“Ian did a great job taking care of my five year old Labrador. He was at the house almost 24/7 and sent me updates during the stay. Would definitely recommend him to others.”
“Deloris did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of Holly! From the start, communication was great, and we felt completely at ease leaving Holly (and our home) in her care. She kept us updated with regular check-ins and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.”
“Carmen was a pleasure to work with and my dogs loved her! She was very responsible and reliable, especially with two large and older dogs. O(n days when she knew she would be gone for the entire day, sha made time to come by the house during a lunch break to let the dogs out to pee. She would frequently send me photos and videos of the dogs also. I will definitely hire her again and if you are questioning a pet sitter's reliability, I can vouche for Carmen and recommend her to responsibly look after you dogs while you are out of town.”
“Laurie took such great care of Marcus, kept him company and made sure he was entertained and exercised while I was out of town. She sent thorough daily updates with pictures and video. I returned home to a happy puppy exhausted and ready for a full night of sleep!”
“Lindsey was a great communicator, respectful of our home, and handled our fur babies well. She kept us informed of issues while we were away and was also responsive with any questions or concerns we had. We'd hire her again and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter. Thank you Lindsey!”
“Orianne was amazing with our girl Brandy. She took the time to work through Brandy’s anxiety and was so patient and understanding along the way. It’s hard to come across sitters that pay attention to every little detail, but Orianne is beyond detailed oriented. Will definitely be booking her again without hesitation.”
“You can tell Kadyah has a true love for dogs by the care she gives them. I had her house sit my puppy and literally had so much peace of mind due to her frequent check in and updates on how he was doing. I highly recommend anyone to book with her. She did a fantastic job with meeting the many needs my puppy had. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Andrea is a great caretaker of pets and homes. She followed all directions and even cleaned up when one of my elderly cats didn’t make it to the litter box. She washed all the bowls and left them for me, as well as taking out the trash and making sure the cans ended up in the recycling. I will definitely book her again!”
“Jeannie is wonderful. She always provides great communication and pays attention to detail. Thank you Jeannie for putting me at ease when I have to leave my babies ❤️”
“Wow, what a terrific dog sitter and dog walker. Eric is a trustworthy and reliable person. He met our little dog and immediately bonded with him. We have used his services since we moved to DC two years ago and feel blessed. Eric helps us with dog walks and dog sitting. He is very thorough and takes notes of any issues, treat schedules, or favorite toys. He also sends us lovely updates with photos of our little cockapoo. We are so happy with Eric he deserves 6 stars as a rating. Thank you, Eric!”
“Renee was fantastic. They were able to step in last minute and even fit in a meet-and-greet beforehand. They took excellent care of both my home and my dog, keeping everything in great shape. Plenty of exercise, thoughtful attention, and consistent updates throughout the weekend. I’d definitely book with them again!”
About: I've been watching family & friends pets for years. I have watched their pets for weekends and as long as two weeks. I love animals and in particular dogs of all sizes. I have taken care of all kinds of dogs ranging from a Chihuahua to a 200lb Cane Corso. I can often be found walking and playing with dogs in Old Town's parks and sidewalks. I work from home and have no problem waking up early or going out late to walk your dog. I'm familiar with following strict care rules or lax "hop on the bed/couch rules". I am comfortable watching your beloved family member on the weekdays or weekendends. I'm an active guy and can take your dog out for a walk/then as needed. I'm a respectful person and have house sat/ watched the pets of the former CIO of the white house. I am happy to stay at your place, or stop by to care for your place/ pet as needed. I am also comfortable housing your pet in a 3 bedroom townhome - walking distance from a huge pet friendly park. I work from home at an Education Technology company and will take frequent breaks from staring at the screen to play with and give your pet attention.
“Emileo truly went above and beyond in every possible way while caring for our pets! Benji, Cleo, and Garp had the absolute best time with him and it was so clear they were happy, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. He was exceptional with communication, sending frequent updates, photos, and videos that gave us complete peace of mind and made us feel connected even while we were away. It’s rare to find someone this attentive, reliable, and genuinely invested in your animals’ well-being! He even went the extra mile by keeping our home clean and tidy, which we really appreciated. He took Benji and Garp on fun car rides and park walks, making sure they got plenty of exercise and enrichment. Benji enjoyed some much-needed playtime and fetch, while Garp, who is usually nervous and hesitant on a leash, was able to explore comfortably, which meant so much to us. We couldn’t recommend Emileo enough and would trust him again in a heartbeat!!”
“Gem was everything we hoped for and more in a dog sitter! She was extremely attentive to our pup’s needs and very communicative with us while we were away. The pictures/updates she sent regularly helped us feel at ease. We absolutely look forward to booking her again!”
“Holly was amazing and a life saver. She responded so quickly when we needed last minute help and kept us updated the whole time. Plus our house was impeccable when we arrived. We’re truly thankful and highly recommend her!”
“Kaylie is truly spectacular. She took great care of our two dogs, was so patient with them, and kept us in the loop the entire time. We could not have been more at ease knowing our two furry friends were getting the best possible care while we were away! 10/10 would book again and again!”
“Randy watched my pup at my place, and I highly recommend him! My dog is anxious and sometimes goes on hunger strikes while I’m away, and Randy was watchful of him to make sure he was eating. Randy was communicative with several rounds of photos throughout each day, and he was respectful of my home while staying with my pup. Great experience!”
About: I have been taking care of cats since I was 6 years old, and I started pet sitting in elementary school. In the past I've watched dogs, cats, fish, birds, rodents, crustaceans, and reptiles. I make sure to treat every animal as if they were my own. I currently live with my cat the DMV area. Also, I painted the Big Blue Cat in Old Town Alexandria! I work from home remotely. This means I am often available to stay home with your pets or to check on them throughout the day! I am comfortable caring for multiple pets and kinds of animals at a time. I am also sensitive to the special needs of each pet. I'll take care of your fur babies and your home too.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Huntington is $52

Brianna was amazing with my dogs! She followed all care instructions perfectly and was very communicative. I received so many adorable pictures of my pups and felt confident they were with someone who truly cared for them. I will definitely be using Brianna again!
Rachel was spectacular in every way! From my first message, she was communicative, accommodating, and overall very easy to work with. She gave my dog a fantastic week while I was away on vacation and put my mind at ease with regular check ins and photos. She also went above and beyond by leaving my home spotless at the end of the booking. I can't recommend her highly enough!
We were so happy go have Issi (Cynthia) housesit and care for our high energy cat. Our sweet cat has asthma and Issi was so helpful in administering his inhaler daily, as well as cleaning ears as he’s prone to ear infections. Our cat is part of our family and Issi made sure to play with him and keep him company while we were away. We were so grateful to her and she treated our house with respect. She also communicated very well and sent updates with pictures, which I appreciate. Highly recommend Issi!
Jhon did a really wonderful job in looking after Hugo and Oliver. He was incredibly focused on their needs and gave us timely updates on how they were doing while we were away. You can tell he is a dog person; he made sure they had everything they needed and was really warm and caring with them. We will use Jhon again - he exceeded our expectations.
Jordan took great care of our sweet old gals. He was amazing with sending updates and photos so we did not have to worry and the pups were relaxed and happy. He spent lots of time loving on them, which is important to us since we work from home and they are used to getting a lot of human attention. Thank you, Jordan!
Tara did an excellent job taking care of Ducky! She gave him lots of attention, gave great updates, and followed all instructions perfectly. Ducky is an anxious pup who loves being with his people, and we were so relieved he had Tara to look after him. Will rebook again!
Catarina was absolutely wonderful! We felt so comfortable leaving our home and pets in her care while we were away for the weekend. She was attentive, thoughtful, and incredibly conscientious. She sent us adorable pictures and regular updates, took wonderful care of our dogs and cat, and even went above and beyond by rescuing our plants during a terrible storm! She treated our home and pets as if they were her own. It was such a relief knowing everything was in such capable and caring hands. We came home to happy pets and a well-cared-for house. We would happily welcome Catarina back anytime and highly recommend her! ❤️🐾
Jason was absolutely exceptional! We were away for a week, and he took amazing care of our dogs. We came home to two very happy pups and a house left in perfect condition. He consistently sent updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. He was also a great communicator and always kept us informed of any issues or concerns. It’s clear that Jason genuinely cares about the pets he looks after, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We 100% plan to use him again! 10/10 recommend — your pets will be in the best hands with Jason!
Jaidyn was absolutely wonderful and was great with our two cats. She was always communicating with us, very responsive, and even went over and above when our train was delayed by staying a little longer with our cats than planned. She also sent us pics and asked questions whenever something needed clarity. I highly recommend Jaidyn for house-sitting your cats!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Huntington is $60 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $107 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 pet’s 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 October 2026, there are 9,866 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Huntington. 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 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.
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 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 , 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.
