“She did a great job with our 2 cats while we were away for 5 days. She provided a written and photo update daily, followed our instructions to a tee, and made us feel at ease about them being home alone. It was a much better experience for us and our cats than in the past when we boarded them.”
“Anya was awesome! She was so thoughtful watching our cat. Anya was attentive, communicative, left detailed notes, played with her, was so caring, and was willing to go above and beyond. She clearly cared so much about taking care of our little one. We will definitely be contacting her again. Than you, Anya! Our cat loved you!”
About: Before pursuing my career in elementary education as a special education paraprofessional, I spent three years working at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I gained extensive hands-on experience managing groups of dogs, reading body language, and ensuring a safe, fun environment. I also spent time working as a veterinary assistant, gaining valuable skills in gentle handling, restraint, and recognizing subtle signs of stress or illness. Additionally, I have been a devoted cat mom for over 20 years and have provided reliable pet sitting for family and friends' cats and dogs for the past decade. Why Pet Parents Trust Me: - Professional Animal Handling Background: My time in both a boarding facility and a veterinary clinic means I know how to safely handle pets of all temperaments and ensure they feel safe, happy, and secure. - Medication & Special Care: I am experienced and confident administering oral and topical medications, supplements, and following precise health routines for senior pets or those with special needs. - Special Education Paraprofessional Background: My career in education brings an exceptional level of patience, structure, and attentive care to every visit. I treat every animal with individual attention and consistent care. - Lover of All Ages & Species: From energetic puppies and playful dogs to gentle seniors and timid cats, I have years of personal and professional experience catering to pets at every stage of life. My workday finishes around 2:30 PM. This schedule gives me reliable, consistent availability for late afternoon, evening, and weekend drop-in visits. On Thursdays, I teach dance in the late afternoon, so my availability starts after 4:00 PM. Whether your pet needs an afternoon check-in, an evening meal and play session, or weekend care while you are away, my set schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of quality time to keeping your pets happy, safe, and right on routine! When visiting your home, your pet's safety and the security of your property are my top priorities: - Secure Entrances & Exits: I am extremely mindful of doors, gates, and windows during visits to ensure pets never have an opportunity to slip outside unexpectedly. - Home Respect & Security: I treat your home with total care and privacy, always making sure doors are double-checked and locked upon leaving. - Continuous Updates & Communication: You will receive detailed visit reports and photos after every drop-in, so you always know how your pet is doing, when they were fed, and that everything went smoothly. Tailored & Attentive Pet Care: - Routine & Consistency: I carefully follow your specific instructions for feeding, fresh water, medication timing, and exercise to keep your pet’s routine completely undisturbed. - Personalized Attention & Stress Reduction: Whether your pet loves high-energy playtime or just wants gentle, quiet cuddles on the couch, I meet every pet where they're at, adjusting to their personality and comfort zone. - Proactive Health & Behavior Awareness: With my background in dog boarding and veterinary assistant work, I continuously monitor body language and health to ensure your pet is safe, happy, and comfortable at all times.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 13 years old. I gained experience through having my own pets at home as well as providing loving care for other families. I have a 14 year old Pomeranian Maltese Mix and a 4 year old cat. I can help with things like pet sitting, dog walking, feeding, playtime, giving plenty of love and attention, etc. I am working part-time, but during my free time I’d love to help care for pets because I’ve always had a love for animals and can give them the care they need to be happy and healthy! When I care for my own dog at home, I enjoy taking him for walks in areas away from too many cars like neighborhoods or dog parks (with his leash on) so that he has plenty of space to roam around and can meet other friendly dogs!
“Margaret took such great care of our cats, she is wonderful. She is so sweet, very caring and I hope she will take care of Olive and Otis again next time we go away! I highly recommend her!”

About: I have experience caring for cats, dogs, rabbits, and occasionally reptiles such as lizards. My background includes daily feeding routines, litter box and habitat cleaning, basic care, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m comfortable with different pet personalities, including shy or anxious animals, and focus on building trust while providing calm companionship and play. I’ve also cared for multi-pet households and understand how to manage different needs at the same time. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and provide reliable, attentive care so pet parents feel at ease while they’re away. I currently work full time with evenings and weekends off. Perfect fit for someone who needs someone to feed/care for their pet in the evenings, or need a trusted sitter to care for their animals over a weekend. I always make sure I understand each individual pets needs and provide them with the care they need while their owners are not there. This includes walking, feeding and playing with your dogs, feeding, playing and changing litter for the cats, and making sure they are cared for and comfortable.
About: My name is Alani. I currently work at the Animal Rescue League of Boston as an Animal Care worker, and I am also a student studying Public Health. Before my current position at the shelter, my animal experience came from volunteering at various rescues in Massachusetts and Baton Rouge. Through those opportunities, I was able to gain experience working with dogs and cats of varying sizes, breeds, and temperaments. At the ARL, my experience with companion animals has grown significantly and my skills center on force free, low stress care, positive reinforcement training, animal body language, medication administration and advocacy. Mon, Wed & Fri: Morning, Afternoon after 2 Evening Tues & Thurs: Evenings Please reach out if you need help during these times or have any questions! I will make sure to stick to your pet's routine and create a stress-free environment while you're away. I'm happy to follow any instructions you have to keep your pet comfortable and happy. My goal is to be attentive to your pet's needs and body language to make sure their needs are met with care and timeliness. I can also keep you updated with regular messages. I love taking cute photos of your pets, so you'll always know how they're doing.
“Melisa went above and beyond taking care of my cat while we were away for the holidays. She was punctual and extremely thorough and our cat warmed up to her very quickly! She kept me updated and gave me such peace of mind. Definitely book her, she’s the best!!”
“Isabell went above and beyond with our two cats. She was always communicative about any scheduling changes and sent a bunch of photos and videos, outside of the ones included with the daily Rover Card. This was our first time using a pet sitter, outside of family, and she exceeded our expectations. She was patient with our cats and gained their trust and affection, which is hard as they are generally shy with strangers. I would highly recommend her and hope she is still around the next time we choose to travel as our cats grew fond of her.”
“Jessica was great to my two fur babies and I didn’t worry about them while I was on vacation. She kept me update on how they were doing. She was very accommodating and understanding. I definitely recommend her. I will be having her watch my fur babies again.”
About: Currently work from 6am-2 or 3pm on weekdays. I occasionally pick up other shifts and sometimes have dance practice in Boston. But other than that, I’m usually pretty free after 3-4pm every day. I am very serious about pet/cat safety. With my own cats I always make sure to leave nothing on the floor that they could choke on and nothing for them to accidentally hurt themselves with.
“Very attentive and communicative, she understands directions well and clearly enjoys cats. She has some conflicts with her schedule as she is a student but overall, I would hire her again.”
About: I have always loved being around animals and have years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have 5 years of cat-sitting experience, and I also own two cats, so I understand how important patience, routine, cleanliness, and gentle attention are for cats. I’m comfortable feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving fresh water, playing, and making sure cats feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for dogs. My family has had a dog at my mom’s home for 8 years, and I’ve helped with daily care, feeding, walking, playtime, and basic routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always do my best to follow each owner’s instructions carefully. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I do vendor work, so my busiest time is usually on weekends. During the week, my schedule is more flexible, and I’m happy to accept weekday boarding or pet care requests. Because my work hours are flexible, I can make time throughout the day to check on pets, feed them, play with them, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I always try to create a calm, clean, and safe environment for every pet. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, medications if needed, and any special routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality, so I take time to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are doing well.
About: I have experience working with dogs and cats through pet sitting and hospital experience. I have owned dogs for the past 16 years, chinchillas for the past 5 years, and hedgehogs for the past 7 years. I am able to detect symptoms and abnormalities that may require medical attention. I enjoy bringing my pets to a variety of places such as state parks, pet stores and public pet events. I am available most weekdays and weekends. I do not mind staying over for overnight care. My time is pretty flexible for now and I am able to drive to locations within an hour radius using my own car. I have a finished basement that would be used for the pets I care for. It has a bathroom with a hand held shower for easy bathing. I have a crate available for use for dogs under 30 pounds. The basement also has direct access to the back yard for easier potty times. The temperature in the basement is cool during the summer. In the winter the temperature would be adjusted using an electric fire place. Dogs would get enrichment through daily walks, puzzle toys and trick training. Cats would have access to the whole basement to free roam but will not have access to outdoors.
About: I have owned pet dogs my entire life, but have become very involved in dog sports and training as an adult! I love teaching dogs of all ages new skills while keeping their minds and bodies fit and happy. Currently competing in scentwork/nose work, FastCat and training for competition obedience. ✨Ask about my puppy tutor program! ✨I have young, older and handicapped dogs in my current pack, and I enjoy them all! I love working with young dogs and dogs who are still working on their training/manners, but I have a soft spot for seniors. Whether we're going for a walk or hanging out for a weekend, your pup will come home smiling. I work from home full time with flexible hours, so I am available for a variety of walking and sitting services. Weekdays and weekends are available. My dogs thrive on a predictable schedule, including daily training, enrichment and exercise (with plenty of snuggles!). We make sure to balance rest time with active time so everyone stays feeling their best.
“I was so grateful to have had Tibisay watch my cats while I was out of the country for 2 weeks. From the sweet pictures and videos she shared to the way I found my cats when I arrived home, it is clear my cats were well cared for and loved while I was away. Thank you and I would recommend Tibi to other pet owners.”
“Katie was very conscientious and took great care of my cat, enjoying playing with him, and my home. She is very friendly and capable with lots of experience with dogs and cats. Everything was in great shape when we returned home.”
“Ayana took great care of our cat who required daily medication injections. She is very reliable, asks relevant questions and had our cat’s seal of approval... (an affectionate head butt).”
“Micky was great at communicating while I was away and took great care of Lulu when she was stressed or anxious. Even bathed her when she ended up peeing on herself! Will be rebooking for boarding if traveling again :)”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Canton
Jill did a great job taking care of our kitties while we attended our wedding! She gave us the peace of mind we needed. She followed instructions and made sure our cat got his medicine. We felt comfortable with her in our home and will happily trust her again with our cats in the future. Thanks so much!!
Boning took wonderful care of our 4 kitties, including 3 older kitties. All of our cats warmed up to her right away, which is rare for our shy crew. She handled med administration with ease and had excellent communication skills, letting us know exactly what had happened during each visit. We would be very happy to have her take care of our kitties again!

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.

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.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
