“Gloria took excellent care of our two dogs, sent regular updates, and was flexible in handing them off to the next person who was set to watch them. Would definitely have her take care of Yote and Jumanji again.”
“Kate is wonderful! She cared for our two fur-babies, in our home, for five days. We also enjoyed three home play dates before our trip. I am convinced that my babies love her more. She took great care of our home and pups. I highly recommend her services. She is super clean, friendly, personable, and intelligent. Only a few things i love about Kate in the short time we’ve been acquainted. I might schedule more playdates just to have her over. Thank you Kate!!! You are a gem. 🐾💕🏡❤️🥇”
“Erin was awesome! My rather neurotic diva dog really took to Erin and her family. My baby girl did really well, because Erin took the time to get down on her level and give her lots of attention. I will be hiring Erin again for my next trip out of town.”
About: Hi ! My name is Iris I’m currently 23 been taking care of dogs for about 5-6 years now and I enjoy being able to be around animals and take them on new adventures. I’ve take care of all sizes of dogs and cats, I currently own quail, cats and 2 dogs! I’m currently not working, but do plan to look for something in the future. I’m available all throughout the week and weekends, I can work around your time when I’m needed I care for pets at my home as if they were my own, I have a fenced yard that’s about half an acre to an acre that they can run and have fun with me and finish off with a hike as we own 5 acres, I do own 5 cats but can put them in the spare room if any dog I watch isn’t comfortable with cats. My dog isn’t friendly to new dogs so he will be upstairs and let out through another door to go outside. Your pets can roam my downstairs area freely without being bothered by any pets and get to cuddle with me on the couch! & if I ever watch your animals at your home I’ll follow all your expectations and rules.
About: I've had all kinds of animals my entire life, and now working on teaching the importance of responsibility and love for our four-legged fur friends to my own little boy! Looking for a way to connect with my community and help with those who need safe and secure care for their fur babies! I work part time at a coffee shop and have to be home early mornings and late afternoon for my son but am flexible! With proper communication, I can make what works best for your pup, work for me too! Mid-day check ins and walks are usually great on weekdays, and I an more available early mornings and late afternoons on weekends but don't be afraid to reach out and share what you're needing! The best place for a pup is their home! I can ensure that your dog's space will stay tidy and fresh! I think it's so important that each animal has a comfortable, safe and seperate place to lay, to eat, to play and to do their business!
“Trace, care well for our dog Pluto, and watched over home. Trace and Pluto got along well , Pluto felt comfortable with him. We had a couple of meets before sitting and enjoyed conversation with Trace and wife Sam. Of course the dog and some emotions, of separation. Trace was quick to get him occupied on toys. Overall good experience. Would recommend.”
About: I’ve owned animals since I was 10 and have cared for friends animals while they have been on travel. My animals are my family and are treated as such. I recently retired early and have time to spend at home with animals. Lots of land for exercise and all pets stay inside with me. I live on six acres with two dogs, two mini donkeys, a goat and a horse. The entire property is fenced with a barn and shelter for large animals.
“Isabella house sat/cared for my sweet girl for me while I was away for 4 days. I couldn’t have made a better choice. She took such good care of juju, walked her every day, gave her lots of snuggles and even took her to play with some pup friends. She also bathed her and brushed her for me. She took good care of my house and left it cleaner than when I left! Thank you again Isabella! We appreciate you!”
“Brooklyn is a dog whisperer! She took incredible care of our two dogs! She was so sweet, our dogs loved her, very communicative, lovely photos, and extremely reliable. Highly highly recommend her! We will be booking with her again.”
“I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about Marie!! We’ve used multiple sitters on Rover before, and she is in a league of her own. She went so far above and beyond—sending tons of photos and videos, keeping our home spotless, and even helping set up a water fountain and troubleshoot our cats’ picky eating habits. It’s clear she genuinely cares. Most importantly, she loved our cats like they were her own, and that meant everything to us. She was truly an angel and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her. We will absolutely be using her again—she deserves every bit of recognition! Thank you so much Marie!!”
“Erich and Sarah were absolutely wonderful. They gave daily updates and reached out with any questions not covered in my notes. They took great care of our boys and our home.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since elementary school. Training horses and dogs has been my passion. Understanding dogs instincts and pack language helps me better serve their unique needs and personalities. My 35 years of animal care encompasses dog sitting, training, flying cross country on cabin with pup, breeding, and rearing physically and emotionally solid pups. I’ve ventured with my 4-legged buddies on hikes, walks, beach trips, long car drives, hotel stays, retirement homes, schools, river floats, horse rides, ranch work, and river walks. Living in the beautiful PNW there’s always fun to have with our pooches! I’m a work at home mom with four children and a beautiful tribe of animal, loving people. Kids and animals have routines to thrive. There’s always someone home to be with the dogs so no fur babe left behind on our watch. We go places the dogs can ride with us. Exploring the logging roads and nature walks are everyone’s favorite. Fenced yard and doggo doors allow for in and out as they please while at home. Routine starts with breakfast. Then it’s playtime with the kids while farm chores take place. If your dog eats 3x a day we’ll do lunch, more playtime, rest time since this is equally as important. Mental stimulation to stay sharp means using snuffle rugs, treat dispensers, hand feeding meals while reinforcing manners and obedience. My kids have a schedule and boundaries as do the animals giving everyone peace of mind.
About: I have been caring for animals for most of my life. We had 2 Doberman when I was a baby which led to me always having a dog or cat in my life. I'd love to meet yours! I will be the only walker handling your pets through this profile. I am available for short, elderly walks to long, youthful puppy runs. Ready to talk, feel free to shoot a message over to talk about your needs for your animals :D I will be the only walker handling your pets through this profile. I like to ensure your pet has a clean, safe environment. All hazards will be picked up promptly, as well as any potty spotted in the yard or accidents in the house.
About: I’ve taken care of all animals since a young age. I strive to be someone reliable that you can count on and trust with your babies! I have a very flexible schedule since I have my own business and would be more than willing to help other people out with their pet care needs and would make sure to be reliable and always communicate! Making sure that the fur babies have love and feel safe with me is most important so gaining that animals trust. I am a big spoiler and love to play with them and cuddle them! I have a dog of my own so I have experience in everything. Feeding, walking, administering medication, etc…. And also taking to appointments!
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful! She took incredible care of my dogs and cat sending regular updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She is professional, reliable, and genuinely loves animals. Added bonus is my house was spotless.i can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be booking her again”
About: Besides my experience with my own pets I began volunteering at the Oregon Humane Society at 17. After that I went on to dog sit for various different families part time for around 3 years. I have a big window of availability currently. I’m going back to school in the fall, but until then I am just working part time. I work for my grandpa, so my schedule is super flexible! When I dog sit in the clients home I will follow your instructional list for feeding/walks/ activities/ grooming ect. I have car so I can take your pup to nearby parks/ dog parks if you would like, or just for a classic stroll around your neighborhood if you prefer. For clients that would prefer I take car if you dog in my home I have a fenced in back yard and live near several park so we can go on several adventures. Or just chill at home if you have a senior/ more low energy dog. My only deal breaker is that your dog isn’t reactive towards cats.
“Alexia was very responsive during the coordination & scheduling phase, excellent with communicating updates and asking questions as needed while watching our puppy, and handled our new, energetic puppy very well.”
“Karen was an incredible dogsitter and we feel luck to have found her! She was communicative, great with our high-energy dog and took good care of our home. We look forward to Karen dogsitting in the future and highly recommend her!”
About: I truly love all animals, and I bring a patient, gentle, and attentive approach to every pet I care for. I’ve had my own dog in the past, which taught me how to understand animals, support their needs, and train them with consistency and kindness. Because of that experience, I’m comfortable helping with puppies who need guidance as well as older pets who require a little extra care and calm. I choose to do pet sitting because I genuinely enjoy spending time with furry companions, even though my current lifestyle doesn’t allow me to have a pet of my own right now. That means when your pet is with me, they get my full presence, affection, and dedication. My goal is always to make them feel safe, loved, and understood, just like they deserve. My schedule is very flexible, especially during the fall and winter months when my workload is quieter. I work as a caterer during the summer, but outside of that season I have plenty of free time—making it easy for me to give pets lots of attention, consistency, and care. When I’m house-sitting, your pet becomes my priority. I don’t have many daily obligations, so I’m able to stay present, follow their routines closely, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for throughout the entire stay. Pets get my full attention, whether that’s playtime, walks, or simply being a calming, reliable presence at home. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to maintain their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I take time to understand each pet’s habits—feeding schedule, walk times, play preferences, and any special needs—so I can follow them exactly. I treat your home with the same respect as your pets: keeping everything tidy, secure, and calm. I spend plenty of quality time with your pet, whether that’s playing, going for walks, practicing gentle training cues, or just offering company and comfort. I’m patient, attentive, and always tuned in to their energy and emotional needs. I also make sure to give regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your fur baby is doing. My goal is for you to feel totally at ease, knowing your pet is receiving genuine care and your home is in good hands.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Longview
Bailey watched our two dogs while we left on a long weekend trip. She was very professional, on time and provided multiple pictures and updates. I felt confident with Bailey that our dogs would receive great and compassionate care while we were gone. I won’t hesitate to use her to watch our dogs on future trips we take
Kate is wonderful! She cared for our two fur-babies, in our home, for five days. We also enjoyed three home play dates before our trip. I am convinced that my babies love her more.

The average cost of House Sitting in West Longview is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $55 per night.

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 West 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 West 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 West 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 with handling special pet needs in West Longview. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
