“Heather watched our dog in our hotel room for about 8 hours while we were in town to attend a wedding. She did a meet and greet with us the night before the wedding too. Heather took such great care of our precious pup! Our doggo has separation anxiety. Heather was so kind and attentive to him. She took him out several times to walk and she even brought him to a nearby area to see the ducks. I booked her services long before our event, and Heather was very good at communicating with me leading up to the date. She asked great questions about our dog, and she was on time and dependable. Heather also sent multiple updates with photos and videos while we were away. We can’t thank her enough for helping him stay calm and for allowing us to feel secure knowing he was in good hands while we were out.”
“Leann was great. There was a learning curve with my dogs but once that was figured out everything went great and they became good pals. I’ll definitely request Leann when my I next need dog sitting.”
“Barbara is a natural! I have a hesitant, scared of a lot of things dog and he warmed up to her in no time. She was wonderful with both my doggies. I’m a worrier, but felt good leaving my dogs in her hands. She is responsible and communicative and takes good care to follow whatever regimen/schedule you ask her to. We came home to very calm and happy dogs. So happy to have found her!”
“Kevin was wonderful with Molly and Leia! He took great care of them, kept us updated, and sent photos while we were away, which gave us peace of mind. We really appreciated his communication, reliability, and the attention he gave our dogs. They were happy and well cared for when we got home. We would definitely recommend Kevin and would love to have him watch them again!”
“Melissa took great care of our very emotionally needy dog while we were away for two weeks. He was very comfortable in her care, and she gave him lots of attention and love!”
“We booked Brooke last minute as our previous services fell through while we were away. Brooke was very thorough and understanding, and got to our dogs within the hour of booking! She took our dog to the vet and communicated his care until we were able to get home. She gave us a sense of relief. Definitely would recommend Brooke!”
“Mary did an amazing job making sure my dogs got all of their medications on time. I really appreciated the regular updates and adorable pictures while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Frances did such a great job house sitting our dogs and cats! Not only did she take care of our pets, but also she left the house in great shape for our return. We needed a sitter last minute and we are so glad we found Frances!”
“We loved having Sarah care for Clyde. We came home from an extended trip to a happy and well cared for pup! 🐶 💕 We look forward to having her back to help in the future.”
“Loryn stayed in my home for 2 nights watching my babies for me. She was absolutely perfect! She left my house impeccable, sent frequent updates, and was very respectful. Maya and Bleu can’t wait to see her again in the future!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love caring for them! Over the years, I’ve watched and walked pets for family members, friends, and neighbors, gaining experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I always make sure each pup feels loved, safe, and cared for like they’re my own. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend lots of time with the pets in my care throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, attention, and companionship while they’re in a comfortable environment. I also genuinely enjoy long walks in my personal time, so I’d love to have a furry friend join me for some extra exercise and enrichment! I work from home, which gives me flexibility throughout the day to provide reliable care and accommodate many scheduling needs. I’m available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend drop-in visits and dog walks. If I accept your booking, you can count on me to arrive on time, communicate consistently, and give your pet the attention and care they deserve. If you have a specific schedule in mind, feel free to reach out, I’m happy to discuss accommodations whenever possible! When caring for pets, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to make sure they feel comfortable and secure. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, I maintain a calm, clean, and pet friendly environment. I always double check that leashes, doors, and gates are secure, and I keep a close eye on pets during walks or playtime. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for.
“We highly recommend Phillip and cannot fully express how grateful we are for his excellent care of our pup Bennie. Phillip was truly one of the best sitters we’ve ever had ! We booked for house sitting just a couple weeks ago when we planned to bring both our disabled senior dog Max and Bennie . At the time we asked for help with taking special care of Max, repositioning and taking him out every couple hours during our time at Church Retreat. Sadly Max passed before our trip, Phillip was kind enough to still be willing to hang out with Bennie as we were staying at an Airbnb that normally doesn’t allow pets and had given us permission since we have a sitter and a crate for him. Philip was so thoughtful and kind to our Bennie making sure he felt secure and loved. He kept us informed on how Bennie was doing throughout the 2 days and was even willing to drive 30 min to the church we attended, so that he could hang out with Bennie in a shady spot for a couple hours ! We look forward to booking Phillip the next time we come to PA👏🐶”

Heather did a wonderful job taking care of Lilah while we were away. She was very communicative, giving us lots of updates, pictures and videos. She took Lilah on many walks and gave her lots of cuddles/attention. We have used Heather in the past and will continue using her in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,125 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Halfville. 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 Halfville 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 Halfville 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 Halfville 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.

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.
