“Charlotte was wonderful with our cat Elliott and was incredibly attentive. She was always super communicative about her visits and took many wonderful pictures that put us at ease on our vacation!”

“Hannah is wonderful and my go- to cat sitter! She is very responsible, is an excellent communicator and my cat loves her ( my cat doesn’t like most people, to be honest- haha). I highly recommend her!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs through both my family and my workplace. My parents have a Maltese, and I regularly enjoy taking him on walks, playing with him, and giving him treats. At my workplace, we have a Teddy Bear dog named Lola. I sometimes take her outside for potty breaks and walks, give her lots of pets and attention, and reward her with a dental chew after our walks. I also enjoy teaching simple commands such as “sit” and “shake,” and I’m attentive to dogs’ body language and cues so I can better understand when they want to play, need some space, or simply want some affection. I really enjoy spending time with dogs and would be happy to give your pet the same patience, care, and attention I give to the dogs in my life. I work a full-time 9–5 job with a consistent schedule, so I’m available for home visits in the mornings and evenings. On weekends, I can make multiple visits throughout the day. For the right pet, I’m also open to long-term boarding arrangements. I’m happy to help with scheduled meals, fresh water, dog walks, brushing, playtime, and plenty of company. If your pet needs extra care, I can also help with medication and, when needed, take them to the vet. My husband and I live in a clean and cozy 1-bedroom apartment. I like to make the apartment clean, so the space is always tidy and well maintained, making it a comfortable environment for pets to stay. There’s also a dog park right downstairs, so your pup can easily get some outdoor time and play. I’m also happy to do drop-in visits for cats and keep them company in the comfort of their own home.
“Ezra was our first experience using Rover to hire a sitter for our favorite feline and he was terrific. Great communication - sent photos regularly too, very reliable, and considerate. He left our home in good shape, which was nice to return to. Would not hesitate to recommend him or use him again if he is free. Big thanks Ezra!”
About: I grew up taking care of my family's multiple cats and dogs and now I have a kitten of my own! I love animals and my cat Sox is my best friend in the entire world. I am happy to go on long walks, play with their favorite toys inside or snuggle up on the couch. I value respecting animal's boundaries to establish trust and let them know they are seen, heard and loved. I know how hard it can be to leave a pet behind so I am big on sending plenty of photos and updates! I have a flexible work from home schedule and can be available throughout the day to ensure your little one is loved and cared for while you are gone When caring for pets, safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including any specific routines or preferences. I respect all animals wants, needs, and boundaries to create a safe and trusting relationship.
“I am continuously impressed with Sarah! She is so sweet and thoughtful and helpful. I have used Sarah a few times now when I’ve gone out of town to watch my two cats. They both love her and I can tell by the photos they are having fun and getting so much love! Sarah always makes sure to have playtime with their favorite toys and treats. I can’t thank Sarah enough!”
“Elizabeth took such good care of my Saturn while I was traveling! My cat instantly loved her! It gave me peace of mind to go on my trip and trust Elizabeth with my little girl. Would definitely book again!”
“Halle was fantastic with our cats. One of our cats needs oral meds twice a day and Halle was a champ at it. Both of the cats fell in love, flopping over for pets or sitting in her lap while she brushed them and gave treats. She was professional, kind, and so reliable. We were lucky to find her!”
“Kamilia is an excellent pet sitter and we are so happy to have found her. She was very professional and caring of cat. We would recommend her to anyone wanting a dependable overnight sitter.”
About: Pet sitting was my first job at 13 years old—and I’ve yet to find another job I’ve enjoyed quite as much! Over the years, I’ve cared for corgis, pit bulls, border collies, Rottweiler puppies, and plenty of other dogs, as well as cats. Most recently, I’ve walked my friend’s small pup, Hartsie, and provided overnight care for two cats. I’ve seen just about everything: dogs who decide to take an unexpected swim in the pool and dogs who absolutely refuse to cross the street unless you carry them. These experiences have taught me to stay calm, think on my feet, and adapt to each animal’s unique personality. I’m confident in my ability to roll with the punches, get to know your pet, and provide the kind of attentive, reliable care that gives owners peace of mind. I currently work from home so my schedule is very flexible. If you want someone to come walk your dog in the mornings or afternoon, I'm your girl! I will make sure to leave your home as I found it and leave your pet happier too. While I'm in your home, I'm willing to adhere to your medication schedules or even sit with your dog for an hour or two for some pets. Let me know how I can benefit you and your pet and I will do my best do meet your needs.
About: I come from a home where we always had at least 1 cat and 2 dogs (often more!). I have been taking on full-time pet care for both friends' and family pets since age 16, from overnight stays to just stopping by to take a walk or play and scoop the litter box. I have taken care of all sizes of pets, from tiny Pomeranians to Aussies and Great Pyreneeses, and I've yet to meet a fur baby I didn't love. I would love to bring this experience and care to your home, and help take care of your baby for you! I'm currently a freelancer who works from home, so I have flexibility to come take care of your babies whenever is most convenient for you! I have years of not only pet experience, but babysitting experience as well, in other people's homes. I am very happy to follow any instructions and boundaries you may have surrounding pet care in your home! I am an organized person and I have consistently gotten good feedback from clients about my attention to detail. I understand that allowing someone new into your home may be a stressful experience, and I want to make this a rewarding experience for both of us, and more importantly, your pets!

Lily did a great job watching my cat, Bogey! She writes very detailed notes, sends lots of pictures and follows instructions to a T! She even went the extra mile watering my plant that she saw looked wilted and took out the trash. I can rest easy on vacation when I know Bogey is in Lily’s care! Thank you so much!
This was my second time working with Dennis and he once again went above and beyond to make sure my senior kitty Sasha is taken care of. He is great with Sasha and put a lot of care into both ensuring that she was fed and received her medications, as well as made sure she received lots of pets and attention. Would definitely recommend!
Isabel was fantastic as always. She sent so many pictures and I know my cats had an absolute blast with her. She always provides very thorough updates and I feel a little better leaving them alone when she’s taking care of them. Would definitely work with her again!
Could not speak more highly of Jenin!! She is incredibly thoughtful, empathetic, trustworthy and knowledgeable. Her notes were fun to read but also provided the essential information to know that my cat was safe, healthy and happy. Lots of photos were appreciated! Would definitely recommend Jenin 10x over!
This is our third time booking with Sarah and we couldn’t be happier with her services! She takes excellent care of our two cats, even our skittish boy is in love with her. We look forward to her photos and stories of our kitties after each visit. Highly recommend Sarah to care for your pets!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Boston is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $44 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 .

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.
