About: I’ve been in the animal care field since 2022 and have done a little bit of just about everything! Food and Supply sales, assistant grooming, dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits. In addition, I'm currently pursuing my associate's degree in animal care and have a wonderful 1-year-old lab/pitbull mix named Judy! I’m currently working part time as a dog walker, so my availability will be weekdays after 4PM until 10PM, and 8AM to 6PM on weekends (weekend sittings are available for full days on Sat/Sun) My yard unfortunately isn’t fenced in, so I always make sure my dogs are leashed and are wearing their collars with AirTags just in case. I don’t board dogs at my house due to the yard having no fence. When walking other dogs I always double clip their leash to their harness and collar.

About: Long term pet parent and lover of animals. I am known for adopting animals in need of homes. I have had 3 cats and a dog over the past 10 years and most recently a turtle. My dog passed away in 2025 from cancer and I miss having my buddy around. I am not ready for a new dog so I am happy to spend time with yours. I currently have 2 kitties at home, one of which is a blind 1 year old. I work from home most days, but do travel occasionally for work. Please feel free to reach out, I have time to spare. I'm happy to assist you and your furbabies. I work remotely from home during the week and have availability to pop over for a walk, bathroom break or food assist. Since I work from home they can even hang out with me all day. I have 2 cats who might be a little shy but are friendly. They have been around dogs and will hide if a dog is just too much energy. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for zoomies. I also have a crate, toys and bed for your dog.

Our kitties seemed very happy when we got home and felt that they were well cared for while we were away. Highly recommend Sheylah to sit your furry friends! and will definitely reach out to her the next time. Thank you! :)”

About: I’ve lived and worked with dogs my whole life; big and small, young and old, and a variety of breeds. I started walking friends’ and neighbors’ dogs on my own as a teenager, and I first stayed over as a dog sitter not long after that. Over the years, I’ve gotten quick at reading what a dog needs in the moment, whether that’s more physical activity, some quiet space, or just reassurance and time, and giving them exactly that. I’m comfortable handling the messier and more unpredictable parts of the job too, from accidents to nervous or anxious behavior, without missing a beat. More than anything, I love spending time with animals, and I can’t wait to build a real connection with every animal I work with. - Dog walker for 14+ years (more than 20 dogs, all sizes/ages) -Dog sitter for 10+ years (More than 12 dogs, including households with multiple pets, multiple night stays, familiar and first-time clients) I currently work part-time in a remote role, which gives me plenty of flexibility during the day/week to walk, feed, and play with dogs without any sense of time limitations. I’m available across weekdays and weekends, and almost any time of day, whether it’s an early morning walk, a midday check-in, or an evening stay. I care for your pets as if they are my own. My promise is to engage with your pet on your terms and with the utmost transparency and communication. I’ll follow the expectations you set (feeding time, walks, medications) so your dog’s routine is as normal as possible while you’re away. I will keep you in the loop throughout with updates, photos, and check-ins. This same care extends to your home, tidy, undisturbed, and just as you left it.

About: Hi there! 🐾 I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, reptiles, birds, and more! I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I work with animals of different personalities, temperaments, and care needs. My Rover journey began after losing one of my beloved cats, turning my love for animals into a meaningful way to help others. I understand that pets are family, and I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive, and personalized care while making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved like one of my own! ❤️ I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I’m home throughout the day and have plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and lots of attention. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends and holidays, and love having furry company while I work! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I try to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions while providing plenty of playtime, attention, cuddles, and outdoor time based on their individual needs. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and a large yard for supervised outdoor time. My goal is always to make your fur baby feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

Jordan spent quality time with Z, playing with her and giving her pets and snuggles within Z's boundaries. After a couple days Z started standing watch awaiting Jordan's arrival. That's how we know that Z was well loved!”

About: I have had dogs since I was born. My current dog, Ollie, is 1 year old. One of my previous dogs, who has since passed, had diabetes and required insulin shots and went blind but I took care of her for years after her diagnosis before she passed from natural causes. I love dogs, they make the world a brighter place! I work 3 days a week (or nights) so I have four days off a week. It can change depending on my schedule or I can request certain days off to fit someone else’s schedule with enough notice. I live in a house with several parks in the immediate area to keep your dog occupied! I have a lot of patience when taking care of dogs/puppies.

About: Hi! We’re dog lovers in Framingham who recently said goodbye to our beloved dog, Charlie affectionately known in our house as our “little girlfriend” and “Chuckie.” Caring for Charlie was such a big part of our everyday life, and while we’re not looking to bring another dog into our family right now, we realized pretty quickly how much we miss having dogs around the walks, the routines, the goofy personalities, the couch time, and all the little things that make every dog completely their own. That’s what brought us here. We know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. Our goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable and cared for while giving you the kind of communication we’d want ourselves. Expect plenty of pictures and updates we know how reassuring it is to actually see that your dog is happy while you’re away. We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal routine rather than expecting them to fit into ours. Whether they’re happiest taking a good walk, sniffing every blade of grass in the neighborhood, playing, hanging out on the couch, or just having someone nearby, we’ll meet them where they are. Most importantly, we’ll treat your dog like somebody’s family because that’s exactly what they are. What You Can Expect From Us For every new dog, we like to learn their routine, personality and preferences beforehand: feeding schedules, walking habits, favorite activities, things that make them nervous, any quirks we should know about, and what helps them feel comfortable. We’re careful about doors, leashes and surroundings, we’ll follow your instructions closely, and we’ll never assume that what works for one dog works for another. We’re also big believers in communication. You’ll get pictures and updates during our time with your dog so you’re never wondering how things are going. Our Availability We keep our calendar updated and only accept bookings when we know we can give your dog the time and attention they deserve. We’re available for dog walks, drop-in visits and select house-sitting stays in the Framingham area. We’re always happy to do a Meet & Greet first so you and your dog can get comfortable with us before the first booking. I work full time but am flexible after work to take care of any of your pets. My husband does a lot of theatre so I have a lot of free time to take care of animals! My house has a fenced in backyard that we had for our dog who recently passed. We always had her on a harness and only walked her on safe roads!

About: Hello! I’m Cassidy, a dependable caregiver with hands‑on experience across a wide range of animals. I’ve owned cats, dogs, horses, chickens, ducks, cows, fish, and donkeys, and I’ve provided care for pigs, goats, turkeys, and other farm animals. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medication, behavioral support, and caring for animals from newborns to seniors. My background in social work helps me stay calm, organized, and attentive — especially with pets who are anxious, reactive, or slow to warm up. I communicate clearly, follow instructions closely, and keep you updated with photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s wellbeing and safety are my top priorities, and I bring both experience and heart to every visit. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday life. I’ve spent years caring for animals of all ages, from newborn kittens and calves to senior dogs, horses, and farm animals. As a result, routines like feeding, walking, enrichment, and medication management are second nature to me. I’m consistent, organized, and attentive, and I build my schedule around providing reliable, steady care that helps animals feel secure. Safety is always my top priority. Having worked with a wide range of species- cats, dogs, horses, cows, pigs, goats, donkeys, chickens, ducks, turkeys, and more- I’m comfortable reading body language, managing different temperaments, and adjusting my approach to each animal’s needs. I maintain a calm, structured environment, follow instructions closely, and take the time to build trust with shy, anxious, or slow-to-warm-up pets. You can expect clear communication, consistent updates, and a dependable presence.

She took excellent care of my three cats and was very responsive throughout our time away. I was concerned about a potential temperature issue in our home before leaving, and she kindly checked and updated me on it daily, which gave me great peace of mind. She went above and beyond, gave the cats treats, and they were all very comfortable with her. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Acton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Acton is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $39 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 5,058 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Acton. 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 .

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 with handling special pet needs in Acton. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% can help with daily exercise

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 , 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.
