“Serenity took very special care of my cat and even celebrated her birthday. My cat ate well, was well groomed and played with her toys and snuggled on Serenity’s lap. Doesn’t get any better! Serenity is a very good sitter. 🐈⬛”
“Maddie is a gem!!! She was able to make last minute accommodations (coming later & earlier) & she was even able to add in a visit the same day which was so nice & we weren’t expecting it at all since she is a busy woman!!! She helped us out tremendously & of course, our babies were beyond thrilled! More time with her meant more fun, snuggles & all around happiness!!!☀️💕💛”
“Michelle was wonderful and helped make our 10 days away much easier. Great feedback about how our cat was truly doing with pictures which were lovely to see. Michelle was reliable, conscientious and friendly towards our timid boy. Happy to hear they became friends :)”
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 from home as a travel agent. Hoping to make your pet my new bestie! I’m quite flexible in my schedule, and I tend to walk 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!
“She was amazing with my cat, Kendra made sure to take videos and pictures and talk with me to make me feel at ease while away from my baby. Couldn’t speak any higher words of her”
“Kristen was lovely to work with. Her communication was fantastic. We loved all real updates, she really went that extra mile to make sure our Cats were happy. We will 💯 work with Kristen again. Thank you so much”
About: I’m a dog person who currently has two tiny human puppies keeping me extremely busy! 😂 Since adopting a dog isn’t realistic for me right now, I figured I’d borrow yours instead. I’m calm, patient, and pretty confident around dogs, and I’d love to spend my free time hanging out with them. I’m especially interested in leash training—helping dogs walk nicely without turning every walk into a full-body workout for their human. 🐕💪 Basically, your dog gets a fun day out, I get my dog fix, and everyone goes home happy! I work from home most of the week, so my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m usually available for walks, drop-ins, and playtime during the day, evenings, and weekends. Safety and trust come first. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and make sure they’re comfortable, supervised, and never put in a situation where they could get hurt. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and pay close attention to a dog’s behaviour and body language. For walks, I’m especially focused on safe leash handling and calm, controlled walks without pulling.
“Jessica agreed to meet ahead of time to make sure she was comfortable with my dog Bailey and to learn the tips and tricks of the house. She showed up on time for both walks and sent me lots of pictures of Bailey during the day. I would recommend Jessica”
“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: 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.
About: **Returning Rover Petsitter/Dog Walker** What sets me apart is my calm, consistent, and compassionate approach to every pet I care for. I have hands-on experience walking large breeds, walking two dogs at once, and providing gentle care for senior pets—including dogs with vision impairment who need extra patience and attention. I also understand how to support dogs with separation anxiety, offering them comfort and stability while their owners are away. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs a full 1-hour walk or a senior dog who requires a slower pace, I tailor my care to fit each dog’s needs. I’m confident, dependable, and truly love spending time with animals. Your pets will feel safe, loved, and well cared for with me! I work available Sunday to Tuesday , and so I have plenty of time to care for your furry babies and provide them the attention and care they absolutely deserve. Do contact me to get more details. I will respond quickly and let you know about my availability after we discuss more about it. Thankyou!
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
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: My name is Mel, I work part-time as a crew lead for a small landcare company in town and am currently seeking other fun, creative ways to fill up my schedule. I'm new to the Rover app but not to pet care. Please see photos from my House Sitting account of my reviews from that app :) Thanks for taking the time to check out my profile! Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I grew up with dogs and have a deep respect for animals of all kinds and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I bring calm, compassionate energy to every animal I care for. With a lifetime of experience, I’m most familiar with dogs but also comfortable with cats, birds, fish, and even farm animals like goats, sheep, miniature horses, pigs, chickens, ducks, and more. I understand that each animal has their own personality and needs, and I always meet them with patience, kindness, and respect. Whether you’re looking for someone to take your dog on a peaceful walk, a brisk trail hike or need a reliable presence at home while you’re away, I’d love to help care for your beloved companions. Please feel free to contact me if what I have to offer is in alignment with your needs. I’m currently have open availability, and I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s routine. Whether your pup needs a gentle walk, your cat needs a cuddle and a check-in, or your animals need loving care while you're away, I’d be happy to help keep them comfortable and cared for. When it comes to entering your home I like to make sure myself and your pet have an initial meet and greet to get used to me coming by. I know how important it can be for some animals to become familiar with strangers in the home and I want to make sure both pet and owner are comfortable with this. I can appreciate kind, clear communication when it comes to you and your pets needs. I'm happy to accommodate any specific care requests.
“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!”
“Emma was great! She was available with very short notice and communicated throughout. I was in a bind and she saved the day. Highly recommend and will definitely use her in the future!”
“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!”
“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!”

Kiko is a gem. She took care of our cat for close to ten days and we were able to spend our trip stress free. Kiko was on time, was very good at reading what the cat expects and feed / play accordingly. Kiko shared photos and videos constantly which gave us peace of mind while away. Overall, Kiko was an ideal cat sitter and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommended
I honestly can’t recommend her enough. She is the only cat sitter I completely trust with my cats. She makes me feel like my pets are being taken care of the same way I would take care of them myself. She sends lots of photos, actually spends time with them, and is incredibly reliable. My cats don’t usually like anyone, but they absolutely love her, which says a lot. I never have to worry when she’s taking care of them, and that peace of mind is priceless. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my cats!
Kendra was an amazing sitter!! She sent lots of pictures and updates with how my girl was doing the whole time she was there. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! I could tell Gigi really loved her by the pictures that she was sending me! Would recommend Kendra to anyone that needs a pet sitter and I will definitely be using Kendra again for when I need a sitter! 🥰
Taryn was amazing with Holly and Maow. She was very confident in her abilities, which helped my nerves, and successfully gave Holly her inhaler. I also appreciate she was available on short notice and didn’t mind fitting in a meet-and-greet either. I will definitely book with Taryn again!
Michelle was wonderful and helped make our 10 days away much easier. Great feedback about how our cat was truly doing with pictures which were lovely to see. Michelle was reliable, conscientious and friendly towards our timid boy. Happy to hear they became friends :)
Maddie is a gem!!! She was able to make last minute accommodations (coming later & earlier) & she was even able to add in a visit the same day which was so nice & we weren’t expecting it at all since she is a busy woman!!! She helped us out tremendously & of course, our babies were beyond thrilled! More time with her meant more fun, snuggles & all around happiness!!!☀️💕💛
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.
Sierra was fantastic! As this was my first time using Rover, she was so patient, reassuring, and easy to communicate with, which I truly appreciated. Sierra took wonderful care of my cats, and I came home to happy, well-cared-for pets. I will be booking with Sierra again thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cambridge is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $39 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.
There are 2,105 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Cambridge. About 84% 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.
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.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
