“Our dog Nala and Morgan got along great for her daily walks while we were away. The daily report cards we received gave us peace of mind knowing our girl was in good hands. Will definitely schedule feeding and dog walking with Morgan in the future! Thank you so much!”
“We are so glad to have had Ann-Marie take care of our cats. Even our shy girl felt comfortable to get some pets from her their first time meeting! She communicated wonderfully and sent us so many pictures. Thank you!”
“Debra was wonderful with our kittys. She played with them daily, gave quick updates, and took incredible photos. She made an effort to spend time with each of them, too. Two of our three cats are social little beings, and the third is a bit sassy and nonchalant. Debra was able to get him to trust and respond to her, allowing her to give him pets and he ate in front of her! That’s a big deal in our home. We recommend her and will absolutely hire her again.”
“If you want the best sitter, then Julie is your person. She made sure that our shy senior kitty felt comfortable, and for the first time ever, she started to open up to someone else. I cannot recommend Julie enough!”
“Nick was the best dog sitter! We had drop in visits scheduled, and he was so intentional with spending time with our pup on each one. We will definitely be booking with Nick for our next trip!”
“Megan and Chris were great with Lobo!!! They got back to us quickly and filled in when another walker had to pull out at the last minute. We got lots of great pictures and they were very responsive to us. I will definitely use them again!!!! A great first-time experience on Rover.”
“Julie was an excellent cat sitter and went above and beyond in taking care of my two cats while I was away. Julie made sure they were well fed and entertained and took incredible photos! I will definitely rebook.”
“Mirabel is the VIP! She did an incredible job with my fearful cat while I was out of town for a week in the middle of invasive renovations to our apartment. Knowing she was looking after him gave me so much peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Emily was amazing. She took great care of our dogs and was very understanding and accommodating when unforeseen circumstances led us to booking at the last minute. Will definitely use again in the future and recommend her!”
“Emily was wonderful to work with. She grasped the care instructions quickly and easily. She carried them out exactly as we wished. And our kitty, Louie, really enjoyed playing with her!”
“Sophia is EXCELLENT in all respects. She is very conscientious and amazing with dogs. She went above and beyond for us, addressing challenging issues in real time and responding flexibly when situations and needs changed. We are so grateful to have her caring for our dog!”
About: I found my love for animals volunteering at MSPCA adoption events, and carried that passion through college as a part-time kennel attendant caring for dogs and cats of all kinds. I also raised my own dog until she passed away from cancer last year, and that experience only deepened my appreciation for how much the animals in our lives mean to us. I’d love nothing more than to pour that love into caring for yours! I currently work hybrid so I have a lot of time to go on walks and play with your pet! I'm generally available on weekdays after 3pm or house sitting Fri-Sun. In your home, I am very clean and respectful and will abide by any rules you may have. Please let me know how regularly you would like updates, as I would be happy to take lots of photos and videos!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Jamaica Plain
Jordan stepped in last minute for a weekend we needed care. One of our cats was not as warm to Jordan during our meet and greet but by the end of 4 visits he was doing much better, which made us feel great so it our choice to go with Jordan. She followed instructions and our 2 cats seemed to enjoy their visits with her!
Juliet was great! She was very communicative and made sure my cat was well taken care of. I was nervous leaving my cat alone for a few days but she made me feel so much more comfortable because I knew Tuna Melt was having a great time. I’d definitely recommend her!
We just recently completed a 2+ week vacation, the longest we have left our cats at home. It is such a relief to know that Nick is taking such good care of them! We enjoyed his notes and photos after each visit. The cats obviously felt so comfortable with Nick that they treated him like family!!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Jamaica Plain on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of July 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.
