“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. 🐈⬛”
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’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.
“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 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”
“This was the first time I had ever used this kind of service for our cat. I was nervous about a stranger coming into my home and taking care of him. I struck gold booking with Tess. She was amazing and truly helped make the entire experience a positive one ! The care and compassion Tess showed was comforting for us, and it was the little things she did that meant so much. Tess took that extra step ensuring our cat was happy !”

“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”
“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: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 6 years old , I remember how scared I was when I met my first dog , his name was sultan and honestly he was the one who took care of me and after that my love for them just expanded and still every time I see a dog I fall in love them . I work part time so so you can leave your loved one with me at nights or afternoons and for mornings we can figure something out . Note - there will be an additional charge depending on the distance I have to travel to get to your house.(estimate $6-8 for short distances) I work part time , so I am mostly home I usually take a one dog at a time unless your pet is comfortable with other pets. Before we book I prefer doing a meet and greet where we can talk and arrange something that meets your needs. I currently don’t have any pets of my own here , but I have an immense love for animals especially dogs , I live in a townhouse with a back yard where we can play and we can visit the nearby parks or trails if that’s what you want for your loved one .
“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”
“Kendra bonded with our skittish rescue puppy immediately. She is always on time and provides updates when necessary. Her availability is always updated and scheduling is a breeze.”
“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: 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: **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!

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.
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

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cambridge on Rover is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $39 per visit. 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.

There are 2,100 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.
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:
