“Linh was absolutely amazing. She kept us updated the entire time we were away and provided thoughtful, consistent communication. When our flights were delayed due to THE blizzard, she showed up without hesitation to make sure Sienna was taken care of. I would honestly recommend her to anyone using Rover who wants great service, excellent communication, and someone who will truly care for your fur babies like they’re her own.”

About: I have owned dog my whole life and trained dogs for about 5 years. I will always treat your pet as if they were my own. I get out of work between 10 am-12 pm Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I am off Thursdays and Fridays. I am very flexible, reliable, and am willing to work with you to figure things out. I have an open door policy for all pets as long as they can get along with other animals. But I do have the space and room to keep your pet separated if needed.

About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs for over 2 decades and continue to love doing so. Love taking dogs for walks, going to dog parks, etc. Can accommodate most special care requests. Happy to stay the night at your place, or if your dog is social, have her/him over at mine. I have an Alaskan Klee Kai who is 5 years old, 16 pounds, and well-socialized. I’m currently working part time (middle of the day) and will have lots of time to take care of your fur babies. For home visits, I can typically do 7:30-10am, 3-5pm, 7-11pm, but I make arrangements outside of these times with advanced notice. I have a big yard that my dog enjoys. It is not fenced in but we can use a long leash so dogs can run around, play fetch, and explore.

“Ari was fantastic with my kitties! My cats both need oral medication every morning so I was a bit worried to leave them, but Ari took great care of them. I recieved thorough notes for each visit and multiple photos every morning. I was very reassured they were in good hands. I will be rebooking in the future!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood. I grew up with golden retrievers, so big, happy, shedding dogs feel like home to me. Today I'm mom to Birdie, a Great Pyrenees, so I'm very comfortable handling big, strong, fluffy dogs (and vacuuming up after them). Her best friend Benson, a black lab from a few streets over, boards with us when his parents go on vacation, so I know how to manage two dogs under one roof. Over the years I've also cared for friends' dogs while they traveled. Before this, I co-owned a wedding photography business for 15 years, which taught me reliability, clear communication, and staying calm when things get chaotic. Every visit includes photo updates, so you'll never wonder how your pup is doing. Pets are at the center of my daily life. I'm currently taking a break from office work, so my schedule is wide open. That means I'm available for midday walks, flexible drop-ins, and last-minute requests. My days revolve around long walks with Birdie, time in my garden, and keeping the pets in my care happy, fed, and well-exercised. Your pet's safety is my top priority. I don't have a fenced yard, so every dog stays on a leash at all times, whether we're out on a walk or taking a quick bathroom break. There are no off-leash adventures and no chances taken, which means no escape artists. I keep a close eye on body language, watch for wildlife and other dogs on our routes, and stick to well-known local paths. Doors, gates, and leashes get double-checked every time. I'll follow your pet's routine, diet, and any special instructions to the letter, and I'll keep you updated with photos so you always know how they're doing.

About: I don’t know life without furry friends! I was born into a family with two cats and a dog. Growing up, I took care of my own hamsters, fish, and hermit crabs. Since I was 12, I have taken care of my community members’ dogs of all sizes, cats of all temperaments, and small critters. The last 11 years, I’ve been primarily busy with grad school and taking care of my own 3 cats but recently my eldest crossed the rainbow bridge and I now work fully remotely, so have extra love and time to pour into your animals! I have experience with all ages and sizes of dogs. I can also administer medication. I work fully remotely, so have more flexibility to check in on your pets and walk your dogs! My weekends are generally free and I plan to be available over Thanksgiving and New Years. If I were to stay in your home to care for your dog, I would treat your home with the utmost respect and be able to keep the dog to his/her usual routine. I am comfortable with having your pup in my car if they like rides, need to go to the vet, or driven to a park. The same applies for kitty cats!

“Madeleine is absolutely amazing! I have a very shy but super sweet cat who is usually wary of strangers, but she loved Madeleine from her very first visit. I was so impressed! Madeleine sent me adorable pictures every day, was incredibly responsive, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I will 100% hire her again and feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful, trustworthy pet sitter. I highly recommend her!”

About: Hi! We’re dog lovers in Framingham who recently said goodbye to our beloved dog, Charlie affectionately known in our house as our “little girlfriend” and “Chuckie.” Caring for Charlie was such a big part of our everyday life, and while we’re not looking to bring another dog into our family right now, we realized pretty quickly how much we miss having dogs around the walks, the routines, the goofy personalities, the couch time, and all the little things that make every dog completely their own. That’s what brought us here. We know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. Our goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable and cared for while giving you the kind of communication we’d want ourselves. Expect plenty of pictures and updates we know how reassuring it is to actually see that your dog is happy while you’re away. We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal routine rather than expecting them to fit into ours. Whether they’re happiest taking a good walk, sniffing every blade of grass in the neighborhood, playing, hanging out on the couch, or just having someone nearby, we’ll meet them where they are. Most importantly, we’ll treat your dog like somebody’s family because that’s exactly what they are. What You Can Expect From Us For every new dog, we like to learn their routine, personality and preferences beforehand: feeding schedules, walking habits, favorite activities, things that make them nervous, any quirks we should know about, and what helps them feel comfortable. We’re careful about doors, leashes and surroundings, we’ll follow your instructions closely, and we’ll never assume that what works for one dog works for another. We’re also big believers in communication. You’ll get pictures and updates during our time with your dog so you’re never wondering how things are going. Our Availability We keep our calendar updated and only accept bookings when we know we can give your dog the time and attention they deserve. We’re available for dog walks, drop-in visits and select house-sitting stays in the Framingham area. We’re always happy to do a Meet & Greet first so you and your dog can get comfortable with us before the first booking. I work full time but am flexible after work to take care of any of your pets. My husband does a lot of theatre so I have a lot of free time to take care of animals! My house has a fenced in backyard that we had for our dog who recently passed. We always had her on a harness and only walked her on safe roads!

About: I am new to Rover, but I grew up with both cats and dogs and genuinely love both equally. As I’ve gotten older and needed pet sitters of my own, I appreciate the trust that goes into making sure your pet is taken care of while you’re not home. I recently made a career shift from medical device sales to pursuing veterinary medicine as this is something I’m passionate about. Your pets will get the same care and attention to detail that I give my own. I’m going back to school so I have a good amount of flexibility. I’m here to help make sure your pet stays on as close to a normal schedule as possible! I appreciate detailed instructions and the most important thing to me is making sure I give your pet exactly what you need me to give them. Need the food weighed and some meds administered? Got it. Need me to sprint around with them so they can burn some energy? No problem. Whatever you need from me, no matter how unique the request may be to you, I’ve got it.

About: Hi there! I’m an experienced dog care provider dedicated to giving local pups the absolute best care. With professional experience co-owning a pet service business and years of hands-on dog handling, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. My main priority is making sure your pup stays safe, comfortable, and right on schedule for their visits. Whether we’re out on an energetic walk, dropping in for mealtime, or relaxing during an overnight stay, you can count on clear communication, prompt updates, and plenty of cute photos. Looking forward to connecting with you and your pup! Pet care is a core part of my daily routine. I build my schedule around consistent walks/visits, feeding times, and any special instructions so pets are never rushed or squeezed in. Throughout the week, I keep communication steady with updates and photos, and I stay organized with notes to keep each pet’s routine consistent from day to day. I care for pets the same way in any space: safely, calmly, and according to their routine. In a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely for meals, walk/play schedule, and house rules. I keep everything clean and secure, and I send clear updates and photos each visit. In my home (for boarding), I provide a calm environment, regular potty breaks and exercise, close supervision, and a consistent routine with the right balance of attention and downtime based on your pet’s personality and energy level.

About: Been in the animal industry for 6+ years working at a shelter, pet clinic and hospitals, vet diagnostics lab and now with lab animals. I have vast knowledge of medical care and being in the lab field, I will be attentive to my clients and can take care of any special request. I have flexible availability for drop in visits and dog walking. I work overnights, and I am also a college student so I’m focusing on mainly drop in visits and dog walking for your needs: I have availability after work (in the mornings after 9am). Weekend time varies and have more flexible availability Unavailable for sitting in my house at the moment due to personal pets. Future consideration is pending for future request after gaining more app experience/knowledge.

About: I've been looking after dogs, cats, and exotic pets for about 10 years now. I have a dog, 2 cats, and a leopard gecko of my own, so I know how to take care of all types of animals! I originally started my pet care journey with family pets, and slowly began gaining clients through family friends and being recommended to other people. I have handled all age ranges from kittens to seniors, so I'm able to do a wide array of services (administering medicine, being extra observant, correcting behavior, training, etc.) I'm able to be outside in all kinds of weather, and I can walk or play with your animals for as long as you prefer! I currently work full-time, but I still have plenty of time to care for your animals! My work is very flexible and I am often able to step away to visit your animals. I am completely free on Saturday afternoons, all day Sunday, and all day Monday. Depending on what environment your animal has at your home, I cater to your every preference. On leash, off leash, crated, no pets on furniture, etc. I always make sure to respect my clients homes and most importantly their wishes!

Charlene took care of our shy cat during our recent 12-day trip, and she was phenomenal. Our guy can take a while to warm up to new people, but Charlene was patient and consistent with him, and it really paid off - he’s now comfortable and even chatty with her. Beyond the basics like keeping his litter box clean, she paid close attention to his hydration and emphasized for us the importance of making sure he is getting enough water, which we really appreciate. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, not just the routine tasks. We came home to a relaxed, happy cat and total peace of mind. Charlene is our go-to sitter, and we can’t recommend her enough!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Cochituate

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Cochituate is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $31 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 October 2026, there are 5,379 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Cochituate. 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 .

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 , 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 .

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

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 , 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.
