About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, providing dependable care that includes feeding, walking, playtime, and companionship. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine while their owners are away, and I strive to give every dog the attention and care they deserve Home from college for the summer, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I can easily work around your needs and provide care whenever it’s needed, whether that’s during the day, evenings, or overnight stays. I’d be happy to take care of your pet and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. I make sure every pet I care for feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after while their owner is away. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs so they get the right balance of exercise, attention, and rest, and I treat every pet with patience and respect as if they were my own.
About: I have a 5 year old husky and pitbull mixed dog named xena as well as a 9 year Old cat named Lilly! I was raised around animals (dogs and cats) we would take litters and rehabilitate them until they were ready to go to their forever homes and we would also rescue cats and dogs and rehabilitate them as well! I am looking to be a full time pet care provider! I only have to take care of my dog as well! I look forward to giving you all the assistance and helping as much as I can! I will ask what your preferences are like times they need to go out or feeding times and keep them plenty of company on my visits and make sure they are greatly taken care of.
“Brooklyn was excellent with our pups and bird. She was attentive to their needs and provided daily updates and pictures. She accommodated our early return for an emergency. Would not hesitate to use her again. Thank you”
“Ian was absolutely amazing! He kept us updated everyday about our pups and they absolutely loved him. Thank you for giving us a peace of mind while we were away knowing our pups were in good hands. Will definitely refer Ian to others!”
“Allen was great! I needed a last minute sitter and Allen was the perfect choice. Great communication and put up with my silly dogs with no complaints. Left my house in great condition. I look forward to having him stay with my beasties again. Thank you so much! 💜”
“Kate taking care of our cat allowed us to actually enjoy our nearly weeklong trip. Our cat has some difficult health issues, a finicky diet, and loves attention. We were so grateful for Kate’s updates, where it was so clear our cat was happy, healthy, and very well-taken care of. We’ve had several pet sitters over the years, and Kate was the best by far!”
“Cailin was the perfect sitter for our puppy, Wrinkles. She sent numerous photo updates throughout the day & was a great communicator. She treated Wrinkles as though she was her own. We will continue to use Cailin & would recommend her to any other pet parent!”
About: I have taken care of animals for the majority of my life whether that be nursing stray kittens back to health, assembling special meals for my dogs specific health requirements, or pet and house sitting for friends and family members so they could take a well needed vacation. I have always held a deep love for animals and a career where I can be around them all day sounds more like a dream than a job. While not a certified dog trainer I do have experience with training puppies for small tricks such as sit, place, stay, down, etc. and would be happy to teach your fur baby as I take care of them. As a full time student I have a very open schedule with asynchronous classes that allow me to be there when your fur baby requires. I make sure to keep my pets on a regular schedule with grooming, food, vet visits and play sessions so they may have the best experiences as they grow and develope.
About: I’m 28 years old and I live in Wilmington with my two kids. I had a German shorthaired pointer and I grew up with 3 labs so I’ve been a dog lover from the start. I’ve been working with dogs privately for almost 10 years so I have all the skills needed to take care of your pup! Currently I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is completely free. I have the ability to come to you whenever needed or wanted. I will care for your pet as well as you and will follow all instructions to insure your pet is well taken care of as if they were still with you.
“We found Alissa to be a very responsible person who truly enjoys caring for animals. She treated our dog and cat as if they were her own. She is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. My dog adored her and that means everything to us. It is apparent from the moment you see her interact with your dog that it is not just a business to her, it is her love.”
About: I have cared for pets that include a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and ages. I supervised my family’s pet rescue which consisted of approximately 20 dogs and 10 cats at any given time. Also, my father owns a dog daycare and pet-sitting business so I have several years of experience both dog walking and sitting. I have tended to and trained dozens of pups throughout my life. I am a full time student pursuing my master’s online. Therefore, I have a very flexible schedule that can easily fit you and your pets needs. I will cater to your specific instructions. Whether it be a pet that requires crating, taking them to the dog park, or administering strict dietary guidelines and medication, I will care for their needs in the same manner that you would! I am also extremely respectful of your space and will make sure I leave your home exactly how I found it.
About: NOTE: I am currently only pet and house sitting in client’s homes only, and doing a one week minimum. I am willing to travel for the right sit, so feel free to reach out even if it is outside of my area code :) Hi, I’m Glenna! I’m a registered nurse with many years of experience in women’s health, and I also work part time from home. I’m a single empty nester with time on my hands, and am now enjoying that by traveling to clients homes while they are away or on vacation. I am willing to travel almost anywhere; even a plane ticket away, if the stay requires at least a 2 week or more window of time therefore, don't let distance be a factor in choosing me. Animals have always been a big part of my life. My beloved dog Jax crossed the rainbow bridge last year, and I’m looking for something meaningful to help fill that void. I’ve had pets all of my life and have been dog sitting for years, so caring for animals feels natural and comforting to me. There’s nothing like the love and comfort they give and receive, and I cherish being part of that bond. You can count on me to keep your home in great shape and give your pets the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. I am also happy to do light chores like watering plants, take out trash, pick up mail, etc Even though I only have 3 testimonials on this site, I have been sitting for Trusted HouseSitters for a year now, and have done multiple sits across the country with 5 STAR REVIEWS😊 Please feel free to DM me for more information—thank you! 🫶🏼 I currently work remotely and part time therefore, I have a lot of time and attention to give to your home and fur babies! 😊 I can brush and groom, take walks, go to festivals, feed, give treats and even medications if necessary. (And don’t forget the hugs and kisses) 💋
“Kelsey did a great job watching my dog! She was very communicative and sent pictures! I really appreciate how she not only cared for my pup but also my home! Highly recommend her!”

About: Hi, all! Years of living with and caring for pets and working as a veterinary assistant has led me to be attentive, knowledgeable, and most importantly, so loving to any and all animals. I currently care for a pup, cat and ducks in my life. I intend to care for your pet as if it were my own! I am easy-going, flexible and willing to abide by any reasonable requests in care-taking. This won’t be considered “work” for me. It’s a bonus for the joy of spending time with and caring for animals and helping out pet parents as well :) I hope to meet you and your pet soon! Krista E. As far as my schedule, I am completely open during the daytime. I work evening shifts five days a week, but my schedule changes weekly. For walking: 1-2 walks a day from the hours of 8-3. I can also do night walks on days that I work, outside of the hours of 3-10ish, depending on the day. If I am off, I can walk at any time in the day or evening. I am willing to make multiple visits in a day. For House Drop-Ins: Similar to above, the evening times may vary. For House Sitting: I receive my schedule weekly, so I am available for overnight at least twice a week. However, if consecutive days are needed, I will be available for morning and afternoon care, but will have to leave for work and return afterward at night. Again, this time varies, so it will be either 3-8:30/9ish that I am gone, or 4-10/11ish. I can understand if this is an issue, but am willing to walk during the day, feed, and let out for a potty break as soon as I am able. I do not accept pets in my home because of the other animals already here, but as far as in yours, I am clean, courteous, quiet, respectful, and most importantly, there to keep your pet well-cared for, entertained, and at ease.

FAQs for House Sitting - Long View
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 723 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Long View. 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 View 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 View 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 View 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.
