“Meg was a fantastic with our two older cats who require a little extra in their age, and they both warmed up to her immediately. She easily took on daily meds for one who can be difficult and gave lots of attention overall to both cats. She was very responsive and sent great updates so I didn't worry at all. She even swept up litter and did kitty dishes before she left! Thank you, Meg!”
“Shawn handled everything responsibly and was flexible in accommodating our requests. We were so happy that she got along well with our cat. Thanks for always sending such cute photos!”
“Caroline was available during a busy time of year and super flexible to accommodate a 30-min visit with my cat, Ms. M. We scheduled a quick check-in visit beforehand and she met Ms. M for about 30 minutes, reviewed any instructions, and I left her a set of keys. I appreciated having someone to make sure my cat had a bowl of wet food and some company while I am away for a week. Caroline was also flexible in setting up a time to handoff my spare set of keys. All and all it was a smooth experience and I’d recommend Caroline to others looking for cat care!”
“Susie took great care of our 2 energetic 18-month-old cats while we were out of the country for a week. She came reliably twice a day to feed them, play with them, and keep their litter box clean, and she kept us posted with adorable photos. This was our first time leaving these cats with a stranger, and Susie did a lovely job of keeping them happy and allaying our concerns.”
About: hi! I’ve been living and taking care of animals since I was a kid. I have always loved, connecting with dogs and cats. For at least the past decade, I have walked, fed, and stayed overnight with neighbors’ animals, so I’m well versed in the responsibilities of caring for furry friends! I also took care of my elderly dog for many years before she passed at 16, so I know how to help make older dogs feel comfortable. I truly believe all animals deserve loving attention, and I can’t wait to help care for yours. :) I am a student and work part time in Somerville. My availability is very flexible, and I can also easily adjust my schedule to fit your needs. I spend lots of time outside, so I am eager to walk dogs/play outside with them, and take care of your pets! I have a fenced in patio/backyard. I live on the upper unit of my house, but there is A/C to cool off the animals on a hot day.
About: I’ve worked at doggy daycares and have experience with dog walking and overnight (pictures in my profile are from the daycare and other pets I’ve cared for) and I can feed, bathe, and walk. Ive taken care of all sizes and breeds, high energy and low! My schedule flexible and I am available every day! Pet care fits into my daily routine and it is my top priority to make your pet happy and satisfied! I usually go by what the pet owners would like me to do when I’m there but something I always do is make sure I’m giving them my full attention and time when I am there!
“Alison treated our cat very well while we were away. She was able to give him his medicine with no issues and sent us lots of photos of them playing. Our cat can be a bit feisty, so it was great to see her manage him so well.”
“Marina was terrific and truly went above and beyond. She took wonderful care of our older cat. We really appreciate the extra patience, thoughtfulness, and care she showed. Highly recommend!”
“My wife and I travel a lot, and over the last seven years we’ve engaged a lot of people to stay with our cat. Natalie is in a class by herself. She was wonderful in every way, and we came home to a very happy and calm cat. We’d hire her again in a heartbeat. Great person.”
“Yuting was amazing! She provided me w regular updates and photos! I felt very comfortable and knew my cat was in good hands! I will definitely request her services again!”
About: I am happy to spend extra time to help your pet feel cared for and get the exercise they need. I'm experienced in caring for dogs, cats, and rodents (hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs) I recently finished school, and am looking for work. I'm currently available full-time for pet care. Even after I find employment, I plan to continue making time for pet care. I primarily care for pets in my clients' homes, since my own dog is territorial. My clients' pets are happy to be cared for in surrounding they are familiar with.
“Jordan is absolutely amazing! She not only looked after our special needs (asthma) cat and administered all her meds, but she also took care of our new kitten that suddenly came into our lives. She gave both cats lots of attention and love and we will definitely ask her to look after our babies again!”
About: I adore all animals. I have a very friendly one year old Devon Rex cat named Nardo who stays with me and my partner at our apartment, and my first kitty was a calico rescue named Tilly who I took care of with my Dad since I was 8 years old. I'm currently in school for marine biology! I live very close to multiple vets, er vets, and pet stores so if there's the unlikely emergency I am able to get wherever I need to go quickly. I'm currently working part time at a bank, three to four days a week. On my days off, I typically spend the majority of the day at home either baking, doing crafts, or playing with my cat. In the evenings, I do not typically have plans and tend to stay inside more often than not. I live in a two bedroom apartment and it's me, my partner, and our cat Nardo. Nardo is very friendly and great with other cats. Whether I'm in my home or yours, I'm more than happy to follow specific care instructions or requests. I know each animal has its own quirks so I'd be glad to follow along in the ways that make them comfortable.
About: I've own all varies of pets since I was a child and proud of always be able to taken a good care of them. I stay calm in difficult situations and don't shy away from them. I'm doing a part time currently so I do have plenty free time. And I'm happy to dedicate my time and energy to pet care. I'm an experienced pets owner and I'm proud of be able to take good care of pets! Your fur baby will be in good hands with me.
“Isabella was thoughtful and her care for animals is evident. She sent along plenty of pictures and detailed updates with each check-in, which helped put me at ease when I was away. She is reliable and communicates well. Anyone would be lucky to have Isabella watch their pet!”
“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!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Arlington
Great first time using Rover with Alyssa! Our meet and greet was very comforting and she helped me understand the app better during that time before booking with her. During the visits, she left detailed reports and got cute photos of my cat. I definitely would recommend Alyssa for any of your pet needs!
Naomi was wonderful! She took excellent care of my two cats- she followed instructions perfectly and sent great updates and photos. One of my cats is extremely social and affectionate and Naomi gave her lots of attention and cuddles when she stopped by. She did a great job caring for my girls and I would book her again!
Yuou is the obvious choice for your pet sitter! While away on our honeymoon, my wife and I received several pictures and videos from Yuou’s daily check-ins with our cat. It also happened in our favor that we were able to extend a day with short notice due to Yuou’s flexibility and calm reassurance that it was no problem. We knew our cat was in the best hands from across the country at all times. Do not hesitate to book Yuou as your pet’s new best friend!
Anandi provided very detailed updates and photos of my cat, Aggie, while we were away for the weekend. Aggie can be a bit shy but she seemed to really come out of her shell around Anandi which was great to see! I would highly recommend Anandi to anyone looking for a cat sitter in Cambridge!

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.

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 .
