“Mackenzie was great! We had a meet and greet ahead of the visit and went over our dogs personalities and routines. Today was a visit to see how the dogs responded to Mackenzie when we weren't around, and fortunately that went well. Mackenzie kept us in the loop from the time she headed to our home until the visit was complete, and sent a bunch of really cute pictures of our pups. Scooby is a bit of a nervous dog so we weren't certain how he'd do, but he reportedly responded well. We would definitely have Mackenzie care for our pups again!”
About: I have two dog of my own, a cat and any farm animals. I’ve handle animals age ranging from 15+ to freshly born. I’ve also taken care of canines with different medical conditions (cancer, diabetes, etc). My eldest pup currently has stage 2 kidney diseases I’m a stay at home mom. I do put my 3/4 of my kiddos on the bus and have to been home to get them off. The youngest is with me. I have 5 areas, my eldest pup is leash only. We go on long walks in the woods all the time. My youngest pup is very well trained, we take him just about everywhere when we have the chance.
“Theresa was great with my two fur babies while I was away on vacation. I felt at ease especially seeing pictures of them while I was away. I was impressed with the level of communication i recieved from her which i find very important. My dogs seemed happy when I got home not stressed that I was gone. I highly recommend Theresa service!”
“I am so incredibly grateful to have found Betsy! She is consistent, reliable, and cares for my girls as if they were her own. Communication has always been easy and professional. I could not recommend her enough!”
“Our second review: Renee has been taking care of our little fur babies for more than 2 years now. They love her and she is the only one we trust our home to when we go on vacation.”
“Mariah was wonderful with our fur family. She spent time with everyone and sent pictures of happy pups/cats to me daily. I could tell the dogs were happy since they kept bringing her gifts of everything they found on the floor. Even the cats who don't trust most people came out of hiding for her. I will definitely ask Mariah to sit again.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Matisa was professional, reliable, and genuinely cared about my dog. Matisa provided regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was happy, well cared for, and received plenty of attention and affection. I came home to a relaxed, healthy pup, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Matisa again. Highly recommend Matisa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet!”
“Aly was great to work with, very fast responses and made us feel totally comfortable leaving our dog knowing she would be stopping in to care for him. She updated me quickly to let me know how the visit went and how our pup was doing. We were first time users of Rover but based on our great experience with Aly, we will absolutely be using it again!”
“If you are looking for dependable, trustworthy and accommodating, Arianna is the right choice! She takes great care of our Golden, and she goes above and beyond. Glad we found her and we would recommend her to those that care the most for their pets.”
“Where do I even begin?! Mandi was an exceptional sitter and provided such a source of comfort while we were away, despite several “hiccups.” Our greyhound Ziggy got into a large bag of pill pockets which made him really sick. At one point, he became so irritable and blocked Mandi from getting back inside the house! But she remained so patient with him and tried lots of solutions until finally he calmed down. She never once made us feel bad and was so willing to help. Ziggy had several accidents in the house due to his upset stomach and anxiety from fireworks, and Mandi cleaned everything up with no complaint. She even made a special trip to the vet to pick up meds for him, and prepared him a bland diet of cooked chicken and rice! Last but not least - we have the worst luck - our refrigerator died and Mandi cleaned out as much of the spoiled food as she could. This could have been the worse vacation considering everything but Mandi was a true professional and helped us relax without having to worry too much about Ziggy’s care. We will definitely be reaching out in the future (if we haven’t scared her off lol!).”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was a baby. I have 4 dogs at the moment and wouldn’t change it for the world, they are my babies. I am currently working part time with my mom doing hair. I have my cosmetology license and just want something to do that i love. I can do dog walking, sitting, or anything that you need me to do. I am pretty flexible. Just provide the instructions and we’ll go from there! I will provide updates and picture of your fur baby too!
About: I have been around animals for my whole life, taking care and experiencing with 4 litters of puppies and watching them grow. I have pet sit for the past 5 years and still do! I am open to pet sit any animal of any size and can do it at your house or mine! I am great with medication scheduling and certain or special feeding schedules. As of right now, I am available Monday through Sunday at any times! I will be having a part time job soon but will still be available for part time work! I always create a little plan before I sit any client's animal. I like to know how the animal is personality wise and if I need to be aware of any medications or certain needs. I also make my own plan with clients consent as in walks around the neighborhood and make sure I interact with the animal with play time and loving.

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Krysalyn. She was so sweet and flexible with my schedule. I recently took a business trip and Krysalyn kept me updated while taking care of my dog, so I felt at ease. When I got home, I could tell my dog Tatum had a great time with her. She was even nice enough to check in on my roommates cat who is older and recently started having some medical issues. I would HIGHY recommend Krysalyn in the future and look forward to using her in the future. Thank you Krysalyn!!!!!”
“We adored Barbara!! I was a nervous wreck about leaving Eugene with a sitter (prior he had always gone to boarding) and she was such a comfort! We got an update and photo for every drop in. She even did some light training with him. Eugene LOVED her and was so happy when she visited. She provided great communication and answered any questions”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Somerville on Rover is $23.87 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,750 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Somerville. On Rover:

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.
