Andrew was wonderful with Lola. He gave detailed reports each time he visited and sent multiple pictures. She was very happy to see us when we got home, but she was in great hands with Andrew!!!

Hannah was wonderful with our two kitties! She sent pictures and detailed Rover Cards that we truly appreciated! This made us much more relaxed while being away! She was not previously familiar with cat inhalers, but was willing to learn during the meet and greet. We will definitely book Hannah for future drop in visits! Thank you Hannah!

Whitney was very sweet with our dogs! She was eager to come and meet them and they loved her right away! She communicated with me during her visit so I felt she was being very conscientious. I would definitely ask her again to watch our dogs!

Hannah was great!! I appreciate that she came by for a meet and greet to go over Toby’s schedule and meds before her drop ins. I felt very comfortable leaving my senior dog for a few days afterward. She was easy to reach via chat when I sent extra instructions and questions. She sent lots of pictures and updates after his meals and potty breaks. Highly recommend! 💙

About: I’ve grown up around all types of pets and absolutely love all animals! We’ve had an array of animals in our house growing up such as a German shepherd, parakeets, love birds, hamsters, gerbils, hermit crabs, and Jack Russell terriers! I now own three dogs! We have a super sweet labrador, a frenchie, and a boxer-pit mix. We love taking our big dogs on hikes and out to socialize any chance we get! Daily walks and outside time are a must for our pups and we love every minute of it. I have experience with IVDD and surgeries to follow with my French Bulldog. With that being said, I have first hand experience with caring for a medically fragile animal, administering medications, and seeing signs of discomfort in animals. As a pet owner and lover I know the importance of making sure you have someone you trust with your animal babies! I’m transitioning from being in the classroom full time to substitute teaching once school starts back up. I am free for the summer and will have flexibility in my schedule, especially for afternoons and evenings. I take my own pups out for a walk at least twice a day morning and evening. They also have outside time at least 3-4 times a day for 20+ minutes. If you choose to have your pet board with us we have a full privacy fenced backyard. We also have crates and gated off rooms to separate pups in they need a break or some down time. Our neighborhood is very walkable and private with low traffic.

All I can say is that Heather did an amazing job taking care of my moody but sweet Cali the Calico. She understood her attitude and gave her the space that she wanted. Heather is very sweet and trustworthy and I felt very comfortable with her in my home and with Cali. I would recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much Heather.

About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life - from dogs of all breeds to guineas pigs and cats. Growing up, I eagerly took part in caring for them and have gained a lot of knowledge and experience in pet care. I have also provided pet sitting/walking services to friends and family. Fun fact: I loved animals of all kinds so much as a child, that I became a vegetarian at 13 years old! And I have been one now for over 15 years! I have a very flexible schedule and more than happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s unique needs, routines, and preferences to ensure they are comfortable and cared for! When caring for your pet in your home, I prioritize their safety, respect your space (and theirs), and strive to create a calm, trustworthy environment where your pets feel secure and loved.

This was the first time I have ever left my two cats while on vacation and was nervous about not being with them but Abigail truly went above and beyond and took such amazing care of them. She is the sweetest and I was able to be more relaxed while out of town knowing they were safe and being taken care of! Will definitely be using her again for any future trips!!

About: I have many years of experience taking care of every different kind of animal. I’m here to take your dog on walks, to play, feed your pet if you’re gone, care for them overnight, at your place or mine! I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, and all of your smaller pets as well. I’m extremely flexible to care for your pet during the day for walks, feeding, play time, as well as overnight while you’re gone! I currently do not have any pets in my home, making it a safe environment for all of yours! I enjoy getting to spend time with your best friends and will treat them with the same love and care as if they’re my own.

About: For about two years I took care of my cousin's amazing dog Cyrus. My cousin had to travel extensively, so my routine with Cyrus was fairly involved. I took him on almost daily 45 minute walks, during which Cyrus would do his best to sneak tasty poop nuggets from under my laser gaze. I fed him twice per day, adding extra carrots as necessary to fuel some afternoon rounds of golf (his favorite game). And we'd bark at a few cars if they seemed extra suspicious. I also took him on routine vet visits and nail trimmings. I've also pet sit my friend's two cats, Iris and June, when my friend was away for several days. This included keeping the food and water bowls clean and filled, as well as playing with strings (Iris's favorite), and playing hide and seek (June's favorite). Currently, I'm switching from my former profession of teaching Physics, to my future profession of Data Sciece/AI. Right now this entails a lot of sitting and studying, which gives me plenty of time and opportunity to help care for your pet. My particular modus operandi will obviously be at the discretion of the pet owner. But generally, I am comfortable feeding your fur-friend, taking them on walks/playing with them, and taking them for routine visits to the vet if necessary.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time caring for them and understanding their unique personalities. I currently care for 2 dogs, 2 rescue cats, and 4 guinea pigs, so I’m very comfortable with multi-pet households and different personalities. One of my cats requires daily medication, which has given me experience following medication routines and paying close attention to a pet’s needs. I also volunteer at our municipal animal shelter and foster dogs and cats, which has given me experience working with animals of many different temperaments, including shy or rescue pets. In addition, I’ve worked with horses for the past 10 years and have over 30 years of horse experience. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I carefully follow each pet’s routine and any instructions you provide so they can stay relaxed in their familiar environment. I’m happy to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand so everyone feels comfortable, and I always send updates and photos so you know your pets are happy and doing well. I work full time with a flexible schedule. On weekdays I’m available for brief drop-in visits in the mornings and longer visits in the evenings, including evening dog walks. On weekends I have more availability and can provide several drop-in visits per day as well as dog walks twice daily. I can also care for small animals like guinea pigs with morning and evening visits. Because of my experience with horses and farm animals, I’m also available for weekend barn checks or basic care as needed. In addition to pet care, I’m happy to help with small household tasks while you’re away, such as watering plants, bringing in mail, and weekend house sitting. If your request doesn’t seem to perfectly fit my listed schedule, please feel free to reach out anyway. I’m always happy to see if we can find a solution that works for both of us. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their normal routine so they feel comfortable and relaxed. During visits I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also clean litter boxes, check cages for small animals, and can give medication if needed. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure each pet’s needs and routines are respected. After each visit, I send updates and photos so you know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

Kelli was great with our three cats! One of our girls is very shy and doesn’t always like to meet new people, but she really liked Kelli and that made me feel so much better! I asked her if she would be able to do a few extra things around the house (set the trash on the curb, sweep up litter, etc) and she did so with no complaints! I will definitely be booking her again

I couldn’t have asked for better care for my cat, Oreo. Whitney is a true animal lover and really connected with her, which meant so much to me. Her communication was thoughtful, responsive, and always kept me feeling at ease. She went above and beyond, and I truly felt like Oreo was so well cared for while I was away. I would absolutely trust her again!

Sara was absolutely amazing. Caring, attentive, and wonderful with my cats. She even brought her own toys, which they loved! One of my cats usually takes time to warm up to new people, but Sara managed to get him comfortable on day one. She went above and beyond, without being asked she took the litter with her instead of leaving it in the trash, washing the cat bowls, and following all of my instructions perfectly. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. I highly recommend Sara and will definitely be booking her again. Thanks again Sara!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Walden on Rover is $15.54 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 494 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Walden. 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 Walden. On Rover:

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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.
