“Abby is fabulous. She was very communicative through both the Rover cards (I always got multiple photos and a story of her visit!) and texting through the app. My orange cat can be overly affectionate and climbs all over people, and Abby just embraced all his crazy antics. I’m glad she was there to pamper my cat and I will definitely book again! Thank you Abby! 😊🐈”

About: My family lives in downtown Winchester where there are plenty of places to walk. Since I am in a new season of life (semi retired) I wanted to so something I love like walk more and take care of your pet(s). I have been a dog owner for 16 years. I have trained a puppy and helped my first dog all the way through elderly care. Three cats have touched my heart, two cats from kittens through elderly stages. I offer a quiet and comforting hand to all animals. Your companion(s) are God's gift to your family and I would be honored to take care of them. I am currently working part-time for the city transportation division but have a flexible schedule so I can take care of your pet(s). I am an early riser so I don't mind those pets who need morning care. That does mean I go to bed early so I would stop at 8pm. I am a respectful semi retired lady who loves animals. My pets roam around freely at my home. They love their morning routines as I do. If I take care of your pet(s) I will keep whatever routine you have already established with love, safety, and kindness.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I have cared for large dogs, such as Labs and Pit Bulls, as well as smaller breeds like Pomeranians, Pugs, and mixed breeds. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets with special dietary needs or medications. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog's individual needs, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and am currently studying online, which allows me to work from almost anywhere. I love going on walks, especially after a meal, and having a furry companion makes them even better! My flexible lifestyle allows me to make time for your pet’s needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I love being able to incorporate pet care into my day while making sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for. I provide pet care in the comfort of your own home, whether through drop-in visits, dog walking, or other care your pet may need. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My family has always taught me to leave a place better than I found it, and I carry that value with me in everything I do. I will treat your home and belongings with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own. I also understand that I’m not just caring for a pet; I’m caring for a beloved member of your family. I want you to feel confident knowing your pet is in caring, attentive hands and is being looked after in the familiar environment you’ve trusted me with. My goal is to maintain your pet’s routine, respect your home, and make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away.

About: Hi! My name is Samantha, and I have over 6 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even reptiles of all ages and personalities. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet like they are my own. I currently have two dogs and a cat, so I understand the importance of patience, structure, and lots of love when caring for pets. My home is pet-friendly and safe for boarding, and I also offer in-home pet sitting so your pets can stay comfortable in their own environment. Since I have open availability, I am able to provide flexible scheduling, last-minute bookings, and consistent care when you need it most. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, or extended care, I’m always available and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or scaly!) family members! My schedule allows me the flexibility to fully be with your pets if I am boarding or need to drop in. When your pets are with me I like to make sure we’re having fun! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I provide a clean, calm, and secure environment while following each pet’s normal feeding, walking, and care routine. Pets are always supervised, introduced safely to my animals if needed, and kept comfortable and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident and at ease while they are away.

I stay at home so my schedule completely revolves around my babies and yours !! Anytime I am needed I can be there for your pets and they are my one and only commitment during my time with them!

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and grew up with an Akita German Shepherd mix who taught me patience, confidence, and how to read dog personalities. I used to help out at a small local rescue on weekends, mostly walking dogs and giving them baths, and it made caring for animals feel second nature. I’m gentle, reliable, and always treat pets like they’re my own. Your pet will be in loving hands with me. I’m available on weekdays during most of the day starting from today Oct 17th to Oct 23rd. I have a week off of work and am looking forward to my bookings! When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar as possible. I start by following the owner’s instructions closely such as feeding schedules, litter or potty routines, favorite toys, and any specific quirks or habits. I make sure the home stays safe and tidy, double checking doors, gates, and food portions so nothing is overlooked. I spend quality time with each pet based on what they enjoy, such as playtime, slow cuddles, or quiet company. I also give updates with photos so owners always know how their pets are doing. My goal is to make their home feel just as comfortable and secure as if their person were there.

About: My mom has owned a local pet sitting business for 27 years so I have lived and breathed pet sitting for my entire life. I am extremely passionate about animals and the care they receive. I have done over 800 pet sitting visits for my mom’s business and each one is done with the same love and care I give to my own pets. I am pet CPR and first aid certified. I work from home so I will have all the time in the world to give your pets all the love, care, and attention they deserve! I appreciate lots of details about your pets schedule, what they do and don’t like, how you like to spend time with them in order to make sure they are as happy and comfortable as possible while they are away from you!

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine love for animals and over a decade of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. While I don’t have formal training, I’m highly dependable, quick to adapt to each pet’s unique needs and personality, and treat every animal as if they were my own. My focus is always on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule to care for pets as a recent college graduate seeking employment. You tell me when you need me and I’ll be there! Taking care of someone’s pet in their home is actually taking care of a pet in their home. It is my priority to know your pets schedule, likes, and dislikes to ensure it’s comfortability while your gone. (Some extra treats too!)

About: Growing up on a dairy farm is how I fell in love with animals of all kinds! I have adopted, trained, groomed and cared for a wide variety of animals. I have lots of experience with large and small breed dogs. A variety of different breeds of cats including some exotics such as Hairless, Sphinx and Bengals. Young and older as well as some special needs. Leopard geckos, and birds. Our pets are a part of our family and they deserve safety, love, and care. Connection and trust are everything. It’s important to me to learn as much as I can about your pet, to be an extension of the way you love and care for them in order to provide the best sense of well-being and personalized care. I have a well organized but flexible schedule. Please feel free to message me anytime. I will always get back to you if not the same day, definitely by the next day. It’s important to me to connect and learn the needs, likes and dislikes of your pet. Animals have their own unique personalities, wants and needs. Getting to know the details not only helps me take personal care of you pet but it allows your pet to feel more comfortable with me caring for them. Using familiar words and sounds, walking them, and playing in a way that’s comfortable and familiar.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Longwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,521 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Longwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

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
  • 95% 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 , 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.
