Zilalai was a great sitter for our cat Moogle! She was prompt in her visits and sent photos/notes every day. She was also happy to arrange and meet and greet beforehand to let us and our cat get comfortable with her first. We came home after a week to a happy and healthy cat. Thanks Zilalai!

Julie was wonderful with my pets! I have two blind cats, who are still being introduced to each other, so it's not a simple visit, and I couldn't be more pleased with Julie's care. She was proactive about asking questions regarding their care that I hadn't specified in my instructions and really went the extra mile to help out. I highly recommend!

This is the first time we are using the daily visit service with Freddie, and Maegan was wonderful! She was very gentle and understanding of his shyness and the time it takes him to open up to new people, and during her daily visits she patiently spent the time needed to get his trust, and in a few days Freddie opened up to her and showed her his usual cuddly and playful personality ☺️ We also got elaborate daily notes and lot of pictures during Maegan’s time with Freddie. I highly recommend Maegan!

About: I am a recent college grad spending some time on my own, but greatly missing my pets! I have experience with all kinds of animals including medically complex pets, seniors, puppies, doodles and other hairy friends, and more! I am a part time intern working about 20 hours per week looking for some friends to fill my downtime. I can look after your animals any time of day with this flexibility. Good for weekdays and weekends! I follow a strict schedule with animals. Feeding routines, walks, treats, and training are all scheduled and followed to a T in my household. This makes it easy for me to apply these in other households.

About: I grew up with cats, so I understand their needs. I have experience with all age levels - kittens to senior cats. Leaving your furry family members can be a stressful experience, but my goal is to make the experience as seamless as possible for both you and them! I also have a ton of experience walking and caring for dogs - from corgis to husky’s. During the week, I can visit pets in the evening after work. My weekends are flexible - so I can provide pet care whenever needed. Since I grew up with cats, I know what to look for in the home to ensure they're safe and happy while their family is away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 14, starting by watching my neighbors’ pets when they went on vacation. Since then, I’ve had the chance to care for many other dogs in my neighborhood, as well as the dogs of my professors at UMass. I also have experience using clicker training. I’ve always dreamed of having dogs of my own, but frequent moves over the years have made that tough. From going to college and then moving to Boston. Getting to spend time caring for your dogs would truly mean a lot to me and would let me enjoy some quality time with furry friends while making sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, so I can make myself available most times during any day of the week. I don’t have any vacations planned and am available for the foreseeable future. I’m attentive, responsible, and committed to following your care instructions closely so your pets feel safe and comfortable at home. I always make sure all expectations are met and that your pets receive the care they deserve.

Marina took great care of my cat. He is young with a lot of energy and she spent the time to really play with him and learn what he likes during her AM and PM visits. Her daily notes are very detailed and I felt 100% comfortable with having her in charge for a week. I would highly recommend her.

Zhao is an incredible pet sitter for my two cats! I have now booked with her multiple times and I’m always impressed by how much she cares about ensuring they have a great time while I’m away. I don’t have to worry about anything as she documents all of her care for the cats including extensive playtime and I can tell that they look forward to her visits. I would highly recommend booking with her for any pet care needs.

Jordan is THE BEST cat sitter. In my experience, a lot of pet sitters are great for dogs but not for cats. Jordan very clearly plays with our cat, spends the time required to earn her trust, and is reliable to do that during the duration of the stay. We have a cat with anxiety. Every other pet sitter, she pukes and pees everywhere. That doesn't happen with Jordan. I know Jordan makes our pet feel safe through the simple fact that we don't have evidence of this anxiety behavior. I would strongly recommend Jordan as a pet sitter to anyone with cats, or dogs; she is exceptional, thoughtful, and communicative. An ideal pet sitter for anyone.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Chestnut Hill

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Chestnut Hill on Rover is $23.31 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 5,024 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Chestnut Hill. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Chestnut Hill. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

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 calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
