“Jamie took good care of our boy while we visited the nearby distilleries. She sent photos at each visit and let us know he was having a good day while we were out.”
“Fantastic, had to book last minute and he saved us from cancelling our trip. Also cleaned up my dogs mess when she puked instead of leaving it like most do. Very much appreciated.”
“Hannah was a joy. She's very much an animal lover! I was quite comforted while away that she was checking on my baby and had no problems with what I needed for her to do. I would be a positive reference for her.”
“Sabine was absolutely amazing! She had previously assisted with two out of the three and was fabulous, they adore her! This time I had to leave the third one behind and he typically doesn’t love new people 😂 however Sabine definitely has a way with animals because he did amazing with her! He was a bit standoffish but warmed up quicker than I had anticipated, and when it came to leave I really had no worries! Not only is she awesome with my animals but she is an amazing person as well! I would recommend Sabine a million times!”
“We absolutely LOVED Cassie!! Our kitties just loved her & you could tell she just loved them too! You could tell she loves her job & animals. She is very personable & easy to talk to. She also is very trustworthy. We will use her again & again. You can’t go wrong with getting her to take care of your babies. ♥️”
“Julie and Elijah and family are the best and dealing with Rover is very easy and a great value. I’m spoiled by the care Ava gets when they care for her and I know she loves them also. I highly recommend Julie for all your pet or house sitting needs. Thanks for everything. Tom n Lisa & Ava 🙏❤️”

About: I have owned dogs throughout my entire life, and I have about 5 years of experience pet-sitting during college. Currently, I am a special education teacher who has some extra time and love to give to local pets during the summer. I have three dogs and a hedgehog, who are all very spoiled! During the summer, I am flexible when it comes to scheduling check-ins, walks, and overnight pet-sitting. I can do any day of the week, and I will cater to your pet's typical routine to keep their experience as stress-free as possible! I ensure all pets are given the best care, supervision, and love! I stick to their normal routine, while being respectful of your home. I will follow any directions given to me about your pet's care or entering your home.
“Maddie was a wonderful dog sitter for us! She was able to accept our booking last-minute when our usual sitter wasn't available for a trip. Our dog immediately liked her and I could tell he didn't miss us when we were gone! She was very thoughtful with our 2 cats too even though we only booked her for the dog, and very respectful of our home as well. I have nothing but great things to say about my experience with Madeline- definitely worth booking for your pet!”

This also means I can give all my love and attention your fur babies I do have a job but I will most definitely have an enough time to take care of and play, cuddle with your fur babies. I will keep my eyes on your fur babies at all times to ensure they aren’t getting into any trouble and are safe. I will follow all instructions regarding your fur baby
About: I’ve fostered animals of all sizes and phases of life throughout the years from my local shelter as well as friends and family. Your pet is sure to be in the best of hands and thoroughly cared for 🥰 My schedule is very flexible. I have two children in school with shared custody so whatever your pet needs are, I can most likely accommodate - including weekends :o) Building trust and security with your pet is essential for quality care, which is my focus. I want to ensure that your pet has the most comfort and low-stress environment in your absence. Maintaining routines and schedules, patient introductions when needed, and lots of love and attention when wanted. Your pet is considered my own while in my supervision and will be treated with the utmost care ♥️
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, so I love to help take care of them and love on them! I’ve also looked after plenty of animals for family and friends when they’re out of town, with one family friend having me come back to dog sit for them for the last three years! Right now, I’m home from college for the summer, and don’t have a job, so my schedule is pretty free unless I have an appointment or other things going on on a certain day! I don’t offer boarding for pets in my own home unfortunately, but for my clients, I will make sure all their needs are met and more, playing with them and making sure they’re doing great before I leave for the day.
“Dawn is wonderful with my boys. She made every effort to befriend my very shy Finley. They are buds now and it took no time. Dawn is very knowledgeable with large dogs. She is also very dependable and communicates well when she is unavailable. WE LOVE HER!!”
“Tabatha did an amazing job with our 4 wild child dogs. They all loved her, everything looked fantastic when we got home and she did a great job of keeping us updated on them while we were out of town. We will absolutely use her again the next time we're out of town.”
About: I’m an animal lover, vegan, and environmentalist with a passion for compassion! I can hardly remember a time when I have NOT had a pet. I have dog and cat sat for a house with 7 cats and dogs multiple times, so I’ve become accustomed to the temperament of pets. Nothing brings me joy like having a furry friend to accompany me on a walk around town. I am an attentive pedestrian and I know the rules of the road as a driver as well as on the sidewalk. I value nature and recognise the need to help dogs and cats by cleaning up after them in public. Overall, I’m a responsible pet-owner, and I understand the busy schedules of human-animals, and how important it is to ensure that our non-human friends get the attention and outdoor time that they deserve and love! I’m currently available for walks most mornings and pet setting any day of the week. I can accommodate early morning walks and any feeding schedules. I understand the need for pets to have frequent trips outside, and some time cuddling on the couch as well. I’m able to handle dogs of various sizes and temperments. Treats are a must if you approve and provide treats you like to give pups. I prioritize keeping dogs on leash when out of the house to make sure they stick by me.
About: I’ve owned dogs for 20 years or more, but not really counting anymore :) . Potty, and obedience training. Also owned a bird, reptile and fish. I bring a good energy so animals and I jive really well. I currently work part time with flexible hours and so I will be able to have the time during the week or weekend for your animals needs. My dogs are indoor outdoor dogs with fenced in yard. We do have kennels, but we do not use them but if I need to use them for your puppy, I would not mind doing that as well. My dogs do well with other dogs and if your dog has anxiety, then I can always keep them separate.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 486 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Boston. 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Boston. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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 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.
