“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.”
“Annaliese was so great with my cat Sugar over the Christmas holiday. Her updates were timely and my cat was well cared for. I would not hesitate to have her pet sit again!”
“Chassity was an amazing sitter for both of my cats! I can tell she has great experience with animals and is very loving to them. We felt very comfortable leaving our boys with her and have already booked her again”
“Tracy is a great per sitter! She is always very attentive and mindful when taking care of our senior cat, Tigger, who is almost 19 years old. She does a great job with him and he really enjoys playing with her. I highly recommend Tracy as a pet sitter, especially for anyone who has a senior animal! :)”
About: I grew up on a farm raising, in part, foster puppies and dogs who required special attention to maintaining both their own safety and the safety of other animals and children in the home. When I’m not working as a part-time psychotherapist, I use Rover to explore my passion of taking care of animals. I’m available on Fridays during the day for visits. Because I grew up on a farm with young children, chicks/chickens, horses, kittens/cats, birds, etc., the safety of everybody involved was of utmost importance. Taking care of beloved pets requires more than a loving touch and attentiveness, it entails consistent attention to safety, trust, and security.
“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!”
“Yiqi was amazing! She was super communicative while we were away and eased all our anxiety leaving our kitties behind. She send fabulous photos and followed all instructions. Will definitely be rebooking with her.”
“Rachel was the perfect sitter for our 2 cats! She stopped by everyday to feed them and clean litter boxes. She took time to give them treats and play each visit. The daily notes and photos gave me peace of mind that the cats were doing ok while we were gone.”
“Lena was so amazing in helping me with my foster kittens while I was away for over a week! I needed someone to come to my house twice a day to feed, play, and care for them. Lena was so kind, kept me updated, sent tons of pictures, and even made a special trip to the pet store when they were running low on one of their special foods. If you need someone you can trust and loves pets, look no further! Thank you Lena!”
“Cierra was incredible. My cat has some gut issues and had some small accidents while I was away! Cierra was very communicative and helpful I would definitely recommend her”
About: I have had an English Springer Spaniel growing up that I love to take on hikes, swimming at the lake, camping, and on lots of walks. I have trained my dog to do a handful of tricks! I have experience dog and cat sitting for extended period of time as well as older dogs who require extra care and medication. I am a working professional that works full time in Chestnut Hill, MA; I love to take care of dogs on my days off and take them for walks before and/or after work. I live in East Boston and work in Chestnut Hill and I’m looking for pet care opportunities in the greater Boston area! I grew up taking care of dogs and cats, both my own and friend’ pets. I a comfortable with feeding, walking, providing any medications to your pets. I am willing to do walks and longer overnight sitting when needed and available.
“Ana was absolutely wonderful with my cat while we were away! She took such great care of him and made us feel completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. She was attentive, reliable, and so sweet with him, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure he was comfortable and happy. Being away from Meelo for so long can always make me a little nervous, but having Ana check in on him gave me so much peace of mind throughout our trip. We’re so grateful for her and would absolutely trust and book Ana again in the future. you so much for taking such good care of our kitty! 🤍”
“Dennis was wonderful! He was attentive to my cat, Maho, and communicative with me, too, because when you go away and put your animal in somebody else’s care, you definitely want to know they are taken care of. My cat really liked him. I would definitely hire Dennis again. Dennis did an excellent job. He has a warm personality, too. Don’t be dissuaded by his profile picture (which I suggested he change) because it’s not doing him justice. He’s a good guy.”
“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!”
About: Since my PhD, I've found furry friends to be some of the best companions for different life moments, both the ups and downs. I’m naturally patient with animals and observant of their behaviors. Especially how they react to different cues so I can best connect them. I work very close from home with flexible schedule. Just let me know 3 hours ahead for a dog walk and 3 days ahead for short pet visit/ pet sitting. Before any pet walking/sitting/ short visit, I would like to visit first (with some treats) to get to know the pets. Only when I know they are comfortable with my presence can I take on the job. I would love any details about your pet so I can give them more tailored attention and care while you’re away.
“Can definitely recommend Diana for cat sitting! She was patient, gentle, and attentive with my cat, and took the time to let her warm up at her own pace. I felt very comfortable knowing my cat was in good hands while I was away. Would happily book with her again!”
“Olha was so sweet! she was proactive and thorough with her updates. She stayed at my home and took great care of the house. I have a cat with health needs and felt completely at ease with her giving him the insulin injections, checking his blood sugar and giving him his inhaler. Will book again!”

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!!
Rebecca is wonderful! She is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I always feel completely comfortable knowing my cat is in her care. She takes the time to give her attention and affection, and I really appreciate the updates and photos while I’m away. I would absolutely recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Aurora is a kind person, great communicator, and dilligent petsitter. She takes excellent care of my cat. She follows care instructions carefully and sends status updates and pictures of her visits. She's made a big effort right from the beginning to befriend my shy cat and make him feel comfortable. I would absolutely recommend hiring Aurora.
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.
My cat is extremely shy with strangers. With previous sitters, he'd hide the entire visit and they'd barely catch a glimpse of him. With Naomi, it's a completely different story — he genuinely adores her. She's patient, gentle, and lets him come to her on his own terms, and he clearly feels safe with her. For anyone with a timid or anxious cat, I can't recommend Naomi enough.
Sarah is my go-to sitter for my spicy old lady cat. She’s so good with her and is so communicative and flexible. For this visit, I needed her to give my cat some last minute meds and she handed it with no problems, checking in with me after each visit so I could decide whether more meds were needed. Can’t recommend Sarah enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Chelsea is $30 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $50 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.

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.
