“Leslie is a true professional. She took amazing care of my beloved kitty while I was away for 10 days, and I couldn't be happier. Her reliability was a huge relief, and those daily photos she sent? They were the highlight of my trip! Coming home to a happy cat was a first for me - usually, he's a mess after I've been away. But Leslie's magic touch had him in high spirits. I especially appreciated the prints and welcome home card. Such a sweet touch! If you need someone to look after your furry friend, Leslie's your go-to. She's caring, dependable, and she goes the extra mile. Thanks a ton, Leslie!”

“Daniel cared for my two cats today, and I am impressed! My cats are on two ends of the personality spectrum. One is young and friendly/affectionate, and one is older and, well, not that friendly. Daniel shared a photo of the older one sitting right next to him! She has actually never done that with a "new" person. He was prompt, communicative, responsible, and dependable. We would not hesitate for a moment to hire him again for any pet care needs. Meeting him has taken a later of stress off any future trips we book, and minimized the stress for our cats too, who clearly liked him better than they like us! Thanks Daniel!”

“Emily was an amazing cat sitter! She came to our home twice a day for our 5 day trip. Our cats were very well taken care of! One of our cats, Katie, required special medication and Emily administered her medication perfectly. Our cats were very healthy and in great spirits when we returned. We felt very comfortable and was able to enjoy our trip after leaving our fur babies with Emily. She was very communicative via Rover app and text and sent us photos and updates every day. We will be rebooking with Emily again soon!!!!”

About: I have five years of experience caring for pets and looking after homes through numerous house-sitting assignments. I've been surrounded by animals throughout my life. My experience includes caring for cats, dogs, fish, gecko, shrimps, birds, newborn kittens and puppies, as well as pets with additional care needs. I enjoy getting to know each animal's unique personality and maintaining their familiar routines while their owners are away. I love animals and they usually love me back. I'm equally attentive to the responsibility of looking after someone's home. I'm an experienced pet & house sitter and yoga instructor with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals. I specialize in overnight and extended house sitting, allowing pets to remain comfortable in their own homes while their owners travel. I treat every home with care and respect, follow established routines and prioritize clear communication. My goal is to give homeowners peace of mind, knowing that their pets and property are in responsible hands. I offer live-in house sitting exclusively, rather than standalone drop-in visits. I treat every home with respect and every pet as a family member. I carefully follow owners' instructions, maintain established routines, and pay close attention to each pet's health, behavior, and well-being. My five years of house-sitting experience have taught me the importance of reliability, clear communication, and respecting homeowners' privacy. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel secure while their families are away.

About: Hello! I’m Liz, a K-1 teacher with a passion for understanding the unique, non-verbal personalities of our beloved pets. With extensive personal experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish, I know that animal communication is all in the details—from a swish of a tail to a specific reptilian posture. I am responsible, nurturing, and looking to fill my extra time by providing capable, knowledgeable care for your "fur kids." Whether it’s high-energy dog walking or keeping your scaled/finned friends on their specific schedules, your pets will be safe, loved, and thoroughly engaged. I am currently working as a teacher in the afternoon and have morning and evening availability M-F for dog walking, daily check-in's, house sitting and more. As a K-1 teacher, I specialize in "reading the room" and picking up on non-verbal cues, a skill that allows me to provide an exceptional level of observant, intuitive care for your pets. My approach is rooted in safety and structured communication; I don’t just "stop by," but instead actively monitor body language—from a cat’s tail swish to a reptile’s posture—to ensure every animal is thriving. You can expect detailed updates after every visit regarding behavior, appetite, and health, giving you total peace of mind while you're away. Whether I’m double-checking heat and humidity settings for your exotic pets or maintaining hyper-vigilance during dog walks, I treat your home and "fur kids" with the highest level of professional responsibility, ensuring your space is secure and your pets feel safe, seen, and loved.

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover and have grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. I currently have two dogs of my own and am very comfortable with all types of personalities—from energetic pups to shy or reactive dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. I have hands-on experience with reactive dogs and am very mindful of their body language, boundaries, and routines to help them feel safe and secure. I also cared for my senior dog Toni for 17 years, so I’m experienced with medication administration and providing attentive, gentle care for older pets. I truly enjoy building trust with animals and creating a calm, positive environment for them. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and will always follow your pet’s routine closely so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. I’d love to help with walks, drop-ins, or sitting and treat your pets like part of my own family! I’m a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a very flexible and consistent schedule throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting during both weekdays and weekends, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests. Because I’m home-based, I’m able to be very attentive and stick closely to your pet’s routine, making sure they get timely walks, meals, and attention. I provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their own environment and routine. I’m very respectful of both your pet and your space, and I always aim to keep things calm, clean, and consistent while you’re away. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and individual needs, whether your pet is energetic, shy, or reactive. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific routines, so your pet feels safe and secure. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

Olivia is exactly what I always look for in a sitter - responsive, timely, flexible (I had to keep changing my departure time and she was totally understanding!) and most importantly, so great with taking care of my cat, Franklin. Traveling is so much more enjoyable when I know someone is taking great care of him and treating him like their own. Would totally recommend her to anyone!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Boxford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Boxford is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $26 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 4,473 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Boxford. 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 .

  • 89% 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.
