“Kelly was amazing!! She took the time to get to know Layla and work through some nervousness on her first day. When you are traveling and things at home are not under your control, knowing Kelly was going to make sure Layla was taken care of. I cannot say enough how much that put my mind to rest!!!!”
“I am very happy with Jack's service. I got home and my princesses were happy and well. She had lots of patience to deal with Nina's snoring and Luna's barking out of the blue haha. Already scheduling her next stays ❤️🫶🏼🐶💝🐶”
“Karissa was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time leaving our pups for an extended period of time, and Karissa sent us so many updates and our pups looked so happy! It was a relief to know our pups were in reliable and kind hands. We will definitely be using her services again in the future. Highly recommend!!”
“Julie was great! She was able to work with two mostly untrained dogs (but very sweet!) at a house without a fence. The dogs were happy, tired, and had no accidents in the house. We loved the photos we received along with the updates. I didn't worry at all while we were away. We would definitely recommend!!”
“Cecilia was so sweet and communicative about our precious love kitty ‘Lucia’ while we were gone. We got such a kick out of the updates and it made us feel so much better knowing everything at home was a-ok.”
“I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Loki is my best friend and she took care of him as I would. She listened and responded quickly to last minute changes. I had a lot of anxiety about leaving him. I don’t now”
“Stefanie was great! My cat is not an easy customer but Stefanie got the job done exactly as I asked, while giving my kitty the space she needs. I was able to have peace of mind while I was away on vacation.”
“Kelly was wonderful! She checked in on our dogs while we were away for the weekend—always prompt, spent time playing with them, fed them, and made sure they felt loved and cared for. It gave us such peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Emma is fantastic! On very short notice, Emma agreed to do drop in visits with my two Golden’s in the very early morning and at night. The pups look so happy to see her in every picture on their report card. Thank you Emma!”
“Elizabeth popped in for a walk with Ari & was great at accessing her needs and making sure she was comfortable! She provided a very detailed update, so I was able to know my pup was safe. Ari seemed very happy and healthy after!”
About: I currently work at an animal hospital, so I’m used to taking care of both cats and dogs. My own dog was diabetic so I’m used to administering insulin shots. I especially love being active with animals such as long walks and lots of playtime! I am currently working 4 days a week, usually until after 7:30, but I do have weekends off. I’m free most weekends and most tuesdays! I follow whatever directions are specific to each animal and home as I’m very comfortable with most animals and aim to provide the best service possible. I grew up with a dog and currently have a cat so I understand needing someone reliable to take care of your fur baby or babies.
“Sue was fantastic! Our dog Bailey, and two cats felt very comfortable with her. She even sent pictures! Excellent critter sitter! Looking forward to having her back again and would highly recommend her to others. Thanks Sue ???”
“Olivia is great. She had a minor emergency when she first arrived. Contacted me immediately and we were able to resolve the issue quickly. Am looking forward to her taking care of our cat again next month..”
“Emily visited our dog Finn at our house and was great! She did a meet and greet before and arrived on time for the day of the drop in. She sent lots of pics and made Finn’s day”
“Sarah was punctual and took wonderful care of Penny and Pepper (aka pippa). She put my mind at ease with regular updates and snapshots which I loved! I definitely recommend her and plan to book with her again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Barnstable on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Barnstable. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
