“Lilah was living her best life when Heather stayed with her while we were on vacation. Heather took her on lots of walks, played with her in the backyard, and gave her lots of cuddles. Heather was very communicative, sending us lots of pictures, videos and updates on Lilah. Knowing that Lilah was cared for so well made my vacation even better. We look forward to having Heather stay with Lilah when we go on vacation again.”
“Anastasia is always dependable and reliable and loves our fur babies, and they love her. I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone needing a babysitter for their babies.”
“We are so grateful for Reagan's help last minute. She took care of our dog and kept him company while we traveled. I really appreciated the pictures and prompt communication!! Booking her again!!!”
“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!”
About: I absolutely love animals and have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats! I enjoy making sure they feel loved, safe, and comfortable. I also have experience administering insulin injections to cats, so I am comfortable providing extra care for pets with special medical needs. Having been retired for two years, I have the flexibility to spend quality time caring for your furry family members! I am happy to work with your schedule and accommodate your pets’ needs whenever possible. I prefer going to the client’s home, as I feel it is a more comfortable setting for both me and your pet. For dog sitting, my home does not have a fenced-in yard, so I would need to keep them on a leash when outside. That being said, I am happy to host pets at my home for shorter periods of time if needed. My goal is to provide reliable, loving, and attentive care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away!
“Kevin is always welcome to watch our four legged babies every time we have him the dogs look so comfortable. They’re not stressed out the he shows me pictures of how they are at home and they love him.”
“We were really anxious about our first dog/house sitting gig, but Mack did a great job with our 3 needy and spoiled pups. We were gone for 5 nights. She sent many photos, and my pups loved her. We have 2 dogs that require medications, and she followed the instructions to the letter. Our house looked great when we got home, and my pups were excited to see us - but not overly so - which lets me know that they really enjoyed their time with her. I highly recommend her, and we will definitely use her again.”
“Emily was respectful of our house and left it exactly how it was found. It was so nice knowing the dogs were in good hands and well taken care of. Hopefully Emily is available every time we need a dog sitter b/c I’d welcome her back each and every time! Thank you, Emily, for taking care of Tyson and Lilly while we enjoyed our last camping trip of the season.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all kinds and know firsthand the love and attention they need. From my first dog, Francis—a loyal Cocker Spaniel/Beagle mix who was part of the family for 16 years—to Olivia, a playful Boxer mix who brought joy for 9 years, I’ve learned how to care for dogs with different personalities and health needs. Now, I’m lucky to share my life with Lulu, a 3-year-old Staffy and Pitbull mix. I treat every dog with the same love and care I give my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well-loved. Taking care of pets is just part of my everyday life. I make sure there’s time for walks, play, meals, and plenty of love every day. I’m used to paying attention to what each dog needs—whether it’s some extra energy to burn or just some chill cuddle time. Basically, I fit pet care into my routine because I genuinely enjoy hanging out with dogs and making sure they’re happy. I live in a quiet apartment with my dog Lulu, which provides a calm and safe environment for pets. I’m also close to several parks with plenty of space for walks and playtime, so your fur baby will get lots of exercise and fresh air. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or during in-home visits, I always make sure water is available and follow feeding routines tailored to your dog’s needs. I take pride in giving attentive walks, regular potty breaks, and plenty of love to keep your dog happy and comfortable while you’re away.
About: You can relax knowing your pup will be treated like one of our own. My family has years of experience working with several different breeds and temperaments. We love them all and will give them the very best care! I also have years of experience house/pet sitting in others homes as well as dog walking. I am able to work on basic training skills and playing fun interactive games. I currently work full time M-F, but my husband who works from home will be available for boarding 7 days a week. We have had several clients that we enjoyed working with very much. We provide security inside and outside and give each pup lots of love and attention! I have a large fenced in yard your pup will have full access to, they will be let out several times a day and played with. We have 2 friendly pups of our own, Sugar is a 12 yr old Maltipoo and Koko is a 6yr old Klee Kai, both are under 20 lbs. We take the time to meet every client before their first stay to ensure everyone gets along and so you can see where your pup will be staying. I also ask each client to fill out an info sheet with all pertinent information about their pet in case of an emergency and for schedule consistency.
“Kay was wonderful and took great care of my house and my pup, even going above and beyond his usual activity requirements. She is very reliable and communicated with me very well about any going ons.”
“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👏🐶”

“This was our second time having Kianna stay at our house with our two dogs and every time we are so grateful for her! She took the time to work on training our 6 month old puppy, tried out a new harness on him that we will be buying because it worked so well, and even noticed our neighbors putting out their trash and took ours to the curb as well, unasked. Worth every penny of peace of mind.”
“Payton was amazing! Our dogs were happy staying home with friendly and safe visits. She even took care of the poop scooping without even being expected to. Thank you for a great first time with Rover, Payton.”
About: I've always enjoyed being around animals, and caring for pets is something I take seriously. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I aim to follow your pet's routine, provide plenty of attention, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I'll treat your pet with patience, kindness, and respect. I work full-time at QVC on an overnight schedule, so my availability varies throughout the week. I'm happy to coordinate with pet owners in advance to find times that work for both of us. I do my best to be dependable, communicate clearly, and make sure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in their homes, I will follow the owner's instructions and stick to their pet's usual routine. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pets are being cared for the way they're used to. I regularly take my own dog, Max, on walks and will make sure to follow each owner's preferences for walks and outdoor time.

Michael was great with my husky Jameson!! I was in town for a friends wedding and he watched my pup at the hotel I was staying at when I was at the ceremony and reception. Super friendly, communicative and lots of pics, my pup had a big smile in every single one so I know he was well taken cared of and having fun!

FAQs for House Sitting - Halfville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,108 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 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.
