“Avi was able to take on watching our cat with barely 24 hours advance, picking up our apartment key within a few hours of booking. She did a wonderful job, was incredibly easy to keep in touch with and gave us some much needed peace of mind knowing our cat was safe at home while I was gone for a few days. She made the time to play with our cat, made sure she was fed and took some adorable pictures. I’m glad to know I have a reliable sitter the next time I need to be out of town!”
“Thanks so much Catherine, you are the best. We could tell when we got home that the kitties had been well cared for. They were happy and glad to see us. We appreciate everything you’ve done including watering the plants.”
“Yet again ,Thomas went above and beyond for me and my Mily Lily . The peace of mind I have while I'm gone is worth more than I can ever explain. Thank you Thomas !!!!!!”
“Our two cats really liked Mickala. She went above and beyond helping us with several situations such as trimming a cat's nails and cleaning up some ants which got into the auto-feeders.”
“Natalie was great! Communicated with us throughout, sent lots of pictures, and wrote thoughtful, entertaining updates for each visit. We hope Natalie will be available next time our cats need a sitter!”
“Grace was very punctual, thorough and communicative every day while we were on vacation. We give her all five stars and look forward to booking her again when we next have to leave home.”
“Molly is reliable and responsive. She was always on time to give my cat his insulin shot twice a day. Knowing I could count on her was such a relief. My cats loved her and I will definitely use her services again in the future!”
“Lukas was superb. They went above and beyond to not only care for my cat but also alleviate any anxiety I had with the level of competence they showed. They brought in my packages that were delivered and cleaned up cat mess, followed my instructions to a "T", I returned to my cat after 5 days and they were not starving or starved for attention, I receives such an in depth update every visit along with pictures. Any questions they had, they asked instead of assuming and deciding for themselves. A+ will absolutely be calling Lukas whenever Cooper needs a sitter!”
“Dorjee helped me out by providing a last-minute extended drop-in visit to care for my cat, which reassured me quite a bit. She made sure my cat was well fed and given her medication. Appreciated!”
“Bree responded quickly to my last minute request for cat sitting on a holiday weekend. She was wonderful to work with, sent great photos of her playing with my cats, and my cats and I really appreciated her!”
About: I have had 2 dogs for over 10 years now just recently one past away losing that connection has made me want to be able to be there for other dog's like I am to my own. I have pet sit for family friends when they attend vacations or work events. I currently work part-time, so I am available in the early mornings and afternoons. I work nights on Mondays and Wednesday but are usually out by 9pm. I have a dog and 2 cats, So I am not sure how my dog would react to another dog living in her home. I do have a crate and a yard to walk on leash but no fence to free roam.
“Ashley is amazing. She followed instructions and took great care of my animals. She even went above and beyond when there was an issue with the front door and I was out of town. I will be using Ashley again!”
“Everything you’d want from a car sitter— connection, attention to detail, responsive, creative approaches to play and making contact, caring, great communicator!! Highly recommend!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - North Amherst
We are so grateful that Catherine was able to care for our cats while we were away. We had a pre-trip visit and she was attentive to both cats' personalities and preferences, as well as our questions about leaving them at home with drop-in visits for the first time. Catherine's experience caring for cats was clear. During our time away, we received updates, photos, and videos from each of her visits that left us feeling assured that our cats were happy, active, and engaged. This whole experience left us feeling very comfortable and we will definitely seek out Catherine's services again.
Jessica did a wonderful job taking care of my cat while I was away. She was reliable, attentive, and made sure my cat always had fresh water, a clean litter box, and plenty of care. It gave me real peace of mind knowing everything was taken care of. I’d absolutely recommend her and would be happy to have her help again in the future.
Really great sitter and person. We had to go away last minute with an uncertain return date and one of the pets was sick, but Athena took care of everyone incredibly, was attentive to details, patient with our questions, and communicated updates throughout. We'll definitely book her again.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in North Amherst on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of August 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.
