“I’ve had family members and friends watch Teeto before but no one takes care of him with the care and affection as Robin does ❤️ she is truly the best with our Teeto and I will 100% always recommend Robin!”
“We had a great experience with Claudia's house sitting services. She was truly awesome! We loved the numerous pictures and very detailed updates she sent while we were away. She took excellent care of our babies and our home. We would definitely book her services again in the future.”
“Gypsie and Robby are the best! They love on my pets as if they were their own and the house always looks even better than I left it when I come home. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a dependable, loving and caring person that wants to provide a loving service to your fur baby. Have raised 6 golden retrievers and 13 golden babies . Have attended puppy training and dog training classes. Have patience and love for all fur babies. I will travel as far as Snohomish , Woodinville, Duvall areas. I am retired looking for some fur babies to care for during the week while you are work to drop in and care for your baby. Sometimes some pets are good with drop in visits during vacation and dont need someone 24/7 a drop in works. Sometimes 2/3 visits sometimes works for vacation days depending on your pet. I am a mature individual that would respect your home during drop in visit to feed, potty break, love and play and walk if needed.
“Jennifer took excellent care of our dog, cats, and home while we were gone. She kept us updated with messages and pictures the whole time. We felt very comfortable leaving our fur babies in her care.”
“Serenity was truly exceptional with our senior girl, and we are so grateful for the level of care she provided. From the moment we left, she made sure we felt at ease. We never leave our dogs, and this was so hard to do but she sent regular updates with photos and videos so we could see how comfortable and happy our girl was. These updates meant a lot to us considering our girl is older and needs a little extra attention. Beyond caring for our dog, Serenity grabbed our mail and kept our home incredibly clean. Walking back into a spotless house after traveling was a gift and it speaks volumes about her respect for our space and her professionalism. It was very clear Serenity loves pet sitting! She was patient, gentle, attentive, and treated our little girl like family. We felt completely comfortable leaving our girl in her hands and we'd book again without hesitation. Anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and truly outstanding sitter would be lucky to have her. Thank you, Serenity! We truly appreciate you!”
“Rebecca and her daughters were fantastic. They took great care of our pups and house. Plenty of pictures were sent. Our dogs are very loud and nervous and they took great care to make them comfortable. Highly recommend.”
“Holly was fantastic with our animals (2 cats, a dog, and a pond)! While we were away on our 8 day trip she sent us some photos, which helped us know they were in good hands. And when we came back, they were only slightly perturbed at our absence, which is to be expected. Would totally have her watch our animals and house again!”
“Our second time with Alona and it won’t be our last. She is the best. Takes care of our home and our boys and we are able to have that weight off our shoulders while enjoying family vacations. She celebrated one of our boys birthdays and sent us updates around the clock. We came home to a tidy house and happy tired pups. Can’t ask for anything better!!”
“Emily did such a great job with our 3 dogs at our house! She sent lots of photos to keep us updated and spent all of her time with them! We will definitely be rebooking with Emily for future trips!”
“Stef wasn't available but was able to set us up with her partner, Lacey. Both of them stay connected and kept us updated on our senior dog. They were both really calm people so I think that helped a lot with my easily agitated dog. Highly recommend!”
“This is my second time booking Tricia. She is great with my older dog and gives him a lot of love & attention. I feel at ease being away from home & him with her in charge. She’s great with daily updates as well! Would definitely book again.”
“Robert was ABSOLUTELY fabulous! He was patient, thoughtful, and really communicative. From the moment we requested a sitter until after the service was complete, he was swift to respond, sent lots of pictures, and kept us updated on all the pet care rituals. He did not flinch when the breaker needed to be reset during a housesit, and he took such wonderful care of our tankgirl, Bailey. 5 stars, 2 thumbs way up, and a 3 snaps in Z formation! Highly recommend.”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 14, I have watched all sorts of pets with different needs and personalities. I actually helped deliver my dog bear. I have taken care of birds, cats, dogs, fish, plants, children, and always received positive feedback. I have taken care of reactive animals, animals with anxiety, medication needs, I’ve taken care of older animals and young animals. I am planning on going to college in the fall for marine biology, I have a car and am willing to drive. I am currently unemployed and am looking to find some solid ways to make money for college by doing something I love. I will cater to your pets needs and do whatever needs to be done to give you and your pets a stress free environment. I can take them to appointments, I know how to crate, give injections, I will follow how YOU want the animal to be cared for, whether that’s by giving them space or attention.
“Brandy was amazing with our dog, River, and cat, Reese! She sent lots of photos and updates, gave River his meds perfectly, and took such great care of both of them. We even had a scheduling mix-up on our end, and Brandy was so kind, flexible, and understanding.”
“Paris was fantastic. So sweet when she met our Gracie…who loved her. She was attentive and responsive when we messaged and took loving care of our baby. It eases the mind to know that your fur babies are being taken care of and loved. We will definitely have Paris watch Gracie next time we need a dog sitter. Also, she watched Gracie in our home and left it tidy and neat🩷”

FAQs for House Sitting - Halford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,767 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Halford. 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 Halford 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 Halford 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 Halford 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.
