“Sarah was perfect! She took care of our two elderly dogs with loving care. It snowed while we were gone, which is unusual in our area, and she cleared a path for the dogs so they could continue to go outside. One of our dogs had recently started a new medication routine and Sarah handled that for us. She took good care of our house while we were away too. We were very pleased with the doggie care that Sarah provided!”

About: My family has a dog of our own that I have helped care for, for 15 years! I’ve also helped take care of a few other dogs for vacationing families. I am not currently working anywhere else, so I can spend plenty of time loving on and caring for your pet as of right now! I am happy to accommodate any needs your pet requires to feel safe and comfortable! Whatever their eating, sleeping, and walking routine is, I will make sure to keep intact!
“Robert and Lea were wonderful. My boy Kelly loved his time with them! Robert took great care of the house, even laundry. Lea watered plants and became Kelly’s new best friend. They were both very kind and gave Kelly a special chew bone as a gift. Wonderful people and will definitely request their services again.”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I started working professionally with dogs at a boarding and training facility when I was 15. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities, including puppies, seniors, fearful, reactive, anxious, aggressive, and special-needs dogs. I’m comfortable giving medications, providing exercise and enrichment, monitoring health and behavior, and keeping dogs safe and comfortable. I’ve also helped with professional dog training by reinforcing good behaviors and following trainer directed behavior plans. I’m heavily involved in my boyfriend’s work as a professional dog behaviorist, where I regularly help with sensitive, reactive, aggressive, and special-needs dogs. I also have two dogs of my own; a Husky and a Chocolate Lab. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when leaving your pets with someone else. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while in my care. My schedule revolves around the dogs! I have flexible, open availability and accept bookings on a first-come, first-served basis. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs whenever possible, and I’ll always do my best to make sure they get the time, attention, and care they deserve. I treat every pet as an individual and adjust my care to their personality, routine, age, and needs. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of attention. I’m especially comfortable working with dogs who may be nervous, reactive, anxious, senior, or have special needs, and I always prioritize safety and communication. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I also respect your home by keeping things clean, organized, and just as I found them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Longs on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 429 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Longs. 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 Longs 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 Longs 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 Longs 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.
