“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!”
“This was our 3rd booking with Julie and we were so happy she was available on a shorter notice that we’d have preferred. Our boys eagerly await her visits! I think they look forward to us going on trips just so they can see their friend Julie!”
“Ella took excellent care of my elderly cat, keeping her company and administering her medication. She provided detailed notes and many pictures after each drop-in. I also appreciate that she left everything neat and tidy.”
About: I am experience with caring for several types of dogs and cats in size and breed. I have cared for multiple dogs at the same time and meeting their needs at any age. My greatest strength is my patience and my willingness to communicate with your pets to ensure a working relationship that is based on love and care. I work remotely at home, and I am happy to take breaks to care for pets in between my work. I am flexible with early morning walks to late evening strolls. I love walking through parks and working at pet friendly cafes. I am transparent with my work. Working at clients home is something I understand that must be rooted in trust and care. I respect people's property and schedule to the best of my ability. I am actively aware of the need for communication, and I place that trait above all.
“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!”
“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!”
“Rev is communicative and on time. It was great they were open to a meet and greet/drop in before booking an overnight and I feel great that it seems my dog will be in very capable and kind hands!”
“Lucy did a great job watching Chica and Benji! She did everything we asked and the pets were super happy when we came home with no accidents anywhere! We will 100% reach out to her again.”
“Megan was so helpful to come do a check in on short notice. She sent photos and messaged me ahead of time to coordinate what my dog needed. She is great!”
“Anastasia was so great with our young puppy. We were a little anxious about leaving her for the first time, but this was an excellent experience. Definitely booking again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Jamaica Plain
Alexina was amazing! It was a pleasure working with her, from our pre-booking “meet and greet” to her final visit and kind note. She was incredibly thoughtful and communicative, making it easy to trust her with our three cats and our home. This was our first Rover experience, and I felt so reassured to find Alexina, someone we can really trust. Thanks so much, Alexina!
Helena took fantastic care of my cat Liuliu. She kept me posted on the feeding schedule, shared what she noticed about my cat and apartment, and asked extremely thoughtful questions. Liuliu had a hard time adjusting to staying with friends during my leave, but Helena's steady, gentle presence helped her settle right back in. It brought me great comfort to see how well Liuliu was doing with Helena around, and I loved all the pictures and videos she shared along the way.
Julia was wonderful with my cat, Draco! She really took the time to understand his personality, and it looked like he had so much fun playing and hanging out with her while I was away. She sent detailed updates after every visit along with lots of photos, which I really appreciated and made me feel great knowing he was happy and well cared for. I’d definitely book with her again!
Lindsay was the first sitter we booked through Rover, and we absolutely loved her! She's incredibly thoughtful and paid close attention to every detail of care for our three cats, even the most nitpicky instructions I threw at her. She was also super responsive, so I never had to wonder how everyone was doing. She left our home exactly as she found it, which showed how much she cared about keeping the cats in a clean, comfortable environment. Lindsay truly cares about our cats, and that's what you want in a cat sitter. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Jamaica Plain on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of September 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 .

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.
