“Robin stayed with our three cats and bearded dragon for almost two weeks while we were out of country. This is the first vacation we have had in four years were we felt we could just relax and not have to worry too much about our cats and dragon because Robin kept us informed of everything every day and sent plenty of pictures. We have had other people watch our cats, but due to their shyness they would hide the whole time and often not want to eat. Our cats and dragon did great with Robin and opened up to her so quickly. We will definitely be using her in the future!”

About: I've been around animals most of my life, with my own dog and cat and often visiting my grandparents farm and seeing the animals there. Ive pet sat for a variety of dogs and cats before even a horse and understand the multitude of personalities that come with them. I find joy in getting to know your pet and take the time understanding their body language and hearing what they have to say! I am a flexable chill animal lover who enjoys spending time with a furry friend :) I have a very flexable schedule which gives me plenty of time to spend with your pet! Checking in for a walk or potty break is easy and can happen often! I always love going over your comfortably level and what you expect of me on the job! I appreciate finding out the lay of the land with your home and yard when house sitting/check ins and often take notes so ill remember!
“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!!”
“I cannot say enough good things about how Brandy took care of our dog. She is caring and really bonded with Abbey. Her daily photos were a source of great comfort for us as we traveled, knowing Abbey was in such good hands. Also, she left the house in wonderful shape - vacuumed the whole house and everything was shipshape. We will definitely use Brandy again when we travel.”
About: Message me and we can work something out cuz putting pricing on here can be confusing. Hello I'm stephanie I've had many types of pets of all different kinds, my whole life; from taking care of my cats with their litters, as well as "extra-curricular" animals I won't go into, unless you have an exotic pet lol, then definitely write me. I've also done in-home house sitting for cats, dogs, and various others. If you would like to talk to any of my past references, let me know if that would help you feel more comfortable. I've taken care of pregnant cats and dogs, I've also helped them birth there babies. I'm very patient and kind hearted, and I just love animals. I've also volunteered at pet rescues and have hands on training with taking care of sick, elderly, baby, wild cats and kittens. I also offer grooming such as baths and clippings for cats and small dogs. If given a list of things to do and how you want them done, I will be more than happy to fulfill those duties. Message me if you need someone to watch your "little family member" :) I have an open schedule right now and am available. For House sitting I operate from 11am till 930pm. If you just want me to check on them real quick or take them out to potty then drop ins are what you need to select. Message me and we can work out all the details. Also doggy day care I operate 10am to 11pm within that time frame only but as of right now I can only care for them 3 to 4 hours at a time just message me to work it all out I also have had dogs and cats inside when situations, or customers, require it. I can also set up multiple crates if needed or if they are trained for it.
“Diana is our go-to. My dogs are bark-y and complicated and they adore her. She knows dog behavior, takes SUCH good care of them, and I swear our house was cleaner when we came back than when we left. Would recommend to anyone without hesitation.”
“ML (Marcese) did a great job for us! The neighbors said he was seen frequently walking our pup. Our dog was healthy and happy upon our return. ML sent us photos during the stay and was good about staying in touch and asking any needed questions. And I think our home was cleaner when we returned than when we left it! I'd highly recommend ML for any pet needs that you have.”
“Michelle was an amazing pet sitter. She was my first live-in overnight sitter and she helped me feel so at ease about the whole process. She communicated well prior to the pet sitting dates, and she sent me daily updates on how things were going along with pictures of my very happy dogs while in her care. I have three dogs with different needs and abilities and they all had a great time with her. I would absolutely use her again for future pet sitting needs!”
“Martha was fantastic. She responded quickly and set up a meeting and greet. She did great meeting our very enthusiastic American Bull Dog and shy chihuahua. She arrived at our house on when she said. Eli (big guy) got all his walks and was very happy with her care. Both dogs were happy when we got home, house was left just the way we had left it. We are so grateful to find Martha”
“Alyaa was very communicative and took great care of my older cats, dealing with special diets and medication. She left the house very clean, and I felt very comfortable with her in my space.”
“My husband and I could not recommend Sara enough! After planning an extended holiday, we looked for reliable care for our cat with feline herpes. We reviewed Sara's profile, read about her extensive experience with animals, and scheduled to meet with her in person. After meeting, we were sure we had made the right choice! She was kind, responsible, and we felt comfortable to hand over the keys to our apartment to her. Sara stayed in our home for over two weeks and provided excellent care for our cat. She communicated with us daily through pictures and written text, and allowed us to to fully enjoy our time away without worrying! When we found out that we were going to experience extremely high heat in Washington, Sara offered to go to our house a day early to make sure that our little guy had access to extra water and a cool space in our apartment! We came home to a happy kitty and a perfectly clean space. We would highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet!”
“Bonnie took excellent care of my cat Fish! It's clear she has lots of love and patience for cats. She was able to get Fish to warm up to her after a couples days and even got some snuggles towards the end of the sit, which says of a lot since Fish is pretty shy with new people. I came home to a very happy kitty and clean home. I wouldn't hesitate to reach out again the next time I need pet care.”
“Paris was a great doggy and house sitter for us on a weekend trip we took. She was very communicative with updates about our pup and made us feel very comfortable leaving our little guy! Thank you again, Paris!”
About: For over twenty years, I've had the joy of caring for all kinds of animals—everything from cats and dogs to rabbits, fish, birds, hamsters, and even hermit crabs! I also spent five wonderful years on a farm, which gave me the chance to learn about farm animals and livestock. I absolutely love animals and believe it’s so important to make sure your furry friends are happy and well taken care of. I recently left my federal job and now have a flexible schedule to care for and entertain your furry friends. I will have intermittent availability in the month of September while I travel abroad starting on September 9th. Loving and reliable pet care tailored to your furry friend’s needs. I provide safe walks, home visits, cuddles, and attention, ensuring every tail wags with joy.
“Matthew did exactly what I expected. He came for a meet and greet; he let me know that he arrived at my house; and that my dogs were well. My house and dogs looked the same as they did when I left. I felt comfortable leaving my house and dogs with Matthew and hopefully, will do so again soon.”
“Kwame was communicative and made sure to send lots of pictures! When we got home, our house was clean with the sheets and towels loaded in the wash and ready to go. We'll definitely be booking with Kwame again.”
About: Hi! I look forward to caring for you furry family! I grew up with pets and have dogs and cats for family and friends for years. But I also know each individual pet has its own personality and needs, so I tailor my care to your instructions. I currently have a dog of my own, Pepper. If you choose to board with us, I'd recommend a meet and greet beforehand. I have an apartment with a large enclosed courtyard that is pet friendly for them to safely play. I have a mostly remote job, so I can watch your pet full time. I also have a dog of my own that share with my partner. So I am accustomed to the schedule of dogs. Your pets safety is my number one priority. When we discuss the their care, I will ask about triggers, allergies, medications, and inquire if there is any other information I should know about.

FAQs for House Sitting - Halford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,685 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
