About: Hello, I've trained several dogs from puppies in basic skills and know the best way to connect with most dogs is through play. I have experience with some medical care for temporary conditions and dogs with anxious dispositions. I'm a big guy so I'm not intimidated by larger dogs and will get down on the floor so smaller dogs aren't nervous. I currently work fully remote from home and have a generally flexible schedule to allow breaks for walks or visits. I'm generally up by 6:30 am each day, but have no issues getting up earlier depending on your pet's schedule. From my house I typically walk the neighborhoods near Greenacre or head over to Bliss park. I can also make late stops up to ~ 11 pm as I know sometimes that overnight without a break can be too much for your pet. I have a large double yard with the majority being fenced/blocked but there are several open areas near the driveway and side of the house. There is a two-story house with wood floors. Depending on your pet's preferences and schedule I would keep them with me in my room. I have a 40 lb mixed rescue dog who is very sweet and timid. Depending on preference we would keep them completely separate but she will likely check them out and then hide under a bed most of the time anyway ;) She has never shown any aggression or had any issues with other dogs.
“Deborah provided excellent consistent service to check in on my 2 cats while I was on vacation for a weeks. Deborah provided great communication and detail about each visit. I will look forward to booking her in the future. Thanks”
“Andrea did such a wonderful job taking care of our boy while we were away! Thank you so much and we know Murphy loved going on those walks with you!”
“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 !”
“Shekeyla was amazing. She communicated with us for every drop-in visit, along with pictures and how each of our pets responded to her. She gave us peace of mind that our girls were well taken of!”
“We highly recommend Mary Elizabeth! Our sweet, elder dog was comfortable and happy in her care. Marybeth took the time to get to know our dog prior to their first visit. She wrote things down and was communicative and responsive. Marybeth is trustworthy and although we don’t want to share her, we know she will do the same for your sweet pet!”
“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!”
“Great Dog Sitter. I had to hire her to do drop-ins, after an emergency came, and when I was called to go out of town for a few days. The dog loved her. I’d 100% recommend her for anyone looking for a dog watching services. I’ll choose her again next time I need to go out of town.”

“Kayla was so good with my cats! I could tell they really liked her... She had to feed them 3 times a day and there is a little more to it than just putting down 2 plates of food. Kayla sent me pictures of them at every feeding...this made me feel so good! I will definitely use Kayla again!”
“Audrey was a great sitter for my two cats! She is very responsive and took amazing care of my two babies! I’m always very nervous to leave them alone, but Audrey made sure I had nothing to worry about! Highly recommend!”
About: I have volunteered at a couple of local animal shelters over the duration of 2 years for multiple hours a day! While I only have a certain amount of professional experience, I also own 2 domestic long haired cats who I’ve raised for the last 4 years. I specialize in cat care on a private setting and dog care on a professional setting. I have many available days within my weekly calendar to fit pet sitting and pet walking into my schedule. I have open availability until further notice! Please feel free to reach out and we can make something work. I currently own two beautiful domestic long haired cats. Their daily routine consists of a strong high moisture diets, supplements that cater to their needs, rotation of toys when under supervision, 100% cat safe toys when unsupervised, cat scratchers, fur and dental care, routine vet visits, litter box scoops multiple times a day, and more.
About: I have had medium/large dogs for most of my life. I have taken care of a 35lb Australian Cattle dog as well as 2 pit bulls between 55-70lbs. I've also dog-sat a dog under 10lbs and walked dogs who were 140lbs. I've also worked in home with families who had cats ranging in size and demeanor. I work full time which is why I can only do sitting on weekends. I am looking to do more hobbies and this seems like something fun for me to add. I care for my dog Zelda who's partially blind so I have an awareness for disabled pups. That is also the reason I cannot board dogs in my home. I would likely spend a large portion of my day with the dog I'm taking care of, giving them some kind of walk during the day and making sure to lock up each time I leave the home. I would make sure they are fed on time and receive the same kind of loving care I give my dogs at home.
About: I have loved and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, and I’m especially drawn to shy, timid, or nervous pets who may need extra patience. I have a calm, non-intimidating approach and enjoy earning an animal’s trust through kindness, affection, and consistency. I’m comfortable walking, bathing, brushing and grooming pets, and animals in my care are treated like family and welcome throughout my home. I’m also very comfortable with senior pets and understand that they may need a slower pace, extra attention, and lots of reassurance. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals is something I truly enjoy. I love spending time with them, whether we’re walking, playing, relaxing together, or just keeping each other company. I’m happy to give each pet the time and attention they need and will follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I can he as active as you want me to be, including hiking, going to parks, anywhere you like! I can also stay at home if your dog has low energy or special needs. Pets are welcome throughout my home and are treated like part of the family. I especially enjoy caring for shy, timid, or nervous pets who may need extra patience. I have a calm, non-intimidating approach and give them the time and space they need to feel safe and learn to trust me. I’m comfortable walking dogs and helping with bathing and basic grooming, and I always follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, exercise, medications, routines, and house rules. I do have a fenced yard and would never leave them alone.
About: I’m caring patient and love to have fun from giving paw to fetch with all ages I have flexible scheduling and references as well hope to hear from you soon 🐾🙂 I love pet sitting and always have and I’m very flexible for scheduling if you have any questions please feel free to contact me hope to hear from you soon I can offer as a pet sitter love care compassion and kindness treating your pets as I do my own I hope to hear from you soon

Alexandra was amazing with our dogs! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of them while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands at home. We came back to happy pups and everything just as we left it. We’ll absolutely be using Alexandra again and would highly recommend her! 🐾💕

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.
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 Longmeadow 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!
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 .
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
