“Stefani came by to feed and take care of our cats, and spent some time keeping them company during her visit! She was a reliable communicator and even came by for a walkthrough to ensure a smooth visit before I left town, which was a huge help in giving instructions for care.”
“Connor was so helpful taking care of my cats! He payed special attention to all of the instructions, medications, special prescription food, etc. He gave my cats cuddles & sent photos of them together. I definitely recommend!”
“Christine is incredible!!! My doggo is a little skittish about meeting new people, and Christine took the time to get to know her and bond with her :) she’s super accommodating and flexible and I look forward to having her doggie sit mollie again soon!!!”
“Beth is both great to work with and wonderful with Barbara. She gives me such thorough updates, which as a new puppy mom are crucial and so appreciated! Beth also is very mindful of any training I am working on and so willing to understand any special care that is needed. I highly recommend Beth!”
“Kristin was incredible!!! So so sweet to our kitties and sent such great updates while we were away. So grateful for her and highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Jeremy is just so great with my animal. He is always responsive and communicates his time and schedule clearly so there are no surprises while I'm gone. He has even made himself available on short notice (which I hate to do but it sometimes happens) and I knew everything would go perfectly with him and my fur baby.”
“Amy did a great job taking care of our extremely shy cat while we were away, even coaxing her out of her hiding spots for treats/petting. We received updates from Amy daily and notes about how our cat was doing, and felt very comfortable that she was in good hands.”
“Alice is amazing!! We had to get rover last minute for our pup and she’s the best! Able to help and made us feel great leaving Casper in her care! Great communication and care for our pup!”
“Desiree was a great sitter for our two cats. She checked on them daily while we were away and shared cute pictures. We know they were well cared for over our long trip. Even better as cat owners, we came home to a very clean cat area which isn’t easy to maintain given how quickly litter can track. We would absolutely request Desiree again and 10/10 recommend for anyone else looking for a sitter.”
“Nadaia is fantastic! She’s great at communicating and goes above and beyond. She sent lots of pictures & very detailed Rover cards. I booked her for several days, and I would definitely choose to book with her again!”
About: Ever since I can remember, I have had a dog in my life, usually multiples. Growing up in the country, my family always took in strays which we took in or helped relocate to the perfect home. Currently, I am a puppy mom to one amazing girl, Bourdain. She is sweetest pup and I am a lucky lady to have her! I am currently working from home and would love to spend time helping you by giving your fur babies a little TLC while you are doing what you need to do! My schedule is very flexible and am available to pop in as needed. I also have a 10 year old son who if available loves to give love and help out too! I am active and can provide exercise for your dog with walks around your neighborhood. My schedule is flexible (Realtor with a in home office) and I can easily help care for your fur baby. I work from home with any other appointments noted and will communicate any conflicts as needed. I’m all ears on your specifications for your pet. I want to have all the details so that I can provide the best care while you’re not there.
“Was out first time using Rover and Parker made all our worries go out the door. Extremely helpful and nice he made it know he had extensive experience with animals and could not of asked for a more professional and friendly sitter”
“Alison was great with our dog while we were gone on vacation. Alison fulfilled all her obligations and provided exceptional care for our dog. We are very pleased with the service that Alison provided.”
“Josh was amazing with my pets and sent me pictures and videos of them with every check in. They looked so happy with their time with him. I felt so at ease that I knew my pets were in good hands with him taking care of them!”
“As a repeat customer of Averi's, I always know that my dog will be well taken care of. She is reliable, good at keeping me updated, and genuinely cares about my dog. Your pet will be in good hands with Averi. I will definitely continue to have her be my Rover go-to choice!”
“Kelsey was great! My cat usually isn’t very friendly, but Kelsey didn’t seem to have any trouble with her. She followed instructions and Mila seemed well when I returned home. I would definitely book with Kelsey again.”
“Reagan did a great job. She helped care for my very geriatric cat and her particular needs. She kept her thriving for the 1.5 weeks I was away. Would re-hire and would recommend.”
About: My pride and joy is my 4yo tabby cat, Bijou. He is my little prince and he receives only the best love and care. I promise to extend that care to your furry friends as I know how hard leaving them is. I also have experience taking care of high energy dogs, like my brother Boston Terrier, Boomer. While he lives with my parents now, I help out when I can by feeding him, taking him for walks and playing with him. He has separation anxiety and tummy issues, so I am well versed in special diets and administering medication. I work 10 am to 6 pm on Monday to Friday but am available to help out anytime before and after! I have open availability on weekends. In your home, I will follow your detailed instructions on how you would like your pets to be cared for. I will respect the privacy of your home while making sure your pet is kept as comfortable and happy as possible.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Dorchester
Stefani is the best!! We have had Stefani care for our cat multiple times, including right after a dental cleaning when he wasn’t quite back to himself. I would have had to cancel my trip if it wasn’t for Stefani, and I always check her availability before making any travel plans - if she isn’t available, I would find different dates that work. She is kind, reliable, thoughtful, thorough, knowledgeable, and respectful - and my cat loves her!
Adele took care of my two cats for two weeks while I was out of the country. She communicated very well with me and sent lots of great pictures! My boys were calm and happy when I got back, which shows she did a great job making them comfortable and playing with them! If I go back out of town I will definitely reach out to Adele again!

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 Dorchester. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
