“Jordan took great care of my kitties once again on very short notice! I felt very at ease on my trip knowing that Dexy and Fio were in such good hands!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Sasha! She was incredibly loving, patient, and attentive with my two cats, who can both be a little shy at first. She took the time to get to know them and made sure they felt safe and comfortable. I appreciated the updates and photos she sent—they gave me such peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals, and I’m so grateful for the care she gave. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Aimee did an incredible job watching Tashi while I was out of town! Tashi tends towards being shy and very apprehensive towards visitors and was previously really nervous around a Rover pet sitter. Aimee was very attentive towards her needs but equally importantly, my cat trusted her enough to get on her lap, purr, play, and take treats from her hand. I’d been nervous she’d hide the entire time so seeing this made me feel much better about being out of town. I’d happily recommend Aimee to any friends or others looking for a great pet sitter and will book again if at all possible!”
“Winita was amazing! She was thorough, trustworthy, kind, flexible, and my cat Joni loved her. She sent the best pictures and videos every day and was a clear communicator. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Allison was absolutely wonderful with my two cats, Ozzy and Willis. She was prompt, documented excellent pictures and a summary of her visit, following exact instructions for care. I would absolutely hire her again and recommend her for your pet’s needs.”
“Julie did an excellent job caring for my kitty’s, she went above and beyond!! The place was clean, litter box well managed, lots of pics throughout, and very communicative!! Thanks julie!”
“Helena did a great job taking care of my cat, which included administering his asthma inhaler, making sure he was feeling well and had a good appetite, and mixing in medicine to his wet food. Her updates were super detailed and much appreciated, and I will definitely be looking to use her again in the future!”
“Adelle was fantastic with my shy kitty! She sent detailed updates about all aspects of how she was doing, and kept me updated with lots of photos. I never worried the whole 10 days I was away. Super grateful and will definitely book with Adelle again.”
“Sarah was very communicative and did a really nice job of looking after my senior cat, Frankie. She gave her lots of balcony time and treats, and kept me updated with pics and notes. Thank you, Sarah!”
“Nick was great with Alfie! She typically is very distrustful of new people, but took to him really quickly, approaching him when they met and, based on the pictures he sent during his visits, became comfortable quickly even when my husband and I were gone. Thanks, Nick!”
“Maegan provided excellent, thorough, thoughtful care to our two kitties. She gave detailed updates of every visit and made us feel like we were right there with our fur babies even from afar. Photos proved our cats were very trusting and comfortable with Maegan, a testament to Maegan's attention to detail when it comes to cat communication.”
About: I've have grown up surrounded by animals (2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 brothers!). I have experience in short and long term dog & cat sitting. My most interesting sitting experience was watching 5 cats at once (the more the merrier)! I also have experience taking care of small animals including hamsters and guinea pigs. With my family, I have helped to foster and find the forever homes for 2 dogs, 1 adult cat, and 2 kittens! I have experience and am comfortable working with shy and nervous animals. I am a student at Boston College living in Newton for the summer. I am currently taking classes and am a research intern which take up roughly 2-4 hours a day. I also work in downtown Boston on Monday's and Wednesday's between 9am-5pm. While I do not have a car, I am well versed in Boston public transportation. I am a very active person and would be happy to take your pups walking, running, and on hiking adventures! For services in my home: I currently live with 1 roommate and do not have any pets. I am comfortable with short-term boarding (no longer than 4 weeks) for dogs and cats. I have an unfenced backyard but have close access to a fenced in dog-park. My apartment is on the second floor - a concern for older dogs who might have trouble with stairs. For services in client homes: I am able to stay in client homes & I am clean and quiet! I am happy to complete cleaning services or other house-sitting tasks along with caring for your dogs, cats, or small animals. I am also comfortable visiting client homes periodically, including multiple times a day if needed.
“Katie was a greater communicator and completely reliable. She handled our cat’s different medications with confidence and even won over our hissy little guy!”
“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!”
About: Hi I'm Gaby! I’m a remote worker with full availability who would absolutely love to take care of your pet! I have a lifetime of hands on experience with pets, as I was raised in a multi dog household where I would regularly walk two dogs at a time. Growing up and being raised with dogs has allowed me to be an expert at managing leash manners and staying calm under pressure. I’m also highly comfortable with the high energy of puppies and the gentle requirements of senior dogs. I've also been a dog walker for many family friends growing up, and I make sure to prioritize safety, structure, and genuine affection and love for every pet I meet. I work remote with a very flexible schedule, so taking care of your pup is my favorite way to break up my day! I am available throughout the day for walks and drop ins. For stays and dog sitting, your dog will have constant companionship and care. I fully prioritize your pet’s safety and the security of your home above everything. I strictly follow your established routines to keep your pet comfortable and stress free and during walks I am hyper aware of the surroundings to make sure your pet is always safe and calm.
About: I absolutely love animals. I grew up with a cat before my family adopted a senior dog and got a puppy. I’m able to administer medication to pets, as we did that with our senior dog, but have also cared for our (no longer) puppy his entire life. I helped train him and helped him understand fetch, which he now loves. Additionally, I often cared for my grandma’s cat both when she couldn’t and just because I love her cat. I’m currently in grad school and intern a few days a week, however I am free for at least some period of time every day of the week! I’m available Monday and Friday evenings after 5pm, Tuesday and Thursday evenings after 6:30pm, Wednesdays all day until 5pm, and all day on both weekend days. In someone’s home, I’m always respectful of their limits with their pets. If at a friend’s, I always make sure to ask whether it’s okay if their pet can be on the couch, given a treat, etc.
“Hafeezat was such a wonderful sitter. She was super communicative and my cat Edgar seemed to warm up to her quickly. She provided prompt updates and pictures that was very much appreciated. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs!”
About: I grew up with goldendoodles. My first was a full sized, about 80 pounds. I’m used to handling big or small dogs. Now I am a cat dad for a senior cat (over 20 years old). I am seeking part time employment. I am available throughout the workday for walks, check-ins and anything else your pet might need. I am also available on weekends. I am able to provide services in your home. I cannot board without disturbing my own cat. I am gentle with animals and attentive to their needs. I am detailed oriented and happy to give your pet the special attention it needs.
About: Proud dog-owner for the past three years! Grew up in a house cosplaying as a petting zoo- cats, frogs, dogs, hamsters, you name it! Extremely flexible, willing to adapt, and excited to get to know your pets! Just a teacher trying to make enough money to have a career of not making enough money #fortheloveofthegame I currently teach full-time, so evenings and weekends provide the most availability. However, with summer around the corner, my availability will be expanding! After mid-May, I will have availability from 3:30 PM onwards. I currently live in an apartment in West Harlem with my 4-year old mutt. She warms up to most doggos, but an intro would be necessary! The apartment is near multiple parks, and I am located in a walkable area.
About: Howdy! My name is Natalie and any dog I've met I have loved like my own. Growing up I had my fluffy 90lb Labradoodle and two sweet guinea pigs. Aside from my own pup, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk and feed their dogs and care for their cats. I currently have a full time job where I have to go into the office Monday-Thursday but an available for walks and drop-in on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I live in a small apartment in Brighton MA across the street from a wonderful reservoir and less than a mile away from several parks! I am a very active person so would be a great host for an athletic or active dog! However, if your dog is less active, I can easily bring my activity level to where your dog is happy and comfortable. I allow pets on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Chestnut Hill
Emily was absolutely wonderful! She was able to help me out with a last minute request, and I really appreciated that she took the time to meet with me beforehand so we could make sure everything was a good fit before officially booking. She kept me updated throughout the visit and sent plenty of pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’m so thankful I found Emily, and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Helena took fantastic care of my cat Liuliu. She kept me posted on the feeding schedule, shared what she noticed about my cat and apartment, and asked extremely thoughtful questions. Liuliu had a hard time adjusting to staying with friends during my leave, but Helena's steady, gentle presence helped her settle right back in. It brought me great comfort to see how well Liuliu was doing with Helena around, and I loved all the pictures and videos she shared along the way.
Bryana is the best! I loved getting the Rover Cards and photos while I was away and seeing how happy Kira was with her new pal! It was also a relief knowing that Bryana was giving Kira her medicine (followed by a treat!) each day! Highly recommend Bryana and look forward to booking her again for my next trip!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Chestnut Hill on Rover is $22.89 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,061 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:

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.
