“Bridget did an awesome job on a last minute booking! She had creative ways to engage my cat and she took amazing photos. Will definitely use her services again.”
“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.”
“Working with Sara was a great experience! She communicated really well and we really enjoyed the pictures she sent of our two cats, Jack & Chico. I would use definitely use Sara again!”
“Colleen was an amazing cat sitter. Her experience with cats and how to make them feel comfortable with her as a strange new person was readily apparent. One of my cats had recently come home from the hospital with a feeding tube because he wasn't eating on his own. He needed to be tube fed multiple times a day and was still struggling a little, needing extra care and monitoring to figure out how to adjust things. Colleen went above and beyond in caring for my kitty (as well as entertaining my other kitty). She was fantastic about messaging me with updates throughout the weekend and talking with me to figure out how to best adjust things to care for him. I was very anxious at first leaving him, but Colleen did a great job of reliving my stress knowing he was being well looked after. I will be booking with her again (already have)!”
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.
“"Ella was amazing! She house-sat for us during an extended trip and took wonderful care of our two cats, plus she went the extra mile to feed our birds. We loved getting her pictures and updates while we were away. We came home to a happy house and well-cared-for pets. I highly recommend Ella!"”
“Taylor did a great job making sure Whiskey and Peter were happy and well taken care of while I was out of state getting married. I was a little nervous leaving them but Taylor really eased my worries, especially with the pictures she took of them! 10/10 would recommend Taylor to anyome!”
About: I've grown up around animals. Ive wanted a cat since I knew they existed, and since getting my first cat, I've taught him to sit, sit pretty, high five, and jump through hoops. Currently fostering a second with a compromised immune system, so I am no stranger to anxious pets, or pets with a complex care system. I work a part time job and have classes from 8-12 on Mondays and Wednesdays. Ive got my own cats, so ill spend at least hour and a half or so each day spending time with them and doing chores at home, anything else is free time to spend with your pet. Ive got lots of energy to play with your dog and love to cuddle. I can keep a steady schedule with food, bathroom, play, etc. Also able and willing to do grooming like tooth brushing, baths, and other procedures.
“5 Stars!!! I just wanted to say thank you! We came home to find a happy and healthy kitty! Cheryl made our trip stress free with daily check ins and pictures updates! Loved the whole experience! We will use Cheryl again next time we travel!”
“2nd time having Taro take care of our 2 babies and he did a fantastic job! We were gone for 2 weeks for our wedding and we knew out 2 kitties were in good hands! We will for sure reach out to Taro again should we need a cat sitter!”
“Kayla was absolutely amazing! She was able to watch our two cats on short notice and came by the house a few days beforehand for a meet and greet. Kayla was so kind and easy to communicate with. She sent pics and notes during each check-in, which was much appreciated. I highly recommend!”
About: I am a huge animal lover I play with my dogs all day long. I love to take them on walks, I have a small kiddie pool my dogs love to play in, and boxes full of dog toys. I would be very attentive and love to pet sit. Any job taking care of animals is my dream job! I’m home all day long and have a very active lifestyle so I’m very confident if I pet sit that the animals would all have a wonderful time together. My dogs are very friendly and would love to have play dates with other pets so I think this would also be great for them and for me as well. I hope to hear from you all soon! :)

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.
