“Luca and penny were well taken care of and not at all stressed when we got home. Our house was kept in order and everything was clean! We had a great experience and would definitely book again. Thank you!”
“Jocelyn is the dog whisperer … one of our dogs is skittish around strangers but she quickly became trusted and loved by both dogs. Great with my birdies too! Really appreciated the photo updates she sends. Can’t wait to use her again in a couple weeks!!!”
“Ada is absolutely wonderful with my pets. My cat is a little bizarre ands likes to snuggle into and bite people’s hair if he likes them. It’s super weird and most people are intimidated by him because of it, but Ada sends me pictures of him snuggling in her hair and she still loves him. My dog was scared of thunderstorms and shaking and being super extra, but she comforted her and when I got home, they both look happy and well taken care of. She even helped when a leak happened in my house and she moved furniture and dried out the floor. She has gone above and beyond to take exceptional care of them ands I would absolute recommend her to anyone. This is the second time we’ve used her, ands we will definitely hire her in the future. She’s a gem.”
“Gracie did a great job with our 4 dogs while we were out on vacation! She stayed with them overnight for a week and did a great job taking care of the dogs and the home! She is very responsive, followed all care instructions/requests, and we were very thankful for her help.”
“Alison was so wonderful taking care of Lilly, I would absolutely have her back again!! She was so attentive and caring the whole time I was away, ensuring Lilly got plenty of walks, treats & love and she shared pictures frequently. She is such a kind & caring person. Thank you so much Alison!😊❤️”
“This was our first time using Rover for house and pet sitting for our two dogs and cat. Unfortunately, while we were away, one of our dogs passed away. Our sitter handled everything with compassion and professionalism. She notified us, communicated clearly, and continued to take care of our other pets. We came home to a note and flowers, which was very thoughtful! We are grateful for her kindness and would highly recommend her.”
About: I work with a variety of animals from horses to dogs, this includes simple checkups to dog/house sitting! I love being outside and going for walks myself and find it so much more enjoyable with a furry companion. From hyper to chill dogs we can go for walks or runs!! I am doing this to make money for college and hopefully transfer to a university that will foster my passion in engineering. Thank you for considering me :) I am a student with a very flexible schedule as long as we communicate prior to your expectations I can be sure to be a reliable and responsible person to take care of your loved ones. I am completely free on the weekends and in the mornings and late afternoons to evenings on the weekdays when school starts august 25th. During the summer i am completely available everyday! I have a backyard with no fence but a big home, I live with my cat and backyard chickens. My house is tucked away from any busy roads and the yard has clear visibility all around!
About: I’ve raised my five-year-old dog, a malshi mix boy, alone since I was sixteen and have been pet sitting on the side for a few years now for family friends, and now expanding my services to Rover! I work as a Senior Dog Handler at a doggy day care in Iowa City, where we board, feed, administer medications, and more. I am truly constantly surrounded by dogs daily and am the happiest when sitting with dogs cuddled up on my lap. I sincerely believe that pets are your own children, and wanting to provide the best care possible for them is the bare minimum. I have also worked in human childcare as well as both a child care provider and nanny for years. I am CPR certified and vetted by parents to take care of children ranging from 3 months to 15-year-olds. I would love to take care of your fur babies! I am a junior at the University of Iowa. My apartment is located in the center of Iowa City, and my dog lives with me full-time. I am in Iowa City for all of the summer and typically work from Noon til 6 PM on weekdays. My schedule is very flexible to any needs of any pet! I have a friendly dog to keep any dog company as well as experience in dog sitting for around four years now. I currently am employed at a doggy daycare and deal with dogs from 3 months old to 16 year old dogs, ranging from 5 lbs to 150 lbs. I also enjoy taking dogs for walks around the neighborhoods in Iowa City.
“Our furry family members think Taylor is great!! Our dog struggles with anxiety, and doesn't always warm up to new caretakers .... but with Taylor, she was wagging her tail immediately!! Taylor has an easy way about her that puts everyone at ease! Taylor does overnight stays & daily drop ins for us ... she's great!!”
“Jennifer was awesome! She took excellent care of our two dogs, Kona and Milo, while we were out of town. She was very friendly and sent frequent updates letting us know how the dogs were doing. We highly recommend her!”
“Emma took care of our girls last minute during an out of state family emergency. She texted often and let us know how our two were doing. She was responsive when we checked in.”
About: I've had many cats throughout my life, and I love them dearly. I am quite knowledgeable about felines. My current cat, Marble, has been with me since he was about 5 weeks old, and he's now 6 years old. I also adore dogs and have taken care of many medium- and small-sized ones. My first job was dog walking when I was 14. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine as a full-time writer and filmmaker. My flexible schedule and frequent downtime make it easy to care for my pets. I give dogs and cats all the love and attention they need. I provide playtime, feedings, walks, baths, and medications. Having had mischievous cats myself, I am very attentive to every animal in my care.
“We had another great getaway thanks to Kim. I always feel confident my house and pups are well cared for by her! She’s very flexible when the travel gods throw a curveball too.”
“Paula was wonderful! She connected with our fur babies right away and had us feel completely comforted in the knowledge that they were being cared for with love. I highly recommend!”
“Carolyn was wonderful. She took good care of Charlie and was careful to follow instructions including administering medicine and following physical therapy instructions. She left the house very clean and orderly. We would love to use her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hallsboro
Kyle was great housesitting with my 2 cats! They both require medication administration, but Kyle was able to handle it all smoothly. Both of my cats seemed to take well to their presence and they were both relaxed/calm when I got home. Kyle took good care of my home as well! I would recommend them to others!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hallsboro on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,423 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hallsboro. 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 Hallsboro 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 Hallsboro 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 Hallsboro 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.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
