“My dog is loved and cared for by Charles and Teresa. We really enjoy the pictures they send and the wonderful and detailed descriptions of their visits. We highly recommend Charles and Teresa without hesitation!”
“Took good care of the cats during drop in visits. I wasn't worried at all while I was away, because Janine sent pictures each visit. Things were well cleaned. Definitely recommend!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Linda and the care my cats received while I was away for five days. From the moment I left, I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such kind, capable hands. Linda went above and beyond to make sure my cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She kept me updated, followed all instructions perfectly, and showed genuine love and patience with my cats, which means everything to me. I came home to calm, content pets and a clean, well-kept space—clear signs of exceptional care. I am so grateful for Linda’s help and would absolutely trust her again without hesitation. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like her own.”
“We really enjoyed meeting Laura and are so grateful that she could come and help us out. She was friendly and engaging and we knew our pup was in very safe hands. We really enjoyed receiving the photos and updates about their time and would definitely use her again.”

Fear-Free Certified and Positive Reinforcement Based Training Training Approach: Walk & Train Combo Real-world training integrated into structured walks, practicing focus and calmness in everyday environments. Basic Obedience: Sit, stay, leash walking, recall, and focus work to strengthen listening skills and communication. Puppy Training & Socialization: Building confidence, proper play, and foundational manners to set your puppy up for lifelong success. Behavior Modification: Helping dogs manage fear, reactivity, or resource guarding through patience, gentle guidance, and Fear Free methods. Each session is personalized to meet your dog where they are—celebrating progress and supporting long-term success through compassion, structure, and consistency. I am free most days of the week as I usually work the late shift for my other job. I should have plenty of availability! I have a very friendly dog that I can bring around yours if you are comfortable and want your dog to have a friend! If your pup prefers to be alone then I am more than happy to give that one on one time!
“Samantha did a great job caring for our cat for a long weekend away. She was very communicative and brought in our paper, trash & recycle bins (and removed a dead mouse surprise that kitty left 😲). We would definitely use her again.”
About: I grew up with cats and medium and large dogs (along with other smaller critters), regularly took care of neighborhood dogs (overnight stays and walks), and I still take care of my parent’s 95 lb dog and cat when they’re out of town. I travel occasionally for work and personal reasons so haven’t yet committed to having my own pet (yet!). I love having a dog companion on my regular walks/hikes. I have a hybrid work arrangement where I’m part time in the office in Newburyport and part time at home in Amesbury. My schedule varies based on work/personal travel schedule and can be pretty flexible depending on the day when I’m at home. I’m happy to take dogs for walks near your home as needed (as short or as long of a walk as you’d like) and also happy to stay overnight to take care of pets.
“10/10 recommend! Laney dropped in fed and played with my cats she even got my shy cat to play too. She sent photos daily and I felt so comfortable with her as a sitter. I will definitely be booking again! ❤️”
“Nicole is absolutely wonderful! The regular updates, adorable photos, and thoughtful gestures put our minds at ease while we were away. We returned home to three happy fur babies, thanks to the exceptional care. She was very patient with them as two were rescues and can be very reactive but they were comfortable with her by the end of the visit. We definitely recommend Nicole to anyone seeking trustworthy, loving dog care!”
“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life as I’ve always had a dog growing up. Ive cared for older dogs as well as two puppies. My family has relied on me to help feed, walk, and play with our dogs every day and I’d be happy to do it for anyone in need. I’m currently working full time from 3-11:30pm about 4-5 days a week, so I’m free most mornings and early afternoons before 2pm to help walk, feed, or play with animals. On days or weekends I have off, I can care for pets anytime of the day. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs, one can be sensitive to some dogs but usually gets along with most dogs. I feed them breakfast and dinner, and take them on walks daily.
“Madison took loving and meticulous care of my cat while I was away. She communicated very consistently and had great follow up. The pictures and details she sent were so good they it possible for us to relax knowing our kitty was in good hands.”

Corinne was great with Saturn and took excellent care of her while we were away! She was reliable, communicative, and sent updates and photos with each visit, which gave us peace of mind. Saturn can be shy with new people, and Corinne was patient and understanding with her. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty. I’d definitely recommend Corinne and would be happy to book with her again!
Janine was available for a last minute request to care for our cat. She hasn’t provided care for him before but figured out his autofeeder and was even able to snap some photos of Tex. He’s very shy but I know was happy to have her check on him. As always she provided outstanding and reliable care ❤️
We just moved here last week and were gone over Christmas so we had to find someone reliable to take care of our cat, Pancakes, on very short notice. Laney was extremely reliable, communicative, and helped relieve an area of stress for us over this holiday season. We will definitely continue to use her for cat care and also to take care of our pup in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Newburyport on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,832 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Newburyport. 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 Newburyport. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
