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: I have 5+ years of hands on pet care experience and treat every dog like they were my own. I prioritize structure, consistency, and calm care, and I pay close attention to each dog’s needs, especially when they’re settling in. I love keeping dogs’ minds sharp with fun trick training and scent games, in addition to running around and playing outside. My beagle, Mylo, is very warm and friendly. If your dog is comfortable, Mylo will happily play and interact with them, and if they prefer to lounge, we’ll relax together. Your dog will have plenty of downtime, and all interactions are closely monitored so they feel safe and comfortable. They will never be left alone, and I’ll proactively communicate with you throughout their stay. I work from home, so I can give dogs plenty of attention. I take two long walks each day in the morning and evening, and have time during the day for short walks, play, and potty breaks. I provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention, structured walks, rest, and lots of in house play. While my yard is unfenced, I use a long leash with a stake so dogs can safely enjoy some backyard play if they like. My schedule is flexible, so I can adapt to each pet’s needs. I follow the same routine and instructions the owner provides, ensuring their pet’s comfort, exercise, meals, and supervision are consistent with their usual routine.
“Bren was super the whole week. She went above and beyond looking after my babies. The pictures were great. She was there for every appointment and looked after them as if they were her own (maybe even better).”
About: Experience with senior dogs, big and small. I have a love and passion for all animals and would love to get the chance to know yours! I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week and full availability on weekends. I am able to put all of my focus on my furry friends. My place is pet friendly and I am always aware of my surroundings in or out. I take beautiful trail walks located right across from my apartment located in Galt Cambridge
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 have always been extremely passionate about caring for animals and have pet care experience through helping friends and family. I find genuine excitement in meeting new pets and being able to help others. Although I do not have a dog of my own, I do have a bunny that I have taken care of for the past 9 years and he means the world to me, so I have a great understanding of how these fur babies are much more than just pets. I am currently working part-time and do school online, so I have a very flexible schedule. I thrive in settings that may require adapting, and I am the kind of person to focus on my task at hand. I have relatively free mornings, where I enjoy being the most productive, but most importantly I am always willing to accommodate other people’s schedule when possible! When I care for pets, the most important factors to me are the pet’s safety and the owner’s boundaries. I find it very important that the pet is visibly content and safe, and if any issues were to occur, I understand the boundaries as a sitter. I care for and respect all pets the way I would hope a sitter would treat and respect my pet and routines.
“Cassidy was OUTSTANDING!! She sent regular updates with pictures and gave my cats a lot of love and attention while she was with them. I felt so comfortable having her take care of them while I was away and will definitely have her care for them again. Thank you Cassidy!!”
About: I've cared for cats, kittens, puppies and dogs of all sizes, even fish and lizards! I have cared for pets of all personality types, some with disabilities, medication needs, and dietary restrictions. No pet or amount of pets is too much for me to handle ! 😁 I work full time at Gators tail with a set Tuesday -Saturday schedule. With full availability on Sunday and Monday. My trusty assistant and girlfriend Jade works Monday-Friday and is always helpful in caring for pets as well! My lovely girlfriend Jade and I live in a 2 floor townhouse with our 2 year old black cat Loki. We have a cat tree on each floor and an absurd amount of cat toys and treats. We also have a spare room that can be dedicated to your pet so they can have their own personal space if they don't feel like sharing! We do not have a backyard but we are close to parks and trails in hespeler which are great for walks
“Grace is very professional and reliable. I felt totally comfortable leaving our 2 cats in her care, and she did a great job with them. She also made sure everything was clean when we got home, which I really appreciated. I definitely recommend her!”
About: What sets me apart is my versatility. Whether you need help training a new puppy or providing companionship and care for a senior pet, I'm here to assist. My adaptability ensures that I can meet the unique needs of each furry friend, making their time with me enjoyable and beneficial. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule. With my part-time work, I have ample availability to dedicate quality time to your furry companions. I prioritize their needs, ensuring they receive attention, exercise, and companionship. Weekends are perfect for boarding, while weekdays after 2 pm are reserved for walks, playtime, and whatever else your pets require to thrive. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment for pets, providing them with designated spaces for rest, play, and meals. I follow any dietary restrictions and medication schedules diligently. For client's homes, I adapt to their routines, maintaining consistency with feeding times, exercise regimens, and any specific care instructions provided. Whether in my home or theirs, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of each pet entrusted to my care.
“Kayleigh was on time and kept our kitties company while we were out of town. It was such a relief knowing that our babies were in such good capable hands. 10/10 will use again and will definitely recommend her to others! Thanks again Kayleigh!”
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: Hi there! My names Jess and I’m 30 years old, living in the Galt area of Cambridge. I value building a trusting, respectful and positive relationship with any pet I'm caring for; I focus on positive reinforcement/reward systems and really try to focus on the “whys” of behaviours. I’ve been lucky to be around pets of all kinds my whole life (mostly cats and dogs, but also reptiles, birds, and fish). I have a 12 year old Maltese/Spitz pup that I rescued at 8 months old, so I'm well accustomed to caring for a senior dog and dogs with various health needs, including administering medication. Looking forward to hearing from you :) Jess I'm self employed so availability is fairly open - my own pets have their AM and PM routines. Routine is so important - especially for a grumpy senior dog like mine! I'm unable to board for the time being, however I'm vigilant in following any and all instructions set by yourself for your home and pets. Introductions are important, so I'm aware of my body language (especially when first entering the dwelling. I make sure to leave any space the same way I found it.

About: I have always loved animals and animals alhave always seem to enjoy me so getting to meet so many new ones is very exciting. I have walked and watched dogs and cats for friends and family my whole life and also have a dog of my own who I love to walk daily. I am free after 4 most days and some weekends for walks and check ins as well as overnight stays depending on the day of the week. I always make sure that whoever I'm watching is as comfortable with me as possible. I try to make the space as safe and fun as possible and respect boundaries at all times.
“Emma is great with my dogs, always sends pictures and updates me on how the visit went. She is very responsive on the app and was always willing to work with me around my schedule that changes often. I would give her 10 stars if I could :)”
“Meredith was great with our kitty Chester. Communicated promptly and was punctual with her check ins. We felt very comfortable having her watch our fur baby and would definitely use again. A wonderful experience!”
About: I love animals, they’re my kindred spirits and as a vegan, I love and care for them all equally and hope to create a safe and loving environment for all animals as I do for my fur babies and fosters. I work from home for about 6 hours day and spend most of my time off with my cats. I am their primary care provider and love spending time with them. I have fostered my friends and neighbours cats in the past where I provide meal, enrichment activities, play a medicines whenever required. I’ve cared for kittens from age 6 months to older cats the age of 12-15 with arthritis and other kidney health concern and managed dietary and mobility issues.
“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.”

Kiko did a drop-in visit for our pup, and we couldn’t have been happier! She gave us detailed updates throughout the visit and interacted with our senior pup with so much care and patience. Our dog seemed to really enjoy her company, which gave us great peace of mind. We would definitely book Kiko again!
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.

There are 1,997 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.
Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.
Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.
For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 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.
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 Meet & Greet .
