“Valerie was very reliable and provided great care for our Great Dane and Shiba Inu while we were out of state for 5 days. Not only that, but she made herself available for us in a last-minute situation which we were very grateful for. She communicated well with us whenever there were issues or concerns. Our dogs were very content when we arrived at home which proves how well they were taken care of😊 We will definitely be reaching out to Valerie again for help with our dogs!”
About: I have been around pets all my life and love every kind! I have experience caring for dogs and cats as well as many other species! I love caring for any animal I can and would be happy to look after yours! I grew up around dogs and have experience pet sitting them for may friends and family! I also have three years of studying zoology at the University of New Hampshire. I have a very flexible schedule and I can likely make any time or day work to look after your pet as long as I am not already booked! I do not provide pet care in my own home but I will follow any instructions given to me very carefully and ensure both your pet and your home are carefully looked after! The safety of your pets are my priority and would be happy to provide any pictures of them you would like while you are away!
About: Hi! I have been caring for others pets since I was about 8 years old and would walk my neighbors dog! I have been a dog groomer for about 10.5 years, I am pet CPR/safety certified. I also have experience giving both cats and dogs medication as my own both take daily medication. I can’t remember my life without pets! I work part time so I am available mornings and late afternoon/nights to care for your pets! Great for escaping the summer heat on our walks! My babies are my family and I will treat your pets with the same respect! One of the most rewarding experiences is helping a nervous animal come out of their shell. Would love to walk your pups and care for them in your home
“Juliette is everything we needed - friendly, responsive, on time, caring to our fur baby, and communicative. She also took some of the best pictures of Chessie we've ever seen! It was fun to see the pics every day. We had peace of mind when we were away and are looking forward to having her cat sit again.”
“Laura did a great job checking in on our 4 cats while we were out of town for our wedding. Having her excellent communication, report cards and photos really put us at ease knowing our kitties were happy and well taken care of. Thank you so much Laura!!”
About: I have been a loving pet owner for many years and caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and feel that I have a special connection with them. I work from home and caretake my mom so I have spots in my day that I can do something I love and that's loving on animals! When caring for your pet in your home, I believe in providing a calm, loving and comfortable environment while respecting your space and your pet's normal routine. I will follow your instructions closely.
About: I have been around dogs and other pets my whole life! I grew up with Rottweilers and my family currently has Bernese mountain dogs and boxers so I understand the energy that fuels these big babies. I have experience with cats along with other animals ranging from farm to reptile. I have changed dog diapers, administered medications, and have provided care from puppy to senior. My current life does not allow for a dog and I just have a lot of love to give! I’m a teacher on summer break who also does not have much of a social life. I am very flexible currently and can fit with your schedule! I’m comfortable with what you are comfortable with! I have administered meds, changed dog diapers, and understand the importance of a watchful eye (my family dog will eat poop if she could).
About: I LOVE DOGS AND CATS! I have had two dogs in my life; one was a Doberman mix and the other was a yellow Labrador Retriever. They were both large, active dogs, so I'm used to handling rambunctious bundles of energy of all sizes. I can even give your dog oral medication if necessary. How about cats? Of course! I've also had two cats, and my current cat is turning 18 soon. The two cats I have had couldn't be more different. My first cat was very outgoing and loved meeting new people, and my current cat is, well, a cat's cat! So I am very understanding of the wide range of cat personalities. I have to give my old cat medication all the time, so I can give your cat oral medication if necessary. I I work part-time in Braintree, weekdays from 10-3. I can do early morning walks at the crack of dawn and late afternoon/evening walks in all types of weather. And, of course, I'm completely open on weekends. I will offer your dogs and cats play, affection, and attention (unless they're shy and prefer to be left alone, of course!). I'll feed them, clean up any messes they make, etc. I can offer to meet with you first and do a trial care (walking, playing, etc) free of charge so that you can decide if you want me to be your dog walker/pet sitter.
About: I have five dogs of my own and I walk/care for six more dogs. I have been walking dogs for five years. I have experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs. I have a full-time job and fit pet care around that mostly. I have time around lunch and after work mostly but can be flexible. Keeping the animals happy, on their routine is my number one priority. I’m committed to clear communication around visits and walks. I am very attentive to change noticed with an animal and will communicate that.
“Eduarda was a fantastic cat sitter! She was considerate of all of my care instructions and the little preferences that my cats have with playtime and food. She was also attentive with keeping the place tidy (such as cleaning up after one of my cats had messed around with their water fountain) for the wellbeing of my cats.”
“Jordan was a great cat sitter. She spent extra time with our kittens and balanced the needs of our rambunctious kitten and more calm kitten. She also sent great photos and updates each visit. We would definitely use her again.”
About: Hi, I'm D'Mitri - bookish plant dad and Legal Analyst seeking to foray into pet care as a fun and enriching side gig. I'm originally from New Mexico, where I grew up on four acres with a horse and three dogs. Since then, I have pet sat occasionally for friends and family but would love for it to be a larger part of my life. My partner adopted a sweet Cur, Auggie, (40lb) last summer who lives with us FT. He is mild-mannered, adores other dogs and receives regular socialization at both daycare 2x/wk and daily at the on-site fenced dog park and many green spaces on the premises. My preference is for small to medium sized dogs but do have the stature and experience to manage larger breeds as well. All ages welcome! We live in Dorchester (Columbia Point) with my boyfriend of nine years in a complex along on the Harbor Walk. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you! I WFH and the nature is my work is largely project-based, which affords me a lot of flexibility. On the average day, I wake at 6 and am in bed by 10:30. My partner and I live in a standard 1BR but our apartment complex is unique for the abundance of green space it offers - and even a dog park. Just right outside our front door is a huge lawn where others can often be spotted exercising their pets. I am also open to caring for your pets in the comfort of your own home! Rest assured that they will be cared for to your exact specifications and with lots of love.
“Mindy was fantastic at looking after our two cats while we were out of town for the holidays. She is very communicative, and we appreciated the frequent photo updates of our kitties throughout the day. You could tell she cared for our boys as if they were her own cats. It was great peace of mind knowing that our cats were in wonderful hands while we were out of town. I would not hesitate to book Mindy again the next time we go on a trip.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly love caring for all kinds of pets. I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters of my own, and I’ve also boarded dogs and cats for friends and family. I have experience fostering kittens and understand how much patience, attention, and care animals need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet needs a long walk, some extra playtime, or someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with pets of all personalities and love getting to know each animal’s unique needs! My schedule is very flexible because I work remotely, so I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’m happy to work with each pet parent’s schedule and can often be flexible with timing. I’m also available for boarding and overnight care depending on the dates and needs of your pet. I take pet safety and comfort very seriously and always make sure pets are supervised, secure, and cared for according to their owner’s instructions. I’m comfortable caring for pets in my home or a client’s home and will maintain their normal routines as closely as possible. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care.
“Kristen did a magnificent job in taking care of my cat for almost 2 weeks while I was out of the country for vacations. She provided me daily reports visits with pictures of her activity with my cat, including cat litter cleaning, water replacemen and feeding wet and dry food. She gave a lot of cuddles and love to my cat, I strongly recommend as a competent cat sitter to anyone. I will request her cat sitter service again in future vacation trips.”
About: I have experience working with dogs and cats through pet sitting and hospital experience. I have owned dogs for the past 16 years, chinchillas for the past 5 years, and hedgehogs for the past 7 years. I am able to detect symptoms and abnormalities that may require medical attention. I enjoy bringing my pets to a variety of places such as state parks, pet stores and public pet events. I am available most weekdays and weekends. I do not mind staying over for overnight care. My time is pretty flexible for now and I am able to drive to locations within an hour radius using my own car. I have a finished basement that would be used for the pets I care for. It has a bathroom with a hand held shower for easy bathing. I have a crate available for use for dogs under 30 pounds. The basement also has direct access to the back yard for easier potty times. The temperature in the basement is cool during the summer. In the winter the temperature would be adjusted using an electric fire place. Dogs would get enrichment through daily walks, puzzle toys and trick training. Cats would have access to the whole basement to free roam but will not have access to outdoors.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Hingham is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $28 per visit.

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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
