“I had been looking for a new sitter for my two cats and Bonnie recently watched them for a week and I couldn't be happier. She sent very detailed updates and videos and I could tell they were in very good hands. I'm very glad I found her!”
“Cierra was incredible. My cat has some gut issues and had some small accidents while I was away! Cierra was very communicative and helpful I would definitely recommend her”
“Natalie is incredible! She not only spends time with my kitties but makes sure they are healthy and happy! She is so helpful with my Socket’s medical needs and makes me feel comfortable knowing they are well cared for while I’m away. Thank you again for another wonderful visit!”
“I really appreciate Caitlin’s detailed check-in reports! It gives me so much peace of mind to know she is paying close attention to my cat’s demeanor and habits so that she can alert me if anything changes.”
About: I grew up with our own dogs as well as 25 foster dogs over the years. Five years ago, I adopted Eddie, my 14 year old chihuahua mix. In May, I adopted Dolly, my 10 year old Boston terrier mix. I’ve taken care of puppies, seniors, 110 lbs dogs, 10 lbs dogs, and everything in between! I’d love to be able to help you and your family. I’m a teacher currently on summer break, so my schedule is completely free for the summer. Once fall hits, I’ll still be available during the afternoons and on weekends. I truly think that owners know their dogs best, so I will take the lead from you in regards of what your dog expectations are. Each pet has different needs, so I’d like my care to reflect their needs and approach each situation holistically
“Lorena took great care of my cat while I was away. She shared photos of him and gave me updates via his visit card. She also communicated quickly leading up to the visit. I would book Lorena again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets all my life! Growing up with 2 dogs & 2 cats, working as a dog walker all through high school and college, and now being a proud cat mom of 2, I’m well versed with caring for animals! I also have experience administering medicine to cats, and giving daily inhalers as I do have an asmathic cat myself. I really understand the anxieties that come with leaving a pet, and will make sure they are well cared for, played with, and provide thorough updates & photos! I work from home and have a flexible work schedule, plus I have a car so getting to your home to care for your pets easily fits into my routine. I will treat your home as my own! I’m happy to take care of house sitting duties as well, like bringing in mail, taking out trash, watering plants- I can even feed your sourdough starter! I also will commit to fast response times, and prompt updates + photos!
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always been something I truly love. While I’m not able to have pets of my own right now, I’d love the opportunity to give that same love and attention to your pets! I work from home on a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility to provide walks, drop-ins, and plenty of companionship when I’m available. I’m also happy to care for pets on weekends when I’m around. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away — and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 I work from home on a hybrid schedule, which gives me a lot of flexibility to care for your pets throughout the day. On my work-from-home days, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and breaks for walks or potty time. I’m also available on weekends when I’m around and happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs. Since I’m currently unable to have pets of my own, I’m excited to use my flexible schedule to give your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve! Unfortunately, I’m not able to have pets in my own home due to not having a yard and living with people who have severe pet allergies. I don’t have any pet allergies myself, though, and I’m more than happy to travel to your home to provide care wherever your pets are most comfortable!
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and a healthcare professional with 30 years of experience as a dental hygienist. My work has taught me to be patient, attentive, dependable, and careful about following each person’s needs and routine. I bring that same thoughtful care to every dog walk. I enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs and will follow your instructions about your dog’s pace, route, and preferences. I’ll keep you updated with photos and let you know how the walk went. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I’m available for weekday walks and drop-in visits, primarily between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. I enjoy spending time outdoors and would love to make caring for pets part of my weekly routine. I welcome both occasional visits and regular clients, depending on availability. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. Before care begins, I’d like to learn about their personality, routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs. I will follow your instructions, keep dogs securely leashed on walks, and be careful with doors and gates. During visits, I’ll respect your home and provide updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing.
“Kat was great with Bella! Bella enjoyed the time that Kat spent with her. I enjoyed getting the pictures of Bella every time Kat came over while I was gone and seeing how happy Bella was! Thank you Kat for taking care of Bella and my mums!!!”
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, small mammals and reptiles for most of my life. I'm partial to dogs and rodents but I have a soft spot for all animals. Because pet care is my primary focus, my schedule offers exceptional flexibility throughout the week. I am readily available for regularly scheduled walks, midday drop-ins, and routine feeding sessions. Living and working locally in Somerville allows me to seamlessly adjust to shifting timelines and often accommodate last-minute visit requests for nearby clients. Whether providing care in your home or mine, my priority is keeping your pet's exact routine consistent, safe, and stress-free. I start by identifying the spaces and corners where they feel most comfortable and secure, allowing them to acclimate at their own pace. Once they are at ease, I engage them with their favorite toys—I especially love a high-energy game of tug-of-war with dogs of all sizes! I treat your home with the utmost respect, strictly adhering to your feeding, medication, and house rules so your pet feels completely safe in their natural environment.
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.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - West Medford
It can take Pico a couple visits to warm up to someone new giving medicine (this was her first visit with Courtney). Courtney gave us a detailed update, lots of photos, and gave Pico time and space to get comfortable with her. Would definitely rebook for future visits!
There are not enough amazing things to say about Dennis! My partner and I have never felt for comfortable traveling outside of the country with our two kitties at home. He was an amazing cat sitter and communicator throughout the long time we were away and both cats warmed up to him immediately. I HIGHLY recommend Dennis if you need a loving and attentive pet sitter!!
Sharon took great care of our two skittish cats during a 5-day trip. One of the cats requires daily medicine, which isn't always a simple task, but Sharon managed to administer the pill with no issues. We got updates for each of the two daily visits, and Sharon made sure to stay longer during one of the visits to give the cats some time to warm up to a new human. Sharon's regular updates and her experience with gently taking care of shy kitties and giving them medicine gave us peace of mind while traveling. We look forward to working with her in the future!
Isabel does a phenomenal job. My 2 cats just love her, I can tell. She plays with them and is a hard act to follow because even I don't play with them as much as she does. Isabel sends great photos and thorough reports on her visits. I have hired her in the past and will do so in the future. Thank you Isabel!
When I first booked Katie it was for a much longer trip (over two weeks) and I was wracked with anxiety leaving my bunnies for so long. Katie made me feel better, she was so attentive and commutative about everything! She even cared for one of my rabbits sore hocks daily. It’s obvious she loves your pets and the feeling is mutual. I look forward to working with Katie again in the future!
Mia was absolutely amazing with my kitty. She was patient and understanding when he was being shy, and took great care with his food and other needs while I was away. She sent updates and photos, kept the apartment clean, and has been just a pleasure to work with. I will definitely book her again.

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 .

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.
