About: I’ve always had at least two dogs in the house, and have always loved caring for cats! I have plenty of experience taking care of horses and chickens, and I’m no stranger to taking care of many pets at one time, for example, 3 large dogs, 3 cats and 3 horses at the same time! I have a super open availability this summer, with more than enough time for late nights, early mornings, and overnight work! I have reliable transportation and a super free schedule to care for furry friends! I live in a condo with two elderly chihuahuas (almost 15 years old!) named Glory and Hero, as well as a super loving mutt rescue named Mysti! I love going for long walks with Mysti, and taking my chihuahuas for nice short walks as they get older. Making sure Mysti gets the proper exercise and attention is super important as she is a medium sized dog in a condo, as well as accommodating my older dogs as they age.
“Alissa was wonderful! I wasn’t worried about Buster at all while I was away because of her detailed reports and photos from each visit. Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Liza truly went above and beyond to give the best care for our cat and to keep us updated every visit on how our cat was doing. With our cat recently getting diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, we knew we were in good hands as Liza has experience administering these thyroid medications. She also helped us manage the heat in our apartment during an extreme heat wave, and that meant everything to us. She is flexible, reliable, and really cares about making sure every pet is happy. We will be rebooking her every time!”
About: Hi! I’m a part-time student with flexible availability and a car for transportation, so I can easily work around your schedule to provide care. I have hands-on dog-sitting experience, including staying overnight for a week with a young pit bull, where I walked, played with, and fed her while maintaining her safety, well-being, and daily routine. I also have experience caring for a pug with special feeding requirements. I’m patient, energetic, and love giving attentive care to pets of all ages. I’m especially comfortable with puppies and young dogs, but I also enjoy spending time with senior dogs, ensuring they feel safe and loved. I’d love the opportunity to walk, play with, and care for your dog! Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I’m a part-time student with flexible availability. I can adjust my schedule around classes to ensure walks, playtime, feeding, and any other needs are met consistently. I prioritize creating a routine for the pets I care for, so they feel safe, happy, and well-attended throughout the day, whether that’s a morning walk, midday play session, or evening feeding. I provide attentive care in your home, following your instructions closely for feeding, walking, playtime, and any special needs. I love walking and exercise, so I’m happy to take your dog on fun, engaging walks to keep them active and healthy. I ensure your pet’s environment stays safe, comfortable, and consistent with their usual routine. My priority is making sure your pet feels happy, secure, and well-cared-for while you’re away.
“Mirabel was fantastic with my two cats while we were on vacation! She went above and beyond and was extremely communicative. I would highly recommend Mirabel!”
“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: Hi, I’m Emma! There is nothing I love more than nurturing and caring for pets who unconditionally love us. I have a very flexible WFH schedule and a desire to fill my day with some companionship. I currently work a remote schedule, with availability throughout the work week. Most weekends I am traveling, but may be able to accommodate if given notice. Able to adjust walking, play, and meal times to meet your pets needs. I can guarantee your pet will be in loving hands, with regular updates and photos
“Sophia is EXCELLENT in all respects. She is very conscientious and amazing with dogs. She went above and beyond for us, addressing challenging issues in real time and responding flexibly when situations and needs changed. We are so grateful to have her caring for our dog!”
About: Hello and thank you for visiting my page! I am a lover of all animals, and I have had both cats and dogs my whole life. I’ve had my cat, Burt Macklin (if you’re a fan of Parks and Rec) for over five years and he is my favorite creature! I have no problem taking care of cats of all sizes and am comfortable administering oral medication. I currently can’t own a dog in my apartment, so I love walking and taking care of dogs to get my fix. I can take care of dogs of all sizes and ages, and I’ll be sure to ask about their walking behaviors and any habits/training they’re working on. I am able to do overnight stays when needed and aim to give your house lion and/or pooch the best care while their human(s) are away. I am a very positive and optimistic person, so I will always bring an upbeat attitude to all my dog walks. I am an open book and can answer any questions as needed. Hope to meet you and your fur child! I’m currently working part-time and have lots of flexibility during the week and on weekends. I also have a car and am able to travel with your pet if needed. I take it very seriously when someone trusts me to take care of their pet, whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or house sitting. I am always considerate of other people’s spaces and treat both your home and your beloved support creatures like my own!
“Anastasia was fantastic! She went out of her way to make sure our little scaredy cat Jake was super comfortable, and even went back to double-check on his comfort. She also was very communicative and prompt. And even brought in our mail! We will definitely be asking her for her services again! She’s wonderful!”
“Kayla did a great job with my dog, Archie! She is professional, courteous and follows directions. I’m always worried to leave Archie with sitters, as he needs extra guidance on walks. but Kayla handled him like she had been watching him for years. I look forward to hiring her again!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, growing up with dogs, birds, and fish, so caring for pets has always felt natural to me. Over the years, I’ve regularly pet sat for friends and family, caring for both cats and dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well taken care of. Some of the responsibilities I’ve had before include administering medicine, specific dietary requirements, and playing or walking pets. I have always loved animals and will give your pet the care and attention they deserve. I know how important consistency is, and I will do my best to make each pet feel at ease. I also have a reliable car, so I’m able to travel to your home and accommodate different schedules when needed. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I treat each one with the same patience, kindness, and kindness you would. Currently my schedule is flexible so I can work with clients that may need flexibility and can also fit in time to play/walk pets as well. I can travel to client’s places and do visits as well as stay at a clients residence. In addition I have cared for pets that need temperature and time sensitive medication and for pets with dietary restrictions and other specific accommodations. I have worked with dogs of all sizes as well and have experience with cats. If you have other pets other than cats or dogs I am willing to accommodate that as well potentially.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Brookline
Working with Hannah was fantastic! She took such thorough notes at our meet and greet — so I knew my kitty Clover was going to be in great hands. Her updates were charming & detailed, communication 10/10, and her photos on Clover’s Rover card were amazing! Will be booking again :)
We are thrilled we found Alyssa! It's clear she puts a lot of care into pet sitting. She put us at ease while we were on vacation for a week. She took care of our cat, played with her and gave her food. She communicated the appropriate amount and even took care of our cat's throw up. We appreciated the daily reports and photos. We will definitely book her again. :)
Nick took such good care of our cats (daily check-ins while we were away for a week), sending us detailed daily updates and photos and going above and beyond to check on questions we had while we were away. One of our cats is very shy and hides whenever someone new comes over, but Nick managed to find him even in his sneakiest hiding places and get pictures of him so we could see him. We highly recommend Nick and look forward to working with him in the future!
Stephanie was great. She left detailed messages and multiple photos daily which was very much appreciated. And took time with my shy and quirky cat Winston, making big effort to earn his trust. He's a long hair boy prone to matting, and she did an excellent job brushing him too. I would rebook without hesitation.
If I could give Alexina 10 out of 5 stars I would! She really understands cats and was so good to my sweet cat. I came home to find my sweet and extremely social kitty happy and well cared for. He is usually anxious when I come home from a weekend away but he was calm, happy and confident. Also everything was pristine/clean. 💕💕💕💕
We’ve been really impressed with Liza. She was so communicative about what was going on with our cats. There was a little behavioral issue, which she brainstormed and came up with a great care plan to take care of. She’s very experienced and understood the psychology of what each pet needed. I’ll 100% have her return next time.
Katrina was a joy to work with. She took wonderful care of our cat while we were on vacation. This was our first time with her sitting for us and there was no stress or issues and she made it so easy. She kept us updated with great photos and videos. Would definitely recommend her!
Alexa is an amazing cat sitter! She took great care of our 2 cats - coming morning and night to feed them, giving them lots of love, and make sure they were doing well while we were out of town for 5days. She absolutely went above and beyond, including searching the house for Daisy when she didn’t see her as usual one evening. Turned out Daisy had gotten locked in the attic after our cleaners came earlier that day, so we were very lucky Alexa was there and was so attentive and responsible. Thank you so much Alexa! We’d love to have you sit again for us in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Brookline on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,992 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Brookline. 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 Brookline. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
