“Molly watched our mini golden doodle, Molly, this past weekend and she was great! She was very responsive, kind, and communicative. She was great at sending pictures and kept us updated! We will definitely be using her again! Highly recommended!!!”
“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!”
“Heidi did a wonderful job taking care of our two pets and our home while we were away for 10 days. She took the time to meet with us just after booking and again soon before we left to make sure we were all on the same page with expectations and limitations. She communicates her schedule very well, letting us know when she would be in our home and when she would be out. No issues whatsoever. Thank you, Heidi!”
About: I’m someone who genuinely loves caring for dogs and believes every pup deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, even when their owners are away! What sets me apart is that I take the time to get to know each dog individually. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I enjoy learning what makes each one unique. Whether your pup is energetic and playful, a little shy, or happiest cuddled up beside someone, I’m happy to meet them where they are and give them the care and attention they deserve. I have experience working with puppies, including basic commands, leash manners, crate training, and positive reinforcement. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need extra patience, a slower pace, or mobility assistance. Additionally, I’m comfortable administering medication and following specific care instructions to help keep your dog healthy and on their regular routine. At the end of the day, I want you to have peace of mind knowing your dog is in caring, attentive, and trustworthy hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine I intentionally structure my schedule to make sure I have dedicated, unhurried time for each dog. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check ins, playtime, feeding schedules, or evening cuddles, I plan my days around the pets in my care, so they receive consistent attention and companionship. I build flexibility into my week to accommodate different energy levels and needs, from active pups who love longer walks to seniors who prefer shorter, gentler outings. Because I prioritize reliability and routine, your dog can count on consistent care, and you can count on dependable communication and updates. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in it’s something I genuinely make space for. In My Home: When pets stay with me, I create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow your feeding schedules, potty routines, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide. Dogs receive plenty of supervised playtime, walks, mental stimulation, and affection. I’m mindful of introductions (if other pets are present), keep the space clean and secure, and make sure every dog has a comfortable area to rest and relax. In Your Home: When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine to reduce stress. I stick closely to feeding times, walks, and preferred activities. I also respect your home by keeping things tidy, bringing in mail if requested, and ensuring everything is secure before I leave. My goal is to make your absence feel as smooth and normal as possible for your pet. For both services, I prioritize safety, communication, and regular photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every animal as if they were my own with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.
“Kathryn was amazing. Prior to her first stay with our puppies she came to the house to meet with us and the dogs. The dogs loved her! She is a genuine animal lover. She stayed several days at the house and sent so many nice pictures and videos of the dogs enjoying her stay. It was so nice to go out of town and not worry. She took excellent care of them and treated them as if they were her own. Even brought her pups to the house for some playtime to wear out the puppy. We would 1000% use Kathryn whenever she is available. While she stay with our dogs, she also watched my Mom's cat down the street. My mom was thrilled with all the pictures and updates. Her cat is not fond of very many people and my Mom was so happy to see him interact with Kathryn. She did an amazing job.”
“Shane was amazing! He kept in contact with us through out the day, sent us a check up pic and offered to stay later if needed. He even won over the trust of our shyest dog Maggie which is hard to do! I strongly recommend him for your pets!!!”
About: I’ve watched many pets of friends and co workers. I’ve myself had a lot of pets growing up as well. I used to volunteer at a pet shelter as well. Recently graduated and work part time and I have a lot of free time. Weekends are usually free too for taking care of a pet I make sure to take long walks, give a lot of pets and love.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 435 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.
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 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 , 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.
