About: With 30 years in pet care and 50 years of animal ownership, I bring a deep love for animals to every client. I’m a stay-at-home mom and I volunteer and intern with a wildlife rehabilitator. From dogs to birds, bunnies, hamsters, and more, I’ve cared for them all—in-home and in clients’ homes—delivering compassionate, personalized pet care. Being a stay-at-home mom gives me the time and dedication to care for your pet or pets either in my home or in your home. Your pet(s) are welcome to stay in my home, a loving, safe, and pet-friendly environment, or I can care for them in your own home—whichever you prefer. They will receive the utmost love and care, which they deserve while you are away.
About: I've cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was a kid, and been a dog mom myself for 12 years. I've done it all - from feeding, walks and playtime, to bathing and cleaning up accidental messes. I currently petsit for friends and family and love every second of it! I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own fur babies. I work from home and make my own schedule so I have lots of time and flexibility to stop in and take care of your furry friend! I'm comfortable walking multiple dogs on leashes and I'm extra patient with dogs who need a little extra support or guidance while on lead. I'm highly aware of my surroundings and keep playtime in safe, enclosed spaces your dog is comfortable in. And as I've cared for my dogs, as well as others' dogs, for about 20 years, I'm really good at reading dog body language and telling when they're tired, needing some rest or water, or still need a few more minutes of sniffing the neighbor's bushes :)
“Isabelle did a great job of taking care of Ruby! She was thoughtful and kept me updated every moment making my trip so much better not having to worry about Ruby.”
About: Hi pet parents! My name is Jaz, and I’m a huge animal lover with 10+ years of experience caring for pets. I grew up with both cats and dogs, and family and friends have always relied on me to watch, walk, and care for their pets over the years. I currently have a cat of my own, but I’m definitely a big dog lover too. If it were up to me, I’d probably have five cats and five dogs but my husband says otherwise, so pet sitting is the perfect compromise. 😂 I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s needs and routines however I can, and I’ll always keep you updated with plenty of pictures and check-ins so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. If your dog is more comfortable in a cat free environment, I’m also happy to have my cat stay with nearby family during their visit. I’d love the chance to meet you and your furry family member! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I homeschool, which allows me to be flexible with my time. I love going on walks and spending time outdoors together as a family, so your pet would fit right into the fun and daily adventures. Your pet would get lots of attention, companionship, playtime, and care throughout the day not just quick check-ins. Because of my flexible schedule I can give your pet attention and care throughout the day. I will make sure your pet has all of their needs met, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and lots of love. We’re also happy to go the extra mile when needed, whether that means extra walks, keeping up with your pet’s usual routine, administering basic medications, or giving them extra comfort and attention if they’re feeling anxious while away from home. We do live in an apartment, but we make sure pets get plenty of outdoor time and exercise. There are lots of great walking areas nearby, as well as a dog park close to us where your dog can safely run around and burn off energy, and won't feel stuck inside all day.
“Cassie was wonderful for our beloved Howard! She took such good care of him while we were away, gave him all the love and attention he needed, good walks and was very attentive to his senior dog needs. Thank you so much Cassie!”
About: I’ve loved animals since I have a memory. Have volunteered in shelters and fought for animal rights in my home country. Love cats and dogs in all shapes. I have a very flexible schedule. I spend all day at home so I can accommodate to your needs. I am available weekdays and weekends . I have one sweet cat who has lived with dogs and other cats before. The apartment is closed inside a building, there are no safety concerns.
“Erica treated my cats like they were her own, and regularly stayed longer than the scheduled 30 minutes. She made sure they had food and water and played with them when they wanted it.”
About: I have 20 years of experience with looking after pets of all ages to the best of my ability. I treat your pet as if they’re my own and ensure they’re able to be as happy as could be, while their parents are away. I ensure to send updates, pictures, and videos for your peace of mind. I have experience with administering medication to pets, both pills and liquid. Written instructions are appreciated, but not required. 🙂 I’m focusing on my Rover clientele so I am available full-time. Please contact me for a meet and greet and see where everything goes from there! I am not able to offer boarding at home, but am able to take care of your babies in the comfort of your home where they’re most comfortable. If you prefer to provide instructions for your pets, I will follow them. You will receive a lot of pictures and videos of your fur babies as well.
About: I grew up with cats, dogs and rabbits my entire life. I currently dog and cat sit for family, friends and neighbors! I have years of experience and plenty of references. I work in Danvers, MA from 8:30am to 7pm Sundays through Wednesdays. I am available for drop ins before and after work and also overnights if your animal is able to stay alone for longer periods of time. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, giving medicine and crate training. I am also open to whatever needs the owner requests to best suit the animal.
“Keelyn was amazing with taking care of my cat djinn :) very communicative and followed instructions very well. We did a meet and greet before the actual drop-ins and that made me feel very reassured I made the right choice. I will definitely be re-booking!”
“Megan was amazing to our two kitties while we were away on extended travel! She wrote great updates and took some awesome photos! She was super attentive to what was going on with them even when we were out of contact (no cell service/WiFi). We would be more than happy to work with Megan again and would recommend her to anyone! It was also a pleasure to hear about her own dog and his story - it’s always great to know you’re leaving your pets in the hands of a fellow animal lover!”
“Gloria was absolutely wonderful with the cats and they are very happy! I wholeheartedly recommend her as a sitter! She is kind and genuinely cares about animals and that shines through and was the reason I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care!”
“Our request was very last minute and Michaela was nothing but flexible and attentive to our cats needs. The meet and greet was really reassuring and her communication was great, we felt at ease knowing there was someone there for their feeding and litter care. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Aimee truly went above and beyond for us and our kitties! She sent plenty of pictures and updates, communicated clearly, and followed their care instructions perfectly. We had the pleasure of having Aimee over to care for our cats for both short and long term periods, and she was great at maintaining our home for the cats while we were away. We would highly recommend her to anyone!!”
“Charlie was absolutely lovely. Very professional while still being friendly and not too formal. Communication was clear and prompt from the planning of the meeting to the actual visits caring for my dog. Definitely will be reaching out again when I next need a dog sitter”

We absolutely adore Claudia and she has been our go-to pet sitter for the past two years now, especially when we go away for more than a week! All of our kitties love her, even our shy guy. She is super responsive, sends amazing updates and also takes great care of our home. Highly recommend!
Ida was a great sitter!! She checked in on every visit, kept me updated throughout my time away, was on time, punctual and took great care of my cat, Gia. She was also able to administer medications and kept me in the loop with my cats health issues. I would recommend her to anyone needing a cat sitter and will definitely book with her again!
Leslie was wonderful caring for our two senior cats while we were away. Each cat has a distinct personality - one is shy and timid while the other is gregarious and outgoing. The daily briefings and multiple photos Leslie provided for each visit ( 2 daily) assured us they were being visited / fed as scheduled,scooped and played with. She also doesn't mind inhome security cameras which is important to us for checking on our seniors. It was a great feeling to travel without worry, we most definitely will be calling Leslie for future needs.

As of July 2026, there are 4,538 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Swampscott. 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.

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.
