“Bonnie took excellent care of my cat. She was happy & playful when I got home from my trip and I attribute that to Bonnie's skill and natural ease with animals. Sarsaparilla is a good girl, but can get over stimulated and feisty at times. Bonnie was thorough in her notes on her daily visits and I felt at ease knowing Sarsaparilla was being well cared for.”
“Karen was amazing! Super reliable and communicative, and my cat was clearly well cared for. Her updates were detailed, and she made sure my cat had plenty of enrichment and attention. I really appreciated the photos and thoughtful notes — I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Kristen was fantastic. We needed last minute pet care for a weekend and she responded quickly and was able to set up a meet & greet within a couple of days. She took excellent care of our pets. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
About: I've owned and cared for animals since high school. In addition to dogs and cats, I've owned horses since I was 16. I have been\am a foster parent for the Animal Rescue League of Boston since 2020. I'm a former puppy foster for service dogs and participated with early puppy training. I have carried those skills over to training other foster puppies and my personal dog. I have a medical background (EMT) and my daughter is a Vet Tech so I am very comfortable working with animals with medical needs and will follow any required medical plan. In addition to dogs and cats, I'd love to meet\care for your backyard farm animals; horses, pot-bellied pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, etc. I have experience with some of these animals through ownership and fostering opportunities. I'm open to meeting and learning about new friends. We currently have 4 dogs, 4 cats, and 2 horses in our home. All our animals are our babies and I'll care for yours as if they were my own. I'm currently unemployed so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I'm available for petsitting any day of the week and can work around any personal appointments. Boarding in my home is restricted to cats or other small animals. Puppies (under 1 year) may be accomodated, no adult dogs. For cats; we have a dedicated "cat room" to keep your pet separated from our pets. The room has a screen door so they don't feel locked away and can be part of our household while remaining safe. I will follow your pet care plan while in your home. For Puppies; all dogs are fed separately to avoid food aggression situations. All puppies will be crated for meals and sleeping overnight. If your puppy is not crate trained, I will work with them to ensure they are comfortable and not afraid. I can support your potty training schedule to maintain consistency.
“Sam's my favorite dog walker hands down - my boys always seems to really enjoy when they stop by to play and walk them. I'm always super sad when they're not available when I need them 😂”
“Fantastic, as always! Repeat customer here for drop-in visits. Riven and team show up when asked and are super accommodating to times. They engage with both dogs, giving them lots of attention even in such a short a amount of time. They are communicative and respectful of the space. Will absolutely continue to use them again! Thanks, guys!”
“Rebecca is our go-to pet sitter for our two cats when we are out of town! She always takes such good care of them and sends the cutest pictures to keep us posted on how they’re doing :)”
“I scheduled Kelly at the last minute and she was more than willing to take care of my cat, Domino, for 3 days. She sent pictures at each daily visit to reassure me that my furbaby was well taken care of. Much appreciated Kelly!!”
“Katrina was the best with my dog and cat. She kept me updated every visit and they seem comfortable with her. She fed them and kept the space clean for them! I would definitely book her again.”
“Sheylah was exceptionally communicative and very professional and warm. She sent me daily updates on all of the medications my cats take which really or my mind at ease and kept everything very clean. Will absolutely be working with her again in the future. Thank you Sheylah!!”
“Ardin did a great job with our big 100 lb. boy, Charlie, for 11 days, 3x a day drop in visits. The photos she included, with the activities they did (walks and soccer) showed a happy dog. Her texts really reassured us about how well it was going and we plan on rebooking with Ardin for a long family wedding this fall!”
“Zach took great care of our animals while we were away for a week. He was extremely flexible when I accidentally booked the wrong dates initially and needed to change the booking last minute. He communicates well and took great care of our cats, chickens, and fish!”
“Grayce was awesome with my cats!! She replied quickly to messages and left detailed notes during visits letting me know how my cats were doing and how much attention they were basking in while we were away! I would definitely book with Grayce again :)”
“Blaise did an awesome job with my dogs while I was out of town. They warmed up to him quickly, and he made sure they were taken care of which kept my mind at ease. Would definitely hire again :)”
“Sarah was amazing with our dog Murphy, who is a 2 yo bullmastiff/boxer. She was always on time and spent a lot of time with him. We would highly recommend Sarah with your pets. She gave us daily updates and sent us pics. Murphy still misses her. We will definitely ask Sarah to watch Murphy again! Murphy is a high energy dog but very lovable, Sarah will be amazing with all pets We can’t thank her enough !”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ayer
Karen cared for our two cats for three days, coming in twice a day. She took the time to read through the instructions and learn our cats' different personalities. Although not usually open to change, the cats became comfortable in her care. We appreciate the care she gave to our girls, came home to happy cats, and would trust Karen to care for them again.

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 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 cat, 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.

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.
