“Zachary kept me up-to-date with photos and check-ins of his visits with Zeus. Knowing when Zachary was with Zeus and seeing pictures of my boy playing, cuddling, and eating was comforting and reassuring. Thank you, Zachary, for taking good care of Zeus!”
“I was happy to hear both of my cats were receptive to Jason. He was able to give them meds without a problem. Hoping the bonding will continue when I have Jason care for them again.”
About: I have owned a cat and a dog. I watch or check in on my friends' and family's pets when they are away from vacation. I WFH fairly regularly so check-ins are really easy. House sitting is doable, but would need to coordinate times as i have some activities with my kid. Animals are all about routine and I don't like to rock the boat. However you take care of your pets is how i want to provide for them.
“Sarah was the best cat sitter! She took such good care of our two cats while we were away. She sent a thorough update after every visit including pics of our cats. You can tell how much she loves animals! We definitely plan on using her again.”
“I scheduled Kelly at the last minute and she was more than willing to take care of my cat, Domino, for 3 days. She sent pictures at each daily visit to reassure me that my furbaby was well taken care of. Much appreciated Kelly!!”
About: With several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, I bring a deep passion for canine companionship to my work with Rover.com. My journey began six years ago, helping raise my first pup in my family’s home, and has evolved to include caring for my own dog and offering dog-watching services in my neighborhood during my downtime. My approach is highly personalized, ensuring each dog receives tailored care suited to their individual needs. I find joy in spending time with all dogs, including those with more challenging behaviors, and am dedicated to creating a nurturing and loving environment for them. Additionally, my experience has been further enriched through my work at a dog boarding and daycare facility, where I have honed my skills and deepened my understanding of canine care. As a current student, my availability varies with the academic calendar. Typically, I am available all weekend and most weekdays after the afternoon. During the holiday season, I travel and may be less accessible. However, I maintain a flexible schedule and can often accommodate requests on short notice. Please do not hesitate to reach out, and I will do my best to accommodate your needs. I treat pets with the same care and attention as if they were my own. Although I do not offer pet sitting services at my residence, I ensure that your home is treated with the utmost respect and care, just as I would my own. I understand the significant trust you place in allowing me into your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously.
“So grateful for Lauren and the way she cares for our pup! She is very communicative, responsive, and has followed through perfectly with all the things I’ve asked! I’ll definitely be reaching out the next time we need a sitter! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: My love for pets started 13 years ago when I got my first Samoyed during my freshman year of college. The following year, I welcomed a Husky into my apartment. After graduating, I became a cat owner as well and have cared for three cats over the years. Having lived with both dogs and cats for so long, I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and daily routines. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and attention I give my own. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m home most of the day aside from going to the gym. This gives me plenty of time to care for, play with, and spend time with your pets throughout the day. I have a spacious home with a large yard where dogs have plenty of room to relax and play. Depending on your dog’s preferences and routine, they can spend most of their time comfortably indoors or enjoy more time outside in the yard. I’ll always follow your care instructions and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.
“Donna was very good with my cats as far as I can tell. She kept me updated on how my cats were doing, which can be hard since they are both shy and don’t usually come out for people.”
“I highly recommend Kayla G. My dogs are very spoiled and do not really like people who do not live in our house, but they love her. I have asked Kayla back a few times so I could go away on vacation and she was very communicative and took great care of them.”
“Emily was able to watch both of my cats on short notice, and she was nothing short of perfect! From the meet and greet (where both of my cats took an immediate liking to her), to her updates (with pictures!) everyday, I truly felt comfortable with having her watch them. I would 100% recommend Emily to anyone needing a Rover sitter.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our cat received from Ann! She was wonderful about spending quality time with her, making sure she got plenty of play and attention while we were away. It’s clear our cat was well looked after and content. We highly recommend Ann’s services and will definitely book again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 4,748 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Harvard. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Harvard. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
