About: With over 25 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, turtles, rabbits, and hamsters, I provide loving, reliable pet care. I foster for MAS and rescue strays, and I’ve been house sitting for pets for 15 years. I will ensure your home is respected, I will bring your mail and packages in as well as taking out the garbage can when needed. I have no problem cleaning out turtle tanks, small animal enclosures, and more! I promise your pet will be treated as my own and showered in affection. I am Student Nurse and I am trained in various forms of emergency care. Your babies will be in good hands! I am a Nursing Student in the medical district. I am available to do drop ins, walks, play dates, and more. I believe in keeping pets at home when their family is away. I find that animals are less stressed this way as opposed to being in a new environment alone. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide fresh food and water, walks or playtime, litter box cleaning, and lots of love and attention. If your pet needs medication, I’m experienced with oral, topical, and injectable treatments and always follow your exact instructions. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

About: I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I absolutely adore animals of all kinds, especially cats.

“Titeara was AMAZING. She was like family to my babies. They were so comfortable with her, especially my shy one. She sent many updates and photos and even cleaned up behind them, without asking. She was great and made me being away care free. She was very respectful and treated my house as her own and my babies as her own as well. She is a blessing for sure.”
“Whitney was great and helped me out in a pinch when I was out of town longer than I expected to be. Great service and wonderful with my Labs! Thanks so much Whitney! ♥️”

About: I am a pet person! I’ve had dogs since I was a child and have cared for my own dogs and cats throughout my adult life. Animals have always been part of my family, and I truly love caring for fur babies of all ages and personalities. I treat every pet like my own, with patience, affection, attention, cuddles, and lots of love. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for, and I take that responsibility seriously.

Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets lots of attention, supervision, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood and love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved. My home is very pet-friendly, I have a large, fenced in backyard, and I genuinely enjoy having animals as part of my daily life. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets are treated like family. I have a secure fenced-in backyard with plenty of green space for dogs to safely play, explore, and get exercise. Pets will receive lots of attention, supervision, affection, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m happy to follow each pet owner’s routines, feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special preferences to help pets feel comfortable and secure. If needed, I can also crate pets according to the owner’s instructions and comfort level.

About: Back in 2014, I attended Tennessee College of Applied Technology, graduated early with my diploma in Assistance Animal Laboratory Technicians, also with a certification in Purina Mills Animal Care Course. I have done an internship with North Shelby Animal Shelter as well as Bartlett Animal Shelte, where I took stray dogs/ abandoned out for walks and to play. Most of the dogs I encountered with at the shelter were sweet and loving dogs that just need a friend and time to spend with a person. I treated those dogs as my own. I have also intern at University of Tennessee Health and Science Center taking care of rodents, pigs, and other animals. I am someone who is mature, candid and who has integrity. Everyday I work to improve myself and my skills which is part of maturing and becoming better at what I do, this is why I want clients to choose me. I will treat your pets as my own pets. I will love and care for them, as if they where my own.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs most of my life and I love helping other families when they need the extra hands / help with them.

I have plenty of references! I will abide by any rules you have for your animals. I have a fenced in backyard as well for any who need to stay
“Lei was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was excellent. I know our pets felt at home with her. She and Chris (her husband, who is retired military) did so much more than taking care of our pets. They also watered my flowers, took our garbage to the street, notified us of a problem with our house. Lei even left the prettiest card accompanied by a tiny bunny and vase of flowers. Thank you, Lei and Chris, for your kindness and attention to detail while we were away)”
About: I have dog sat for many family friends before, including big and small dogs, cats, and even a few birds and guinea pigs! I have walked, fed, brushed, bathed, played with, and even house sat with many different dogs. Currently I work Monday-Wednesday, from 8-5, but that is not set in stone. On days other than those previously listed, I can make anytime of day work. My home is not available to dog sit your pet. I have a not-so-friendly terrier that does not get along well with other dogs. I have dog/house sat in many homes before, so I am perfectly capable of keeping one’s home a tight ship, including cleaning, collecting mail, watering plants, etc.!
“Akilah was amazing! I had to leave town last minute and was so fortunate that Akilah was able to do drop in visits with my cat. She went above and beyond, problem solving when I forgot some supplies. She checked on my cat multiple times and she sent me photos and videos to keep me in the loop of how my fur baby was doing. He really liked her and when I got home he was very calm. I was very pleased with her services and will definitely become a repeat customer. Highly recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 213 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Somerville. 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.
