“Valerie gain the trust of my cat who is slow to trust and has daily meds. She communicated when anything was observed or happened. The cats responded to her consistent timing of her visits. Thank you!”
“Leyna did a fantastic job! She was so attentive to details, thoughtful, and went above and beyond. Great with discussing medical symptoms, coordinating logistics, and more, and we returned to a spotless kitchen and healthy and happy cat. Can’t recommend Leyna enough!”
About: Hi, I'm Alice! I live in Malden and I love spending time outdoors with dogs. I have owned a dog before, and I have also helped friends walk their medium-sized dogs. I exercise regularly, and I am comfortable with active dogs. I offer calm, one-on-one walks in Malden and nearby areas. I will follow your dog's normal routine, keep your dog on leash at all times, clean up after them, and make sure they have fresh water when we get back. I am also happy to do drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, and a short play or potty break. After every walk or visit, I will send you photos and a short update, so you know how your dog did. I am patient, on time, and happy to meet you and your dog first with a free meet & greet. Please feel free to message me with any questions! > I'm a freelancer with a fully flexible schedule, so I'm available for dog walks 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Whether you need an early-morning walk, a midday break, or a late-night outing, I can work around your dog's routine. I'm also happy to accommodate special requests and last-minute bookings, even over the holidays. Your dog's safety is always my top priority. On every walk, I double-check that the leash and harness are secure, keep your dog on leash at all times, and stay alert around traffic, other dogs, and anything unsafe on the ground. I follow your instructions closely, from the route and pace to treats and any special care needs. When I visit your home, I treat it with respect, make sure your dog is settled with fresh water, and lock up securely before I leave. I'll also send photos and updates after each walk so you always know how your pup is doing.
“Julia took outstanding care of Duchess once again. Right before we left, Duchess was prescribed a new medication by the vet. Julia was able to give her the new medication and sent frequent updates so I could have a worry-free time away! From the pictures, it also looks like Duchess had a great time!”
“Karen was amazing with my 2 cat babies!! Loved getting the photos from her and knowing they were being taken good care of. Good communicator, very kind person, and loves animals. Would most definitely recommend and will definitely book again! :)”
“Nick did such an amazing job with my 3 month old puppy!! It was her first time being left along for so long and Nick helped her ease into it with awesome play breaks. Nick is the best!”
“Glad to be repeat clients of Angela. Our cat is always happy and healthy when we come home and she goes the extra mile to make sure our nothing is amiss at our house when we arrive back. She gives great updates that set our mind at ease when we are away!”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life and have cared for them since I was five years old. Over the years, my family has had up to three dogs at a time, giving me experience with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I am comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes and always aim to make them feel loved, safe, and happy. Whether it is a long walk or quiet company, I treat every pet like my own. As a nurse and full-time student, I am looking for a rewarding study break with a furry companion. My schedule is flexible, and I am available to provide pet care several days a week. Spending time with animals is the perfect balance to my busy routine, and I love turning those breaks into quality time for your pet. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all routines and instructions closely, keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I take extra care to ensure doors and gates are secure, walks are done safely, and pets receive the attention they need. Whether it is playtime, feeding, or just company, I treat every animal with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
“Yiqi was amazing! She was very responsive and sent great photos of my two cats. She made me feel comfortable that my cats were being very well taken care of while I was away.”
About: grew up surrounded by pets, so caring for them comes naturally. My experience looking after children makes me patient, responsible, and loving — the same way I care for every dog or cat, as if they were part of my own family. I am available for pet care from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, as I work with children in the afternoons. During this time, I can provide feeding, playtime, walks, medication administration, and lots of attention to ensure pets feel safe and happy. I’m flexible with occasional early mornings or later pickups if needed I ensure pets feel safe and comfortable whether in my home or theirs. I create a calm and clean environment, provide fresh food and water, and supervise them at all times. I follow any specific instructions from the owner, including medication or special care, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection.
“Yuting was amazing! She provided me w regular updates and photos! I felt very comfortable and knew my cat was in good hands! I will definitely request her services again!”
“It is the second time I trusted my two cats with Tawana for my summer vacations, and just as the first time, she was great. She followed all the instructions on her drop-in visits and sent plenty of photos and videos. Even the shyest of my cats came to play with her, which honestly got me on surprise since he is not a peoples-cat. She also facilitated everything with clear communication and helped to solve an issue caused by my mistake since I had not updated my address in the app. Thank you very much!”
“Sasha was a wonderful caretaker for our cat! She was very responsive, kept us aware of the goings on in the apartment, and took some stellar photos of her. Highly recommend! Thanks Sasha!”
About: Hi! I have grown up around dogs and cats since I was a kid. I had a mini Australian Shephard for 8 years. I have experience dog and house sitting for family and friends. This includes overnight stays, walks, feeding, playing, and administering medications when needed. I have had my cat Saylor for a year & half and live in a house with a total of 4 cats. I have volunteered at local animal shelters for years and spent a year volunteering at a local vet clinic. I have loved animals since I was a kid and am so excited at the chance of getting to care for your fur babies! I currently work full time but work from home on Monday's and Thursday's. I am available after 4:30pm through the week and have open availability on Saturday's and Sunday's. I can take dogs out on walks, check out the parks or hit the hiking trails. I have tons of cat toys at home that offer different kinds of stimulation and would be happy to play with your cat or kittens at home.
“Metehan and Aya took great care of Fig and Pesto for over a week while we were away. We got picture and video updates regularly and they asked questions when they wanted clarification on anything. They were very accommodating and their apartment has lots of great places for the cats to hide, explore, and lounge, while being very clean. They were great hosts and very welcoming. We would recommend!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Malden
Rebecca is wonderful! She is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I always feel completely comfortable knowing my cat is in her care. She takes the time to give her attention and affection, and I really appreciate the updates and photos while I’m away. I would absolutely recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Aurora is a kind person, great communicator, and dilligent petsitter. She takes excellent care of my cat. She follows care instructions carefully and sends status updates and pictures of her visits. She's made a big effort right from the beginning to befriend my shy cat and make him feel comfortable. I would absolutely recommend hiring Aurora.
Elizabeth was wonderful with our aging girly. Our cat is older and needs some special attention and care when we’re out of town. Elizabeth was so helpful and went above and beyond for her. She gave detailed updates of her visits along with pictures. All of which gave us much peace of mind that our sweet girl was doing well in our absence.
10/10! Fernanda is an amazing cat sitter who is incredibly attentive, caring, and communicative. Lots of playtime, regular updates, and photos made me feel so comfortable knowing my cats were in such good hands. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares and I couldn’t recommend her more! She’s the best!
It can take Pico a couple visits to warm up to someone new giving medicine (this was her first visit with Courtney). Courtney gave us a detailed update, lots of photos, and gave Pico time and space to get comfortable with her. Would definitely rebook for future visits!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Malden is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $44 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
