“Jordan was communicative and sent pictures daily. She even sat with our more timid cat to encourage her to finish her food. We’d recommend her for cat related drop-ins!”
“Zilalai once again did a fantastic job house/pet sitting my two cats for a week. I appreciate that she is reliable, follows the kitties’ usual routine, handles an occasional plumbing or a/c maintenance appointment, and leaves the house very tidy. Thank you, Zilalai!”
“Ashley was fantastic! She was so good to my cat (Groschen), and made sure he was well fed and had fresh water, and played with him every visit. Ashley sent extra pictures of her visit- it was obvious that Groschen loved Ashley. If my boy is happy, I’m happy! She also watered the plants and took care of the mail. I highly recommend Ashley to watch your pets! ?”
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.
“Hafeezat is always such a pleasure. She keeps me posted and her great pics of my Edgar always bring a smile to my face. She is always prompt and communicative. Highly recommend!”
“Sydney was so great! She fit us in to a busy holiday weekend last minute and was very communicative about our two cats--she even cleaned up some vomit (yuck!) and tracked our nervous cats to their hiding places to get pictures for us. Would def recommend!”
About: Hi! My name is Abby and I’m so excited to meet your pets. I grew up with big dogs (German Shepherds, Pitbulls), as well as quite a few cats, including ones with medical needs. My sister and I currently have 3 cats, but I still LOVE dogs and always go hang out with my parents dogs when I can. I have experience overnight sitting dogs, and drop ins for cats and am excited for even more experience! I am working full time, but am happy to check in before work and definitely for a while after work. I can also check in during the weekend. In my home, I have three cats but am happy to separate if needed. My cats love to play and sleep! In others houses, I pay close attention to routines, and i want to make sure that your animal feels as though their routine is not disrupted. And that they feel loved and taken care of!
“Quinn was great with Morris and made me feel totally comfortable leaving him in his care. They were on time and sent updates and pictures. Morris seemed totally relaxed when I got home. I’d definitely recommend Quinn and would happily have him watch Morris again!”
“This was Eveline's first time staying with my two cats in my house, and I was leaving at 4am for a flight across the country. Eveline texted me as soon as she got here with pictures of the cats, and she continued to send daily pictures. The cats loved her, and she even took Apollo for a walk on his leash! She left my house in perfect condition. It was a worry-free pleasure to have her stay with my cats, and I will continue to use her whenever I go away.”
About: I have worked as a veterinary assistant for the past three years, gaining experience working with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. As a college student, I find myself missing my two dogs every day and I want to help owners with their pet needs, all while getting my animal fix. I understand how hard it can be for owners to be away from their pets and to trust new people with them. So, my goal is to put both you and your pets at ease in what can seem like a stressful time, and give them plenty of love while you’re gone! I’m a college student with time in my schedule most days to walk or visit with your pets. On weekends I can spend all day caring for your pets! When caring for pets in your home I follow all owner instructions exactly regarding feeding, activities, training, and interaction with other animals. I pay particular attention to any changes in behavior, appetite, or physical activity.
“Natasha's great! Good communication, always on time, easy to work with. My cat was under the weather the day I had to travel and Natasha took good care of her and kept me updated until I could get back home. Thanks so much!”
“Claire was a great cat sitter! She was patient and caring with our very shy cats. She was also communicative and diligent about taking care of our home. She even offered to water our plants! We will definitely be booking her again soon.”
“It was pleasure to have Traci stay at my home! She made me feel really comfortable and followed all the Instructions given. She even looked after my Bonsai trees.”
“The best cat sitter ever! My Maine Coons love JB as she gives them so much attention. She also stays in close contact with me with photos and chats so I can relax and enjoy my vacations knowing they are in good hands.”
“Alexa was incredible. She was very consistent with her sitting times and always took great care of our boys, she sent lots of pictures as well which is always appreciated. She did a great job with cleaning up any messes and giving the boys lots of attention. Would highly recommend to anyone”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats big little and everything in between! I love going on walks, playing catch, and giving lots of pets and love. I have experience giving medications, and dealing with elderly pets as well as the little kitties and puppies! I currently work as an Afterschool teacher and PCA, and am busy 11-6 on weekdays for the school year. However, my mornings and late evenings are open. I am also free weekends! I am able to stay with your animals while you are away, or check in on them for walks or play time during the day. Whatever you need!
About: I am experience with caring for several types of dogs and cats in size and breed. I have cared for multiple dogs at the same time and meeting their needs at any age. My greatest strength is my patience and my willingness to communicate with your pets to ensure a working relationship that is based on love and care. I work remotely at home, and I am happy to take breaks to care for pets in between my work. I am flexible with early morning walks to late evening strolls. I love walking through parks and working at pet friendly cafes. I am transparent with my work. Working at clients home is something I understand that must be rooted in trust and care. I respect people's property and schedule to the best of my ability. I am actively aware of the need for communication, and I place that trait above all.
“Once again, Megan has taken fantastic care of our boy. He has even purred for her. He only does that for us, and it took us months to get there with him. We are so happy we found someone that takes such good care of him and who he seems to like.”

Alyssa is the best (as always) and she’s the perfect sitter for your pet! She’s caring and communicative and my cat has really fallen in love with her. She also taught my cat a trick while I was gone (!!!) so I came back to a cat who knows how to sit. I’ll 100% be rebooking Alyssa again!
Miranda was wonderful: responsive, reliable, and conscientious. She took a last minute booking to care for my 13-year-old diabetic cat Carl when I unexpectedly had to leave town for a couple days. She handled food, water, and meds, making sure to deliver the meds right on time within Carl’s strict schedule. He’s not the friendliest cat but she still made sure to check in on him and make sure he was happy. It’s clear Miranda loves animals and I would absolutely book with her again.
Madalyn took great care of our asthmatic cat who needs twice a day inhaler. She is a great communicator and provided excellent updates on each check in, including on our other cats. Certainly the best sitter we have had on Rover thus far. Highly recommend Madalyn for your pets.
We are SO very grateful we met Christina! She's an outstanding cat sitter, and we greatly appreciated the detailed photos/Rover card!! It was our first time on Rover, and really loved how easy it was to communicate. Christina was a super communicator! We have a special needs older cat, Izzy (14+, fussy eater, just started hyperthyroid meds, was losing weight, plus some other elder cat issues). It was the first time we went away overnight since Izzy's new diagnosis and I admit, I was nervous about leaving her. Christina completely put me at ease and was SO great with Izzy! She even offered some really helpful insights about an elevated food bowl (to help with Izzy's appetite, arthritis, fussy eating). Christina took so much time and such care with Izzy. Thank you so much!
Lindsey took wonderful care of my soul kitty while I was away for 4 days. She sent pictures showing the progression of my babe warming up to her & even letting her hold & snuggle! My kitty does not warm up to everyone so it was very nice to know how safe & comforted she was the whole time I was away! Thank you again!
Sasha was very communicative with me about her schedule, the drop ins, and how my cats were doing. She gave me detailed updates and really made being away from my cats for the first time much easier because I knew they were in good hands. One of my cats is not a lap cat at all, and she even sat with Sasha on the last day of drop ins, which goes to show how great Sasha was with them!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Chestnut Hill is $23 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 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.
As of November 2026, there are 1,635 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 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.

- 82% 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 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.
