“Krystyna was absolutely wonderful with our two kittens! She was caring, attentive, and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We really appreciated the updates and the care she gave them. We would happily recommend Krystyna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”

I got a photo every day, including where the key was left, and it was great knowing she was doing well while I was away. It made visiting Island stress free!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and have owned and cared for all kinds of animals throughout my life. Dogs and cats are my heart, especially elderly and high energy dogs! I also have a special place for rescue dogs and have a great understanding of their quirks and characteristics. For decades, I’ve been the person friends and family turn to when they need someone they trust to care for their pets. Now, as a stay-at-home mom, I’m excited to open that up to other local families who could use a little extra help with daytime pet care. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, some exercise and attention while you’re at work, or simply some company during the day, I’d love the opportunity to help! My goal is to provide the same loving, dependable care I’d want for my own pets. 🐾❤️ I am a stay at home mom and have recently opened up my daytime availability to be able to help other families in need with fur baby help! I have owned and been around animals entire life, and after recently leaving the medical field and corporate world I completely understand the need for animal care when you are busy at work! My availability would be M-F anytime after 9 and before 2:30 for drop-ins, dog walking, play, etc. I have two large dogs and a large kitty of my own! A typical day looks like spending time with them, brushing them, throwing a ball, going for long walks, and anything that is engaging and fun! I consider myself to have a vast knowledge of animal body language and overall communication. I have trained all of my own dogs - past and present, and we always get compliments on what loving and well behaved animals we have.

About: I’m an experienced dog owner and longtime animal lover! I have hands-on experience fostering puppies, so I’m comfortable with everything from energetic playtime and basic training to keeping a close eye on routines, feeding, and potty breaks. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m happy to accommodate different personalities, energy levels, and routines to make our time together as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Pet care is a very important part of my daily routine, and I always make it a top priority. I currently have a dog and a rescue cat, so I understand the time, attention, and consistency pets need throughout the day. I’m reliable with scheduling and communication, and I’ll make sure your pet receives the care and attention they need while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their home with the same care and respect I would my own. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone with both your pets and your home, so I prioritize safety, following your instructions, and clear communication throughout the entire stay. I’ll keep you updated and make sure your pet’s routine is maintained as closely as possible.

About: I’m a very honest, caring, and reliable person! I love animals. Animals are my world!! I don’t know what I’d do without them. I have loved animals ever since I was a little kid. I have recently been dog walking around my neighborhood after posting on Facebook and then I came across this app! I used to stay in others homes while they went on vacation etc. All day I’m at my nanas feeding the squirrels and birds, I love connecting with wildlife and nature! I am in school at Northern Essex Community College on Mondays and Wednesdays but I am available anytime after 5pm or anytime before 1pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays! I’d love to meet and figure something out. Whatever you would need for your dog or cat just let me know and I can do it. I am able to do many things and follow instructions well!

About: Hello! My name is Jenna. I absolutely love being around dogs and grew up with them my entire life. My first family dog was a yellow Labrador named Lady, and later, a wonderful black Lab mix named Maddie. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I have a lifetime of experience caring for them and plenty of love to give to yours.Because of my active lifestyle, I love spending time outdoors and going on long hikes. I will ensure your dog gets plenty of fresh air, active playtime, and frequent outdoor exercise. I treat every dog with the same kindness and respect I would show a human. In addition to my love for animals, I am a professional schoolteacher who works with young children, which has given me an abundance of patience, care, and reliability. I would be thrilled to treat your dog like a member of the family!

“Kat was amazing! I would ask her to come take care of our cat again in a heartbeat — we got great photos and nice, detailed notes about her visits. She clearly knows how to take care of animals, from the minute she meets them it’s obvious that she’s not only good at it, she genuinely enjoys connecting with them. If you need a sitter or a pet visitor you could not get better care!”

About: I've been around animals my whole life. I grew up with dogs, and these days I'm often the person friends and family call when they need someone to look after their pets. I've spent plenty of time walking dogs, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they're well cared for while their owners are away. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including larger, high-energy breeds. I enjoy getting to know each animal's personality and building trust with them. I've even trained my own cats to do tricks and respond to commands using positive reinforcement. Taking care of animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I take the responsibility seriously because I know how much people's pets mean to them. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to provide walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. Outside of work, taking care of animals has always been a regular part of my life, whether that's spending time with my own pets or helping friends and family with theirs. Because I work a consistent schedule and plan my time carefully, I can be reliable and punctual when it comes to pet care. I enjoy getting outside for walks and spending time with animals, so it's something I genuinely look forward to rather than trying to squeeze into a busy schedule. I try to keep things as close to the pet's normal routine as possible. When I'm caring for a pet in their home, I follow the owner's instructions and make sure they're getting everything they need, whether that's walks, meals, playtime, medications, or just some company while their owner is away. I pay attention to each animal's personality and body language and adjust my approach accordingly. Some pets want lots of attention and activity, while others are happier with a quieter approach and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with both. Safety is always important to me. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I keep an eye out for anything that seems out of the ordinary. My goal is to make sure pets are comfortable, well cared for, and as stress-free as possible while their owners are away. I make sure that I'm always available, and communication is a huge priority for me

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Newton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Newton on Rover is $24.61 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 8,420 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
  • 94% 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.
