“Ari is fantastic and took such good care of our kitties while we were away! Especially our senior kitty that needed a lot of daily pills. I really appreciated Ari’s thorough communication and picture updates. It was a great relief knowing our babies were well cared for!”
“Carol did an incredible job looking after our cat while we were away. Carol was easy to communicate with and left detailed messages and pictures, letting us know exactly how things were going. Carol took her time and our cat appeared to be very happy as a result! We will absolutely be booking with Carol for all our animal sitting needs going forward!”
“Claudia is an amazing pet sitter. She's incredibly considerate of our skittish kitty. Giving her plenty of time and space to get comfortable. Thanks to her, Smokie, our adult cat, is in wonderful hands when we're away. Can't recommend her enough!”
“Peaches, my little old Yorkie, took to Jess immediately and they enjoyed a nice walk in the neighborhood. I appreciated her promptness in arriving on time, and her photo that she took of Peaches. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica was great! Booked a drop-in with short notice. She was responsive, flexible, and showed a care and understanding for my pooch's well-being as well as any concerns I had”
“Great cat sitter. Nadine was highly reliable and was able to care for our elderly cat. She made it a breeze to train her on the cat's med schedule and quirky nature. Highly recommend.”
About: As a god owner myself I understand what it takes to have a happy, content and healthy pet. Trusted care tailored to every pet’s needs. I am currently working part time and available some days during the week as well as on most of weekends. Happy to do drop ins. I provide loving, attractive care, following routines, administrating medications, and ensuring pets feel safe, happy and comfortable.I treat every pet with patience, love and respect.
“Alyssa was amazing for my dog and me. Highly recommend. I had a last minute business trip and she was able to drop in to save the evening and walk Louie while I was out of town. And it was her first walk with us. She knew just what to ask during the meet and greet and then again right before the walk to make it be a success for her, me and most importantly Louie! Thx!!!!”
“Kay is a great cat sitter! She comes on time, shows our Ted plenty of love, and sends us detailed updates along with pictures. She is also super responsive to messages. Would definitely use her services again!”
“Maria was amazing! Murphy is anxious around new people so can sometimes be difficult but she was patient with him - exactly what he needs! She was on time and made sure to send me pictures of Muprhy on their walk. So nice to have someone be able to let Murphy out and know he’s being well taken care of!”
“Angelica is a wonderful pet sitter, she is very friendly and responsive. She took good care of my cat and did everything that I requested and more. My cat loved her, and I had a worry-free trip knowing that my cat is in good hands. I will definitely book her again in the future and recommend her to my friends and family! Thank you Angelica!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newton
Sue was really excellent with my 2 kitty’s! I took a week vacation out of the country and Sue did such a great job watching my cats and it really set my mind at ease. They both have different needs and Sue took the time to make sure they each had what they needed! She even won over my shy cat which is not an easy task! Highly recommend!
Bryana is the best! I loved getting the Rover Cards and photos while I was away and seeing how happy Kira was with her new pal! It was also a relief knowing that Bryana was giving Kira her medicine (followed by a treat!) each day! Highly recommend Bryana and look forward to booking her again for my next trip!
Lauren filled in for me pretty last minute for a week of pet sitting my cat, and I am forever grateful she did! She did an excellent job keeping me informed and enticing my cat downstairs with treats. Thank you so much, Lauren, and I hope we can work together again!!
Taylor did a fantastic job doing drop in visits for our three cats over a holiday weekend. She handled food, litter, and medicine as we requested and gave us super thorough updates and cute photos! Made our travel so much easier to know our cats were in good hands :)
I’ve booked with Avery multiple times and she has always been great to work with! I had some last minute changes to my work travel, and she was able to extend the booking. She always sits with my kitties for a bit and gives them some company while I’m away, which I love! Highly recommend
Angelica was totally great with my very sensitive pup who was anxious due to a recent move. She came by to meet us first then was very detailed and caring in all her visits and gave thorough accounts. My dog became much calmer. I will hire her again and highly recommend Angelica.
This was our first time with Alex and he did a great job with our two older cats. Alex carefully followed our feeding and medication instructions, putting us at ease knowing our two cats were well taken care off while we were away. Alex is prompt, diligent and very detail-oriented. We enjoyed getting to know him and are confident we can count on him again in the future!
Our sitter responded right away and we had the meet and greet a couple weeks later. It all went very well - she had to call me because of a question with the house lock and I appreciated the call. Sandra was great, loves cats and even my shy cat came out and greeted her.
We are thrilled we found Alyssa! It's clear she puts a lot of care into pet sitting. She put us at ease while we were on vacation for a week. She took care of our cat, played with her and gave her food. She communicated the appropriate amount and even took care of our cat's throw up. We appreciated the daily reports and photos. We will definitely book her again. :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Newton on Rover is $22.2 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 11,095 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Newton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Newton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newton. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
