âThis is the second time we have booked Grace to care for our cat, and like the first time she has been a pleasure to work with, always friendly and professional. We came home to find our cat looking healthy and happy. We recommend Grace for anyone looking for a dependable, responsible and friendly presence.â

âKendra did drop in visits for my two cats for a week. She was patient, affectionate, and attentive to gaining the trust of my timid cat and stimulating my frisky cat. She expertly administered medicine as scheduled for my cat that required it. She maintained a clean living space, frequently scooping litterboxes and washing food and water dishes. I felt completely at ease from her updates, and when I returned home my kitties seemed at ease as well. She is a knowledgeable, professional, compassionate petsitter. 10/10 would recommend.â

About: Iâve had dogs in my life since I was a kid, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. Iâm heading to UMass to study Animal Science and hope to join the National Guard to gain EOD bomb-sniffing dog experience. I currently own a high-energy Border Collie/Australian Kelpie mix I rescued, and Iâve also cared for an elderly Shih Tzu who needed lots of special attention and patience. Iâm very work-oriented, reliable, and people have told me Iâm great with customer service. Neighbors, friends, and family often count on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I truly love every moment of it. As a full-time student, Iâve built a schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care. I also work at a doggy daycare in Avon, CT, so my work schedule usually varies throughout the week. Iâm happy to communicate my availability ahead of time and work with each pet parent to find a schedule that works best for everyone. Iâm generally more flexible on days Iâm not working and can often accommodate evenings and weekends. I treat every pet like theyâre my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while theyâre in my care. Working at a doggy daycare has given me experience handling dogs with all different personalities, energy levels, ages, and needs. Iâm attentive to their body language and routines and always make sure they get the appropriate amount of exercise, attention, rest, food, and potty breaks. I also understand that every dog is different, so Iâm happy to follow each petâs specific routine and their ownerâs instructions.
âLoriâs service, taking care of my elderly cat, was remarkable. It became clear quite quickly that she was thinking of my catâs welfare first and foremost. Iâm inexperienced with having cat sitters staying the night in a house sitting capacity. Lori handled my catâs needs as well as my general requests expertly - and I felt reassured. She exceeded my expectations, showing consideration by offering to do a task or two I hadnât requested. All in all, she was lovely to work with. With Lori caring for my cat, I feel confident taking longer trips, knowing my cat will be so well looked after!â

âEmily took great care of our cat when we were away! She caught a mistake I had made with his medication instructions and made sure he got the correct dose at each visit. Emily sent updates and pictures and provided insight to some of his behaviors weâve been trying to figure out. Would absolutely recommend emily to anyone looking for competent and compassionate cat care!â

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 579 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across New Salem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your catsâ 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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.

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.
