“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 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.”
“Jennifer was great! She was very flexible when our flight was delayed, canceled, and rebooked. She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and kept Kano fed and happy. She was also very respectful of the house and even cleaned up after Kano when he got sick and had a hairball. We’re very happy we found Jennifer and we’ll be using her again!”
“I’m very pleased to have found Caitlyn to help with my 3 kitties. One requires an inhaler, which is not easy to administer since he hates it, but she was very patient with him making sure he got the treatment he needs. My cats can be shy, but I can tell from the pictures that they enjoyed Caitlyn’s company. I’m grateful to have someone I can trust to help with my sweet boys!”
“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.”

About: -walking pets -bathing pets -scooping litter -giving meds -playing with pets -senior pet care -special needs pet care -small pets care -trim nails -food accommodations I'm a college student and my life basically revolves around pets. I like to be organized with my schedule so that all the pets I care for get everything the need without fail, I can br flexible though if something needs to be adjusted. I have quite a few pets of my own and I love all pets just like I love my own! I'm willing to have small pets stay over at my house, I have experience with guinea pigs, gerbils, and hermit crabs. Pets such as dogs and cats I will come over to your house. I can walk them, stick to a feeding schedule, play with them, groom them, and give them all the attention they need!
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.
“Allison was fantastic! She gave us peace of mind for the 6 days we were away. The picture updates were great and her detailed visits made us feel better about being away. Would definitely use her again!”
About: Hello from your pets new bestie! Here to offer Drop in visits, play time, walks, and cuddles. Your pup will look forward to my visits ! I am a lifelong dog lover and 27 year certified Canine 4 Companions puppy trainer with over 40 successfully raised puppy "graduates" who are now currently helping their human companions to cope with blindness, seizures, and emotional trauma all over the US. This along with 11 years as a pet sitter has given me valuable experience working with dogs of all sizes, shapes, and personalities. As a dog mama myself ( of Coops the 14 year old Beagle and a 7 pound poodle mix named Toby). I know how hard it is to leave your babies for a long vacation or even just a long with day. This is why as a sitter I make it my mission to give owners peace of mind of knowing their baby is safe, happy, and healthy through 24/7 communication availability, photo updates (we even Facetime!) as requested, and consistent reliability and professionalism. It's much easier to leave for a trip or day at work knowing your dog is home with someone who treats them with the same love, respect, and care as her own fur babies. If we get the chance to work together, I promise to treat your home and pup with the same respect and cuddles I give my own and am happy to send as many photos and updates as you need :) I currently work part-time, and am able to make my own schedule. This allows me to prioritize your pets needs and routine while you are away. I plan to follow all instructions while visiting a client's home, and if preferred, I am happy to provide updates in photos as often as needed so that you feel comfortable.
About: I am currently caring for my own two senior dogs and have experience showing compassion in every stage of life and administering medication. I have experience with dogs of all sizes. I have also cared for cats, birds, rodents, and reptiles. I work as a freelance musician and have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets and make time to fulfill their needs. It brings me joy to spend time with dogs whenever I can. I keep my dogs on a leash and give kind attention within boundaries. In your home, safety is always a priority making sure to be aware of doors that need to be closed and locked.
“Carla did an excellent job with our fur babies when we had an emergency trip. She made sure everything was taken care of and that they got lists of attention. Would recommend booking her 😊”

I highly recommend Rebecca. She has visited my cat Sneakers several times. This past week she visited 2x per day, once in the morning and then again in the evening for 4 days to feed, scoop the litter box and give Sneakers love and pets. She took the bags of litter out to the big trash when she left. Each day I received a message or picture of Sneakers letting me know he was okay and if he ate or peed or pooped. Rebecca followed all the feeding schedules. Thanks again Becca for taking such good care of Sneakers.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Longwood is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,189 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Longwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
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. 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.
