“It was great to have TJ looking after our cats. He was very communicative and prompt, we felt like they were in great hands while on our trip. He was patient with one of cats that can be a little skittish and he was great with our older cat that needs a little more attention. We will definitely use TJ again and recommend him.”

About: I've been a weekly volunteer at various local animal shelters for five years now, working as both shelter support staff and a cat-socialization volunteer. In addition, I have two cats of my own at home who I miss dearly as a college student, and I have plenty of experience with the day to day maintenance and housekeeping tasks of cat owners. In addition, I have experience with geriatric cats and medication administration, both orally and through injections. I understand the importance of sticking to a feeding schedule and can reliably come at the same times each day. I have plenty of experience with kittens as well, as I am a current volunteer at a kitten rescue shelter. Most importantly, I love socializing with cats, and I will make sure that your cat gets plenty of play time in each visit! I'm a current college student, so I have time around my classes to come and visit your pet! I am most available from 6 am-9 am and 5 pm-8 pm on the weekdays, but on the weekends I have much more flexibility and am available all day! I give a lot of attention and love to the pets that I care for. I devote an hour of playtime to make sure that your pet is socialized and happy while you are away! I also think that it is very important that your pet is in a clean and healthy environment, so I make sure to clean their food bowls, refill their waters, and scoop their litter every visit. I also make sure to keep waste out of the house, so I always take out the trash with litter and empty food tins each visit : )

“Madeleine is absolutely amazing! I have a very shy but super sweet cat who is usually wary of strangers, but she loved Madeleine from her very first visit. I was so impressed! Madeleine sent me adorable pictures every day, was incredibly responsive, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I will 100% hire her again and feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful, trustworthy pet sitter. I highly recommend her!”

About: Hi! My name is naomi, i am 26 and live in the greater boston area. I have joined Rover because I have loved animals , and spending time with animals for my entire life. I have had dogs all throughout my life and constantly walked my dogs on a regular basis. I also have had a dog with behavioral issues so i know how to work with all different dogs and understand that they all have different needs. I currently have 2 cats and have had cats my whole life so I am also very accustomed to taking care of cats as well as dogs! I hope to meet some incredible animals and keep them happy! My schedule is very flexible currently as I am between jobs. I also have a vehicle which makes traveling to you and your lovely pets much simpler! I ensure my pet is feeling safe and happy at all times to the best of my ability. I walk and feed the dogs and ensure they are cleaned if necessary. If I also make sure that the animal (cat or dog) has been fed and has enough water, and ensure their water is clean. If I am taking care of a cat, I would ensure their litter box is cleaned at least once a day.

“Olivia was wonderful! My cat is a very social, affectionate guy - he really needs companionship when I have to travel as he can sometimes get ibd flair ups when he is stressed, and I can tell she kept him in excellent company. He was perfectly calm and happy when I got back. I really appreciated Olivia taking the time to do an intro visit; she is friendly and professional, and struck an immediate friendship with my cat - it's always a little scary to leave your pet with a new sitter, but it was easy to trust Olivia with him upon first meeting her. She sent check in texts and photos. We look forward to booking with her again in the future!”

About: I’ve shared my home with dogs and cats my entire life, rescuing pets of all ages from energetic youngsters to sweet seniors. Over the years, I’ve learned that every animal has a unique story, and I make it a priority to train every pet I bring into my home. This hands-on experience has taught me a massive amount about patience, adaptability, and animal behavior. More than anything, it has given me a deep sense of compassion and a real knack for connecting with animals. I love bringing that structure and care to their lives, and I'm excited to bring that same dedication to this role. I offer in-home pet care tailored to your pet's exact schedule. I work full-time at a school, I am available for quick drop-ins on weekday evenings. I have open availability on weekends to give your pet all the time and attention they need. I offer personalized in-home pet sitting and drop-in check-ins tailored to your pet's unique needs. Your pet's comfort is my top priority, which is why I strictly follow their established feeding and exercise to maintain their normal routine while you are away.

About: Hi! My name is Morgan, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets! I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life, and over the past five years, I’ve also volunteered at several animal shelters. Through my shelter experience, I’ve had the opportunity to care for both dogs and cats by feeding them, playing with them, cleaning up after them, and, most importantly, giving them the love, patience, and attention they deserve. I truly believe that pets are an important part of our families and hold such a special place in our lives. Every animal has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to get to know each pet and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they need. My goal is to make your time away easier by giving you peace of mind that your pets are in loving and dependable hands. I would be so happy to meet you and your pets and have the opportunity to become someone you can trust to care for them! During the week, I’m available to care for your pets before 9:00 AM and after 5:00 PM. On weekends, I have full availability and can accommodate any time that works best for you and your pet! I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for. I provide fresh food and water, plenty of attention and playtime, and a comfortable space for them to rest. I also understand the importance of respecting my clients’ homes and always make sure to leave everything clean, tidy, and just as I found it.

I originally started my pet care journey with family pets, and slowly began gaining clients through family friends and being recommended to other people.

I currently work full-time, but I still have plenty of time to care for your animals! My work is very flexible and I am often able to step away to visit your animals. I am completely free on Saturday afternoons, all day Sunday, and all day Monday. Depending on what environment your animal has at your home, I cater to your every preference. On leash, off leash, crated, no pets on furniture, etc. I always make sure to respect my clients homes and most importantly their wishes!

About: I've have grown up surrounded by animals (2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 brothers!). I have experience in short and long term dog & cat sitting. My most interesting sitting experience was watching 5 cats at once (the more the merrier)! I also have experience taking care of small animals including hamsters and guinea pigs. With my family, I have helped to foster and find the forever homes for 2 dogs, 1 adult cat, and 2 kittens! I have experience and am comfortable working with shy and nervous animals. I am a student at Boston College living in Newton for the summer. I am currently taking classes and am a research intern which take up roughly 2-4 hours a day. I also work in downtown Boston on Monday's and Wednesday's between 9am-5pm. While I do not have a car, I am well versed in Boston public transportation. I am a very active person and would be happy to take your pups walking, running, and on hiking adventures! For services in my home: I currently live with 1 roommate and do not have any pets. I am comfortable with short-term boarding (no longer than 4 weeks) for dogs and cats. I have an unfenced backyard but have close access to a fenced in dog-park. My apartment is on the second floor - a concern for older dogs who might have trouble with stairs. For services in client homes: I am able to stay in client homes & I am clean and quiet! I am happy to complete cleaning services or other house-sitting tasks along with caring for your dogs, cats, or small animals. I am also comfortable visiting client homes periodically, including multiple times a day if needed.

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.

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.
