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
“Ari was on-time and did a great job with Lou. The pictures indicated she was very happy with the visit, and we were happy to return to a clean litter box and healthy cat.”
“Kristina was wonderful! I needed a sitter fast, and in quick order, she met me at an initial consultation and provided terrific care for my Luma. I definitely recommend!!”
“Angela is reliable and trustworthy. Our cat rarely makes a connection with sitters but Angela won her over right away. Thanks so much. Have a great year back at B school!”
“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!”
“Alana was awesome! She was communicative and my cat really liked her. She made holiday travel less stressful because I knew Owen was being taken good care of. Would highly recommend!”
“Carol is really reliable and responsible! This is the first time I left my cat at home for days, and I was kind of anxious at first, but with Carol's help I felt much more relief. I'll definitely book again if I need in the future.”
“Yick-hong was great with my cats! They were reliable and attentive and would absolutely recommend. I received daily updates and plenty of photos to keep my mind at ease while I was away. I will likely be working with Yick-hong again in the future!”
“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!”
“Olivia left thoughtful and detailed messages during her visits with my cat, which helped put me at ease when I was away from her for the first time. I had no idea my cat would hiss, and Olivia managed to handle it well. She even got toys out for JoJo when I forgot to put them out.”
“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.”
“Very communicative! They were able to take a week of request to drop in to look after my cat and I'm super appreciative. I came home to a happy and healthy cat who I can tell enjoyed the visits from the videos I was sent of him being pet. Would book again!”
“Royce cared for our older Cavalier for the first time while we were away for a week, and she exceeded our exceptions! Toby sometimes needs a little extra help, and she was patient and skilled in handling him during her drop-in visits and also excellent at communicating with us. We would have her care for Toby again without hesitation!”
“Kristina is so great to work with! We have an excited puppy and a nervous 4 yr old. Kristina handles the dogs with kindness and the appropriate amount of command! We look forward to more visits!”
About: I’ve cared for animals since I was 12, with my family pets, as well as many others! I have experience with special needs, old age, medication, etc. Message me for more details! I’m currently working part time as a nanny, so I have plenty of time for check ins and overnights with your furbabies! Even if it’s simply walks you’re seeking, please feel free to reach out! I offer nearly 24/7 supervision, as well as around the clock socialization. I have Mondays off, and only work a half day Tuesdays! Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday I am home before 5!
“Leanna was a wonderful cat companion for our one year old kitty! She was super responsive and easy to work with, learning all the intricacies of our cat- sent great photos and had no trouble with the instructions we gave (we gave way too many lol). She gave our little fur friend all the brushes and love he needed to be a happy dude, we look forward to having her come by again!”
About: I've had animals in my life all my life! I've cared for fish, bunnies, hamsters, gerbils, cats and dogs. I have a very open schedule, especially in the summer and will take careful care of your pets! Please note that during the summer I may need to bring a 10 year old with me for visits. I am local and currently have a very open schedule. During the school year I work until 3pm but am usually free in the evenings for walks and check ins. I make sure to follow your instructions to the letter-you know your pet best of course! They will get all the attention and love they deserve. And I will send photos!

Shannon did a great job watching our cat for a week. She was very responsive, conscientious, and considerate in her communications and in her care for our cat. We really appreciate having someone as reliable as Shannon and will definitely be asking her to cat sit for us again!
Brianna did an amazing job watching my cat while I was away for the weekend. She provided pictures and comments during every visit and was quick to respond if I had any questions. Brianna did a great job making me feel comfortable leaving my pet in her care. Will definitely rebook!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in North Waltham on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,167 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Waltham. On Rover:

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.
