“Working with Anna on a plan to help provide kitty sitting in our home for a few days was a pleasure. Her approach & focus on the pets first while also being attentive to how our home works was a relief! She made it very comfortable & easy to trust her with our home & pets. We would definitely recommend her services & will book with her again.”
“Sarah is the best!! She is a wonderful cat sitter, very good with our sweet old boy. She went the extra mile giving him extra attention, she was great with updates and gave me peace of mind that our old kitty was in good hands! Will book again and would recommend!”
About: I have experience with multiple breeds and sizes of dogs and groups. I have worked with all age groups from newborns to seniors. I am familiar with medicating, diets, and anxiety levels. I have trained my dogs for basic commands and to walk with a leash. Learned personality and needs to tailor my attention and care to each individual. I work a part time job and go to school so I have plenty of free time to care for your pets! I am available monday-friday for dog and cat care. I can easily follow directions and follow the needs and care of each individual pet. I have experience with training, crating and caring for special cases as needed. I have worked with dogs in group situations and introduction situations. I can also read body language and attune myself to each pets needs and personality.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager and have experience with cats, dogs, and other pets. Always great care and enjoy spending time with your animals. I am a paraeducator and therefore work from 8:40 to 3:40 Monday through Friday during the school day. I also have horses so do like to be able to go and exercise them at least on weekends while pet sitting. I try to be there for the pets as much as possible especially on the work week and will usually head straight to the house after work. Then will hang out with the pets feed and take care of any basic needs.
“Tish took great care of our kitties and although I had forgotten to book her earlier, when I realized this and reached out to her she made the process seamless! Thkyou Tish!”
About: I've taken care of of family pets since at least 8 years old, I've trained puppies. Ive always loved animals and I've had Dogs, Cats, and Reptiles. I've never missed a feeding time for any of our pets. I make sure to feed our dogs in the morning and the night, or whatever schedule has been asked. But I have plenty of free time for playing with my animals. Well I love to walk so dogs always get enough exercise, and I make sure to groom my dogs monthly, and I make sure to feed all of my pets well enough.
“We were lucky to find a caretaker like Terry for our senior while we were away. She clearly has a love for animals and our cats got along with her. She gave oral med to one of our cats daily. Her daily pictures were great to see as we knew they were being well taken care of. She even offered to help out if we got delayed coming home or if we needed any additional visits which gave us an added peace of mind while we were away. Terry is easy to get along with and is very reliable.”

“This was our first experience with Rover and we couldn’t be happier with Emily’s cat sitting. Emily took great care of our two cats and sent updates throughout our long trip. Would definitely book again!”
“As always we got some great photos of our kitty from our drop-in reports. Dasha is always very communicative and lets us know what is going on. I know our kitty is in good hands and gets the attention and playtime that she wants every day when we are out of town thanks to Dasha! :-)”
About: I have been around animals for my whole life and have spent a lot of time walking, caring for, and training dogs. I have had various different types of pets in the past including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and hamsters, so I understand that each pet is unique with their own personality. Each pet has different needs and I am good at accommodating them. I currently am taking time off from working, so my schedule is open at the moment. I am available at most times, but morning to late afternoon works best. I will make sure that your pets get enough attention, mental stimulation and exercise so that they do not cause any issues in your home.
“Ethan was wonderful and very attentive to my cat’s needs. His communication was excellent from the start, and I felt completely at ease leaving my cat in his care. Would definitely book his services again!”
“Lady Ashen does it again. Lady Ashen is starting to become the foster parent for my two girls. They are very relaxed and spoiled Ashen has no problem with last minute reservations and is more then accoma”
“Jessica was wonderful! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures while we were gone. She even helped us with our trash bins and left our home nice and clean.”
About: Before I was able to get a job, I used to walk my neighbors dogs all the time. Later in life, I was given the privilege of volunteering at NOAH animal shelter. There I was able to learn alot about animal care and common needs and wants of both cats and dogs I own 5 rats at home. One if them has a bad repertory infection. I take care of each of them with love and a careful hand. Due to being prey, they are often quite spooked, so I regularly take my time and ease into them very gently and over time. I live in a small apartment. But when we used to have a dog, we would leash and walk her frequently. Enough to the point where she was able to loose healthy weight from being overweight.

Bhargavi did an excellent job caring for our three cats. She is the first cat sitter that was able to get our cats to come out of hiding for attention. She sent us regular updates with pictures; we weren’t so worried about our fur babies. We will use Bhargavi in the future and would highly recommend her.
I am so glad that I chose Jeffrey to watch my cat, Kami Jo, while I was on vacation. He was responsive, followed directions, and kept me updated with plenty of photos. I could tell that she was happy and enjoyed his company. I would highly recommend him and use him again. My cat is quite messy so it was a relief to come home and see everything tidy and organized. Thanks again.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Machias is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 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.

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.

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.
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.
