“Brianna took amazing care of my two cats while I was away! She was very responsive and went above and beyond, even my shy anxious cat came out for her! I would totally book with her again anytime :)”
“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!”
“Stephanie is caring and attentive as ever and is now best friends with our demanding kitty. He was pampered with brushing and play time. She is a great sitter and our kitty is lucky to have to Stephanie take care of him.”
“Royce was amazing with my cat. Updates were consistent and detailed and he got regular play, tender care, and everything he needed while I was away. I highly recommend her and would gratefully entrust my precious pet to her care again!”
“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!”
“Sue was a wonderful sitter to Tangerine and Belle. Tangerine needed special care - she was in her final days and had complex medical needs. Not only did Sue give Tanner the treatments she needed while we were away, she have tons of love and care to both cats. I would have her back any time.”
About: I am Fear Free Certified which is a training for preventing and alleviating fear, anxiety, and stress during pet caretaking. I’ve been around dogs since I was little and grew up training and taking care of my pet labradoodle. I’ve volunteered at a cat shelter for 2.5 years and am a facility manager for the shelter so I have experience with animals of all types of personalities. I also have two cats that I adopted from the shelter I volunteer at. I am a biomedical engineer so I work from 9-5 Monday- Friday. I’m happy to stop by to give your pets some love before and/or after work Monday, Tuesday, or Friday. I typically do pottery on Wednesdays but can be flexible if needed on that day! Thursday nights I volunteer at the cat shelter until around 7:30PM so late night visits might be possible. I am available most weekends as long as I have enough of a heads up! I know some nice walking trails around Waltham and would be happy to take your dog on walks around there or throughout your neighborhood. I also am comfortable with just giving pets attention and care such as food, brushing, play, and scooping cat litter within your home depending on your needs and wants.
“Olivia is amazing! She took great care of my kitties while I was away and even stopped by on short notice when I asked for an additional check-in at the last minute. Will definitely book with her again in the future!!”
“Anna was absolutely wonderful in taking care of our two kitties. She also was kind enough to bring in any packages on our porch. I really appreciated the photos and updates along the way. We'll definitely turn to Anna for our future trips :) Thank you so much!!!”
“They were great! My cats both went right up to them and were very happy when I got home. They also sent photos and videos that let me know my babies were taken care of.”
“Did a great job making sure our three cats were taken care of and fed while we were away! Would definitely recommend her if you need help with your fur babies and we would definitely rebook her services in the future if she is available!”
“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!”
“Kathleen was wonderful with our cats! She took great care of them. They enjoyed her company and had a good time during their visits. Kathleen was also patient and understanding while I worked with Rover Support to sort out a booking error. Especially thankful it all worked out and she was able to take care of our girls again! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a petsitter.”
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
“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!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - North Waltham
Carol is a pro! We needed a pet sitter to fill in when our cat’s regular sitter went on vacation. The stress of the situation was heightened because our cat is elderly, in poor health and deeply loved by my husband and me. But we didn’t need to worry. Carol provided excellent care and companionship to our little guy. We highly recommend her.
Stephanie is the absolute best. She gives the best care to our two boys, paying special attention to our shy one, and gives detailed updates with great pictures and videos. It's such a relief to know that, when we are gone, our guys will not just get food and water, they'll get all the love and pets they need. Thank you!
Sue was really excellent with my 2 kitty’s! I took a week vacation out of the country and Sue did such a great job watching my cats and it really set my mind at ease. They both have different needs and Sue took the time to make sure they each had what they needed! She even won over my shy cat which is not an easy task! Highly recommend!
Bryana is the best! I loved getting the Rover Cards and photos while I was away and seeing how happy Kira was with her new pal! It was also a relief knowing that Bryana was giving Kira her medicine (followed by a treat!) each day! Highly recommend Bryana and look forward to booking her again for my next trip!
Lauren filled in for me pretty last minute for a week of pet sitting my cat, and I am forever grateful she did! She did an excellent job keeping me informed and enticing my cat downstairs with treats. Thank you so much, Lauren, and I hope we can work together again!!
Taylor did a fantastic job doing drop in visits for our three cats over a holiday weekend. She handled food, litter, and medicine as we requested and gave us super thorough updates and cute photos! Made our travel so much easier to know our cats were in good hands :)
I’ve booked with Avery multiple times and she has always been great to work with! I had some last minute changes to my work travel, and she was able to extend the booking. She always sits with my kitties for a bit and gives them some company while I’m away, which I love! Highly recommend
Our sitter responded right away and we had the meet and greet a couple weeks later. It all went very well - she had to call me because of a question with the house lock and I appreciated the call. Sandra was great, loves cats and even my shy cat came out and greeted her.

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 .

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.
