“Bridget did amazing with our animals! She kept in contact and sent photos after each drop in and took great care of them. We are so appreciative that we didn’t feel like we had to worry about them while we were away.”
“Sara is punctual and reliable. My 3 month old puppy is so much happier when we get home from work after Sara drops by and takes her outside and plays with her.! Sara does a great job!”
About: Hi👋 I'm Jill. I grew up on a farm and have always been around dogs & cats. I currently have two cats of my own. They were both strays and came into my life at different times. I love interacting with all types of animals. Since I can't have a dog of my own yet due to living situations, I would love to take care of yours! My sister and brother in-law have two dogs that I watch when they go out of town. One is a bigger 70 lbs Australian Shepard and the other is a smaller 10 lbs toy poodle. I hope to bring peace of mind to you and happiness & excitement to your pets. I work full time, but am available anytime on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays most weeks. 6 a.m. is the earliest I'm available and 10:30 p.m. is the latest. Availability breakdown: Sundays- Before 11 a.m. after 5:30 p.m. Mondays- After 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays- 6 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. (Anytime) Wednesdays- After 3:30 p.m. Thursdays- 6 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. (Anytime) Fridays- Before 8:45 a.m. after 7:30 p.m. Saturdays- 6 a.m. - 10:30 p.m. (Anytime) My two cats are grazers so they get fed twice a day and eat when they get hungry. They have a water fountain that circulates the water to mimick a stream. They seem to enjoy moving water better than still standing in a bowl. When I watch my sister & brother in-laws dogs I take them for walks twice a day and we play & cuddle. I work on tricks with them too. I normally use their dry food as treats if we work on tricks for a while.
About: We love dogs in our house. We've had 3 dogs of different sizes at one time. I loved going for bike rides with my Husky and my Border Terrier. Now we have a small Border Terrier named Indy. I love training dogs to do tricks, and just cuddling up in bed or the couch. Your dog friend will be have a blast with us and get all the love. I particularly like large dogs and I don't mind them jumping on me when they're excited, they just think they're little in their heads. My kids, of course, like the little ones and are always ready to play and be gentle with the little guys. Your dog will be just one more family member to us. I work from home, and I can take frequent breaks for walks, playtime, potty breaks. I rarely spend more than a couple of hours out of the house if I do go out. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel safe and cared for. I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding, exercise, medications, and enrichment. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure the space is pet-proofed, monitored, and filled with love and positive attention. I believe in earning your pet’s trust through patience and consistency, and I always treat them like part of the family.
“Holli did a great job of caring for our pets and home while we were gone. If she had a question she didn’t hesitate to ask for clarification. We will definitely be requesting her to watch our pets in the future!”
“Brett was wonderful and very punctual. I have an extremely large dog and he handled him like a pro. They are best buddies now! Thank you, Brett for taking such good care of my big baby!”
“Samantha goes above and beyond watching my baby girl Missy. ! I know I never have to worry when she's with her. She always keeps her normal routine and for a dog parent that always worries about my pet, she sends us numerous check in pictures and videos and lets us know how she's getting along with the other pup. Really recommend Samantha and her family!..”
“Once again my fur baby loved every bit of Taylor loving and caring for him. Our fur baby is spoiled he prefers to stay home. It’s such a relief to know we can be worry free while away.”
About: Life is just better with animals and I love having them around! Overall, I have around 15 years of experience caring for pets through helping family, friends, and neighbors with pet sitting, check-ins, walks, feeding, and companionship in general. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is more of a passion and less like work to me. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would give my own. I also understand the stress of trying to find the perfect sitter when you’re going out of town as I, too, have gone through it many times. That’s another reason why I decided to finally get on Rover, so I could be the dependable and loving pet sitter that folks are looking for. I do have extensive experience with both younger pets and seniors (mostly dogs and cats) and of course have a special soft spot for the older fur babies who require a gentleness that I’m very used to giving. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply having someone reliable nearby, I’m happy to provide dependable and loving care you can feel confident about. Our pets have always been treated as part of our family and the second your fur baby is in my care (via a walk, sleepover, or check-in) they will be treated like family too. I work full time but have a wonderfully flexible schedule. Tuesdays and Thursdays I work from home so I get extra time to hang out with fur babies at my house and on the weekends I am also available! On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I get home from work between 4pm-5pm but can always leave earlier if need be. I love going on walks in the morning and at night (and during lunch time if I’m working from home) so if I had a pup with me and they like walks too, I’d love to add a companion to my walks!! I have a fenced in back yard and 1 indoor male cat named Pancake. My cat is very sweet (and neutered) and gets along great with other animals but we can absolutely separate if that would work best. I have no children so it’s just me, the cat, and my wonderful (animal loving) boyfriend of 9 years! We are about as stable as it gets lol. We have a couple empty bedrooms that your pet could stay in or be crated in if you prefer that they have some privacy and alone time (totally up to you but the option is there if they need quiet time). Overall though our home is pretty quiet and loving. No crazy noise - just two people and a cat who have lots of love to give other animals!
“Rachel provides weekly care for our dog and is always punctual. She provides excellent feedback, responds quickly, and is patient with our nervous dog, giving him the space and understanding he needs.”
“We were very grateful to have Greta look after our cats while we were away. She stopped by twice a day, asked questions for clarification, and even brought in mail and packages for us. We will definitely ask her to help out in the future.”
“We will absolutely use Angela again next time we go out of town and can’t take our pups! She was very communicative with each visit and we really appreciated that after our last time using a different person that left us worried. Our dogs took to her (and her sons!) right away and seemed to have fun playing on their visits. Thanks again 😊”
“Alicia was communicative and punctual with her visit. My cat gets lonely on his own, and she sent me pictures of him looking very happy having some playtime and a belly rub (his favorite). She adhered to the instructions I left for her and she was caring and attentive. I came home to a happy cat and that makes me happy! I have already booked Alicia for a future visit and I can enjoy my vacation knowing my cat will be well taken care of.”
About: I've had dogs growing up, currently have 2 dogs back home and my roommate has a cat here in my dorm. I love both and have walked my older dog since I was a little kid. I am a full time student but am always looking for things to do between, before or after classes. I'd be sure to be avaliable weekends and any days I don't have class. I can always go visit to take care of your animal(s), while I cannot offer assistance in my residence, I will always help out by walking or making frequent visits.

Bridget did a wonderful job taking care of my baby Chewy. He is really nervous and jumpy with strangers and she earned his trust in the end. She was very patient and gentle with him and made my trip a lot less stressful knowing she was there. This was my first time ever leaving him without a family member so I was really stressed and worried. She took great care of him and my home and I’m very grateful, I will definitely be booking with her again if I ever need to. Thank you Bridget!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in South Shore on Rover is $15.54 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,225 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across South Shore. 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.
