“Karina is the best pet sitter! She was so thoughtful of my cat’s needs and so helpful by being flexible with check-in times and bringing in packages! I’ll definitely re-book with her 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 years of experience providing reliable and attentive care for dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with daily routines such as feeding, walking, playtime, litter box care, and general supervision, and I take pride in making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work fully remote, which gives me flexibility to step out during the day for dog walks, check-ins, and pet care. I’m available for daytime walks on weekdays as well as evenings and weekends by request. I prefer clients who are within walking distance or easily accessible by the red line. I’m happy to come by to care for your dog or cat, check in on them, and take them out as needed. I require a meet-and-greet with all dogs ahead of time to make sure it’s a good fit for both of us and to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable.
“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”
“Megan was great and very easy to communicate with. She was able to watch my cat on short notice, which I really appreciated. I came home to a happy and healthy cat and would definitely book with her again.”
About: I often take care of my friends’ pets while they are away. These are mostly small dogs and cats but love every size and type of animal. I love researching different breeds to ensure they get the best care that they need! I currently work full time in the Seaport weekdays from 7am-3pm. I live close by in South Boston and commute daily by either walking or biking. I’m mostly interested in walking. My apartment is small so I would only be able to care for small animals for a short period of time.
“Kiara was fabulous! Very communicative and did such a great job taking care of my cat Bruce. She definitely help to ease my nerves. Kiara went above and beyond and I feel so lucky I found her. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Jennifer was a fantastic sitter for my scaredy cat. He warmed up to her right away and she was very responsive & observant to his needs. We'd definitely be happy to have her back again!”
“emily is an excellent cat sitter! my very shy guy warmed up to her quickly. you can tell she truly loves animals. her updates and photos are great and she is reliable and extremely communicative. will definitely hire her again. thank you emily!!”
About: I’m a devoted cat owner to my orange boy, Matisse, who I’ve raised since he was a kitten. I also volunteer weekly as a “feline friend” at a local animal shelter, where I care for and socialise cats with a wide range or personalities and comfort levels. I regularly cat-sit for neighbours too, so I’m comfortable stepping into an established routine and making sure cats feel settled while their owners are away. I know how reassuring it is to have someone looking after your cat who genuinely pays attention, so I’ll send plenty of photos and thoughtful updates while you’re away! I work full-time from home, which gives me flexibility to fit local visits into my day. I can accommodate morning, lunchtime and evening visits into my routine. Pet care is already a regular part of my routine through caring for my own cat, so I know what’s involved! I know how important it is to keep cats as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow feeding and care instructions closely, refresh water, clean litter boxes and make plenty of time for enrichment. Typically this looks like a drop-in session but I’d be happy to stay overnight if that is the preference.
About: Hi! I'm Grace. I live in Southie with my fiancé and have always been an huge animal lover. While living in NYC I got involved with the rescue Best Friends and since moving to Boston last year I have become an active foster through Last Hope K9 Rescue. Between fosters, l'd love to spend some of my free time walking pups in the neighborhood! My on top of my own experience - my dad is a retired veterinary and growing up we always had 3+ animals at all times. I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors, pets with disabilities, and pets who needed extra care while they were sick. If you're in Southie, seaport, or South End and are looking for someone to walk your dog, I'd love to meet you and your pup! I work from home most days and tend to have a lot of free time in the day to offer. I also am an active foster with Last Hope K9 so looking to take some pups on walks when I’m not actively fostering. I typically will not offer to have pets stay at my house as I am active foster and will only be doing rover when I’m on breaks.
“Chassity was an amazing sitter for both of my cats! I can tell she has great experience with animals and is very loving to them. We felt very comfortable leaving our boys with her and have already booked her again”
“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 :)”
About: I work a very flexible schedule which allows me to be readily available during the week, especially afternoons and nights. I have had dogs and cats my whole life, and have a special place in my heart for corgis! I have a personal vehicle if needed. I’m currently working very early mornings and am usually available after 2pm most days. Id love to board, house sit, and walk for your pets. I have a fenced in backyard that is active with smells and a nice oasis for your pets in the city. I keep my apartment to a very clean standard. Clear space for pets of all kinds.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - South Boston
Jenin was absolutely wonderful with Ursus! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was attentive, reliable, and caring throughout the entire time we were away. She made sure Ursus was well taken care of, kept his water and food in check, cleaned his litter box, and took the time to play with him and give him affection. We especially appreciated the updates and knowing that Ursus was in such good hands while we were traveling. It gave us so much peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend Jenin to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. We would happily book her again!
Ally was absolutely wonderful! She was super communicative, responsible, and clearly took such great care of our girl. Our cat clearly loves her, which says everything. We felt completely comfortable knowing she was in such good hands and would happily book with her again. Highly recommend Ally to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!
Ashley was fantastic with our two cats, Pepper and Alfie! She was incredibly dependable, always right on time, and great about keeping us in the loop while we were away. She also took some genuinely great photos of the cats — not just the usual quick check-in pictures! It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. We’d happily book with her again!
Janelle was amazing. I can’t recommend her enough! She was absolutely amazing with my kitties and went above and beyond the entire weekend. She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and thoughtful, and I always felt at ease knowing they were in such good hands. She sent tons of pictures, videos, and detailed updates, which I really appreciated and looked forward to receiving. It was clear how much care and attention she put into looking after them. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust with my cats and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
We rebooked with Adam to take care of our two cats while we were away for a week. Adam is the best! He always keeps me in the loop during each visit and he goes above and beyond. He not only makes sure they’re fed but he spends extra time playing with them. We will definitely be rebooking with Adam again soon!
My cat is extremely shy with strangers. With previous sitters, he'd hide the entire visit and they'd barely catch a glimpse of him. With Naomi, it's a completely different story — he genuinely adores her. She's patient, gentle, and lets him come to her on his own terms, and he clearly feels safe with her. For anyone with a timid or anxious cat, I can't recommend Naomi enough.
Maya was an awesome cat sitter! She did everything we were looking for and took such great care of our cat. She was very caring, attentive, and great with communication, which made us feel comfortable while we were away. We really appreciated her help and would definitely book her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in South Boston is $26 per visit as of November 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,566 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 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.
