“Emily is fantastic! She is so personable and a great communicator, taking lots of photos and updates for us of our cats. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Szu cared for my cats twice a day for four days with drop in visits, and was timely and communicative. She included pictures and detailed updates of the cats and took care of their feeding and cleaning schedules.”

“Emily was the perfect cat sitter! She responded very quickly to all of my messages and maintained great communication throughout the entire time I was gone. I would definitely book with Emily again.”


“Denise took care of my cat Néko right at home while I was away, and she was absolutely wonderful! 🐈⬛❤️ I loved getting regular updates and adorable photo check-ins! It gave me total peace of mind the entire time! Coming home to a happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for kitty meant everything. 🏠✨ Thank you so much, Denise, for your kindness and amazing care! I will definitely be booking with her again in a heartbeat! 🙌🎉”


“My usually very shy boy cat really enjoyed his time w Gabrielle. She sent pics & updates from each visit. If I have need for a sitter again & she's available, I'll definitely reach out.”

“We could not have asked more from Sloane. She was great throughout the whole process! I really enjoyed how thoughtful, caring, and attentive she was with our kittens. She also kept us updated sporadically during the days we were gone. Thank you for taking such good care of our cats!”


“We could not have put our two cats in better care! Chasstity completely put our worries at ease! She kept us posted with constant updates and let us know if anything was off as both our cats were in the midst of a little world tour! I hope to reach out to Chasstity for pet care needs anytime I’m in Boston again and cannot reccomend her services enough !”

“Macy did an amazing job watching my cat Ivy! Very attentive, followed instructions clearly, and went above and beyond when asked to do extra! I highly recommend her services and I will definitely be re-booking with her in the future :)”

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: I have lived with pets my whole life! From fish to hamsters to rabbits to my two extremely high-energy Brittany Spaniels at my family’s home, I’ve always had pets around and enjoyed taking an active role in their care. I was also the primary trainer and caregiver for my family’s current dogs when they were puppies. I am currently a masters student at Northeastern University living in a space with no animals for the first time in a very long time, and looking for work opportunities in the city as I get adjusted. I have looked after households of up to seven pets before. I’m super excited to get to know pets in the area and help provide for them when needed! I am currently a student at Northeastern University, and I have class all day on Tuesdays, however the rest of my week, save for Thursday and Friday mornings, are available to take care of your pets! I am unable to offer boarding in my home at the moment due to both lease policy and roommate allergies, however I am more than happy to learn your house rules, typical walking routes, and your pets’ daily routines to be able to provide them the best, least disruptive care. I like to meet you and your pet prior to care to learn things like daily routine, temperament, and any additional care needs such as medicine or grooming.

About: I have experience caring for dogs through both my family and my workplace. My parents have a Maltese, and I regularly enjoy taking him on walks, playing with him, and giving him treats. At my workplace, we have a Teddy Bear dog named Lola. I sometimes take her outside for potty breaks and walks, give her lots of pets and attention, and reward her with a dental chew after our walks. I also enjoy teaching simple commands such as “sit” and “shake,” and I’m attentive to dogs’ body language and cues so I can better understand when they want to play, need some space, or simply want some affection. I really enjoy spending time with dogs and would be happy to give your pet the same patience, care, and attention I give to the dogs in my life. I work a full-time 9–5 job with a consistent schedule, so I’m available for home visits in the mornings and evenings. On weekends, I can make multiple visits throughout the day. For the right pet, I’m also open to long-term boarding arrangements. I’m happy to help with scheduled meals, fresh water, dog walks, brushing, playtime, and plenty of company. If your pet needs extra care, I can also help with medication and, when needed, take them to the vet. My husband and I live in a clean and cozy 1-bedroom apartment. I like to make the apartment clean, so the space is always tidy and well maintained, making it a comfortable environment for pets to stay. There’s also a dog park right downstairs, so your pup can easily get some outdoor time and play. I’m also happy to do drop-in visits for cats and keep them company in the comfort of their own home.
“Anna was a fantastic pet-sitter and I'm so glad I chose her to care for my cat Betty. Anna was excellent! She was responsive, communicative in booking, came over for a intro visit, and followed all the care instructions. She sent thorough updates on each visit, sent pictures, and really bonded with my (grumpy) cat. I loved her updates on my cat's behavior, bowel movements, and eating/drinking habits. I felt incredibly comfortable knowing I had her as a pet sitter, which is something all pet owners seek. I definitely recommend Anna for cat drop-in visits and intend to book her for future travel. Thank you Anna!”

“Yetis is just great ! He took incredibly good care of our 2 cats and communicated clearly. I would recommend him to anyone and would definitely call on him again in the future.”

Hang was extremely communicative when coming over to take care of Elliot. Very polite, kind, and made me feel comfortable she was checking in on him. I appreciated her looking out for him, keeping him company and giving his favorite treats. Can't thank her enough! Elliot was so happy and content when I got home 🐱

Chassity took amazing care of our two cats while we were on vacation. She was great with both cats, followed our instructions to a t, and kept us consistently updated with photos and the rover card for every visit. It allowed us to enjoy our vacation more knowing that Louie and Vuitton were well taken care of.

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.

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 .
