“I went away for a long weekend and Caroline took care of my cats Ruby and Twigs. She fed them and played with them while she visited. Would be happy to have her care for them again.”
“Sanela was amazing! We have a super high energy young cat that needs a lot of play and she did an excellent job in playing with him until he was out of energy. She also did a great job with our older kitty who is all about his special morning soup! We are so happy we picked her and despite the older one not liking many people, he loved being around her immediately. And, even would pose for their daily photo shoot with her, they love her! She is a cat whisperer and we would 110% book again. She also has very reasonable prices for services which is great for our longer trips. And, very respectful of our house rules which is appreciated. Thank you, Sanela! The kitties thank you, too!”
“Leyna did a fantastic job! She was so attentive to details, thoughtful, and went above and beyond. Great with discussing medical symptoms, coordinating logistics, and more, and we returned to a spotless kitchen and healthy and happy cat. Can’t recommend Leyna enough!”
“Nina dropped in to take care of our cats twice a day while we were away and was so conscientious and reliable! One of our cats hides from visitors but Nina made sure to seek him out to make sure he was okay. Nina gave us confidence that our little beasts were in good hands so we could relax and enjoy our trip.”
“Angela was great with our cat Onyx! She was very nice to chat with during our meet at greet assuring me he would be well cared for during her check ins! We were very happy with the pictures and communication while we were away and will for sure be using her again in the future!”
“Paws and crab were well cared for. Suzie had a lot of meds to feed our senior cat. I had wonderful pictures of them playing. This was a twice a day commitment so I was very happy with Suzies time and care. I would highly recommend her.”
About: From neighborhood animal care to volunteering at local animal rescues, my passion lies in animal welfare and caregiving! I'm looking to reconnect with a local animal advocacy scene and provide my services to anyone who may need help with their four-legged loved ones. I'm a remote employee, so I'm able to work from anywhere that has WiFi! Based in Melrose, MA, I look forward to reconnecting with my roots as a Boston native and help assist with your fluffy friends! ☺️ I have reliable (and pet friendly) transportation for anything your pet may need: a walk in the park, a trip to the lake or emergency vet care. I highly encourage pet owners to provide me with the names of their vets and emergency contacts for the duration of the animal's care.
About: I am attentive and reliable when taking care of your cat(s). I’ve looked after cats of family and friends. I can provide the essential needs. I am currently working part-time. I am available Friday-Saturday Morning Window: open for both drop-offs and pick-ups from 7:00 am to 10:00 am Evening Window: Also open for drop-offs and pick-ups from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm I am open for walk-in’s: Thursday-Saturday 3pm-10pm I am also flexible, send me a message to work out a time that works best for you. I specialize in in-home cat boarding. I create a peaceful getaway where your cat gets my full attention. Since I do not have any pets of my own, your kitty will have total freedom to roam, lounge on the furniture, and explore my space without the stress of meeting other animals. I'll feed your cat, provide fresh water, and scoop the litter box on your cat's normal schedule to keep them comfortable. The 'Cat TV' Window: Giving your cat access to my large window with a wonderful view of the yard, which is perfect for bird-watching and sunbathing.
“Having someone experienced with giving cats inhalers was the most important thing, and Liz handled it perfectly. This was by far the easiest time leaving the cats alone for me: I trusted Liz completely. Super caring and devoted to making sure our cats had the best time.”
“Emily was great with Ivy and Darby. They both warmed up to her quickly and seemed content in the many excellent pictures that Emily sent each time she visited. Emily was very responsive and communicative, asking for clarification when needed, and giving them lots of loving care and attention.”
“Hillary was so great! Chloë loved her and I felt so reassured knowing she was well-cared for. Hillary spent quality time with Chloë and sent lovely, detailed notes and photos. Highly recommend!”
“Tawana did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Mimi! She arrived on time, made sure Mimi had food and water, and spent a lot of time playing with him. She also sent me plenty of photos and updates, which gave me great peace of mind. Most importantly, she went above and beyond by noticing that my electric burner was accidentally turned on—likely due to Mimi jumping on the touchscreen. This was a lifesaving moment, and I can't thank her enough for her attentiveness and care! Tawana is kind, responsible, and truly wonderful with pets. I felt completely at ease knowing she was looking after Mimi. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you again, Tawana!”
About: I've been around animals my entire life and genuinely love caring for pets of all ages and personalities. Whether they're energetic and playful or calm and reserved, I enjoy getting to know what makes each pet unique. I always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets throughout the day. As a single mom 50% of the time, my schedule is particularly flexible on my child-free days. I also love being outdoors, so getting outside for walks and exercise with pets is something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine stays as consistent as possible. In my clients' homes, I follow their pet's normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and lots of attention. I take time to get to know each pet's personality so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter approach, I tailor my care to their individual needs and treat them like part of the family.
“This is my third time booking Thomas and Emma to drop in on my cat Wokkles. Thomas is so patient and attentive, which is very appreciated especially for my shy and nervous cat. Absolutely recommended as a loyal customer!”
About: I have grown up with animals all my life! I first started walking my neighbors German Shepard when I was 12 years old and I grew up with three cats in the our household. I had my own dog Guiness who was a silly goofy boxer until last year. I’m comfortable around any size dog as well as cats I have a unique work schedule where I have pretty early shifts so please take a look before scheduling! I work Sunday 9am-3pm, Monday 7am-4:30pm, Tuesday 6am-3pm, Wednesday 7:30-3:30p as well as later a shift on Thursdays 12pm-8pm so I have availability most people won’t have with an 8am-5pm job. With working Sunday-Thursdays, I’m available all day On Fridays! When I had my dog this schedule was really nice so he would only be left alone at home for around 4 hours at a time. I know how important it is to make sure your pet gets their energy out and bathroom breaks when you’re not there. I make sure any environment I’m in is clean and pet friendly whether that means crating your dog if they need to be after visiting or making sure I’m aware of my surroundings in walks. My dog was reactive towards other dogs so I have experience with reactivity and will be aware of other dogs while on walks. During visits I would love to play with your pet with their toys, puzzles, or lick mats whatever they need I’m there! I do have experience giving dogs medication as well if that’s something you need! I don’t have experience giving cats medication.
“Selena is so amazing!!! We were so scared to leave Sokka since he hasn’t interacted with anyone but us and he’s a little scaredy cat and my baby. Selena made us feel super comfortable, though, and I trust her a lot! She was always on time, checked in with me, shared pictures, helped out with tasks she didn’t need to do, and communicated. She was on top of his special diet needs, and gave him all the exercise he needed. She did just an excellent job taking care of my Sokka, truly going above and beyond. I can’t wait to reach out to her when I need help next!”
About: For the last two and a half years I have been taking care and walking my families dog, and the amount of love and care she needs makes me even more eager to help out whenever needed because dogs and in general pets are a humans real companion. I have also recently took care my family friends two tall and fluffy poodles and it was the best 10 days of my life. I am a full time student, and have another part time job. I am very willing to walk your dog after school. I am also willing to wake up very early (about 6 am) to walk pets right before school starts. My weekends are often free and most times I’ll be available on every second weekend of the month after 5:30 pm. I unfortunately cannot have pets in the apartment I am living in currently. I would be very happy to get familiar with one’s home and see what also the dog’s needs may be and I’m willing to adjust to whatever a pet may need.
“Safyah was very attentive with Luna and Bliss during her drop-in sessions. She asked lots of questions during the initial visit and took lots of photos. It was great having her take care of the cats over the holidays.”
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Stoneham
Katina has been a delight and everything I needed. I had knee surgery and needed help feeding my cat, Max, plus he needs insulin injections twice a day. All of that went well because he absolutely loved her. Anyone could feel comfortable knowing their pet is in very capable hands. I feel like we have a new family friend. Karen O'Sullivan
Galina is caring, dependable, and incredibly attentive. I always feel completely at ease knowing my cat is in her care. She goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of, and it’s clear how much she genuinely loves animals. I highly recommend her!
Jillian took such amazing care of my two cats while i was out of country. She was so attentive and caring. She picked up on the smallest things and my cats loved her. I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone needed a caring, and compassionate person to watch over your pets.
Leyna did a fantastic job looking after our adorable cat, Luna! My partner and I were nervous because it was the first time we used a sitter that was not a family member, but our worries were instantly swept aside once we met Leyna. She is kind, professional, detail-oriented, and clearly loves animals. From our first meet-up, Luna took to Leyna and based on the adorable photos that were sent each visit, Luna only continued to feel more comfortable with her. Leyna also followed all of our instructions for care and was proactive about asking questions before we left on our trip to make sure she understood everything clearly. I would highly recommend Leyna for anyone looking for a pet sitter. ☺️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
