“Kim was so awesome taking care of Luna! She followed all instructions and provided love/care for my cat. I've never booked a pet sitter but I'm glad I did with Kim she's so nice and responsive!”
“Briana was a phenomenal cat sitter for our darling Nora. Our kitty is quite shy and doesn't take to most people, so we were so pleased that Briana was able to work with her anyway -- she caught pictures of Nora every day and had success trying to engage her in play. I also forgot to tell Briana where a few items were, but she was able to figure everything out and gave Nora quality care while we were away. We will definitely be working with Briana again!”
“Nicole was my 1st EVER experience using rover or any dog walking/sitting etc… app, and the experience could not have been better! She walked, pun intended, me through the entire process and made it feel like she’s been watching my senior dog for yrs. I cant state this enough, you need some1 reliable to entrust your small sweet soft snuggles with, NICOLE IS THE WAY 2 GO. She went above and beyond and always kept me updated with photos and texts about my little man. Captain J.T. snuggle pants the 3rd had a great time with her and it made me feel like he was in excellent hands. Anytime I need a dog sitter, in the future, ill be asking for Nicole bc just well done, and GREAT JOB, THANKS AGAIN NICOLE!”
“Many thanks Jessica for taking care of my rescue boy. I know he will be glad to see me home after 5 nights of taking care of my daughter's rescue dog from Hawaii”
“Xuni was wonderful with my dog. She was diligent and attentive, and on time to all of the visits. She successfully gave her her morning pills and provided a lot of care! She was great with communication. My dog is large and can’t be around other dogs, and Xuni was able to navigate that well on the walks, along with her anxiety. I would definitely have her care for my dog again in the future!”
“Paulina is a great cat sitter! She was easy to communicate with and was happy to meet us and our cat before we hired her. She is reliable and gave our cat plenty of attention while we were away. Would absolutely hire her again. Thank you, Paulina!”

“I’m a travel nurse so I work really long hours. Katie came and sat with my girl a little bit each day I was at work and went above and beyond to take care of my girl!! If I’m ever in her area again I will so be using her again to take care of Willow. She truly loved my dog and my dog loved her. At one point I flew home and my sitter called was I landed and unable to care for Willow. Katie stepped up and made a very stressful situation bearable!! She is amazing and I 10/10 recommend her to anyone!”
“Holly was great at watching over our two cats, we recently adopted a kitten who is shy but opened up to Holly so well! She was responsive, nice, and kept our kitties company while we were away!”
About: I've had pets since I was a little girl and even worked at a dog grooming salon for three years, which I loved. Over the past 3 summers, I’ve been on Rover and love my experience with animals and clients. I am still recovering from surgery, and we can discuss that when booking with me. I want to create a place where owners feel like they can reach out me and trust me when needed Hello, I’m currently a college student home for the summer. Back in April, I had hip replacement surgery. Over the past few weeks, I've been able to get back on my feet and move around a little more. I was looking to help any furry friends around the area that need to be fed or let outside. Unfortunately, I can't handle large, high-energy dogs. Please reach out, and we can discuss. If anyone needs help with small dogs or cats, I'm your girl. During drop-ins, I typically follow the owners' requests, which include feeding the animals, playing with them, spending time together, letting them outside, and refilling their water, etc.
“I am very grateful to Kevin for watching our four dogs while we were out of town. He was very attentive and patient with all our questions. You could tell that the dogs felt very comfortable with him because of his kind, gentle nature. Thank you Kevin!”
About: I grew up with dogs, cats and horses. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets. I work full time during the week. I am available for those who enjoy going out on Friday nights or on the weekends! I’m available after 2pm on Friday's and all day Saturday & Sunday. I am very active and enjoy going for long walks and runs. I have a fenced in yard and one friendly small dog that loves to play and run around. I have an indoor porch where my animals and yours can stay separate if need be. I am able to comfortably crate your dog if needed.
“When you’re away, you don’t want to have to worry about anything back home. That’s what Sara brings is a peace of mind. Thank you Sara for taking such good care of my babies!!”
“Georgina did a wonderful job taking care of our kitties! She sent us a report every day of how things went and also sent great photos. Our cats our shy but they went to greet Georgina at the door. She took the time to play with our cats and was patient when they were being shy. I highly recommend Georgina and would definitely hire her to take care of our cats in the future!”

Xuni continues to go above and beyond every time she cares for our two cats. She is reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. It gives us complete peace of mind knowing our furry kids are safe, happy, and so well cared for while we’re away. We always come home to two relaxed, happy cats, and we couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Thank you, Xuni, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family—we appreciate you so much! Highly recommend! 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Northborough 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 4,623 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Northborough. 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.

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.
