Top rated Halfmoon house sitters

“Alexis was great. She stayed with Lady and took great care of her. Her schedule allowed her to take her out 5 times per day. She also fed our turtle each day and sent daily pictures of both pets. When we returned home, everything was in order. The house was as we left it and our pets were content.”


“Jenna and Aiden were absolutely a dream! My dogs were well cared for. We came home to happy healthy dogs and a house in better shape than when we left. They absolutely went above and beyond. They gave us updates on the dogs with pictures. We will be using them again!”


“Rima did an amazing job taking care of my two pups and cat. She gave them tons of attention and love and regularly gave updates on how they were doing. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs to have their pets in a safe and loving environment when they travel!”



“Lauren stayed with our dog while we were away for a few days. She is very nice, prompt, and professional. She sent pictures and kept us updated while we were gone. We came home to a happy dog. We got back later than we expected due to airline issues and she was very accommodating by staying until we got home. I highly recommend her.”


“Michelle is the best! I have had her house & pet sit for me numerous times. She is always reliable and communicates quickly. It's nice that I can travel knowing that my Paisley is well taken care of!”



“Linda went above and beyond taking care of our pups while we were out of town for the night. We had a last minute schedule change due to an emergency and Linda was responsive and flexible. We have two fussy eaters and Linda was patient and tentative with frequent updates to ensure they both ate. We also loved all of the photos we received of our puppies happily snuggling while we were away! We would absolutely recommend Linda to anyone looking for an experienced and professional dog sitter!”


“Mary-Kate is a kind and professional sitter. She was eager to learn about our ducks and took great care with them and our dog. We’d definitely book her again!”


“Amanda took excellent care of my two senior dogs. I really appreciate the daily log she kept and the pictures of them she sent me. Maxwell’s eyes, which required drops administered 2X daily looked better than ever. I will definitely contact Amanda again.”



“Evelyn was fantastic with my senior dog, and pup that can be lazy and have spurts of energy. Additionally, she was great with our cats, giving very detailed updates throughout the trip. I really appreciated the level of care, the attention to details, and the extra mile she went to ensure a smooth trip for not only her but myself. Incredibly grateful to have found her!”


About: I’ve cared for families pets (dogs and cats), whenever needed. This includes walks, over night stays, baths, feeding, medication distribution and potty breaks. I’m a recent kitten-mom, so I’m well-versed in this area. I’m a work from home employee (Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), so I’d love to spend time with your pet(s) during and after these hours. I enjoy going for long walks after work as well, so why do it alone! I follow all rules set by the client and will pick up all messes throughout my visit (from their pet). If their pet has a certain amount of times needed to be let out (at certain times), I follow that plan. This goes for all other orders!

“Shannon is awesome! She looked after our 5 month old puppy and two cats while we were gone for a weekend. She took great care of them and sent picture updates which was really nice! She also left our house so clean and organized. Lovely! Looking forward to having her again for future trips.”


“Leo was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Oliver. He wasn't used to caring for big dogs (Great Pyrenees mix), but they bonded right away. Leo kept me updated the entire time I was away, asked good questions to make sure he was keeping Oliver's routine and he left my house incredibly neat. I would strongly urge you to book Leo!”


About: Hi there! I'm Bree, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and loved when you’re away. That’s why I always communicate clearly with pet parents to understand their needs before taking up a job. I want the best experience for all parties. I can send regular updates, photos, and even a few videos to keep you in the loop! I'm currently working 3 days a week, usually Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays from 8 am to 3 pm at the latest. Pet care can fit into my schedule very well, depending on the needs and wants of the owners and pets. I am very flexible and can adjust accordingly Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet with the same level of love, respect, and attention I give my own. In your home, I do my best to keep your pet’s routine consistent—mealtimes, walks, play, and quiet time—because I know how important structure is for their well-being. I’m careful to follow your instructions exactly, and I always double-check details like feeding guidelines, medication, and home security (doors, gates, etc.). I also send regular updates if needed, so you know your pet is happy and safe while you're away.

“Christina had once again taken such good care of my muffin Iorek for 8 days! I’m so grateful for the peace of mind she brings when I have to go away!”


“Jodi is amazing. Will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future ! Great communication and having her watch our pets was a perfect. We happily enjoyed our wedding knowing they were safe and loved.”


“Sarah is wonderful! She is communicative, she sent daily photos and texts while I was away. Eggsy was happy and safe when I returned home. 😊. Also, she is very respectful of my home, which I appreciate.”



About: Its been 3 years since I’ve last been on Rover due to having a small child so I’m starting out on here all over again ☺️ My daughter is in school and camp now so I have time to help owners who don’t have a flexible schedule make sure their loved animals are taken care of. I have a big dog of my own who stays in the yard most the day or on the couch! He plays great with other dogs & is also a lover. I am a free spirt. I love hiking , trails, or just walking in the neighborhood. I offer hair brushing, bathing animals, nail clipping/grinding, and can brush their teeth if needed. I love taking dogs swimming at lakes and streams, running, and exercising animals are also some other fun things I offer. I’m full of energy & love animals- my favorite animals are horses & dogs. I am a self employed hairstylist so I have time to help since I make my own work schedules. Since I do not have a set work schedule if my services are needed for longer visits I can definitely make that happen. I’m able to start today or tomorrow and am very excited to help with your little family members 🐶🐱Thank you very much Ali Gant I am self employed so my hours are very flexible. I can also run home fast or to your house anytime to let an animal out for their feeding or walk. I have a safe environment and work on safety in others homes. The collar and leash will be put on before the front door opens so no running out the door is possible. Practice sitting before the door opens is a positive start to any walk.

About: I have pet sat on multiple occasions for friends and acquaintances alike since I was in undergrad. I have looked after dogs, cats, rabbits, and even goats! What makes me unique compared to other pet sitters is my 3.5 months of professional experience in an animal shelter setting — both with volunteering and handling animals. I had to complete training to work with the rescue dogs in the fall of 2024, where I learned techniques such as “Fancy Footwork” and “Click for Quiet.” Now I continue to implement what I was taught in my in-laws’s dog’s training. Additionally, as of March 2025, I've obtained a Fear Free Shelters Course certification, which specializes in recognizing animal behavior I do work an 8-4 in Voorheesville, NY Monday through Friday most weeks, but I do get time off for most federal holidays. I could petsit during a 3-day weekend (and on Election Day and Veterans Day) in addition to being available on Friday evenings and all day on Saturdays and Sundays I do have a rabbit, so to ensure his safety and comfort, I would have to come to your home if I were to house sit/petsit/dog walk. However, I do always see to it that every pet I'm watching's basic needs are met (they have food, water, they are not too hot or too cold, they can go outside/use their bathroom area, they're cleaned up after) and then some. When it's okay with the owner, sometimes I like to bring over a treat or a new toy for them. I would consider myself to be a novice dog handler, so it would be best if I didn't watch any reactive dogs (e.g. those who are leash reactive, dog reactive, noise reactive, or have stranger danger). I am familiar and comfortable with Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Doodle-mixes, French Bulldogs, Dachshunds, Great Danes and Shepherds. If your dog is a mixed-breed, that would not be a deal breaker for me. As long as they are friendly and show no aggression towards new people, I think we're going to have a great time!

“You're the best thanks again!”


About: I have loved dogs since I was a young child chasing Oscar at my grandparents' farm. To this day, if I see a dog I have to introduce myself. I have cared for dogs from six week old puppies to elder dogs in their final days. I also have experience with cats, having lived with four of them at one time. I am retired but fit and healthy. I am available most days and will stay with you pets overnight as well. I hope to turn pet care into a 25-30 hour/week job. I am unable to bring a pet into my home. For pet care in your home, I would closely follow your instructions. I do believe that play time and outdoor time are critical for pets fit for such activities. I want you to be very happy with my care and to request me again!

“We had an amazing experience with Brianna as our dog sitter! She was right on time, super friendly, and clearly has a great way with animals. She took care of our two dogs—Master Blaster (our giant Saint Bernard) and Big Pun (our tiny but mighty Chihuahua)—for three days, and everything went perfectly. Brianna kept us updated with photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pups were happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to watch their pets!”

Ali I also very organized and will follow through on all your instructions for the care of your dog. There isn’t a better or more qualified dog sitter than Ali!”


Jessica S.
“Jessica is great! She’s very trustworthy and puts caring for the animals first. She follows any guidance you give her exactly and really treats them like they’re her own. I don’t trust people with my animals easily (dogs, cat, horse), but she’s one of the few that I do. If something goes wrong and she can’t get in touch with me, I’d trust her judgement with a vet too.”
