“Kiko really takes excellent care of Hazel. I don’t worry when I have to be away for work because Kiko communicates & keeps me updated. Hazel is happy to see her friend Kiko!”
“Serenity is an amazing pet sitter! When we first met her she was sincere and kind and you can tell has a genuine love of animals. Our dog certainly adored her - and appreciates his new toy/parting gift. She even went the extra mile to fill up our budgies' food and water dish as well as clean the cage, even though she didn't have to. Thank you so much for your kindness!”
“Jessica replied to a very last minute booking extremely fast. She was a life saver for me when I had to spend a night out of town and a friend had to cancel. My dog Zara loved her right away , was well taken care of and had a blast when she was around. Jessicas great and reliable”
“Tik Wan went above and beyond in caring for my cats. I went to my wedding overseas and had complete peace of mind. She was very communicative. Sending photos and videos at each visit. Playing with the cats made them very happy. A very reliable and attentive cat sitting. 100% would recommend. Will book again for any future travel.”
“Absolutely thrilled with the care Taylor provided for our dog while we were away! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Taylor was excellent from start to finish—professional, reliable, personable, and incredibly kind. She stayed in our home for the week and made sure our pup was not only well taken care of, but also very loved and comfortable in our absence. Her communication was top-notch—we received wonderful and thoughtful updates, photos, and check-ins that gave us total peace of mind. Taylor asks all the right questions, even ones you never thought of, to ensure all the bases are covered. She also went above and beyond on her own accord to find solutions in order to make the timing work. I had zero reservations about having her in our home, and when we returned, I think our home was even cleaner than when we left! It’s clear Taylor genuinely cares about the animals she looks after (and the families she helps!) and we wouldn’t hesitate to have her again or recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional and compassionate pet sitter. She really is stellar. Thank you, Taylor!”
About: I cared for my own cats and dogs for many years. I understand how important routines and trust are for pets. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I enjoy spending time with animals. I’m available for drop-in visits, feeding, litter care, and spending time with pets to keep them comfortable while their owners are away. I am also Pet First Aid Certified through Walks 'N' Wags (valid until June 2029) I treat every pet and home with respect and care. I follow the pet’s normal routine for feeding, litter care, and playtime, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m attentive, calm, and reliable.
“No issues! Rudy is very picky when comes to new humans in his life, Alex fit right in. He was happy. For the first time he had an overnight sitter and it went well. We will do it again, since I can see his trust towards Alex. Perfect fit! Thank you Alex. 🥰”
About: Hey there, i’m a veterinary assistant certified dog lover and handler. I’ve been in the field for over 8 years as a supervisor at a dog daycare, professional bather and sales rep for diet and nutrition. I currently work for an all natural pet supplement company! I’ve done house and dog sitting during this time as well. I am very reliable and punctual. Im currently available on weekends. I can make an exception depending on the situation. Dog walks can be scheduled for after 6pm Monday to Friday. I have a nice two bedroom apartment. Regular walks are a must (if thats what the pup enjoys). Toys can be provided if none are brought with them, scheduled walks/routine will be maintained.
“Emma provided house sitting for my dog for a night, and I couldn’t be more pleased. She stopped by ahead of time even though it was a pretty last minute booking to meet my dog and make sure it was a good fit, and allow my dog to familiarize with her. My dog took to her immediately, which isn’t the most common as my dog can be a little standoffish with people the first time. During that time Emma was lovely to chat with, and my dog just wanted to play with her the entire time. Over the evening she watched her, Emma provided photos and videos of how things were going, and updates on behaviour, feedings, and potty breaks. Even went back to turn some lights on for me after I failed to mention that request earlier. Emma also left my home just as she found it, which was very kind. Would absolutely recommend her for your animal care needs.”

About: Hi! I've taken care of multiple dogs of all ages as well as my family dog for 11 years! I am dog obsessed and need to love on any dog who comes into my line of sight. Paramedic and nurse part-time, dog whisperer full-time. Warning: dog may become accustomed to my baby talk and constant scratches and kissies! I treat all dogs like my own precious baby and love walks as well! Human AND dog CPR trained ! :D I'm currently working part-time/casually as a paramedic and as a nurse! I have differing availability throughout the week and am able to create a flexible schedule! I also try to incorporate a 30min-1 hour walk everyday and would love to add a doggy friend to that walk! I like to ensure long walks depending on the service/day and always make sure each dog is fed, full, and happy! Depending on the dog, I make sure to let them have multiple opportunities for a potty break to ensure they're the most comfortable they can be! When all safety and needs are taken care of, dogs can expect lots of cuddles, love, and "good boy"/"good girl" affirmations! I understand different dogs like differing amounts of affection and touch and I adjust based on their comfortability! I provide a patient, loving, and calm environment for all doggies!
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!
“Grace was very responsive and communicative during her time watching our cats. She sent us tons of pictures and gave us updates. The cats looked very happy to be with her! We would book her again!! Thanks grace.”
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.
About: Hi, I'm Rachel! I'm a confident, responsible and assertive handler, having grown up with four large breed dogs. I'm certified in advanced pet first aid and CPR through The Pet Paramedic. I enjoy engaging with dogs through long walks, play, enriching games and cuddles. I am just as happy with a high-energy dog as I am with a couch potato. I love meeting new dogs and finding out their unique personalities and what makes them happy! I have first hand experience with puppies, as well as senior and special needs dogs. I'm competent and experienced with administering special diets and medications, as well as providing appropriate levels of play for dogs who have poor joints and pre-existing injuries. I’m lucky to work part-time in healthcare, so I have days off that I like to fill with being around animals! My schedule is often different each week, so if you don't see availability on my calendar, just message me- I am often able to work around it. I’m close to green space and many lovely trails to explore! My home is open to all creatures and they’re welcome to cuddle up on the couch or bed as they wish! If you’d rather have your babies stay at your house, no worries- I’m a tidy guest and can help with other small tasks around your home as needed.
“Taryn watched our senior shepherd for 11 days while we were traveling and I couldn't be happier with her professional service! She stayed at our place and kept it very clean and tidy, got out for walks in the cold and snow, and helped our pup with her bad hips when she needed assistance. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures and we had peace of mind for our dog and home while she was there. I would highly recommend Taryn to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”
“Shorty loved spending time with Stephen and playing with Stella. He was sweet with the dog and respectful of me. I'd highly recommend him and have already booked him for a walk next weekend. Thanks Stephen I appreciate you.”
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.

Playing with the cats made them very happy. A very reliable and attentive cat sitting. 100% would recommend. Will book again for any future travel.
We were in Cambridge for our daughter’s wedding and needed a dog sitter for our 14 year old Bichon, Bailey. Serenity was absolutely outstanding. She provided amazing care, lots of cuddles, walks and provided lots of pictures to us throughout both evenings we needed her services. Bailey had an amazing time and loved all the attention he received. Serenity went above and beyond, even cleaning up the kitchen! I highly recommend Serenity for your dog sitting needs, and she is such a sweet person too!
Victoria is so sweet and took amazing care of my two pups. She is flexible and easy to communicate with, including when I needed to reschedule. The day of the visit she was welcoming and patient with my anxious dogs; she even got them toys, which they have been playing with at home. Victoria is a very thoughtful, experienced, and caring sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again!
Shobhit was fantastic. He was able to meet with us for a meet and greet on short notice and we immediately felt that he would be good with our dogs. He house sat for us and took great care to ensure that all of the needs of Bazynga and Bootstrap were met and provided us with prompt feedback and photos. I would not hesitate to refer him to anyone and look forward to our next booking.
Michelle is a total pro! She doggiesat my pups - one who is a newer rescue and still a little high maintenance but she was confident, calm, and lovely with them. I felt very comfortable with her in our home and look forward to booking her again in the future! Highly recommend.
Abby was AMAZING. Having someone housesit is always a bit nerve wracking. But Abby just puts you at ease. Our dogs took right to her, as well as our new kitten. You can see she just loves the animals and is simply just good people. She was very communicative and sent lots of written as well as photo updates. No hesitation to have Abby care for our pets again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cambridge on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,123 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cambridge. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Cambridge maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Cambridge walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 80% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
