Drop-In Visits in Boston
Your pet stays home, a sitter drops in for the essentials
Drop-in visits are the fastest-growing pet sitting service in the US, and for good reason: they keep your pet in their own home while a verified sitter handles the essentials, feeding, water, litter, walks, medication, play. For Boston households, that means your cat keeps their own routine, your dog stays in their own neighborhood, and your multi-pet home keeps its own rhythm, with photo updates after every visit and no commute, kennel, or boarding facility involved.
Petme connects Boston pet owners with verified, background-checked drop-in sitters across Back Bay, Beacon Hill, South End, South Boston, and every other major neighborhood. Owners pay 0% commission, the per-visit rate you agree with your sitter is the full price. Cashback compounds with every completed visit. And the Protection Plan can contribute up to $22,000 toward eligible vet costs for emergency care, useful coverage in any major US metro.

I've spent years raising a super high-energy, reactive husky mix, and volunteering in shelters, so I'm used to handling 'spicy' cats and anxious dogs with a lot of patience.
