About: I am a corporate gal with a work from home job who loves pets of all types and sizes. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, and chickens and have spent time volunteering at animal shelters and caring for others’ pets since I was very young. I work from home, so my schedule is very adaptable. I take meetings or draft documents all day, with plenty of breaks in between for play time, potty time, or exercise for your pets. Since I am home with your pet while I work, they will be very well supervised. I have experience working and living with escape artists and know how to handle sneaky little friends!
About: I’ve had animals of all kind my entire life, from guinea pigs to pugs to rescue mixes, and everything in between. I’ve worked as a professional dog walker caring for up to 8 dogs at a time. I take great pride in treating all of the animals like my own! My goal is to work in pet care full time! I’m available Monday through Friday, any time between 8am and 5pm. I am also available on weekends if communicated in advance. I tailor my care to each pets individual routine to maintain consistency and minimize their stress. I am comfortable greeting dogs who have free rein of their home or dogs who are crated during the day. I would love to take your pet for walks, to play in a nearby park or yard, or just stop in for potty and snack breaks - whatever they need!
About: I grew up with dogs, either my own or friends, we took in fosters when we could. My sisters current dog is very nervous of people, but I was able to gain her trust easily by being a calm and understanding person. I am able to do it after work on weekdays and at any time on weekends. I can also do drop ins during my lunch depending how far they are from my work. I am able to play with dogs the way they like, or just spend time calmly with them. I can meet their needs how it best suits them.
“Metehan and Aya took great care of Mia and Mars. Aya shared videos and pictures for update everyday. Both our kitties quickly found their favorite spot and stayed comfortable and relaxed. Thank you!!”
“Our request was very last minute and Michaela was nothing but flexible and attentive to our cats needs. The meet and greet was really reassuring and her communication was great, we felt at ease knowing there was someone there for their feeding and litter care. I will definitely book with her again!”
About: From neighborhood animal care to volunteering at local animal rescues, my passion lies in animal welfare and caregiving! I'm looking to reconnect with a local animal advocacy scene and provide my services to anyone who may need help with their four-legged loved ones. I'm a remote employee, so I'm able to work from anywhere that has WiFi! Based in Melrose, MA, I look forward to reconnecting with my roots as a Boston native and help assist with your fluffy friends! ☺️ I have reliable (and pet friendly) transportation for anything your pet may need: a walk in the park, a trip to the lake or emergency vet care. I highly encourage pet owners to provide me with the names of their vets and emergency contacts for the duration of the animal's care.
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!
“Gulnoza provided a warm and safe home for our cat while we were away for a few days on holiday. We were nervous since Mila is usually sensitive but we were given several videos and photos of her each day with recaps so we never missed her. We could see how much love and care she received while we were away. I would definitely recommend this family to care for a cat!”
“Khila was an excellent cat sitter. she was thoughtful with the pictures and updates and grateful for her flexible pick up/ drop off times. If i need a sitter in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to book with Khila!”
“We could not have put our two cats in better care! Chasstity completely put our worries at ease! She kept us posted with constant updates and let us know if anything was off as both our cats were in the midst of a little world tour! I hope to reach out to Chasstity for pet care needs anytime I’m in Boston again and cannot reccomend her services enough !”

Anny was absolutely wonderful! She communicated clearly, was incredibly reliable, and took such great care of our cat, Milo. I’m very particular about who I trust with my cat, so it meant a lot to feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. She was attentive, caring, and clearly treated Milo like her own. I would absolutely book with Anny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter! Thank you, Anny!
I’ve trusted Monica more than once, and she is truly a wonderful pet sitter. She treats both your home and your pets as if they were her own, with so much care and love. It's such a comfort knowing everything is in great hands while you're away. I highly recommend her, and I will definitely continue to be a repeat customer!
Heather took such great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for 2 weeks! She made sure they got cuddles, food and play time and she helped with keeping them cool during heat waves. We felt very comforted knowing our boys were so well looked after. Heather is the best!!
Ayfer is incredible! She's been so reliable and personable. Even our anxious cat loves her! We can really relax when we know Ayfer is with our furry family. She's also great with medication and just being a warm presence. Super responsive and sends incredible videos and pics!
Caroline was great! She came for a meet and greet to meet our kitties before the drop in sessions. I forgot to provide instructions for the lockbox and she was easy to work with the clarify. She was caring and followed instructions for our kitties. Already rebooked :)
Nicole continues to be the greatest cat sitter ever. We have booked her many times and trust her completely.

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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
