About: I've taken care of and trained(not professionally )all types of dogs. I'm able to give insulin shots to diabetic dogs as well as help with leash manners and basic training . I am available to do walks and drop in visits starting at 3pm Sunday -Thursday and am free all day Fridays and Saturdays. Can house sit as well on Friday and Saturday provided it is ok to bring my dog with. I believe pets are family members and should be treated as such. My personal dog goes everywhere where I go, weather permitting of course. Any dog I look after/take care of will be treated as a family member
“Karla is amazing! I am so thankful we found someone we can trust to stay at our home and watch our dog when we travel. She sends picture updates, is great with communication, spoils our girl while we are gone, and keeps our home fresh for when we return! Highly recommend her 😊”
“Erran was fantastic! If I could leave more than 5 stars I would. She really has a way with animals and is so kind and thoughtful! She took wonderful care of our house, our pups and even our geckos and frogs! Everything was in perfect order when we returned and the dogs are so happy! She really went above and beyond more than any other sitter ever has! We really truly appreciate you, Erran and thank you so much for taking such great care of our dogs and our house while we were away for the last week and a half! We can’t wait to have you back again! Thank you so much.”
“Oh gosh where to start! She was amazing. Definitely wore the boys out which they LOVED. She even left the boys some toys and treats. Would definitely use Pricilla again!”
“Katelyn is one of the most trustworthy people I have ever met. She has house sat for us which included taking care of our 7 year old Great Dane and 11 month old Golden Retriever. She followed every instruction given and kept in communication with us throughout our trip. She was extremely respectful to our home and left it in better condition than we had left it. It was very important to us to have our pets stay in the comfort of our own home, as boarding kennels can be stressful. Being able to have Katelyn stay at our home at an affordable rate gave us so much peace of mind. She loved our animals like her own and we will most definitely be using and recommending her services again in the future!”
“Julia was great! She took good care of our two dogs, always replied promptly to communications, kept us updated on how things were going, and left the house in great shape. We would happily use her again.”
“Brooke was great! She updated me on how Mocha was and checked in on my travel plans to ensure Mocha was taken care of. He was relaxed enough to chill and nap and I came back to a happy boy :)”
“Eileen is amazing! My little particular pooch, Lucy, adored her from the moment of our initial Meet & Greet. Eileen stayed at my home with Lucy for 3 nights. She is caring and attentive - feels now like she’s family. Such a comfort to leave my Lucy with such a great sitter.”
“Natashia was fantastic. She clearly loves and cares for animals, and our cat Bean Bean was extremely pleased with his new friend. She was responsive and helpful, and left our apartment somehow cleaner than when we left it. She even tacked on an extra day to cover our delayed flight. Just a great person.”
“Our two pups liked Kimberly from the moment she walked thru the front door. We felt very comfortable having her at our home. When we returned the dogs were happy and our home was spotless. Very pleased”
About: I have professional experience dog sitting and walking and treat each animal as if they were my own. I've experienced a large variety of breeds, ages, and sizes. I pay attention to details and send a text report after every visit, including adorable pictures. I am very aware of my surroundings and do everything I can to ensure a safe and enjoyable walk. If you have a feline friend in addition to your canine I take care of their food, water, and cat box as needed. I make sure your pet has fresh water and food or medicine if necessary, as well as change pee pads. I give small treats when appropriate as well. I supply my own treats and poop bags but also respect requests for no treats. :)
“We are so fortunate to have found Jessica. Our big dogs did great while we were out of town. We were kept updated and she took great care of our home and gentle giants while we were away.”
About: I started a dog sitting business in high school just to spend time doing what I love. I bought a puppy in college and it was amazing learning to raise it. I love pets and want them treated with the right amount of care. I work part time at the airport while Im out here in Montana and have a very flexible schedule. A young single man who loves animals and has plenty of time to give to them. I have a lot of energy for those through the roof dogs and can also just chill on the couch if need be. Whatever is necessary for your dog, I am willing to offer. A strong military background has molded me to show respect and care to anything you leave me with.
About: Ive had a pet my entire life. I grew up taking care of dogs and cats and love them both very much! I know how much care and reassurance I would need trusting a stranger with my pet, so I hope to provide that in anyway possible. My work schedule is generally 8am - 5pm Sunday through Wednesday. I’d be happy to chat about what your pet might need, and how I can accommodate that. I take care of pets the way I’d want someone to take care of my pet. I think it’s important to spend quality time with them and be attentive to their needs always.
“Whitney was absolutely amazing! Our dog is very shy and does not do well in kennels, so we gave this a try. Louis was nervous at first but warmed right up to Whitney and she kept us constantly updated with reports and pictures while we were away. On top of that, the house was spotless and the laundry was already done! Thanks Whitney for everything!”
“Sherri went above and beyond for our fur babies while we were away. It’s truly hard for us to feel at ease when leaving them because they are like our kids, but we felt so comfortable with Sherri. She sent more updates and photos in the first evening than most sitters have sent us for whole trips! We are already planning to book Sherri again and would highly recommend her.”
About: I'm 18 years old but I've taken care of all sorts of animals my entire life, cats, dogs, lizards, you name it! I've also had 6 dogs and 1 cat myself, which have all grown up and old in a happy and fun environment! I do not live in a neighborhood, so i have a large fenced yard along with about 4 acres of field to play in, along with a lake near me for hot summer days. Given all of the pets i've taken care of, I have great experience in dogs and cats of all ages, puppies, senior dogs, etc. I am currently a senior in high school at Glacier, however I only have one class that is completely online, so i am home all day everyday! Along with school i work a part-time nanny job in the AM Mondays and Thursdays, but it is super flexible so i can meet your needs. As you can see i have a very open schedule that is easy to work with, and i am home most of my days which is perfect to watch your animals. I'm using my love for animals as a little source of extra income! I have a large fenced and protected yard with an easily accessible dog door on both the top and bottom floor of my home. I do have two of my own fur babies, but they are trained and are used to being around all different types of dogs. However, if your dog/ cat is not good with other dogs and cats I am able to keep them separated by the floors in my house, so that would be no problem.
“Jessica is one of the most attentive and communicative sitters we’ve ever worked with! She provided frequent updates and photos and both my babies (a dog and a cat) looked so happy and content in every picture. We had multiple days in the high 90s while we were out of town and she made sure Moose got out early in the mornings or late in the evenings, and even did his puzzles with him during the day to get some energy out. 10/10 would recommend her to take care of your babies!”
“Emily house sat for us and our 2 fur babies! She left our home spotless and my two little ones enjoyed her company. She is professional and trustworthy! I would highly recommend her :)”

We felt very lucky to find Katelyn for sitting our dogs. Katelyn has a very responsible professional spirit. Our dogs look very happy when I got home. They seem to have developed a bond with Katelyn. So glad to see that. And during her, Katelyn has been a grest guest by taking care of the house and watering plants as a favor. Will be our first choice for any future need for dog sitting if she is available.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Halfmoon on Rover is $34.41 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 147 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Halfmoon. 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 Halfmoon 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 Halfmoon 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 Halfmoon 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Halfmoon. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
