Josh did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats! He gave us picture updates and was in prompt touch when one of our kitties puked during one of his visits. Thank you for being a great pet-sitter!

We can’t say enough good things about Yuzhou! She has been absolutely amazing with our dogs—so caring, patient, and attentive. Our pups are always sooo excited to see her and come home happy and well-exercised after every walk. We also love the detailed updates she sends after each visit—it gives us such peace of mind knowing the boys are so well cared for. Yuzhou truly treats our pups like family, and we feel so lucky to have her!

Charlene spent an evening with our pup while we were getting married. She made sure he has a walk, ate, has lots of play time, and was all tucked in at the end of the night. He looked happy as can be in all the pictures she sent!

Sanela did an amazing job caring for our two boy cats! She provided many photos and videos during her visits with them and that was so nice to see while we were away. She was very communicative throughout the entire process and also let me set up a FaceTime call with her prior to the visits to show her around our home. Right off the bat I could tell that she loves caring for animals, and that our boys would be in great hands. We came home to a clean apartment and happy and healthy kitties, and we are excited to use Sanela again for future visits!

About: My name is Suzie and I am 30 years old. I have owned a dog all my life and currently have one dog named Moose. I have interacted with many different types of dogs and personalities. I am confident I can make you dog happy. I currently work at a Hospital 3 days a week, so I am home majority of the week. I have just moved to the North Andover area and would love to explore the area with your dog. I also live with my boyfriend who is usually around when I am at work. He owns a female Husky who is at my condo occasionally. I do not have rules about pets being on furniture or in the bed. I have dog beds and large crate for them, whatever the prefer. Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I am home 4 days a week from work. I am able to be home with your dog to feed it and take it out in a timely manner. I work 15 minutes up the road, so if necessary I can leave work to let the dogs out. I live in a dog friendly condo complex that I can take your dog on a walk and live near trails to walk also. I have an open door crate dogs can go into if they are feeling overwhelmed or need a safe place to sleep.

Yuzhou was my first pet sitter on Rover, and I know I hit the jackpot. She reliably kept to the schedule, did daily feedings and litter cleaning, but what really impressed me was her notes each day. I could tell that Yuzhou was connecting with my cat, asking me questions along the way, and absolutely won both our hearts ❤️ I highly recommend Yuzhou and will book with her again

Sanela was amazing! We have a super high energy young cat that needs a lot of play and she did an excellent job in playing with him until he was out of energy. She also did a great job with our older kitty who is all about his special morning soup! We are so happy we picked her and despite the older one not liking many people, he loved being around her immediately. And, even would pose for their daily photo shoot with her, they love her! She is a cat whisperer and we would 110% book again. She also has very reasonable prices for services which is great for our longer trips. And, very respectful of our house rules which is appreciated. Thank you, Sanela! The kitties thank you, too!

Nina was a fabulous drop in for my cat. She took great care of him, adapting to his needs, and managing the litter box, trash, and recycling. She even carefully cleaned up after him when he had a digestive glitch as cats sometimes do, without complaint and with genuine concern for his well being. Drop in photos were a delight and made me feel he was happy and comfortable. I trust her and will definitely book her again.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Wakefield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Wakefield on Rover is $25.53 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 4,754 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Wakefield. 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 Wakefield. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
