“Julie was awesome in every way - she responded right away and arranged an expedited meet and greet for my dog Willow to get to know her. She asked questions that made it clear she is familiar with taking care of all kinds of dogs. She was very reliable for multiple check ins and clearly loves animals - she took plenty of pictures of my dog and cat for me to see! Would happily recommend her rover services to anyone.”
“Mirabel once again did a fantastic job looking after our two cats. Not only did she keep them fed and cared for, but she addressed a surprise any situation for us, which was especially helpful.”
About: I have had extensive experience caring for all animals! Whether for family members, friends, and neighbors, I pride myself on being a reliable and constant resource for them! I also have experience with complex care and medicine administration! I am a graduating undergraduate student matriculating into medical school. My schedule is quite flexible until my start date in July, and I am available for days and nights! I will care for them like they are my own babies! I am very detail-oriented, whether it is dog-walking or sitting, feeding, or more I will always be accommodating.
“Neil and Yvette were fantastic. They were very understanding and accommodating when I had to leave on short notice. They cared for my cat well and followed all instructions.”
“Taylor was so sweet with Ellie! Ellie is very shy at first and Taylor gave her the space and time to warm up. She also sent a ton of photos and detailed summary of the visit. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will be reaching out again!”
About: I grew up with a family dog and have about 5 years of experience taking care of other dogs and cats. I’ve also fostered six kittens! I love going on long walks so happy to care for dogs that need a lot of exercise. I’m currently unemployed before starting grad school, so I have a very flexible schedule. Happy to do most days and times even on the weekends. I love spending time with all types of animals, so will be very engaging when caring for pets. I also love going on walks and exploring the nearby parks and would love to bring a dog with me.
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 grew up with dogs and have always loved being around them and getting to know their different personalities! I enjoy going on walks and staying active, so I love making sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, and I’ll treat your dog like my own. My goal is to make sure every dog feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for! I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, from mornings to late afternoons! I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine and make sure they get the time, attention, and care they need. I primarily offer dog walking and care in clients’ homes. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I’m respectful of each home and attentive to every dog’s individual needs and routine. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away!
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
About: I have two lively huskies at home who are almost turning 10! I’ve taken care of them since they were puppies so I have experienced every stage from puppy to adulthood. I also have 3 cats so as you can imagine my house is pretty hairy. Recently I petsat for someone for 5 days and nights while they were on vacation which allowed me to grow close to their furry friends! I have also just stopped by to feed and walk neighbors’ and local pets. I am excited to help a fellow animal lover! I am a student so weekends are free for me with no classes apart from the few weekends I visit home. Most of my classes are in the morning, from M-W I am available after 4pm, from T-S I am available after 2pm, and on the weekends I am available at almost any time. I don’t have any place to house animals currently since I am living on campus. When I enter anyone’s home I am very respectful of your space and understand if there is a bit of a mess. It’s hard to keep everything clean with pets, work, and life, so I won’t add to any mess :)
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I have lifelong experience owning and caring for dogs and cats. I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. Most recently, I worked as a veterinary assistant, gaining hands-on experience understanding a wide range of pets' health and well-being, recognizing changes in behavior, handling nervous animals, administering medication, and following individualized care instructions. I also have 10 years of experience riding & handling horses which taught me patience, adaptability, and how to handle the unexpected when caring for them. I know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Whether it’s a fun walk, a drop-in visit, playtime, or extra TLC for an older pet, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. You can count on me to be attentive, dependable, and provide updates and photos/ videos of your pets so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hands! As a college student, I maintain a consistent weekly schedule that allows me to dedicate time to caring for your pets! I’m available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8–10 AM and 3–6 PM; Tuesdays from 3–6 PM; and Thursdays from 8–10 AM. On weekends, I’m available from 8 AM–6 PM. I do my best to be flexible within these hours and am happy to coordinate visits and walks around your pet’s routine and individual needs. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s day! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities! My experience as a veterinary assistant has taught me the importance of attentive handling, monitoring behavior, and following care instructions carefully. During drop-in visits, I’ll respect your home, maintain your pet’s usual routine, and make sure they have everything they need, including fresh water, meals, playtime, and plenty of attention based on their individual personality and comfort level. For walks, I prioritize safe leash handling, staying aware of our surroundings, and adjusting the pace and route to your dog’s age, energy level, and needs. I understand that every pet is different, whether they’re shy, energetic, independent, or need a little extra patience. I’ll always respect their boundaries, follow your instructions, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!
About: I was a dog walker in Back Bay and South end for a year and provided loving care to all the dogs I worked with. I have also worked with all sorts of animals at an AZA accredited zoo in upstate New York for 5 year and have learned about how to care for animals in all capacities wether it be cleaning enclosures or giving out enrichment. Im available all week days for walks and weekends for boarding! I’d be happy to provide care for your pup at anytime during the week! I have a nice big apartment in Brookline next to a park where I’m happy to take your pup for some enrichment when hosting. I will follow any guidelines set to make sure your doggo gets all the proper care they need
“Emma was attentive with our two playful kittens! She followed feeding instructions to the letter, played with and petted them, and overall preserved our peace of mind. She showed up precisely on time for daily drop ins and provided detailed report cards. Would highly recommend her as a cat sitter!”
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: Howdy! My name is Natalie and any dog I've met I have loved like my own. Growing up I had my fluffy 90lb Labradoodle and two sweet guinea pigs. Aside from my own pup, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk and feed their dogs and care for their cats. I currently have a full time job where I have to go into the office Monday-Thursday but an available for walks and drop-in on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I live in a small apartment in Brighton MA across the street from a wonderful reservoir and less than a mile away from several parks! I am a very active person so would be a great host for an athletic or active dog! However, if your dog is less active, I can easily bring my activity level to where your dog is happy and comfortable. I allow pets on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to.
Pet 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
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.
