“Katherine was a wonderful house sitter for Bondi. He looked fresh, relaxed, and happy when we returned, which clearly reflected the excellent care she provided. She also regularly shared photos and updates about the time she spent with Bondi, which gave us great peace of mind. We truly appreciate her genuine care and would be happy to recommend her.”

“Jennifer was so GREAT with my 1.5 year old Frenchie during a recent day-long sitting. She takes a fun-loving but responsible approach to her work with animals and her experience and excellent rappor with dogs shows from the minute she walks in the door. I will definitely use her again. Thanks Jenn!”

“Monica is as a dream! She took the job seriously and sent thoughtful, detailed updates throughout the day. We couldn’t have asked for more. We will definitely use her services again the future!”

“Petra was very communicative about how things were going during her stay at our home and texted us pictures of the dogs which made us feel at ease. We have multiple terriers and she handled them with no issues. She is is knowledgeable about dog behavior and understood each dog’s personality and how to relate to each one. She treated our dogs with kindness even if they were naughty. I would highly recommend her and will be hiring her again.”

“Juliana was amazing! She was quick to respond, met with us beforehand, and showed up exactly when she said she would! The entire time we were away, she corresponded with us, sent pictures, and addressed any concerns we had. She took good care of our two dogs, and our home! We would definitely recommend her to anyone, and hope to have her back in the future!”

“Ashley was a fantastic sitter. She stepped in when my sitter fell through at the last minute and took great care of my very energetic 11 month old and 60 pound pup. Grace is an energetic pup and Ashley had no problem keeping her entertained; she even took her for car rides. Ashley was able to give Grace her medication and took her on multiple walks a day. She also took great care of my house, took out the garbage, and left everything in perfect condition. Grace was obviously very well looked after and Ashley's attentiveness made me feel comfortable being so far away from home for the first time. i would recommend Ashley for any and all types pet care and sitting. She was a lifesaver on short notice and I will use her any time I travel in the future.”

About: I have a vast knowledge of all things dogs and cats! I worked for 3 years as a veterinary assistant, and I currently attend SUNY Cobleskill for canine training and management! I can’t wait to meet your animals and you!!! Pretty open, but I do have classes we can speak of later to match up schedules, please feel free to to ask me anything! Thank you so much! I’m pretty knowledgeable when it comes to pet care, and I’m also great at following directions! I’m not a negative reinforcement type of person, as I prefer positive reinforcement instead! I also know how to give medication orally and know how to give as inhaler.
“Nina was wonderful with our shy boy. She is calm but confident which was perfect for our dog who is not so sure of new people. She communicated often and sent pictures so we could see for ourselves how well he was doing. She left the house clean and even watered my wilting plants. I would have her watch Boomer again anytime.”

“Lianna is very responsible, communicative, and reliable. I booked her for a 9-day house sitting to take care of my 3 dogs while my family and I were on a vacation. She sent daily updates and pictures so I knew the dogs were getting walked and also getting quality "people time" on the couch! When we returned home, the house looked as clean if not cleaner than when we left. This was my first time hiring a house sitter and my first time using Rover, so I booked Lianna for a couple short drop-in visits so she and the dogs could get acquainted with each other before the long house sitting. I was pleased and comfortable with how she conducted herself and how she interacted with the dogs. In the past, I have boarded my dogs at the vet, but Lianna provided a better alternative at a lower price. The dogs got more exercise and more human interaction than boarding and the added benefit is that my house was being looked after as well. I highly recommend Lianna.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Kathryn and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. Kathryn stayed in our home for three nights while caring for our 9-month-old puppy, Steele. Steele is still young and requires a good amount of structure and attention—she can only be crated for up to four hours at a time and eats three meals a day. Kathryn handled all of this seamlessly and kept Steele on her routine without any issues. What we especially appreciated was Kathryn’s care during a slightly more challenging time—Steele was just finishing her heat cycle, and Kathryn managed everything with professionalism and ease. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Steele was in such capable hands. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a house that was just as we left it. Kathryn clearly cares about the animals she looks after and treats them like her own. We would gladly book Kathryn again and highly recommend her to others!”

“Wonderful in all ways! Her care of Jake was spectacular!! Becca sent daily updates, house was super clean when we returned. Becca is very kind, easy, responsible, practical and caring - understands house care as well as loving our dog. A truly rewarding experience.”

About: Ever since I was a child, I’ve always had a pet in my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for countless animals through dog and cat sitting, and I’ve always felt a natural connection with them. One of the experiences I’m most proud of is helping reunite three lost dogs with their families. Animals have always been a part of who I am, and caring for them has never felt like a job—it has always felt like a calling. Starting September 4, I’ll have a flexible schedule and will be available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and dog or cat sitting throughout the day. This isn’t just a side hustle for me—it’s something I’m genuinely passionate about. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve had pets since I was a child, cared for many dogs and cats over the years, and have even helped reunite three lost dogs with their families. I truly enjoy earning an animal’s trust and giving pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry family members are in loving, dependable hands. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets like they’re my own, I’d love the opportunity to help! One of the biggest benefits I offer is caring for your pets in the comfort of their own home. Staying in their familiar environment helps reduce stress, keeps their daily routine consistent, and allows them to feel safe and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and personalized care—just as if you were home. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family members are happy, comfortable, and cared for in the place they know best.
“Patrick was amazing. Super communicative and kind. Sent pictures and videos of the pups. Gentle energy that made the pup calm right off the bat. I look forward to having him take care of my baby again.”


About: What sets me apart is that I focus on making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s personality and routine, whether they’re high-energy puppies or older dogs who need a slower pace and extra care. I’m especially comfortable with: - Puppies and young dogs, including reinforcing basic training like leash manners, potty routines, and positive behavior. - Senior dogs who may need gentler walks, medication reminders, mobility support, or a calmer environment. - Dogs with anxiety or shy temperaments, using patience and positive reinforcement to build trust. - Keeping owners updated with photos, walk summaries, and clear communication so they always know how their pet is doing. I treat every dog like they’re my own and aim to provide dependable care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. I work part-time from home remotely, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your dogs. Available for dog walking after 3pm. I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, personality, exercise needs, feeding routine, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and companionship while also respecting the owner’s space and routine. I keep litter boxes or outdoor areas clean, monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health, and provide regular updates with photos and messages. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of supervision, affection, and structured routines. I make sure pets have comfortable spaces to rest, opportunities for exercise and enrichment, and slow introductions if other pets are present. My priority is always making pets feel safe, cared for, and loved while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in reliable hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 442 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sloansville. 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 Sloansville 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 Sloansville 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Sloansville 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.
