âCaroline took the absolute best care of our dogs for the weekend! She was super communicative, sent plenty of pictures and made sure our dogs were happy and loved while we were away. Would highly recommend booking Caroline to care for your pups!â
âKenzie took amazing care of our Zoey (15 yr old mini Schnauzer). She was a great communicator and VERY capable of caring for Zoey and her special needs. Thank you Kenzie!!â
âLaura was so helpful with our 15 year old pup, who can be a little quirky. She handled his evening medications perfectly and made us feel completely at ease. Weâre so grateful to know he was in such good hands, thank you!â
About: I am a dogsitter and dogwalker that has been working with dogs for a third of my life I was always surrounded by dogs growing up and would love to keep it that way :) Currently working remote so Iâd love to help out with any dogsitting needs you have and be with your pup or cat! Extremely flexible schedule :) When dogsitting, I am always hanging out with the dog. I walk them a little extra sometimes. And will play with them as much as their heart desires :)
âDawn was a perfect match for our shy sensitive older border collie mix. This was our first experience having a pet sitter and she made us feel completely at ease. Wilson was very comfortable with her and she has excellent patience and connection to dogs. She knows how to accept them for who they are and let them naturally warm up to her. She was perfect for our sensitive boy! We will definitely reach out to her in the future.â
About: I've been caring for dogs for over 30 years, starting when I was in second grade. I've owned several dogs throughout my life, including my current dog, Obi! All of my dogs have been part of my family since they were puppies, so I'm familiar with the patience, energy, and attention younger dogs need. Beyond caring for my own pets, I've also looked after dogs and cats for friends and family. I've cared for pets of different ages, including a senior cat, and understand that every animal has their own personality, routines, and needs. Whether it's going for walks, playing, or simply keeping your pet company while you're away, I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I know how important pets are to their families, and I'll treat yours with the same care and attention I give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. This allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, whether your pet needs a walk, a quick check-in, or some extra companionship. I'm happy to work around your pet's usual routine and can also accommodate house sitting when needed. I understand that everyone's schedule is different, so I'll do my best to find times that work for both you and your pet. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and comfortable when you're not home. Having pets of my own, I know how much trust goes into leaving them in someone else's care. When looking after your pets, I'll follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I'll also make sure they're secure during walks and that their environment stays clean and comfortable. I respect both your home and your pet's personal space, and I'm always happy to send photos and updates so you know how they're doing while you're away.
âWe were so happy with all the help and care Gianna provided to our pets while we were out of town. We will absolutely request Gianna in the future and would recommend her services to all our pets while parents. Thank you Gianna!â
âMeghan is awesome! She clearly took amazing care not only our pets (a dog and a cat) for the nearly two weeks we were on vacation, but our home was somehow cleaner than when we left! She sent daily updates, let us know if anything was unusual, and was overall an excellent communicator and a delight to chat with! We highly recommend Meghan and will definitely be booking her again the future.â
âRebecca has been utterly amazing with our pack of pups. She spent a week with my three Chihuahuas and Pomeranian and seemed unfazed by their craziness. I loved that she gave them so much attention and spent so much time with them. When we arrived home, our house was spotless and our dogs were happy đ She was truly the perfect pet sitter. đâ
âWe are so grateful to have found Marie. Our dog can be shy at first, but she warmed up to her instantly. She made us feel completely comfortable leaving her and our home in her care. We had updates and photos daily and she was extremely responsive if we needed to share anything with her while we were away. We returned to a very happy and well cared for dog along with a clean and beautifully cared for home. She truly went above and beyond, exceeded our expectations and we could not be happier that we found her. We will definitely be using her again.â
âWe have never used a boarding /dog sitting service before . Never left our dog with someone who wasnât a family member so I was so apprehensive, but meeting Dana put my nerves at ease instantly! And my dog immediately loved her! She was wonderful and I HIGHLY recommend!â
âMorgan is the BEST!! She sent so many updates and pictures and I felt so comfortable and relaxed on vacation because I knew my pup was having the best time! I will be using her from now on moving forward!!â
âSusan was great from the Meet & Greet to the dog sitting. She was warm, friendly & professional. She was very easy to communicate with. She eased my mind w photos of my Chico. Upon my return, clearly my dog & my home had been well taken care of.â
âClaire did a great job staying with my small dog in my home for 3 nights. My dog was a bit sad and reluctant to eat while I was gone, but Claire helped her through with lots of love.â
âWe were worried our dog Lucky wouldnât adjust to anyone new, but Natalie was amazing! She played so well with our tiny Yorkshire Terrier, and he loved her - didnât even miss us! Highly recommend her pet-sitting services!â
âKat is wonderful! She has watched our two dogs and cat numerous times over the past few years and each time she is kind, considerate, and so caring towards our pets.â
âMeredith took great care of our doggos and our home. We are very thankful to have booked her. We will absolutely request her again. We came home to happy and healthy pups!!â

FAQs for House Sitting - Furlong
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Furlong is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $71 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,535 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Furlong. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs 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 Furlong walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Furlong 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 theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs 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 Furlong 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Furlong. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
