“Ashley was fabulous with our 2 high energy kitties. She gave them lots of love and they seemed to have a lot of fun playing with her. We will absolutely have her watch them again!”
“Katherine was able to accommodate a pair of last minute drops-ins for me. My cats were very happy and relaxed when I returned. She followed all instructions and is good about communicating. Thank you again Katherine!!!”
“Erin was fantastic! She was so communicative and did a great job following every instruction perfectly including giving my cat her medication. She sent lots of photos and updates and made everything so easy. I’ll happily book with her again.”
“I left my kitty for the first time and Andrew was so amazing! Even though my cat is a little anxious and not used to other cats, I saw she had a great time through regular updates and the instagram!! She looked happy and comfortable the whole time and I couldn't have been happier :)”
“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!”
“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!”
“Kaitlin is amazing with any and all animals. My dog just loves her to pieces! She is so thorough and caring towards animals. I am able to fully feel at ease with kaitlin walking my dog. She sends lots of pictures and updates. Kaitlin will be my go to dog sitter! Thank you!”

“Emily is fantastic! She is so personable and a great communicator, taking lots of photos and updates for us of our cats. I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 14 for family, friends, and for friends of friends. I absolutely love all animals and would be thrilled to care for your pets and to treat them like my own I currently WFH full time. I have availability in the mornings and evenings as well as during lunch breaks and the occasional odd hours during the day given some notice. I am also available on the weekends. I live in an apartment where pets are certainly welcome for visits for shorter periods of time, but unfortunately it isn’t the best space for overnight stays. When it comes to your home, I am more than happy to follow any and all special rules or routines you and your pet have!
“Lauren is reliable and follows directions perfectly. She has been so, so kind to my doggie, and I'm definitely booking her again when I need an extra hand to play with and walk my pup.”
“Michelle is an AMAZING sitter! She got my shy cat to feel comfortable with her in a very short amount of time! She’s very thorough and intentional with her visits and helps you feel comfortable getting away for a bit:)”

“Macy did an amazing job watching my cat Ivy! Very attentive, followed instructions clearly, and went above and beyond when asked to do extra! I highly recommend her services and I will definitely be re-booking with her in the future :)”
“Tommy was wonderful with our two cats. They were especially patient with our elderly cat who needed more time to eat. They took their time feeding and playing with the cats, made sure the doors were locked, and were kind enough to bring in any packages that were delivered when we were gone. Would definitely contact again next time we need a sitter.”
“Alissa was great with Phoebe. She was very communicative and went above and beyond to make sure Phoebe was comfortable while I was away. Definitely recommend!!”
About: I’ve been caring for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs & cats for about 3 years, and I love working with pups of all sizes and energy levels. Whether it’s a brisk walk, a long adventure, or just giving them some extra attention, I’m all about making sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved. I work from home so my schedule is flexible for walks, check-ins, etc. I enjoy mid-day lunch time walks during the week but I’m available in the mornings and some evenings as well. I’m also available some weekends. I work from home and have one roommate who is often out of town. I can easily watch your dog for a few hours to over night if needed. I’m always respectful of your space if you prefer someone to stop by and check in with your pet.
“Emily did such a great job with Ziggy and Smokey! She was consistent, attentive, and super communicative. I felt like my babies were loved and well cared for while I was away.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - South Boston
Lily did a great job watching my cat, Bogey! She writes very detailed notes, sends lots of pictures and follows instructions to a T! She even went the extra mile watering my plant that she saw looked wilted and took out the trash. I can rest easy on vacation when I know Bogey is in Lily’s care! Thank you so much!
Could not speak more highly of Jenin!! She is incredibly thoughtful, empathetic, trustworthy and knowledgeable. Her notes were fun to read but also provided the essential information to know that my cat was safe, healthy and happy. Lots of photos were appreciated! Would definitely recommend Jenin 10x over!
This is our third time booking with Sarah and we couldn’t be happier with her services! She takes excellent care of our two cats, even our skittish boy is in love with her. We look forward to her photos and stories of our kitties after each visit. Highly recommend Sarah to care for your pets!
Chassity took amazing care of our two cats while we were on vacation. She was great with both cats, followed our instructions to a t, and kept us consistently updated with photos and the rover card for every visit. It allowed us to enjoy our vacation more knowing that Louie and Vuitton were well taken care of.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in South Boston is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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. 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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
