“Stefani has been my go-to sitter for 2 years and has taken great care of my dog, Laila. Stefani is professional, caring, and especially good at giving some extra love when I am gone. You can trust that your pet will be well taken care of!”
About: I love all animals even the not so loved ones. I currently have a cat and miss caring for other animals. I have experience with large breed dogs, cats, several snake species (even the spicy ones), tarantulas, rats, rabbits, ducks, and ferrets. I’ve rescued some kittens and puppies as well. I love all animals but I do favor the reptiles! I kept all sorts of snakes such ball pythons, boas, carpet pythons, blood pythons, retics, white lipped pythons, and more! I am a hair stylist and know my schedule weeks in advance. I am always available every day after 7pm and sometimes earlier. I offer late night/last minute services so don’t be afraid to ask! My full time job prevents me from offering morning/lunch time services every day. I will guarantee your pet will get my full undivided attention in the comfort of your home, on walks, or just drop in visits. They will be loved.
“Nadaia was super nice and took excellent care of my babies. She was there when she said she would and went above and beyond in cleaning up behind my messy pets. I would 100% recommend using her services again.”
“So, so grateful for Nicki! She took great care of our 3 pups on super short notice: she was timely, friendly, left detailed reports and lots of pics, and the dogs LOVED her! Would absolutely recommend!”
“Emily was great. My cat can be timid and take awhile to warm up to strangers and Emily was extremely patient with her and ended up getting her to come out to play. We came home to a happy, healthy cat. She kept me updated and was very easy to keep in contact with. Will definitely use her again and would recommend!”
“Took special care of our pup and went above and beyond to give medication and help keep the same routine as we battle Westie allergies ! Would absolutely recommend”

“Jeremy is always so great with Jewels and I have been using him for almost a year now without any issues. Jewels loves his drop ins and I would recommend him to anyone. Ty Jeremy”
“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!”
“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.”
“Delaney was awesome and easy to work with. She met me and my 2 dogs beforehand for a quick introduction and then was timely in checking in on them throughout the week. Good care and great communication. Will book again!”
“I was super nervous about using a dog sitter but Morgan was more than willing to accommodate all mine and my two huskies needs. They’re usually shy with people but they took a liking to her. She did a great job with them and gave me peace of mind.”
“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!”

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!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Dorchester on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.

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.
