Lauren did a fantastic job sitting our two cats. She did exactly what I wanted, and then went above and beyond. If you need a sitter, I highly recommend Lauren. Mike B.

About: I love dogs. i’ve had the pleasure of going through every moment of life with a furry companion. currently i have three dogs and two cats of my own, along with this i have been dog sitting/walking for family and friends these past two years. One of which being my uncles dog who is an amputee and requires a specific regiment. I look forward to utilizing my love for dogs to assist owners with carefree vacations not having to worry about dogs wreaking havoc on furniture or simply feeling alone. I’m currently attending online school so I will have unlimited flexibility. times i won’t be available might be the occasional family event or vacation but those are rarities. How i care for the pets is exactly as instructed by the owner, nothing less. For overnights, I usually tend to just spend the whole day at the house giving your dog love, play time and walks to ensure they get lots of attention and bathroom time. Upon return of the owner to the house everything will be exactly as they left it and if any messes are to be made by the dog they will be fully cleaned.

Lucas was amazing! We had a last minute need for someone to lay our dogs out on a holiday weekend. I inquired at close to midnight and he responded quickly - which is a bonus because I didn’t expect to hear anything until morning! He communicated when he was there, let us know he was running a few minutes late, and sent us pictures! We will definitely use Lucas again.

Courtney is absolutely fabulous!! We adore her. Teddy, our golden doodle puppy, was quite a handful at 4 months old when she started with us. He loved her from the start and she has been so patient with all of his puppy antics and sharp little teeth! It has given us so much peace of mind to have her caring as much about our little guy as we do. Wait until you hear about her foster work at home as well! She is just an all-around great person and animal lover. 6 out of 5 stars! We highly recommend!!!

About: I've been the go-to for pet sitting since I was 9. Working alongside my Nanny mom and taking my own jobs with dogs as big as mastiffs and as small as chihuahua's. I love all pets, no matter how moody or sweet. I'm currently in school so I'll have plenty of time to play with your babies! I'm available for drop-ins before and after school and completely open on the weekend. I am very accommodating to any space, providing love and care for your baby wherever you may be at. I love playing outside with them or just cuddling up on the couch.

Julie was AMAZING with my dog!! I booked her for drop in visits with my 2 year old lab mix and she was incredible with him. She was super communicative throughout the entire process from the meet and greet through the actual visits. And she took lots of adorable pictures of my pup!! Julie was attentive with the details I left about him and made sure to give him lots of love throughout her visits. I’d recommend her to literally anyone who is looking for a sitter!!

Veronica was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter, and I can’t recommend her enough! She took such great care of my cat while I was away, making sure everything was clean, comfortable, and stress-free. It was clear she genuinely cares about animals—she spent quality time giving attention and affection, not just stopping in to feed and leave. I really appreciated her communication as well. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was happy and in good hands. When I came home, everything was exactly as it should be, and my cat was relaxed and well cared for. If you’re looking for someone reliable, trustworthy, and truly compassionate with animals, Veronica is the one. I will definitely be using her again!

This is our second time booking Sawyer to take care of our asthmatic cat, Lucy. Sawyer was attentive and very responsive with Lucy and gave her asthmatic medication consistently so she never had an asthma attack while we were away. He also helped to water our plants and they did great too. We would definitely hire Sawyer again when we’re away.

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and as a Bernese Mountain Dog owner myself, I know just how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can truly trust. Having a big dog of my own also means I’m very comfortable caring for and handling larger breeds! I’m attentive, dependable, and will treat your pet like they’re my own. I’m happy to follow their normal routine, whether that means walks, playtime, meals, medications, or just lots of love and company while you’re away. I know every pet has their own personality, needs, and little quirks, and I’ll make sure they feel as comfortable and loved as possible. I’m also a big believer in keeping owners updated, so you can expect plenty of pictures and check-ins while your pet is with me! I am flexible to work around anyone’s schedule! I work from home so I won’t be restricted on time. I don’t mind to do early mornings! I love being able to care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and can stick to their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any other special needs your pet may have. I’m respectful of each pet’s personality—whether they want lots of attention and cuddles or prefer a little more space while they get to know me. I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away, and I’ll always send pictures and updates so you know exactly how they’re doing!

Sara was wonderful with my boys! I was worried about having to leave my senior pup. She took great care of him, administering his medications, cleaning up his accidents, and spending extra time with him to make sure he ate his meals and was comfortable. She was there on time and sent great photos, which helped me rest a little easier knowing he was in good hands! I would highly recommend her and definitely will use her in the future!

Rebecca was an absolute life saver and amazing watching our dog while we were gone for a week! She jumped in last moment when our original sitter cancelled and had our little one in great hands. She is very communicative, a quick responder, and we really appreciated the full updates and numerous pictures with each check in. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!

About: I've been around all types of dogs and pets since I was a little girl! My parents have put me in charge of my dogs countless times and I believe our fur children deserve the best care! When I take care of others pets I not only care for them but also for the adults that are putting them into my care, taking care of their home and their belongings! I am currently a stay-at-home wife so I have the flexibility and time to care for your pets at any time! I am starting a social media business so I wanted to help out some pet parents while I have the freetime! I will be with your pet anywhere they go and make sure they are safe and friendly with other pets if we encounter them! I will play and exercise with them so they are not as hyper for you when you come home!

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my two girls while I was away overseas! From the start, Hayley was kind, professional, and clearly experienced with cats. She sent me daily updates and photos, which helped me relax knowing my girls were happy, well-fed, and getting plenty of love. When I came home, everything was spotless—food bowls clean, litter boxes fresh, and two very content kitties waiting to greet me. It was clear they’d been well cared for and comfortable the entire time. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again the next time I travel. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving cat sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Amherst on Rover is $19.62 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 590 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Amherst. 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Amherst. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
