“Having someone experienced with giving cats inhalers was the most important thing, and Liz handled it perfectly. This was by far the easiest time leaving the cats alone for me: I trusted Liz completely. Super caring and devoted to making sure our cats had the best time.”
About: Hi there, call me Ren! I understand how hard it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I go out of my way to make sure that you have live updates in the form of photos and texts to relieve that anxiety. Having your pet feel comfortable and having their needs met is the bare minimum. My motto is that it's the details that matter, so every single ask that you have is very important to me. I make sure to adhere to their feeding and walking schedules, provide enrichment, and, most importantly, cuddles. Your fur baby is a member of your family and deserves to be treated as such with respect to their boundaries, habits, and comfort. I am a full-time artist, so I have a very flexible schedule. Please contact me if you are interested! I am a full-time artist, which allows me the flexibility to seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Whether it's taking breaks for playtime, ensuring regular feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship throughout the day, I prioritize the well-being of your pets. With the advantage of being present at home, I can offer consistent attention and care, making sure your furry family feels loved and attended to at all times. Depending on the service provided, I offer tailored services at my client's residence. When caring for pets in my home, I create a comfortable and safe environment where they can feel at ease. This includes designated play times with enrichment and mental stimulation, and adherence to their regular feeding and exercise routines. I will make sure to pay attention to even the smallest details you have for your pet because they deserve to be treated like family.
“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.”
“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! :)”
“Cat was perfect! She administered my cats pill pockets timely and sent updates each time which I loved. She also stayed to play with both of my cats each time and sent lots of pictures and updates. Thank you so much cat! I will absolutely be booking with cat again.”
About: I've grown up around animals. My family was always the "go to" family in the neighborhood to watch dogs and cats, so I've had experience since I was little taking care of pets. I recently did my senior capstone with my local Humane Society where I cared for cats while creating content on both cats and dogs available for adoption! I'm a graduate student at Suffolk University, so I will be able to care for your lovely companion during the day (before my night classes), typically the busiest times of peoples' days. This unique time frame allows for owners to not worry about their pet being left alone midday before they get home. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and own a cat at my home back in PA. I will go off of the owners' requests and what serves the animal best. If the dog is energetic, we will play! If the cat is more of a snuggle bug, we will snuggle until the cows come home.
About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attentiveness, and genuine care I bring to every pet. With 20 years of hands on experience, I understand that animals have individual personalities, routines, and comfort levels. I take time to earn their trust, notice the little things, and make them feel safe while their family is away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide plenty of love and attention, and send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is being treated like family. My flexible schedule allows me to make pet care a natural part of my daily routine. I’m available throughout the week and can dedicate plenty of time to walks, feeding, playtime, check ins, and companionship. I’ll work with you to follow the schedule your pet already knows and feels comfortable with. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, walking routines, house rules, and special care requests. I keep doors and leashes secure, pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, and make sure their environment stays clean and comfortable. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Sabrina took great care of our old lady cat and gave her so many Christmas cuddles. We appreciated the detailed reports from each visit and knew that our cat was in great hands. Sabrina was very friendly and responsible and we'd love to have her watch Ms. Kitty again in the future. :)”
“Kyle took care of our 2 yo cat while we were abroad and not only did an excellent job but was also exceptionally communicative. We have worked with Kyle multiple times now and highly recommend!”
“Anastasia did a great job looking after my cat (Katara) while I was on vacation for a few days. We booked within a couple weeks of the trip and she was able to accommodate. She was very communicative and did everything we needed to make sure my cat was taken care of and happy. She checked up on Katara more than once a day when she could. She sent lots of photos and videos and Katara looked really happy and I was really assured during my trip. I would definitely recommend Anastasia.”
“Jennifer was fantastic! I had only ever left my cat, Rajah, with close friends or family so I was so so nervous to hire someone. Jennifer put my mind at ease immediately. She was so communicative and kept me updated several times/day with his behavior, meals, sleep habits, and litter box cleanings. I know Rajah had a great time! She gave him a ton of attention, which is exactly what he needs. Jennifer left the apartment in great shape when she left, so it made my life so easy and stress free when I came home from a busy work trip. I would absolutely love to have her back to watch Raj again!”
About: grew up surrounded by pets, so caring for them comes naturally. My experience looking after children makes me patient, responsible, and loving — the same way I care for every dog or cat, as if they were part of my own family. I am available for pet care from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, as I work with children in the afternoons. During this time, I can provide feeding, playtime, walks, medication administration, and lots of attention to ensure pets feel safe and happy. I’m flexible with occasional early mornings or later pickups if needed I ensure pets feel safe and comfortable whether in my home or theirs. I create a calm and clean environment, provide fresh food and water, and supervise them at all times. I follow any specific instructions from the owner, including medication or special care, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection.
About: I have owned animals my whole life (cats, dogs, chickens, turtles, toads, literally you name it)! I currently have a 6 month old, spayed, rescue pup. She loves other animals and people and would make an excellent friend to your furry companions! I work fully remote part time, so I have plenty of time to care for my pup and any other animals under my care! Starting again in the fall I will begin my third year of law school, but most of my classes are online. I live in a cozy home in Everett. It has a medium sized backyard that is fenced in, perfect for your pet to run around in safely!
“Mindy was great with our cat. Very friendly and provided regular updates and photos. Our cat enjoyed our time with her. Good location too, in Downton Boston. Thank you.”
“Morgan spent some good quality time with Binx while I was home for the holidays! She also applied topical cream to the ear on each visit, and made sure to give updates on his mood and behavior instead of just going through the motions of his food, litter, etc.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Chelsea
Could not speak more highly of Jenin!! She is incredibly thoughtful, empathetic, trustworthy and knowledgeable. Her notes were fun to read but also provided the essential information to know that my cat was safe, healthy and happy. Lots of photos were appreciated! Would definitely recommend Jenin 10x over!
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.
I absolutely could not recommend Emma more!! She was so wonderful with our both of our cats, and took the time to get to know their different personalities and treat/play preferences (and even patiently played fetch with our youngest cat over and over and over!). She was able to handle any issues that arose (e.g. litter robot errors) during our trip without trouble. And she always wrote the BEST check-in updates and took photos of our cats that are genuinely worth framing. We will 100% not hesitate to book with her again!

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.

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 .
