“Stephanie always takes such amazing care of my 2 cats. She goes above and beyond for them and I appreciate the many images and detailed messages everyday. In those messages I can really tell she pays attention to the cats because she describes their personalities so well. Even the shy one has come around to trust her. I have never had this much peace of mind traveling! Thank you!!”

“Sandra was very communicative about how much the cats ate and whether one of our cats (notorious for stealing the other's food) was behaving. She was very prompt and kept up with the medicine schedule which we really appreciate! She also shared some photos with us during each visit.”

About: I've grown up with cats all my life. I've fostered kittens & adult cats which have given me skills such as administering medications, conducting vet mandated walks & massages, and handling nervous or distressed animals. I'm in school, but never have more than 2 hours of class on any given day. I take care of my animal on a schedule, and would follow the same for your animal! If your cat is social, I have a lovebug orange tabby who would be more than happy to be a playmate, but if your cat has issues with being around other animals, I also have 2 private spaces where they can be completely away from any sights, sounds, or smells that relate to other animals!

About: I'm a veteran providing daycare and boarding, depending on the dog and owner, is generally filled with canine adventures including hikes in a forest and hills, and in the summer, play in dog friendly areas with might even include a pool party and ice cream social! Given the right environment and only with your permission, this can include off-leash time. Pickup and drop-off is almost always available. The quoted price is for a 15 mile range. Extra if farther. ----- Since I was 4, I've been caring for all kinds of animals, especially dogs. At one time as a kid, we had 4 Great Danes! I've had mixed breeds and purebreds, athletes and couch potatoes, puppies, seniors, and special needs. I've also trained them although I've never been certified. Something common that friends say after their dog has spent a week or more with me is "how come my dog is now better behaved?" Your neighborhood or mine, the local park, the dog park, or on dog friendly trails. One dog or many. Having had all kinds of pets, including a 23 year old cat who required daily fluids and Miralax because of kidney failure and old cat dry colon, a dog that suffered seizures, and others. I even had a big 7 pound black and white adult rabbit that I found dumped in the state forest; she was litter box trained, had the run of the house, used the big dog crate as her private home, and would take turns playing with and chasing the 93 pound dog. I've just always seemed to understand dogs in particular and vice versa. The same is usually true with other animals too. I even enjoy caring for dogs that are hyper! Just let me know first in case I've got low energy dogs with me. What you can expect: Boarding and daycare are usually canine adventure time with me. Assuming your pooch is up for it, they'll accompany us on an adventure where they usually be able to play with other dogs, swim, and go on hikes. When the weather doesn't cooperate, that usually means pack walks somewhere like Lowes or somewhere else inside. If your dog tends to be stressed around other dogs and not well socialized, they'll have fun, learn that they are safe and can enjoy themselves while learning to be social and resilient. This is also great for improving their fitness and overall health. I work remotely, set my schedule, and nothing makes me happier that being with and doing things with dogs. Dog park? Trails? It's field trip and adventure time, if your beast is up for it. Play dates? Why not! Up for playing with my dog who is vaccinated for probably everything and wants to chase and be chased? Not a problem. Special needs or a senior? Just let me know. I have a fenced yard and a happy, boisterous 6 year old, 57 pound dog who adjusts his play style to what other dogs like. If he's too much for your dog, he takes correction from them, no problem, or I can put them in different places. He even lets little dogs beat him up without protest and if your dog likes rough play, he'll accomodate. He's happy and loves people and dogs. He has zero resource guarding issues; if your's does, he'll give them space.

About: Here to help animals get those hard to reach itchy spots. I love all animals and enjoy the different types of attitudes and demeanors each one brings. I have had many pets and worked in shelters before so Ive seen animals in all their forms. I work at the office Monday thru Friday 8-4. I however have a lot of flexibility with those hours and location depending on the type of care being sought. I follow the rules and guidance of the owner as closely as possible. They know their pet and how to most safely and compassionately care for them.

About: I have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs. I grew up with animals in my home and it was my responsibility to care for them in the mornings before school, change their litter boxes or take them for walks, and feed them. I am gentle and patient with rescue animals that need time to warm up to me. I work full-time, four 10 hour shifts per week, but am off Thursdays and every weekend. I can provide care before and after work, and any time on my days off. I create a calm, loving environment tailored to each cat’s needs. In your home, I maintain their routine, provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and offer plenty of playtime and affection. I’m also experienced in administering medications and ensuring a stress-free experience while you're away!

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life: from dogs, cats, and bunnies to pigs, lizards, chipmunks, squirrels, and even rescues straight off the street. Pure breeds or mixed, shy or outgoing, I love them all! Over the years, I’ve become the go-to pet sitter in every neighborhood I’ve lived in - Los Angeles, Oahu, and now, Waltham - giving families peace of mind and pets reliable love and constant attention (Mutually therapeutic transaction). My passion for animals extends beyond daily care: I’m pursuing studies in climate justice, additionally volunteering with animal rights organizations, and start up shelters/rescues, wherever a helping hand is needed. Whether it’s walking, playtime, or simply keeping a pet safe and comfortable, I treat every animal as if they were my own, because I know I'd settle for nothing but the best for my precious babes. Currently proud owner of 1 Golden-Doodle, 1 Miniature Dachshund, and 2 long-hair kitties. I’m currently a student of only 20 hours a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets nearby. I’m available most weekdays after 2 PM and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. This allows me to give your pets my full attention, playtime, and consistent care without feeling rushed. I am a pets biggest advocate in all avenues of my life. I provide a safe and nurturing approach to all kinds of pets, and am willing to meet them wherever they are most comfortable. I can crate if needed and always follow owner instructions carefully. Whether for an hour or five days, I ensure safety, comfort, and trust so every pet feels secure, loved, and the #1 priority.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - North Waltham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in North Waltham is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 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.

As of October 2026, there are 5,136 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across North Waltham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% can help with daily exercise

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.
