“Julie was able to cover last minute and my cat simba had fun playing with her. She cleaned up after the cat and made sure he had enough food and played laser games with him. Another person bailed on me and she was able to come to the rescue at the last minute and feed my starving kitten! Little simba is my fur baby. :3”
“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.”
“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!”
“Morgan and Meaghan did such a wonderful job pet sitting our two cats Pancake and Tater. I am incredibly appreciative of how communicative they both were during the week. Would absolutely work with them again!”
“Yui is an excellent sitter! Teddy warmed up to her right away, and I had no concerns about leaving him in her care. You can tell she really loves animals and put real care into watching after them.”
“Anne-Marie was absolutely wonderful. I met her for the first time just before leaving on an 11 day trip, and I was pretty nervous because I’d never left my pets for that long before. She immediately put me at ease. It was so clear from the thoughtful updates and photos she sent that they were happy, comfortable, and genuinely enjoying her company. Knowing they were being so well cared for allowed me to fully enjoy my trip without worrying. Anne-Marie is incredibly thoughtful, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets. She truly went above and beyond.”
“Stacy was wonderful. We’re new to Rover and we’re new to her, so there was a lot information to convey. She made time for it and asked all the right questions. She did a wonderful job taking care of our cats!”
About: I currently have 2 cats and I have had experience pet sitting a variety of pets (dogs, cats, birds). I have also fostered dogs including puppies. I’m looking forward to meeting your pets! I am a current grad student pursuing my MPH. My calendar is always updated so feel free to send requests and we can figure out a time that works for both of us! I will always respond to messages as soon as I can and stay in communication as well:) I cannot board any animals at my own place but I am happy to come by and walk/spend some time playing with your pet! Please let me know if there is anything I need to be aware of or any house rules! Also for any dogs that I am taking out on walks please let me know ahead of time if they are okay greeting other dogs or if we should keep some distance for everyone’s safety:)
“Ella was perfect! Our animals absolutely loved her! Her timing was perfect and she was very helpful with every request we had. I can’t recommend her more and I’ve had many Rovers!”
“Nick was such a pleasure! He was timely with his check-in visits for our two dogs and provided great updates each time. Definitely planning to work with him again!”
“Alexandra was so great with Maker! She always included pictures from her visits and answered quickly when I messaged her for any reason. She was great! Occasionally a little late with scheduled times but that doesn't bother Maker at all so she was perfect for us!”
“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.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Jamaica Plain
Claire is excellent! She is reliable, trustworthy, detailed, and prompt. She does daily drop-ins for my energetic kitty and is so great with her. She always makes sure to send pictures of all the playing they do together, along with a detailed update after every visit. Claire consistently goes above and beyond what I’ve asked of her, and I feel completely comfortable knowing my cat is in her care. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Helena has once again taken wonderful care of my cat while I was away. My cat was happy, well-fed, and clearly well looked after, and I came home to a spotless apartment. I really appreciate Helena's flexibility and how quickly she responds to messages and any changes. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much, Helena!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Jamaica Plain on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,047 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Jamaica Plain. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jamaica Plain. On Rover:

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.
