“Julia showed up twice a day, dealt well with slightly tricky feeding instructions, was communicative and sent lots of pictures of the cats, who looked very happy to have her around (the last of these being the best measure)”
About: As a passionate cat owner for over two decades and a frequent sitter for our daughter's dog I have lots of experience caring for and loving our furry companions. When we visit family and friends that have dogs, I'm the one sitting on the floor rubbing bellies while everyone else sits on the furniture. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and spending time caring for and bonding with them. After decades of a successful career in the software engineering field and a recent closure of my office, I'm embracing the unplanned change as a chance to get away from a desk. This leaves me with an open schedule and the flexibility to care for your 4 legged family members at any time you need. As the owner of 2 cats that have specific dietary and medicinal requirements, I understand that each client's pets can have unique needs that must be met. I will ensure that these needs are addressed accurately and consistently. I find great joy in bonding with animals and look forward to gaining their trust and companionship at the pace that they find comfortable. There is nothing more rewarding than an animal that is excited to see and spend time with you. My goal in turn is to ensure their owners trust me as well and can feel at ease while they are away from their precious family members.
“We had a wonderful experience with our cat sitter! She was reliable, caring, and attentive to our cat’s needs. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our cat was in such good hands while we were away. We really appreciated the care and attention she provided and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Marion really made our cat Sammy comfortable to be with her. She took very good care of him ensuring he was fed, clean water, treats and lots of love and attention. We would highly recommend Marion!”
“Gracie is a true animal lover and it shows upon meeting her. I was nervous to try out Rover for the first time for my senior cat. Meeting Gracie calmed all my nerves - it was so clear she loves and respects all animals. She was prompt on each visit, took care of all my cat’s needs, and even brought him toys. I will surely check to see if Gracie is available anytime I need to be out of town for care of my boy.”
“Michela was great. I really appreciated the daily check-in with updates and photos. I think my cat loved her too. First time using a Rover pet sitter and will book again after such a positive experience.”
“Nicole was terrific! She did a great job getting our older & very shy cat to take her medicine and overall took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. It was great to know that they were in such good hands and we would definitely ask Nicole to sit for us again.”
“Erica was very accommodating and even came to meet my kitties before I left for a long trip. She was sure to take pictures at each visit so I knew my babies were happy! I felt they were well cared for in her hands :)”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I’m mainly experienced in caring for cats and dogs, but also farm animals and smaller pets like gerbils. I’m hoping to make this a full time job as I love being with animals. My schedule is wide open to meet all your pets needs. My spacious home is in a quiet suburban neighborhood with an open field just down the road. I have 2 friendly cats, however visiting pets could be separated as needed.
About: I'm an experienced house and pet sitter with 30+ 5-star completed sits along the East Coast through TrustedHousesitters and personal referrals. I'm now offering my services through Rover in the Portsmouth area and 25-mile radius. I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, including senior pets, animals with anxiety or trauma histories, and pets with special needs. I'm comfortable administering medications and following detailed care routines. What you can expect: I learn each animal's routine rather than applying one approach to every pet. I send daily photo updates. I'm naturally tidy and leave homes clean and calm, and I'm glad to look after plants or a garden while I'm there. A few practical notes, so we can both tell early whether it's a good fit: 1. Meet & greet before every first booking. I require a video call or an in-person visit so we can both assess fit. You get to meet me and ask whatever you need to; I get to meet your pet and see the space. Until we've had that conversation, please treat my response as interest rather than a confirmed booking, and keep your other options open. I won't accept a booking before a meet and greet for house sitting. 2. Weekday availability. I see clients on video Monday through Friday, 10a–4p. I'm in the home the whole time, so your pets get frequent short breaks and company throughout the day, but I'm not available for walks or errands during those hours. I am able to support potty breaks during the 12:00-1:00pm hour. 3. Workspace. I need a desk or table at standard height with a supportive chair in a room with a door that closes, plus wifi that reliably holds a video call. I bring my own laptop, monitor, and stand, so I only need the surface and the space. 4. Pets I care for. Calm adult dogs and cats. I'm not currently accepting puppies under a year, and I'd want to talk first about dogs with a bite history, special medical needs, or significant reactivity. 5. Service area. Based in the Portsmouth/Eliot area; I generally take bookings within about 25 miles. 6. Notice. At least two days for new clients, and more when possible for longer stays. Tell me about your pet — their routines, quirks, and what makes them feel safest. I'd love to hear it! I work from home with structured hours, which allows me to be available for walks, feeding, medication schedules, playtime, and companionship at certain times of the day, roughly every 3-4 hours. My approach is calm and intentional. I honor your pet’s established rhythm and do my best to create a grounded environment that feels like home. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is to maintain a sense of safety, routine, and calm. I take time to learn your pet’s unique routines, preferences, and personality so I can offer care that feels familiar. In the home, I’m quiet, clean, and respectful of your space. I aim to leave things just as I found them—or better. I water plants, bring in mail, manage light tidying, and keep things running smoothly so you can return home with ease. I also provide thoughtful updates with photos and check-ins, so you feel connected while away.
“Liliana and Abraham did great job in visiting our cat twice a day at our house when we were abroad for 11 days. Angel loved them, got attached to them very fast and was happy with them coming to take care of her and play with her. They also brought some toys of their own to play with her and helped with getting in some packages and mail. Would definitely work with them again!”
“Anna is a delight of a pet sitter. She is responsible, reliable, and easy to communicate with. Our three cats, even the timid, skittish one, clearly felt very comfortable with her, as shown in the adorable close-up photos she sent. I would highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a gentle and compassionate caretaker for their pets.”
About: I offer animal communication readings for you and your pet. You simply ask your pet questions and I relay their answers! I have been a psychic for 13 years. I work for myself so I can create my own schedule. I do my animal communication calls over zoom and am pretty flexible in terms of days/times. I can do readings for any type of animal. Clients freaking love getting readings to feel closer to their pets! I care for pets by making sure they are seen and understood. Have you ever had a sitter that could actually talk to your pet? It's a game changer!
“This was the second time Barbara dropped in to watch my cat, and she did a great job! I really appreciate how communicative she is, and I always feel comfortable knowing she is there!”
About: Unable to have pets of my own, I love taking care of others! I love cat sitting - although I am a dog lover from the start. I love learning each pet’s distinct personality, the ways they play, nonverbal messaging and patterns. I am comfortable giving medications - having had a cat that lived well into her 20s, as well as kitten care. I love dogs, especially walks, play time and petting! I am a vetted and trusted house sitter in Portsmouth. For cats, I typically do a morning feed and play time, lunch time check in for play, brushing or just presence and an evening hang out - food, litter box, play time and cuddle time. When I have time off I like to spend it with the animals. I can come to you and will treat your home better than my own - more like I am looking for a five-star airbnb review. I am quiet and mostly want to spend time with your pet and read.
“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!”
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: I am a huge animal lover. I have raised six chickens and loved them like family. At the Pumpkin Wall Farm in Derry, I volunteer with rescued barn animals. I am more than welcome to keep your cat, teacup dog, or small animal company while you are away. Your little ones will be fed, played with, and cuddled. While I don’t specialize in grooming or medical administration yet, I am excited to learn and follow any procedures your pet requires. My schedule is astonishingly flexible. If you need someone at the last minute, I am here for a quick drop-in. I am available Monday through Friday. Note: My availability varies around Sundays and major holidays. Your cuddle-buddies will always be kept in a clean, safe, and enriching environment with me. Litter boxes and food stations will be kept pristine throughout the day. Places where your pet can easily get lost will be checked such as: cabinets, closets, tight spaces and wires. Pets are leashed and supervised on our fun outdoor trips.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Newfields is $25
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Newfields
I really appreciate the daily updates with text and pics. Luna seems comfortable with Michela and I know she loves all the petting and brushing she gets. I don't worry as much as I did with boarding. I know Luna is in familiar surroundings and getting special care once a day. Thank you Michela!
Julia watched our two Maine Coon brothers Marco & Polo for an extended 4 day weekend away. I could tell right away from our meet & greet that our boys took to her immediately and would be excited and happy to see her during her drop-ins. Our boys are friendly already, but even the more aloof and cautions brother, who generally takes a little time to warm up to new faces, treated her as family from day one. She provided check-in and out notifications and detailed status reports - including lots of pictures - of each visit. These are exactly what a caring pet parent wants to see, not only to know your babies are in good hands, but to take the edge off of missing them while you're away :) One of our boys takes medications, and they both need fiber & water added to their diet, so the feeding routine is slightly more complicated than is typical, and Julia had all of their needs met. She responds to any questions/comments immediately. I can't recommend Julia enough for your own babies, and any time we need services in the future, Julia will absolutely be the one we trust to keep our boys happy and healthy.
Jenna was an amazing sitter while I was out of town. She was so kind and patient with my shy girl Olive. She kept me updated everyday and made sure Olive’s water fountain was always full and that her litter was clean. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter!
Courtney was a wonderful sitter! I have an old cat who needs some special care, and Courtney was patient and attentive. She sent regular updates and I could tell from the pictures that my cat was happy to see her. Don't hesitate to book with Courtney if you are looking for a great sitter!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Newfields is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $44 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newfields. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
