About: Growing up with many dogs and puppies along with an array of other animals has given me quite a bit of useful experience with handling, giving medication, reading body language and how to engage a stubborn dog. Being 6 feet tall and being able to carry and hold a lot of weight even the biggest of dogs wont be a problem for me! My previous dog was very elderly and always made messes which required immediateclean up, meaning any messes your pet makes while you arent home will be cleaned and sanitary so when you get home you can play with your furry family and not worry about minor messes they may have made. While writing is not my strong suit animals are, they are what I wanna make a career out of and be able to help any and everyday but for now just helping your pups while you are gone or unable to check in on them will be enough for me. I currently own my home and have open availability other than take care of my pups at home. Weekends tend to be a little bit more busy but im still free! My pets all have safe spaces where they relax all day plus a safe fully fenced yard with plenty of shaded area they can relax in plus large water bowls always available.
“Emily is a great pet sitter! She stayed at our house with 4 dogs and 1 cat for 5 days. She has a good understanding of dog behavior and is at ease with them. We have a dog who is hesitant to go to anyone new (and sometimes anyone familiar), he had no problems going to Emily on her first visit here. We have another dog with a behavior issue, in talking with Emily about it we learned that she is knowledgeable about this issue and had no problems with the dog while she was at our house. While we were gone, Emily informed us about a problem at the house which I appreciated. The house was clean when we returned home and the pets were happy. The pictures we received of our pets while we were gone were good and we were reassured everything was going well. We will for sure use her services again and I recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.”

About: I've been around dogs and cats, as well as chickens and horses, since I was very young. I'm familiar with large and small, young and old animals. I've house- and pet-sat for dogs, cats, goats, chickens, and horses (and even a ferret once) since I was a teenager and have enjoyed every experience. I have a job weekday work hours, but I am happy to take care of your animals during early mornings, evenings and weekends, whether that means just dropping by for feeding and playtime, or spending the night with them. Unfortunately, I do not currently live in a home that allows animals. However, I am happy to come to your animal's safe environment to take care of them.
“Erin stayed for the second time with Elvis, this past weekend. I must say that even though we have met nice people, Erin is THE BEST! Our baby was spoiled and definitely missed her when she was gone :( She is very punctual, responsible, neat, friendly, and caring. I just hope that whenever we request her services again, she will be available!”


About: I bring more than just walks and cuddles! With experience in vet school, grooming, and training, I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, and shy or anxious pets. I’m attentive, patient, and always make sure your pet feels safe and loved 🐶🐱 Pet care is part of my everyday life! I care for 3 guinea pigs, a chameleon, 5 cats, a dog, and multiple fish tanks daily, so animals are built into my routine from morning to night. I also work at a pet store where I train dogs and care for a variety of animals, so being around pets isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s what my life revolves around 🐶🐱🐠 I provide personalized care in my client’s home by sticking to each pet’s routine. I prioritize safe handling, walks, feeding, enrichment, potty breaks, and medications, while keeping pets comfortable and relaxed in their familiar space. I also send regular updates and photos 🐶🐱

About: I have experience house sitting and caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, a gecko, and farm animals such as pigs and goats. I am comfortable providing daily feeding, fresh water, exercise, basic care, and lots of attention while ensuring pets stay happy and comfortable in their own environment. I understand that every animal has unique needs, and I strive to provide reliable, loving care that gives pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I make time each day for feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and giving pets the attention they deserve. As someone who has experience caring for a variety of animals, I am comfortable adapting to different schedules and routines to ensure each pet receives consistent, reliable care. Whether it’s daily visits, walks, or overnight stays, I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and any special care requirements. I also make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, clean environment. While house sitting, I treat both the pets and the home with respect, providing dependable care and regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they are away.And making sure they have clean home to return too.

“Tyler babysat my dog, Mae, and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. Mae is an anxious Pittie, so leaving her with someone new can be stressful, but Tyler immediately put both of us at ease. He was attentive, patient, and caring with her, and he kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the evening. What impressed me most was the sense of trust and security I felt knowing Mae was in his care and in my home. When I returned, Mae was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. I would absolutely recommend Tyler to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Tyler, for taking such great care of my girl! 🐾❤️”
About: I got my first dog, Buster, when I was a year old and he was my absolute best friend for 14 years. I've taken care of dogs, as well as many other different species of animals, for nearly my entire life. Family and friends have trusted me to walk, feed, and bath their furry family members while going on vacations, weekend getaways, or just working long hours. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Animal Studies and was an extremely active member of my county's 4-H program. I worked in veterinary medicine for several years before branching out on my own. I currently have 4 dogs and 1 cat! I am the proud owner of Goofy Goldie Caravan, based out of Barnesville, Ohio. I travel to pet parents in the area for basic pet care needs. My services include nail trims, anal gland expressions, ear cleanings, walks/exercises, and drop-ins. I have a fenced in yard with 4 friendly dogs to keep everyone busy. I'm experienced in crate training and leash training and will be able to keep your pet safe at all costs.
About: What makes me different from other pet sitters is that caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm and have had the opportunity to care for and love many different types of animals throughout my life. Because of that, I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, needs, and quirks. When your pets are in my care, I treat them as if they were my own. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, loved, and receiving the attention they deserve while you’re away. I take the time to get to know each pet individually and make sure their normal routines are maintained as much as possible. For me, pet sitting isn’t simply a job—it’s something I genuinely love. Your pets aren’t “just pets” to me; they’re family. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away and give your animals plenty of patience, attention, affection, and care while you’re gone. 🐾❤️ My schedule is currently very flexible, and I am available 24 hours a day to provide your pets with the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. My goal is to build a career doing what I truly love—caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. ❤️ Every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow their established routine as closely as possible. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing with toys, getting lots of cuddles, or simply having someone nearby.🐶❤️ My goal is not just to watch your pet—it’s to give them the same love, patience, attention, and care I would want someone to give my own. I’m a dependable, compassionate animal lover who understands that pets are family. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention to routines, dietary needs, medications, and any special instructions you provide to ensure they receive the same level of care they’re used to at home. I also keep a clean, secure environment and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. Building trust with both pets and their owners is incredibly important to me. I believe in open communication, reliability, and treating every animal with patience, kindness, and respect. I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they receive personalized attention and plenty of love. I look forward to creating a positive experience where both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for.
“Brooke was great with Noodles, I'm pretty sure Noodles had her wrapped around her tail... lol ?. Brooke stayed over night to ensure Noodles had company and didn't get anxiety. She cleaned up after herself and Noodles ?. We will definitely be booking Brooke for future stays with Noodles.”

“Isabella is the absolute best! She takes such good care of my pup & is so kind and communicative, she made it easy for me to relax on my trip. I came back to a happy, healthy pet and a clean home. Love when Isabella comes to stay!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 30 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cambridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Cambridge walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Cambridge maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
