“On time, sent pictures, Katie loves her, she was able to help very last minute and went above and beyond. We couldn’t have asked for better service. Will be definitely asking for Kristen’s services again!”
About: I currently have 2 cats and I have had experience pet sitting a variety of pets (dogs, cats, birds). I have also fostered dogs including puppies. I’m looking forward to meeting your pets! I am a current grad student pursuing my MPH. My calendar is always updated so feel free to send requests and we can figure out a time that works for both of us! I will always respond to messages as soon as I can and stay in communication as well:) I cannot board any animals at my own place but I am happy to come by and walk/spend some time playing with your pet! Please let me know if there is anything I need to be aware of or any house rules! Also for any dogs that I am taking out on walks please let me know ahead of time if they are okay greeting other dogs or if we should keep some distance for everyone’s safety:)
“This was the second time Julie watched my cat Nani, and she was just as amazing as before. She’s easy to communicate with before and during. I came home to a very happy cat! Also, the photos she sends are so good :)”
“Jennifer took great care of our cats, who were in a complicated situation where they couldn't be allowed to see each other while we were away. Jennifer handled everything like a pro and we are so grateful. Thank you so much!”
“Nick was great with our cat Delilah! He was very professional and came and met her ahead of time. She was very comfortable with him as we saw through many cute photos! We would definitely book with Nick again.”
“Marlee is trustworthy and reliable. Thank you Marlee for taking such good care of our 2 kitties! Our shy Lila warmed up to you on day one (our Olivia has always been the social one), and to us that's plenty of proof of your abilities:) We will book your kind services again.”
“Anne-Marie was absolutely wonderful. I met her for the first time just before leaving on an 11 day trip, and I was pretty nervous because I’d never left my pets for that long before. She immediately put me at ease. It was so clear from the thoughtful updates and photos she sent that they were happy, comfortable, and genuinely enjoying her company. Knowing they were being so well cared for allowed me to fully enjoy my trip without worrying. Anne-Marie is incredibly thoughtful, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets. She truly went above and beyond.”
“Allie was wonderful taking care of my cat! She came over to meet him before taking care of him and was so warm and friendly. She was communicative and consistently gave great updates. Allie fed the cat, gave him insulin, and took care of his litter boxes and water. She also spent lots of time with him, which I really appreciated! Allie was great and I definitely recommend her!”
“These gals are amazing! My puppy loves them. They always leave a great review of their tone with Cai, and the best pictures. Thank you Meagan and Morgan loving my pup and taking such good care of him!”
“James was an excellent caregiver for my cat. He came over early to see the house and meet Finbar, sent nice updates and pictures. I would be happy to use his services again.”
“Katherine was genuinely kind with my cat such that my cat became friend with her so quickly and completely. Also, Katherine followed my instructions accurately which made me confident that my cat had a great visit.”
About: Hi! I'm a recent graduate who lives with a senior cat; I have a lot of experience with senior pets, special needs pets, medication administration, etc. I'm able to exercise with and play however your dog likes! I've been pet sitting and walking dogs for my friends and family (and Wag!) for over a decade (dog in the profile picture is my brother's dog Kuma!) Pets bring me so much joy and I want to help take care of them as a community effort :) I'm here to build trust, please ask any questions 🫰 I am a gig worker currently, therefore very flexible—request me and there's a high chance I'll be available! I'm around weekends and weekdays, my own cat has plenty of alternate caregivers. I would not be able to host pets in my home, but would follow any rules at clients homes to make pets feel safe and regulated :) consistency helps them and me!
“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.”
“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 .”
“If you need someone for your furry family members, you have to choose Madison! My not so friendly shiba took to her on their first visit and it was such a relief, animals really do know who the good ones are. Thank you so much Madison!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Roslindale
Ann-Marie was so wonderful I can’t say enough good things. If anyone knows me they know my cat is my whole world, so it takes a lot for me to trust someone with her. Ann-Marie was so attentive, kind, and understanding and gave daily updates with photos to really put my mind at ease. I would book with her again in a heartbeat!
Highly recommend Marie! This was our first time using Rover and leaving our cat alone since adopting him and we felt so comfortable the entire time. She was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to handle our cat’s complex feeding routine, give him cuddles and play time, and take care of the litter box and water. Thank you so much Marie!!
As always we feel very comfortable with Aly taking care of our, now senior, cats. There was a smoke alarm ringing when Aly came into our house on one of the days to care for the cats. She quickly figured out it was a false alarm, was able to contact our son, and get the alarm taken care of. We are so grateful for her quick thinking and resolution of the problem. Thank you Aly!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Roslindale on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,086 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Roslindale. 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 Roslindale. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
