“Daniel was an excellent drop-in visitor and playmate for our cat Georgie. We really appreciated his friendliness, prompt communication, and genuine affection for our cat. Bonus points for his availability short notice during holiday season as well! We’d definitely recommend Daniel.”
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 sooooo good with Mimi!! Mimi got so comfortable with her on her 2nd day and laid on her chest for so long 😭 She came in for a tour of the house beforehand, did everything we asked, was so diligent with all my extra notes, will 10000% use her again!!”
“My cat is high maintenance and a bit of a pain. Cam was incredibly patient and clever in terms of getting my cat his medicine. After a few days the cat finally trusted him to deliver the meds orally. Cam was great throughout the process. 5/5 Would recommend!”
“Jackie takes great care of our two young cats and sends daily photos. We are always happy to have her visit them when we are away, and confident in her work with them!”
“Sara is an outstanding find! I almost didn’t want to leave this review because I didn’t want other people to take her away from my sweet babies! She is incredibly kind and goes above and beyond. She leaves detailed information about each visit and share so many excellent photos so that we know our dogs are being very well cared for. We are so lucky to have her take care of our two dogs.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Miriam is awesome with our two cats! She sends lots of great pics and makes me feel totally comfortable knowing that the cats are well-cared for. The cats seem totally happy when we get back, and I know they have a ton of fun and feel safe with Miriam.”
“Lucy was very kind and was easy to communicate with. We haven’t left our cats alone for very long at a time but Lucy made it easy with her thorough check-ins and updates. The cats seem very content and normal when returning home.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been something I’m comfortable with and genuinely enjoy. I have plenty of personal experience caring for them and I occasionally help care for my friend’s dog as well. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, giving them attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m currently in school and work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and the time to take on another responsibility. I’m looking forward to using some of my free time to care for dogs and gain more experience while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I want both you and your dog to feel comfortable while they’re in my care. I’ll follow the routines and instructions you leave for me, pay attention to their behavior and needs, and make sure they’re getting the care and attention they’re used to. I’m also happy to send updates and pictures so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.
“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 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!
“I'm so grateful I found Lori! We had some bad experiences with a pet sitter in the past (not on Rover) and were really nervous about leaving our cat Max alone for a few days. Lori took the time to listen to us, stayed in constant communication, and sent tons of pictures and videos. She is very caring and took excellent care of Max while we were out of town, which really helped us relax and not worry. If you are looking for a sitter to drop in and visit your furbaby, I highly recommend Lori - she's professional, reliable and really cares about the animals she's taking care of! We will definitely be working with Lori again!!!”
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.
“Repeat customer! Jennifer did drop ins our senior dogs for the week. They were well taken care of and we love the pictures she sends of our babies. We will continue to book with Jennifer if she is available when we are in need!”
“Gabi was great with our cat and I would not hesitate to hire her to care for Mabel again. She was communicative, flexible, and gave me thorough updates everyday. I felt totally at ease while Mabel was under her care!”

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Marlborough. On Rover:

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.
