“Emily was great with Ivy and Darby. They both warmed up to her quickly and seemed content in the many excellent pictures that Emily sent each time she visited. Emily was very responsive and communicative, asking for clarification when needed, and giving them lots of loving care and attention.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing!! She took such amazing care of our home and cats, sent us the sweetest pictures and just went above and beyond. Anyone would be lucky to have Sarah as a pet sitter. Couldn’t be happier with the care we received or recommend her any more.”
“Erin was great. Our cats loved her and she was able to get them to come out and play which was great because our kitten can be a little shy sometimes. 100% having her back.”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover who has grown up around both cats and dogs. I promise to care for your fur baby as if they were my own. I am in between jobs at the moment so my schedule is wide open. As I pick up other part time work my schedule should maintain a lot of flexibility. Whenever I check in on a pet in their home I always take care to follow client’s directions and respect their space. I try to always leave things as I found them (or better in case I find a mess).
About: Hi! My name is Celine! (PLEASE NOTE: I will be re-locating to NYC effective 11/21. I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! I’m very active, so I love going on walks, playing, and making sure pets get lots of attention and exercise. I’ve dog sat many times over the years and enjoy every minute of it. I also take care of cats and do drop in visits for them! I currently am working hybrid (Tuesday-Wednesday) in office, but my partner works fully remote Monday-Friday (He also loves animals and has a dog of his own at home, so he would be able to take care of any dog/cat while I’m at work for a couple hours)! On the days where I work from home, I have time throughout the day to go on a walk, make lunch, etc. I will have plenty of time to take care of pets throughout the week/weekends. I care for pets by making sure they always have fresh water available and that they feel comfortable, safe, and happy in my care. During walks, I pay close attention to a dog’s body language and energy levels, and I adjust accordingly if they seem uncomfortable or overwhelmed. I also love keeping pets entertained and engaged throughout the day with playtime, enrichment activities, and even a little training—whether it’s for learning or just for fun!
“Fernanda provided exceptional service to my cat Bandit while I was away. I was so nervous to leave my (very!) needy kitty, but he was extremely well taken care of by Fernanda and her daughter. She went above and beyond with her care and was extremely communicative. I will continue to book her for future pet sitting, and I know Bandit will be thrilled to see them again!”
“Luke took SUCH GOOD care of my puppy! He asked me about any triggers for her and was so thoughtful! I am picky when it comes to my baby lol and he met us beforehand and I felt very comfortable having him take care of my girl. I seriously recommended!!!”
“Jessica was great and made us feel like our pet was well taken care of while we were away. She did an excellent job making sure our cat didn't want for anything during our absence and gave us peace of mind. Also sent lots of cute photos of them playing, which we appreciated.”
“Erin came through with short notice, going above and beyond for the visit dealing with a little door fiasco on my part which she diligently figured out. Provided a slew of adorable photos of my little lady that gave me peace of mind. Super appreciated!”
“I was away for a little over two weeks, and Lolo took wonderful care of my cat, Murphy. She sent me lots of pictures that clearly showed how happy and content he was, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Lolo also kept me informed about any shedding or minor issues like hairballs or throw-up, and regularly checked in about his overall health and wellness. Her communication and attentiveness were incredibly appreciated, especially during such a long trip. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Murphy.”
“Laurel was such an angel! She was so thoughtful and gave such detailed updates about that cats that I was so put at ease while I was away. She went above and beyond for our kitties and I'm so thankful I found her!”
“Alissa took great care of our cat while we were away! She was reliable, timely, and sent regular updates. He was very calm when we came home - it is clear she was very loving to him! Would for sure book again.”
About: While I am new to rover, I am definitely not new with pets! I’ve taken care of my dog at home since I was 11. he was a small Pomeranian with alopecia so I am familiar what it takes to take care of smaller dogs. I have always loved cats as well and have taken care of cats for families and friends and moving to Boston I recently adopted a cat of my own, which has been one of the greatest decisions I’ve made. I am active with dog walking and drop-ins! I am currently working full-time in research so I usually leave early and come back at around four. Other than my work hours, I am pretty flexible. I will take the time to build trust if needed and make sure their needs are met! Whether it’s playing with them at home or walking them around town I’ll make sure they get what they need.
“Vee was lovely to work with from start to finish. She took wonderful care of Louis and was so sweet and attentive with him, spending time playing with him and giving him lots of cuddles. It was clear he was comfortable and happy with her, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We’d happily have Vee care for him again and would definitely recommend her!”
About: I grew up with dogs, always lending a hand to my family and caring for neighborhood pets as well. We adopted a puppy when I was a teenager, and I aided with training her. I am a grad student which means I am busy, but have a very flexible schedule to stop by and walk or feed to hang out with a pup My home is free of any unsafe furniture and all of our food stays locked up, we really try to keep everything in a safe place.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Charlestown
Ashley was so great with my kitty! She was so kind and went above and beyond . She was very communicative and kept me in the loop with when she was planning on visiting each day. I felt very at ease during my time away , and came back to a happy and healthy kitty. Would 100% recommend!!
Ashley was fantastic with our two cats, Pepper and Alfie! She was incredibly dependable, always right on time, and great about keeping us in the loop while we were away. She also took some genuinely great photos of the cats — not just the usual quick check-in pictures! It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. We’d happily book with her again!
Katie is so amazing! Super communicative and sensitive to my cat’s sensitive preferences :) I was given so much peace of mind under their care. My kitty absolutely adores them and Katie went above and beyond to ensure his litter box was clean tidy and comfortable! I would highly recommend Katie if you’re looking for a sitter who is timely, communicative and attuned to cats care!
Elizabeth was wonderful with our aging girly. Our cat is older and needs some special attention and care when we’re out of town. Elizabeth was so helpful and went above and beyond for her. She gave detailed updates of her visits along with pictures. All of which gave us much peace of mind that our sweet girl was doing well in our absence.
Sulekha was wonderful with my two cats. She was meticulous in making sure that they were well cared for, that everything stayed clean and well organized. Her text updates, complete with pictures, were an added bonus and I knew that I had left the boys in good hands. I will certainly book her again!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Charlestown is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.

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.
