“Jiaming has watched our cats many times and we are so thankful for her! She always leaves us detailed messages and pics to keep us updated and she is always on time. We are grateful we have a sitter to rely on when we’re out of town. I would highly recommend Jiaming.”
About: I have dog sat for various relatives and friends over the years, as well as worked at dog day cares for 3 years. Good at providing a calm environment for dogs and have picked up training techniques from my old boss at the dog daycare. Had a dog of my own for 13 years and know various locations to walk and adventure, as well as a great sense of my neighborhood. I’m trustworthy and will provide good care for your dog. I have a car and am able to drive realtively far to come to your needs. The dogs will be in safe care under my watch. I look forward to meeting and helping out dog owners. I have a flexible availability and am patient. I’m not returning to office until February 9th and have plenty of time in the meantime to care for your pets! Upon returning to work, I will be available weekday evenings & all day on weekends unless otherwise indicated. For drop in visits, I am respectful and cognizant of client’s homes. I foster a safe environment, and am patient when working with your pet(s).
“We had a wonderful experience with Katherine and would absolutely recommend her. She came twice a day for a full week, spending an hour each visit, and was incredibly attentive to our cat’s needs the entire time. She made sure everything was taken care of, spent quality time playing with our cat, and clearly built a great bond with her. Our cat really loved her. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away knowing our cat was in such caring and capable hands. We would happily book with her again!”
“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.”
“Allison was great with our 12 week puppy Dunkin! She managed a tricky situation where our door was locked and was very communicative during and after the visit. Would totally book with her again.”
“Ashley was a great help to us when we needed someone to walk, feed, and play with our 7 mos old puppy. She is very communicative and timely, and has experience putting his prong collar on and off. She sent lots of photos and made sure Monty stayed cool on a hot day. Thank you Ashley!”
About: I’m a dog mom of 5 years to my scruffy rescue girl, Honey! I love dogs and excited for the opportunity to care for your pup. I’m very patient and caring. I’m happy to cater the experience to your dog’s individual needs to make them feel comfortable and have fun! I am available throughout the week and weekends. My schedule varies week to week but generally available, especially if you have a few hours window that works. I have a well trained 5 year old dog, Honey. I can crate your dog if needed. I will provide ample walks and outdoor time.
“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.”
“Madison is fantastic! Our first time using Rover and we were so happy to find her. She was wonderfully flexible and our pup was immediately comfortable with her. Such a great experience all around!”
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.
“Alicia did an amazing job with Chica and Benji! Benji went on multiple long walks, longer than we would even expect in the winter and Chica got lots of attention. Alicia was very communicative and friendly. We would highly recommend her.”
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.
“Nenliang (Eric) provided great pet care for my 2 cats every day for 5 days. He was very reliable and communicative and checked in every day. I would definitely work with him again!”
“Cynthia was wonderful at looking after our two cats for the week while we were gone. She was great at communicating anything that came up and good at playing or letting the cats have their space if they needed it. I would use Cynthia again if we ever need someone to look after our cats in the future.”
About: 🏡 Calm, home-away-from-home boarding 🐕 Pet-free household 🌳 Private fenced yard ❤️ Experienced with rescues & anxious dogs 📸 Frequent updates 👩 Home throughout the day 📝 Detailed meet-and-greet/intake process I may be new to Rover but I’m not new to caring for your dog. As a lifelong pet owner, animal lover and proud rescue dog mom, I know that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. I raised my two rescue Staffordshire Terrier/Pit Bull mixes from the shelter, giving me hands-on experience with training, structure, and positive reinforcement. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I adapt my care to match both their personality and the routine you’ve established, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your dog’s stay will include plenty of one-on-one attention, walks to the nearby park, playtime in my fully fenced backyard, and lots of affection (including couch cuddles if they’re allowed!). I also believe communication is key, so you can expect regular photo and video updates throughout the day for complete peace of mind. My goal is simple: to become someone you can trust wholeheartedly with your best friend. I want you to leave knowing your dog is being cared for with the same love, patience, and attention that you would give them yourself. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent attention throughout the day, whether that’s morning walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply keeping your dog company. I enjoy being active, so regular walks and outdoor time are already part of my day. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, overnight care, or an extended stay, I’ll make sure they receive the time, attention, and care they deserve—not just the basics, but plenty of love and companionship too. Every pet is unique, so I tailor my care to match their personality, energy level, and the routine you’ve already established. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, consistency, and lots of love and attention. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions (if needed), and any training cues you use so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. In my home, dogs enjoy a calm, pet-free environment with plenty of one-on-one attention, a fully fenced backyard for supervised play, walks to the nearby park, and cozy places to relax. If your dog is allowed on furniture, they’re welcome to cuddle up on the couch with me. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I’ll keep your home tidy, can provide regular updates with photos and videos, and make sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. My goal is for you to return home to a happy dog and complete peace of mind

Ella was amazing to work with. She was super responsive and took excellent care of Blue. I loved how much feedback she gave in her rover cards. It was such a weight off my shoulders to know Blue was in good hands while I was away. I will definitely ask Ella to watch Blue again in the future.
Ann-Marie was absolutely amazing ! She was so loving and kind to my 2 golden retrievers. From the moment she walked in, she was playing with the dogs and it was obvious she loves animals. It was such peace of mind knowing my 2 dogs were being cared for so warmly. Ann-Marie went above and beyond and I couldn’t recommend her more. She gave great updates , sent pictures and exceeded what I had hoped for. So grateful to have found her !
I needed last-minute care for my dogs, and they were incredibly helpful and responsive. Meaghan communicated well throughout the visit, and sent plenty of updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Most importantly, my dogs were comfortable with her right away, and it was clear they were well cared for. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Gabriel was wonderful with my pups! He was very communicative and flexible with my whacky schedule, and he took the time to come over in advance to meet them first and introduce himself so they wouldn’t be meeting a strange for the first time during their drop in. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Mattapan stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Mattapan choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Mattapan with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
