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.
“Julie was amazingly flexible, as our schedule was unknown, and was there when we needed her. More importantly, she was good with Ricky, took him out for walks as well as for his sanitary needs, and kept us regularly informed, with pictures. If we are in the area again we will seek her to assist us, and Ricky, again.”

“Julissa was amazing. She house/petsit for Thanksgiving week and our dogs Ramsey and Waldo adored her. She went above and beyond of what we asked of her, was in constant communication, and completely trustworthy. We will look forward to hiring Julissa again. Thank you so much for your hard and amazing work!”


About: Hi there! I've been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember. I'm 28 years old and have spent my entire life caring for pets, from from raising playful puppies and kittens to supporting them through their senior years. That lifelong experience has taught me that every pet has their own personality, routine, and unique needs. What sets me apart is the care and attention I give to both pets and their owners. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires a great deal of trust (from personal experience), so I make communication a priority. You can expect regular updates, photos, and honest check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing and can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their familiar routine, I'm happy to adapt my care to what makes them feel safest and happiest. I'm patient with young pets who are still learning, gentle with senior pets who may need extra time and attention, and committed to treating every animal with the same love and respect I would give my own. I'm also preparing to move to London to begin graduate school in the fall as well, which means I have a flexible schedule over the next few months. I'm excited to use this time caring for pets, meeting wonderful families, and providing dependable, loving care whenever you need an extra helping hand. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and love and for you to feel completely confident that they're in good hands. Pet care is something I intentionally make time for in my schedule. Since I'm preparing to move to London for graduate school, I have a flexible routine over the next few months that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the day. Whether your pet needs an early morning walk, a midday check-in, or evening companionship, I'm happy to work with your schedule. I believe consistency is important, so I'll do my best to maintain your pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable, happy, and at ease while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I know that every pet is happiest when they can stick to their normal schedule, so I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any household routines. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I'll make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and outdoor time, and always prioritize their safety. I also understand that every animal has different comfort levels, so I'll take the time to earn their trust and let them interact at their own pace. Communication is an important part of my care. I'll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving plenty of love and attention while you're away.
“Hailey was great with Banner! He was a little wary at first, but she was patient with him and eventually won him over. She took good care of him and left my house clean and tidy. Thanks Hailey!”

“Anais took great care of our crew so we could have a relaxing day out! Truly appreciate her punctuality and how she sent updates to put my nervous-pet-mom mind at ease! So glad to have connected through Rover!”

“Katherine was absolutely fantastic! She watched our pups for a long weekend and was incredibly attentive, detail-oriented, and communicative the entire time. She kept us updated with plenty of pictures, and it was so nice being able to enjoy our time away without worrying about a thing. She also went above and beyond in ways we never expected. She brought in packages, did laundry, washed the dogs’ bowls, and somehow left our house even better than she found it. Our pups were clearly well cared for and loved, and we came home to happy dogs and a spotless house. We’d absolutely book Katherine again and couldn’t recommend her more.”


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.
“Reichel was great! Offered to come over before the actual booked weekend so she could meet my dog and get a better idea of her care. She followed up with me throughout the weekend and sent pics of my dog. I felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I will reach out to Reichel in the future!”


About: I love to be outdoors and go on hikes. I have a huge yard for your dogs to play around. I have had experience with this for 3 years now and I love and enjoy doing it. I have a seasonal job so I am home a lot during the summer! I am a chef and I love trying new things. I make awesome homemade doggy treats. I always have respect for people’s houses and or dog. If your dog can be around other people’s dogs a lot of my friends dog sit so we could do dog get togethers. Walks are my favorite and being outdoors as much as I possibly can. I hope you will consider me with your dog! Thank you xo

“Jonathan did an exceptional job dog-sitting and house-sitting for us for a full week. He was incredibly conscientious and highly communicative, sending regular updates and adorable pictures. Our dog absolutely adored him, and Jonathan took such great care of our home that we barely noticed he was there—yet we returned to a spotless house. We highly recommend him without hesitation.”


About: My dad taught me at a young age how to care for, and respect all animals. I have turned this into a life long love for all animals, both domestic and wild. I am a vet assistant, and currently studying to be a certified vet tech. For the last two years I have worked at the local animal shelter, and for the last year, at a dog daycare as well. I have volunteered at Dakin for the best part of the last 15 years. This has included transportation of animals, dog walking, animal socialization, and the kitten ICU. I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time for your furry family members. I am available during the week, on weekends, and holidays. Whether your dog likes the dog park, or playing in the backyard, we can play using their favorite toys. If they are more of a couch potato, I can accommodate them as well. If you have kitties that need company, we can play in the house, or go out for a stroller ride. I have a fenced in backyard for the dogs to play in. In the summer, a pool and water sprinkler will be available. I am a vet assistant, so I have first aid training for both dogs and cats. My house is air conditioned, perfect for relaxing on a summer day.
“Sarah was amazing with our fur babies. This was the first time we have left our 5 year old pup with someone other than family and she is a nervous Nelly. She warmed up to Sarah almost instantly and Sarah’s communication and pictures were wonderful throughout the weekend. I was able to enjoy myself and not worry about the pets. Sarah has really calm and gentle energy, so I knew at the meet and greet she was a great match!”

“Friendly, respectful, and caring. Ensured to a safe and fun environment for our two frenchies. Extremely grateful for a positive experience for everyone. Happy to recommend to anyone!”

About: I will prioritize your pets needs while they are in my care. Safe, loved and cared for is what they will experience under my supervision. I am a stay at home mom with freedom and flexibility in my schedule. I am able to fit in your pets needs as I design my day I have a full of life home. We have a large backyard and much room for play. We would love the opportunity to tire your animal out or snuggle up and chill.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Longmeadow
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Shekeyla was warm, professional, thoughtful, detail-oriented and brought such calm, positive energy from the moment we met her. Our 17-year-old dog has kidney disease and requires medication, so leaving her isn’t something we take lightly – but we felt completely comfortable and confident in her care. Shekeyla kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which meant a lot. One of our favorites was a picture of the two of them snuggled up together – something our dog doesn’t even do with us anymore! At this stage in her life, we’re mostly just food providers and chauffeurs to the Jersey Mike’s parking lot for her favorite pastime: scouting for snacks. It was clear our dog was not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and relaxed when we returned. We highly recommend Shekeyla and will absolutely be using her again!
Itzel was incredible!! Asked all the right questions at the meet & greet, was responsive when I texted her in between then and the actual booking, & then was extremely communicative throughout the whole stay. She was at my place & sent pictures, videos and updates throughout the week, as well as kept my apartment looking great (even washed the towels and blankets!). I know my dog Ziggy absolutely loved her and he was so well taken care of, especially on Christmas. She gave him lots of attention and love and he was so happy when I returned but I know he misses her! Signs of a great sitter :) Will recommend her to anyone and will book with her again!

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 Longmeadow 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 Longmeadow 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 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!
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.
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 .
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 .
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.
