About: Hi, my name is Connor. I've taken care of dogs of all kinds ever since I was a kid. I have pet sat and walked friends,family and neighbors dogs for years. It's always so fulfilling taking care of doggos and seeing them light up when they see me because they know it's time to play or go out on walks. If you have any questions about me or the services I provide don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to meeting all your furry friends. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to take excellent care of your pups. I'm available for dog walking and drop in visits from 11am to 10 pm everyday except Mondays and Thursdays When I am taking care of your pets, I'll treat them like they are my own. Regular bathroom breaks, playtime, food and water as is needed. Feel free to reach out to me anytime for pictures/updates as I know we all worry about our furry friends when we are away from them.
“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 :)”
“Samantha took care of our two very shy cats for a week while we were away. She came every day to check in on them, feed them and give them some love and treats. This was the first time we've opted to have a sitter come over vs. boarding them at a friend's or family's home and I'm so glad we did. The cats were much more comfortable and quickly warmed up to Samantha. She would send us daily updates and lots of pictures, that gave us great peace of mind.”
“If I could give Cassidy 6 stars, I would 🧡 She's punctual, flexible with requests and scheduling changes, responsive to messages .... and the dogs and cat were so relaxed when I got home! I would definitely recommend Cassidy to anyone 🙌”
“Absolutely amazing! Oscar is diabetic and we were getting married. We needed someone to check in on him, feed him, and give him his insulin. Poor Oscar was not handling the separation well, sick to his belly, and didn't want to eat. Jennifer used her magic and got him eatting and feeling better. She even cleaned up after him. Highly recommend her! We will certainly being using her more often! 5 stars and forever grateful!”
“Tess was reliable, communicative, and friendly. Our cat is usually really shy, but warmed up to Tess quickly, trusting that she’d provide lots of pets and wet food! Would book again and recommend to other pet owners :)”
“Taryn was quick to respond and easy to communicate with though the booking process. She was fantastic with our kitties and provided phenomenal care to our timid boys and medicated them as needed. We received updates with photos though rover cards which helped put our mind at ease as this was our first time away from them. We were so thankful to have someone so compassionate and attentive to detail look after our fur babies. Highly recommend!!”
“Ze Lin was very thorough and reliable in her service. She sent me lots of cute photos and videos of my cats. She updated me on their appetite, litter, and play time. My cats seemed very relaxed and enjoyed her company. One of my cats needs 3 different types of medications every day consistently. I was quite stressed about that, but it all went smoothly! I will definitely go to her again when I'm away.”
“Kayla is amazing! Nola is still learning to feel comfortable around new people, but Kayla has been so patient and wonderful with her. I feel completely at ease knowing Nola is in such good hands with her!”
About: What truly sets me apart is my calm, confident energy and my belief that every dog deserves love, safety, and stimulation — even when you can’t be there. I treat every pet like my own, because I know how much they mean to you. I have lived with animals all my life. I have experience with cats, dogs, hamsters, various types of lizards and chicks. I work full time very close to home. I am available most weekends and evenings for walks or any other needs you may have ! Large unfenced yard Lots of walks, long leashes for free exploration. Can take to dog parks if needed. At home, all animals are allowed on the furniture. Bed included.
“Samantha was awesome! She asked great questions when she came for the meet and greet, making sure she got all the information that I forgot was important. Her visits were always right on time, and she sent detailed reports. She was super when one of my cats was sick, and definitely went above and beyond to make sure they were looked after. Highly recommend!”
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.

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! 🥰
We couldn’t be happier with Serenity! She took such amazing care of Nala and Simba and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She was so thoughtful with her updates and sent us lots of pictures and videos, which we absolutely loved and looked forward to every day. The most incredible part was seeing how comfortable Simba became with her. He is usually extremely shy and never comes out when we have visitors, but with Serenity, he came out, interacted with her, and even let her brush him! That alone says so much about how patient, gentle, and wonderful she is with cats. It was obvious that both Nala and Simba felt safe, happy, and loved with her, and that meant everything to us. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust so much with our babies. We would absolutely reach out to Serenity again whenever we need a sitter and wouldn’t hesitate to have her care for Nala and Simba. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their cats with love and attention. Thank you for everything, Serenity! 🐱🐱💕💛
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 :)
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!
Samantha went above and beyond to give us total peace of mind during our vacation. Our situation was complex but Samantha made sure every single detail was handled flawlessly. She was exceptionally thorough, keeping us updated with communication, pictures, and reassurance throughout our entire trip. She managed everything perfectly—from administering meds and food tracking to handling tricky schedules and routines for the cats. When we returned home, both of our cats were completely happy and well cared for. Samantha was professional, reliable, and a very caring sitter. If you want absolute comfort knowing your furry family members are in the best hands, we cannot recommend her highly enough. We would have her back in a heartbeat, thank you Samantha!
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.
This was our second time returning to Michelle as our preferred sitter for our cats. She was just as amazing as the first time. Michelle's multiple photos and frequent updates on their behaviour gave us a lot of comfort and confidence in her ability to watch our cats. We highly recommend Michelle as a sitter / watcher for your pets. Thank you again, Michelle

There are 2,063 sitters on Rover for Pet 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
