“Lindsay took such great care of my cat Naomi! She was extremely professional and responsive, and she was so helpful even with some very last minute changes/housesitting needs that I was stressing over. Also had no trouble administering Naomi’s medication and was so attentive to her daily routine. I really appreciated all the detailed updates and cat pics!! I would happily have her catsit for us again :)”
“Suki took such great care of my two pups while we were away! She took them on very long walks too :) they had a great time with her and we can’t wait to use her again in the future!”
“Holden was an amazing pet sitter for our cat, Maribel! He was very responsive and replied to messages quickly. Maribel was quite shy but he made sure she felt safe, supported and had treats nearby to stay happy! We were so glad to find Holden to take care of our kitty and will surely book with him again and recommend him to anyone in the area with pets! :)”
About: I grew up in a home with dogs, cats, bunnies, hens and roosters. I have never lived without caring for an animal! I love being outside, going for walks, playing and gardening. I am a mom of two school-aged boys and a proud owner of two tuxedo kitties whom we adopted nine years ago. I work part-time in the afternoons as an outdoor preschool art specialist. I am free between 9:30 am, and 1 pm everyday, and Wednesday and Thursday until 3 pm! I may also have early evenings free starting at the end of June. I have plenty of time in my schedule to help you care for your animals. Looking forward to meeting them! I am fun, gentle, playful and caring, and have a good instinct for what dogs and cats need. I can read body language and am sensitive to energy. I look forward to learning more about your pets from you, getting to know them and forging a relationship.
“Jordan was amazing with my two kitties. She showered them with love and sent awesome updates. I have a cat who is super shy and she took to Jordan immediately.”
“Thank you so much Jasmine ! She took such phenomenal care of my cat , stayed the whole time to play with him , cleaned the litter box and went above and beyond . So trustworthy . Thank you again .”
About: Hi! My name is Sam. I live in Roslindale, MA and have had a lot of experience dog/cat sitting and caring for animals, and love any opportunity I get to spend with them.

I would be happy to schedule a meet and greet with you and your pet. All animals are welcome. My fully available days are Sunday-Tuesday. I do work an on-site job Wednesday-Saturday from 2:30pm-1am, but can work around this before & after my shift. Feel free to contact me! I have open availability Sunday-Tuesday for pet sitting. I can come to you and provide all types of services on short notice. On Wednesday-Saturday I am available from 11am-2pm. I can come to your home and provide exercise and play time with your pet in your yard and/or inside. I can do whatever is needed to keep them healthy and happy!
About: I’ve worked with animals for years—both personally and professionally. I went to an agricultural high school, where I took classes on animal behavior, hygiene, and training. I’ve cared for all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rodents, and farm animals. I've had my own dog since I was 11, and I’ve been pet-sitting since 2022, doing everything from walking and feeding to staying overnight and cleaning up messes. I'm comfortable working with puppies, senior pets, and high-energy or quirky personalities. Right now I’m watching two cats and an older dog, so I’m used to managing different routines and energy levels. I’ve also been a babysitter since I was 12, and I’m really patient, dependable, and easy to communicate with. I’m a commuter student living in Roslindale, MA. I have a super flexible schedule and lots of availability for walks, check-ins, and overnight stays. I’m a morning person, so I don’t mind early routines at all. I’m also familiar with Boston public transportation and love walking, so getting around without a car is no problem for me. I’m easygoing, organized, and happy to work with your pet’s schedule. When I’m caring for pets in someone’s home, I always aim to make the space feel peaceful and familiar for them. I follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure your pet gets both attention and downtime. I’m clean, respectful, and happy to send updates if you’d like. I’m used to staying overnight, walking dogs with different leash behaviors, and working with animals of all temperaments. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority.
“Winter was consistent about daily check ins on my two older cats while I was traveling and check ins always included a photo. They cleaned up any accidents but litter box clean out frequency didn’t always meet expectations. I was, however, always confident that they had food and water and consistent morning visits.”
“Sarina was incredibly friendly, caring, and easy to book with. She sent daily updates and pictures, which helped put a lot of worries at ease. Her cat Winnie is also very friendly, and I was happy to know my cat had a friend while I was away. Thank you Sarina!”
About: Preferred Name: Del I adore animals, and as far as I can tell the feeling is mutual. Roommates, partners, and friends are always impressed by how quickly their pets take to me and jokingly complain that I'm "stealing" them away. I've cared for pets in my family since I was 12. I'm an enthusiastic walker and I'm adamant about keeping cats and dogs stimulated with playtime. Currently between jobs so my schedule is very flexible. As such, I'm free to devote all I can to taking care of your lovely critters. I make visits and house stays as appropriate. Meticulous about following pet care instructions to a T as you know your pet better than I ever could. Will make sure that your pet is stimulated, fed, loved, and cared for so that your absence goes hopefully as unnoticed as possible.
“Amanda was wonderful with my kitty Steve! She was very communicative about when she was there, how he was doing, and what they did. Steve can be a bit of a butthead when it comes to new people but that did not matter and Amanda was great at accommodating him. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Maanya took great care of our cat! She made sure he was comfortable around her and he warmed up to her quickly. She also promptly responded to all my messages and requests. I highly recommend her!”
“Jordan was a great sitter while we were gone. He kept me updated with photos and notes and took great care of our kitties. He was very kind to our pets and respectful of our home, I would absolutely book with him again. Thank you Jordan!”
About: I have dog and cat sat for the past 7 years for multiple different families in the Yarmouth Maine area. I have been in different situations that have tested my abilities as a pet sitter. Dogs and cats immediately warm up to me. I currently work a full time job for a Doctor in the Yarmouth area. I can walk dogs after work most of the time. We sometimes don’t work at the office on Fridays so I would be able to walk dogs during the day. I can do overnight care, however I would only be able to feed / walk in the morning and evening before and after work. I am more flexible on weekends. Whenever I am caring for dogs I will keep them on a leash when I walk them. I make sure to follow the clients rules for their pet (feeding, care, and walking routine).
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in West Roxbury is $25

Marizol was wonderful with my two cats. She visited on schedule every day (breakfast and dinner), cleaned the litter and water bowls, and played with the cats a lot. She sent videos, and I could see that the cats were very comfortable with her. I will definitely be asking her back for future visits.
Lindsey took wonderful care of my soul kitty while I was away for 4 days. She sent pictures showing the progression of my babe warming up to her & even letting her hold & snuggle! My kitty does not warm up to everyone so it was very nice to know how safe & comforted she was the whole time I was away! Thank you again!
We chose Caleb because he was a cat-forward sitter, and he took great care of our special needs cat! She received plenty of attention and all of her medications as needed. Caleb shined even more caring for our aging and declining senior dogs who started needing extra attention as our trip came closer. We greatly appreciated Caleb and would happily rehire him!
Holden was an amazing pet sitter for our cat, Maribel! He was very responsive and replied to messages quickly. Maribel was quite shy but he made sure she felt safe, supported and had treats nearby to stay happy! We were so glad to find Holden to take care of our kitty and will surely book with him again and recommend him to anyone in the area with pets! :)
Lindsay was the first sitter we booked through Rover, and we absolutely loved her! She's incredibly thoughtful and paid close attention to every detail of care for our three cats, even the most nitpicky instructions I threw at her. She was also super responsive, so I never had to wonder how everyone was doing. She left our home exactly as she found it, which showed how much she cared about keeping the cats in a clean, comfortable environment. Lindsay truly cares about our cats, and that's what you want in a cat sitter. Highly recommend!
We are repeat clients of Caroline’s, and could not be happier with the care she provided to our two cats while we went on our longest trip away from them yet! As always, we received detailed updates and many photos each day. We are thankful that our boys were in such good hands!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in West Roxbury is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $46 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.

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.
