“Brenda was absolutely wonderful watching our three kitties! We got thourough updates each day on how they were doing and they all seemed so at ease with her feeding, brushing, and playing with them.”
“Absolutely amazing 🤩 thank you so much for watching Myles and Fyodor while we were away. To name a few things we loved - the toys you shared to keep our kitties entertained,your attire, attitude, communication and pictures! :))”
“Susie was a phenomenal cat sitter - she was attentive to all of Mocha's needs and was playful and comforting to her throughout the visit. The frequent photos and updates were so appreciated. Mocha got along with her immediately and had a wonderful time while I was away. I'd recommend Susie to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you so much for taking care of Mocha on short notice and for treating her so well!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets and have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve also cared for newborn kittens and helped care for my cat after giving birth, so I’m comfortable with very young and sensitive pets. I’m attentive, patient, and focused on keeping animals safe, happy, and loved. I can work part-time mainly in the afternoon during weekdays Tuesday through Thursday and I’m available to sit overnight during weekends and also Monday and Friday I provide care in clients’ homes to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow their routine closely! Feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care. I’m attentive, respectful of your space, and focused on keeping your pet safe, happy, and stress-free.
About: I have had animals all of my life- cats, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, newts, frogs, hamsters gerbils, parakeets and even an ant farm at one point! I have helped pet sit for other people and my daughter also does pet sitting. I have been a nurse for 37 years and I also volunteer at Nevin's Farm weekly. I know how important it is to have a reliable person to check on your animals while you are away or just at work. I would like to expand what I do and be that person for you. I work at the hospital three times a week and on my off days I am available to come check your pet, give them potty breaks, feed them, whatever they need to make them comfortable while you are not there. Sometimes my days might vary but hopefully a routine could be established that suits us both. I am happy to go by any instructions you leave for your pet - where they are allowed to go or be, what you want me to put out for them for food or water, etc... Just let me know because I want to keep their routine and environment the same as if you were there in that moment. I would like to think that if my animals could talk they would give me high marks for all I do for them to keep them clean/cared for/walked. I think they are happy with me!!! But I guess I do something right as my friends and family always call me for advice or when they want to adopt and say "Where should I go? What do I need? Is this a good choice? Will you go with me?" So I take these asks as good compliments.
About: My experience with animals is 10+ years. I currently have six reptiles including a snake and I have a black lab named Raven and some bettas, too. Other experience includes veterinary internships with hands-on experience, I worked at a farm, I worked at a doggy daycare, and I have passed vet technology courses online. My business is called Mac’s Petcare through which I walk dogs and take care of pets. I really enjoy my career and I would love to work with cats too! I currently only work with dogs but am definitely open to caring for cats. I can do weekdays from around 2-5PM!! I also accept other requests. I walk dogs from 10 AM-2 PM currently, and I love it very much❤️ I try to make sure they feel safe at all times and I make sure they have a good time as well👍😊💜 I absolutely love working with the animals!!
“Alex was great to work with! He went above and beyond- stopping by for extra playtime, changing the litter, and troubleshooting our water fountain while we were gone. Took great care of our cats while we were away for our honeymoon”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cats received! Natalie was incredibly reliable, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My cats were relaxed and happy when I returned—clearly well looked after. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter! 🐾”
“Gulnoza was super kind to our cat Bono. He is very anxious around strangers and the way she has a special room for him helped make the stay comfortable. She also eased my mind with pictures each time I book her boarding services. I’m very appreciative of having a home for our cat when we needed to travel.”
About: I’ve worked at doggy daycares and have experience with dog walking and overnight (pictures in my profile are from the daycare and other pets I’ve cared for) and I can feed, bathe, and walk. Ive taken care of all sizes and breeds, high energy and low! My schedule flexible and I am available every day! Pet care fits into my daily routine and it is my top priority to make your pet happy and satisfied! I usually go by what the pet owners would like me to do when I’m there but something I always do is make sure I’m giving them my full attention and time when I am there!
About: I’ve cared for animals since I was 12, with my family pets, as well as many others! I have experience with special needs, old age, medication, etc. Message me for more details! I’m currently working part time as a nanny, so I have plenty of time for check ins and overnights with your furbabies! Even if it’s simply walks you’re seeking, please feel free to reach out! I offer nearly 24/7 supervision, as well as around the clock socialization. I have Mondays off, and only work a half day Tuesdays! Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday I am home before 5!
About: I am a high school teacher on summer break with lots of extra time to walk, play with, and take care of your pets! I grew up with three adorably needy golden retrievers who thought they were laps dogs and a delightfully sassy cat, so I am used to taking care of cats and dogs, big and small! I've also lived with cats in adulthood and taken care of them while my roommate was away. I adore animals and have excess amounts of love to give them since I don't yet have another dog of my own! My services: I am here for walks, park visits, and home stays (chock full of lots of pets and general attention) in the Boston-Metro area! My location: Somerville, MA I'm currently on summer break and while I'll be in and out of town for different trips/weddings I have a lot of availability and flexibility to provide walks, extra care, or overnight stays with your pets! I treat all dogs and cats as if they were my own, showering them with tons of love and attention. You can expect your pet to be a little spoiled and to be sent a ton of adorable pictures!
About: Hi! I’ve been living and taking care of animals since I was a kid. I have always loved, connecting with dogs and cats. For at least the past decade, I have walked, fed, and stayed overnight with neighbors’ animals, so I’m well versed in the responsibilities of caring for furry friends! I also took care of my elderly dog for many years before she passed at 16, so I know how to help make older dogs feel comfortable. I truly believe all animals deserve loving attention, and I can’t wait to help care for yours. :) I am a student and work part time in Somerville. My availability is very flexible, and I can also easily adjust my schedule to fit your needs. I spend lots of time outside, so I am eager to walk dogs/play outside with them, and take care of your pets! I have a fenced in patio/backyard. I live on the upper unit of my house, but there is A/C to cool off the animals on a hot day.
About: I've been doing pet care since I was 8 and have lots of experience with animals of all ages and personalities. Typical animal care from me looks like refilling food and water, walks, cleaning litter boxes, and finding creative ways to keep your animals thoroughly entertained. This summer I'm taking online college classes so my schedule is super flexible. The only set times I'll be busy doing virtual classes are from 11:00-4:30 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Please let me know what times work for you. I will always make sure to keep your dogs on leashes when not in fenced in areas to ensure your pup's safety is accounted for.
About: I am happy to spend extra time to help your pet feel cared for and get the exercise they need. I'm experienced in caring for dogs, cats, and rodents (hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs) I recently finished school, and am looking for work. I'm currently available full-time for pet care. Even after I find employment, I plan to continue making time for pet care. I primarily care for pets in my clients' homes, since my own dog is territorial. My clients' pets are happy to be cared for in surrounding they are familiar with.
“Liz is an amazing sitter! She looked after my cat while I was on vacation and did an excellent job! My cat usually takes a long while to feel comfortable with new people, but within only a couple visits she quickly opened up to Liz! Liz was very attentive in following care instructions. She provided detailed updates and photos for each visit. Highly recommend her services!”

Stephanie is the absolute best. She gives the best care to our two boys, paying special attention to our shy one, and gives detailed updates with great pictures and videos. It's such a relief to know that, when we are gone, our guys will not just get food and water, they'll get all the love and pets they need. Thank you!
Sophia was a great cat sitter for us when we were away for an extended few days in the summer. Both our outgoing and our shy cat came out to enjoy her attention and we very much appreciated the updates and pictures she sent. Sophia was very communicative with updates and asking any questions that came up, and didn’t bat an eye at cleanup some “extra messes” that the cats left her. In addition to two happy cats, she also helped out watering our outdoor plants which was critical on some record hot days. We would highly recommend Sophia for any of your cat sitting needs!
Briana was great! Went above and beyond. Took great care of our cat and house. Brought in all our packages and provided great photos and report cards. She even walked to our house during a snowstorm when the roads weren’t plowed to make sure our cat got fed and cuddles. Would definitely use her again!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lexington is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 per visit.

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 .

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.
