“Maria is a wonderful sitter! I feel so comforted knowing she’s with Cilantro while I’m gone. She takes great pictures and gives FANTASTIC updates that make you feel like you haven’t missed anything at all! Thank you Maria!”
“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!”
“Melissa did a great job taking care of my cat, Goofy while I was out of town over a weekend. She was very communicative and organized. She sent lots of photos during each visit update and went above and beyond the bare minimum. Goofy loved her and was very comfortable with her! I will definitely be booking her again!”

About: I grew up with 2 cats and a greyhound and have pet-sat and walked dogs for friends and neighbors from a young age. Throughout college, I volunteered in dog care at the local shelter, walking puppies and senior dogs alike. At the shelter, I also got experience in safely caring for dogs with behavioral challenges, such as resource guarding and dog aggression. Having worked as a vet assistant and being a current vet student, I am comfortable sitting for pets that need regular medications. I’m home for summer vacation! Without school, I have plenty of time to spend caring for your pets. I work per diem as a vet assistant, so I’ll keep my calendar updated as I pick up shifts. I’ll be leaving Boston again in mid-August. I am happy to care for your pets however you see fit! I can take dogs on walks or play with them in yards, and I can crate your dog if needed.
“Owen was very communicative, highly dependable, and did an amazing job with the cat visits. I highly recommend him and would definitely seek him out again in future”
“Juliet is amazing! She was super flexible and accommodated our last minute request. She took plenty of pictures and communicated with us throughout. We would trust her to take care of our Alfie any day!”
“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!””
“Julie was amazing with Charlee! They were on time, super friendly, and sent us great updates with photos during the walk. Our pup came back happy and tired, which is exactly what we needed. We felt so comfortable knowing Charlee was in good hands. We will definitely be booking again”
“Lisa checked in on my cat Keke on short notice and was wonderful! She gave detailed updates with lots of photos and I came back to a healthy happy cat! I could tell Keke loved playing with her! I highly recommend Lisa for your pet care needs. Thank you!”
“Ainsley was absolutely amazing. She was willing to change to 2 visits a day at short notice when our cat needed to have antibiotics while we were away, and she managed to give her liquid medicine, which is no small feat! We were so impressed with her communication and professionalism, and if she'll have us, we'll definitely book with her again!”
“Catherine was great with my two dogs! I have a lab mix who can be difficult with strangers and she didn’t have any issues with him. I would definitely request Catherine again!”
“We had an amazing experience with Haley! She was super easy to communicate with, provided lots of updated & photos which was so reassuring and was super flexible! Highly recommend - can’t wait to use her again!”

Caroline is an amazing cat sitter. She is communicative, kind, helpful, and very responsive. This was our first time using her and I was quite nervous as all our family around had been heading out of the country. Caroline put all my worries at ease! i highly recommend her!
I can’t recommend Jessica enough! Jessica did a great job taking care of our asthmatic cat, Cash, who needs medication twice daily. She was communicative, reliable, and friendly. Cash was clearly well cared for and played with for the 8 days we were out. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!
Kyle is a caring, communicative pet sitter who took wonderful care of our cats while we were away for 6 days. We really appreciate his flexibility and attention to detail. Our place was spotless when we returned, and, more importantly, our cats were calm - they acted as if we had never left! This was most likely due to the level of care (and love) he provided them. We really appreciate the effort he consistently made and will definitely rebook his services in the future.
We recently adopted a kitten who needed human socialization. We had Dunks on a good trajectory and Dani did a great job while we were on our trip. She also helped Logan, our older cat, feel like he was still important too! We came home to two incredibly happy cats!
This was my second time booking Gabrielle, and once again she took wonderful care of my cat, Kali. During the heat wave, she went the extra mile by making sure the AC was turned on when needed and even refilled Kali’s water bowl with ice to keep her comfortable. She even complied with some of my cats tantrums to keep her happy while I was away, and I was especially grateful that she was available over a holiday weekend. Thank you so much for taking such great care of her, I really appreciate it!
Katherine was attentive, communicative and overall very experienced with animals! She sent pictures and followed all our directions. She even went above and beyond by leaving ice cubes in our cats’ water because it was a hot day - such a nice touch. We have a super shy cat who usually doesn’t come out of hiding for strangers but he was out and about with Katherine! Will be hiring her again.
Karina was so great with Piper! I felt comfortable leaving her over a tricky 4th of July weekend and knew that my cat would be in great care with her. During the meet and greet, she asked great questions to make sure she was fully prepared in case of any emergency, and she was very easy to communicate with! We will definitely use Karina again!
Adam did such an amazing job taking care of our two cats for a long weekend. He arrived early to every visit to make sure the cats were fed on time. He kept me in the loop during each visit and sent many photos. He went above and beyond and emptied their litter boxes more than we asked so the cats felt comfortable. One of our cats threw up and Adam cleaned everything up and kept an eye on him to make sure he was okay! I trusted Adam during the whole process and will definitely be reaching out to him again. I highly recommend him!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in South Boston on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,836 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across South Boston. 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.

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.
