his stay, kept me up to date, sent me pics throughout and is very tidy. I was very comfortable being away with my pet under his care. He went above and beyond to communicate with me to check on potential flight delays to ensure I would be home on time. I will def use Chan's service again.”
“John is the very best of them when it comes to house/ pet sitting! His thoughtfulness and loving nature shine through allowing us to thoroughly enjoy our time away knowing our pets are loved and well cared for. Booking John for repeat sessions is a no brainer!”
“Alyssa did a wonderful job and took such great care of our dog! She left our home in stellar condition! She sent us lots of photos and updates, which was much appreciated! She walked our dog and did lots of play time! We would definitely recommend Alyssa!!”
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: What sets me apart is that I have experience caring for a variety of animals, not just dogs and cats. I currently care for 4 cats, 3 dogs, fish, a turtle, and a jumping spider, so I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and personalities. I’m attentive to details and take the time to make sure each animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m especially patient with animals that may be nervous or take time to warm up to someone new. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, medication or care instructions, cleaning routines, and providing plenty of playtime, enrichment, and attention. My goal is to care for your pets the same way I would want someone to care for mine: with patience, responsibility, and lots of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for my own animals. I’m used to keeping consistent feeding and cleaning schedules, making time for play and attention, and paying close attention to changes in their behavior or needs. I enjoy being around animals and would be happy to make caring for your pets a regular part of my day while giving them the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I care for pets by following their normal routines and paying close attention to their individual needs, personalities, and comfort levels. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or in their own home, I make sure they receive the appropriate feeding, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and attention they’re used to. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions for feeding schedules, medications, cleaning, and other specific care needs. I also understand that some pets need time to warm up to someone new, so I’m patient and never force interaction. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away, while also respecting their home and keeping things clean and orderly.
About: I've cared for dogs and other pets for many years, including feeding, walking, grooming, cleaning, and providing enrichment. I have hands-on experience with dogs, personalities, and needs, and I'm trained in dog body language, learning theory, basic manners, introductions, advanced skills, and unwanted behaviors. Through volunteering at Paws of War ENC, P.A.W.S. Animal Shelter, Adoption First Animal Rescue, and caring for pets for friends, family, and others, I've developed a patient, compassionate approach to animal care. I'm dependable, attentive, and committed to keeping every pet safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. I'm available Friday, Sat, Sun, Mon & Tues (each day after 2 pm) to give your pets devoted time. I am available from 6 am to 10 pm on Wednesdays. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have experience with pet sitting and dog training, and I understand the importance of maintaining routines, reinforcing positive behavior, and providing patient compassionate care. Whether caring for your pet at your home or during walks and visits, I'll follow your instructions closely, provide plenty of exercise, playtime, mental stimulation, and affection, and ensure your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for. I can also administer medications, accommodate special care needs, and crate your dog if you request it.
“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!”
“Kelly was great! Are pups were well loved on and she was great with giving updates and asking questions to make sure that our fur babies got everything they needed. 10/10 would reccommend and hope to work with her again!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for them. I previously helped care for 4 dogs, over 10 cats, and 3 horses, so I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, and needs. I also have experience working in an animal shelter, where I cared for and handled a variety of animals. In addition, I pet sit for my uncle when needed, where I care for his 3 dogs. I recently moved and now have 2 of my cats with me, but I still have plenty of experience from caring for a larger group of animals. I understand how important it is to be reliable, patient, and attentive, and I treat every pet like my own to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My schedule is currently flexible as I’m in the process of settling into a new area. I’ll be coordinating availability around my husband’s work schedule, but I’m open to dog walking, drop-ins, and pet sitting when I’m available. I’m happy to communicate and work with pet owners to find times that work best, and I’ll always be upfront and reliable with scheduling. I always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort. I follow any routines, feeding schedules, and instructions exactly as given. I’m very patient and attentive, and I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos.
“We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment we met Cindy, we felt confident that our pets would be in great hands, and she exceeded every expectation. Leaving our animals is never easy, especially with a puppy who struggles with separation anxiety and a cat who absolutely adores his people. Knowing that she was here with them gave us such incredible peace of mind while we were away. She was patient, attentive, and genuinely caring with each of our pets, taking the time to understand their individual personalities and needs. When we returned home, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for, and our cat was his usual affectionate self. It was obvious that they received plenty of love, attention, and companionship while we were gone. The updates and communication throughout our trip were wonderful and helped us feel connected to our pack even from a distance. It is such a gift to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and we are so grateful for the care Cindy provided. We would absolutely book with Cindy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Watson, Merlin, and Ainsworth!”
About: I’ve spent the past 13 years working in animal welfare, and caring for animals has truly become my passion. My background includes working as an Animal Control Officer and as an Animal Care Technician in an animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience with pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m knowledgeable in animal behavior, safety, medication administration (if applicable), and providing compassionate, individualized care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own because I know they’re family. I’m currently unemployed as I just moved to the area and waiting to start working at a new shelter, so I have plenty of free times As someone who was a previous animal control officer, I always make sure animals are in a safe environment since they would be in my care
“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!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting cats, dogs, and hamsters for the majority of my life. I’m very good with dogs and cats. Both of my dogs are well trained. I’m currently working remotely and attending online school. This will allow me to give your pets a great experience and loving care!

About: Hi, I'm Ashlynn! I've been passionate about caring for animals since I was 10 years old.

Whether it's walking, feeding, or just spending quality time, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Looking forward to meeting your furry friends! For in home care: I work Monday-Friday 9am-4pm.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
