About: I've had dogs (and participated in their care) since I was a kid. We've always had at least two dogs at a time since then! I'm a cat person, but all pets I meet I treat like my very own babies. At home we have 2 dogs, one high strong pit, and one fast moving lab mix. We have three domestic cats as well. Personal experience is well over 15 years, professional experience about 3-4 years collective. I previously worked for Sit 'N Stay Pet Services, so you can be assured I know what goes into a professional pet care job. I am also a Volunteer for Ten Lives Club, I have been with them for 1 year and some change so far. I also have an extensive history of volunteering at other shelters (Erie SPCA, South TX Animal Shelter, Etc). I am currently searching for a full-time job and seeking supplemental income. Rover was the perfect choice for this as an animal lover with past animal care experience. I am currently in-between jobs and awaiting starting my next one, so until then my schedule is open for whenever you need me. Safety is paramount to me. Please make sure your boundaries for your home and pets are clearly communicated. I take care making sure boundaries are respected, home environments are clean from pet messes, and of course; all your pets are safe AND happy. I have the skills to manage many tasks you may need me to complete. Cleaning messes or litter, stimulating through play and activities, ensuring there are no issues that could endanger your pets, so on and so forth. If you are hesitant on assigning a specific task, just ask me! Chances are, I won't mind going that extra step to help you feel secure and confident with me in your home and caring for your cats.
About: I have always loved animals and I have been around all different breeds for most of my life. I have experience with dog sitting and walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments and am prepared to continue to do so with your pet! I have a flexible schedule which allows me to drop in and take your dog for walks at almost any time of day. I live a very active lifestyle and am prepared to walk your dog as long and far as he/she needs. I am also slightly experienced in dog training and will work with your dog on a variety of skills while they are staying with me. I am very reliable and trustworthy, while your dog is with me you will have nothing to worry about so you can enjoy your time away from home. I will also provide picture and video updates to owners to ease their minds while I am caring for their pets. I work remote three days a week and have a flexible schedule. I am also available on weekends so I can work with you to meet your needs! I’ve taken care of pets for most of my life. I am comfortable following instructions and will make sure your pet gets the care they need!
About: I have had dogs and cats, and taken care of other small animals for my family for years. I understand the bond of families with their animals and respect that! I am retired from full time work, but do participate in volunteer activity. A part time role of caring for your pet as needed will best fit my schedule. Or providing in home care for your pet while you travel will work as well. I am happy to come and take care of your pets in your home, where they are comfortable in their own environment. I respect the pet owners preferences on how best to care for their beloved pet.
About: I absolutely love dogs. My wife's family has always had dogs. They currently have a German Shepard and a chocolate lab. I absolutely adore them. I have a large fenced in yard, I am also very flexible to come and sit anytime you need. I love taking dogs for a walk and I love playing with them at the park especially fetch! I am very reliable and safe and come from a dog family. I will love and care for your dog like I it is my own. My children are now in middle school and high school and they love dogs as well. I can provide loving and affection for your dog and care for it like it was my own. I hope to hear from you soon Taking care of a pet just becomes part of my everyday flow. You feed them, take them out or clean up after them, and make time to play or cuddle a bit. Most days involve quick things like feeding and walks, while once a week you might do a deeper clean or grooming. It’s not too hard once you get into a rhythm—it just becomes routine. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, whether they’re in my home or a client’s. That includes feeding them on schedule, giving them fresh water, and making time for walks, play, or snuggles—whatever they need to feel happy and relaxed. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible to keep things familiar. If I’m in a client’s home, I also make sure everything stays clean and tidy, and I always send updates so they know their pet is doing great. I also have a fenced in yard.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 443 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 .
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 .

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.
