About: I have had cats and have taken care of them since I was eight years old, and have spent time with dogs, but don't have any of my own. But I am looking forward to meeting yours. I work part time, usually at night and usually on weekends, I am pretty flexible on weekdays and can take care of your pet in the mornings or afternoons. I feed and clean up after my cat at home. If I am walking a dog then I am comfortable running or going at any pace.
“Chelsea was so awesome! We were so happy she was able to fit us in on a busy holiday weekend. She was very communicative and kept us updated about how everything went during her visit. It was clear the cats loved her after seeing the photos she sent; even our very timid cat who hides from other people. We could tell she takes the job seriously and is experienced with pets. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Mouse had a fantastic time with Rachel — he was treated like the tiny prince that he is. He spent time with her hanging out in the sun on the deck, exploring the backyard, and making himself comfortable on her lap. When it was time for her to leave he didn’t want to budge from her lap, and he doesn’t warm up to people easily like that! She sent plenty of pics and updated me on his activities. I’ll happily book Rachel again anytime!”
“Nicole is amazing! She took such good care of my furbaby while we were away. I highly recommend Nicole if you need someone to care for your pet. I will definitely use her every time I have to be away from my baby!! 😻”
“Again, Sara went on and beyond, and took super good care of our dog! Our dog had an amazing time with her! We even received her kind note and her selected photo printouts of our dog. Such a kind person! We completely trust her with our dog and will not hesitate to book her for the next time!”
“Jacqui did a great job caring for my two cats and even went above and beyond to wash their food bowls and send photos. She was extremely professional and responsive and it put my mind at ease so I could enjoy my trip!”
“Lucy was lovely with our cat Rome as always! i used to get such bad anxiety leaving on trips but i trust Lucy so much i never have to worry. it’s so obvious to see in the pictures & videos how much Rome loves and trusts Lucy!”
“Lori does a great job with our pets. We just got back from 4 days away and all our pets were happy and well cared for. Our house was all in order too. She is very professional.”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life! I also really enjoy working with and caring for exotic animals such as snakes, spiders, lizards and more! Whatever sort of animal you have, I’m sure I’ll love meeting them! I wake up and take care of my snake, lizards, and various arachnids. I also love to play with my pitbull mix and my snuggly/manic cat! Pet care is a huge part of my life and it makes each and every day interesting and amazing. I always keep a watchful eye on any and all animals that I care for. Staying away from busy roads and keeping escape routes covered are always a priority for me. Building trust with owners and critters are equally as important, especially when they are family members who matter so much to us all.
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors, friends, and families dogs and cats since I can remember! I have walked, fed, and stayed with a lot of their pets and even given medicine when needed! I love animals and even have a dog of my own! I have my own car so I can easily get to where i’m going! I am currently nannying 8:30-4:30 so I can take care of the animal right before or right after! I am free most weekends as well and am always willing to do overnights if needed! I plan on taking your pets for about 2 walks a day (more is not a problem) and feeding them when told, I promise to give them lots of love and pets! Also maybe some treats if allowed!
“Miriam did a great job with our two cats!. She had good communication, sent plenty of pictures, and really took the effort to get the shy cat to come out and engage. No hesitation recommending her to anyone in the area needing a cat sitter!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have had the opportunity to care for a few dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it was feeding them, taking them on walks, playing with them, or just keeping them company while their owners were away, I’ve always enjoyed spending time with them. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m responsible, dependable, and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ll care for your family member as if they were my own, and I’ll make sure to keep you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and do my best to work around my clients’ needs. During the school year I work during the day, but I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits. In the summer, I have even more flexibility. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra company while you’re away, I’m happy to help and will always communicate if my availability changes. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any house rules. I know every pet has a different personality, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and build trust at their own pace. I’ll treat both your home and your pet with care and respect, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing they’re in good hands.
“She took great care of our 2 large breed dogs while we were away on vacation. Would not hesitate to have her watch our boys again! The Rover card updates were great to read while we were away ?”
About: I've had pets since I was a little girl and even worked at a dog grooming salon for three years, which I loved. Over the past 3 summers, I’ve been on Rover and love my experience with animals and clients. I am still recovering from surgery, and we can discuss that when booking with me. I want to create a place where owners feel like they can reach out me and trust me when needed Hello, I’m currently a college student home for the summer. Back in April, I had hip replacement surgery. Over the past few weeks, I've been able to get back on my feet and move around a little more. I was looking to help any furry friends around the area that need to be fed or let outside. Unfortunately, I can't handle large, high-energy dogs. Please reach out, and we can discuss. If anyone needs help with small dogs or cats, I'm your girl. During drop-ins, I typically follow the owners' requests, which include feeding the animals, playing with them, spending time together, letting them outside, and refilling their water, etc.
“Gabrielle is the absolute best! Our hearts always feel good knowing she is in our home and caring for our pets. She has great communication, and is very active with our sweet pups. Couldn’t recommend her enough!!!!!!!”
About: I been a pet owner my whole life. Animals are attracted to my spirituality, love, and reliability. They are in good hands. No stress 😌 My schedule has flexibility and open to make accommodations if some of the days do not fit your schedule. I am able to make arrangements. I have 2 cat furr babies who are well taken care of. One is deaf and it has made me even more patient with animals.
“Caitlyn took such good care of my elderly cat for a week while I was away. Her daily detailed updates made me feel so much better being away from my little guy. I will definitely call Caitlyn again in the future, and highly recommend her!”
“Sarah has been a great sitter for Marlin and Dory!! She is super flexible and consistently stays in touch with me. I always feel comfortable leaving the kitties because I know she’s going to take good care of them! This visit in particular, she worked around a prior obligation to help me out on short notice. Would HIGHLY recommend Sarah for any care your pet needs!”

Miriam is kind and truly loves furry animals. We had an issue where our automatic wet food feeder jammed and was not going to feed our furry daughter, and she was kind enough to go back and help trouble shoot the issue with us late at night. We recommend her 100%!
Sarah is truly amazing super attentive listens to directions goes above and beyond. She is an amazing pet sitter and I will recommend her to all my friends and family. I will for sure be rebooking with her anytime I need some assistance when I’m out of town.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Marlborough on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 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.

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.
