“Lynlee is wonderful with our pupper and sends us lots of pictures and updates! We love having her and know Bella is safe, happy and loved with her! Makes going away less stressful!”
“She was great staying over night with my two cats. They both enjoyed Anna's company. She kept sending me pictures and videos of my babies.. They had a great time and I will use her service as many times as I need to. Thank you Anna for such a great job!”
“Linda loves our babies like her own, we never have to worry when Linda comes to our house to take care of the dogs. She promptly updates us on how the dogs are doing, and when they have been seen last, and she goes above and beyond to make sure that our dogs are well taken care of while we are away.”
“Ebony responded very quickly to my booking request and was able to accommodate to my request. She arrived punctual. She is a responsible, kind and loving person. Cacique enjoyed his stay with Ebony. She carefully followed all the instructions regarding care for my old diabetic, and blind doggy. I’ll book her again! Thanks dear Ebony!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and am comfortable with a wide variety of pets. I understand their needs, behaviors, and routines, and provide attentive, loving care to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Caring for animals has been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. I make time each day for feeding, cleaning, playtime, exercise, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I enjoy being around animals and am committed to keeping them happy, healthy, and comfortable while they’re in my care. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my clients’ homes, I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs so they receive safe, reliable, and loving care while their owners are away.
About: My Pet Care Experience I have two dogs of my own (ages 3 and 4), so daily pet care is second nature to me! I’m experienced in trimming nails, bathing, brushing and grooming fur, and keeping paws healthy with regular oiling. I give pets my full attention, offer lots of love and patience, and reward good behavior with treats; especially when they’re learning something new. My dogs even know how to open doors, I’m no stranger to clever pups! Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll treat them like family. My Routine & Availability I work part-time morning shifts serving breakfast (typically 5am–12pm), 3–5 days a week, so I have flexible availability throughout the week. I’m open daily from 12pm–2pm and again from 9:30pm–11:30pm. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my schedule I have plenty of time and energy to give pets the love and attention they deserve in between my shifts and evening workouts. I treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own dogs with patience, respect, and attention to their unique needs. Safety is my top priority, from secure play spaces to supervised walks and proper handling during grooming or feeding. I create a calm and positive environment where pets feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s giving them space to relax or rewarding good behavior with treats, I focus on building trust and comfort. You can absolutely count on me to care for your pet like family.
“Our sweet dog Millie loved having Catom over to watch her while we went out of town! Catom kept me informed while I was away and sent the sweetest pictures and videos of Millie everyday. I highly recommend using her to assist you in all your fur baby needs!”
“Mikalah took care of our three fur babies while we were out of the country. She made sure they had the best time and she kept me completely updated with so many adorable pictures daily. She left my house better than she found it. Can't wait to book her again for watching our pups!”
About: I have loved and owned dogs my entire life. I am good with all types - hyper, anxious, calm, or even grumpy pups. I have my own dog that also loves all other pups I am currently in between roles, so my schedule is open! Happy to help with last minute requests and/or regular check-ins as needed. If your pup has any quirks (jumps fences, chases squirrels, gets into trash, eats socks, hates the mailman) or aversions - just give me a heads up.

About: I've been working in the doggy daycare industry for over 5 years, so I'm very well versed in all things dog! From feedings to medication administration to grooming, I'm your girl! I've worked with dogs of all ages, ranging from 3 months to 12 years. Dogs are my passion and I'd love the opportunity to show what I can do to take the best care of your fur baby. I'm available for walks and drop-ins twice a day when I'm working. On my off days, I can walk or drop-in as many times as you'd like! I work with dogs on a daily basis, so I'm more than comfortable doing whatever is necessary to help acclimate myself into your dog's surroundings. It's extremely important to me that your fur baby feels safe!

About: Howdy fellow pet lovers. I’m Keith, and along with my daughter, Karsyn, we just launched a friendly dog service called Haywood’s Happy Hounds. I’m a husband and father of four beautiful children. I have been the owner of two Rottweilers and a Yorkie in the past, but now, we are raising an energetic, sparky Chiweenie named Krew LeBark Haywood and a friendly, playful GoldenDoodle named Reese L. Haywood alongside our children. My youngest daughter really took a liking to Krew when we got him as a wee pup, so she’s going along on this doggie journey with me. Don’t want to be in the rain? We’ll walk your GreatDane! Late starting supper? We’ll gladly walk your pupper. Need someone to puppy sit? We’ll watch your lovely, fluffy ShihTzu. Friendly dog, but no one to watch her? I’ll come sit your boxer! Whatever your doggie needs, our Daddy&Daughter tandem can provide it, indeed! Rain, sleet, snow or hail, we offer our services like the postal mail! We’ll treat your furry friends like one of our own and return them happier than when they arrived. I’m available most days and weekends for sitting. Just contact us and let us know when you’d need our friendly services. We’re looking forward to it. We have a nice sized, fenced yard, where our own dogs AND children love roaming around and playing in. I’m sure your pups will too.
“Absolutely amazed by Alexis and how well she did. Very professional and had no problem watching our house even with some of the extra tasks asked of her. Ive had sitters in the past but never have I come home to house that felt cleaner than when I left. I appreciated the daily updates and behavioral observations. 10/10 will use her again”

About: I was raised around animals, of all kind, my entire life. Rescued many due to job as rural letter carrier. God gave us dominion over all animals! I’m retired and newly relocated. Love the outdoors and being outside part of every day life. Lots places to roam around Although, just lounging inside works too. Although I do not have a fenced yard, there is ample space for walking. My own dog is free to roam, but is inside mostly. He sleeps on furniture and with me. He’s great around other dogs.
About: I have had a dog or cat in my life for over 5 decades. My parents raised dogs and taught me early in life how to care for pets. My heart has always belonged to some sort of pet from rabbits, guinea pigs to dogs and cats. Big dogs, smaller dogs and everything in between. I have loved them all. I am confident in my love and ability to care for all pets and appreciate my time with them. I feel pets are an essential part of my every day life. I am a Doggie Mama to 3 Basset hounds and a Rat Terrier who thinks he is a Basset hound. Our life is really blessed and very good and we wouldn't change a thing.

Lynlee was FANTASTIC! She took notes during her initial orientation visit and she took care of our dogs just like we do. When their were questions or concerns she reached out and followed our directions wonderfully. Definitely will rebook with her to take care of our puppers.
Catom was a great sitter. She always let us know what was going on through her visit. She took very good care of our cat and kept our house nice while we were away. We really appreciate her attention to the details. Thank you, we hope to have you come and sit again. Judy J.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
