Kenneth was great! You can tell he loves animals. He took care of our three year old cat, Winston. Winston is a bit shy but came out for pets with Kenneth each visit. It was so good to see!

Rene is absolutely fantastic. She was always prompt, diligent and so caring for our cat. This was our first time leaving Milo. Rene immediately put us at ease. She communicated constantly. She came prior to the scheduled visits to meet Milo, who loved Rene instantly. During the visits, Rene sent us pictures of Milo. She did “all the things” (litterbox, food, water etc), probably more carefully than we do at home haha. Rene even brushed Milo, which was above and beyond. We are so happy Rene took care of our pet. We can’t say enough good things about Rene.

Catherine was such a relief after a number of bad experiences with cat sitters who forgot to come or forgot the care needed for our cats. Catherine is very professional, left simple and timely notes about our kittie’s status after each visit, and left us feeling assured of their well-being. I will definitely be looking to book Catherine again!

Lynette was amazing with our two cats. She was professional, compassionate, and so sweet. She went out of her way to pick up our keys. This was our first trip leaving our cats over night and she put us at ease with detailed updates and lots of adorable pictures. We really appreciate her caring for our fluffy monsters and definitely recommend her!

Dymond was amazing! She accepted our request at the last minute and really helped us out with our dog. She was super communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos. In the past when we’ve left our dog with a sitter she’d act nervous and scared when we returned home. This time with Dymond though, our dog was happy and calm when we came back. We can tell she got a lot of exercise and had fun! We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to others for your pet sitting needs!

Nicole was wonderful … very communicative and easy to work with. She followed care instructions perfectly and was very tolerant of some of our cat idiosyncrasies (peeing accidents outside the litterbox 😬) - cleaning up as needed. Her detailed updates reflected the thorough care she was providing - playing and interacting with our cats, understanding their personalities, along with usual care duties. Highly recommend - we look forward to using her again!

She was kind, reliable, and I really appreciated the daily updates she provided. I definitely recommend booking with her if you're looking for someone to care for your pets!

Riley gave me lots of peace of mind that Bun was being taken care of, looked after, and getting the attention she loves. She left a little summary on the rover card of what she did and how Bun was, and included a few photos for each drop in so I could see that Bun was doing well. I would definitely recommend booking Riley!

Shen-Huan was perfect from start to finish for my cat. She communicates quickly, sends adorable pictures and updates on every visit, and also is thoughtful. My cat is elderly and needed meds and twice-a-day visits; Shen-Huan was very kind, very patient, very understanding with Ginger. She got her meds, got lots of love and scritches while I was away, and I came home to a very happy chill cat. Would absolutely request her again for our home, would recommend to yours!

She was on time and followed every single instructions I gave her. I highly recommend Sandra to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.

We loved having Tim look after our cat for the week! He was so kind and patient with our very senior furball. On top of the time he took to give lots of love and playtime, Tim kept perfect track of meds and food. What’s more—was so nice in managing a few bouts of ‘tummy trouble’. We would totally book him again!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Boyds

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 7,613 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Boyds. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Boyds. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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.
