“Jennifer took care of my 2 kitties. She provided updates with photos of the girls. Sometimes they can be shy and hide, but they both came out for her during each visit.”
“Chelsea was so great to work with! She dropped in on my kitten twice a day and followed all my overly-detailed instructions I gave her 🤣🤣 Will definitely book again!!”
“Sara goes above and beyond!!! She does an incredible job at taking care of my diabetic kitty making sure she gets her meds on time and lots of love. She also sends a ton of amazing photos as well! Can’t recommend her enough 💕”
“Mark and Devon were so fantastic! You can tell they really love their work and treat pet-sitting with real care and professionalism. They were communicative, reliable and so thoughtful. They sent plenty of pictures and funny, detailed notes so we really felt we were keeping up with how our two cats were doing. Just an outstanding experience and we hope to hire them for future trips.”
“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%!”
“Jackie was excellent caring for my elderly cat with required medications. She provided great photos and kept me updated each time she visited. Thank you!”
“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!! 😻”
“Juliet did a great job watching our cat for two weeks. She stopped by four times while we were away. She left great photos/videos and reports on Tilly every visit. Tilly can be shy but she seemed comfortable and happy with Juliet. We will hire her again!”
“Lori was the best. This is my second time asking Lori to take care of my cat. She is always on schedule and also will send you tons of photos of your pets. I wasn’t worried one bit while I was out of country.”
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.
“Cam stopped by twice a day to check on my cats while I was away for a week. Cam followed my instructions perfectly and was very responsive. My cats are shy and take some time to warm up to people. They began to come out towards the end of the trip despite the limited time. Cam was amazing!”
“Danya was very responsive and great at communicating. She left us great summaries after every visit and sent pictures of our 3 cats. Also really appreciated her willingness to come for a free meet and greet before our trip. Will definitely be booking with Danya again!”
“Julia did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats. She was incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure the cats (and our home!) were comfortable and clean. She took initiative to adjust the A/C and fans to keep the space comfortable, cleaned up not just the food dishes and litter boxes, but also a surprise hairball, and even swept the floor. Her updates were thorough and reassuring, with sweet touches like hiding toys and checking in on how much each cat ate—she clearly paid close attention to their individual personalities and needs. Julia was communicative, responsible, and kind—and her love for cats really shows. I'm so grateful this was our first experience with her and would absolutely recommend her to others!”
About: I grew up with dogs, cats and horses. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets. I work full time during the week. I am available for those who enjoy going out on Friday nights or on the weekends! I’m available after 2pm on Friday's and all day Saturday & Sunday. I am very active and enjoy going for long walks and runs. I have a fenced in yard and one friendly small dog that loves to play and run around. I have an indoor porch where my animals and yours can stay separate if need be. I am able to comfortably crate your dog if needed.
“Jennifer was a great sitter for my two cats! She is clearly an animal lover and they both took to her immediately. It was so nice getting updates from her each day - she really went above and beyond. I plan to book with her again!”
About: Hi! I just really love dogs. I sadly can’t have my own right now, so being able to care for yours is the next best thing. I am a homebody, love nature walks and being outside, and I live on a quiet street with a large backyard with lots of room for a dog to play and run. I have experience with all sizes, ages, and temperaments of dogs. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so plenty of time for walks, parks, play, and cuddles. I love having a pet to care for because it gets me out of the house and active :) Your pet will be treated like a king/queen and spoiled with so much attention and love. Depending on your requests and your pet’s activity levels, etc. we’ll do multiple walks a day, and other adventures (if you are comfortable) like parks and hikes.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Marlborough 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.

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.
