“This is my second time booking with Marizol and it’s no wonder she is a star pet sitter! Marizol is prompt, provides great pics, and shows my cat lots of love and attention! Love having her take care of TJ!”
“Meg was amazing! She stepped in last minute, was responsive and reliable, and clearly cares about the dogs. She asked great questions, sent updates and videos during her visits, and gave me total peace of mind. I’ll definitely book her again.”
About: I've been caring for animals for many years and have experience with a wide variety of species. I've been handling and looking after dogs and cats since I was 12 years old, giving me years of hands-on experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently have a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care while you're away. I'm currently taking some time between finishing graduate school and starting my postdoctoral position, which means I finally have something scientists rarely get—free time! I've decided to spend it doing something I genuinely enjoy: caring for animals. This flexible schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet, whether that's stopping by for visits, playing, feeding, administering medication, or simply keeping them company. I know every dog/cat has their own personality (from "cuddle enthusiast" to "please admire me from across the room"), and I'm happy to adapt to whatever makes them feel most comfortable. For me, pet sitting is the perfect way to combine my love of animals with helping fellow pet owners have peace of mind while they're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I understand that every cat is different, so I take the time to learn their individual personality, preferences, and daily routine to help them feel as relaxed as possible while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect both your home and your pet's established routine. I'll follow all feeding schedules, walks/litter box maintenance, playtime, medication instructions, and any special requests you have. I also make sure doors, windows, and gates are secure at all times and keep a close eye on your dog's/cat's behavior and well-being. I'm happy to provide regular photo and video updates so you can see how your dog/cat is doing and have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, cared for, and loved until you're back home.
“Suki took such great care of my two pups while we were away! She took them on very long walks too :) they had a great time with her and we can’t wait to use her again in the future!”
“Showed our cats lots of love! Was very thorough following our care notes and provided detailed notes afterwards! Absolutely would request their services again”
“Katelyn was easy to communicate with - asking questions to see what was okay or acceptable, not needing reminders of instructions, informative check in messages. All was orderly upon my return!”
About: Ever since working at a pet boarding kennel in high school, I have loved caring for others' animals. My friends regularly depend on me to check in on and spend time with their cats and kittens of varying ages. I work from home with a flexible schedule, and am happy to drop in when needed for feeding, play time, or anything your furry friend may need. When cat-sitting for friends, I love to spend as much time as I can with kittens who are used to more social and play time. I am beyond happy to give as many treats as you see fit and send videos of your furry friend while you're away.
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.
About: I’ve always had a dog in my life since I was born. I’ve been taking care of them for about as long as I can remember, whether they’re mine or a family/friend’s. I’ve trained my dogs and taken care of all sorts of age ranges, from puppies to 13+ year old dogs. I volunteer part-time so when I’m not volunteering, I try to take the time to do pet care. Since I have the free time, I’m doing it frequently. I have experience taking care of all kinds of dogs. I’ve given dogs meds, I’ve dealt with super hyper dogs that need to be walked for 2 hours to calm down.
“Alissa was great!! She took care of my cat Nino when I was gone and even though it was my first trip leaving Nino alone, I was so reassured with her on-time check ins and updates she sent! I would highly recommend her 😊”
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.
“I was so grateful to have had Tibisay watch my cats while I was out of the country for 2 weeks. From the sweet pictures and videos she shared to the way I found my cats when I arrived home, it is clear my cats were well cared for and loved while I was away. Thank you and I would recommend Tibi to other pet owners.”
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.
“Arianna took very good care of my two cats while I was away for a long weekend. She was very easy to work with and responded quickly whenever I reached out. She was fantastic at taking pictures and video and sharing them. I felt very comfortable having Arianna stay in my home and take care of my babies.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals, and I’ve always enjoyed spending time with them. I have experience in dog training, boarding, walking and grooming! I work in Charlestown from around 7am-4am every day! However I am fully free outside of work hours and can spend all this time with your fur baby :) I notice things in the pets environment that they’re used to or comfortable with, and I continue to implement it. It’s of upmost importance that a pet is comfortable, especially in their own space! When I was working as a dog trainer we learned how to notice when dogs are comfortable and when they are not.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Roslindale
This was the second time we had Cynthia look after our senior cats who need some special TLC and she was fabulous. She was quick to identify when we had forgotten to leave one of the meds on the counter with all the other supplies, reached out, and located it in our kitchen. I was confident she was taking great care of our girls while we were away!
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! :)
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!

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.
