“Annalaura was very sweet with my cats. She played with our younger cat and have both treats as requested. She sent lots of photos and video and the cat’s areas were tidy when I returned home. The cats seemed less stressed than usual when I got home. Would definitely recommend her services!”
“Madison was great! She was very accommodating and took good care of my cats while I was away. I appreciated her quick communication and she sent a lot of pictures of her visits, so I was kept very up to date about my babies. Thanks Madison!!”
“Cheryl is fantastic! Prior to our trip, she stopped by to meet our cats and learn their schedule and preferences. We have 2 cats and one has a congenital heart condition (HCM) who takes medication twice a day. He can be a challenge to medicate but Cheryl was so patient and managed to get him to take his meds every single time. She also gave lots of attention, play time, and really went the extra mile to form a bond with our boys. I know she made them feel safe and well cared for as they were looking around for her after we got home 😂 She sent updates with eveey visit and really great photos (which we loved). Everything was so clean as well (our cats are messy!) Will definitely book her for our future trips. 10/10. Absolutely book with her if she is available!”
“Ava was so great with my cat! She was super communicative and I can tell she really cares about taking care of animals:) My cat had a great time and I'm super grateful for her flexibility & dedication. Thank you Ava!”
“Ashley was really nice about things. She got back with me promptly upon requesting a stay and also while she had my two cats. My babies are wild, so I definitely condone her for being able to handle them. I was coming back in town late, and I would’ve had to pick my cats up at like 2am. She allowed me to come in the afternoon the next morning; however I was charged for almost two days to be able to do this. That’s the only issue I had. I’ll for sure be booking again for my future vacations.”
“Jennifer was fantastic with our four cats! They were immediately drawn to her, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. She took great care of them, provided updates, and clearly made sure they were comfortable and well cared for. As an added bonus, she even watered our plants and kept everything looking great. We came home to happy cats and healthy plants. We would absolutely recommend Jennifer in the Nashville area and would gladly book her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Gabby — your pet’s new favorite human. I’ve been a dedicated pet sitter for 11+ years. Most of my experience is with dogs and cats of all ages, from tiny 2mo puppies to sweet seniors who need a gentler pace. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with the world’s best white Westy‑Maltese mix named Benji, who loved yard time, pup cups, and long naps. In high school, I also raised four chickens — Peep, Squirt, Hector, and Spooky — who had big personalities and made every day fun. I don’t currently have pets, but I hope to one day have a small farm full of furry and feathered friends. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. Your pet will be treated like my own — safe, loved, and happy every moment we’re together. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or drop‑in visits, I’m here to make their day better. “Can I pet that dog?!” is basically my catchphrase, and I always seem to make new furry friends wherever I go. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out — I’d love to chat and learn more about your pet. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets. I’m available Monday - Friday for drop ins up to 4x a day and weekends when planned in advance. I can keep your fur babies company in the comfort of their own home with drop in visits and can take your pets on walks in their neighborhood.
About: Hi! I’m Sophia, a dependable and caring animal lover who treats every dog or cat like family. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I make it my priority to provide a safe, loving, and fun environment while you’re away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or cuddles on the couch, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! My schedule varies throughout the week, but I have great availability for pet care! I work at a salon Monday and Tuesday from 7am-6pm, and Wednesday from 7am–3pm. I also work at a restaurant Thursday and Friday from 3pm-10pm. I am fully available on Saturdays and Sundays and can accommodate visits, walks, and pet care around my schedule. I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s needs! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I have a dog of my own and regularly pet sit for friends and family, so I have plenty of experience caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, give them plenty of attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I grew up in a multi-dog household and have experience with everything from big labs to small chihuahuas. One of my family dogs had diabetes, so I understand how important routine, medication, and careful monitoring are. I also fostered a puppy who wasn’t crate trained, so I’m patient and confident working with younger dogs still learning structure. I’m very hands-on, detail-oriented, and make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable. My remote work schedule allows me to provide flexible, hands-on care all day long. I’m experienced with dogs who require structured routines and strict feeding schedules, and I take pride in following instructions closely. Your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care—not just quick check-ins treat every pet like my own and focus on keeping their routine consistent. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get regular potty breaks and walks, enjoy playtime, and receive lots of love and attention. I follow all care instructions closely and always communicate with updates and pictures.
“Alydia took such great care of our three boys!! One of our cats was recovering from surgery and required special needs and she took such good care of him. She sent lots of pictures and gave us frequent updates.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,675 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 .

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 , 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.
