“Andy did a great job watching our cats while we were away. We got timely updates and he communicated very clearly with us. Would definitely recommend!”
“Grace is awesome! She is very communicative and happily worked with my random schedule. I couldn’t be happier. And my dog loves Grace as well. He is all about people but he knows his favorites and Grace is one of them. She is great to work with!”
“Zilalai was a great sitter for our cat Moogle! She was prompt in her visits and sent photos/notes every day. She was also happy to arrange and meet and greet beforehand to let us and our cat get comfortable with her first. We came home after a week to a happy and healthy cat. Thanks Zilalai!”
“Hafeezat is always such a pleasure. She keeps me posted and her great pics of my Edgar always bring a smile to my face. She is always prompt and communicative. Highly recommend!”
About: Growing up with dogs, I was always active and outdoors with them. i know how important it is for your pet to be exercised and the joy it brings them to tag along for fun activities. I will be working part time from home and new to Boston looking to dedicate more hours to your pet and establish a reliable relationship with new client long term. I'm very attentive to their leash behavior and put their safety first when outside. Inside the house, I make sure there are no choking hazards, and they are hydrated in extreme temperatures.
“Took great care of my ferrets!!! I got sent lots of photos and the kids were clearly hopping around having a great time. Will definitely rebook in the future if needed :)”
“Alexander was a very kind and responsible care provider to our two darlings and his extra care and communication was very helpful as we changed a couple of routines for our cats just when he came to care for them. Our shy kitty even interacted with him! I highly recommend Alex if you need a caring and attentive cat-sitter.”
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life! I am lucky to have cared for pets across their entire lives, from puppy/kitten to lovely senior pets. I am currently volunteering at a cat shelter in Boston and would love to bring that experience to your pets. I love pets of all shapes and sizes, but I absolutely adore caring for big dogs and shy cats. I volunteer at a cat shelter in Boston three days a week, but I am otherwise free all throughout weekdays to look after your pets! I am happy to do morning or midday visits to take special care of your pets. I think it is incredibly important that caring for pets does not disrupt their regular habits or schedule! It's so important to gain the trust of people's pets in order to properly care for them, and so I will do everything I can to make sure that your pets feel safe and comfortable while I make sure their needs are met.
“Carley is awesome. We can always count on her and she is really great with our two dogs, taking care of them, walking them, making sure they have food and fresh water, a snack, etc. Thanks Carley!”
About: Hi! My name is Abby and I’m so excited to meet your pets. I grew up with big dogs (German Shepherds, Pitbulls), as well as quite a few cats, including ones with medical needs. My sister and I currently have 3 cats, but I still LOVE dogs and always go hang out with my parents dogs when I can. I have experience overnight sitting dogs, and drop ins for cats and am excited for even more experience! I am working full time, but am happy to check in before work and definitely for a while after work. I can also check in during the weekend. In my home, I have three cats but am happy to separate if needed. My cats love to play and sleep! In others houses, I pay close attention to routines, and i want to make sure that your animal feels as though their routine is not disrupted. And that they feel loved and taken care of!
“Was incredibly attuned to my lil anxious Winston, provided consistent helpful feedback & was just overall a perfect pet sitter for my baby boy! I was nervous using rover for the first time, and Rachel exceeded my expectations & went above and beyond. Will be working with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats big little and everything in between! I love going on walks, playing catch, and giving lots of pets and love. I have experience giving medications, and dealing with elderly pets as well as the little kitties and puppies! I currently work as an Afterschool teacher and PCA, and am busy 11-6 on weekdays for the school year. However, my mornings and late evenings are open. I am also free weekends! I am able to stay with your animals while you are away, or check in on them for walks or play time during the day. Whatever you need!
“Julie was wonderful and communicative! We booked her for 2 drop ins and she was punctual, provided a report, and plenty of pics! Would certainly book Julie again. 🐱”
“Alexis did a great job taking care of my cat! She was very communicative and able to adapt around any requests. I would definitely love to have her take care of my cat in the future.”
“Tess looked after my puppy for me while I was at work this summer and I couldn’t think of a better person for the job! She was so communicative and detail oriented, took great notes on his eating and bathroom schedule. My roommates continuously commented on how sweet she was with him and how well he did with her! I couldn’t recommend her more!!”
About: I grew up my whole life with cats and dogs. I have worked as a dog walker and pet sitter on and off since high school. I love all pets, of all ages, so much so I just rescued my cat Rocky this year! I’m currently a graduate student at Boston College. As of right now I am available every day for walking and drop ins. But schedule will change once the academic year begins. At your home I will ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable as they get to know me. I will keep them entertained and provide enrichment.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for years and understand their personalities, comfort needs, and unique habits. I’m dependable, communicative, and treat every pet with the same love and respect I give my own. My interest in pursuing dog behavior work helps me be more attentive and in tune with each dog’s emotions. Whether your pup enjoys active outings or relaxed snuggles, I create a safe, happy, and reassuring experience tailored to them. I'm currently working part-time and maintain a pretty flexible schedule. I am happy to coordinate my schedule around your pup's routine in order to be dependable and reliable. I specialize in dog walking and drop-in visits, I work on ensuring pets receive attentive care while visiting their own home. I like to carefully follow routines and provide updates after each visit. I'm located in Allston, close to local parks giving me easy access to great walking routes suited to both high-energy and relaxed dogs.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I bring to every pet I meet—because I truly treat them like family. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy learning the ropes or a senior pet needing a gentler touch, I adjust my care to meet their unique needs. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, including those with medical needs or anxiety. I’m confident giving medications, reinforcing basic training, and creating a calm, comforting environment for your pet—whether it’s during a quick drop-in or an overnight stay. You can expect consistent communication, lots of photo updates, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands. I work from home most days and have a flexible schedule that allows me to be flexible in the care I provide for fur babies. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment that feels like a second home. I stick to their regular routines as much as possible—feeding times, walk schedules, crate or nap habits—so they feel secure. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, play, and cuddle time, and I never leave pets unsupervised for long periods.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brighton
Hannah is excellent with my black cat, Juniper! She engages with Junie at the level she needs, shifting her play and attention based on my cat’s mood. She always checks food, water and litter and takes good photos with a detailed report. I will be using her again!
Elli was an absolutely great sitter for our Cocker Spaniel. She responded to our Last Minute Request very timely and allowed us to have an evening out of hotel without Winnie while traveling. She was early for Start Time and extremely flexible with our request to be a little late. Clearly she took great care of Winnie!! Very professional with communications. Would highly recommend Elli for taking care of your pet!!
Great first time using Rover with Alyssa! Our meet and greet was very comforting and she helped me understand the app better during that time before booking with her. During the visits, she left detailed reports and got cute photos of my cat. I definitely would recommend Alyssa for any of your pet needs!

- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .

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 .
