“I met Becca last week before this visit and had a great first visit going over the details of care for my Geriatric Cat. Becca communicated with me every step of the way and took pictures throughout her visit. I know Sneakers enjoyed the attention. When I got home, he was sleeping in his box and everything looked great! Thank you so much for loving on Sneakers.”
“Tatiana replaced our smoke alarm battery when it died while we were away because it kept beeping and she was concerned for Molly. This is not a sitter who goes through the motions (although she is thorough with photos and check-ins) but rather she cares about your home and your pet.”
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.
“Very professional and caring towards our scaredy cat. Spent time around her to help her warm up and sent good pictures during each visit. Very accommodating for specific feeding/care requests.”
“Thrilled with Sarah. She never missed a day and spent extra time with our cat. We arrived home to a calm and not psychotic pet. Thanks Sarah, you are our go to cat sitter.”
“Ben is a rockstar!! He was attentive, flexible & very professional. He was also quick to respond & went well above our expectations. We will be using him again when we go on our travels, our kitties were in the safest hands.”
About: I’m experienced with caring for pets of all ages and needs, including senior dogs and pets requiring extra attention. I’m patient, dependable, and always make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for like they’re my own. Pet sitting fits well into my schedule because I work from home and have the flexibility to create my own hours. This allows me to be available and give pets the time, attention, and care they need. I’m also looking to make a little extra money while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I care for pets by keeping their normal routines, providing plenty of attention, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s home, I focus on following instructions, keeping their space clean, and giving each pet the care and love they’re used to.
“Christina has been wonderful with our puppy Brodie. We are using her for drop ins. She has been prompt and has been very loving with our boy. I would not hesitate to use her services again or refer friends.”
About: I've had pets of my own for as long as I can remember and I've been pet-sitting for friends and family since 2015! I love animals and I've taken multiple training and safety classes so I can take care of not just my own fur babies, but others' too! I run my own business out of my home, so I have plenty of time and flexible hours to play with and care for any and all extra fur babies! This house welcomes the extra exercise and serotonin that comes with helping care for your pets! I have a roomy home for your fur baby to feel at home in and a friendly pup to keep yours company. I have extra crates and pet gates for added precaution and comfort as well! I have taken training and pet safety classes as well so i am versed in calming animals, emergency pet cpr, and diffusing aggression if necessary!
“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 4 cats and 1 beautiful White Shepherd. I love animals and that’s why I am here to help you with yours while you are at work, traveling, or maybe just need a vacation to take care of yourself. I myself have had to leave my baby dog in boarding sometimes for travel and honestly he never was the same when I picked him up. That’s why I decided to help other taking care of their furry friends while they can’t and care for them with the same love their owners give them. Can be walking your doggy, play with him, feed him, cleaning his space ,change your cat little box, medication, and quality time with them. I am here for it all. I have plenty of time on my hands so I will be in time and take the time needed to make sure your pet is clean and happy. My cats have their own space in the house where they can climb, play and relax. Having one big dog, even he is very friendly and playful, made me understand that they needed their own space and that’s why I created it for them. My dog walks three times a day and I dedicate 1 hour a day only for him for a long walk or play time outside so that he is happy and well exercised.
About: I have worked as a veterinarian technician for 8 years and have experience with many different types of animals. My passion has always been to work with animals and give them the best care! I have experience with animals that have special dietary needs and medical needs. With my education and experience, I am confident that I can provide the best care for your animals. I am currently in an advanced veterinary technician school to receive my certifications. Pet care is an important part of my everyday life. While working full-time at a veterinary clinic, I still have the availability to do up to three drop-in visits per day to feed, walk, and spend quality time with pets. On my days off, I’m home with my own cat and bunny, which gives me extra flexibility to provide longer visits, playtime, and cuddles. Caring for animals is a consistent and enjoyable part of my life, and I make sure it fits seamlessly into my schedule so every pet gets the attention they deserve. We live in an apartment with a screened-in porch. At home, we have one super chill cat and a bunny who has his own room. I usually prefer to care for pets at the client’s home so they can stay comfortable in their own space—and to avoid stressing my own cat, who’s very attached to me and might get jealous with another pet around.
About: Hello! My name is Ada (Aw-duh, like auditorium) & I am a retired per foster mom. I absolutely love doggos and learning their personalities, as well as helping them transition into their furever homes. I’ve been lucky enough to have fostered anywhere from puppies all the way to “aggressive” dogs who just need a little more time to get to know new humans. I have two dogs of my own, an 11 year old Jack Russel Corgi mix and a 13 year old lab mix. They’re at the stage where sleeping is a hobby, so our walks are mostly sniffing now-a-days. They're very calm & always ready to welcome a new friend into their home :) I’m excited to get to meet fellow dog parents, your babies, and I hope I get the chance to work with you! - Ada As an active girl with two senior dogs, I’m always itching for an excuse to go on a good walk. I work from home Wed-Sat, so besides a scheduled workout class or errand day I’m typically home all day. Currently not accepting long-term stays. I follow all directions left by fellow paw parents, and don’t leave the homes for long periods of time. I’m a strong believer in routine for dogs so I try to stick to the same schedule when staying with your babies.
“Brianna was amazing with our 1 year old lab! Sent us lots of photos and had great communication. We have already had Brianna return and will be booking more in the future! It’s great to have someone close to our home we can trust with our fur babies!”
“Gaby is excellent! Gaby kept us informed about our dog in every visit. She was always on time. Dog was not eating first two days and she even offered to prepare chicken for him. I will definitely use her services again and recommend her 100%”
About: I provide loving, reliable pet care. I handle every situation with calm handling, and personalized routines, ensuring pets feel safe, understood, and truly cared for. I work daily but can bring pets with me. I offer multiple walks, give meds, flexible updates, and full weekend availability for reliable, consistent care. In my home or yours, I follow each pet’s routine—feeding, walks, meds, playtime, and updates. I keep their space clean, safe, calm, and comforting at all times. I can create pets as well I have one already on hand

We are so grateful for the care and attention Caitlyn gives Niko. It’s clear how much patience, kindness, and love she has for animals. Communication is always great, and we appreciate the updates and reliability. Thank you for being dependable — we highly recommend Caitlyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker
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!
Gina was so helpful and kind and great for our pup while she was getting used to us not working at home. It was a big change but Gina helped us and Bella get through it! Super respectful, provided check-in info everyday and little notes about how Bella was doing. Couldn’t have been happier with her service!
I can't say enough good things about our recent experience with Erin From start to finish, they were **punctual**, **super communicative**, and went above and beyond to make sure our pups were happy, healthy, and loved while I was away. 🐶💕 It’s such a relief to know your pets are in great hands—and thanks to Erin I was able to truly relax and enjoy my quick time away in peace. 🧘♀️✨ Highly recommend and will **absolutely be booking again*🙌 thanks so much and my heart smiles to see Zoe at peace!!

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.

- 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.
