“Josh was amazing with my cat.He was punctual with visits, and was very accommodating with changes for my booking. I am so glad I could find someone to take care of Anna so last minute, she appreciated the play time for sure!! :) I highly recommend Joshua”
“Ashley did a fantastic job taking care of our 2 cats for a week. She was able to spoon feed and care for my special needs cat, and befriended him despite his shyness. Ashley was extremely communicative and made us feel comfortable leaving our fur babies with her. We really enjoyed her in-depth visit summaries and photos.”
“My mind was put at ease on my trip knowing Casey was looking after my cat, Tedy. Part of the highlight during my trip was seeing all of the pictures/videos and review Casey would provide each day. Casey was incredibly accommodating and stuck to a consistent schedule, which was perfect for my cat. You can tell Casey is a true animal person and she enjoys taking care of all animals. I definitely plan to use Casey’s services in the future.”
“Stephanie has watched our cat Huey twice and is already booked for the next time. She is super professional, on time, communicative, and thoughtful. She is an excellent cat sitter!”
“Lily was great! She dropped in daily to check on my cat while I was out of town for eight days, and I returned to find a happy, healthy, and well-fed kitty. Lily was consistent with her visit times and sent a bunch of pictures each day, which meant I didn't have to stress over whether and when she was going to stop by. I will absolutely be using Lily's services again the next time I go on vacation, and you should book her too!”
“Anna took excellent care of my cat Margaret - Margaret is usually very shy around new people but I was able to see through the photos shared each day that she warmed up to her quickly and was in great hands!”
“Nicolas provides regular updates and constantly communicates. Frimousse, my cat was well taken cared off while I was away for the week-end. Will definitely book him again in the futurw.”
“Tommy is genuinely a “dog person” and was great with my pup, taking him for a much needed midday walk. He is also very responsive and picked up this job last minute. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for pet care.”
“Emma was fantastic! She did a great job watching our cat. Emma is so friendly and was amazing with our girl. She provides extremely detailed summaries, was attentive, and played with our cat so much during her visits. She adored Emma! She can’t wait to play with Emma again. We trust Emma anytime with her. Highly recommend! Thank you, Emma!”
“Angela took excellent care of my cats! She was so professional and responsive when an issue came up with access to my building. So thankful! Would definitely book again. Thanks Angela 💕”
“Amber was professional and communicative. She asked all the right questions before the first visit and was respectful in honoring my shy kitty’s boundaries. I would recommend!”
About: I was lucky enough to grow up in a household with multiple pets so I’m aware of the responsibility that comes with caring for an animal. I also have experience walking shelter dogs and sitting for family/friends so I’m very comfortable with any breed of dog I work fully remote in the city as a software engineer! Until I can have pets of my own I’d love to make your life easier and give your pet some extra love during your busy days 🙌🏼 A client’s comfort and peace of mind are crucial. I will treat their home with the same respect and consideration I would want for my own
“Laura took such great care of Ari—he was clearly a happy boy after her visit! It’s such a relief knowing he’s in such good hands. She’s thoughtful, reliable, and genuinely kind with animals. Highly recommend!”
“Mina was awesome! She came by beforehand to do a meet and greet with my 2 cats, and was so great with coordinating. She sent lots of pics and updates during the stay, and was so patient with my 1 cat who is a fussy eater. I definitely recommend Mina!!”
“Ren was terrific! Amazingly, she managed to coax our hidey cat out every day for petting and brushing, which he loves -- a feat no previous cat sitter has managed. In fact, no previous cat sitter has ever even SEEN him! She wrote detailed (and amusing) reports on each visit, and sent plenty of pictures. She also had to clean up cat barf a few times, even though we had told her we didn't expect her to do that. She was very responsive and really reduced our anxiety over leaving the cats for a 10-day trip. We would have Ren cat sit for us again in a heartbeat!”

Boston cat parents share their Rover experiences
Madeline was very communicative and was accommodating of our last minute request which was much appreciated! At our initial meeting she asked lots of responsible questions so we knew our cat would be in good hands. We received lots of photo and video updates. Would recommend to others!
Olivia was phenomenal. Our cats loved her, and she was so attentive to them when she visited, not only taking care of the necessary tasks (food/water/litter), but also playing with them and petting them. Our cats are shy for most visitors but they warmed up to Olivia even on the first visit. She was also helpful with ancillary requests while we were away. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a new pet sitter.
Mei Ling was a wonderful sitter for my two cats. She spent a lot of time interacting with them, playing, brushing, and giving treats. They began to trust her quickly, which is pretty rare, especially for my shy little girl. She took lots of informative photos and communicated really well. I am really impressed and look forward to continuing to book with her.
Robbie did a truly amazing job watching my cats! I was new to Rover and get very nervous leaving my cats, but Robbie made me feel so at ease with her consistent communication and picture updates. She has the best energy and is so kind, my cats loved her! Would definitely rebook and recommend her to anyone!
