About: I love all furry friends - I have a lovely cat, and I enjoy taking care of my friends’ puppies short or long terms. Taking them to long walks is my favorite part! I work on a flexible schedule, so I’m available on most weekday mornings or afternoons. I’d be ou-of-town on some weekends so pls let me know what’s your schedule like if pup needs walks on weekends! I have leashes (non-retractable) for small and medium dogs. I’m confident keeping pups of these sizes safe from traffic / other animals all the time. It’ll definitely be a plus if your pup know some commands!
“Ari is fantastic and took such good care of our kitties while we were away! Especially our senior kitty that needed a lot of daily pills. I really appreciated Ari’s thorough communication and picture updates. It was a great relief knowing our babies were well cared for!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for large and small dogs, walking multiple large dogs off-leash, and caring for dogs and cats overnight, or for drop-ins. As a collegiate field hockey player, I can keep up with the highest energy dogs! I love the outdoors and going on walks as well as just staying in and playing with your pets. I am a college student and have free time in the evenings, on Sundays, and during mid-day on most days. I love spending time with pets and go out of my way to make time for them! I foster a calm and comfortable space in your home to make your pet feel comfortable when their owner is away! I will adopt any habits you do to make them happy as well.
“Lucy is absolutely amazing! Our dog typically is really nervous around new people when my husband and I are gone but she was super patient and loving with him and he warmed up to her right away! She also is very thorough with her visits which we were beyond thrilled to see in her pictures of our dog, videos, and end-of-visit summaries. We will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I’ve had the joy of caring for a wide variety of animals—from turtles and birds to fish and beyond! Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, or just spending quality time with them, I genuinely love every moment. It’s not just a responsibility for me—it’s pure enjoyment and something I’m truly passionate about. I’m heading off to college soon, which means I currently have lots of free time and no major obligations. That gives me the perfect opportunity to focus on providing your pets with all the attention and care they need. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m here and happy to help! When caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s—I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I make sure the environment is clean, pet-proofed, and calm. I follow any instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or specific behavior needs. I also take time to build trust with each pet so they feel secure and cared for, not just watched. My goal is to make the experience stress-free for both pets and their owners, with plenty of love and attention every step of the way!
“Devon took such wonderful care of Dutton and Ranch again! She always goes above and beyond and gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. She’s thoughtful, reliable, and clearly cares so much about our cats. We always come home to happy, well cared for pets and couldn’t recommend her more.”
“Wendy is kind and trustworthy. She took the time to get to know my dog and made sure she was comfortable at the first visit. My dog is a unique breed so I really appreciated the patience. She was very professional!”
“Sally does such a great job with both our cat and dog. Sally walks our dog weekly and is always on time and super communicative. She’s also super reliable for random drop ins needed for our cat when I am out of town! Highly recommend Sally!”
“Caitlin is amazing!!! She was so loving and caring towards my cats, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away visiting family for a week. I’ve gone through many cat sitters, many of whom I felt like didn’t give my cats enough love during their visits, and I can confidently say that I felt like my cats were very loved and in good hands. I highly recommend booking with Caitlin!! 💕”
“Kylie stopped in to bring my dog Patsy out when I had to work longer shifts at work. She was a great communicator and I felt very comfortable having her care for Patsy. I could tell Patsy loved her too based off how happy she looked in the photos Kylie sent! I would definitely recommend any of her services!”
About: I have worked as a vet tech for 4 years, and am well versed in caring for dogs and cats of all ages and degrees of health. I have also worked in shelters, and have 4 dogs of my own including 2 German Shepards, a pit-bull, and a golden, so I am comfortable about dogs of all temperaments. I am currently working with flexible hours, mostly from home. I am available most hours and can work around your schedule. I am more than happy to plan my day around the needs of your pet! I am familiar with how to introduce myself to a pet in their own environment in order to build their trust and leave them at ease. I am happy to follow any instruction on crating or other requests to ensure your pet is safe.
“She’s the only person I trust to care for my cat. She always takes such good care of him, and he loves her! She goes above and beyond. I highly recommend Charlene.”
“Livia did an amazing job with my pup. He is nervous when meeting new people but with her he warmed up pretty quickly and did so well. Thank you so much and glad to add her to our caregiver team 😊”
“Juyeon was great with our cats, and our shy cat opened up to her almost right away. We appreciate her communication regarding updates for the cats and coordinating timing of the visits. Overall, highly recommended!”
“Angelica is a wonderful pet sitter, she is very friendly and responsive. She took good care of my cat and did everything that I requested and more. My cat loved her, and I had a worry-free trip knowing that my cat is in good hands. I will definitely book her again in the future and recommend her to my friends and family! Thank you Angelica!”
“Emily took care of our cat like she was her own while we were out of town. She was incredibly responsive, gave us regular updates, and went above and beyond to make sure our cat was happy. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in such loving and capable hands. We came home to a very happy cat—and a spotless home. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring.”
About: I am a 28 year old nurse with much pet experience. I currently have a 12 year old frenchie, Willie! I grew up with two cats and a dog, which I helped take care of. Additionally I have done a lot of pet sitting for neighbors and friends over the years! I am back in school so have flexibility most days to walk, drop in to check or feed your animals! Of note: I have class on Mondays and Tuesdays all day so I can drop in early morning or in the afternoons (I have a couple hours midday on Mondays between classes so just inquire and I can see if we can work anything out!). Just send me a message to see how I can help! I have been around many types of animals growing up so am comfortable caring for them. I treat them just as I would my own, with their safety being a priority.

It was great to have TJ looking after our cats. He was very communicative and prompt, we felt like they were in great hands while on our trip. He was patient with one of cats that can be a little skittish and he was great with our older cat that needs a little more attention. We will definitely use TJ again and recommend him.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Wellesley on Rover is $24.42 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 5,336 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Wellesley. 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 Wellesley. On Rover:
- 92% 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.
