“This was my second time booking drop-in visits with Jessica. She took great care of my cat. In addition to regular check-ins, she helped us clean the litter box area and cat bowl. My cat had a great time with her!”

“Elizabeth took great care of our cat Bernie for 3 days. We always worry about leaving him with a pet sitter because he can be shy and skittish and doesn't always warm up to people he doesn't know. Elizabeth has the magic touch because Bernie was always (and immediately!) happy to see her and even came out to play. When we got back, Bernie was happy, well-adjusted and his usual goofy self. Definitely recommend Elizabeth to anyone seeking a reliable, friendly and professional pet sitter!”

About: Before pursuing my career in elementary education as a special education paraprofessional, I spent three years working at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I gained extensive hands-on experience managing groups of dogs, reading body language, and ensuring a safe, fun environment. I also spent time working as a veterinary assistant, gaining valuable skills in gentle handling, restraint, and recognizing subtle signs of stress or illness. Additionally, I have been a devoted cat mom for over 20 years and have provided reliable pet sitting for family and friends' cats and dogs for the past decade. Why Pet Parents Trust Me: - Professional Animal Handling Background: My time in both a boarding facility and a veterinary clinic means I know how to safely handle pets of all temperaments and ensure they feel safe, happy, and secure. - Medication & Special Care: I am experienced and confident administering oral and topical medications, supplements, and following precise health routines for senior pets or those with special needs. - Special Education Paraprofessional Background: My career in education brings an exceptional level of patience, structure, and attentive care to every visit. I treat every animal with individual attention and consistent care. - Lover of All Ages & Species: From energetic puppies and playful dogs to gentle seniors and timid cats, I have years of personal and professional experience catering to pets at every stage of life. My workday finishes around 2:30 PM. This schedule gives me reliable, consistent availability for late afternoon, evening, and weekend drop-in visits. On Thursdays, I teach dance in the late afternoon, so my availability starts after 4:00 PM. Whether your pet needs an afternoon check-in, an evening meal and play session, or weekend care while you are away, my set schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of quality time to keeping your pets happy, safe, and right on routine! When visiting your home, your pet's safety and the security of your property are my top priorities: - Secure Entrances & Exits: I am extremely mindful of doors, gates, and windows during visits to ensure pets never have an opportunity to slip outside unexpectedly. - Home Respect & Security: I treat your home with total care and privacy, always making sure doors are double-checked and locked upon leaving. - Continuous Updates & Communication: You will receive detailed visit reports and photos after every drop-in, so you always know how your pet is doing, when they were fed, and that everything went smoothly. Tailored & Attentive Pet Care: - Routine & Consistency: I carefully follow your specific instructions for feeding, fresh water, medication timing, and exercise to keep your pet’s routine completely undisturbed. - Personalized Attention & Stress Reduction: Whether your pet loves high-energy playtime or just wants gentle, quiet cuddles on the couch, I meet every pet where they're at, adjusting to their personality and comfort zone. - Proactive Health & Behavior Awareness: With my background in dog boarding and veterinary assistant work, I continuously monitor body language and health to ensure your pet is safe, happy, and comfortable at all times.

About: I’ve shared my home with dogs and cats my entire life, rescuing pets of all ages from energetic youngsters to sweet seniors. Over the years, I’ve learned that every animal has a unique story, and I make it a priority to train every pet I bring into my home. This hands-on experience has taught me a massive amount about patience, adaptability, and animal behavior. More than anything, it has given me a deep sense of compassion and a real knack for connecting with animals. I love bringing that structure and care to their lives, and I'm excited to bring that same dedication to this role. I offer in-home pet care tailored to your pet's exact schedule. I work full-time at a school, I am available for quick drop-ins on weekday evenings. I have open availability on weekends to give your pet all the time and attention they need. I offer personalized in-home pet sitting and drop-in check-ins tailored to your pet's unique needs. Your pet's comfort is my top priority, which is why I strictly follow their established feeding and exercise to maintain their normal routine while you are away.

About: I have been taking care of my friend’s and family member’s pets for years, and would love to help my neighbors care for their own pets! I am currently working a hybrid schedule, usually Tuesday-Thursday in the Boston office, so I have plenty of time to help care for your pets! Usually afternoons are best for me, especially on non-remote days. We have a large yard, great for pets that love running around and playing, and lots of sun-lit rooms for the ones who love lounging!

About: Hey, thanks for checking out my profile. I’d like to start by introducing myself, my name is Tina and I’m a passionate caretaker who has 20 years of pet care experience. Since the age of 6 I’ve been caring for dogs and cats we had them in our home growing up as well as two parakeets. I pride myself in offering comprehensive services for furry companions and a loving environment for your pet to thrive. I’m skilled in dog walking, pet sitting over night or during the day, drop ins, grooming, and caring for senior dogs and cats. Also comfortable administering medications and taking animals to veterinary appointments. I’m dedicated to providing a quiet, peaceful and loving, safe environment tailored to each pet's needs. Im a trustworthy choice for pet owners seeking attentive, personalized care for each pet all dogs and cats are different and I’m pretty flexible in making sure I meet the needs of every individualized pet. I also take all kinds of requests depending on what your fur friend specifically needs. Also if transporting a pet is a concern or tough for whatever reason don’t worry because I can help with that as well if necessary. Im currently working full time as a train driver in the community locally. My days are quite flexible because I work only 5 minutes from home and I’m usually not away from the house on work days for more than 7 hours at a time. I’m off Tuesdays Wednesday and I have full availability during those days and early afternoons and evenings the other days because my shift sometimes ends at 1240pm. I also have some availability on the weekends after 2pm. The environment plays a vital role in the moods and well being of animals. I live in Arlington ma and it’s very very peaceful and quiet here and in my home. My home is clean and pet proof safe with gates sectioning each part of every room. Huge living room and open space for play and a gated closed off private backyard for outdoor play.

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover, proud dog mom to three rescue pups, and the founder of a nonprofit dog rescue! Through running my rescue, I've had the opportunity to work with dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, personalities, and backgrounds. I've gained valuable experience with everything from energetic puppies to shy, fearful dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. I also have extensive personal experience caring for dogs with medical conditions, allergies, autoimmune issues, and behavioral challenges. My own three rescue dogs have taught me that every dog is different, and I truly believe in taking the time to understand their individual needs, routines, and personalities. I'm comfortable working with dogs who may need extra attention, patience, or a slower introduction to new people and environments. Whether your pup loves long walks, prefers a relaxed stroll, or just needs some extra love and companionship, I'm happy to accommodate what makes them most comfortable. I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. My goal is to provide the same level of love, patience, and attention that I give my own dogs, while making sure you feel comfortable and confident that your furry family member is in good hands! I work full-time remotely in the legal industry, but I also own and operate a nonprofit dog rescue, so caring for animals is already a huge part of my everyday life! My current work schedule offers a great deal of flexibility, allowing me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care needs throughout the day and week. As a dog mom to three rescue pups, I'm no stranger to balancing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and individual care needs. I'm fortunate to have the flexibility to work around your pet's routine and provide them with the attention, patience, and love they deserve. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or some extra companionship, I'm happy to help make their day a little brighter! Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being will always be my top priorities! As the founder of a nonprofit dog rescue and a dog mom to three rescue pups, I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. I personally have a fearful, fear-reactive dog, so I understand just how challenging it can be to find someone who is patient, understanding, and willing to accommodate dogs who may need a little extra support. I've dedicated much of my life to accommodating my own dogs' individual medical, behavioral, and emotional needs, and I know that what works for one dog may not work for another. I understand that building trust takes time, and I never expect a dog to feel comfortable with me right away. Through both my rescue work and personal experience, I've learned the importance of respecting each dog's boundaries, recognizing body language, and allowing them to adjust at their own pace. I'm especially passionate about helping owners of anxious, fearful, or special-needs dogs feel confident that their pets are in understanding and compassionate hands. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routines and follow all instructions closely, whether that involves feeding schedules, medications, exercise, or specific behavioral accommodations. I believe in creating a calm, positive environment without forcing interactions or putting dogs in situations where they may feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed. I'm also more than happy to provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel reassured while you're away. I know what it's like to worry about leaving your pets in someone else's care, especially when they have unique needs. My goal is to provide the same patience, understanding, love, and attention that I've dedicated to my own dogs, while making sure both you and your pet feel safe and comfortable!

About: I've had pets my entire life and feel very comfortable with them! I grew up cat sitting for my neighbors, family and friends. Any cat or dog I've met I love like my own! I would love to take care of your pet- young, old, big and small! I currently work a full-time job but work from home three days a week. I am available for an hour between 8-5 and am free any time after 5pm! I am in office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so I am free after 5pm on those days. Weekends are pretty flexible! I will provide your pet with cuddles, pets, feedings and groom them regularly! I will take your pup for walks and have play time to get their energy out so they can take a solid nap while you're out of the house! I will spoil your cat or dog with lots of attention so they don't miss you too much!

My schedule is very flexible currently as I am between jobs. I also have a vehicle which makes traveling to you and your lovely pets much simpler! I ensure my pet is feeling safe and happy at all times to the best of my ability. I walk and feed the dogs and ensure they are cleaned if necessary. If I also make sure that the animal (cat or dog) has been fed and has enough water, and ensure their water is clean.

About: I recently graduated from Ohio State with a degree in animal science and a pre-vet concentration. I am planning to go to vet school and have a lot of experience with all different kinds of animals specifically within veterinary medicine. I work at a vet hospital as an assistant so I am more than comfortable administering medication and caring for senior animals. I have been boarding and walking dogs for the past eight years. I am comfortable with all different kinds of dogs and their needs. I am very active and love to be outside so I will make sure to take your dog on many walks and other outdoor activities, including hiking and swimming. I also have experience training dogs and am able to keep any routine that you have. Please feel free to send me an approximate daily schedule that I can follow with your pet so the transition is as stress less and comfortable as possible. I am home full time so your pet will have my undivided attention. A typical day consists of at least four walks and a lot of quality time and cuddles. I often go on hikes or will take my own dog swimming whenever the weather is nice out. As I have a dog of my own, my home is dog proofed and safe for any age. it is not fenced in, but if you want your dog to relax outside during the day, I do have a long leash that I can use.

About: Preferred Name: Del I adore animals, and as far as I can tell the feeling is mutual. Roommates, partners, and friends are always impressed by how quickly their pets take to me and jokingly complain that I'm "stealing" them away. I've cared for pets in my family since I was 12. I'm an enthusiastic walker and I'm adamant about keeping cats and dogs stimulated with playtime. Currently between jobs so my schedule is very flexible. As such, I'm free to devote all I can to taking care of your lovely critters. I make visits and house stays as appropriate. Meticulous about following pet care instructions to a T as you know your pet better than I ever could. Will make sure that your pet is stimulated, fed, loved, and cared for so that your absence goes hopefully as unnoticed as possible.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - East Walpole

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in East Walpole is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $40 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 1,709 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across East Walpole. 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 East Walpole. On Rover:

  • 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% 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.
