“Madalyn is a true professional! She recently cared for our two Newfoundlands for a night where her knowledge of large breed dogs was essential. She communicated frequently with us and kept us updated with pictures. We have been seeking a consistent caregiver for our pups and we have found her!”
“Kenda helped us out with a last minute sitting. We came home to a happy pup which is the most important thing. She was communicative and sent picture updates which I greatly appreciate. I would definitely feel comfortable recommending her and using her services again.”
“Alex did a great job with Chip while I was out of town. It was clear he gave Chip lots of attention and gave him plenty of exercise. Alex was also very communicative and provided great updates!”
“Jessica was a wonderful caretaker for our dog! She communicated with us throughout the weekend, keeping us up to date. She managed his dog reactivity, keeping him and others safe. I would recommend Jessica to anyone who has a dog with a “big personality” that needs a strong but gentle hand to manage it. 😃”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of all kinds for over 10 years. I grew up with 3 cats and 2 dog. I love animals and I can stay in your home or host pets. Your dog will be allowed on the couch and bed. I have a fenced in back yard where your dog will always be accompanied by me. I will give lots of cuddles and love. I work full time but I have a hybrid schedule where I can be home all day. I can also stop in for visits as needed. I have a fenced in yard and will always be with your dog in the yard. We can go for great walks around the SUNY Albany campus. I currently have 2 cats that are very kind and curious.
“I am a nervous pup mom and I want Coco Moose in his home. I tried traditional boarding and was mortified. I am so glad I found/connected with Emer. She is so helpful and understanding of my pup mom feelings. Her communication while I was away, was next level! Text with updates and she sent 1 of the cutest pictures ever along with many others. She spoiled him with extra walks too. When I returned home, Coco was happy, content and obviously very well taken care of. My home looked exactly as I left it. I can't wait until my next trip to have Emer back. It's 1 less thing I need to worry about when I need to leave. THANK YOU!”
About: I had over ten dogs growing up, both large and small, and have had three cats. All have lived to an old age and had a wonderful quality of life! I work from 7am-3pm Monday-Friday with occasional work from homes, so I can provide pet care in the early morning and/or afternoon/evening! On weekends, I am flexible! I focus on building trust and affection with pets, ensuring play time and pets are on their terms, giving space as needed! I am big on safety and keeping a watchful eye on them.
“Patricia was responsive in a timely manner and provided us with lots of pictures and updates of our fur babies and we appreciated all the care she provided. Will be using her services again!”
“Absolutely loved having this sitter for my dog! She left the house cleaner than it was before and was able to make certain accommodations for my dog since he has special needs. We will certainly be using her services again soon!”
“Haylea stayed with our 13 year old dog for 5 nights. Since we are both retired, it was especially important to us that our dog have a lot of company as she is used to our being home. A big plus is Haylea works from home 4 of 5 days a week and was able to be with our dog a lot. Haylea texted photos and kept us up to date on how our fur baby was doing. Highly recommend her!”

“I have two cats that are very picky about who they will be around and I selected Eydid because their profile shows how passionate they are with cats. It was my first time using Rover or any sitter and I was definitely anxious about it. Eydid is amazing - he took the time to get to know my cats, sit with them, and play with them. They love Eydid and that says a lot! Eydid was very respectful of my home and provided me with great updates and pics & videos of the cats having fun. 10/10 would select again. In fact I already have booked Eydid for another session when I am traveling out of the country :D”
“Sydney was just wonderful with my pup! She stayed the night with him and gave me great, detailed updates and videos… made sure he was well cared for and got plenty of attention while I was gone. I would not hesitate to hire her again,”
“Having Linda stay at my home to take care of my dog Moose was a great experience! She sent frequent updates including pictures to let me know how he was doing and seems to have developed a great relationship with him! I'm going to hire her to walk him as well on a regular basis :-)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Roessleville
Natasha is wonderful!!! She really put me at ease and had her own questions during our meet and greet. She absolutely followed through with her updates and pictures and I felt my boys were in very safe and loving hands while I was on vacation overseas. I would absolutely recommend her! Thank you so much Natasha!
We were so happy with our experience with Stephanie. She provided excellent care for our dog during 2 evenings while we were involved with wedding festivities. She handled Pepper’s separation anxiety calmly and patiently. She was exactly on time both evenings. We would be happy to work with Stephanie again anytime and highly recommend her.
This was our second time booking with Kenedy and once again the experience was outstanding! Kenedy is incredibly dependable, caring, and attentive. Knowing our kitties are comfortable and being well cared for while we’re away gives us such peace of mind and allows us to actually relax and enjoy our time away. We came home to happy, well-cared-for kitties and everything just as we left it. We also received lots of pictures and updates along the way. We feel very fortunate to have found someone we can trust so completely and will absolutely book again!
This was my first time using Rover and first time leaving my dog Quinn with someone new. Emer went above and beyond to make sure not only that I felt comfortable but that Quinn was comfortable with her routine and with someone new. Would definitely use again in the future and recommend!
We had to scramble to find a sitter last min after our previous option had to back out and luckily we were able to find Vanesa. She did a great job keeping us updated during our trip with pictures and made it a little easier to leave our furry family at home knowing they were in good hands.
Samantha stayed with our 3 dogs while we went out of town and did an excellent job! She is quick to respond, arrives on time, and does what she says she will do. She even sends awesome pictures back of our dogs showing she truly cares for their well-being. We highly recommend Samantha!
Patrick was great house sitting with our big, needy, oaf of a dog. Our pup can be reactive with other dogs while walking, Patrick ha no trouble with him and was also good with giving him meds. He is courteous, timely and trustworthy. Our dog was comfortable right off the bat with him and was super chill when we got home. We'll continue to call on Patrick for sitting in the future & highly recommend him to others for sitting or walks.
Ashley is the most reliable, caring and conscientious dog sitter, and my Lola loves her, which makes my travels worry free. She gives me the best daily uodates, and I know that my dog is in great hands while I am away. I’d give her ten stars if that was an option,
Natalie was terrific with our dog Luna, cat Charlotte, and our unexpectedly brooding chickens!! She made us feel completely relaxed knowing our pets and home were in reaponsible hands, while we were far from home, which is the most important thing. We highly recommend Natalie.
Kelsey took amazing care of our dog, Maggie, while we were away for two weeks. She was fantastic from start to finish, with great communication and regular updates/photos that gave us so much peace of mind. Maggie needs a little extra care, especially during storms and fireworks, and Kelsey was incredibly patient, attentive, and compassionate with her. It was clear that Maggie was in great hands and being well looked after. We also came home to a spotless house, which was such a lovely bonus. Kelsey went above and beyond, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. We’d absolutely trust her to look after Maggie again!
Merissa, is a fan favorite. Our pups adore her and love spending time with her. They love snuggles and playtime with her. We love how well she takes care of our fur-babies. We know they are in great hands and that they will have a great time, which helps us to be able to enjoy our evening out.
Abigail was so amazing I’m almost hesitant to leave a great review because I don’t want to share her with anyone else! We have been looking for a while for a Pet Sitter we love and trust. We definitely found that with Abigail! Hoping she continues to be our Pet Sitter for the foreseeable future. She was absolutely amazing with the animals.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Roessleville is $45 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $78 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Roessleville 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 Roessleville 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 Roessleville 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
