“Dan did a fantastic job with our pets! He took care of our 3 dogs and 2 cats for 4 days, always showed up on time, gave them their medication without any issues, and sent us updates every single day. It really put our minds at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Our pets were happy and well cared for, and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
About: Hi I am an experienced Dog and Cat caretaker! I have had cats and dogs for many years and I am passionate about making sure they get the proper love and care they deserve :) Available for feedings, care, walking typically 6-8 am, and 5-9 pm. Depends on week though. Definitely willing to work out the best times for you and your pet! I love to provide the service, ( walk, feeding etc) plus a little treat, affection and playtime. Having good bonds with the animal is so important to giving them the best experience!
“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.”
“Jackalyn is an excellent pet sitter. She took care of our cat while we spent time at the beach. Not only did she make sure our cat was fed, but she also played with her, opened and closed the window blinds for her, and even brushed her. On top of that, she fed our fish and managed the aquarium light schedule in the morning and evening. Jackalyn demonstrated a genuine love for animals and consistently went above and beyond in caring for our pets. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“So happy to have found Zach! Zach truly cares about animals and it’s easy see in how he approaches the first visit. My pets were very well cared for. I received plenty photos and updates which eased my stress of being away from them. Note: I have an elderly dog who needs a little extra love and leaves a little extra mess. He very graciously cleaned up after my dogs accidents and didn’t make me feel bad about it.”
“Ava was amazing, a life saver. We booked last minute and she was super accommodating, flexible, and kind with our animals. We have a dog and 3 cats. Will book again!”
“Michelle is great! Punctual and follows directions well. She sends great pictures and videos and I can tell she enjoys the time she spends with my girls! Coming home to happy pets and a clean house is great!”
“Peter took absolutely amazing care of my dog, Oddie. This was the very first time we ever left Oddie with someone who wasn’t family, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Peter made us feel at ease and treated Oddie with so much love and care. He kept us updated and sent us photos, which truly meant the world to us and gave us so much peace of mind. We are beyond grateful for his care and will absolutely be using his services again. 100% highly recommended!”
“Christopher did a wonderful job taking care of our older cat for the week while we were away. He went above and beyond in all aspects and our cat was so lucky to be taken care of by Christopher!”
“I had a great experience and will definitely rebook in the future! I hate leaving my babies when I travel but it gave me peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of. She even brought my package in that was delivered while I was away which is very much appreciated. Thank you so much!☺️☺️”
“Always a pleasure having Jennifer watch Kano! It’s so nice having someone who communicates regularly and we can trust to keep him safe. Thank you, Jennifer!”
“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.”
“Another great weekend away while Debbie watched my fur babies. She spends so much time with them and I can tell they love her from all the photos. Thank you for always being awesome!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and I’m so Happy with your services so far. Caitlyn has been amazing and we appreciate her taking care of our girl Ziggy. Thanks again this experience was the best.”
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.
About: I have grown up with dogs of all shapes and sizes my entire life! I enjoy being around animals and love to take care of them. I own two female German shorthaired pointers who have TONS of energy! And that’s what I love most about them. I know how important it is to meet all animals exactly where they’re at temperament wise. I truly enjoy being around animals…more than humans sometimes! I look forward to getting to walk or play with your fur babies! I work a hybrid job, so I am remote 2-3 times a week where I am fully home all day with my pups. On the days I go into the office, my partner comes home during lunch to let our dogs out. On weekends, I am home full time as well. I have a big fenced in backyard perfect for activities! My own pups love to run around and play fetch back there. Dogs are allowed in furniture and to sleep in the bed in my house.
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.
“So this was my first time trying this after being very reluctant. And i tell you what i couldn't of got a better experience. Never met jessica and was very last min but by the time we got done texting she had a code to my door and couldn't of felt safer. Then the day came when she was coming over and absolutely blew my expectations out of the water. was the best thing i have ever done for my son scout on his lonely weekends that im gone at work all day.”

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.
Zach did an amazing job taking care of our two Golden Retrievers and cat while our regular Rover sitter was on vacation. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he genuinely loves animals, and that really showed in the way he cared for our dogs and cat. He was incredibly energetic, giving them plenty of exercise, attention, and playtime, while also making sure they stayed on their normal routine. Zach was extremely thorough with every aspect of their care, and his communication and updates gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It's not easy trusting someone new with your pets, but he exceeded our expectations in every way. We came home to two happy, well cared for pets, and we wouldn't hesitate to book him again. We highly recommend Zach to anyone looking for someone who is caring, dependable, and truly passionate about animals!
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
This is my second time booking with Addie and couldn’t recommend her more. I am confident that she will be reliable, respectful, and loving with my cat. I appreciate that she stays for the whole time making sure the animal feels the love and attention, and she is excellent with her updates and quick responses!
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!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,143 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Longwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
