“Communication with Allison was great and I always knew my dogs were doing well. She took great care of the dogs and my house, and my dogs instantly liked her. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Elizabeth took amazing care of our two dogs on short notice. Great communication and attention to detail resulting in happy pups! She was also very respectful of our home. Will definitely book her again, highly recommend! Thanks Elizabeth!”
“Cheyenne was terrific. I would love to have her stay here again. She was punctual, polite, and did a great job in general. Took my energetic, large dog to the dog park multiple times. She paid attention to everything I shared with her about the animals, and they were all happy. I have two cats as well.”
“Steven is great! He’s friendly and our dogs couldn’t have been happier and more well taken care of when we got home. He was quick to take our sitting job in a pinch and we look forward to having him hang with our dogs again in the future!”
“We love having Matt watch Lilly. She also loves when Matt comes to play with her, because she gets spoiled. He takes her on lots of walks and plays with her. We get lots of updates with pictures or videos.”
About: I have 5+ years of experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including multi-dog homes. I also have experience giving medications and caring for pets with special needs (cones, diapers, etc) I stay calm, pay attention to details, and make sure each pet feels safe and comfortable. On Mondays and Tuesdays, I’m unavailable for about 6–8 hours at a time. Wednesday through Sunday, my schedule is flexible, allowing for frequent check-ins, walks, and potty breaks throughout the day. I try to keep pets on their normal routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable and less stressed while you’re away. That means sticking to their feeding schedule, walks, potty breaks, and whatever they’re used to at home. I pay close attention to their behavior and adjust based on their energy level and personality whether they want to play, go for a walk, or just relax. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of the space and keep things clean and consistent. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, and I always keep owners updated so they know how everything’s going.
“Beatrice was so sweet with our 2 little pups. They took to her right away, and when we returned, they seemed to be very comfortable with her! We will certainly reach out to her on our next visit to Burlington. Thanks!”
“Kayleigh was great with my babies! She constantly communicated with me and kept me updated on how my dogs were doing. She did her best to get them to eat and be as comfortable as they could be. She genuinely seemed to enjoy them which gave me peace of mind and made be feel like they were being well taken care off. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Shannon! She followed our directions perfectly, making sure our dog felt comfortable and cared for. She even gave him lots of cuddles, which he loved. We found her to be reliable and trustworthy, and it was great to know our dog was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“My dogs loved Elise, even Jax who is more restrained with people. She sent pictures and asked questions which let us know she was taking everything very seriously. We would love to have her come again.”
“Sophie stayed with our Border Collie and 2 cats while we were gone and she was truly wonderful. She gave our pup good long walks and her calm presence even managed to coax our very skittish cat to come out of hiding. She sent lots of pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. We don't leave the animals often, so when we do, it's very comforting to know that they're in good hands. She also left the house in perfect shape. We highly recommend Sophie!”
About: I've been caring for animals since I was 12. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me with walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays in their homes. I take that trust seriously. I follow your pet's routine closely, keep their environment calm and consistent, and send photo updates so you're never left wondering how they're doing. Whether it's a high energy dog who needs a good run or a senior cat who prefers quiet company, I adjust my approach to fit each pet's personality and needs. My focus is always on safety, comfort, and making sure your pet feels at ease while you're away. You'll come back to a happy animal and a home that's been well looked after. My work is fully flexible, so I have plenty of availability for overnight stays any day of the week. For walks and drop-in visits, I'm available Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I work around your pet's normal routine to keep them comfortable and on track while you're away. When I stay in your home, it is extremely important to me that I prioritize keeping it clean and treating it as I would treat my own.
“Chris was so great with our dog. He provided frequent updates to keep our minds at ease while we were away and also left our house incredibly clean. Finding a trusted sitter is a leap of faith but we would not hesitate to book with Chris again. Our pup was in good hands.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 420 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 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.
