“Jenna took great care of our kitties! Even the shy one came out to see her! And she spoiled one of them, bringing his chicken treats up to the bedroom. 🤣 She sent lots of pictures during the week we were away.”

“I was out of the country for 2 weeks and Sam did a wonderful job looking after my sweet boy! I looked forward every night in seeing the many sweet photos she took and felt an enormous amount of relief and comfort knowing my kitty was in such good and caring hands. I will definitely be reaching out to Sam for any future pet sitting needs ♥️”

“Jill was great with our kitties for the week! I told her she was the cat whisperer after one of my cats came out for her who has never come out for anyone, even friends! Her report cards and pictures were great and it was so nice to know everything was taken care of while we were on vacation! She even offered to water our plants.”

“Our usual Rover sitter wasn't available. So we went with Angela D. who is new to Rover as a sitter. She lived nearby so we gave her a try. Angela turned out to be awesome for our feral cat I rescued. He took to her almost immediately. She did all we asked plus more and we returned home to a happy cat. I highly recommend her.”

“Paige is incredible! She is very reliable, flexible, and also very responsive. She is great with my two very shy kitties and has even gotten them to trust her enough to let her pet them (which is not a small feat). I trust her completely with my cats and I am always assured that they will be well cared for. I’ve booked Paige’s services for almost a year now and plan to keep booking her whenever she is available to help.”

About: Hi there! My name is Ellie, and I’m a passionate animal lover with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have pups of my own, so I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your furry family member — and I treat every pet I meet with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. Whether your dog needs a fun walk to burn off energy, a drop-in to check on meals and snuggles, or full-on overnight care, I’ve got you covered. I’m reliable, patient, and fully committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and give them the care they deserve! I currently work full-time during the day, but pet care is truly a passion of mine and a fulfilling part of my daily routine. I’m available for check-ins and walks in the early mornings before work and in the evenings after I get home. In some cases, I’m also able to swing by during my lunch break for a quick visit, depending on location and timing. I also offer overnight stays, which allows me to spend quality, uninterrupted time with your pet — perfect for dogs who need extra comfort or company while you’re away. While my weekday daytime availability is limited, I’m dependable, communicative, and always make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve when I’m with them! When your pet is in my care, their well-being is my top priority. I understand that every animal has their own unique needs, routines, and personalities — and I take the time to get to know them so I can provide care that makes them feel safe, seen, and loved. You can trust that I’ll treat your pet like one of my own, with patience, affection, and respect. I’m mindful, responsible, and always keep safety at the forefront — whether that’s making sure harnesses are secure, sticking to feeding instructions, or giving them their favorite toy at just the right moment. I believe animals know when someone truly cares for them — and I make it my mission to create a peaceful, loving environment where your pet can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

About: Dog mom who loves caring for animals! I have a 5 year old Aussie mix and have used Rover for years for the care of my baby, now that I work hybrid I am taking on my own clients! I have owned and cared for both dogs and cats from small to large breeds. I currently work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays where I have day time flexibility. Available anytime on weekends. I am available on other week nights (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday) after 5pm- please message me directly for those days! I have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs, both leash trained dogs and dogs who may be reactive or need a little extra patience and attention. I’m experienced with dog walking, backyard let outs , feeding, and administering medications as needed. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and needs, and I’ll always treat your pet with the same care and attention I would give my own.

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats solely since I was 11 years old. We got both my cat and dog when they were just babies, and I cared for them into their senior years as well. I administered pills for both, and general young, teen, adult, and senior care. I also grew up watching both cats and dogs for friends and family! Your pet will be in great care of someone who treats them like family 🤍 I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability during the week, so I'm happy to work around your pet's usual routine! I'm available for walks and drop in visits on both weekdays and weekends. While I'm not available for overnight stays or weekend house sitting, I'd be happy to stop by throughout the day to make sure your pets get plenty of care, attention, and company while you're away. I have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and well cared for while you're away! To keep my own cats comfortable and stress free, I provide care in my clients' home rather than bringing pets into my apartment. With that said, I treat your home with the same respect as my own, and I'll always follow your instructions and your pets usual routine. I'm also happy to provide updates so you know how your pet is doing while you're away. Depending on needs, I'm happy to take dogs for walks, let them outside, give them food and fresh water, clean up after them, play and give them company and attention. For cats, I can take care of feeding, fresh water, litter boxes, playtime, and cuddles... or personal space if that's what they prefer 🐾

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! I grew up with cats and have continued to have cats throughout my life, and I’ve also had dogs as an adult. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. Over the years, I’ve cared for the pets of friends, family, and people from my church, including both dogs and cats. I’ve done drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, and general companionship, and I’ve also welcomed dogs into my own home for stays. I understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and give them plenty of love and attention. Whether your pet needs a walk, a quick drop-in, a meal and some company, or just someone to make sure they’re okay while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to care for them! 🐾 I work during the day Monday through Friday, but I have some flexibility around lunchtime for drop-in visits. I’m also available for evening visits and walks after work, as well as weekends. I’ll always do my best to work with your schedule and your pet’s routine! 🐾 I know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and keep their normal routine while their family is away. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll give them plenty of attention and affection while respecting their individual personality and comfort level. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for at home.

Danielle was really enthusiastic and kind, offered to meet me before hand to make sure I was comfortable with the arrangements since this was my first time using Rover, and seemed to really love animals. I felt secure and also was happy to get pictures of my cats through the app during her stay.

Tristen was great with my cat Sheddy. She tends to be on the shy side and doesn’t come out for strangers. Tristen was super patient with her and always managed to get a picture of her. I felt at ease knowing Sheddy was in good hands. I will definitely reschedule with Tristen for my next vacation!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Newington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Newington on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,285 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Newington. 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 Newington. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
