“Emily did such a great job with Ziggy and Smokey! She was consistent, attentive, and super communicative. I felt like my babies were loved and well cared for while I was away.”
“My cat loves Mina so much! She takes such good care of him and provides a lot of his favorite activity: play time :) You can count on Mina to show up and take great care of your cats. I have total peace of mind when I book Mina!”
“Kyle is a fantastic sitter! He's super communicative up front which helps make sure expectations are set. He gives great updates and pics after each visit that reassure us our kitties are happy and well taken care of.”
“Jenin took great care of Peanut while I was away for a week! She was very communicative and sent lots of photos to curb my sadness about being away. I came home to a clean space and a happy cat. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Sarah was fantastic. We needed someone who could stop by and was willing/able to give an insulin shot to our diabetic pup. Sarah went above and beyond taking our pup for a walk and making sure there were no adverse reactions from the insulin. From the pictures you can tell they had a great time together! We felt very comfortable using Sarah and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Jenna is an excellent sitter! I feel confident knowing Sam is in good hands with her. She’s communicative, friendly, and really tries to get him to be active (even when he only wants pets 🤣). Highly recommend!”
“Serena was super helpful and responsive. She took great pictures and kept us updated all weekend so we had nothing to worry about. Definitely recommend booking with Serena!”
“Emily is amazing and truly loved pups. I truly felt so safe having her there and in our home! I’m definitely excited to work with her in the future and I’m super grateful for her.”
About: Hello and thank you for visiting my page! I am a lover of all animals, and I have had both cats and dogs my whole life. I’ve had my cat, Burt Macklin (if you’re a fan of Parks and Rec) for over five years and he is my favorite creature! I have no problem taking care of cats of all sizes and am comfortable administering oral medication. I currently can’t own a dog in my apartment, so I love walking and taking care of dogs to get my fix. I can take care of dogs of all sizes and ages, and I’ll be sure to ask about their walking behaviors and any habits/training they’re working on. I am able to do overnight stays when needed and aim to give your house lion and/or pooch the best care while their human(s) are away. I am a very positive and optimistic person, so I will always bring an upbeat attitude to all my dog walks. I am an open book and can answer any questions as needed. Hope to meet you and your fur child! I’m currently working part-time and have lots of flexibility during the week and on weekends. I also have a car and am able to travel with your pet if needed. I take it very seriously when someone trusts me to take care of their pet, whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or house sitting. I am always considerate of other people’s spaces and treat both your home and your beloved support creatures like my own!
“Alissa was wonderful! I wasn’t worried about Buster at all while I was away because of her detailed reports and photos from each visit. Will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: Ive been been an avid animal lover my whole life, and spending time with animals brings me great joy. Over the years, I’ve taken care of cats and dogs of different sizes and ages. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets. I am very detail oriented, and will follow all instructions you give me on how to take care of your pet. As a both, a pet owner and Rover user, I understand the great responsibility I am given, and the anxiety that comes for you and your pet, and I want to make sure I am able to help by being your pet's companion, as well as communicating and giving you all needed updates! I recently graduated law school, and took the bar exam in July 2026. I currently have fully open availability, and happy to work around your schedule, including any last minute bookings. I service only at client's home. Given that I have a cat home, I want to make sure your fur baby is comfortable in their own home and space, rather than introducing them to a new space with a new cat.
“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!”
“Was incredibly attuned to my lil anxious Winston, provided consistent helpful feedback & was just overall a perfect pet sitter for my baby boy! I was nervous using rover for the first time, and Rachel exceeded my expectations & went above and beyond. Will be working with her again!”
“My cat and I were lucky to find Katherine. She has been very kind and friendly toward my cat. Also, Katherine always followed my instructions carefully and were responsive to my requests.”
“Angela was incredibly sweet with my two cats! She was excellent with communication and made sure things were running as smoothly as if I never left. She even introduced them to CatTV and sent the most adorable photos! Fantastic care all around, my little fur babies adored her. Highly recommend!”

Sue was the best with my cat! This was my first time booking a pet sitter, but she took care of him exactly as I had specified, stayed over time a few visits, and was extremely gentle with my cat! It honestly felt like my cat liked him better than he likes me 😂 She was also able to add extra check ins mid-way through my booking and I really appreciated the flexibility. She shared so many photos and videos every time during her check ins which I really appreciated. My cat was very happy and healthy when we came back. I would highly recommend her!!
Madeline was wonderful with our senior cat, Milo, while we were away for the weekend. Milo is shy and a little bit deaf, so he can be hesitant to come out when unfamiliar people are around, but he warmed up to Madeline quickly. She went above and beyond simply feeding him and cleaning his box -- she stayed to pet, brush, and play with him too. Madeline was friendly, communicative, and very responsive throughout our time away. She documented every visit with pictures and detailed notes, which gave us great peace of mind. We would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her!
Kayala was truly wonderful; this was the first time I had spent more than a day or two from my (scaredy) cat, and having Kayala come and take care of her gave me huge peace of mind. Kayala is highly responsive, compassionate, and was a true joy to work with. Could not recommend her more highly.
We’ve had Amber take care of Cricket for awhile now and she’s always done a great job. Recently we left him in her care for a week while he happened to be recovering from a minor illness, and she kept us updated and took great care of him. She’s learned his quirks and we can tell by the pictures that he’s very comfortable with her!
Nicole was our first experience with Rover. We were going on a fairly long vacation and couldn’t take our cat with us, so needless to say, we were a little nervous about leaving her behind. We booked Nicole for nine visits, and she was fantastic. She always showed up when she said she would, did everything we had asked, and sent us detailed updates after every visit. She played with our cat, groomed her when needed, replenished her water bowls, and cleaned the litter box. Nicole is an extremely reliable and dependable pet sitter—no weirdness, no drama, just someone you can trust to show up and take good care of your pet. We know pet sitting is only a temporary, part-time job for Nicole as she finishes college and prepares to move away from Boston, but the maturity, trustworthiness, reliability, and sense of responsibility she showed us will serve her well wherever her career takes her next. We are extremely grateful to Nicole for taking such good care of our cat and giving us peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Boston on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 4,883 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.

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.
