“Alma took wonderful care of my feline roommate - excellent communication and fabulous pictures each day! I would highly recommend Alma for your kitty-sitting needs!”
“You know how you just know when someone is an authentic, caring cat person and Sofia is one of those extra special people that trust will treat your pet as well as she takes care of her own! I am a huge fan! She is now going to be the first person I check with if we need cat sitting. Our kitty usually gets very grumpy with us after we go on a trip ... but not this time! She did all the good stuff-- fed him, checked his litter, etc-- PLUS she played with him (which is not always a given with cat sitters), brought in packages, and turned lights on/off to make it seem like we were home. Thank you Sofia for making our time away from Otis much less stressful.”
“Julie was awesome with our kittens. We went out of town for 6 days and Julie proved to be a reliable and caring sitter. She stayed with our kittens for at least a half hour each day, playing and caring for them. She also went above and beyond to clean up after them (a few accidents happened) and even brought in our mail and packages. Highly recommend!”
“Abby was great in visiting our cat. She interacted, played and sent many photos. She is a wonderful sitter, personable and conscientious. I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs. She is the best!!”
“Have booked Natalia twice so far and plan to rebook later this year! She is very communicative and kind, open to suggestions and truly cares for my cat :) so grateful for her as with my first booking my flight was canceled but Natalia was quick to propose additional drop in times! Thank you!!!”
“Vanessa was fantastic! My cats and dog warmed up to her immediately and were comfortable with her around while we were gone. The communication was great and I was never worried that they were in good hands. I would 100% book again when we are away.”
About: I have done dog sitting for my sister's dog and multiple family members dogs. The tasks required were to walk them every day, feed them and give them water, and play with them. I am available every day, from mornings to nights. I prioritize pet care in my schedule. I enjoy making money, and I love being around animals. My living space is safe for all animals. I do not have toys for pets or bowls to feed them since I myself do not own any pets.
“Diane was fantastic! She took excellent care of my two kittens, including one who needed meds three times a day. She sent me updates and photos and was great about communicating throughout my time away. She even made sure that my flight was not delayed before she left the kittens. When I got home, my apartment was very clean and my kittens were very happy and well-cared for! I would definitely have her take care of my kittens again!”
About: Hi! I’m 22 and a college athlete who plays basketball and softball in Boston. We’re currently on break until late January, and I’m looking to pet sit or help out in any way I can. I grew up with dogs and recently lost my own, so spending time with other pups really means a lot to me. I love walks, playtime, and giving dogs lots of attention and cuddles. I’ve also walked dogs for a neighbor and would treat your dog like they’re my own! Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. Since I’m currently on break from school until late January, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention they deserve. I’m happy to help with walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, or overnight care and can adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs I will gladly take care of your pets in your home, or even take them on hikes if need be! I am able to help overnight as well as needed.
“Isabella was wonderful with my dog while I was gone for the weekend! He's older and picky and needs a little extra care...she was great with drop in visits, giving him extra attention, and making sure he got enough exercise while I was away. Very kind and reliable, will definitely book with Isabella again!”
About: With 14 years of personal experience caring for my own dogs, cat, and lizard, I really understand that every pet is unique and deserves patience, love, and consistency. What sets me apart is the empathy I bring from being a lifelong pet parent, not just a sitter. I treat every animal with the same care and attention I give my babies. I do not currently have a job, so I have lots of time to play with your pets! My schedule in the mornings is taking care of my own pets, and then errands and friends and such. In a client’s home, I always follow your instructions closely to keep your pet comfortable and their routine consistent. I respect your space, clean up after myself and your pet, and make sure they get the love, attention, and care they’re used to while you’re away!
About: I absolutely love animals, which is why I’ve been taking care of family, friend, and neighborhood pets since I was 12 (my family has also always had cats!). I am reliable and have been trusted to consistently and properly tend to pets, whether it’s walking, feeding, overnight and in-house care, or anything in between. I have experience with elderly animals, as well as puppies and kittens. I am more than happy to provide updates about your pet during their care, and will always reach out with concerns or questions should they come up to ensure they’re being taken care of in the way that’s best for them. I truly care about animals, and enjoy spending time with them maybe just as much as they enjoy having a pal. I’m excited to get to know new pets and keep them taken care of, safe, entertained, and happy! I’m currently already doing pet care part-time, and am excited to make time for even more furry faces! I am able to take care of pets that need early morning check-ins, as well as pets that need a companion overnight. I always make sure animals have the water, food, and essentials they need, and do what I can to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I am just as happy as them to be hanging out and will make sure they get plenty of playtime and attention, and are okay before bed if it is an overnight stay.
About: My name is Daniella. I am 24 years old and working with animals is what my life is about. All my life I have had my own pets and I have also worked at an animal hospital for the past 8 years! I am a college graduate with a degree in Biology and I’m here to make sure your fur babies are happy and safe! I have lots of experience with animals and I love any kind. You have a cat? No problem! 5 dogs? (It’s okay I do too!) consider me to watch your lovely animals! I promise that I won’t let you down! I am currently a full time vet tech! I am free pretty much every Sunday and Wednesday and Saturday afternoons after 3pm. I am off some Mondays as well. I would love to be able to work with your schedule as well! Bringing pets into my home won’t always be an option for me but I am more than happy to stay at your home to watch your fur babies! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats myself so bringing in other pets does not always work well for my little guysz
About: Being an animal lover, I have taken care of all of my own pets and those of friends and family. From guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, fish, cats, and dogs. I have seen the absolute best with pets and will do anything that a pet parent wants for their pet. While I look for a full-time/part-time job, I am available any day of the week, Monday-Friday, 7 am- 6 pm, and Weekends, any time of the day. I am able to come over you house, to be able to care for your pet when it is required. I am unable to at my house since I am in the process of moving. I am comfortable being in your house to ensure your pet is in a familiar area.

This is the second time Lauren has taken care of my two cats, dropping in, feeding, providing their arthritis and insulin medications along with sitting and playing with them to break up the day. Lauren is so easy to work with, very accommodating with schedules, and sends lots of pictures to ease any worries about how they're doing while I'm gone. The cats are always in good spirits when I get home and I know she's takes good care of them. Thanks, Lauren!
I am so glad to have found Robin. I feel so comfortable having her take are of my 2 kitties. She keeps me updated and sends me so many cute pics after each visit. I like that I do not need to worry about Hermes & Clio being in safe hands. It makes traveling for work less stressful which is priceless. Highly recommend Robin!
Needed a cat sitter somewhat last minute for a foster cat I'm taking care of. Our foster is still very skiddish around new people but Samantha did a great job and always found her little hiding spots. She was also super accommodating when I asked to adjust the number of drop-ins for the last half of the booking.
This was my first time leaving my two recently-adopted cats home alone, and it was such a relief to know Jessica was checking in on them. She was so communicative and made sure to send pictures (even when my girls were being shy and hiding). I would absolutely recommend her services, and I would book with her again in a heartbeat the next time I need a sitter! Thank you, Jessica :)
Melanie was wonderful with our cat Mino, who is very shy with strangers. She gave him space when he needed it and kept us updated every day with detailed messages. By the end of the stay, they had become good friends, which is a big deal for him! We’d absolutely book her again.

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.

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 .
