“Abby did a great job looking out after my two dogs! She left earlier today before I got home. Dogs were taken care of and the house locked up. Not 20 minutes after she left the house, a neighbor of mine called and said they had Buddy. He had escaped the yard somehow! I contacted Abby and asked if she could go back to the house and deal with that situation. She didn’t hesitate! I got back from out of town and found the dogs happy and healthy like nothing ever happened! Thank you Abby for the extra care!!”
“Tierra was wonderful! Our dog Hank loved her as soon as he met her at our meet and greet 😊 She did an amazing job watching him, she sent great updates and pictures and Hank had so much fun with her! We came back to a very happy guy after his time with her 😊 we will definitely use Tierra again”
“this was the second time we used Wini to care for our dog, Sadie. Wini stayed with Sadie for 3 weeks so we could take an European bucket list trip over the holidays. Wini is amazing and provided such wonderful care for Sadie, we rarely worried about being gone. Communication remains excellent and the care provided by Wini is superior. I am certain we will book with Wini again when we need her supreme care! Thank you Wini.”
“She did a great job with our two crazy dogs and put up with us asking for pictures everyday. The house was clean when we got home and both of our dogs seemed like they had a great time!”
About: I have 7 years of pet care experience! I have taken care of animals as small as mice to as large as horses and everything in between! I have experience in kennels, grooming, training, and as a veterinary assistant! I also have my dog and cat first aid and cpr certification! I’m currently a student so my hours are very flexible! I can help from early in the day time until late at night and everything in between! I have a fenced in yard and and a dog park in walking distance! My home also has room for pups to run and play!
“Jackie is absolutely amazing! She is truly the best. Jackie watched our two small pups for 4 days while we were on vacation and she was so good to our dogs by following their schedule, their needs, extra loves, outside time and overall making sure they were happy while we were gone. She sent pictures and videos every few hours to inform us how they were doing. I will only be booking with Jackie in the future!! :)”
“Jade took great care of Coco and our house! She was very communicative and kept me updated on Coco during my week long trip. Our regular sitter canceled at the last minute and Jade saved us! I will absolutely book her again!”
About: I’m not claiming to be the best pet sitter, but here’s what I do know. I love animals & I love a clean house! A little about me—I'm a 51 year old, mom of 2 twenty year old college students, & a big wellness chaser. I absolutely love animals and have always enjoyed caring for pets as if they were my own. Spending quality time with animals is something I genuinely look forward to, whether that's going for neighborhood walks, playing outside, or simply keeping them company. As an active tennis and pickleball player & runner, I appreciate being outdoors as often as possible. I also understand how important it is to leave a home exactly as I'd want someone to leave mine. I take pride in being clean, organized, and respectful of other people's spaces. My goal is always for homeowners to return to a happy, well-cared-for pet and a spotless, welcoming home. I'm comfortable following feeding schedules and administering medications as well. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m an active person, and caring for a pet complements my lifestyle perfectly. During the week, I easily schedule morning and evening walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship around my work schedule (which is flexible), and my tennis and pickleball activities. On weekends, my schedule is even more flexible, allowing for extra walks, outdoor adventures, and quality time. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so making sure they’re happy, exercised, and well cared for is always a priority. I understand that leaving a beloved pet in someone else’s care requires a great deal of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, exercise, and any special preferences or routines you’ve established. I also believe a calm, tidy home helps pets feel secure. I’ll treat your home with the same respect and care I do my own, keeping it clean, locked, and well maintained. I’ll make sure your pet has plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while also watching for any changes in behavior or health. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving excellent care until you return home.
“Shasta covered a last minute house sitting request for us, an absolute life saver! We came home to a very happy pup. I highly recommend Shasta - our girl is deaf and on daily medications and she seemed very comfortable providing the care needed for our special girl.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I personally own two cats. I have dog/cat sat for weeks on end with no issues. I love to play fetch with the dogs and play with cats when they find the time! I will drop everything I can to ensure that the animals in my care are well taken care of and that the area around them is better than when I arrived. I currently work in Spokane, WA at an accounting firm from 8-5 everyday with an hour lunch break. I am free almost every weekend and would love to spend time with some animals in my free time. I keep all areas clean; I clean up after the animals 2+ times a day or when necessary. I ensure they are fed at the correct times with the correct amount of food and ensure that their water is clean and full every day. I give tons of love to the animals and respect the owner's rules and regulations. I keep in contact, during the stay, with the owner if that is what they prefer.
“Katelyn was wonderful! She was able to step in and watch my dogs for me while I was out of town on a last minute work trip. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures. Will definitely rebook with her!”
“Marcus was great! He stayed with my high energy dog for over 2 weeks, sent me a bunch of pictures, tidied up, and took really great care of him!! I didn’t have to worry at all 😊”
“Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic and we cannot thank her enough. Circumstances ended up being less than ideal as halfway through our trip hurricane Helene decided to hit, but she kept our babies safe and took care of our house the best she could. We would definitely trust her with house and pet sitting in the future and recommend her for anyone looking for top notch care.”
About: I love all animals and all breeds. Since I was young I have been caring for and around numerous types and breeds of animals. I have learned that much like people every dog, cat, lizard, etc has its own personality and needs. Im ready and willing to give your pets the best care and love imaginable while you're away. Im not afraid of difficult animals with harder temperaments. Im patient and want to be your pets new friend. This will be one of the main ways I earn money in parallel with Uber eats. If I take a pet sit job it will be prioritized over UberEats. My days and nights are pretty open. Im a single father of an almost 3 year old little girl. She loves animals too and if your fur baby is ok with kids she would love to play as well. I will follow all stipulations and requests for your pet to help keep their routine and keep them comfy and happy. I have a decent sized property. Some fenced. Most open. We are out in chattaroy so not much of the city by us. If your pets like other dogs/animals we do have 3 dogs that regularly visit the property. They all 3 are extremely friendly and playful. As I said above I will follow all regimens and requests by owner to keep your pets happy and comfortable in their routine.
“Jasmine did an excellent job watching our two dogs, Grizz (German Shepherd) & Oliver (Papillon)! She even stayed overnight with them when we were out of town! Our dogs loved her as she fed them, played with them and enticed them with doggie treats! She went above and beyond, and even washed the sheets after staying the night! I highly recommend her!”
About: Took care of a natural history museum’s (Sternberg natural history museum) animals for a year. Did the same at a zoo (Rolling Hills Zoo) for 6 years. Studying wildlife biology / pre vet science with the end goal of being a wildlife veterinarian. I’ve personally owned pets all my life including many dogs, cats, fish, insects and lizards. Additionally I've been on Rover for years as a teen but my mother owned the account (if you’d like proof of that I can give my mothers account to see my prior experience) but I did all the sitting. Now that I’m an adult in college I plan on continuing it myself. During this summer I am just taking one summer online course and doing some volunteer odd jobs so I am extremely flexible and available. Whenever you prefer at whatever frequency you want I most likely can make it work. While I don’t offer pets in my home I am very familiar with managing pets in others homes. Just tell me what you and the pet is comfortable with and I will follow it. Additionally any messes that may happen I will make sure to clean throughly. My #1 priority is your pet’s health, mental and physical. However the very next priority is your home. When house sitting I’m more than aware of the need to be respectful of the space. I will do my best to leave it just as I found it, or even cleaner.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Long Lake on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 528 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Long Lake. 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 Long Lake 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 Long Lake 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 Long Lake 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.

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.
