Samantha did a great job taking care of our 3 kitties while we were away. It's clear that she connects with animals and that shows in the way she looks after them. I look forward to having her come again!

She was fantastic with my pup and my sisters dog! We had to take a last minute day trip and she was available to stop by our place and walk our dogs 4x. She was responsive, attentive and very good with our dogs. Thank you!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits, and being around animals has always felt natural to me. While I’ve had experience with many different pets, dogs and cats truly have my heart. I’ve had dogs in the past and absolutely loved the companionship, routine, and joy they bring. Right now, I don’t have a dog because I have a cat at home, which makes me even more excited to care for other people’s dogs and give them the love, attention, and time they deserve. I genuinely miss having a dog around, so taking care of someone else’s feels like such a joy rather than a task. As a current cat parent, I deeply understand how important routine, patience, and trust are. I know how to read body language, respect boundaries, and move at a pet’s pace. Whether it’s an energetic dog who needs playtime and walks or a calm cat who just wants quiet company, I adjust my care to each animal’s personality. What sets me apart from other sitters is how personally I take my role. I don’t see pet sitting as just feeding and walking. I see it as building trust and making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m gentle, attentive, and very observant, especially with shy pets, senior pets, or animals who need extra reassurance. I may not be a professional trainer, but I’m very patient and consistent, which helps with puppies learning routines and senior pets who need calm, gentle care. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own, and I care just as much about their emotional comfort as their physical needs. Your pet’s happiness and safety always come first with me, and I would be honored to be someone you trust with a member of your family. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I already structure my days around caring for my own cat, so feeding times, playtime, cleaning, and check-ins are things I’m used to and consistent with. Adding pet sitting into my routine feels easy and intentional rather than rushed. I’m someone who plans ahead and values routine, which helps pets feel comfortable and secure. I make sure walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins are done on time, and I’m always mindful of each pet’s specific needs and energy levels. I enjoy spending quality time with animals, so caring for them never feels like a chore. Because I genuinely enjoy being around pets, I’m happy to build my schedule around them and give them the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress free for them. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, respect the space, and make sure pets stay in their usual environment whenever possible. I keep doors and windows secure, ensure food and water areas are clean, and make sure pets are always supervised appropriately. I pay close attention to behavior changes and will always communicate updates or concerns right away. In my home, pets are cared for in a calm, clean, and safe space. I make sure the environment is pet friendly, free of hazards, and suited to their comfort level. Because I have a cat, I am very mindful of slow introductions and only accept pets that are a good fit to ensure everyone feels safe and relaxed. I believe trust is built through consistency, clear communication, and genuine care. I treat every pet and home with the same respect I would want for my own, making sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for at all times.

About: I have an incredible passion for animals that I pursued since I was a child! I’ve looked after animals both personally and professionally for well over 5 years. I was relied on by many neighbours and family friends to take in their loved ones and care for and play with them. I have also been employed professionally at a farm, feeding, cleaning, treating, and raising farm livestock. I aim to live the rest of my life in the animal care field! It is my passion and my speciality. I enjoy all aspect of animal care and can’t wait to meet all the amazing family members you have! I am a student so I have so much free time to play with my furry friends! I am able to go on frequent walks and monitor them everyday. I am at home most of the week so am able to dedicate a lot of effort to caring for all your animals! I have two quiet cats that live with me but are very friendly. Due to this everything even possibly dangerous is put far out of reach. Everyone who lives with me is very careful about hazards and keeping doors closed. We care so very much about the health and happiness of all the animals that we see and take care of.

About: Hi! I’m a Dog/Cat and bearded dragon Mom! I have a loveable Bernese named Maggie who loves everyone :) What sets me apart is my experience with rescue cats, especially shy, anxious, and newly adopted cats that need patience and a calm approach. I work from home, so your cat gets consistent care and supervision in a quiet, stable environment throughout the day. I’m also comfortable with kittens, including socialization and routine building, as well as senior cats who may need extra attention or medication. My focus is always on keeping stress low and helping each cat feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I work from home so I’m always here for your loved one. I can let them out regularly and walk them often! Your pet will not be left alone.. I have a fully fenced yard to run around as well as a separate room if you’re pet needs its own space for whatever reason!

About: Always dog sitting my family member’s pets. I’m a teacher on summer break with too much free time. I have full availability and can give all my attention to your pet. I am on summer break so I have all day, every day, 24/7 availability to spend with your dog. I can do quick walks or over night stays. I have no other pets or children so I can devote all my attention to your pet. I will treat them like they are my own - providing enrichment, exercise and lots of cuddles.

About: I have had pets basically my whole life, from dogs to cats to bunnies! I had a Husky for 10 years, who recently passed, so I’m quite comfortable with more stubborn dogs! I absolutely love walking and hiking, and I miss doing it with a dog! I currently have 2 bunnies, so I’m absolutely comfortable if you need a bunny sitter as well. I am the type of person to notice the pet before the person, as I always want to give a little scrub and say hello! My schedule is pretty flexible, and I’m usually able to accommodate most days as I work for myself a couple days a week. Hoping to make your pet my new bestie! I’m quite flexible in my schedule, and I tend to work several times a day so I’d love to have a companion to walk with! I’m happy to follow the routine you have for your pets in their home! I love lots of pets and sitting outside, walking and playing, or cuddling up on the couch with them! I’m happy to do any of the schedule you need!

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have actively taken care of multiple dogs for the past 18 years. Many friends and family member of mine have always trusted me with their pets, and cared for them for a month at a time, including a 6 year old Maltese poodle blind dog. I’ve had pets in and around the house ever since I was a little kid. I grew up with a Siberian husky, an Akita, a German shepherd, and a cat, so I’ve always known how to handle and care for any size of pet! I’m currently working part-time so I have extremely flexible hours and plenty of time to care for your fur baby, as I understand that they need the extra love, plenty of cuddles and play time, especially when they are away from home! I am a very active person and I love taking daily walks, so I’d be more than happy to be accompanied by your pups. 😊

About: I am blessed to have grown up with both kitties and doggies, big and small. Since, I have pet sitted for both cats and dogs, dogs ranging from little, lazy bones, to big lazy bones, to crazy pups who need lots of play time and training structure, especially working to correct pulling and improve leash manners! For the babies we will work on all training! I promise to love your pets like I love my own- which is a lot! I am a teacher on summer break currently so my schedule is fairly open! During the school year I am available on my lunch break, and before 8:30am and after 3:00pm! I will follow any rules and preferences listed by the client at booking! Typically I meet the pet before hand with the owner to gain trust, as per our time together, I will get to learn about the pet and see their unique needs and preferences!

About: What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, reliable, and pay close attention to each dog’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I have experience caring for my own dog, so I understand how important it is to provide not only exercise and playtime but also comfort, consistency, and lots of affection. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different energy levels, administering basic medications if needed, and following specific feeding, walking, and care instructions. I also know how to recognize when a dog may be feeling stressed or unwell and will always communicate promptly with owners if I have any concerns. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Me and hubby take care of them, he Works from home Tuesdays and Thursday, and I work only half day on Fridays we both make sure they have attention and lots of playtime I have a fenced yard a lot of toys and a little yorkie to keep your furry friends entertained. I love to have breakfast/read outside to hang out with them.

Sravani is amazing! It was my first time having someone come watch Luna, and she was very patient and made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. She took time to come meet us before I needed her to babysit. The day I needed her to come babysit, she updated me everytime she visited and sent me pictures of Luna.

Thank you Clarissa for coming to my aid Saturday morning when I needed to book a last minute service to check in on our 3 dogs because our first rover had ended and our flight got cancelled Saturday. We got home late on Sunday night. I will definitely use her services again for regular walking and check ins. Hopefully no more emergencies and only planned visits. Thanks again.

Words cannot express my gratitude for June. She graciously accommodated a last minute booking for my post-op pup. Then there was a snaffu with my profile which put her out. June was quick to contact me and was overly accommodating to make sure my pup got the care she needed. All while maintaining such a positive and caring disposition. My pup also gives her ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the cuddles and exceptionally cute dog photo skills!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Cambridge on Rover is $25.07 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 1,968 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Cambridge. About 86% of Cambridge sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Rover makes it easy to find sitters who are available during your working hours. To find sitters who fit your schedule, select which days of the week and the time slots you'd like a sitter to visit. The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home. Once you've found a sitter who you like, message them directly to schedule a Meet & Greet.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Cambridge stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Cambridge choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
