“This was our 3rd booking with Julie and we were so happy she was available on a shorter notice that we’d have preferred. Our boys eagerly await her visits! I think they look forward to us going on trips just so they can see their friend Julie!”
About: I’ve cared for all kinds of animals—dogs, cats, doves, turtles, bunnies, and even a bat in recovery. I rescued my last two dogs back home, but I lost them before moving to the U.S. I miss them every day, so now I pour all that love, care, and goofy joy into every pet I meet. In general, during weekdays (business days) I will be available to start house sitting around 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. next day. Time may vary with scheduled appointments, federal holidays or other related events. Please reach out and I’ll let you know! In your home, I care for pets like they’re my own—gentle, loving, and respectful of their routines. I keep their space clean, their bellies full, and their tails wagging (or purring) with joy. 🐶🐱💛
About: I am experience with caring for several types of dogs and cats in size and breed. I have cared for multiple dogs at the same time and meeting their needs at any age. My greatest strength is my patience and my willingness to communicate with your pets to ensure a working relationship that is based on love and care. I work remotely at home, and I am happy to take breaks to care for pets in between my work. I am flexible with early morning walks to late evening strolls. I love walking through parks and working at pet friendly cafes. I am transparent with my work. Working at clients home is something I understand that must be rooted in trust and care. I respect people's property and schedule to the best of my ability. I am actively aware of the need for communication, and I place that trait above all.
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’m currently a college student at Berklee College of Music, which makes my hours fairly flexible, as well as having easy transportation being in the heart of the city! Though my weekly schedule varies, my weekends are very open for full-time care, and I can easily work around my school schedule to give your furry friends their routine as smoothly as possible 😊 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.
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.
“Our dog Nala and Morgan got along great for her daily walks while we were away. The daily report cards we received gave us peace of mind knowing our girl was in good hands. Will definitely schedule feeding and dog walking with Morgan in the future! Thank you so much!”
“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!”
“taylor was absolutely amazing with our dog Simon! he’s a puppy who is nervous about new people, and she navigated him perfectly. as an added bonus, she made friends with our cat! i would recommend taylor, and would book her whenever we need a dog or cat sitter in the future!”
“Anastasia was so great with our young puppy. We were a little anxious about leaving her for the first time, but this was an excellent experience. Definitely booking again!”
About: Growing up as the youngest and most dog-obsessed of four kids in a busy household, I naturally became my mom’s go-to partner for pet care. Today, I still help my mom care for our two small dogs, Caton and Pops. Because of their size, safety is always my top priority—I maintain constant vigilance against hazards like off-leash dogs, coyotes, and fast traffic. I also have extensive experience handling large, powerful dogs. On top of walking our family’s Giant Schnoodle, Boots, before he passed in 2023, I regularly walk and feed my best friend’s two Australian Shepherd–Pitbull mixes. They are huge, strong, high-energy pups, so I’m very comfortable managing heavy pullers and keeping big dogs fully controlled and safe on leash. I am dedicated to bring safety, structure, and genuine love to every walk. Currently, I’m a full-time pre-med student at BU studying Health Science. I’m a total morning person, so I’m available for early bird pet care before my 8:00 AM classes start, free every weekday afternoon after 2:00 PM, and fully open all day on weekends. I will treat your pet and home with the utmost respect by sticking strictly to your dog's familiar routine for feeding, fresh water, and potty breaks. As a pre-med Health Science student, I bring a detail-oriented mindset to every visit, easily following custom care plans, medication needs, and basic household instructions. On walks, safety is always my top priority: drawing from my experience protecting my own small dogs, I stay hyper-vigilant of hazards like off-leash pets, fast traffic, and local wildlife. Plus, my background with larger breeds like Giant Schnoodles means I can comfortably and confidently handle big, high-energy dogs with proper leash control. You'll never have to wonder how your pup is doing while in my care. Upon request, after every walk, visit, or day care session, I am willing to send detailed updates including photos, potty summaries, and a quick breakdown of your dog’s mood and activity level. My goal is to make sure you feel completely confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way.
“I booked Melissa fairly last-minute to take care of my kitty over Christmas, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She sent me lots of pictures and detailed descriptions of each visit, and I knew my girl was in good hands while I was overseas!”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Brookline is $25
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Brookline
We cannot recommend Suzete highly enough! She was absolutely incredible with our cat, Clyde, and went above and beyond in every possible way. She cleaned his litter box and water fountain, brushed him, played with him, brought him toys, and consistently stayed longer than the time we had scheduled. She also sent us wonderful pictures and updates, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. The best testament to how wonderful she was with Clyde was how calm and content he was when we got home. It was honestly as if we had never left. It was so clear that he had been incredibly well cared for and had gotten a ton of attention and affection. Suzete is kind, thoughtful, reliable, and truly exceptional at what she does. We recommend her more than 100% and will absolutely be using her again and again. Clyde was lucky to have her!
Alexina was amazing! It was a pleasure working with her, from our pre-booking “meet and greet” to her final visit and kind note. She was incredibly thoughtful and communicative, making it easy to trust her with our three cats and our home. This was our first Rover experience, and I felt so reassured to find Alexina, someone we can really trust. Thanks so much, Alexina!
Helena took fantastic care of my cat Liuliu. She kept me posted on the feeding schedule, shared what she noticed about my cat and apartment, and asked extremely thoughtful questions. Liuliu had a hard time adjusting to staying with friends during my leave, but Helena's steady, gentle presence helped her settle right back in. It brought me great comfort to see how well Liuliu was doing with Helena around, and I loved all the pictures and videos she shared along the way.
Julia was wonderful with my cat, Draco! She really took the time to understand his personality, and it looked like he had so much fun playing and hanging out with her while I was away. She sent detailed updates after every visit along with lots of photos, which I really appreciated and made me feel great knowing he was happy and well cared for. I’d definitely book with her again!

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.
