About: I’ve been dog sitting for family for about 20 years and have also watched cats for neighbors. I’ve had my own dog for the past seven years, and we trained together so she could visit patients in hospitals. She was also reactive to certain breeds after a bad experience prior to adopting her, so I became very attentive on walks and learned how to recognize what might trigger her. I worked with her on counter-conditioning and gradually helped her become much more comfortable around all other dogs. I pay a lot of attention to a dog’s behavior and tailor my interactions based on the individual pup. I work full-time for a tech company, but I have a good amount of flexibility and control over my schedule. I’m used to building my day around pet care from having my own dog for seven years, so walks and regular breaks already fit naturally into my routine. I can usually be flexible with timing and am happy to work with an owner’s schedule and their pet’s normal routine. I’ve stayed in family members’ homes for one to two weeks at a time while caring for their dogs, so I’m comfortable staying in someone else’s home and treating it with respect. I’d keep a pet’s normal routine as much as possible and be attentive to things like doors, gates, feeding schedules, and anything else that could be a safety concern. On a recent group trip with people I’d just met, we voted on a series of “awards.” Almost everyone voted for me as the person they’d most want to leave their house keys with.

“Sean took great care of my 2 cats for a few days including daily scooping and feeding. He sent me daily detailed updates with pictures, communicated very well and even cleaned around the boxes and cleaned up after one of my cats managed to vomit on the only rug in my apartment. Both boys were content and happy when I got back. I would highly recommend Sean for your cat sitting needs!”

About: I love all cats. I have grown up with my two cats since high school, and I regularly watch them when my parents are traveling. Furthermore, I have experience with taking care of friends fur babies as well, from home-stay of up to three months to just half a day. I have deep-cleaned litter boxes, cut nails, given bathes, and dealt with cats who love scratching couches. I will care for your cat as I do my own :) I am currently working a part-time fully WFH/remote job, so I will have plenty of flexible time to check on your pet when need be! Your house, your rules! I will respect your and your pet’s space when entering and caring for them :). Above all, I will respect your privacy and boundaries.

About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life. I grew up with golden retrievers on a farm, so I'm comfortable with high-energy, big-hearted dogs and know how much they thrive on exercise, routine, and attention. Today I help care for my in-laws' black lab, so I'm used to the day-to-day of feeding schedules, walks, medications, and the quirks that make each dog different. I'm also a lifelong cat lover, so I'm happy to look after your cat if you have one. I treat every pet like part of my own family, and you'll get regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I'm flexible and available most days, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I can handle last-minute requests, midday walks, and longer stays, and I'm able to reply to messages quickly. Your pet won't be left alone for long stretches, since I'm home with them and can stick to their usual routine. Boarding: Your dog stays in my home as part of the family, never in a kennel or crate unless that's their routine. I keep my home clean and pet-safe, with fenced in back yard and lots of walks around the neighborhood. I follow your dog's feeding, medication, and exercise schedule. I'll do a meet and greet first so your dog feels comfortable, and you'll get regular photo and text updates. Walking: I use a secure leash and harness, keep walks to safe, familiar routes, and never let dogs off leash in unfenced areas. I pick up after your dog, offer water, and send a quick update after each walk. Sitting (in your home): I stick to your pet's routine, keep your home secure and tidy, and treat it with respect. I'm happy to bring in mail, water plants, and leave things the way I found them. Across all services, I'm calm in an emergency, I keep your vet's contact info handy, and I'll message you right away if anything seems off.

“Jordan did a fabulous job taking care of our cat. She sent us photos and notes on how Chip was doing each day. We could tell from the pictures that he was content and very happy with Jordon’s drop in visits!! We will be requesting Jordan again in the near future as her communication skills and punctuality are top notch. We highly recommend Jordan for your fur babies care.”

About: Hi, I'm Florence! I'm a licensed real estate agent, so I'm used to being trusted with other people's homes. Dogs have been part of my life since I was seven. I fostered many dogs in NYC (and adopted one), fostered in Boston too, and adopted a rescue five years ago. I also regularly look after friends' dogs and cats when they travel. I love house sitting because pets are happiest in their own space with their usual routine. I'll stick to their schedule and send plenty of photo updates. When I house sit, I'll bring in your mail and packages, water your plants, keep things tidy, and watch for anything that needs attention. I have a very flexible schedule both weekly and weekends. I can definitely stay overnight - I understand pets need and like to be home as much as possible. I will keep to your pets’ routine as much as possible. I know that all pets hate their routine to be broken. Each pet is different so I will cater to each pets needs.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages for over 15 years. I am born and raised in Cambridge, MA and am friend to many of our local quadrupedal citizens. I have experience administering medicines to dogs, and I've worked at a seabird rehabilitation in South Africa, as a bonus aside. I like running and could take your dog on a run if that's something they'd like! I can handle as many responsibilities as you need me to, and can always be in close contact. I'm here to bring some warmth, ease and peace of mind to you and your pet. I am currently a full-time student, which leaves me with total flexibility! I am generally available during the week and weekends - just reach out to see if the time fits. I have a lot of experience caring for my clients' homes and accommodating their specific needs, whether it be treat, crate, food, pet-routine, medicine related or beyond. I am extremely responsible, and can be trusted to follow directions to a T. I have extra experience as a house-sitter, as well.

About: I have lived with dogs practically my whole life and have experience owning many breeds from chihuahua to greyhound. I usually have an instant connection with new dogs, and am really good at cuddling. I am skilled in caring for dogs who may need extra attention or medications (including pills or injections). I've cared for many types of animals (including cats, rabbits, and birds), if you have a mixed-pet household and would prefer one caretaker for all your pets. I have some experience with more difficult dog personalities, and know how to prevent destructive behavior. I also know how to make sure that your pet does not escape while you are away! I am loving, nurturing, and trustworthy, and you can rely on me to give your furbabies truly excellent care and attention.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Cambridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Cambridge is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $43 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.

As of November 2026, there are 1,584 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Cambridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cambridge. On Rover:

  • 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 87% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
