“Caroline was great! Our fire alarms were going off (just dust) when she came by during one visit and she took care of them and spent extra time with our cat at no extra cost. She was reliable, we will definitely use her again!”
“Highly recommend Sanela! Sanela was wonderful with our cat. She was attentive, made time for play, and kept us well informed. We're grateful for her help, and I would recommend her to other pet owners.”
“Abigail took fantastic care of my cat while I was away. She kept me updated and sent pictures. She made my first time leaving my cat at home for multiple days a stress free experience. I will definitely use her services again. So lucky to have found her.”

About: From neighborhood animal care to volunteering at local animal rescues, my passion lies in animal welfare and caregiving! I'm looking to reconnect with a local animal advocacy scene and provide my services to anyone who may need help with their four-legged loved ones. I'm a remote employee, so I'm able to work from anywhere that has WiFi! Based in Melrose, MA, I look forward to reconnecting with my roots as a Boston native and help assist with your fluffy friends! ☺️ I have reliable (and pet friendly) transportation for anything your pet may need: a walk in the park, a trip to the lake or emergency vet care. I highly encourage pet owners to provide me with the names of their vets and emergency contacts for the duration of the animal's care.
“Caitlin looked after our two cats for several days while we were out of state on vacation. We were a bit anxious to leave them for so long as they were born during the pandemic and we both generally work from home, so they are used to all-day company. From the first photo Caitlin sent us, we knew we no longer had to worry - both cats immediately warmed up to Caitlin and she took such fantastic care of them. The summaries she sent for each visit confirmed how much care and attention she provided to them both. We will definitely try to book Caitlin again in the future if she is available - and you should too!”

“Rosemary was amazing! Firstly she was very in tune with our cat to both get to know him a bit and adjust play or hanging out accordingly. Additionally she went above in beyond in helping with mail or visitors while we were away. Rosemary also has great communication and flexibility and was able to both keep us in the loop, with not just watching our cat, but also arranging visits and keeping us informed of how our cat and house was doing. We're happy our cat found a new friend and definitely recommend Rosemary!”
“Kat was great with Bella! Bella enjoyed the time that Kat spent with her. I enjoyed getting the pictures of Bella every time Kat came over while I was gone and seeing how happy Bella was! Thank you Kat for taking care of Bella and my mums!!!”

About: I am a high school teacher on summer break with lots of extra time to walk, play with, and take care of your pets! I grew up with three adorably needy golden retrievers who thought they were laps dogs and a delightfully sassy cat, so I am used to taking care of cats and dogs, big and small! I've also lived with cats in adulthood and taken care of them while my roommate was away. I adore animals and have excess amounts of love to give them since I don't yet have another dog of my own! My services: I am here for walks, park visits, and home stays (chock full of lots of pets and general attention) in the Boston-Metro area!

“Cheuck watched our two cats while my husband and I were traveling for 3 weeks, and he made us feel so comfortable that our cats were in good hands! He was very responsive and sent consistent updates. He also bought food and litter for them when they ran out. Cheuck went above and beyond and the cats loved him!”
“Alison treated our cat very well while we were away. She was able to give him his medicine with no issues and sent us lots of photos of them playing. Our cat can be a bit feisty, so it was great to see her manage him so well.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Stoneham
I couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care Yuzhou gave my 3 cats while I was away for a week. She was so sweet with them, and took care of all of their needs. She left me a detailed message after each visit with about 10 pictures each time. I felt confident they were well cared for and could enjoy my time away. I highly recommend Yuzhou and I will pursue her service again!!
Katina has been a delight and everything I needed. I had knee surgery and needed help feeding my cat, Max, plus he needs insulin injections twice a day. All of that went well because he absolutely loved her. Anyone could feel comfortable knowing their pet is in very capable hands. I feel like we have a new family friend. Karen O'Sullivan
Galina is caring, dependable, and incredibly attentive. I always feel completely at ease knowing my cat is in her care. She goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of, and it’s clear how much she genuinely loves animals. I highly recommend her!
Jillian took such amazing care of my two cats while i was out of country. She was so attentive and caring. She picked up on the smallest things and my cats loved her. I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone needed a caring, and compassionate person to watch over your pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Stoneham is $36 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $54 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

- 81% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
