“Briana is such a kind sitter…. As a Rover sitter myself, I can tell she cares about our cats by their relaxed demeanor!!! When we come home, everything is like we never left:)❤️Thank you Briana for the wonderful Peace of Mind😇🙏”
“It was such a charm to have Jessica take care of our cat during the busy holiday time in December. She is very prompt with timely responses, was able to understood our situation so well that she even proactively assisted us with a basement water leak problem when we were away. Saved us from a lot of damage during our absence. Would love to have Jessica sit for our cat any day.”
“My cat absolutely LOVED Chelsea. She's my go to for any trips out of town and has been so responsive and professional throughout the whole process. She's been able to make my last minute requests work, and I knew my cat Bug would be cared for :)”
“Kevin took great care of my cats and made me feel a lot better about leaving them alone for the first time. I was unusually anxious, but he came over to meet me and them and learn their routine, and made me feel comfortable right away. He was very patient with Biscuit, who's shy, and I could tell Mango felt comfortable around him. Will definitely book with him again the next time I need a cat sitter.”
“Nicole took fantastic care of my little kitten! Hamilton is a young rescue, and had only been in his new home for a few weeks, so I was nervous leaving him for the weekend, but Nicole kept him safe, happy, and loved. She sent tons of pictures and great updates every day, and always knowing how he was doing was extremely comforting. I came home to a very happy little guy! Her love of animals is very clear and Hammy took to her right away. I appreciated her compassion, promptness, and professionalism and I would highly recommend using Nicole as your next pet sitter! She will certainly be my first choice when I need someone to care for Hammy in the future.”
“Katherine was amazing! She was so great to work with, and very understanding about the comfort level of each kitty and what they needed. I would recommend her to anyone looking to leave their fur babies in kind and caring hands:)”
“Xuni is absolutely wonderful! We always have complete peace of mind knowing our two cats are in such caring and capable hands. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and we honestly think our cats may enjoy spending time with Xuni almost as much as they enjoy having us home! We come back to two happy, well-cared-for cats every time. We couldn’t recommend Xuni more highly.”
“Jennifer took care of my 2 kitties. She provided updates with photos of the girls. Sometimes they can be shy and hide, but they both came out for her during each visit.”
“So glad I had Ashley come check on my cats while I was away. They have some medical issues so I had to give very precise and complicated directions when it came to feeding them and giving meds. She was super understanding and was amazing with the cats. Gave them love, played with them, and was able to make sure they got the food and meds they needed while I was away. She sent lots of cute pictures and kept me updated after every visit. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience than what I got with her! I will most certainly be a repeat customer and recommend her to others who need pet sitting. I was nervous leaving them with the health issues they have been having, this was a great experience and I was able to relax knowing they were in good hands with Ashley.”
“Kelly was wonderful! She sent me pictures and kept me informed throughout all her visits. She also rolled with an unexpected curve ball. Kelly was knowledgeable and a joy to deal with. I look forward to working with her again!”
“Kathy was great watching Samson while I was away! She was super communicative and went an extra mile when my cats autofeeder was not working! She gave peace of mind that he would be taken care of no matter what while I was gone!”
“Paulina is a reliable, experienced, and thorough petsitter. She made pertinent observations about our three cats, and adjusted feeding routines to get a picky eater to take her medication. Her fotos demonstrated her interactions and playtime with the cats. We highly recommend her and will rebook her in the future.”
“Sara took care of Gracie, my very active 6-month old kitten, for the first time I've left Gracie home alone overnight and the first time I used a pet sitter/rover. Sara did a awesome job answering my questions and making sure I understood how rover worked. During the meet and greet she asked lots of questions to get to know about Gracie and her habits. Over the weekend while I was away, Sara sent great summaries of each visit noting how comfortable/happy Gracie was with lots of pictures and videos. She made sure Gracie got lots of play time - and she even went the extra mile when it came to cleaning up after, Gracie's messy eating habits! I would definitely recommend Sara as a sitter.”
“Jen was a punctual, knowledgeable, and reliable cat sitter from our first visit to the last check in. Her reports show her pertinent observations on changes in the cat’s play and feeding behavior with good solutions to these behaviors. She was also willing to bring in the mail and take out the trash while we were away. The cats were playful and engaged in the videos she posted. We recommend Jen as a pet sitter and will use her services in the future.”
“Julia was very responsible, caring and communicative when taking care of our two cats. I felt very comfortable leaving our pets in her care and felt reassured by her thorough updates. We hope to be repeat customers in the future!”
“We had Ken for a 2 day house sit for our dog, Flash. In all of our years using Rover, we’ve rarely had a sitter who loves Flash as much (maybe more!) than we do. Ken even made a special late evening visit outside of those that were scheduled just to make sure Flash had a little extra love before bed. We came back to a tidy home and happy pooch. Will definitely have Ken back again!”

Kim is a wonderful drop-in sitter for our 2 cats! We greatly appreciated her being able to take on this visit on very short notice. They were relaxed and had all that they needed during our absence thanks to Kim. Thank you Kim from both of us and from the cats!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Northborough on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,606 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northborough. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
