“Donna was very good with my cats as far as I can tell. She kept me updated on how my cats were doing, which can be hard since they are both shy and don’t usually come out for people.”

About: I have lots of animals myself. 3 dogs, 4 outdoor rabbits and 3 guinea pigs.On the weekends I drag my family to go see puppies. I prefer dogs over most people. They make my heart happy. I’ve always had animals. My dream job is to have an animal sanctuary. I would love to help you with your babies! I currently work as a hairstylist. However I’m a mother of two and it’s getting quite challenging to work as far as I do with my life being more in this direction. My dream job is to have an animal sanctuary of my own so I don’t have to turn away any animal and can save them all. On the weekends I drag my family to see puppies. I would love to be able to cut down my full time job and get become more involved with pet walking/sitting. It will be good for the soul. I have lots of animals at home and small children so I probably wouldn’t watch anyone in my house right off the bat. But in their house I would love to cuddle, give treats, walk play and give all the love they need as if they were my own.

About: Owned and taken care of dogs and cats since I was young. Can’t remember a time without having pets! Currently own two crazy pups and two pretty kitties, and can’t wait to meet yours. Have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and everything in between. I am a full time firefighter/EMT, so I only work two 24hr shifts a week, and the rest of the time I get to play with yours, and my own animals! Love to hike or be outdoors with as many pets as possible! If they’re happy, I’m happy! I will follow all rules set for your pet, and be sure to keep their safety at the top of the list! As a pet owner, I can’t imagine something happening to my own animals, and I would never want to let anything happen to yours!

About: I have 28 years of experience taking care of pets and many more taking care of my own family pets. My first job at 13 was at a kennel. I can administer all types of medications, I've had sick and elderly pets that needed shots, fluids and pills. I also was a wildlife rehabilitator and have experience with bottle feeding and wound care. I am skilled with senior pets, exotics and livestock. I live in Lunenburg MA with my husband surrounded by a variety of different pets from dogs and cats to reptiles to parrots to livestock. I am comfortable around any size pet and with aggressive moody pets. I'm currently working full time Monday -Friday but am available weekends all day and mornings/ afternoons during the week for drop ins. I cannot do overnight stays or boarding. I will do whatever to mimic how you care for your own pets in your home. Any schedule or routine you do I will follow. I will allow dogs outside at your own home off leash, but if you would like walks/ hiking off your property dogs must be leashed for their safety.

About: Hello! I’m Cassidy, a dependable caregiver with hands‑on experience across a wide range of animals. I’ve owned cats, dogs, horses, chickens, ducks, cows, fish, and donkeys, and I’ve provided care for pigs, goats, turkeys, and other farm animals. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medication, behavioral support, and caring for animals from newborns to seniors. My background in social work helps me stay calm, organized, and attentive — especially with pets who are anxious, reactive, or slow to warm up. I communicate clearly, follow instructions closely, and keep you updated with photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s wellbeing and safety are my top priorities, and I bring both experience and heart to every visit. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday life. I’ve spent years caring for animals of all ages, from newborn kittens and calves to senior dogs, horses, and farm animals. As a result, routines like feeding, walking, enrichment, and medication management are second nature to me. I’m consistent, organized, and attentive, and I build my schedule around providing reliable, steady care that helps animals feel secure. Safety is always my top priority. Having worked with a wide range of species- cats, dogs, horses, cows, pigs, goats, donkeys, chickens, ducks, turkeys, and more- I’m comfortable reading body language, managing different temperaments, and adjusting my approach to each animal’s needs. I maintain a calm, structured environment, follow instructions closely, and take the time to build trust with shy, anxious, or slow-to-warm-up pets. You can expect clear communication, consistent updates, and a dependable presence.

“Elizabeth was wonderful, kind, reliable, and very responsive. She was available on short notice, which was a huge help for us. She took great care of not only our cat, Nuggets, but also our 4 chickens! We felt completely at ease knowing our babies were in such good hands. We were so happy with her care that we have already hired her again for our next vacation. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi there! 🐾 I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, reptiles, birds, and more! I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I work with animals of different personalities, temperaments, and care needs. My Rover journey began after losing one of my beloved cats, turning my love for animals into a meaningful way to help others. I understand that pets are family, and I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive, and personalized care while making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved like one of my own! ❤️ I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I’m home throughout the day and have plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and lots of attention. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends and holidays, and love having furry company while I work! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I try to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions while providing plenty of playtime, attention, cuddles, and outdoor time based on their individual needs. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and a large yard for supervised outdoor time. My goal is always to make your fur baby feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and currently care for three cats and a dog of my own, so I’m no stranger to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and the occasional pet with a mind of its own. I also regularly care for my grandmother’s cats whenever she’s away, giving me experience looking after pets that aren’t my own. I know every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one happy and comfortable. Whether your pet wants an adventure, a game of fetch, or just someone to relax with, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet has a great time. I work for USPS, but I keep my Rover calendar updated so you’ll always know when I’m available. On my days off and during my free time, I love spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’ll be there on time and make sure they receive the care, exercise, and affection they deserve. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special routines. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

“We've used Sarah multiple times for drop in visits for our 2 frenchies. She came recommended by a friend so we scheduled a meet and greet. It was instantly apparent that she loves dogs and was really knowledgeable on the french bulldog breed. Our dogs gave her their seal of approval with multiple kisses at the first meeting. Sarah is reliable and professional. She would message us letting us know how the pups were doing and always sent adorable photos. We will continually use Sarah and highly recommend her anyone who wants to be confident that their pets are being taken care with love.”

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Townsend

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,398 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Townsend. 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 .

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 , 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Townsend. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

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 , 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.
