“Courtney did an excellent job caring for my cat. She followed all instructions and provided detailed updates. I especially appreciated her patience and understanding with my cat, as she is typically very scared and anxious around new people. I would definitely book Courtney again and highly recommend!”
“Valerie took great care of our 6 kitties while we were away. It was a tall ask with lots of instructions. She handled it like a pro and was able to administer meds twice a day to our oldest, most skiddish boy. I felt confident that the kitties were in good hands.”
“We had a great experience with Lisa! She dropped in on our two cats while we were out of town, and she was very trustworthy, kind, attentive, and always sent detailed notes about her visits along with lots of photos. We'll absolutely book her again!”
About: I am a corporate gal with a work from home job who loves pets of all types and sizes. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, and chickens and have spent time volunteering at animal shelters and caring for others’ pets since I was very young. I work from home, so my schedule is very adaptable. I take meetings or draft documents all day, with plenty of breaks in between for play time, potty time, or exercise for your pets. Since I am home with your pet while I work, they will be very well supervised. I have experience working and living with escape artists and know how to handle sneaky little friends!
“This is our second time booking with Monica. She is awesome! She is a great communicator, and always gives us detailed updates with photos. I can tell our kitty really likes her!! Highly recommend”
“Allison was so great! Very reliable and responsive and clearly cares about pets. She took great care of Starshine and it was clear Starshine loved her visits. I appreciated the super detailed reports and super cute pics. Thanks so much!”
“Alex was such a GREAT companion to our domestic shorthair! She loved him! Alex was super great with communication and very transparent with everything. He also gave Shona her time and space to open up. I’d highly recommend him if you’re looking for a cat sitter :)”
“Szu cared for my cats twice a day for four days with drop in visits, and was timely and communicative. She included pictures and detailed updates of the cats and took care of their feeding and cleaning schedules.”
“Angela is a top-tier pet sitter! She wrote the most wonderful details about every single visit and got such excellent pictures every time. We will certainly be using her as our go to from now on!”

“Haowen was great! He took care of our cat while we were out of town for a couple of weeks. He was attentive and easy to communicate with. Everything went pretty smoothly. Highly recommended!”
“Kat was great with Bella! Bella enjoyed the time that Kat spent with her. I enjoyed getting the pictures of Bella every time Kat came over while I was gone and seeing how happy Bella was! Thank you Kat for taking care of Bella and my mums!!!”
“Leyna is great!! She is very nice and great communication! She treats my cat very nicely and follows the instructions very carefully! Lots of pictures and videos! I will def book with her again!”
“Michele was perfect! My cat is definitely not the easiest to work with and it was his first time being left with a stranger for a few days. She did amazing with him and it was obvious he warmed up quickly with her. I definitely recommend Michele for anyone!”
“Bryn was completely professional and we trusted her implicitly! Our cat was in great hands and she didn't have any of the stress litterbox issues she's had when we've gone away previously. That's all thanks to Bryn! She was super communicative and respectful. Thank you Bryn for taking such good care of our little fuzzy gremlin.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Malden
Caitlin was wonderful with Latte! She was incredibly caring and patient, and I loved seeing Latte slowly grow to trust her even though she was initially very nervous. Caitlin's daily notes and photos gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She also went above and beyond by taking great care of my fish and plants. I’m so grateful for everything she did and would absolutely trust her with Latte again!
Matilde has taken care of our cat, Ellie, multiple times now and she is truly the best! She is so thoughtful, compassionate, and always goes above and beyond to make sure Ellie is happy and well taken care of. Ellie can be a bit spicy and timid, but Matilde is incredibly patient and always respects her boundaries. We feel completely comfortable and at ease knowing Ellie is in her care when we are away!
Valerie did an amazing job taking care of our two cats. She provided great summaries of the visits with fun pictures. One of our cats can sometimes be a bit fussy to eat and she handled it with ease. We would definitely recommend Valerie and would have her sit again for us in the future!
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!
Again, Hoawen and Yi provided excellent care for my cats, and accommodated last minute changes on my end. They did a great job with my geriatric cat Wynston who has special requirements. Lots of pictures which helped me to relax knowing they are in good hands. Thank you!!
Annaliese was such a great sitter to work with! She was very attentive to all of our animals and extremely communicative with us. She took such great care of our animals when we were gone and was patient with our shy/nervous cat and took the time to adapt and learn how to make our cats experience with the sitter visits better over the 3 days that Annaliese sat for us. We really appreciated her calm nature and willingness to get to know our pets and their needs. We will absolutely be reaching out again for future pet sitting needs!
Danny was great! He looked after our two cats while we were on a hiking trip out of town; once we returned, it was clear both had been well taken care of! Danny was very communicative throughout the duration of their care and went above and beyond to look after our property while we were gone. If you book with Danny, you'll be in good hands!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Malden on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Malden. On Rover:
- 91% 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.
