“Amber was absolutely amazing in all aspects of her care for our Max. She communicated regularly while we were away with pics and updates of his day to day activities. If she had a question she didn’t hesitate to reach out for feedback. Amber is clearly committed to being an advocate for pets and the excellent care they deserve. We would highly recommend Amber! She stayed at our home do Max would be comfortable and it worked out just great. We would definitely request her again. The Rover experience has been top notch!”
“We want to adopt Brittany! Our pup was happy and healthy when we arrived home! She kept us posted on his daily activities and sent photos too. We felt comfortable having her in our home and knew she was a responsible person who would handle any household issues and she did! We will book Brittany again!”
“Adriana was perfect. She handled Loki’s anxiety perfectly. She stayed in constant contact and sent many photos. We would definitely book her again. After her 10 day in home sitting we couldn’t even tell someone had been in the home as she left it emaculate. We feel she went above and beyond”
About: I grew up with a cat and now have a 6 year old dog of my own, so I understand pets of all personalities and energy levels. I've also cared for two dogs at once, including a reactive one, so I'm comfortable with multi dog households. I work remotely, which means I'm available on weekdays for walks or drop ins, especially if you're nearby in Glens Falls. I treat every pet like my own and I'm reliable, attentive, and easy to communicate with. I work from home so my hours are flexible, which makes me available for drop in visits or dog walking during the day. Weekends are generally open as well for overnight stays or drop in visits, so I’m happy to work around your pets schedule. I’m an attentive dog mom to my own pup, so I bring that same level of care and attention to every visit, making sure your pet gets the affection they need.
“Great communicator and very capable with our dog that can be unfriendly to strangers. Thankful for the meet and greet and she was understanding of a last minute schedule change.”
About: I have loved taking care of dogs my entire life. I am lucky enough to be able to help with my five grand dogs. All very different ages and personalities. I’m currently semi retired and looking forward to doing something that I love. Dogs have always been a part of my life and even when we had five little kids in the house, I knew we still needed a dog to add more love and craziness. Now those kids have dogs and I really enjoy being a big part of their life and care. Best “non paying” job ever. I'd welcome the opportunity to help with you with your pups and make new friends. I would be happy to come to your home and help in any way I can. Anything from sitting with, taking out, walking, running, or just playing playing with your pups. I have experience taking care of multiple dogs at once.
“Anneke was such a pleasure to work with! Both my dogs loved her, she was prompt and communicative, sent lots of photos and I knew they were in great hands! I will definitely be asking her to help in the future!”
“Mark is fantastic! We used him as a sitter for our pups over a holiday weekend and not only did they love him, but we did too. Mark's love for dogs is clear so it made trusting him with our fluffy kids much easier. We definitely plan on using Mark again in the future. Thank you sir!”
“Brendan did a good job taking care of our dogs, feeding them and giving meds. Stayed with them overnight. Very easy to talk with and dogs got attached to him very quickly. Would definitely use him again.”
“Tara-Lynn is the best dog sitter I've ever had. She took excellent care of my dog Lola and sent me plenty of pictures. She also did not leave any trace of a mess in my place.”
“She is the best with our pups! They adore and she takes really good care of them. Is very careful and attentive with our one dogs allergies, making sure he doesn’t eat his sisters food, which we are so greatful for!”
“My Pomski Scout can’t wait to see Sierra again. They had an instant bond. She was excellent with him and with our cat Pearl. I highly recommend her to stay in your home with your pets.”
“Absolutely blown away with the level of service by Paloma and Gerardo. All three of our pups (PJ, Addy and Phoenix) love them. They went above and beyond during the entire stay and to top it off, we ended up traveling home during the crowdstrike fiasco that caused our flights to get delayed. They had no issues with us being delayed.”
“As always Nicole was amazing. She helped us out with getting an HVAC tech into our home while we were away when the furnace quit working, and even shoveled our sidewalk for us to come back to after a snow storm. She goes above and beyond!”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals, including reptiles and rodents. There’s no animal that I don’t know how to not take care of all animals are welcome. I work early in the mornings I work 4 AM to 12 afternoon. I’m able to be there for the afternoon afternoons and nights for your animal and up the road if anything happens. I have saved environment for the animal. I do not have fence,but I do have a backyard that I can walk the dog around or cat around. I do have one cat in my roommate has two but they’re all very friendly.

Allison was absolutely amazing. When I came home, I didn’t even know she was in my home. Everything was exactly the way I left it. She took very good care of my dog. She kept in contact with me and answered my text messages within 10 minutes. She even took the garbage out to the garage!! There was no dirty dishes, even in my dishwasher as I said it didn’t even look like she was here. There was no poop in my backyard. She’s amazing
Alisha watched my dog, Ellie, while I was away for my sister’s wedding, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We did a quick meet-and-greet beforehand, and I could instantly tell she was reliable, professional, and truly loves animals. She kept me updated throughout the weekend and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Ellie was clearly well cared for and happy when I got home. I would absolutely recommend Alisha to anyone looking for a sitter! You can tell she treats your pet like her own! Thank you so much Alisha!! 💗

FAQs for House Sitting - South Glens Falls
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Glens Falls on Rover is $76.3 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 271 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Glens Falls. 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 South Glens Falls 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 South Glens Falls 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 South Glens Falls 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.
