“Ari is fantastic and took such good care of our kitties while we were away! Especially our senior kitty that needed a lot of daily pills. I really appreciated Ari’s thorough communication and picture updates. It was a great relief knowing our babies were well cared for!”
“Angela took great care of our dog during a weekend away. She is an excellent communicator and sent lots of pictures too keep us posted of drop ins and walks. Would definitely ask her to help us out next time we need to go out of town.”
“Peaches, my little old Yorkie, took to Jess immediately and they enjoyed a nice walk in the neighborhood. I appreciated her promptness in arriving on time, and her photo that she took of Peaches. Highly recommend!”
“After having a ton of sitters, Olivia is by far the best! She gives such minute detail in her report, and not only fulfillls duties of feline daily living like giving food, water, and cleaning his litter, to the full extent that is requested, she also notices behavioral changes in our pets. I cant reccomend her any more than I do now! She is awesome. I had quite a complex situation to get into my building, and I had the further pressure of having to leave almost immediately, but Olivia was able to help through all that.”
About: I’ve had cats since I was 8 years old. With the 16 years of experience with cats, I believe every fur baby needs a home away from home. Like with every pet parent, I strive for the best with my cat. If you choose me to watch your fur baby, I will provide the best and safest environment for them. Do they need a room to themselves? You got it. Has explosive diarrhea? I have cleaning supplies. Medical issues? Another way to keep me on my toes. I hope you consider me as a prospective aunt to your kitter cat or doggo and can’t wait to fill up my camera role with adorable pictures. I look forward to hearing from you 💕 I am a grad student at Brandeis University. My classes are usually over by 2 pm, so after then I’m usually at my apartment caring for my cat and completing schoolwork. So needless to say, I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule for your pets individual needs. If I am doing home visits, I would like to visit the clients home a day or two prior to the arranged visit(s) to understand the animals needs and to see if we would be a good fit. I believe it is important to establish an understanding with the animal in question before I frequent the premises so there isn’t any unnecessary stress for your pet. In regards to boarding, I have a medium sized apartment that would be good for any cat or small-medium dog. There are multiple grassy areas for bathroom breaks and walks around the premises. You will have to provide me with your animals usual schedule (times for bathroom breaks, when and how much time are committed to walks, feeding times, etc.) so I can build my set around them and their needs
“Carol was great with our cat who needed some extra attention given his current medication regiment. She made us feel at ease and left us with one happy cat to return to!”
“My cat warmed up to her right away even though she can be shy with strangers! I got multiple pictures from every visit of her happy as a clam. She’s also a special needs cat so it was really comforting to see her so well taken care of!”
“Traci was terrific. Loves and understands dogs. She is kind and intuitive and I have the feeling if there were an emergency, she'd know just what to do. Trust her 100%.”
“I would gladly recommend Brianna to other pet owners! She was on time for the scheduled drop-ins, communication was smooth and she provided plenty of photos each time she arrived.”
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs my whole life and treat every pet like my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and always make sure your pets feel safe and loved. This is the perfect side hustle for me because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals! I’m currently working from home, and have a lot of time to drop in and take care of your fur babies! This is a fun side hustle for me to do:) I am extremely attentive and caring towards any animal. If your pet has any special request or needs, I will be sure to hold them to the highest regard.
“Michelle was so wonderful to our fur babies while we were out of town for a long weekend. She listened to and followed all directions well and catered to the needs of all three of our babies who have very different personalities! It was such a relief to know that they were all being checkin in on with such care during our trip. Michelle sent many photos, videos, and detailed updates after each visit which was very much appreciated. We will 100% book Michelle again!”
“Thank you so much! Sunshine was so much less frazzled than he has been when I returned home; he was clearly pleased with the upgraded accommodations. Thank you!!”
“longfei and Luning are so helpful taking care my cat. Everything is done professionally and friendly. Most importantly, she seems to be happy. Will definitely recommend!”
“Stephanie is fantastic!! My senior cat loves her. She is great about keeping you informed, is very attentive to my cats needs, and is very thorough in giving him his medications. She sends great updates and fantastic pictures/videos!!”
About: I am a 28 year old dog lover who has had dogs my whole life! I have had multiple bichons as a kid and have spent a ton of time with a variety of family friends breeds! I have trained our dogs growing up with my family and spent a lot of time walking and keeping them busy throwing the ball around as my mom was a writer. I joined Rover to help save up for my September 2027 wedding and are hoping to help out some families with their pets while getting some exercise! Thanks so much for considering! I am an accountant who works 8-5. My break (when I would walk or drop in) is from 12-1. I would also do so before & after work. I have lots of experience with pets and am happy to safely care for your pet however you specify! We crate our pets at night, our yard is fenced in, ETC,
“Rose was wonderful with our two guinea pigs! She was reliable, caring, and always addressed any concerns I had right away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would definitely recommend her!”
“We can’t say it enough- Kristina has been helping us for almost a year at this point and she’s amazing with our large 80+ pound dog Sully, consistent, great communication. She’s a gem and we are lucky to have her help us on a weekly basis.”

I’ve used Stephanie multiple times for cat sitting, and she’s absolutely the best! She always sends detailed updates and plenty of photos, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away from my kitties. It’s clear she genuinely cares for them, and I know they’re in great hands. I’ll definitely continue to book Stephanie and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!
Lauren was amazing, she did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats, she came every day followed directions and sent us detailed reports on how they were doing with lots of pictures. Our cats were thriving and it was a great comfort to know they were in such good hands. We were having some work done in our bathroom while we were away and Lauren was really adaptable with the times she came over. She went above and beyond doing extras like bringing in our mail and feeding our fish. I will be hiring Lauren again next time we go away for sure!
Sandra was great and took good care of our kitties while we were away for 3 weeks. We were sent daily pictures of them and came back to 2 healthy and settled cats. She was very good about visiting the same time each day and took into account the time difference so that I could go to bed knowing that my babies had been taken care of. Thanks Sandra!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in North Waltham on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,109 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 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.
