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.
“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”
“Serenity has been the best caretaker we’ve had for our cat. We used her services for 10 days and were met with the kindest person who cared for our cat the same way we would. She bought him toys and treats and was able to become best friends with our cat who has a spicy personality. We will be using her again for all our future bookings. Thank you Serenity!!”
“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.”
“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 :)”
“Kiko was so great, really mindful about the things I mentioned at our meet and greet. I always got such detailed summaries for each visit so I knew my three cats were getting plenty of attention and love. I would absolutely book with Kiko again!”
“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”
“Michelle was great with Pumpkin. She kept me informed daily about his well being, sent pictures. I was concerned about leaving him because he recently was diagnosed with diabetes. Michelle was great with his feeding and giving him his insulin. I will be using her services again.”
“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!!”
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: I will make your pets feel like they are loved and feel at home, they will want to come and stay again and again after their first visit. I am currently not working so I have availability daily and would love to start helping families leave their furry friends somewhere safe while they work or adventure off into the world. I have a smoke and pet free home which can make you feel more at home leaving your furry family members to be cared for.
“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 !”
About: Im very experienced with dogs of different sizes, temperaments and breeds. I did two different dog co-op placements doing doggy daycare and bathing dogs, as well as recently having a job as a bather. I have also fostered and currently have my own puppy. I have been around dogs ever since I was little growing up with friends, family and neighbours dog. I can be your doggy’s best friend. Im currently not working and am very flexible with lots of time to spend with your pooch / cat. Available Sunday - Saturday and will book days of that I will be busy. I respect any request or rules made by the dog parents when taking care of your dog or cat. I have my own car so we can go for walks around the neighbourhood or even go out to walk a trail.
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 .
About: Our family has had one or two cats for the last 18 years and so I love to make a kitty feel at home when possible! I am a stay at home mom with ample free time during the week to accommodate pets in my nearby area for walks or more! I will treat your pets as I do my own. With love and respect . I have a big backyard, not fenced however I am super careful about keeping my eyes on the dogs.
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.
“Kendra is wonderful, I will definitely be calling on her again to look after my fur baby! She was very accommodating, communicative about the booking and sent me lots of photos of my guy having a good time with her! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kendra.”

Michelle was great with Pumpkin. She kept me informed daily about his well being, sent pictures. I was concerned about leaving him because he recently was diagnosed with diabetes. Michelle was great with his feeding and giving him his insulin. I will be using her services again.
This was our first time using Rover and we were delighted to find Kiko, who was a deeply caring and conscientious cat sitter to our two cats for a week. We received photos and detailed updates after each drop in visit, and we could tell that the cats not only got fed, but got lots of attention as well. Everything was well in order in our home when we returned. I am sure the cats were disappointed to see us and not Kiko coming through the door. Would 100% recommend Kiko's services - very professional, kind, organized, and communicative.
Serenity was absolutely amazing! She took exceptional care of our cat, Yoshi, while we were away. She visited every day, made sure he was fed, played with him, and kept his litter box clean and fresh. We loved receiving her updates and could tell that Yoshi was comfortable and happy in her care. When we got home, Yoshi was relaxed, content, and clearly very well looked after. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and reliable hands. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and will absolutely be booking Serenity again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!! ❤️

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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Cambridge on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 2,149 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.
