“Dan was a fantastic sitter! Went above and beyond what I had even asked. Additionally, he was very thorough and timely with his communications. I'll certainly book with him again in the future when the need arises.”
“Zack sent me many pictures of my cats while I was away. The pictures were a reassuring reminder that they were being cared for. Zack was also flexible with small requests like checking for packages which was also reassuring. He was generally very thorough in checking with me beforehand to see that everything I would want done for them was made note of.”
“She took great care of Nudy while I was away. I really appreciated the detailed updates, photos, and notes after each visit. Nudy looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for, and I could tell she gave him lots of attention. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Peter is wonderful to work with. He has sat our pittie a few times now and is loved by our pup! Peter was on time and this time I forgot to leave instructions out so he confirmed our pups care prior to anything. We will definitely use his services again thank you Peter!”

Everything went smoothly, and we look forward to working with her again!”

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.
“Maria was amazing! She went above and beyond while watching my pets. Not only did she take great care of my two dogs, Blueberry and Bentley…. who were both completely comfortable with her….but she also showed so much care for my cat, Sage. She even made a special trip to the store to get canned food when she noticed Sage wasn’t feeling well. Her attention to detail, communication, and genuine love for animals gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I truly appreciate everything she did and will definitely be booking her again. Highly recommend!”
“Shirley is so great with my old boy, Hank!! She’s always on time and makes sure to keep me up to date on everything so I don’t have to worry a bit while I’m gone. She really cares for my boy, goes above and beyond and I never have to worry about his well being in her care!”
“Jennifer showed up on time and gave my wife and I plenty of updates during her stay with our puppy! She gives great advice and is very trustworthy! I highly recommend Jennifer!”
“Emma was absolutely wonderful with my pets! She provided drop-in visits twice a day on the days when my boyfriend or neighbor wasn’t able to be there, and she handled all of their complicated little routines so easily. I was honestly a little nervous about finding someone who could keep up with everything, but Emma was fantastic. Her daily reports were incredibly detailed, and I really appreciated knowing how each visit went and how my pets were doing throughout my trip. She made me feel completely comfortable knowing they were being checked on, cared for, and getting everything they needed while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Emma and would happily book her again! ❤️”
“Sarah has been a blessing. My shorti is pre diabetic and I feel less stressed knowing that someone as caring and intentive as Sarah is around. Pictures galore and updates ease my mind when I'm away on travel. Sarah has been wonderful and will keep using her as my needs for work travel increases.”
“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.”
“Jackalyn did a great job taking care of my pets. She asked questions about important details concerning my pets and kept me updated on anything and everything. I would recommend her to anyone and I will happily use her services again.”
“Addie is INCREDIBLE! She is prompt with her responses and was quick to respond to my inquiry and schedule a meet and greet. It is clear she cares about animals and wants them to feel safe with her. She has gone out of her way to make the most of her time with my shy baby every time she’s there, and had given me detailed reports and pictures. I couldn’t recommend her more! Thank you, Addie!”

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.
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!
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
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Longwood on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 September 2026, there are 5,208 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:
- 91% 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.
