“Nora did a fantastic job! We came home to a clean, odor free home. Our fur-babies were not super stressed and actually ate their food while we were gone. We will definitely use her again. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda was great with my kitties. They are all pretty shy to begin with but one of them is a harder one to befriend than the others. By the end of the 4 days that she was watching them, she was able to interact with that cat. I had a really last minute booking and she was very gracious about coming over to meet the cats before I left. She was able to get a picture of where each cat was on each day, even when one was hiding under the covers of the bed. It was nice to get the summary of how each cat reacted as well. Would recommend!”
“Ashley is just amazing! She really treated my pups like her own and was prompt in her check ins, spent quality time with them and really gave me peace of mind. She is a amazing sitter and highly recommend if you want the closest to family to take care of your babies.”
“Natascha did an excellent job taking care of my sweet boy this weekend. She sends great pictures and awesome updates throughout her visit. Hugo loves his new friend!”
“Fantastic, and I absolutely love that she’s okay with consistently checking my pup. I feel at ease knowing she’ll spend good, quality time with our dog. Definitely recommended!”
“Wynona jumped in to help us out when our regular sitter was unavailable. She was wonderful!! She was prompt, communicative, and helped looked after our home while we were gone. She went out of her way to visit an additional day when I had a delivery too. Super sweet, and thoughtful. She even came by ahead of time to learn the nuances. Highly recommend!”
“Constance was great! She was quick to respond and timely on the visit with our pups. She met with our anxious pups before booking. She was sweet on them and stayed around until our pups came out from hiding under the bed. Glad I trusted Constance to check on them!”
“My dogs were so excited to have Christine drop by for a visit during one of my long work days! I came home and could instantly tell she did a great job entertaining them and making sure they had ample time for potty breaks, following all of my guidelines to a T. She communicated very well and I am so grateful for her care. Looking forward to having her stay with them for an extended trip at the end of summer.”
“We had Meghan caring for our two cats for 26 DAYS when we were in Europe and she did an amazing Job with their food and litter boxes and our older cat's medication - Both cats are clean and happy and healthy and we are very pleased with her love and care for them. We have booked her services again for the Christmas holidays.”
“Khale was a wonderful sitter for my two girls (senior cats). She arrived promptly as scheduled, even when it snowed!! My girls warmed up to her quickly and I really appreciate how intuitive she was to their needs (eating, drinking, playing styles, etc). I will definitely book again! ❤️”
“Above and beyond care! I don’t normally leave reviews with anything but I really wanted to in this case. I have an automatic water fountain which is normally filled with enough to last them a week if it didn’t get topped off. Erica was concerned they were drinking more than what could get them through between her visits so she put an extra water bowl down for them in addition to refilling the fountain. That is going above and beyond and showed real compassion for my kitties and that is something I really value. She went out of her way to ensure they wouldn’t need anything while I was away. And she was so very kind to bring in my packages left on my doorstep. I didn’t ask her to but she saved them from the rain and took them in for me. KitKat my very shy kitty even liked her so she has my seal of approval! I will ABSOLUTELY go to her again if I need someone to watch my fur babies!!!!! Trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate!”
About: Hi! I am a stay-at-home mom of two human babies and two fur babies. I previously worked in upstate NY for a dog training company, My Dog Hikes, as a dog hiker where we took dogs from NYC into the woods for full day dog-care fun. Because of this I am comfortable giving medication and training commands. I also have a Cattle Dog (Clayton) and Black Lab (Tarzan) of my own. I would love to take your little ones on the trails, play fetch in the yard, or just snuggle on the couch with lots of pets. I have a very open schedule so can work around any timeframe you need! As childcare is very expensive, please note before booking me that my son, Eli (3), will be joining me on jobs during the week (daytime only). We can always meet beforehand to see if it's a good fit! **Temporarily pausing in home stays until my husband returns home from deployment** As I am a stay-at-home mom your typical work week is when I am available. I can be flexible around your schedule! I can also stop by to spend some time with your pets on the weekend, so you can go enjoy a trip away. (: I do not care for dogs in my own home as my Lab does not like other dogs. In your home, however, I take care to follow all instructions closely! I take many pictures so prepare for cuteness overload. I also have experience working with a dog training/walking company in NYC and am comfortable with a wide array of needs.
“Anna’s help in caring for my cat was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’d never hired a pet sitter before, but she’ll be my go-to from now on. My cat is extremely social and I was concerned he’d be lonely while I was away for several weeks. Anna spent lots of time giving him attention and play. My cat also compulsively scratches himself, and with me gone he kicked it up a notch and tore through the skin. Anna had no problem giving him his pills and cleaning the wound. Additionally, she fed and kept an eye on our fish. She is an absolute saint: professional, communicative, and a lovely human to boot. Hire her!”
“Hannah was available last minute to check in on Dolly for us. She made time to stop by and meet Dolly and ask questions the day before. I appreciated the care taken. We will be requesting Hannah again. Thank you.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 14. My first dog was a lab mix and he is now 14 years old. I currently have two cats and two dogs of my own that I have taken care of for the past few years. I have also helped friends and neighbors with their little furry friends by walking and feeding them. My current schedule for right now can be any night time stays. I can also help out anytime after 7:30am Monday to Fridays, or weekends full-day. I am close to local dog parks which I take my two puppies to everyday. They love to play with other dogs there and play tug of war or catch at the park. I also love to take walks by the water or go on hikes with my dogs.
About: I’ve been a pet owner for the past decade and have plenty of experience dog/cat sitting for different friends and family. I love animals and enjoy caring for and playing with them while becoming their best bud I’m currently working a job Mon-Thurs with fluctuating hours, but I am typically free after 12pm to take care of any furry friends. I live in a two story house with plenty of clean space in the first floor for a dog to relax and trot around. Upstairs are where all the bedrooms are and if any pups are iffy with stairs, we have a baby gate ready to be used! I live very close to a park good for walks

Khayl was a really excellent sitter for our two kitties Magic and Pepper. The detailed updates with photos, videos, and information really put my mind at ease over vacation and I knew the kitties were getting VIP treatment! I will definitely book with Khayl again and cannot recommend her enough.
Nora was amazing! She took such great care of my pets and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and photos—it was clear they were comfortable and well cared for. She was reliable, communicative, and just overall easy to work with. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
Victoria was wonderful! I have two cats who are usually very shy around new people, but they were comfortable around her. She took pictures every time she came over, and from the very first day, she had the shy cats interacting and playing with her. She was communicative throughout and took excellent care of things, including giving photo updates on how much they’d eaten. I would definitely book her again in the future.
Kate did a great job! I needed help last minute with my cat and she was ready and available to help. Met with her virtually via rover app, I felt comfortable with her right away. She gave very detailed check ins. Absolutely will use her again and recommend her to others.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Fernwood on Rover is $22.76 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 6,280 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Fernwood. 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 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.
