“Alyssa provided excellent service and communication during our booking. She was flexible when needed and accommodating as well. We will definitely look to rebook the next time we go out of town.”
“Lindsay took such great care of my cat Naomi! She was extremely professional and responsive, and she was so helpful even with some very last minute changes/housesitting needs that I was stressing over. Also had no trouble administering Naomi’s medication and was so attentive to her daily routine. I really appreciated all the detailed updates and cat pics!! I would happily have her catsit for us again :)”
“Abigail was great, very responsive and accommodating with my last minute request! Will definitely use her again in the future to check in on my cat while I’m away :)”
“Tingting took great care of my cat Nami for 5 nights, two visits per day. Even though Nami is shy, Tingting took the right approach to gain her trust and keep her happy and engaged. The daily photos and videos were a great touch. I came home to a happy, healthy cat and couldn't be more satisfied. Will definitely book with her again.”
“The best cat sitter ever! My Maine Coons love JB as she gives them so much attention. She also stays in close contact with me with photos and chats so I can relax and enjoy my vacations knowing they are in good hands.”
“Gabriella responded quickly to my request, arrived promptly, communicated clearly, and sent lots of pictures of my dog! It was obvious that she took great care of my dog, and I would gladly book her again!”
“Sydney took excellent care of the three cats that live with me and my home. She sent pictures of happy kitties. Her communication is excellent, from the first request until the last day of her stay. I returned to a clean and tidy home and well-cared for cats.”
“Ann Marie was really great. She came and met us before hand at no charge and she helped us set a great schedule. Moreover, getting her daily updates with photos of our kitty made us feel so much better on our vacation, since we didn't have to worry at all about our pet.”
“Very attentive and communicative, she understands directions well and clearly enjoys cats. She has some conflicts with her schedule as she is a student but overall, I would hire her again.”
About: I have cared for animals since I was a child - mostly I have owned cats, but I've owned lizards and taken care of many dogs over the years. I am happy to be active and play around, or just lounge if that's what your animals are more about. I'm just happy to help keep your pet safe and happy and take care of any to-dos around the house that you need done! I work 9 am-5 pm on weekdays but tend to be free in the evenings or on weekends, so if that fits with what you need in terms of pet care, then I am happy to help! I do not currently have any pets in my apartment, but the unit is cat-friendly. I easily adapt to anyone else's living situation so as long as you lay the ground rules, I will respect them!
“Maanya took great care of our cat! She made sure he was comfortable around her and he warmed up to her quickly. She also promptly responded to all my messages and requests. I highly recommend her!”
“Alison treated our cat very well while we were away. She was able to give him his medicine with no issues and sent us lots of photos of them playing. Our cat can be a bit feisty, so it was great to see her manage him so well.”
“Hannah is an amazing cat sitter. Cosmo (the cat) loves her and I can always count on Hannah to be on time and send detailed updates. I unexpectedly had to extend my trip and Hannah was so flexible and stayed on longer to make sure Cosmo was cared for!!”
About: Caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've grown up with dogs of all sizes, from energetic Huskies and Labs to smaller breeds like Havanese, so I'm comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I'm experienced caring for multiple pets at once and am confident managing busy households. While babysitting, I've often cared for children and dogs together, which has taught me how to stay organized, attentive, and calm in any situation. I’ve helped care for my mom's Husky with two torn ACLs, giving me experience with pets who need extra patience, gentle handling, and special attention. I'm comfortable administering medications, treating ear infections, and following detailed care instructions to keep your pet healthy and comfortable. I've also lived with cats throughout college, where my roommate had two cats, and I'm now the go-to pet sitter for both of my brothers' two-cat households. I'm just as comfortable caring for cats as I am with dogs. I'm an active person who does long walks everyday and I'd love to have a furry friend join me for walks and adventures. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or prefers a quiet companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule. I work remotely on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, which gives me flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. On Mondays and Thursdays, when I'm in the office, I'm available for early morning and evening walks or visits. My weekends are wide open, so I have plenty of time for longer walks, overnight stays, and lots of quality time with your pets! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special care instructions. During walks, I stay alert, keep dogs securely leashed, and avoid unsafe situations or extreme weather. At home, I make sure pets have a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can feel relaxed. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to build trust and provide care that's tailored to their individual needs.
About: I have dog and cat sat for the past 7 years for multiple different families in the Yarmouth Maine area. I have been in different situations that have tested my abilities as a pet sitter. Dogs and cats immediately warm up to me. I currently work a full time job for a Doctor in the Yarmouth area. I can walk dogs after work most of the time. We sometimes don’t work at the office on Fridays so I would be able to walk dogs during the day. I can do overnight care, however I would only be able to feed / walk in the morning and evening before and after work. I am more flexible on weekends. Whenever I am caring for dogs I will keep them on a leash when I walk them. I make sure to follow the clients rules for their pet (feeding, care, and walking routine).
“Such good care for our cats! Even when one cat developed an allergy and unexpectedly needed some meds while we were away, Michelle took excellent care of her. Will be happy to use again.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Needham
Lucy was very receptive to what my cat needed. She came for 1 visit while I was out of state. She provided a meal, checked water, checked my cats litter, and sent a few photos. I also got a few screen shots from my apartments camera and saw that Lucy even brushed Zelish and played with her which was really nice. I felt happy knowing my cat was well taken care of.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Needham is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $36 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.

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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 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.
