“Jenin took fantastic care of our cat while we were out of town. She was communicative and made sure to send us a bunch of great photos for each check in. We will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Jessica is AMAZING! She took great care of my precious kitties and sent pictures so that I would not miss them as much. I am so grateful to be able to travel and not have to worry about my fur babies!”
“Thanks so much to Alyssa for taking such good care of Gandalf! He was very happy and well cared for I was happy to see how much he enjoyed his time. Would definitely love to have her care for him again!”
“Casey did a wonderful job with my kitty Sasha! Every day I received a detailed report of the visit which included photos and videos. I could tell from that my cat was well taken care of and was happy. It gave me the peace of mind I needed to enjoy my vacation. I will definitely be booking Casey (if she’s available) again in the future!”
“Jenna was absolutely wonderful!! We had our cats separate because of some new onset behavioral issues and were hesitant to leave them, and she handled everything better than we could have asked for, on top of that with a positive attitude at all times. She was communicative when she had questions and very thoughtful and intentional, and left hilarious daily updates and pics. By the end of the week I stopped worrying about the cats because I knew they were in great hands. Jenna is very respectful and responsible and I would trust her to handle anything. She left our spaces clean, followed any instructions well, and went above and beyond to clean up after our cats even outside of the norm (one threw up one day and she cleaned it without hesitation). It was clear our cats warmed up to her quickly. We can only hope she’s available the next time we go out of town!!”
“Charlotte was great! Our normal catsitter fell through just a few days before we left for a week, and Charlotte was able to help us out in a pinch. She was responsive, communicative, and took care of everything requested.”
“We're so happy to have connected with Emily not only because the cat likes her and does well spending time with her, but she's such a pleasure to work with--responsive, reliable and very conscientious, kitty-focused and attentive to detail. We found a great fit!”
“Ashley was amazing. She was incredibly communicative, flexible, and kind. She took such good care of my cats which made me feel fully comfortable leaving them. She was also able to effortlessly administer an inhaler to one of my cats each day. I highly recommend using her pet sitting services! Thank you, Ashley!”
“Karina was the best!! This was our first time away from our kitty and he seemed very calm and not nervous at all! She did the best job, and we are endlessly appreciative of her service :)”
“Gloria is a wonderful, kind, reliable and very trustworthy sitter who took amazing care of my two cats and my home! Will definitely be using her again! Thank you Gloria!!”
“Mina is the best! I rested easy knowing she was taking great care of my cat while I was on vacation. She is caring, knowledgeable, and thorough. And most importantly: my cat adored her. I appreciated all the detailed reports she left after each visit, and all the pictures and videos she would send during the visit.”
“Abigail was amazing! She sent lots of pics, played a lot with our cats, and gave them lots of love. She also did a great job with our Guinea Pig and with giving our skittish cat his oral medication :)”
“Loved that Amy sent photos throughout the weekend! She was super accommodating and responsive. When I came home, Sprout was in such a good mood! Thank you so much, Amy!!”

Amber was fantastic! I reached out with a last minute need for someone to check in on and feed our cat Oliver while we were away for a few days, and amber responded super quickly and was even able to come over the next day to meet Oliver and get the lay of the land. She took excellent care of Oliver, sending regular pictures and updates, and it was such a relief to know he had someone looking in on him while we were gone. Thank you Amber!
We cannot recommend Suzete highly enough! She was absolutely incredible with our cat, Clyde, and went above and beyond in every possible way. She cleaned his litter box and water fountain, brushed him, played with him, brought him toys, and consistently stayed longer than the time we had scheduled. She also sent us wonderful pictures and updates, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. The best testament to how wonderful she was with Clyde was how calm and content he was when we got home. It was honestly as if we had never left. It was so clear that he had been incredibly well cared for and had gotten a ton of attention and affection. Suzete is kind, thoughtful, reliable, and truly exceptional at what she does. We recommend her more than 100% and will absolutely be using her again and again. Clyde was lucky to have her!
Serena is an excellent cat sitter who was willing to accommodate a last minute booking. She is very detailed in her updates on each session and was even willing to scoop litter and take out trash before we returned. She just clearly loves hanging out with cats and our boy loved his time with her. Highly recommend!
Alexina was amazing! It was a pleasure working with her, from our pre-booking “meet and greet” to her final visit and kind note. She was incredibly thoughtful and communicative, making it easy to trust her with our three cats and our home. This was our first Rover experience, and I felt so reassured to find Alexina, someone we can really trust. Thanks so much, Alexina!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Boston on Rover is $28.74 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
