About: I've been caring for pets since I was 14 years old. What started with helping neighbors and family friends quickly grew through word-of-mouth recommendations from people who trusted me with their beloved pets. In addition to caring for others' animals, I grew up with a dog, cat, and guinea pig, giving me firsthand experience with the daily responsibilities and joys of pet ownership. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and my love for them inspired me to pursue a degree in Wildlife Science. After recently graduating and moving back home, I'm excited to reconnect with my community and find opportunities to care for animals again. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or providing companionship, I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry, scaled, feathered, etc. family members! Since moving back home, I have plenty of time throughout the week and on weekends, so collaborating our schedules will be simple and straightforward :) In your home, I will be sure to follow your specific care instructions very closely, as well as respect everything in the home as if it were my own. I love to send updates throughout my visits with pictures and videos so you don’t feel like you have to keep inquiring about how everything is going. Whether we're on a walk or spending time at home, I'll provide compassionate care and make sure your pet feels happy and comfortable.
About: Owned dogs since I was a child, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Irish Red & White Setter and a Chihuahua. Experienced with golden doodles and labs. Currently getting my pilots Licence’s and enjoy reading books I’m currently time building for my commercial Licence whenever the weather is good around 5 hours a day when possible. Usually busy at night around 5-8ish otherwise free. I have a tall fenced in yard where I play with my dog or walk him around my neighborhood. Otherwise he sits with me while I study or read.
“Andrea did such a wonderful job with our boys. We have a dog and a cat, and they both clearly loved spending a whole week with her. She had great communication, sending us photos throughout the day to keep us up to date. She was also incredibly respectful of our home, leaving it in perfectly clean condition for our arrival. We never worried about our boys throughout the week, which is the most we can ask for! Thank you Andrea!”
“Jordan did a fantastic job of taking care of my pup :) She sent regular updates, photos, and videos and was so sweet to him! She also left our apartment spotless and was so responsible; I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Absolutely incredible. I needed a sitter for my pup last minute and Jess went out of her way above and beyond to squeeze in a meet and greet as well as watching my furbaby. Super sweet, punctual, great communication and absolutely love and care for my furbaby. Highly recommend and would definitely rebook with when needed.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have a deep love for caring for them—especially dogs. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, from tiny Chihuahuas to energetic Australian Shepherds and strong, loving Pit Bulls. I’ve raised and trained puppies, and I’m also comfortable providing gentle, attentive care to senior dogs with special needs. Patience, kindness, and reliability are at the heart of how I care for every pet. I’m excited to combine my passion for dogs with meaningful, trustworthy care for your furry family member. Caring for animals is a natural part of my daily life. I structure my day around the needs of the pets I’m caring for—whether that’s morning walks, mealtime routines, playtime, or quiet companionship. I make sure every pet gets the attention, love, and consistency they need to feel safe and happy. Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to each day. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I take time to learn each pet’s needs—feeding schedules, energy levels, medical requirements, and favorite activities—so I can provide consistent, loving care. In my home, pets have a calm, secure space where they can relax and feel at ease. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their routine closely to minimize stress and help their pet feel comfortable in their own environment. I treat every pet like my own and do everything I can to make them feel happy, safe, and loved.
“Evelna was excellent. Our two large dogs were well cared for and loved. She was able to help us on short notice and was even able to take our dogs on a walk. She kept us updated on how they were doing with cute photos. Our dogs loved her and we will definitely try to book her in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m Cassandra, a caring, reliable, and experienced dog lover who has grown up caring for dogs and understands how much love, patience, and attention they need. I currently have a 6-year-old Bichon Shih Tzu who is a big part of my family, so I’m very comfortable with daily walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping a pup happy and comfortable. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and affection I give my own, while making sure every walk and sit is safe, fun, and stress-free! 🐾 if you are happy with my services, tips are greatly appreciated. I work part time in Huntington. I work Tuesday through Friday in office and Thursday’s remote, 10-4 Weekends are free, and Mondays I am off. I am very personable with animals and their parents. I take a lot of time and care into my work with pets and people, and their homes too.
About: I’ve always had a natural love for animals. I grew up with cats and even spent time caring for stray cats as a child. Loving and caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I currently have a dog and kitten of my own, and I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends for years. I also teach puppy yoga classes and have been doing so for a little over a year, which has given me even more experience understanding different dog breeds, personalities, energy levels, and needs. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I treat every animal as an individual and care for them the way I’d want someone to care for my own. Pets are family, and should be considered and treated as such. My background and approach in customer service, hospitality, and teaching wellness & mindfulness for over 8 years, translates to my ability, patience and capacity to nurture animals with this energy and intention too. I currently work part-time, so I have flexibility in my schedule and availability. I regularly care for my own dog and kitten at home. My yard is fenced with plenty of outdoor space. Depending on the clients home, I will follow their protocol in how they have their pets in the house and outdoors.
About: Neighbors and family have relied on me to care for their pets, including elderly and special needs animals, as well as exotic reptiles and birds, many times. I’m a part-time student in eco-toxicology at this time studying online so I’m around full time for pet care, feel free to reach out for care any day of the week! I live with my large family, and my roommates have two dogs and two cats, all of which are friendly. We have two spare crates for visitors so let me know if your dog is crate trained! Please keep in mind that my partner joins me for house sitting bookings. We have two cats together and he is also certified by Rover :)
“Ginia is truly a gift. She takes amazing care of our 3 dogs when we are gone. I never have to worry and can rest easy knowing how much care, compassion and love she puts into caring for them.”
About: I have worked at an animal hospital for 5 years about, as well as do pet care services on the side. I am well equipped to medicate, feed, and walk your fur baby I do mostly full-time at the animal hospital, but will have some free days to take care of your dog, cat, or any small pets. I will make caring for your pet and pets needs my highest priority when I am in your home. I will also send photos so you can see how your pets are doing.
“I had such a wonderful experience!! I have two cats and a senior dog who requires a little extra care and attention, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands with Anna. She was reliable, attentive, and so sweet with all three of our pets. Anna sent me so many pics and she kept us updated while we were away, which gave us such peace of mind! I would absolutely recommend her and and will definitely use her again! ❤️🐾”
“Julia was wonderful with Benny! She was clear, very communicative and went above and beyond to make sure he felt safe and comfortable with her — he’s a very shy dog but warmed up to her almost instantly. Would absolutely recommend to anyone for any service and would have her watch Benny again in a heartbeat.”
About: I am a Mom of two adult girls and have had dogs and cats as pets my entire life. My home is a loving, caring, safe and nurturing environment. Your pet will be cared for and loved as one of our family. I am home all day and your fur baby will under my constant watch and supervision. The day will include exercise and fun playing. I take safety very seriously and being a Beagle mom I’m fully aware of possible dangers and escape artists. I will never have more than 3 guests at my home at one time and even that is a rarity. I always conduct a meet and greet first, usually at Heckscher Park where I am sure everyone is friendly with each other and well behaved. My ultimate goal is to provide a happy, safe, enjoyable and loving stay for your baby so that your time away can be relaxing and fun as well. My guests will become part of the family when they stay with me - whether it’s out to the park or beach or watching TV or just relaxing. I am with my guests all day and have a double door and gate system and camera for security. Pups have their own couch and play area in my kitchen with large sunny windows to look out.
“Annie did a great job taking care of our boy. She is a very caring person and was wonderful with our baby and keeping us updated with pics and reports on how he was doing. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been blessed with being a lifelong dog owner since the age of 5 years old. That's over 50 years of feeding, walking and playing with all different kinds of dog breeds, both small and large dogs. I'm recently retired, so I have flexible hours daily. Taking care of your dog is just as rewarding for me as it is for them. I am currently concentrating on weekly, recurring walks or drop-in visits, either 1/2 hr. or 1 hr. I easily walk 10 miles a day, so I have no problem taking your dog on a nice long walk through your neighborhood. The 1 hour visits can be either 1 hour walks or a 1 hour mix of walking and playtime in your yard. It's up to you.
“Lilian was wonderful to work with. She took care of our dogs (14 and 7months) as well as our chickens. Lilian had no problem with following the instructions for the dogs meds and feeding. I was so nervous to go away with a medical senior but Lilian gave me piece of mind with her calm care, updates and communication. I would definitely recommend Lilian and I would definitely use Lilian again to care for our pets!”

Harrison did a fantastic job caring for our boys! They were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we returned home. Harrison stayed in constant communication, asked all the right questions, and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It’s such a relief to be able to travel knowing your dogs are in good hands. We truly appreciate everything he did. Thank you, Harrison! 🐾
We had such a great experience with Jen! She took wonderful care of both of our pups and our home while we were away, and we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She was communicative, reliable, and clearly gave them lots of love and attention. We’re so glad we found her and will definitely be using her as our go-to sitter moving forward!
We think Emma is great. She is very responsive and prompt. Emma sent us updates as well as a video and photos. Our senior dog Sam was well cared for and she was very attentive to him. Sam can become anxious but was happy and calm when we returned. We definitely recommend her for pet sitting.

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 Huntington 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 Huntington 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 Huntington 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.
