“Jenica was amazing and so kind!! She took such good care of my cat Goose, sent lots of pictures and updates, and I had peace of mind knowing he was in good care. 10/10 would love for her to take care of him again!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for cats and dogs. I’m a cat mom since 2017, volunteer at a local cat shelter, and enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company. For House sitting: I usually do overnight stays from 9pm-9am with 1-2 hours flexibility range I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for your pet’s needs throughout the day. I’m happy to accommodate different routines and schedules, and I’m also available for evening, nighttime, and weekend care. I’ll work with you to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need! I live in a spacious apartment with plenty of room for pets to feel comfortable. I also have a separate room available for shy or nervous cats who may need a quiet space to settle in. When visiting your home, I’m always careful when opening doors and entering or leaving to help prevent curious cats or dogs from accidentally getting out.
“Maria was wonderful! Gave me great updates and took great photos! So happy Cilantro will have someone she knows coming back to play and take care of her!”
“Samantha has been amazing. From our initial meet and greet to multiple visits with my kitten, she has been thoroughly communicative, polite, and professional. She has great attention to detail and went above and beyond in providing updates. She even put the cat food away neater than I had left it for her. As a first time pet parent, I felt very comforted that my cat was in kind and safe hands. Beyond feeding, I mainly wanted a companion for my kitten as she is young, and Samantha played with all her favorite toys with her. I’d trust her with anyone’s pet, and I can’t wait to use her services again. Thank you Samantha!”
“Catherine was awesome with my kitty! Very communicative and I felt really assured he was in good hands. I would absolutely ask Catherine to watch my cat again!”
“Belen kept us updated with photos and videos when she checked on our cat Paddington while we were away. She was very responsive and Paddington seemed to like her a lot. We are very grateful!”
About: I have cared for dogs and cats throughout my life and grew up being responsible for their daily needs. In high school, I worked as a neighborhood dog walker, and throughout college, I provided pet-sitting services. I am also the proud owner of a senior cat, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and loving to care for your pets. I am currently employed full time, but I don’t work Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I’d be available for walking/pet-sitting for any weekend trips! I can easily follow owner’s instructions to maintain your pet’s usual routine, securing doors and gates, keeping harmful items out of reach, and even administering medications if needed. I provide regular updates so that pet parents can feel confident that their pet is safe and well cared for.
“We had just moved to Boston and needed a needed a dog-sitter on short notice for our Great Dane pup, Gordon, and David crushed it! He is super-patient and confident with our big boy and expertly communicative. David will always be our “go to!””
“Madison was fabulous. My husband and I last minute had to be away, and she came and walked our dog and took care of her very last minute. She was so easy to communicate with, so friendly, and provided updates. Would recommend anyone looking for a sitter or walker to use her!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Katherine and would absolutely recommend her. She came twice a day for a full week, spending an hour each visit, and was incredibly attentive to our cat’s needs the entire time. She made sure everything was taken care of, spent quality time playing with our cat, and clearly built a great bond with her. Our cat really loved her. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away knowing our cat was in such caring and capable hands. We would happily book with her again!”
“She was very good and everything was in order when we got back from our trip. She sent updates and never had any problems/missed a visit to feed our cat. Would book again!”
“Erika was so good great. I felt so comfortable with her checking in on my cranky munchkin cat. She sent lots of photos and stayed in communication with me the whole time. Thanks Erika!!!”
“Alex was conscientious and thoughtful cat-sitter, even finding our sneaky boys when they were hiding in strange places. Alex was also an excellent communicator, letting us know what was going on and asking questions when needed to ensure the best care. Always professional, kind, and careful, Alex comes with our full recommendation and we will be calling upon Alex’s services for future cat-sitting!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - South Boston
Serena is an excellent cat sitter who was willing to accommodate a last minute booking. She is very detailed in her updates on each session and was even willing to scoop litter and take out trash before we returned. She just clearly loves hanging out with cats and our boy loved his time with her. Highly recommend!
Gloria is so wonderful with Draco! It’s clear how much she genuinely loves and cares about him, and I always feel completely comfortable knowing he’s in such good hands while I’m away. I love getting her updates and photos and seeing how happy he is with her. We’re always so grateful for the care and attention she gives him!
Julia was wonderful with my cat, Draco! She really took the time to understand his personality, and it looked like he had so much fun playing and hanging out with her while I was away. She sent detailed updates after every visit along with lots of photos, which I really appreciated and made me feel great knowing he was happy and well cared for. I’d definitely book with her again!
Denise took care of my cat Néko right at home while I was away, and she was absolutely wonderful! 🐈⬛❤️ I loved getting regular updates and adorable photo check-ins! It gave me total peace of mind the entire time! Coming home to a happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for kitty meant everything. 🏠✨ Thank you so much, Denise, for your kindness and amazing care! I will definitely be booking with her again in a heartbeat! 🙌🎉

The average cost for Cat Sitting in South Boston on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.

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.
