“Alex did a great job with our high energy dogs and shy kitties. It's unusual for some of our cats to meet pet sitters at all, but they warmed up to her right away. She was very flexible about coming over to meet the animals and was able to fit us in at the last minute for two drop in visits. Will absolutely book her again and highly recommend!”
“Anna is absolutely amazing! I was so nervous to hire a “stranger” last minute for my trip but Anna made everything soooo stress free!!! She took perfect care of my pup, sent daily updates & was easily accessible via message! Anna is the best of the best!! ♥️♥️ so happy she is no longer a stranger !”
About: I have always had pets since I was a young girl. Dogs, cats, and even a rabbit named Honey! My passion and love for animals has inevitably made me the designated pet sitter amongst my family and friends, as they know I will always give their babies the upmost care and attention. My philosophy has always been: Your pet isn’t “just a pet” they are family and they have their own feelings and needs. When you’re away, I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for with the same patience, attention, and affection I would give my own. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routine, quirks, and individual needs, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions that you may require. You can also expect plenty of communication from me, including consistent updates, photos, and quick check-ins so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, happy, and comfortable, so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup, earn their trust, and give them some extra love and companionship when you need to get away! I have a small business and create my own schedule so I am very flexible on a daily and weekly basis. I prefer a few days notice for any overnight stays or cancellations, otherwise I’m open and available for you and your pups! I typically like to follow the routine that the owners have set in place regarding walks, potty breaks, feed times, wind down, and anything else that might establish a sense of normalcy for your dog even when you aren’t around. I’m always willing to offer treats and other things if recommended or approved.
“Jessiana took amazing care of our cat, Winston, while we were out of town for several days. Her updates and punctuality made us feel at ease. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing he was in such good hands. Thank you again!”
About: I grew up with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from yorkies to German shepards to Great Danes. I have kept my families dogs at my place while they are on vacation for at least a week. I have experience staying at the owners house to care for pets and also boarding pets in my own home. I’m an active person and a strength athlete, so if your pet is active and needs walks, we will both we getting in our steps together. Active by day, but definitely a couch potato by night! I’m a hybrid 9-5 employee and I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. Depending on my weekend availability, I can board pets in my home for one night or multiple night between Friday and Monday Agreeing to care for your pet means not only treating your pet with love and respect, but also understanding your needs and boundaries with your furry loved one. I will always ensure I understand instructions clearly to deliver the best service possible!
“We are very thankful to have found Shea to care for our pups while we are away! Having a high energy rescue pup we had been limited in our ability to do much traveling. Shea came for a meet and greet and after spending a short time with us we were all calm and comfortable. Shea has helped us several times and each time we have come back to a tidy home and happy, well-adjusted doggies! Thank you Shea.”
“I was lucky to find this wonderful family right before heading out on vacation, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the very start, communication was clear, prompt, and professional. They were reliable and stuck to the agreed schedule, which I truly appreciated. My dog a 5 month old Standard Poodle who’s a giant ball of mischief connected with them right away. It’s clear they have tons of experience and, most importantly, a genuine love for animals. I had originally booked someone else who canceled last minute with a silly excuse… but honestly, I’m glad it happened because it led me to the right people. They deserve all the stars. Highly recommend!”

I have taken care of my friends dogs several times and consider myself their auntie!! I love all animals and would to meet and help all the animals I can I am working full time but am looking to help out majority of the time on weekends along with Monday and Fridays. I am completely available on Saturdays, open morning afternoon and evening Sundays, Mondays and Fridays after 4pm. I currently have 3 cats in my own with endless amount of beds and toys scattered. They have their own condos and beds. I would make sure to ensure every animal is safe and secure. Check all the windows and doors and do a head count before leaving.

About: Animals enjoy my dog and I's company. Come unsure, leave longing to return. A visit will sure turn into a playdate and lots of misses and kisses. Your pets will feel right at home because the pets here aren't pets; their family. Whether they become extended cousins, or like brother and sister, your pet will feel like home away from home with us! Your pet has plenty of space to run around and if they're up for it will do so on their walks. Each of us have our own personality and here theirs can shine, grow, and learn to be in and create harmony with the world around them.
“She was by far the best care taker we have used on rover. She took our drop in at the last minute and stayed the entire visit, was extremely attentive to the dogs, was clear with her communication and understanding our needs and did exactly as we asked. She even went above and beyond getting the dogs back in as they were being a little apprehensive about going back inside. Would HIGHLY recommend and will definitely be using again.”

About: I am an elementary physical education teacher who plays a lot of sports and loves to hang out with friends and family. I love playing and taking care of dogs. When I was younger I first started to dog sit for a few friends when they go out of town for the week/weekend, but now I enjoy giving all of my free time an attention to dogs. I love to run with dogs and play with them in the yard or at parks and see the smile on their face when they are playing with their toys! I am flexible with cancellations and any specific requests you have. Reach out if you have any questions! I would love to give your dog a mini vacation!!!! I am a very active person who likes to keep busy. I work during the week and are free in the early morning and afternoon.

I currently don't own any cats but I can't wait to in the future! I currently am working as a full time bank teller Monday-Saturday at the Polish National Credit Union!

I'm very flexible with what needs to be taken care of for your pet! I can take them on walks or for car rides. I can play fetch for as long as they want outside. Obviously take them out for potty and feed them give them treats. I can cuddle with them or brush them. I have taken care of a blind dog before so I can give them eyedrops or medications as well!

About: I’ve taken care of many animals, big and small, throughout my life. I began walking dogs and helping family, friends and coworkers with doggie “drop ins” since I was 15 years old. At this point in time, I’m very flexible. Just shoot me a message and we can figure out a schedule that works for all of us! My flexibility is at your discretion!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in East Longmeadow is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
