“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.”
“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!”
“Ashley provided such a wonderful care for my dog and cat. I am so pleased I will definitely have her come again. Thank you so much Ashley. I could be at peace while I was gone on vacation and that is really important to me.”
“Our second time booking Valerie - this time for a longer trip. We were so at ease knowing Valerie was taking care of our cats, especially our older cat who has medical needs and desires lots of affection. Valerie made sure to give her extra snuggles and attention, while also giving our other cat the space she desires. We will definitely book again!”
“If I could give her 100 stars, I would! I was traveling and couldn’t into our regular boarding and no other boarding facilities had openings. So I checked out Rover & booked a stay with Codi! It couldn’t have gone ANY better. She would send regular pictures with updates about their activity and well being! The whole trip I was able to relax knowing that are fur babies were being loved and truly attended to! I will absolutely recommend Codi & 100% will rebook with her again!”
“Natascha has taken care of our older dog several times now, and has done a great job! She is always on time, makes sure our girl is well fed and comfortable, and gives good updates on how things are going. would highly recommend!”
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.
“Karin is absolutely fantastic and both of my doggies adore her! This was our first time using Rover and Karin was awesome at explaining what we could expect and easing our mind. She also sent us cute photos during her visits to let us know everything was going well. We were so happy and the doggies can’t wait for Karin’s next check in!”
“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!”
“Constance spent a great deal of time at our meet and greet getting to know our dogs and me as the dog mom. I was so comfortable after that first meeting I asked her to check in on our cats that week! When I tell you she got the best photos of our “large and not so in charge” cat Henry Purrito…well, it made us happy. I could tell they were well cared for and happy. She’s responsive to requests, flexible and dependable. I’m looking forward to her walking our dogs five days a week!”
“She was great with my dogs. I appreciated being kept informed while I was gone. The videos she sent set me at ease because I could see my dogs being themselves and comfortable. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my dogs were being taken care of.”
“My 1st time using any online pet sitting service and I was lucky to have gotten Kim which was also a last minute emergency-request Christmas Break 2023. Kim was above and beyond great, kind, and helpful! My cat doesn't like any human as much as she does Me and now Kim! (My daughter isn't thrilled about that fact. LOL!) I completely trusted Kim with my home, my indoor cat and outdoor critters who also think they're family and can't be forgotten if I'm away. There was no doubt that I wanted Kim this 2nd time I had to be away. If I could give her more $, I always would because you can't put a price to the care and worry you and your pets feel when you have to be away from them. Kim KNOWS how to take care of ALL animals and she will care and respect your home (your pets home)! Thank you Kim for loving my Cat & my new Cat now too! My critters outside were also happy campers. Thank You for taking care of them too!”
“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.”
“Hannah is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to care for our doggies and our home, and kept us updated daily with a quick note and photos! We are thrilled to have found someone we trust and will deffinalty book with her again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Fernwood
Absolutely nothing to complain about. Khayl came by prior to trip to get a lay of the land and meet my whole damn zoo. They were super communicative, asking great questions and providing detailed pet updates daily. I know my pets were well taken care of because they barely batted an eye when we returned! Clearly Khayl provided them with more than adequate feedings and lovings. Would recommend.
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!
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.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Fernwood on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 6,342 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.
