“Amanda was so great with our two cats! She was great (and a trooper!) with cleaning their litter boxes, refreshing their water bowls, and was so kind to also bring in our mail. She was always quick to respond to any requests or questions I had and was so good with our little ones. Having her come out to meet the cats beforehand was also very nice. I highly recommend Amanda if you need her to check in on your cat(s) while you're away.”
“Extremely caring and considerate to the fur babies, she treats them like they’re her own. I felt very confident and relieved that my kitty had Carli to rely on while I was away, I could relax knowing that she’d be well taken care of. Thank you Carli!!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs with different ages and energy levels. I help care for my family’s 5-year-old dog and have raised my own dog, Kai, since he was a puppy. Kai is now 1.5 years old and very energetic, so I am comfortable with active play, walks, routines, and helping high-energy dogs settle. He is neutered and very loving to all dogs. I am equally comfortable providing calm, attentive care for more relaxed adult dogs! As a full-time law student, I am typically in class for about four hours a day. Outside of class, I have plenty of time to provide your furry friend with walks, playtime, love, and attentive care. My schedule allows me to be dependable and give pets the love and attention they deserve while you are away! I live in a spacious, clean apartment where pets can safely free roam and feel comfortable. My apartment community also has a dog park and plenty of grassy areas where dogs can walk, sniff, explore, and enjoy mental enrichment. I make sure my home stays tidy and pet-friendly so every dog has a safe, relaxing environment during their stay.
“Shirley is the best!! She always goes above and beyond for my senior dog making sure he is okay when I have to go out of town. She is so great with Hank - attentive, caring, loving. Everything you hope for when trusting someone to care for your pet when you have to leave town!!”
“Luisa is timely and we’ve used her twice to check in on our kitties. One of our kitties can be a bit territorial so we are grateful that she is so fearless and willing to check in on him. She sends us great photos and updates on how the kitties are doing while we are gone”
About: I’ve had plenty of animals growing up including dogs, cats, birds and fish and always was the care taker of them. Animals have a instant bond with me and can sense the genuine love for them. I’m a medically retired veteran at 25 y/o so I am mostly home with my 2 dogs and have plenty of time to walk other dogs too. I live in luxury apartments that are dog friendly so there is a long walking trail around the lake along with a dog park inside the community.
“Brent was great! He did a drop-in visit for my two dachshunds and took plenty of pictures, which made me feel very comfortable leaving them at home. He was reliable, communicative, and caring with my pups. I’ll definitely book him again!”
“Christina was great dropping in to visit our dog and cat for a week while we were away. Even though our dog got a bit worked up one day and got into some chewing trouble, she handled it smoothly and even cleaned up. Will definitely trust her again to watch our pets!”
About: I’ve taken care of family pets since I was a young teenager and have since taken care of my own fur babies for the past 8 years. I also have veterinary experience as I currently am a Veterinary Assistant with 3 years of experience. You can rest assured that your pets are safe with me and would be treated as my own. Allow me to alleviate a possible stressor in your travels by being a trusted pet sitter for your fur family. I understand from first hand experience with my own that each fur baby can be different and require additional needs, I am willing and capable of catering the service I provide to be as best as it can for your particular fur baby. Comfortable and experienced with Dogs, Cats, and some smaller exotics (Guinea Pigs, Gerbils, etc). I currently work full-time at a vet clinic, however, I am fully available Wednesdays and Sundays with 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month being available as well. Even with work, I am able to make early morning, afternoon, and evening trips during my work days as well, if needed, as I start at 8am, take lunch 12-1pm and then am off by 6pm. For boarding stays, your fur-baby will be in their own dedicated room that will contain their food, water, bedding, and any additional necessities you’d like them to have with them. Mondays and Saturdays are the only days they would be by themselves in their room, however, they would still be taken out in the morning (before 7:30am), during my lunch break (12-1pm), and after work (6pm). The rest of the week, my partner (who also has been in the veterinary field) works from home in the same room your fur-baby would stay in and will be assisting with monitoring them while I’m away for work. I have experience with strict and more relaxed feeding instructions and specifications. I also have experience giving medications as well as bathing. From fenced backyards to leashed potty-breaks, I have you covered. While I have my own fur-babies, you can rest assure that your own baby will be kept in their dedicated room while staying for boarding with us (unless specifically given approval to mingle with my fur-babies during potty-time/play-time)
“Jamie D. is AMAZING! She came over before our scheduled times to meet Leo and Max. Max is very picky about meeting new people and he was in love with her after 2 visits. She is great about keeping you informed and even shares photos from her visit. She'll be the only person I use as long as she's Rover-ing. 🤩”
About: Are you looking for someone to give your fur babies some additional love? And maybe some mom & dad approved treats! Then look no further, heres Kat! I have always had dogs and cats all of my adult life. Previously I worked with The Lucky Puppy Rescue in Panama City, FL for 9 years before relocating to Orlando. We had dogs of every size, shape, color, old, & young. Duties included: feeding, walks, meds, brushing, bedding & general cleaning. I currently have my 2 fur babies. Nala who is our lovely orange cat, she is 8 & Remy who is our Frenchton, he is 6. I am currently working part time and my availability is flexible. Times can be tailored to work best for both of us. I am confident we can find a happy medium with your babies as the main focus. I will care for your fur babies as I care for my own. Positive reinforcement with plenty of love mixed in. I understand what all pet parents want for their babies, because, I want the same for mine!
“Evelyn was so good with our pups! She was attentive and sweet while she came 3 times a day while we were gone on vacation. I think my dogs were sad when we got back because they loved all the attention and care they got from Evelyn. We will definitely use her again!! Awesome job Evelyn 😊”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, beginning with helping care for dogs as a child. I’ve owned and cared for many breeds from small to large, puppy to senior! I am a teacher with older children so my evenings and weekends are often free. I can’t fit any more pets at home so I’d love to share the love by helping others nearby! I am accustomed to caring for friends’/family members’ pets with extensive care requirements including fearful/shy pets and pets with dietary requirements and medications. I have an eye for the details and will follow my clients’ instructions carefully.
About: I’ve always loved animals and owned them since I was little. I’ve owned dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and a rabbit. Animals are one of my very favorite things in life. They make me super happy !!!! I’m currently working part time babysitting and would like to work with animals as well. Kids and animals are my favorite ! Love them so much I’ll make sure I keep your pet completely safe. Whatever you say goes ! They’re safety is always the priority. I’ll always make sure to close the doors/ gates to make sure they stay where they need to be. I’m currently working part time right now so I have plenty of time to watch over your fur babies. I’m super excited to meet them and see their personalities. I’m looking to provide care in your home. I will always treat your home like if it were my own or better.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Longwood
Peter took such great care of our dog while we were out of town! This was our first time using Rover, and he made the whole experience so easy. He was very trustworthy and reliable, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands. We also got lots of great picture that brought us so much joy while being away. We’ll definitely be using Peter again in the future!
Jackalyn was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my girls and truly treated them like they were her own. She kept me updated the entire time, was super communicative, accommodating, and very detailed about how they were doing. She also sent me the cutest pictures, which I loved and really helped me feel at ease while I was at work. My girls looked so happy and comfortable with her, and I could tell they absolutely loved spending time with her. It’s always nerve-racking leaving your pets with someone, but Jackalyn made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future. She’s truly the best!
Brooklynn was amazing! She did drop-ins for us for several days and was very communicative, respectful, and punctual- Most importantly our dogs loved her! The rover cards were thoughtfully filled out and we knew our pups were going to be well taken care of. This was our first time using rover and she made the experience great!
Becca was AMAZING to work with! She was so helpful and responsive in getting all the details of our booking confirmed and I so appreciated her detailed updates and pictures of my sweet pooches. I highly recommend Becca and I’ll absolutely be booking her again for any future drop-in or boarding needs.
Ashland was excellent with our dogs Chloe and Mochi. She played with them and they truly enjoyed her company, and care! Ashland is punctual , and well versed in doggie care. Photos were sent every visit which eased our minds, Will be using Ashland in the future for sure!
Brent was amazing with my dogs! He visited twice to let them out and feed them, and he sent plenty of pictures during each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. I was very happy knowing both dogs were safe, comfortable, and well cared for at home. I would definitely book him again!
Shelby was amazing! She is very sweet even when my dog decided to tear up his bedding, she cleaned it and was attentive to him. She was punctual and on time to every single drop in, and made me feel way better about being away from home. I would recommend her for any of your pet needs!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Longwood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Longwood 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
To find sitters in Longwood with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Longwood. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
