“Showed our cats lots of love! Was very thorough following our care notes and provided detailed notes afterwards! Absolutely would request their services again”

About: I grew up with animals. Dogs and cats specifically have always been apart of my life. I am able to keep up with with the youngest peppy puppy or slow down to meet the pace of a senior dog. I am not fazed by much and happy to provide the same love and care that you would give to your animal. I am a freelancer with a very flexible schedule. I have the ability to work with you on potential last minute needs and care for your pets. I am very comfortable caring for animals weather it be a quick check at the home ot in an more outdoor adventure. My goal is to give your animal the care they care they need in the environment that works best for you and them.
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.
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life! I am lucky to have cared for pets across their entire lives, from puppy/kitten to lovely senior pets. I am currently volunteering at a cat shelter in Boston and would love to bring that experience to your pets. I love pets of all shapes and sizes, but I absolutely adore caring for big dogs and shy cats. I volunteer at a cat shelter in Boston three days a week, but I am otherwise free all throughout weekdays to look after your pets! I am happy to do morning or midday visits to take special care of your pets. I think it is incredibly important that caring for pets does not disrupt their regular habits or schedule! It's so important to gain the trust of people's pets in order to properly care for them, and so I will do everything I can to make sure that your pets feel safe and comfortable while I make sure their needs are met.
“Grace is awesome! She is very communicative and happily worked with my random schedule. I couldn’t be happier. And my dog loves Grace as well. He is all about people but he knows his favorites and Grace is one of them. She is great to work with!”
“Wonderful sitter! Took the time to update us throughout our stay and had excellent communication. Also very kind and kept the space nice and tidy! One of our sticky decorations from our window fell down (it was a fall waiting to happen!) and she very kindly popped it back up for us! Also folded our blankets neatly on the sofa whenever she sat down to try to provide calm encouragement for our very shy cat to come out! Would highly recommend and would happily book again for future trips.”
“Paige provided excellent care to my kitty for the two weeks I was out of the country. She sent lots of photo and video updates and it was clear she really cared about my cat. My cat seemed to take to her immediately as well. Highly recommend her as a sitter!”
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!
“Lindsay took such good care of our cat during a tough time for him when he was on medication and grieving his brother cat. She clearly loves animals and easily took in and followed his feeding and medication schedule. She was an excellent communicator. I would definitely ask her to sit for him again!”
“Pricilla was very accommodating to my last minute request and did a great job of checking in on my cat while we were out of town for a few days. I'm actually going to contact her again right now about future travel plans!”
“Alissa was great!! She took care of my cat Nino when I was gone and even though it was my first trip leaving Nino alone, I was so reassured with her on-time check ins and updates she sent! I would highly recommend her 😊”
“This is our second time booking with Camilla, and as before, she was wonderful with our cats! We very much appreciated the detailed visit reports and the photos. It's such a relief to not worry at all about our furry family members when we're away from home. 😻”
“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.”
“J spent time learning about each cat before staying overnight with them. In addition to our very social cat Squeaky, she connected with our shy cats on her first visit. J also gave our senior cat Marmalade two medications. I highly recommend for overnight pet care.”
“Marina was terrific and truly went above and beyond. She took wonderful care of our older cat. We really appreciate the extra patience, thoughtfulness, and care she showed. Highly recommend!”
“Rachel took great care of my cats and even won over the one that usually hides from sitters! She was very responsive to messages and communicated about changes in eating and litter box activity for my cat who was recovering from a kidney infection.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Chestnut Hill
Hannah is excellent with my black cat, Juniper! She engages with Junie at the level she needs, shifting her play and attention based on my cat’s mood. She always checks food, water and litter and takes good photos with a detailed report. I will be using her again!
Great first time using Rover with Alyssa! Our meet and greet was very comforting and she helped me understand the app better during that time before booking with her. During the visits, she left detailed reports and got cute photos of my cat. I definitely would recommend Alyssa for any of your pet needs!
Kate was great! She was available to watch our senior kitty last minute when our prior plans fell through. She was incredibly responsive, sent great daily updates, and was a cat expert! Our kitty warmed up to her quickly and appreciated the love and attention from Kate while we were away.
Words cannot express how thankful we are of Helena! We needed a last minute sitter for our cats and she came through last second!! Our 2 boys immediately loved her during our meet and greet, she paid attention to detail and went above and beyond our expectations! We love the extra attention she gave our boy Julius, making sure he ate since he is shy and our other cat loves to steal his food. We loved the fun details she left after every visit and put us at ease!! We HIGHLY recommend Helena! We definitely plan to use her again!!!

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.

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 .
