“Robin is amazing with our senior dog Teeto and she’s definitely going to be our go-to moving forward! Very punctual and communicative, she provided updates on how Teeto was doing so I always felt assured that he’s receiving great care. She left our place immaculate and I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you Robin ❤️”
“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!”
“Claudia was absolutely wonderful with my dogs!! She sent me pictures and videos everyday along with an update. I appreciate her attentiveness with my dogs and making them comfortable and happy while we were away. The house was nice and clean and the doggies were happy and well loved! Couldn't have asked for a better person to watch over our babies and house while we were away!!”

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.

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.”
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.
“Serenity is a wonderful communicator who made us feel at ease, house sitting and taking care of our furry ones! She was very kind and even took time and energy to leave the house better than she found it! I hope to have many more bookings with Serenity in the future!”
“Hiring Stef was our first dog/house sitting experience. Glad that I went with my hunch that she would be the perfect fit. Stef was amazing with our little Pomeranian. She left the house so nice and clean upon our return, and was an amazing communicator. Plus, Stef is just a really nice person who is so great and easy to work with. Highly recommend!!”
“We are so grateful that Tricia could watch our pets for a whole week! She was very communicative throughout our trip which put me at ease that our fur babies were in good hands. She sent lots of pictures which I loved and left our house clean and pets happy. Would definitely book again. Thank you Tricia!”
“Brandy was amazing!! She was able to help us in a pinch, and was so easy to work with and very communicative. Nala is a nervous gal, but Brandy was so quick to make her feel at ease. We will definitely be booking Brandy again! ❤️”
“Miss Holly was amazing with our animals, they were very well taken care of. Everything was exactly as we left it upon our return. I would definitely recommend her and would use her again if the need arises.”
“Elisa is truly wonderful at what she does. From communication to updates to giving our fur babies all the love and attention they need. I can't recommend her enough! Thank you so much Elisa!”
“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.”
“Carlynn took great care of our pups and home while we were away for a week. She kept us up to date with pics and is a great communicator. She respected our home and even helped with a little laundry before she left. When we got home our boys were happy and we were happy. We hope to book with her again in the future.”
“Brandi is a wonderful house guest and dog sitter. She was very respectful of the house and left it nice and tidy. Both of our dogs loved her! She sent lots of updates and pictures and was very communicative. She helped our eldest dog with his arthritis shots and provided lots of love and care for both dogs. A great experience overall. We would highly recommend Brandi to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Paris took excellent care of our dog! She sent us pictures everyday which we loved and looked forward to ❤️ Our dog had an ear infection when we dropped her off, Paris administered the medication as requested, and her ears looked fantastic when we picked her up. We well definitely be calling on her again!”
“I hired Sally to sit for my adult dog, puppy and cat in my home. My adult dog instantly loved her during our meet and greet and she's a fantastic judge of character so that gave us great confidence that she was a kind and compassionate individual. Sally was early on the day of and happily stayed late when our concert went longer than expected. She was great with all the animals, and sent pictures/updates throughout the evening. I would highly recommend Sally for your pet sitting needs!”
About: I grew up with a Pomeranian. I was also in a long term relationship where we had a Pomeranian and medium sized mixed dog and even a Savannah cat who was a menace but I had a lot of patience with her even though she liked to scratch and bite me as a kitten haha. I think she was only 2 generations away from a wild Serval cat and thats why she was extra crazy haha but we raised her well! After the relationship, she took the pets and I miss the pets so I would like to play with and walk some pets haha. I think I’d be a great sitter because I’m a homebody and I don’t go a lot of places and I also don’t like leaving dogs because I feel too bad for them when they’re alone. I’m doing remote contract work as a web developer so taking care of pets would be a piece of cake to include in my schedule! I am very gentle with pets and I like to play and walk with them. When I had my own pets, I was a sucker for their cuteness and I shared my people food with them if it is safe for them but obviously I will follow whatever food rules you have for your pets! I want pets to have as much fun as they can so I can do multiple walks a day and play with them a lot!

FAQs for House Sitting - Halford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,731 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.
