“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!”
“Abbey is AWESOME! She's our new go to sitter, we feel very lucky to have found her. To start she's very genuine so you trust her immediately - not only did us humans feel that way but our 'I only like mommy' cat warmed up to Abbey from the moment she walked in the door. She handled the medication and feedings with no problem and clearly was looking forward to having some hang time with our guys. And she's a great photographer - we got a mess of fun photos each day. We just hope she sticks around the area!”
“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!”
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!
“Really great at communicating and very flexible! She took amazing care of my kitty and sent me a lot of photos while she was there. Would definitely book her again!”
“Page arrived on time, was very professional and connected with Mucci very quickly. she sent us frequent updates .. we were happy to see that Mucci was at ease and happy when we got back. First time we used Page's services and probably not the last time.”
“Yiqi was amazing!! She sent so many pictures, made sure everything was cleaned up (our cat is a very messy eater) and followed all directions flawlessly. 10/10 would recommend and rehire for sure!!”
“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! :)”
“Kathryn was amazing and really made us feel comfortable leaving our cats behind for a 10 day trip. She sent thoughtful messages and tons of pics that showed her loving care and thoughtfulness! We highly recommend and will definitely be repeat customers!”
“I think one of my cats actually prefers Julia over me. She was pampered with toys and hair brushes that Julia brought over. My other cat is antisocial but was friendly with her which made me happy! Julia was available last minute for booking and she even adjusted her schedule after I booked the wrong times 😭. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied and delighted with her attentiveness and service! Would 1000% book again!”
“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 :)”
About: Hi! My name is Jhechel, but most people call me Kacey, which is my middle name. I have a medium-sized puppy named April. She came from a shelter, and although we’re not exactly sure what breed she is, we do know that she is incredibly loving, sweet, and affectionate. I live in a single-family home with a fenced-in front yard, which gives April plenty of space to enjoy. I have been working with dogs for the past three years and have experience caring for and training dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I have a three-year-old dog of my own, whom I have been training since she was about four months old. April had a very difficult life before my family and I adopted her. She experienced abuse at a young age, which caused her to develop severe anxiety, especially around other dogs and men. It took months of patience, consistency, hard work, and lots of love to help her become more comfortable and confident. Seeing how far she has come has been incredibly rewarding, and it has taught me a lot about working with dogs who need extra patience and understanding. I also have experience caring for senior dogs. My family took in a senior dog named Bailey who was around 10 years old and suffered from severe cataracts, as well as pain and stress related to her age. Bailey had difficulty getting along with other dogs, but she and April became very close. April was extremely patient and gentle with her, and their bond helped improve Bailey’s mood and overall well-being. Bailey had also been a stray and had been missing from her previous home for about a week before coming to us. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to train, care for, and look after many puppies and dogs. Working with animals is something I genuinely love, and it brings me so much joy. I especially enjoy helping dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved, no matter their age, background, or personality. I am home all day for 3 days Friday, Saturday and Sunday. However I can be very flexible and will make time if needed, all I ask is to let me know ahead of time. I will make sure that the pets are fed on time and they are walked for the designated time the owner assigned and I will care and love them!
“Dennis was wonderful! He was attentive to my cat, Maho, and communicative with me, too, because when you go away and put your animal in somebody else’s care, you definitely want to know they are taken care of. My cat really liked him. I would definitely hire Dennis again. Dennis did an excellent job. He has a warm personality, too. Don’t be dissuaded by his profile picture (which I suggested he change) because it’s not doing him justice. He’s a good guy.”
About: I have grown up with animals all my life! I first started walking my neighbors German Shepard when I was 12 years old and I grew up with three cats in the our household. I had my own dog Guiness who was a silly goofy boxer until last year. I’m comfortable around any size dog as well as cats I have a unique work schedule where I have pretty early shifts so please take a look before scheduling! I work Sunday 9am-3pm, Monday 7am-4:30pm, Tuesday 6am-3pm, Wednesday 7:30-3:30p as well as later a shift on Thursdays 12pm-8pm so I have availability most people won’t have with an 8am-5pm job. With working Sunday-Thursdays, I’m available all day On Fridays! When I had my dog this schedule was really nice so he would only be left alone at home for around 4 hours at a time. I know how important it is to make sure your pet gets their energy out and bathroom breaks when you’re not there. I make sure any environment I’m in is clean and pet friendly whether that means crating your dog if they need to be after visiting or making sure I’m aware of my surroundings in walks. My dog was reactive towards other dogs so I have experience with reactivity and will be aware of other dogs while on walks. During visits I would love to play with your pet with their toys, puzzles, or lick mats whatever they need I’m there! I do have experience giving dogs medication as well if that’s something you need! I don’t have experience giving cats medication.
About: I family used to have dogs when I was young. I don’t have mine cuz I can’t afford it. The time I spent with my dog is my most precious memory. I can walk with dog besides Friday Saturday and Sunday afternoon and night. I have a part time job. We can discuss the details about schedule. I can walk with dog in park or hiking if u don’t mind. i can take in your house too. I can drive haha ha
“Yesika did an amazing job with my 1-year-old cat, Timmy. She was communicative, thoughtful, and extremely knowledgeable. She followed all of my instructions for visits and sent detailed updates. He had a skin irritation that popped up just before I went away, and she was so helpful in taking care of his skin on top of everything else. I felt so much less stressed being away from him knowing she was there! I will absolutely hire her again.”
About: Reliable and caring dog walker who is passionate about providing safe, fun, and enjoyable walks for every dog. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love while in my care. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my top priorities! I work full time as an operating room nurse. I am available on the weekends and have most mondays off. Also available for evening walks. I care for every pet as if they are my own. In a client's home I would follow protocols set by owner and accomodate to whatever dog's needs are.

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!
There are not enough amazing things to say about Dennis! My partner and I have never felt for comfortable traveling outside of the country with our two kitties at home. He was an amazing cat sitter and communicator throughout the long time we were away and both cats warmed up to him immediately. I HIGHLY recommend Dennis if you need a loving and attentive pet sitter!!
Isabel does a phenomenal job. My 2 cats just love her, I can tell. She plays with them and is a hard act to follow because even I don't play with them as much as she does. Isabel sends great photos and thorough reports on her visits. I have hired her in the past and will do so in the future. Thank you Isabel!
When I first booked Katie it was for a much longer trip (over two weeks) and I was wracked with anxiety leaving my bunnies for so long. Katie made me feel better, she was so attentive and commutative about everything! She even cared for one of my rabbits sore hocks daily. It’s obvious she loves your pets and the feeling is mutual. I look forward to working with Katie again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Malden is $29 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $47 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.
As of October 2026, there are 10,384 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Malden. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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.
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.
