“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: I’ve watched after friends/neighbors pets (dogs, cats, fish). While I don’t have any pets in my current home, I was raised with both dogs and cats! I am currently on summer vacation, so I will have free time throughout the day or evening to care for your pet(s)! I am very flexible with timing, so I can work around your schedule. My focus will be on building trust with your pet and helping them feel safe while you are away. I am very patient and will focus on what the pet needs in the moment to help them feel more comfortable.
“This was my first time using Rover and Julie made it a success! I highly recommend. Julie went above and beyond and met all of my pet care needs. I definitely will be rebooking in the near future with Julie.”
“Anna did a great job at caring for my cat. She followed all the instructions I gave her, gave me daily updates, and my cat warmed up to her super quickly. I would definitely book with her again the next time I have to go 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.
About: Growing up with a energetic yet stubborn German Shorthaired Pointer, raising my own crazy orange cat Shrimp, regularly babysitting my nephew along with his Aruban Cunucu sister, and caring for friends' and family's pets while their owners were away, I've gained a lot of great experience with many different breeds, ages, and sizes of pets, and I've loved them all! I live in Brighton and work in Special Education with students in K-8 during the school year, so I've got plenty of time this Summer to help care for your dogs and cats! I'd love to take your dog for a walk or a jog around your neighborhood or local park or reservoir, visit your kitty or pup for some playtime or a meal, or watch your precious pets while you're away! With me, your four-legged friends will be in great hands! My schedule for pet care is very open and flexible for the Summer - I'm available mornings, afternoons and evenings, on both weekdays and weekends! I will always provide the same attention, and concern while caring for your pets that I give to my own. I will follow any instructions and be conscious of details you provide, treat your home with the utmost respect, and send frequent photo updates.
“Jana was great with my two dogs! Sent lots of photos and info on how the visit went and she above all made sure that both dogs had a safe visit. I will definitely be using her again.”
“We have been working with Maegan for over a year with 10+ visits ( short or long) for our three cats. With experience, I can guarantee that you cannot go wrong with Maegan. Highly highly recommend”
“Adelle provided great care for our cat Violet again. Helpful communication and appreciated updates. We would not hesitate to book pet care with Adelle. Thank you!”
“Sydney was wonderful to work with. The cats took to her easily, she communicated well and accomplished everything we needed from her. Because of her care we were able to fully enjoy our trip. Thanks again!”
“Jose is wonderful as always! Came home to happy cats full of love and treats! Jose is communicative, caring and always sends amazing updates with pictures 💗”
“Sophia is EXCELLENT in all respects. She is very conscientious and amazing with dogs. She went above and beyond for us, addressing challenging issues in real time and responding flexibly when situations and needs changed. We are so grateful to have her caring for our dog!”
“Gabriel was wonderful with my pups! He was very communicative and flexible with my whacky schedule, and he took the time to come over in advance to meet them first and introduce himself so they wouldn’t be meeting a strange for the first time during their drop in. I can’t recommend him highly enough!”
“Sarah was excellent! She was very prompt and thorough in all of her communication leading up to and during the drop-in visit. She took great care of our dog. I highly recommend Sarah!”
“Sarah is amazing! We've booked her twice and both times have come home to a happy and healthy kitty. Our cat absolutely loves her, and we feel so secure knowing she is taking care of him while we are away.”
“Sabina was wonderful! She helped us in a pinch, was responsive, and took great care of our puppy. She sent pics and let us know how it went. Would DEFINITELY recommend!! Thank you!!”

Once again, Jordan goes above and beyond to take care of our cat Limmy - who is unfortunately dealing with ringworm. She jumps right in and reassures us that he's doing great, and was kind enough to give him medication. We're lucky to have Jordan return and take care of Limmy and feel so much better leaving our cat alone knowing we can rely on her. She has a great way about cats and Limmy feels so comfortable with her!
Most reliable, genuinely caring and competent cat sitter I have worked with in years! Can’t even imagine what I would do if we had to move and Leo was not around to look after my kitty when I am away. I have already written several reviews for Leo, but wanted to add another shoutout!
Kira was an amazing cat sitter. While taking care of my cats for a week, she provided detailed updates and multiple pictures each visit. She also left everything clean and tidy. She is a very sweet, dependable, caring person who I highly recommend! Thank you for everything Kira!!
Jose provided incredible, consistent care for our sweet senior cat. He checked in on her daily for 3 weeks while we were away, paid extra attention to her cleanliness and nourishment, and provided reassuring updates and photos. We couldn’t be more grateful! Will book him again anytime :)
As always, we were more than satisfied with Maegan's care of our two moody cats. Our cats are slow to warm to strangers but they always are at ease and acting like themselves with Maegan's attentive approach. Reading her visit updates are a cherished part of our vacation time!

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

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.
