“Sylveena watched our dog and two cats for the weekend while we were out of town. Her communication was exceptional, consistently exceeding expectations. She sent multiple pictures and updates of each pet, giving us peace of mind while we were away. We were new to having someone watch our pets at home, but she handled everything with ease. When we returned we had happy pets and a clean home. We highly recommend Sylveena for the care of your beloved pets.”
“Saige did a great job taking care of our pup. It felt good knowing she was watching our house while we traveled. Our dog felt loved and cared for, our house was tidy after she had left, and it was over all a great experience!”
“Amazing, per usual. Our flight got belated by about three hours and she stayed later to make sure my animals were taken care of and fed. Highly recommend Lulu’s services.”
“Lydia took the absolute best care of our dog Fynn while we were on vacation for the week. She was extremely responsive and diligent with our dog and with me. We got pictures of him and her playing every day. She was very respectful with our home. She even took in our mail :). She is very good with dogs and anyone who has her as their Rover is a very lucky person! We will absolutely be booking her in the future for our next vacation!! 100 out of 10: would recommend Lydia!!!”
“OMG Tony is amazing! I wanted to leave a one star only so he's always available for us! He took on our 3 dogs like a champ. One puppy and one senior with mobility issues and meds. He ran in the back yard with the puppy and treated our senior like an absolute queen by catering to all her special needs. ! Not only were our dogs treated like royalty but our home was clean and he washed the bedding from his stay. He sent me so many pictures during our short time away. I could not recommend him more.”
About: I've taken care of cats & dogs for as long as I can remember. I have experience with puppies, senior doggos, kittens, and difficult cats. I am typically off around 4pm Monday - Thursday, & noon on Fridays. My work schedule is pretty flexible and adjustments can be made. Weekends that I am in town are open availability other than Church on Sunday mornings! My cat is not a fan of other pets so all services would be provided outside of my home. I will keep your precious pet safe, and send lots of cute update pictures!
“Alex was awesome at making sure Pearl was taken care of- but more importantly calmed my nerves about leaving her behind. Very responsive. Knowledgable. Patient. Flexible. Just some words to describe the type of care you and your pup will receive.”
About: What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and ability to make pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, including senior dogs and anxious pets. I make sure pets stay on their normal routine, get plenty of attention, and care, and I always keep owners updated with messages and pictures so they feel confident their pets are in good hands. Since I am currently on summer break, I have a fairly flexible schedule and free time to dedicate to pets throughout the day. This allows me to give dogs consistent attention, exercise, playtime, walks, and care while keeping them on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I also keep the home clean, provide updates and pictures to owners, and make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their family is away.
“Jennifer was wonderful with Bambi! She was kind, reliable, and took great care of her while following all of our instructions. It gave us peace of mind knowing Bambi was in good hands. We’d happily book with her again!”
“Jill was everything you want in a Petsitter. She was timely, responsible, trustworthy, and she followed my (extensive) instructions to the letter. She was able to care for one of my pets who is recovering from a knee injury and followed his medical instructions perfectly as well. She also went above and beyond just caring for my pets and took care of numerous additional household tasks such as bringing in mail and packages, etc. I will be using Jill again!”
“This is the third time we’ve had Pamela stay with our pups. I can’t say enough good things about her. Our fur babies are always cared for as if they belong to her, and she leaves our house in excellent condition!”
About: Hi, I’m Selena! 🐾 I’ve spent the past 10 years working with animals in a variety of settings, including animal shelters, a grooming salon, a veterinary hospital, dog daycare, and a dog park/bar. My experience has given me a well-rounded understanding of animal care, behavior, grooming, health, and what it takes to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take in pride in my communication (I will send photos and updates), following care instructions and caring for your pet like family because they are 😊. Because I work a consistent 9–5 schedule, I’m available for pet care before or after work, as well as on weekends. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medication administration, or just some extra snuggles, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. ❤️🐶 If pet parents require a specific need for safety, I am happy to accommodate. I allow pets to free roam and be on furniture. I have multiple dog stairs leading to the couch to make it easier for pups who may have a harder time reaching high places. Everyone will be fed separately and on schedule.
“What happy puppies! Thank you so much. I can tell they enjoyed your time with them. They were calm and happy to see me. They did look for you like, ‘hey where’s our new friend?’ I will definitely check out your availability when I need to travel again!”
“Kasey did such a good job with my Billy bear. She left my place the way she found it, kept it clean so I didn’t have to come home to a mess after a long day of travel, she kept my plants alive, and most important of all she gave all the lovins and care to my special boy. Was comforting knowing he was in great hands while I was away on a trip. Will absolutely rebook and recommend to all my friends!”
“Jessica did an amazing job taking care of my cat Opie. He's a pandemic baby and I work remotely, so he is used to someone being around most of the time, he's spoiled and requires spoiling. Jessica stayed at my apartment with Opie, communicated with me, sent me pictures. She also went above and beyond, she stripped the bed, washed the sheets, took my regular trash and Opie's litter box trash to the dumpster, none of which did I ask her to do. I was very happy and lucky to have someone who cared that much.”
“Maddie was incredible with our dog Molly while we were gone on vacation. She exceeded my expectations which is hard to do because molly is treated better than most humans. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting your furry babies well taken care of.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Longview
Saige was great! She thoroughly read my instructions for care and also kept me updated when she would be gone for an extended time. My pups were very well cared for and I have a peace of mind when Saige is the one caring for them and I’m away. She also is super respectful of my house and charges such a reasonable fee! I really appreciate her and am happy I found her.
We loved having Jennifer at our home with our creatures. Great pics, our home was ready for us to return, there was even a basket of freshly grown produce from Jen's garden on the counter! Also, the pups got a ride to Andy's for a frozen yogurt, those pics were hilarious! All in all, we'd absolutely recommend Jennifer and we know our creatures look forward to her coming back.
Kathryn is phenomenal. I have had her housesit for my 3 year old 10 pound toy poodle twice now. He suffers from separation anxiety and cannot be left alone for very long. The 2 times Kathryn has sat for me I was gone for long weekends. She stayed with him the entire time never leaving him alone. He absolutely adores her and is extremely comfortable with her. She is very loving and has no problems following the instructions I leave for her. I will only have her sit with him.
Carmen went above and beyond! Her communication is too notch, keeping us updated on how they are doing. Our dogs immediately loved her when they met her and all the pictures she sent, they look deliriously happy! So grateful that we could have our trip with complete peace of mind knowing our fur babies were well loved!
Tiffany was the perfect sitter for our boy Frankie! She provided excellent care for him while we were out of town over Christmas. She was attentive to all his needs- including giving medication he needed for an ear infection that popped up right before we left town. Tiffany offered to meet Frankie and I before we left town which was super sweet and helpful so Frankie had familiarity with her before we left town. Tiffany stayed in our home with him and sent me daily updates and pictures. She also took him on walks and played with him in the back yard! The updates she provided let me know she spent good quality time with him and that made me feel super comfortable while we were away. I will definitely use Tiffany again in the future and would recommend her to anyone. So thankful that we found her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Longview
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Longview on Rover is $43.73 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 1,522 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Longview. 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 Longview 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 Longview 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 Longview 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.
