“Allison was great. My dog really adored her. She quickly responded to my request, and came over to meet my dog before spending time with him so she knew his routine. She stayed at the house, and left it the way I left it. Would definitely recommend her.”
“My dogs were happy and safe when I got home 😊. Charlotte was communicative and kind/trustworthy. I will be booking her again and recommend without hesitation.”
About: I've spent years hands-on with animals through my volunteer work with Saint Nicholas Animal Rescue and Merrymac Farm Sanctuary, and years of pet sitting growing up in NYC so caring for your pet isn't new to me, it's something I already do because I love it. I'm patient, attentive, and comfortable with pets who need a little extra reassurance. I treat every animal in my care like it's my own: regular check-ins, plenty of attention, and a personal update from me so you're never left wondering how your pet is doing. I have a dog myself and have had a cat(s) most of my life. I have taken care of cats that needed medication as well. Pet care fits naturally into my routine right now, my schedule is flexible since I'm building my own business, so I have real availability across weekdays and weekends rather than being squeezed into just a couple hours a day. I check in consistently and never rush a visit and will do my best to work around your schedule. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first. In my home, my dog Monty stays in his own separate space when I'm caring for a cat, so there's no stress or unwanted interaction. I keep a calm, quiet environment, follow any care instructions exactly as given, and send regular updates so you always know your pet is safe and well cared for.
About: I have experience working with dogs of all ages, l’m comfortable administering medications—I definitely have a soft spot for dogs with special needs! I have three dogs of my own and always travel with my smallest one, Meera, a 9lb chi mix who is very quiet and well behaved. I work at a doggie daycare four days a week so Friday through Sunday I’d be out of the house for about 8 hours a day. I am the lucky mama of three sweet rescue dogs named Jelly Bean, Frankie, and Meera. They are highly socialized due to the nature of my work and they join me for house sitting and pet care. A typical day includes frequent potty breaks/play sessions outside followed by low-energy training and relaxation, inside or out (weather dependent).
“Amazing job! Ale and Paul took great care of our three pets, a dog and two cats for a whole week. Our house was exactly as we left it. Communication was smooth and very reactive. I 100% recommend them and would book them again. Thank you!!”
“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!”
“Sukhpran IS AMAZING! She took such wonderful care of our old dog to the point where I swear she had been swimming in the fountain of youth while we were away!!”
“Isabel was amazing with my two very hyper dogs while I was out of town. She did a great job house & dog sitting for me. I appreciated the updates of the pups while I was gone. I would recommend her services & will definitely rebook.”
“This is a very late review, but Meghan is absolutely amazing!! We had a relatively last-minute booking for our two pups and were looking for someone to stay with them for a few days. Meghan was responsive, easy to work with, and made sure we/they had a chance to meet her before she stayed with them. The home visit went great, and our two (picky) dogs loved her. As an added bonus, my kids also loved her and tried to convince me that I should stay home with the dogs, and she should go with them on the trip! Meghan was understanding of our dog's needs/idiosyncrasies and knew the right questions to ask to ensure it was a positive experience for everyone. When circumstances changed and we had another pup unexpectedly added to the mix, she was accommodating and understanding. I cannot recommend Meghan enough and will definitely be reaching out to her for our next trip!”
“Janessa was great. She came to meet Peony before her stay, asked lots of great questions, and took time to get to know her. She provided lots of updates while I was gone, and I came home to find the house better than I left it. Would definitely book again!”
About: hi! I grew up with multiple golden retrievers and have my own 7-year old female golden. I adore dogs and have experience looking after multiple at once. I would welcome the opportunity to give yours some extra love!! I am very active and love to bring doggies on my trail adventures running, walking, biking and hiking. Dogs are like family in our home will Be given them abundant affection and attention they require in your absence. I am very attentive to their needs and expressions, and will take great care to accommodate the preferences and routine of your pooch. Dogs must be well house trained, minimally barky, and comfortable with other dogs. I work from home most days, so I can be available to provide company and daily exercise, potty breaks as needed, & loving care and attention to make your pooch feel at home. I have a golden retriever and we love snuggles, playtime and potty breaks in the back yard, adventures on the lake or in the trail, treats (if allowed!) and can follow any routines, training or preferences your pooch requires.
“Our family was grateful to be able to leave our home and boxer mix rescue with Kelly - she was very thoughtful, organized, communicative and right away our dog was at ease with her. He was one happy pup while we were away with lots of walks and attention. She also cared for our home. We would definitely recommend Kelly to anyone seeking care for their pet/s!”
“Karen is extremely kind and pleasant. It was hard to tell she was even here! She took great care of our dog, even giving him a bath! He was very happy with her. We would use Karen again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 411 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.
