“Heather was absolutely amazing with our cats! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter while we were away. She went above and beyond - bringing in our packages, checking on our fish, and even offering to grab our mail. It gave us such peace of mind knowing everything at home was being cared for. Our cat, who usually hides from everyone, actually started coming out more with each visit - clearly, she felt comfortable with Heather! It’s safe to say we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Excellent, trustworthy, & responded to texts quickly. Frequently sent pictures of our cat, Stubby. Stubby tends to hide from strangers but she was able to get him to come out and respond to her.”
“As always Haley took great care of our cat and fish while we were away. Highly recommend Haley! Will definitely continue to use her pet sitting services in the future”
“Janine did an amazing job with my 18 year old diabetic cat. I was nervous to leave him as he's been getting older and requires more attention. She fed him and gave him medication and much attention. She provided detailed and timely updates that put my mind at ease. She also included lots of pictures. I will definitely use her services again. I am very grateful.”
“Lila was fantastic! My cats are normally shy and scared of strangers, but she got them to come and play! She is practically a cat whisperer. Will be rebooking her for my next trip.”
“Riley was great! She responded very quickly, and our cat Thomas loved her immediately. This was our first time using Rover and we felt very comfortable knowing he was in great hands. Would book again!”
About: Lived with cats my whole life and can help and adapt to whatever pet needs care. I’ve taken care of mostly cats and some dogs over the years. I work as a gig worker for Convention Production Rigging and I take jobs as they are given. Some of their jobs they give me may be last minute, but I will only take them if it doesn’t conflict with a booking. I have 2 cats at home and they live a very comfy life. We have an automatic litter box that I perform maintenance on when necessary, dry food always available and wet food at night. They have cat trees for climbing and plenty of soft seats and beds for resting.
About: I’ve had all types of animals since the age of 5! Rabbits, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, turtles, and even rehab raccoons. I love all animals more than most things in the world, your pet will be in the best hands and care with me. Im currently working part time, and when I'm not working I'm home! I am home every night and will absolutely let your pet snuggle in bed if they want to I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with a fenced in dog park and miles of side walked back roads through our village to walk your pup on! I love to get my 10,000 steps everyday, and also be a couch potato, so if you have an active dog or a lazy dog i can adapt to whatever they need. Y
“Mabry took wonderful care of our Mojo and we greatly appreciated her respecting our space by cleaning up litter that Mojo’s messy paws usually leaves behind! We’d love to have her watch Mojo again. :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,689 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.
