About: Hi! I’m a warm, caring, professional dog walker looking to add some walks and boarding to my schedule. I absolutely love dogs, and will treat yours as if it were my own with all the love, care and attention they deserve! I am comfortable with puppies, seniors, and even have experience with more reactive pups. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I am a professional dog walker with a local company two days a week, but am looking to add more walks and visits to my schedule. When I’m not dog walking, I’m working on building a sustainable swimwear brand from home, so I have lots of flexibility to work around your schedule. I don’t have any pets of my own, so yours will be the center of attention! I live on the second floor of a two family condo building. I don’t have a fenced backyard, but I live right off the Neponset River Trail and there are lots of great walking route and trails in my neighborhood. If your pet is used to sleeping in your room with you at night, I am happy to have them in my room, and can accommodate crated or uncreated dogs. In general I try to keep your pet’s schedule as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and at home.
“Lindsay was incredible with Sunny. She was very thorough during the meet and greet. She gives detailed updates with great pictures. Overall she goes above and beyond. I would definitely recommend.”
“Tommy was wonderful with our two cats. They were especially patient with our elderly cat who needed more time to eat. They took their time feeding and playing with the cats, made sure the doors were locked, and were kind enough to bring in any packages that were delivered when we were gone. Would definitely contact again next time we need a sitter.”
“Katherine took care of my two cats when I was out of town for a weekend. We had a meet and greet beforehand. She was very responsive and communicative about her visits. Even though I had no preference over timing, every morning she let me know what time she would stop by. After every visit she sent pictures and a written note of how the cats behaved and what food she gave them or what toys she had them play with. She was super patient with my shy kitten, who was getting over an upset tummy at the time. She gave him the probiotics as instructed and managed to get pictures even when he hid under the bed, and by day three he had warmed up to her! I definitely felt she took care of them as if they were her own cats, would book her again without a doubt.”
About: Hello, my name is Marangela. I have 2 years of experience taking care of dogs, cats and snakes! I used to work in AmeriCorp at an animal shelter so I am able to handle a variety of dogs. I am from the Boston area and have a flexible schedule. Would love to chat! I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time for your pets! I can work anytime before 1pm and after 6pm weekdays. I care for pets by being attentive and loving. I love being around animals and want to make sure they are always safe and in good hands.
“Julia is very easy to communicate with and was happy to come by for a meet and greet prior to first booking. For first visit, Julia was right on time and sent pictures and detailed notes about her visit. Will definitely book again! So appreciative of the care she provided.”
“Morgan and Meaghan were able to accommodate us last minute which is always so appreciated. They also took time to meet us before so we could ask questions and vice versa. Poe seemed to love her and the pictures were awesome. They were on time and left great details so I didn't have to worry about my boy at all. Would definitely have them back the next time and recommend to anyone!”
“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!”
“Jessica walked our dog several times when we were away and was very responsive from booking to her visits. Murph had a great time and he was well taken care of! We'd definitely book her again.”
“Val was super nice and communicative! We loved reading the updates and seeing all the pictures. It’s always hard leaving the cats, but she made us feel like they were safe and cared for.”
“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!”
“Thank you so much Jasmine ! She took such phenomenal care of my cat , stayed the whole time to play with him , cleaned the litter box and went above and beyond . So trustworthy . Thank you again .”
“We had just moved to Boston and needed a needed a dog-sitter on short notice for our Great Dane pup, Gordon, and David crushed it! He is super-patient and confident with our big boy and expertly communicative. David will always be our “go to!””
About: Desde pequeña he tenido contacto con toda clase de animales. Creci en una granja donde mis padres me inculcaron los valores cariño, amor, paciencia, responsabilidad, compresión, empatia y compromiso hacia todos nuestros animales. Esto hizo que en mi se desarrollara un profundo respeto y conexión con cada uno de ellos Estoy disponible tanto durante la semana como todos los fines de semana. Puedo adaptar mi horario para asegurarme de que sus mascotas reciban su comida a tiempo, siguiendo una rutina constante que les brinde estabilidad y bienestar. Por lo momento no tengo espacio para cuidar mascotas en casa...po lo tanto no puedo ofrecer ese tipo de servicio.. por eso estoy ofreciendo el turno nocturno y fines de semana en casa del dueño de la mascota
“I was initially super anxious about using this service, but Stephen put my mind at ease with incredible care, kindness, and communication. Amazing sitter, went above and beyond. Thank you!!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Mattapan
We were so fortunate to have Katherine’s help with our cat while we were out of town. She sent us updates every day while playing with our cat and gave him plenty of attention while he was on his own. She was very understanding as well of our need to lock one door and use another. She also made sure the water was refilled before leaving. Recommended!
Jadeth and Noah have been great when watching Oreo! Both times they did me a huge favor of checking in on him while I was away. Doing everything I asked, and showing a lot of care with socialization. He can be shy, so it is always a good sign when he is very affectionate with people watching him!
This was my first time using Rover, and I had a great experience. I was away from my cat for four days and was quite worried at first, but I soon felt relieved knowing she was in such good hands. He took great care of her, kept me updated, and made me feel comfortable while I was away. My cat warmed up to him very quickly and clearly enjoyed spending time with him, which meant a lot to me. I really appreciate the care and attention he gave her, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Mattapan on Rover is $27.75 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 5,027 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Mattapan. 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 Mattapan. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
