About: I have had around 10 pets the past 10 years and I love animals so much!!!!! I will take care of your pets like there my own and make sure they feel loved!!!!! I currently play at FC Miami for semi pro soccer, and I played soccer at Barry university. So I have a lot of time after soccer (usually after 10/ 11 AM ) to take care of your pets!! I love hanging out and spending time with pets, and making sure they are taken care of and felt loved! I treat them like there my own!
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I currently work as a full time veterinary technician at general practice animal hospital where I am pursuing my degree in veterinary technology. I also have previous experience working in veterinary vaccination clinics, where I gained hands-on experience handling and caring for dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with animal handling, recognizing signs of illness or discomfort, following detailed care instructions, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I also have pets of my own, including a large dog and three cats, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. My goal is to provide every pet with the same patience, attention, and love that I give my own animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, feeding, playtime, or just some extra attention, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine, both at home and through my work as a veterinary technician. I fit bookings around my work schedule and confirm availability beforehand so each pet gets the time and attention they need. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable with me. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, and care, keep doors and gates secure, and respect your home. You can also expect updates and photos while you’re away!
“I hired Anna to watch my house while I was on vacation for a week. I didn’t have any pets in my home while I was gone but I wanted someone to go and bring in the mail, flip the lights, and check my property for damage or theft. She went above and beyond the whole week! She is an amazing communicator, hard worker, and honest person. I highly recommend her service for house sitting and pet sitting alike. I will definitely hire her again. Thanks!”
“This was my first experience hiring a pet sitter through Rover, and Janine was great to my two kitties. She made sure they were fed and successfully gave one of them their twice daily medication, along with giving playtime and attention. I felt very comfortable and confident leaving my kitties with Janine while I was away for a few days!”
“Thank you so much, Shane, for taking such great care of our cats, Mira and Luke! She completed 4 drop-in visits over two days and was incredibly reliable. We really appreciated the frequent updates and photos she sent, which made us feel completely at ease. Both Mira and Luke loved her! We would highly recommend Shane and will definitely ask her to watch them again next time.”
“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!”
About: Hi, my name is Lauren! I have experience working with a wide variety of working dogs, so I understand the multifaceted care that comes with monitoring and mitigating stress, animal behavior, administering dog first aid and medications, providing fun enrichment and exercise for your pup! As someone who has a senior dog, I am well-versed in accommodating special diets and other habitual needs that your furry friend requires! I will look after them as if they were my own. I currently work part-time that has some flexibility in the mornings and evenings. I don’t work a typical 9-5, weekday kind of job so there’s a chance I can help out while you’re at work! I have a spacious apartment (with big windows to look out of) that is close by to a few parks. I like to take long walks to ensure a proper potty break for your dog, while also providing time for sniffing and exploring. In others homes, I am very respectful of boundaries and following instructions: cleaning up messes that are made, etc. I can also water your plants!
“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.”
“Allison was fantastic! She took photos and videos of our two cats which was always a highlight of our day to see the cats happy and playing while we were away. She was also very accommodating to accessing my apartment building which can be difficult sometimes.”
“Christina is amazing!! She took such great care of my boys!! She was very thorough and detailed in all updates and communication! She provided so many great pictures and made sure to spend quality time with my boys! Will most definitely be using her again! 10/10 recommended her!!”
“I absolutely could not have picked a better sitter! Alesha took care of my cats and my house for a week while I was out of the country. She respected my property and was extremely communicative, and really set my mind at ease. She went above and beyond what I expected in every way, did my laundry, cleaned out and organized my fridges, scrubbed out my filthy kitchen sink so it shines! My cats were sick when she came and one of them had lost weight. I came back to healthy cats and that one has obviously gained weight. My cats loved her judging from the pics she sent me. If you want the best, hire Alesha!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 459 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 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 Meet & Greet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Boston. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
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 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.
