“Holden was an amazing pet sitter for our cat, Maribel! He was very responsive and replied to messages quickly. Maribel was quite shy but he made sure she felt safe, supported and had treats nearby to stay happy! We were so glad to find Holden to take care of our kitty and will surely book with him again and recommend him to anyone in the area with pets! :)”

About: I have done a lot of animal sitting since I was in high school looking after my nieghbors dogs and cats when they were away. I am a huge animal lover but I am best with dogs and cats. Before I went to college my nieghbor had just bought a puppy and we had just got a cat, I trained the cat and I did most of the dog walking for the puppy. Being able to play and care for animals is the best job I can think of. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I would love to be able to work with familiar clients and their animals. I provide over night pet sitting services, dog or cat walking, and drop in’s. I can take care of your fur babies Friday to Monday, for anything outside that time I may have availability, so just ask! I work a full time job 8am-4:30pm Monday to Friday. I typically go off the rules you lay out for your pet along with their usual routine. I want to make things as easy as possible for you and your pet. If you have a list of dietary restrictions or medication they need to take, I’m happy to learn as well as get them the care they need. If they have a specific dinner or walk time, I want to make sure I stick to it for you.

About: I offer lifelong experience with high energy dogs and structured care. Growing up with two family Vizslas from puppyhood to adulthood, I understand the dedication, patience, and mental stimulation required for active, sensitive breeds. I am a recent graduate currently waiting to start a new job in Boston this upcoming September so I am free full time during this transition period. Safety, security, and peace of mind are my top priorities when caring for your pets in your home. I treat your space with the utmost respect and strictly follow all custom instructions from precise feeding schedules and medication routines to house rules and secure door/gate checks.

About: I have rescued birds, kitty’s that have been thrown in the trash and puppies. My cat has had 4 litters, I have helped her deliver all those kittens and I helped her take care of them like they were my own. I have taken care of animals since I was born. I have always loved them and trying to spend as much time with them as I can, they help me think and relax. I also want to work with animals professionally in the future, but we all start somewhere right? I also own two pets, one cat (Amanda) and a puppy, which is a rescue (Gigi) I can take care of small dogs and any kind of cat, I am happy with taking care of any breed. I don’t have any specific request, all I ask for is for specific times and dates, thank you!!! When I take care of pets I treat them like my babies, I make sure they’re fed, they get their playing time and also a few snuggles every couple of minutes. My favorite part is meeting them, these situations are always scary but eventually it turns into a kindergarten class lol.

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.

About: I may be new to the Rover platform, but I have spent my entire life caring for animals and treating them as my own. I grew up with a beloved Toy Poodle, named Mason, who was full of life until he passed in January 2025. Caring for him, especially as he managed heart and bladder complications in his later years, gave me extensive experience in administering daily medications and providing the extra patience senior dogs require. Beyond my own pets, I’ve spent years sitting for friends and family with dogs and cats of all sizes. Whether your pet is a high-energy puppy or a quiet senior, I am comfortable adapting to their unique personality and ensuring they feel safe, loved, and pampered while you’re away. Because I work a professional office job, I have tailored my pet-care schedule to ensure I can give your fur babies my undivided attention during my off-hours. My current availability is Monday through Thursday evenings, and I have expanded hours on Fridays for early mornings, lunch breaks (12–1 PM), and evenings. On Saturdays and Sundays, I am fully available all day for longer walks or house-sitting needs. I pride myself on being reliable and communicative, and I would love to help maintain your pet’s routine—from neighborhood walks to playtime and feedings—with the same care I’d give my own. Because I work a structured professional schedule, I am able to offer very consistent and predictable blocks of time for your pets. Here is how my routine typically looks: - Monday – Thursday: I work in-office during the day, so I am fully dedicated to evening care from 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM. This is perfect for dinner feedings, evening walks, and end-of-day snuggles or medication. - Friday: This is my most flexible weekday! I am available for early morning check-ins before 8:30 AM, lunchtime visits (12:00 PM – 1:00 PM) for a midday potty break, and I am fully available from 5:00 PM onwards to kick off the weekend. - Saturday & Sunday: These are my primary "Pet Days." I am fully available all day for long hikes, multiple drop-ins, or extended house-sitting. I treat my clients' homes with the same respect and care that I give my own. I am a firm believer in maintaining the "house rules" you’ve already established. If your pet isn't allowed on the couch or needs to be crated while I step out, I follow those instructions to the letter. I am naturally tidy and vigilant, ensuring that no stray items are left out that a curious pet could get into. Your home's security and your pet’s safety are my top priorities while you are away. I live in a comfortable, pet-friendly apartment designed for relaxation and play. For safety, I have a strict policy regarding my balcony: it remains locked at all times when a pet is in my care to ensure there is zero risk. My layout has enough space for your pet to lounge or play, and I have dedicated space if your pet prefers to be crated for sleep or meals. While I don't have a private yard, I am lucky to live in an area surrounded by lush green spaces! There are beautiful walking paths right outside my front door and several parks throughout the neighborhood. This allows for plenty of "sniff-breaks" and fresh air. Whether we are in your neighborhood or mine, I am always focused on leash safety and staying aware of our surroundings to ensure every walk is a happy and secure one.

About: Hi! I’m Sara, and I’ve always had such a big love for animals, especially horses and dogs! Growing up, animals have always had a special place in my heart, and I truly believe they deserve all the love, patience, and care in the world. I love spending time with dogs, whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them some extra cuddles and attention. Every dog has their own little personality, and getting to know them is honestly one of my favorite things! I know how much our pets mean to us, so I’ll always treat yours like my own. My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind while you’re away! My typical day is pretty relaxed and flexible, which gives me plenty of time to spend with your furry friends! I love starting the day with a nice walk, some fresh air, and of course, lots of playtime and attention. Throughout the day, I make sure there’s a good balance of exercise, potty breaks, meals, cuddles, and downtime. I also love getting to know each dog’s personality and sticking to their usual routine so they feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I do work night shifts on select days, but I’m always upfront about my availability and make sure your pet’s needs and schedule are a priority. I’m also more than happy to send pictures and little updates throughout the day because I know how reassuring it is to see your babies happy and well cared for! 🐾 I live in a safe, pet-friendly gated community with its own secure dog playground, plus the Quincy Dog Park just around the corner—perfect for plenty of playtime and socializing! 🐕✨

About: I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs. I have experience with puppies (basic training, potty routines, and high-energy play) as well as senior pets who require patience, gentle handling, and medication support. I’m detail-oriented, great with routines, and always prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I also keep owners updated with regular check-ins, photos, and messages so you always feel at ease while you’re away Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’m very organized and consistent with my schedule. I’m able to plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention they need. Whether it’s daily visits or weekly care, I prioritize reliability and make sure pets stay on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely and keep pets on their normal routine with feeding, playtime, walks (if needed), and cleaning. I make sure they feel comfortable and get plenty of attention while their owners are away. I also respect the home, keep things tidy, and provide regular updates so owners feel at ease.

About: Preferred Name: Del I adore animals, and as far as I can tell the feeling is mutual. Roommates, partners, and friends are always impressed by how quickly their pets take to me and jokingly complain that I'm "stealing" them away. I've cared for pets in my family since I was 12. I'm an enthusiastic walker and I'm adamant about keeping cats and dogs stimulated with playtime. Currently between jobs so my schedule is very flexible. As such, I'm free to devote all I can to taking care of your lovely critters. I make visits and house stays as appropriate. Meticulous about following pet care instructions to a T as you know your pet better than I ever could. Will make sure that your pet is stimulated, fed, loved, and cared for so that your absence goes hopefully as unnoticed as possible.

About: I’ve been around dogs for my whole life, actually I have never not had a dog. I come from a Boxer house hold, so I am especially great with bigger and energetic pups! I have experience with over night care of pets from many summers of my parents going on vacation. I just moved to Boston for my master’s degree and had to leave my childhood pup at home, so I am looking for love from a pet! It would be my pleasure to spend time with your pet! I’m currently a full time student and I commute to Boston for classes. Monday I am on campus from 1:30-5:30; Tuesday is my longest day from 11:45-8:30; Wednesday 2:50-8:30; Thursday 11:45-5:30; and Friday I don’t have class! My weekends are completely free. Outside of those time ranges Monday-Thursday I am available to care for your pets! I am very clean and respectful when being in someone else’s home. Any directions you give me I will follow! If I have any questions I will be sure to clarify with you.

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!

Mike did a great job doting on our very neurotic cat. He managed to slip a pill into her food every morning, and stayed around for a bit so she could get a "second breakfast" afterwards. He even got to pet her occasionally, something only a very select few can say! Fountains were kept filled, cat box was clean, and bowls weren't overflowing with stale, dried up food. Definitely recommend!

Abby is a wonderful sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of at home. Not only did she take care of my baby Smoky, she brought in our packages, took our trash to the curb, and cleaned up a spill in our kitchen; all things that were way out of the spectrum of caring for our kitty! Thank you so much Abby for taking such great care of Smoky. We hope that you can visit again soon over the summer!

This was my second time asking Susannah to watch my cat. My cat loved her the first time and this time was no different. Susannah was prompt with communication about her visits. She sent photos and made sure my cat got to play, eat, and drink regularly. I have no qualms about Susannah watching my cat and think she would be an excellent sitter for other cats and dogs.

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 .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
