“Matilde is an attentive, friendly, and reliable pet sitter. She sent great detailed updates and photos of our cat, Frankie, while we were away, and even came by early to meet us before our trip. Frankie has some special dietary needs and Matilde made sure she was cared for, while also giving her plenty of cuddles and attention. We highly recommend her for pet sitting needs and can’t wait to have her take care of Frankie again!”
“My wife and I travel a lot, and over the last seven years we’ve engaged a lot of people to stay with our cat. Natalie is in a class by herself. She was wonderful in every way, and we came home to a very happy and calm cat. We’d hire her again in a heartbeat. Great person.”
“Delanie was a great cat sitter. She took great care of my cat and gave me very thorough updates. She did everything asked her to do to a T and went above and beyond when she could. I would book her again!”
“Tira was amazing and immediately put our family at ease. She cared for our cat for a full week while we were out of town for the holidays and was always quick to provide updates and thoughtful suggestions to help make our cat more comfortable. Our cat warmed up to her very quickly—which is rare—and Tira truly went above and beyond in terms of care. She is kind, thoughtful, and proactive, and we sincerely hope she will be available to help us again in the future.”
“Meg was a fantastic with our two older cats who require a little extra in their age, and they both warmed up to her immediately. She easily took on daily meds for one who can be difficult and gave lots of attention overall to both cats. She was very responsive and sent great updates so I didn't worry at all. She even swept up litter and did kitty dishes before she left! Thank you, Meg!”
“Angela is a top-tier pet sitter! She wrote the most wonderful details about every single visit and got such excellent pictures every time. We will certainly be using her as our go to from now on!”
“Caroline was available during a busy time of year and super flexible to accommodate a 30-min visit with my cat, Ms. M. We scheduled a quick check-in visit beforehand and she met Ms. M for about 30 minutes, reviewed any instructions, and I left her a set of keys. I appreciated having someone to make sure my cat had a bowl of wet food and some company while I am away for a week. Caroline was also flexible in setting up a time to handoff my spare set of keys. All and all it was a smooth experience and I’d recommend Caroline to others looking for cat care!”
About: I grew up with our own dogs as well as 25 foster dogs over the years. Five years ago, I adopted Eddie, my 14 year old chihuahua mix. In May, I adopted Dolly, my 10 year old Boston terrier mix. I’ve taken care of puppies, seniors, 110 lbs dogs, 10 lbs dogs, and everything in between! I’d love to be able to help you and your family. I’m a teacher currently on summer break, so my schedule is completely free for the summer. Once fall hits, I’ll still be available during the afternoons and on weekends. I truly think that owners know their dogs best, so I will take the lead from you in regards of what your dog expectations are. Each pet has different needs, so I’d like my care to reflect their needs and approach each situation holistically
About: I have grown up with animals all my life! I first started walking my neighbors German Shepard when I was 12 years old and I grew up with three cats in the our household. I had my own dog Guiness who was a silly goofy boxer until last year. I’m comfortable around any size dog as well as cats I have a unique work schedule where I have pretty early shifts so please take a look before scheduling! I work Sunday 9am-3pm, Monday 7am-4:30pm, Tuesday 6am-3pm, Wednesday 7:30-3:30p as well as later a shift on Thursdays 12pm-8pm so I have availability most people won’t have with an 8am-5pm job. With working Sunday-Thursdays, I’m available all day On Fridays! When I had my dog this schedule was really nice so he would only be left alone at home for around 4 hours at a time. I know how important it is to make sure your pet gets their energy out and bathroom breaks when you’re not there. I make sure any environment I’m in is clean and pet friendly whether that means crating your dog if they need to be after visiting or making sure I’m aware of my surroundings in walks. My dog was reactive towards other dogs so I have experience with reactivity and will be aware of other dogs while on walks. During visits I would love to play with your pet with their toys, puzzles, or lick mats whatever they need I’m there! I do have experience giving dogs medication as well if that’s something you need! I don’t have experience giving cats medication.
About: I am 26 years old and I have been dog walking and house sitting with dogs and cats since the age of 11. I grew up in a house with 2 dogs and helped out throughout all the puppy phases. In high school I had a chinchilla and 3 years ago I got my own cat, so I am now much more familiar with their needs (I found the show "My Cat From Hell" especially helpful). I have a lot of experience with both anxious and energetic cats and dogs. I can administer oral medications and will make sure your pet eats their whole meal. I am currently working from home, so schedule is very flexible just propose a day and time and I will let you know what works! I can only care for pets in other people's homes, my apartment is not pet friendly. I am very mindful of animal communication styles and am good at helping tentative animals come out to play. I appreciate the opportunity to access a yard, park, or even spacious living room where we can play after a walk or before a meal.
About: hi! I’ve been living and taking care of animals since I was a kid. I have always loved, connecting with dogs and cats. For at least the past decade, I have walked, fed, and stayed overnight with neighbors’ animals, so I’m well versed in the responsibilities of caring for furry friends! I also took care of my elderly dog for many years before she passed at 16, so I know how to help make older dogs feel comfortable. I truly believe all animals deserve loving attention, and I can’t wait to help care for yours. :) I am a student and work part time in Somerville. My availability is very flexible, and I can also easily adjust my schedule to fit your needs. I spend lots of time outside, so I am eager to walk dogs/play outside with them, and take care of your pets! I have a fenced in patio/backyard. I live on the upper unit of my house, but there is A/C to cool off the animals on a hot day.
“Hillary was so great! Chloë loved her and I felt so reassured knowing she was well-cared for. Hillary spent quality time with Chloë and sent lovely, detailed notes and photos. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been a passionate dog and cat owner all my life, and animals are truly my world. I recently lost my wonderful dog, and while I’m not quite ready to bring a new pet into my home permanently, I have so much love left to give! I would love to step in and care for your fur babies exactly as if they were my own. Whether your pet is an energetic pup who needs a long, fun walk to burn off energy, or a sweet cat who just needs some quiet companionship and a fresh bowl of water, I adapt to whatever routine they feel safest with. I’m incredibly reliable. I will send photos and text updates so you always have peace of mind while you're away. I’m friendly, reliable, and love spending time with pets. I work during the week but have summers off, so I’m available every day in the summer. From September to June, I’m free after 3:30 p.m. I’m happy to help with afternoon walks and weekend pet sitting. I’m patient with animals, follow care instructions carefully, and make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and a safe, steady routine. I’ll send updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away. While I do not have a fenced-in yard, I live right by the beautiful Mystic River walking trail, which is absolutely perfect for daily exercise! I love taking dogs out for long, scenic walks along the water where they can get plenty of fresh air, mental stimulation, and physical activity. When we are inside, I keep a very close eye on my guest pets to ensure they are safe and comfortable. I am highly attentive and will always use a secure leash during our outdoor adventures. Your pet will get a consistent routine, lots of companionship, and plenty of outdoor time.
“Ava was wonderful! She house sat our two cats for a couple of nights - kept us updated on their antics and provided additional updates and photos throughout her stay. Highly recommend for in home cat-sitting!”
About: I've been a cat(s)'s human nearly my whole life - don't tell my landlord, but we've got 4 at home! Been around dogs my whole life too - my husband and I adopted a doggo in 2019 and he is now a certified AKC trick dog. 😎 Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks! We've fostered cats and have always dogsat for friends. Looking forward to meeting your critters! I probably won't remember your name but I'll definitely remember theirs. I'm currently on leave from work but will be remote after I return to work duties in November and can continue seeing regulars, so your pets and I can form a beautiful lasting friendship! I love walking, hiking AND EVEN running with dogs! Happy to accomodate your pups needs. I love being active but I also love vegging around, so if your furry friend is shy but needs a soothing presence while you're out of town, I'm happy to sit around and read or play switch. Super happy to be as flexible as possible to accomodate your needs!
“Emily is fantastic! She is so personable and a great communicator, taking lots of photos and updates for us of our cats. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Josie was such a great sitter! They stayed at my home so my grumpy old man could have some company and he really warmed to them quickly. They made sure he got his medication and was very communicative with questions and updates. They left my place clean and ready so I could relax and snuggle with my cat when I returned. I will definitely use them as a sitter again!”
About: I volunteered at an animal shelter for 2 years. I have also taken care of dogs my whole life. I have pet sit for my neighbors dogs and cats as well. I am a full time optometry student, so I am in classes but have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pet care any day of the week. My cat is an indoor cat so he hangs out inside full time, but I care for pets in clients home based on their instruction and routine they have established with their animal.
About: I have lived with and cared for pets since I was 6 year old and have been a reliable go-to dog and cat sitter for friends and family over the years. I currently work part time in the food service industry and am free most weekdays and weekend nights. I love to get my steps in and explore - so dog walking, and dropping in to care for your pet fits right in to my daily routine! I will follow any instructions and treat your space with the utmost respect. I will ensure your pet is left comfortable and content, and leave no other trace of my visit.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Medford
Yingzi is a wonderful cat sitter! She took great care of our cat Yokii while we were out of town on a short vacation, and she followed his daily routine and our instructions carefully. After every visit, she sent us a brief update with photos so we always knew how things were at home. It gave both my family and Yokii so much peace of mind. Thank you, Yingzi!
Gabby was great! She was really flexible to work with - on short notice she was able to stop by for a meet and greet and drop in on our kitties over a long weekend. She made sure to take care of the kitties' daily needs while we were gone, and even got them comfortable enough to play - we really appreciated her time and attention on BoBaTee! Thank you so much 😄

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.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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.
