About: I love all furry friends - I have a lovely cat, and I enjoy taking care of my friends’ puppies short or long terms. Taking them to long walks is my favorite part! I work on a flexible schedule, so I’m available on most weekday mornings or afternoons. I’d be ou-of-town on some weekends so pls let me know what’s your schedule like if pup needs walks on weekends! I have leashes (non-retractable) for small and medium dogs. I’m confident keeping pups of these sizes safe from traffic / other animals all the time. It’ll definitely be a plus if your pup know some commands!
“Kylie stopped in to bring my dog Patsy out when I had to work longer shifts at work. She was a great communicator and I felt very comfortable having her care for Patsy. I could tell Patsy loved her too based off how happy she looked in the photos Kylie sent! I would definitely recommend any of her services!”
“Took really good care of my fur babies and was conscientious and tidy in my apartment. Loved the updates and photos! I will definitely re-book and it made me very comfortable in a stressful work event that I knew my cats were taken care of, especially my newly diabetic cat!”
“Angelica is a wonderful pet sitter, she is very friendly and responsive. She took good care of my cat and did everything that I requested and more. My cat loved her, and I had a worry-free trip knowing that my cat is in good hands. I will definitely book her again in the future and recommend her to my friends and family! Thank you Angelica!”
“Lindsay was incredible with Sunny. She was very thorough during the meet and greet. She gives detailed updates with great pictures. Overall she goes above and beyond. I would definitely recommend.”
“I have booked with Claudia multiple times and she has been a pleasure to work with. She’s great at communication and makes me feel like my cats are in good hands while I’m away.”
“Leanne is sincerely one of the most caring, thoughtful caregivers for our sweet cat Oz. She is consistent, trustworthy and kind and we will be booking with her again and again. We are so lucky to have met her!”
“Asmahan has been great! She was very understanding that our anxious dog takes a few visits to warm up to new people. She was patient and had great instincts with our pup. We are looking forward to continuing to hire her in the future!”
“Very kind and eager to be a good pet friend to my two cats while I was away. Also conscientious, making sure all was well with a cat who is more shy these days. House was as I left it!”
About: While I don’t have my own pet, I have been around and taken care of dogs quite often. I regularly take care of all my loved ones’ cats and have had cat sitting jobs as well. I’m a responsible and reliable doctoral graduate who will do a good job, and be sure to keep solid communication with clients! I currently work and study full time from home. I am quite flexible with my schedule and can often help out on weeknights and weekends too! I have an unfenced large yard as well as a large house. I can go on runs, (I’m an avid runner who ran cross country and track in high school!) and I absolutely love playing with dogs. My neighborhood is very friendly for dog walks, with fellow dog walkers around! I don’t have a dog or other pets, so no interactions would disrupt dog-sitting. I have three roommates who can give the dogs extra love :)
About: Hi there, my name is Jose and I am so excited to meet you and your dog. I have cared for and looked after my own dogs as well as the dogs of friends and neighbors for most of my life. Your dog will be begging to stay with me because I strive to understand the needs of each dog on an individual basis and give 100% effort to make sure those needs are met. I love dogs and I love learning as much as I can about them. I constantly study and learn new things about dog behavior and implement them when possible using positive reinforcement methods. I have handled dogs of all sizes, breeds and energy levels. I love dogs because of their boundless enthusiasm and love for even the simplest of things. Your dog will love me because I give tons of attention, playtime and belly rubs! You can rest assured that I will treat your dog like if it was my own! I don't just love dogs, but enjoy spending time with all animals. I've cared for cats, domestic birds like Parrots and Canaries, turtles, rabbits, fish and even horses! Animals fascinate me and I definitely describe myself as an animal lover. So if you have other creatures that need care from someone experienced, I can help you with them too! I'd love to meet you and your dog to discuss your individual needs. Let's set up a meet and greet so we can learn more about each other!
“Juyeon was great with our cats, and our shy cat opened up to her almost right away. We appreciate her communication regarding updates for the cats and coordinating timing of the visits. Overall, highly recommended!”

About: I’ve had pets and been around animals my whole life, and truly adore all breeds. I know how important keeping to a schedule is for your pets and have always been a reliable person once I commit to a task. I have experience caring for my own pets as well as other family members pets. I am work part time at a cafe in Somerville and do freelance work on the side and have a pretty flexible schedule to accommodate pet care! At your home, I will be respectful of your space and the way you cater to your pet and their needs, I’ll leave it as I found it! I want to build a relationship to get to know you and your pet so everyone feels comfortable.

Kyra took wonderful care of our cat while we were away. Purrginia was relaxed and happy when we got home. Kyra was communicative throughout, kept up with feeding, water, and litter, gave Purrginia plenty of attention, and even grabbed our mail. Highly recommend her for cat sitting!
Timothy did a great job caring for our three cats while we were away for several days. He even pinch hit an extra day when our plane was delayed and rerouted us. What a life saver! With the stress of travel complications, it was one less thing we had to worry about. We would certainly use him again and recommend him wholeheartedly. Thanks!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Needham Heights on Rover is $22.2 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.
