“Thanks again, Adele, the cats were well cared for as usual! For those reading this, Adele is on time every day for each of her appointments and spends plenty of time interacting with my cats. She gave them their medicine, food, and supplements, and played with the laser and gave them plenty of attention.”

About: I have a weiner dog named Benny whom I raised and trained since he was a puppy. I’ve cared for puppies post-neuter/spay surgery as well as walking and caring for injured dogs. I have experience administering medication to dogs and cats. I’ve housesat for friends to care for their cats and have lived with and cared for a cat for over 3 years. I love animals and I’m passionate about their well-being and quality of life. I know every animal is unique, and needs to be approached with that in mind. I’m currently working part time in the evenings for a couple hours so I have early morning to late afternoon available. I also have availability on weekends. I’ve spent time with many different kinds of pets and I feel confident that after spending a little time with yours, I’ll understand how they want to be approached and cared for. I raised my dog since he was a puppy and took part in his training so I feel confident with dogs of any age. I’ve spent many years around cats and know their mannerisms and the quiet language that they use to communicate. I’m meticulous and careful when walking dogs since I raised mine in NYC; I understand how to keep their attention and be firm when necessary to keep them safe and attentive on their walks. I want you to come home to a pet that is happy and healthy, above all.

About: I worked at the Ipswich Animal Shelter for 6 years and have extensive experience caring for animals of all ages. I’ve always owned cats, from kittens to seniors, and am very comfortable caring for cats of all ages and temperaments! I’ve also lived with dogs throughout my life and have cared for friends’ and relatives’ pets while they were away. My experience includes walking, feeding, bathing, and administering medications for both dogs and cats when needed. I’m a huge animal lover and treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have open availability Monday through Friday, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize pet care throughout the week, including walks, visits, and in-home sitting. I’m also able to accommodate weekends when needed with advanced notice. I always care for pets as if they were my own and consistently follow their established routines as closely as possible! In a client’s home, I make sure feeding, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and any medications are handled on schedule, while also keeping their environment clean, calm, and comfortable. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether that means giving dogs plenty of exercise and enrichment or providing cats with patience, quiet time, and space to adjust at their own pace. I also prioritize communication with pet parents and provide updates so they feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.

About: I’ve grown up around pets my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. From dogs and cats to the everyday responsibilities that come with having a pet, I’ve gained plenty of hands-on experience over the years. With my husband and our two kids ages 8 and 5, we had a cat for 16 years and recently adopted a lab mix. I’m currently a puppy parent, so I understand the patience, attention, exercise, playtime, and love required! I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection. I am available for taking care of a dog in home, dog walks, playtime or cat visits. I am currently a stay-at-home mom and have the flexibility to provide care during the day. This includes walk, playtime and visits for love and attention. I have a fully fenced in back yard which our puppy adores. I am comfortable with using a crate or not, depending on the need of the dog.

About: From 🦀 to 🐴 (but no seahorse experience, sorry) I adore all creatures great and small, “and your little dog too” as someone who didn’t much like to get wet once said! Experienced, sincere and trustworthy housesitter and petsitter but new to this app, I’ll add some of my favorite fur-tography inevitably but many are passed away and it makes me sad. My undivided attention, I’m doing this because I love to, not because I’m bored. It’s worthwhile to me to be of use. To the old fashioned manners born, to treat another’s home with respect and care, to leave any place indoors or out of doors in a golden-rule adjacent way.

About: I have five years of experience caring for pets and looking after homes through numerous house-sitting assignments. I've been surrounded by animals throughout my life. My experience includes caring for cats, dogs, fish, gecko, shrimps, birds, newborn kittens and puppies, as well as pets with additional care needs. I enjoy getting to know each animal's unique personality and maintaining their familiar routines while their owners are away. I love animals and they usually love me back. I'm equally attentive to the responsibility of looking after someone's home. I'm an experienced pet & house sitter and yoga instructor with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals. I specialize in overnight and extended house sitting, allowing pets to remain comfortable in their own homes while their owners travel. I treat every home with care and respect, follow established routines and prioritize clear communication. My goal is to give homeowners peace of mind, knowing that their pets and property are in responsible hands. I offer live-in house sitting exclusively, rather than standalone drop-in visits. I treat every home with respect and every pet as a family member. I carefully follow owners' instructions, maintain established routines, and pay close attention to each pet's health, behavior, and well-being. My five years of house-sitting experience have taught me the importance of reliability, clear communication, and respecting homeowners' privacy. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel secure while their families are away.

“J was a fantastic stay-in catsitter for my foster cat, Lyric. She stayed for six days and nights, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. Lyric can be shy, but J did an amazing job bringing him out of his shell. She got him using cat beds and toys he’d never shown interest in before. J clearly has a wonderful instinct with cats and a very calm, positive presence. J also took excellent care of the house, kept the litter very clean, and was extremely communicative throughout the stay. J sent lots of photos and videos, and as a former professional photographer the pictures were truly beautiful. As a thoughtful surprise, J even left a small painting of Lyric on a wooden block, which meant a lot. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend J to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and truly wonderful cat sitter.”

“Raul has stayed with our cat, Flopsi, twice now. I can happily say my cat and I were comforted by the care and attention Raul showed him over both visits. Raul has a gentle, calm nature that helps put even a nervous boy like my Flops at ease. Raul also took great care of our home, keeping it clean and tidy. We’re so happy we found such a reliable, responsible sitter for Flops. We already plan to have Raul back for a longer stay during an upcoming trip.”

About: Vacation with peace of mind knowing your beloved canine family member will be safe and happy; and perhaps, a bit overly loved. There’s always lots of play and pamper time and all walks are free! I’ll gladly keep in direct contact with you providing pictures and videos throughout each. I will lay with your fur babies, play outside, go on walks/adventures, relax and watch movies. I love all animals and believe they deserve to have a good time even when their owner cannot be home. I have always been an animal lover, i never felt like watching them was work, just fun. I respect the owner's wishes for anything they need me to do in order to give their animal the best experience while I am watching them. I am always home since I’m a full time grooming student @ Animal Behavior College. My long term goal is to open up a pet and spa resort one day! 🐾 I believe that daily exercise, games, mental challenges and proper socialization is necessary for your pup to live a long and happy life! We think it’s so important that we do it for our pup and of course yours while you are away. I have a fenced in back area and 2 fur babies myself to keep your pup company. We have extra crated if needed and loads of toys to keep them happy! If alone time is their thing, they are always allowed to cuddle with us on our furniture! If a drop- in, I am very good at following concise instructions to insure happy and safe animals while you’re away! I am always home as I’m a mom of three. Your pet will get lots of one on one attention from me. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I have a fenced yard outside area and lots of toys. Also, I have a pool for my fur friends to play and cool off in during the summer! Your fur baby will feel at home and will receive lots of love and cuddles.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Newbury

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 3,565 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Newbury. 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 Newbury. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% 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.
