“Daniel cared for my two cats today, and I am impressed! My cats are on two ends of the personality spectrum. One is young and friendly/affectionate, and one is older and, well, not that friendly. Daniel shared a photo of the older one sitting right next to him! She has actually never done that with a "new" person. He was prompt, communicative, responsible, and dependable. We would not hesitate for a moment to hire him again for any pet care needs. Meeting him has taken a later of stress off any future trips we book, and minimized the stress for our cats too, who clearly liked him better than they like us! Thanks Daniel!”
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.
“Jeannine is fantastic! She goes above and beyond making sure your pets are taken care of. Leaves great detailed notes and takes very good pictures. My one dog was quite skittish but she took the time to get to get her comfortable and everything worked out. I would highly recommend Jeannine to anyone in need.”
About: I worked as a dog walker for a year where I walked 6 dogs at a time usually walking around 36 dogs per day. I would also brush out feed and give the dogs water and any meds they may need for the day. Lastly I grew up with dogs my entire life so I know how to care for them very well I an currently babysitting and looking to walk dogs in my free days as a summer job. I am available most days and am happy to do any length of walk or visit needed I have a fenced in large yard and 2 very friendly dogs so if I ever needed to bring your dog to my house it would be completely safe
“Leslie was the best communicator and cat sitter during my time away from Louie. She kept me posted on his activities. I was excited to see daily pics of him. She earned my trust and I will go with her again and again and again. Thanks! Renee & Louie”
“Susan was a phenomenal cat sitter. She took care of my elderly cat with gentle care and gave her medication easily. I would highly recommend Susan to anyone that is looking for an attentive and communicative sitter.”
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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, growing up with them as family pets and starting my own neighborhood dog walking business. I’m patient and kind and love to get to know the unique personalities of all animals. Right now I just finished up a cruise ship contract and will be free for the next few months. My schedule is open and flexible. I will care for pets in a caring and kind way and follow the instructions each owner provides. I follow instructions well and will care for all pets to the best of my ability.
About: I don't just 'pet sit'; I manage a household of six dogs, giving me a level of situational awareness that most sitters simply don't have Seasonal professional with an open winter schedule! Since I’m off-season, your pet(s) gets my full-time, undivided love & attention and 24/7 care all winter long. I provide 24/7 dedicated care, maintaining your pet's exact routine. Whether at my home or yours, I offer pack-level safety, medicine administration, and constant companionship.
About: Fun, loving, kind to dogs. Love to play with them, been dog walking when my family needs me to experience if dog pulls/starts to run Looking for part time, as long as I can bring my son on weekends it’ll be fine. Weekdays M-F 9am to 2pm availability. Thank you! Enter home through side door and make sure to greet pets before doing whatever is needed to be done. Make sure pets don’t escape. Thanks!
About: My experience with pet sitting includes caring for and starting the training of a local breeder’s puppies to go to their forever homes or to brief service animal training, house/pet sitting for extended vacations, dropping in for occasional visits as needed, as well as having cared for my own animals since I was young. I look forward to working with you! Your pet’s care will be my first priority as this is my full time commitment for the time that I am there. Contact me day or night and I will be with you as soon as possible. My service to your pet will be above and beyond what is asked of me.

“After meeting with Gwen we felt they were a good fit, and we scheduled nightly check ins/ feedings for our cats for the 10 days we would be visiting family. Gwen has such a pleasant demeanor and always talks to our cats just like we would! We made it clear that our priority is the cats getting love and attention and they consistently played with and loved on our cats. They are great at following instructions and not only made sure our cats were loved and fed but also took care of our many plants, and even tackled the weekly deep clean of our giant litter box! Our cats always seem happy to see Gwen and we got detailed updates and excellent communication throughout our trip. When we had to extend our trip for a couple days, they went above and beyond and accommodated to be able to continue the check-ins for those days. Gwen is a friendly, responsible, attentive person and is a fabulous sitter! We highly recommend their services!”

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Newbury Old Town
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,100 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Newbury Old Town. 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
