About: My daughter and I would love to help you out! I have experience with a high needs bully breed, and have ample experience with training and caring for pups and cats- grew up with 2 cats and a dog:). My daughter would be present for any dogsitting, but not with me for walks and drop - ins unless pre-approved with you:) I work from home Tuesday through Friday and am around most of the weekends and would love to help you out either of those times We have miles of trails behind our house and green spaces nearby. We’re happy to walk your pups on your terms where you are most comfortable!
“Marina was a fantastic cat sitter! She was quick to respond during all communications, took diligent notes on our cat’s specific routine, shared loads of much-appreciated pictures, and wrote a detailed summary after each visit. We felt reassured that our cat was in such good hands with Marina and will be using her services again in the future!”
“François was great! He was responsive to my questions before I booked him & sent me daily updates about how Pye was settling in. He let me bring her cat tree as a bit of 'home' for her. I would definately use him as a sitter again if I ever needed one.”
“Isabella was wonderful - took amazing care of our (mischievous and energy-filled) cats! Super communicative and sent lots of pictures. Would definitely welcome her back to cat/house sit anytime!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages for over 15+ years. I treat every animal as if they are my own and truly love spending time with them. I’d love to help you out and care for your pet! I have a very flexible schedule with remote work and school. I can adjust my schedule as needed to best fit your and your pet’s needs. I would be happy to meet you and your pet in advance, if that’s something you prefer! I feel comfortable caring for pets of all ages and abilities.
“Jordan was great! I would highly recommend her. She sent photos and a note each day and I knew from her previous reviews that my cats, one very shy, would be in good hands. Thanks Jordan!”
About: Here to help animals get those hard to reach itchy spots. I love all animals and enjoy the different types of attitudes and demeanors each one brings. I have had many pets and worked in shelters before so Ive seen animals in all their forms. I work at the office Monday thru Friday 8-4. I however have a lot of flexibility with those hours and location depending on the type of care being sought. I follow the rules and guidance of the owner as closely as possible. They know their pet and how to most safely and compassionately care for them.
“Brianna made sure my hateful little furball was well-cared for, understanding how to give her the space she needed while still keeping her company and well-fed. Thank you so much!”
About: I grew up caring for and feeding the neighbors cats and dogs in my teenage years. Kirby was our first indoor dog, I helped care for him through two knee surges multiple tooth extractions and into his senior years when he required special meals and extra care with respiratory and mobility issues. I've cared for cats, and dogs of varying ages. I typically never travel over the holidays and would be happy to spend time taking care of your sweet pets! I work full time but have extra time on my days off or before and after shifts to give pets the attention they need, I love to get outside wether that's walking (or in some cases pushing the stroller for your senior dog/cat) to get some fresh air and exercise. I'm happy to take them to their favorite park or just hang out and give lots of love and pets or in cases of some cats ignore them till they love me. Let me know if they have any rituals or new training your working on with them so they can have the continuity even when your not home.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Waltham Highlands
Had a fantastic experience with Olivia once again! She’s very reliable and I always appreciate her detailed write ups. My kitties have really warmed to her and trust her, showing how great of a sitter Olivia is. Will definitely book her again for any future trips!
Sue is a wonderful pet sitter! Sue has been looking after our cat, Sasha, for several years now. Sue is pleasant and professional. She is very flexible with her availability and is great at communicating. She always sends an update and photos after every check in. We plan to continue to use her services for as long as she is offering them and would definitely recommend her to other pet owners.
Caroline is our go-to pet sitter on Rover. She takes wonderful care of our cats and is always giving us updates with pictures each visit. She makes sure they always have what they need and are given lots of love and attention. We highly recommend Caroline and will surely be going back to her whenever we need a sitter.
Stephanie is the absolute best. She gives the best care to our two boys, paying special attention to our shy one, and gives detailed updates with great pictures and videos. It's such a relief to know that, when we are gone, our guys will not just get food and water, they'll get all the love and pets they need. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Waltham Highlands is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $40 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.
As of November 2026, there are 1,656 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Waltham Highlands. 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 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.

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.
