Cat Sitting in Newbury Old Town

“Leslie is always great in communication and sends plenty of photos that helps keep my heart and mind at ease while I'm away. I am so grateful for her help!”

“Michael provided excellent care for our two cats. He was consistent with twice daily drop-ins while we were away on a week- long trip. He gave updates with adorable pics of our babies after each visit and even spent some time playing with them! It gave us peace of mind, knowing our kitties were in good hands while we were away! We highly recommend him!”

Heather A.

“Collette took excellent care of my two cats, one of whom requires medication (in pill form) twice daily. She watched them for a full week making two visits a day and keeping me informed of how they were doing and was up front with any issues that arose.”

Frank C.

“Linda did a wonderful job watching my two cats while I was away. From the first day she met my cats they were comfortable with her. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”

Jeanine C.

“Tyler is the absolute best at taking care of my needy, giant baby of a cat. His patience knows no bounds and his daily notes are hilarious. 100% recommend!”

Jennifer S.

“Terry left thorough, even funny, updates about our cat while we were gone for a long trip. I felt confident that our pet and our home were safe in her care. My daughter will be laughing about the mystery of the missing cat treats for a long, long time! Many thanks, Terry!”

Laura C.

“I would give Laura 10 stars if I could. She made our vacation stress free. Even when I needed to add an impromptu second visit mid week, it was no problem. We have two English Setters and one is a little anxious with people she doesn’t know and they both loved Laura. We also loved the daily pictures and updates she sent. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be contacting her again. Thank you so much Laura!”

Emily Z.

“Laura was great. She cleaned some unfortunate litter box issues. Bless her. More importantly than that, though. I returned home to cats that were not stressed. This is a first for them and I’m so grateful.”

Carolyn Briggs S.

“Jordyn was GREAT!! This was the first time we left him since he adopted us, so it was a tough time with leaving him. I knew when she came & left, got updates & pictures, which is tremendously helpful. When I asked about anything, I immediately got an answer. I have not heard the end of it since we got back. (I didn't bring any lobsters for him) Thanks Jordyn, we will see you again!”

Jenny J.

“Karen provided excellent care for our cats while we were away. She provided prompt and complete updates after each visit and made us feel confident that our pets were in good hands. Karen took the time to meet us and our pets ahead of time to ensure that everything went smoothly and was very easy to deal with. I would highly recommend her.”

Tristan L.

“Janine was so amazing! Took great care of my 2 kitties. Gave them lots of love and kept them entertained with enrichment and playtime. You’re awesome! thank you!!”

Kaela R.

“Teresa is outstanding. We are very confident when traveling that our cats are shown love and affection, and that their needs are met. It was the little things she did for them/us is why we will continue to utilize Teresa. We highly recommend her.”

About: My first experience taking care of dogs came at the age of 14 when my family got a rescue black lab puppy. Around the same time, I also started taking care of my friends' pets when they were away. Ever since then, I've become a huge dog lover and have become quite familiar with their different needs and signals. Whether they are playful, couch potatoes, big babies, or outside-lovers, I'm there for them! I am doing this as a part-time gig for the summer, so I have plenty of flexibility! The only times that don't work for me are Thursday and Friday mornings. I can take care of your pet on weekends and (most) holidays. I know meeting new people can be overstimulating for some dogs, especially with the combination of owners being away. I focus on being gentle and making pets feel as comfortable as possible. I also recognize every dog is unique and has their own habits/needs, which I take into account as well.

About: I've cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was a kid, and been a dog mom myself for 12 years. I've done it all - from feeding, walks and playtime, to bathing and cleaning up accidental messes. I currently petsit for friends and family and love every second of it! I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own fur babies. I work from home and make my own schedule so I have lots of time and flexibility to stop in and take care of your furry friend! I'm comfortable walking multiple dogs on leashes and I'm extra patient with dogs who need a little extra support or guidance while on lead. I'm highly aware of my surroundings and keep playtime in safe, enclosed spaces your dog is comfortable in. And as I've cared for my dogs, as well as others' dogs, for about 20 years, I'm really good at reading dog body language and telling when they're tired, needing some rest or water, or still need a few more minutes of sniffing the neighbor's bushes :)

“Sara is great with our two kitties! Is sure to always play with them and take care of anything extra that needs to be done. Has helped us out with packages and even offered to water our garden in the past. Definitely recommend!”

“Jessica was great from the beginning. She contacted me immediately after I reached out. Very responsive and communicated well throughout the process. My cats were in great hands! I highly recommend Jessica for any house sitting needs.”

About: I have been a pet lover my entire life. Growing up, we always had dogs, cats, aquariums and canaries. I have had the pleasure of having several generations of yorkies in my life. My last little Rosie lived for 17 years and enjoyed a loving and pampered life. I love all animals and would care for your pet as if it were my own. I live in a small antique house located a couple of blocks from the Merrimack River. There is a beautiful walking path close to my home that welcomes dog walkers. I have a small brick paved yard that is fenced and secure.Your pet will be pampered and spoiled in my care. We love to go to the beach and have close access to a great dog friendly beach as well as the dog park down the street. In addition to being a pet sitter, I am a realtor, cooking coach and recipe tester. I spend a lot of time in my kitchen which is adjacent to my enclosed yard. Most pets like to be close to me so I always seem to have company when I am cooking. Your pet will feel safe and loved in my home. I know from personal experience how important it is to know your pet will receive the special care and love that they are accustomed to at home. Please note that there may be extra charge for holidays and time after 24 hour period. Custom quotes available. I do work as a realtor but mostly from home. When I do leave your pets will be safe with run of the kitchen and dining room. Otherwise they will be by my side. I am home most of the time and never more than 2 hours a day away. I have a secure fenced in yard and of course will provide several walks a day. I prefer a small dogs that are hopefully trained to do their business outside but having had Yorkies for years I know there are occasional accidents. I will provide them with loving care and lots of hugs and kisses always.

“Mimi is a great pet sitter! She took very good care of our two cats when we were away, and they liked her as well. She is kind, responsive, and reliable. We would definitely ask Mimi for sitting them again. Highly recommended!”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for both cats and dogs. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve spent many years caring for pets in a home environment—growing up with two cats and a sweet family dog who truly felt like part of the family. I’ve always been the go-to person among friends and family for feeding, walking, and spending time with their pets when they’re away. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to look after your furry loved ones—and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m attentive, reliable, and happy to follow any specific instructions you provide. Whether your pet needs a brisk walk, calm companionship, or just someone to play fetch with, I’ll make sure they’re well taken care of and treated like my own. I’m also happy to send photos and updates while you’re away so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I’m excited to meet new pets and their people—and I look forward to helping however I can! My schedule is very flexible (usually available at all hours), which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. Whether it’s a morning walk, a midday check-in, or an evening feeding, I make time for each pet and treat every visit with the attention it deserves. I always treat pets and their homes with the utmost respect. I follow all owner instructions carefully, prioritize safety, and make sure pets feel calm, secure, and loved. I never leave a pet unsupervised outside, and I clean up after them to keep things tidy. My goal is to make the experience stress free for both the pet and the owner.

“Christine has been great, keeping me updated on my kitties! Lola and Zeus went right to her and snuggled quickly. Will definitely hire her again!”
