About: I’ve been loving and caring for cats and dogs for over 10 years. Friends, family, and neighbors always rely on me to drop in, feed, and play with their pets while they're away. I have plenty of experience with all ages, from tiny puppies and kittens to sweet seniors. I love keeping pets active with fun enrichment games and can even help teach them new tricks! I know every animal has their own unique personality and needs a different approach, so I’m always happy to learn what works best for your furry friend. I’ll care for them just like they’re my own and send you plenty of cute updates along the way! Since I work a steady 9-5 schedule during the week, your pet will enjoy a wonderful, predictable routine! We kick off our days with an energetic morning walk so they can completely relax, and I love setting them up with fun puzzle toys to keep their minds active. As soon as I'm off the clock, my full attention shifts right back to them for dinner, an evening walk, and plenty of couch cuddles.When the weekend hits, I am completely free! This is when we dive into longer adventures, extra-long walks, and much more enriching activities to really spoil your furry friend. It’s a loving, consistent rhythm that keeps pets feeling safe, happy, and right at home! When I’m staying at or visiting your home, I stick closely to your pet's normal routine to keep them happy and stress-free. During the week, they’ll enjoy a predictable schedule with fun morning and evening walks, plenty of attention, and brain-boosting puzzle toys during the day. On weekends, my schedule is wide open for longer adventures and extra playtime!If your dog loves making new friends, I can also bring my own friendly dog along for supervised playdates! Of course, this is completely up to your choice and comfort level. No matter what, I focus on keeping your pet safe, loved, and properly fed while ensuring your house is totally secure. I’ll send you plenty of cute photo updates along the way so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in great hands!
“Noila took amazing care of my two kitties for two full weeks! She sent daily pictures and videos of them playing, and included any other information about her check ins with them. She made leaving town so much less stressful! Fantastic experience.”
About: I have experience pet sitting, volunteering at shelters, and dog walking. I have even had a rabbit in the past, so nothing is off limits! I am a thorough cleaner as well. I aspire to deliver compassionate care tailored to your pet and your needs as a pet parent. I am available in the mornings and afternoons on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Wednesday evenings are open as well. I have open availability on weekends, too, especially for overnights. I will offer care in the client’s home and can promise my respect for your space and adherence to anything that makes you most comfortable with me taking care of your pet in your home!

“Josh did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats! He gave us picture updates and was in prompt touch when one of our kitties puked during one of his visits. Thank you for being a great pet-sitter!”
About: My name is Suzie and I am 30 years old. I have owned a dog all my life and currently have one dog named Moose. I have interacted with many different types of dogs and personalities. I am confident I can make you dog happy. I currently work at a Hospital 3 days a week, so I am home majority of the week. I have just moved to the North Andover area and would love to explore the area with your dog. I also live with my boyfriend who is usually around when I am at work. He owns a female Husky who is at my condo occasionally. I do not have rules about pets being on furniture or in the bed. I have dog beds and large crate for them, whatever the prefer. Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I am home 4 days a week from work. I am able to be home with your dog to feed it and take it out in a timely manner. I work 15 minutes up the road, so if necessary I can leave work to let the dogs out. I live in a dog friendly condo complex that I can take your dog on a walk and live near trails to walk also. I have an open door crate dogs can go into if they are feeling overwhelmed or need a safe place to sleep.
“Rosemary was an amazing caretaker for our two cats while we were out of town! She was always on time for check-ins, gave detailed reports of her visit & tons of photos. She went above and beyond caring for our cats (and finding them in their many hiding spots); we couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience.”
“Tom did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Sophie over the holiday weekend. I appreciated the updates and photos at every visit. It really felt like Sophie was in great hands.”
“Janelle was wonderful taking care of my two cats Olivia and Toby! She sent lots of pictures of the kitties during meal time, playing, and getting treats. I knew my babies were well taken care of left with Janelle!”
“Caroline was so great, Harvey absolutely loves her! From the second she introduced herself to him, he took to her. He is normally anxious and a little kiddish but Caroline did such an amazing job making him feel comfortable. Absolutely will be hoping to use her again!”
About: Having dogs my entire life has granted me the luxury of being comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. Currently, my mother and I are sharing custody of a rescue mutt. I'm also the go to dog sitter for my brother's pit bull terroir & lab. Just like us, our dogs need food, water, exercise and lots of love! I am happy to assist you with all of this and more. Including giving pet medications from pills to insulin. Open to discussing other needs not listed here! I currently work Monday through Thursday 8-5pm & Fridays 8-3pm in a dog friendly office. I do have an hour lunch break and am willing to use that time to stop by. My after work activities are extremely flexible! Weekends are also flexible and am happy to discuss overnight stays/boarding needs. If you're looking to board, please note that my condo association does not allow for 'large' dogs. There is also a 2 dog max. However, being comfortable with dogs of all sizes, I am sure we can work with my condo limits to meet your needs. If you have a fenced in yard I'm happy to throw a ball around or if your dog loves to destroy plush toys, happy to clean that up too! Hiking is also a personal love of mine and great for high energy pups.
About: For the past few years now I’ve been a dog sitter for my family and friends, walking, playing, feeding, and cleaning up after them I can house sit, dog walk, and do drop in visits, Any time of the day Mondays to Fridays, And weekends if needed anything works. I get to learn pets usually routine. How many times a day to walk them, when and how to feed them, and their bed time.
“Catherine was great! She asked all the right questions to get relevant information to take care of Bagheera & Shanti. She was able to connect with both cats relatively quickly! My kitties were well taken care of. Will definitely book her again!”
About: I adopted my first dog in second grade. He was my responsibility and as I got older, I learned that I loved going for walks outside as much as my dog. Now that I'm older, I love taking friends' dogs for hikes in new locations. I have even managed to train one of my friend's reactive dog so she pulls on the leash less. I also briefly fostered animals when I was in graduate school. I am a teacher on summer break, so I have plenty of hours to devote to your pet and look forward to enjoying plenty of summer outside time with your dog. I have walked a wide range of dogs, including a couple of reactive pit bull mixes. I have experienced triggering situations with dogs and know how to either handle them or avoid them.
“Frances & Julia were great. They were responsive to our last minute booking request and communicative throughout the visits we scheduled over a weekend while we were away. The photos and videos they shared with us of our puppy showed how great they cared for him, and our dog was in great spirits when we returned. I would definitely recommend to fellow pet parents and re-book if we need care again.”
“Sanela did an amazing job caring for our two boy cats! She provided many photos and videos during her visits with them and that was so nice to see while we were away. She was very communicative throughout the entire process and also let me set up a FaceTime call with her prior to the visits to show her around our home. Right off the bat I could tell that she loves caring for animals, and that our boys would be in great hands. We came home to a clean apartment and happy and healthy kitties, and we are excited to use Sanela again for future visits!”
“Laura is great and my puppy loves her! Shes great with a pup who’s still learning her manners. Knowing she was coming to hang out with Eloise put my mind at ease when I started going back to the office after adopting her. Definitely recommend!”

Once again, Stacey was excellent in cat sitting Turbo. She was regular in reporting her visits and providing excellent pictures to capture Turbo’s activities. She reported on his eating habits and his cat box results. She demonstrated that she enjoyed Turbo and loved taking care of him. In sum, she was great. Thanks Stacey.
Rosemary watched our cat, Izzie while we were away for 4 days. She was very attentive and communicative with us, spoiled Izzie with lots of treats, brushes and playtime, and even helped us out by bringing in a package. We came home to a happy cat and a clean house. Would absolutely recommend!
I couldn’t be happier with the care Leone received! Thank you for taking such great care of him, making sure he was fed, and spending time playing with him while we were away. I would highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, and I will absolutely use you again in the future!
Galina was incredibly helpful and accommodating with the booking process! She left our place exactly the way it was and followed all the care instructions for my cat perfectly. She also made sure he got plenty of much-needed playtime while I was away and sent a ton of cute photo updates! I will definitely book Galina again in the future.
Erin checked in on our cats while we were out of town for a couple of days and she was amazing!! Went the extra mile to make sure our kitties were taken care of and sent lots of pics and updates. So grateful to have found her, we recently moved and finding a reliable, trustworthy sitter can be difficult. We will definitely be using Erin in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Reading on Rover is $27.75 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 4,799 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Reading. 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.
