“Cameron dropped in 3 times while we were away for the weekend to feed our cats and give them a little attention. On time, super responsive and communicative. Very dependable!”
“Elena always takes excellent care of Kitten! This time I had a last minute cancellation and she was able to step in for a few days which was an enormous relief. She's so easy to communicate with, and fantastic at what she does. Truly grateful that my cat had such great care. :)”
“We love Lily!!! We continue to leave our little Peanut with her when we’re away—And are always so confident she is in the very best of hands! Lily gives her lots of love and attention and we’re so lucky to have her in the neighborhood!”
“Gabrielle was an amazing pet sitter for my cat and I’m so glad I found her. My cat was having a lot of separation anxiety when I left for my trip, but Gabrielle took over like a professional cat whisperer and helped calm her and cared for her with her with a lot of attention to detail and I was so grateful! She was responsible, communicative, great with instructions and went above and beyond sending lots of pictures and updates for every visit which I loved, appreciated and looked forward to seeing everyday. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat is in such good hands. She’s been an absolute star sitter and I would highly recommend her!”
“Was incredibly attuned to my lil anxious Winston, provided consistent helpful feedback & was just overall a perfect pet sitter for my baby boy! I was nervous using rover for the first time, and Rachel exceeded my expectations & went above and beyond. Will be working with her again!”
About: I have tried to live life around as many animals as possible. Grew up with dogs and cats and now am a proud cat dad. I pride myself on being punctual, responsible, and caring. I have taken care of dogs for family and friends for years. Being a Rover customer has encouraged me to be the best possible sitter, walker, visitor that I could be. I respect people's boundaries and animal's boundaries as well. I would prefer to meet you and your pet before we confirm sitting or visits just to make sure everyone is comfortable(especially your pets!). I am currently working part time and have lots of available time to walk, sit, and visit your cats or dogs. I can do multiple visits per days in Somerville if need be. I would prefer to take time to meet you and your pets before booking. I fully understand the concerns of having people in your home and treat spaces like I would want my home treated. I'm happy to clean litter boxes per directions and would always put things (food, leashes, toys, etc..) back in their place as directed. if you were to be out of town and asked me to retrieve mail, monitor lights and other utilities I would do that to the best of my abilities as well. As someone who has had Rover sitters come visit my cat Pepper I appreciate that extra effort that many of them have put forth. I would also be happy to communicate all visits through the app or phones with pictures and quick updates.
“My cats loved Stacy, and she took great care of them! She was also very kind and communicative when we were figuring out a last second scheduling change over the holidays!”
“Katie was wonderful. We engaged her for daily visits with out cat, Henri, while we were out of town for an extended period. Each day she gave us good updates and sent pics, including ones that showed how attached Henri became with her. He is a very affectionate cat and it was great to have someone like Katie who was so good about engaging with him.”
About: I grew up with cats. I had a budgie. My friends trust me to take care of their cats. I would like to try my services here. I have a full time overnight job in the hospital. I’m free every other week. We need to talk about it. My time is flexible. I have a bird in my apt. Bird needs an attention and care every second. I have an experience with cats. I prefer to do visits for your pets. For emergency reasons we can discuss it.
“Teylah was fantastic with our cat and us humans. She was easy to communicate with, was proactive in solving problems, improvised solutions, and we returned to a very happy and well-cared for cat. I would definitely book her again!”
About: I supported and dog-sat a recently adopted dog from an abusive environment over the past four years. Happy to work with anxious dogs or dogs that need lots of quiet time and space. Patient with different needs. I work remotely on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays and can shift responsibilities around to visit before and after work and at lunch, or stay during the day to work. I'm very careful with cats or dogs that try to escape and experienced with keeping them in when I enter or exit. I'm watchful for dogs picking up food on walks and generally watchful for safety.
“Nathan is the best. He has been so great with Lavender. She loves him and he takes her to meet and play with other dogs. She loves that and we’re so new to the area, we haven’t found her some dog friends yet. It is great because I worry less about leaving her when I have to travel and am more excited for the things he will take her to do. I highly recommend Nathan to other pet owners. Thank you, Nathan!”
“I am so so grateful for Alyssa! She was able to watch my two cats for what was a pretty last minute trip. She was super timely, always very responsive, and took a ton of pictures with each check in. My cats loved her and clearly felt very calm and cared for while i was gone. She also left great updates and i felt so reassured. Couldn’t recommend her more - she is great with cats and i assume all other animals too :) thank you Alyssa!!”
“I cannot recommend Elise enough! She conducted two drop-in visits for my cat, Momo, and truly went above and beyond. Even during a snowstorm, she made sure she was there to take care of her. She was incredibly attentive, spent quality time sitting with Momo, and handled all the feeding and cleaning perfectly.”
“Eleanor was great with Luna while we were on vacation! Luna warmed up to her super quickly. Eleanor spent time sitting / playing with Luna each day on her visit and sent us lots of pictures and updates!”
“Elliot was an amazing cat sitter to our shy kitty, Scooter. He was gentle, patient and cared for Scooter as if its his own. Scooter was first scared and hiding from Elliot but eventually started purring with him and even ate treats from him. Would definitely recommend Elliot!!”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Cambridge is $25
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Cambridge
Hannah took great care of Noori and sent me pictures which made my day as I did miss him while gone. Hannah was consistent, very communicative and professional. My cat takes a long time to warm up to anyone but with Hannah he didn’t take too long. The whole thing experience was smooth and seamless. I definitely recommend her and will definitely be booking her again for Noori.
Lisa is nothing short of amazing. This was our first time using Rover and Lisa exceeded our expectations. The communication was impeccable and we all enjoyed seeing pics and videos of Spike and never had to worry while we were on vacation. Would 1000000% recommend her to watch your pet.
Amanda did a great job and I could tell my cats grew to be very comfy with her. She did everything to take care of them and I appreciated the report cards and pictures. When I arrived home my cats were happy and showed no signs of anxiety after me being away on a trip. My cats were in good hands and I would recommend Amanda to others!
Courtney has been fantastic. My cat needs daily medication and is not always cool with strangers, but Courtesy drops in at the same time each day and spends some quality time with my spoiled cat. Based on the pictures, I think my cat actually enjoys the visits, which has given me great peace of mind while away.
As usual Julie was the absolute best! If you need someone to look after your babies don’t hesitate to book with her. She’s detailed, kind, compassionate, and we wouldn’t go with anyone else for our shy sensitive cat. Thank you for another amazing experience!
Emma was amazing! She took such great care of my cat and made me feel so much better about being away. She sent daily updates and photos, was always quick to respond, and it was so obvious my cat loved her (every picture was of them cuddling on the couch together). I've already booked Emma again for my next trip and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter!
Jenna was absolutely wonderful!! We had our cats separate because of some new onset behavioral issues and were hesitant to leave them, and she handled everything better than we could have asked for, on top of that with a positive attitude at all times. She was communicative when she had questions and very thoughtful and intentional, and left hilarious daily updates and pics. By the end of the week I stopped worrying about the cats because I knew they were in great hands. Jenna is very respectful and responsible and I would trust her to handle anything. She left our spaces clean, followed any instructions well, and went above and beyond to clean up after our cats even outside of the norm (one threw up one day and she cleaned it without hesitation). It was clear our cats warmed up to her quickly. We can only hope she’s available the next time we go out of town!!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Cambridge on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
