“Katrina was great! I had a last minute scheduling change, and Katrina was very accommodating. She sent lots of pictures and notes for each visit, and based on the pictures, my cat clearly liked playing with her and felt very comfortable around her. Will absolutely book her services again in the future!”
“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 grew up with cats and dogs (and other animals) and have been a genuine animal lover from the beginning! I genuinely love and hold deep respect for ALL animals - domestic and wildlife. I started volunteering at an animal shelter at the age of 8 and often brought home cats (including kittens and seniors) and/or dogs (including seniors) to foster. I have continued with animal-related volunteering as well as rescue and fostering throughout the years and have fostered many cats and dogs, including experience with rescuing and fostering two pregnant dogs, one of which gave birth at my home (and actually partially in my lap). Mama and her puppies stayed with me until we were at a point for all to be adopted. I adopted my sweet dog and cat (Lucy and Fluffy) from Puerto Rico and they love Boston life! I have significant experience with overall cat and dog care, including puppies, as well as significant hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages with mild to severe chronic illness and/or diseases, as well as medication administration for both my own and others'. I currently have a very flexible schedule. I'd love to get to know your fuzz babies! I'm currently offering animal care (cat and dog drop-in visits and dog walking) full-time and I currently have a very flexible schedule. I pay attention to detail and follow instructions and will of course provide what is requested in terms of food/water, walks and/or exercise as well as any "special care needs" and as importantly, I will ensure your little babes feel safe, loved and cared for.
About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs and cats, both at home and as a sitter for others. I love meeting new animals and getting to know them. I am responsible and thorough, and would be absolutely thrilled to meet you and your pet(s)! My schedule is variable week to week, but I often have morning and evening availability. I’m happy to work with you to ensure your pet gets what they need on a schedule that will work for everyone! Tell me exactly what they need! I want to ensure that your pet is happy, healthy and calm, so I would love for you to tell me exactly what they need and how it’s done.
About: Ever since working at a pet boarding kennel in high school, I have loved caring for others' animals. My friends regularly depend on me to check in on and spend time with their cats and kittens of varying ages. I work from home with a flexible schedule, and am happy to drop in when needed for feeding, play time, or anything your furry friend may need. When cat-sitting for friends, I love to spend as much time as I can with kittens who are used to more social and play time. I am beyond happy to give as many treats as you see fit and send videos of your furry friend while you're away.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always had a love for caring for them! Growing up with pets of my own has taught me the importance of providing animals with love, attention, and consistent care. Over the years, I’ve also cared for dogs and cats belonging to friends, family, and other families I’ve worked with while babysitting. My experience includes walking dogs, feeding pets, providing companionship, following their daily routines, and staying with them while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and would treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own! I’m currently a Nursing student at Simmons University and also work part-time as a Physical-Therapy Aide and babysitter, but I love making time for animals! My schedule varies throughout the week, and I’m happy to coordinate with pet owners to find times that work for everyone. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, or some extra attention and companionship, I’ll do my best to accommodate their routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets and am committed to being reliable and communicative! Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I always make sure to follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific needs their pets may have. I pay close attention to each animal’s behavior and comfort level and do my best to maintain their normal routine to help them feel secure. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and pictures so you can feel confident knowing your furry family members are in good hands!
“Tommy was wonderful with our two cats. They were especially patient with our elderly cat who needed more time to eat. They took their time feeding and playing with the cats, made sure the doors were locked, and were kind enough to bring in any packages that were delivered when we were gone. Would definitely contact again next time we need a sitter.”
About: I’m Melissa, your pet’s newest fan and soon-to-be best friend! As a lifelong animal lover with a passion for the world of medicine, I’m actively pursuing a veterinary career 🐾👩🔬🩺 I’m a recent university graduate staying in Boston during my gap years so I’d love nothing more than to spend my new-found free time caring for your pet! I currently have no pets of my own at home but have spent years playing, watching over, and caring for family and friends’ pets, volunteering at animal shelters/rescue organizations, and learning more in-depth about animal behavior + biology through my college courses. As a vet tech, I've also developed the confidence and skill needed to handle difficult or emergency situations with pets of all shapes and sizes. Leaving your pet in someone else’s hands can be stressful for you and your fuzzy family alike and I’m here to do everything in my power to reduce that anxiety for you both. You can count on the most detailed updates including photos, videos, and calls (if requested) to keep you in the loop about what your pet is up to during your time apart, how they’re feeling, any new friends made, and more! I truly believe that communication is key and I will go above and beyond to ensure that you get honest, detailed, and reliable information while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priorities, and I take pride in creating a safe, joyful environment for them. As someone who is dedicating their life to supporting the health and safety of all animals, I promise to love, cherish, and care for your cat or dog as though it were my own! I swear not only to do no harm, but to leave no head un-pat, no tail un-wagged, and no cat or dog lacking in loving care while under my watch 🥰 I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends! My current schedule is very flexible on weekends, Wednesdays, and Thursdays so I can care for your pet as needed. 😊 I’m available to provide frequent potty breaks and walks not just during a lunch break, but whenever you feel like they need a drop-in visit while you’re busy. I’m also more than happy to come by and visit, play with, and/or clean after your cats whenever you need. Whether you need morning or evening, I will work with you to attend to all of their needs! Looking after your pet is not a responsibility I take lightly; I don’t believe there is such a thing as being “too careful” when it comes to safety! I’m very mindful of the objects, toys, and food items your dog and/or cat may encounter at home or outside. Any notes on behavior around other animals as well as potential quirks, triggers, or sensitivities are all incredibly useful things to let me know so I can keep your pet and myself safe during our time together ☺️ Safety and communication are always #1! (*I don’t provide cat or dog sitting/boarding services at my home currently)
“Ella took excellent care of my elderly cat, keeping her company and administering her medication. She provided detailed notes and many pictures after each drop-in. I also appreciate that she left everything neat and tidy.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all different personalities for friends and family over the years. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, litter boxes, and of course plenty of cuddles! I’m attentive to each pet’s routine and will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. As a med student (currently getting my MPH!) my schedule is fairly flexible, which gives me plenty of time to fit pet care into my routine. I’m happy to make time for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away! I know every pet has their own routine and personality, so I’m happy to follow whatever makes them feel most comfortable! I’ll make sure they’re safe, well cared for, and get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while you’re away.
“Thank you for taking care of our old ladies again. Our cats love Emma and Thomas so much. We have booked with Emma and Thomas twice now, and each time have come home to very happy cats. It's wonderful being able to know they are in great hands.”
“Erin was awesome! Very communicative, everything was smooth and easy. The kitties loved her and I completely trust them with her. Came home from a long trip to a clean apartment and happy/healthy kitties.”
“Rachel was extremely reliable and took such good care of Mocha! She sent us pictures and provided us with plenty of updates. We will definitely have her come back the next time we’re away.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Brookline Village
We are SO very grateful we met Christina! She's an outstanding cat sitter, and we greatly appreciated the detailed photos/Rover card!! It was our first time on Rover, and really loved how easy it was to communicate. Christina was a super communicator! We have a special needs older cat, Izzy (14+, fussy eater, just started hyperthyroid meds, was losing weight, plus some other elder cat issues). It was the first time we went away overnight since Izzy's new diagnosis and I admit, I was nervous about leaving her. Christina completely put me at ease and was SO great with Izzy! She even offered some really helpful insights about an elevated food bowl (to help with Izzy's appetite, arthritis, fussy eating). Christina took so much time and such care with Izzy. Thank you so much!
Lindsey took wonderful care of my soul kitty while I was away for 4 days. She sent pictures showing the progression of my babe warming up to her & even letting her hold & snuggle! My kitty does not warm up to everyone so it was very nice to know how safe & comforted she was the whole time I was away! Thank you again!
Maya was an awesome cat sitter! She did everything we were looking for and took such great care of our cat. She was very caring, attentive, and great with communication, which made us feel comfortable while we were away. We really appreciated her help and would definitely book her again!
Can not recommend Yeji enough! My cat Peanut is incredibly shy and Yeji did an amazing job making her feel comfortable. You can tell she was well taken care of from the cute pictures in her Rover card! Yeji is thorough and trustworthy, super communicative, made an extra effort to keep my apartment tidy, and made Peanut feel loved even while I was away for a full week in another country!
Kailey was absolutely wonderful! They were so kind, left thoughtful and detailed notes, and took great pictures of my cat. As my cat gets older and more particular in his ways, I’ve become a little more nervous about leaving him with new sitters. But every card from Kailey reassured me that he was in great hands and being so well cared for. I really appreciated the care and attention they gave him, and the peace of mind they provided me. I would absolutely book with Kailey again and cannot recommend them enough!
Without a doubt, Liza will always be our go-to sitter! She is so attentive to our kitty, detailed with the updates she provides on Rover, so good at capturing hilarious photos of our kitty, and clearly is so passionate about what she does. We appreciate her help every time we book her.
Beth was one of the most responsible and reliable cat sitters we have had. Our cats need meds including an insulin injection which she handled perfectly. She was even accommodating of unexpected deliveries coming to our house and knew when to reach out w questions. She is immediately responsive to communications and so loving with our cats. We are so lucky to have found an amazing sitter for our cats when we are away!
Catherine was super caring and considerate in her visits with Stormy, giving her plenty of pets, play, and even cleaning up her throw up (💀). Catherine was always communicative letting me know when she would visit and if there would be any delays with her timing etc!
Alexa is wonderful! She kept us well informed at each feeding and took lots of photos. The cats took to her right away. When we returned home, everything was as it should be. She also went above and beyond when a package arrived while we were away, but was damaged. We highly recommend Alexa and hope that she is available next time we need a cat sitter.
Jordan is fabulous! I needed to book at the last minute and she was accommodating to my needs. My kitty, Percy, took to her immediately. I felt comfortable having Jordan take care of my kitty while I was away. I recommend Jordan if you are looking for a true “cat whisperer”. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Brookline Village is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $48 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. 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 Meet & Greet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Brookline Village. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
