About: In addition to cats, I have experience taking care of parakeets, hamsters, fish, and mice. I have taken care of several of my friends' and relatives' pets throughout the years. I work hybrid and have some flexibility on which days I can work remotely. I can visit your pet early in the morning or on evenings on weekdays and anytime during the weekend. I will always make sure your cat has fresh water, enough food, and a clean litter box. I can administer any meds as needed and give the kitty lots of attention! I know cats get lonely despite their reputation as independent. They still want and need someone to come by and pet them, play with them, and give them treats when their human is away. I also understand how important it is to have the peace of mind knowing that there is someone responsible and mature taking care of your feline friend!

“Marina was a wonderful cat sitter! She came by a few days before my vacation to meet my cat and get him comfortable around her. My cat is young and wary of strangers. He usually doesn’t go up to people he doesn’t know, but he was immediately comfortable with Marina. While I was away, she took very detailed notes and plenty of pictures. I had assurance that my cat was getting the playtime he needs (he’s very active). I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that he was in good hands!”

Carol took her time and our cat appeared to be very happy as a result! We will absolutely be booking with Carol for all our animal sitting needs going forward!”

About: Hello! I live in Watertown. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule so I enjoy dog walking and pet drop-ins for pure joy. If you book with me, seeing your pet will be a highlight of my day. You can count on me when it comes to communication with you and love for your baby. I bring toys and treats, and can work with shy furry friends. Follow my journey at maggiewalksthe617 on Instagram. Please note - for dog owners seeking walks or drop ins for going out of town I will need the full schedule of when the pet will be let out in the event I am not covering all potty breaks. Will only take visits where the dog has care every 8 hours at the most. I work full time from home in HR as a comp analyst. My schedule is very flexible. I want to schedule walks adhoc during the day or after work! When entering a clients home I will treat the area with care, make sure to lock up, check for water for the animal. I will do my best to find an appropriate outdoor/garage trash for the waste as well.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life! I also rode horses for quite some time, and am an overall animal lover. I have a cat currently named Miley! She was born and raised in New Orleans, but has quite the passport! Traveling by car, boat and plane across the East Coast! I have trained her to be comfortable in new environments and with adventure! I recently moved back to Belmont from NYC because my dad is ill and my family needs me nearby. I’m looking to pick up extra work, and pet sitting would be a meaningful way to earn money while spending time caring for animals. I keep pets’ routines and comfort in mind, follow care instructions carefully, and send updates so you know how things are going. I’m staying with my black cat Miley, so I’d only host another pet if we’ve confirmed they’ll be comfortable and safe together.

“Shawn dropped in to take care of our two cats multiple days during our long vacation. It was a huge relief knowing they were in good hands and getting photos each day. She followed our detailed feeding instructions that involved wet food with medication mixed in, and measuring out dry food on a scale. She also gave us detailed updates on their behavior and it was clear she really cared about their comfort and mood while we were gone. Thank you Shawn, would definitely book again!”

About: I have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs. I grew up with animals in my home and it was my responsibility to care for them in the mornings before school, change their litter boxes or take them for walks, and feed them. I am gentle and patient with rescue animals that need time to warm up to me. I work full-time, four 10 hour shifts per week, but am off Thursdays and every weekend. I can provide care before and after work, and any time on my days off. I create a calm, loving environment tailored to each cat’s needs. In your home, I maintain their routine, provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and offer plenty of playtime and affection. I’m also experienced in administering medications and ensuring a stress-free experience while you're away!

About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they are away. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets with specific routines or needs. I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well-exercised. I treat every pet like they are part of my own family and always prioritize their comfort, happiness, and safety. I currently work part-time, which allows me to have a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I can often accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on the day. I enjoy spending time with animals, going on walks, and making sure they get the attention and exercise they need while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions from pet owners, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special care needs. I always make sure pets are secure on walks and comfortable in their home environment. I’m attentive, responsible, and respectful of both pets and their homes. I provide lots of love, attention, and updates so owners feel confident their pets are being well cared for.

About: I grew up in a home with three Boxers and have always had animals as an important part of my life. As an adult, I’ve cared for several cats, currently have two of my own, and have experience caring for a variety of animals, including horses. I’ve also previously cared for a Maine Coon, so I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m comfortable caring for animals who may be shy, anxious, energetic, stubborn, or simply a little mischievous. I’m patient, attentive, and take the time to understand each pet’s individual routine and needs. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I was recently laid off from my job, so I have ample time to spend with your pet and get to know them and their individual needs! Pets are often happiest and most comfortable in their own homes, surrounded by their familiar toys, treats, routines, and favorite spots. I’m more than happy to come to your home and care for your pets while you’re away, helping keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’m respectful of your home and personal space and will treat it with the same care I give to your pets. I’m also very comfortable following detailed care instructions and will make sure your pet’s usual routines, medications, feeding schedules, and other needs are followed closely. Most importantly, I want you to feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Waverley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Waverley is $23 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $36 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 October 2026, there are 5,053 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Waverley. 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 Waverley. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
