About: Most of my experience comes from house/pet sitting in the past in addition to caring for my own pets over the years. My personal experience is with my cats at home and the family dog. In addition to pet sitting, in the past, I have provided daily walks as well as daily visits. I briefly worked at an animal shelter where I administered medication to the cats. I have worked with senior dogs and puppies as well as cats. Now that my children are older I would like to take my skills and use them by providing daily visits and/or walks during the week to generate a side income. Pet care is already a natural part of my day. My own dog keeps me on a regular schedule of walks, feeding, and playtime, so caring for animals is something I do every day rather than something I fit in. I keep my schedule flexible so I can give each pet I watch the time and attention they need, whether that’s a midday walk, a regular feeding routine, or extra time for play and company When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow the specific guidelines their owner has given me, and I treat them the way I’d want someone to treat my own pets or children. It’s important to me that my work is more than a transaction and that everyone feels comfortable and safe.

About: Hi! I’m Kaitlyn, an animal lover who would love to help care for your pets while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, goats, chickens and other animals. I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, personalities, and needs. I’m looking to do pet sitting and dog walking as a flexible way to earn some extra income while doing something I actually enjoy. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. ❤️ I’m happy to provide walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶🐱🐓🐐🐾 I’m currently a college student and pet care taking fits perfectly into my schedule. Pets care allows me to have a part time job that I love! I always follow the owners instructions when it comes to walks, feedings, and medications. Before I leave, I make sure I tidy up your pets living space.

About: I've been around cats and dogs since I was a kid, and right now, I've got my own cat and a cute rabbit. Honestly, animals are my life – I adore them. Whenever my friends need a hand with dog-sitting, I'm the go-to person. Making sure these furballs are happy and safe is like a hobby to me. So, I'm super excited to bring my pet care vibes to Rover and give every pet the TLC they deserve. 🐾 I currently work from home full time and I can usually drop in between meetings. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays are my busiest work days so it may be harder to get there in the afternoon. When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize their safety by pet-proofing my space and maintaining a clean, hazard-free environment. I build trust through regular interaction, playtime, and clear communication with pet owners. In a client's home, I adapt to the pet's routine and surroundings, ensuring safety, cleanliness, and adherence to their schedule. Trust is established by following care instructions, engaging in activities the pet enjoys, and providing consistent updates to the owner. My goal is to create a secure and comfortable environment, whether in my home or theirs, that promotes the well-being of the pets and peace of mind for their owners.

About: I’ve taken care of all sized dogs since I can remember. Friends and family usually have relied on me to walk, feed, and love their pets. A typical day/overnight consists of a lot of attention/play time, outside walks and potty breaks, and making sure meals are eaten. I have a very open schedule and flexible schedule. I am looking to take care of your pet and give them my full attention in order for you to feel they are safe. While taking care of your pet, I like to give updates with photos so you know your pet is being taken care of! Having your pet in my home I will make sure they are comfortable, safe, and watched over.

About: Hiya, I'm Jackson! I've always loved dogs and cats, and enjoy providing a kind and gentle environment for them. And if I'm lucky, a playful one! I would be honored to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family is well taken care of. I am more than comfortable with dog walking and housesitting to accommodate both yours and your pet's needs. I have experience with large breeds like German Shepherds, and medium ones like Huskies and Pittbulls. My schedule is quite flexible, as I currently work from home. I also have my own car for transportation, so fitting into your schedule is made easier. I treat each pet with kindness and compassion. They are just as important as any other member of the household to me. They bring so much joy and peace to our lives I couldn't imagine treating them any other way.

“Jade is AMAZING! Me and my Diggy are so happy we found such a kind and funny soul. She was very communicative while I was away but most importantly loving and caring towards my baby. He’s been sick the last few months so she helped give his medicine which is not easy. She sent me countless pictures and funny videos that gave me relief while I was on holiday 💚”

About: Was responsible for many cats and dogs when I was growing up. Currently have a fur baby name Genevieve and she’s a calico. She is roughly two years old. Pet care is something I naturally incorporate into my daily routine. I make time to ensure pets are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and receive lots of love and attention. I understand that every animal has its own personality, needs, and routine, so I do my best to maintain their usual schedules and make them feel comfortable and safe. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to make pet care a priority in my schedule. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I’m happy to care for pets in either my home or their own home, depending on what works best for them and their owner. I know pets can feel more comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I’m always mindful of their routines, feeding schedules, and little quirks. In a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, get plenty of attention, and stick to their usual routine. If they’re staying with me, I make sure they have a clean, comfortable space where they can relax and feel at home. Whether we’re going on walks, playing, cuddling, or just hanging out, I want every pet to feel loved and cared for while their owner is away!

About: I’ve cared for Great Danes, doodles, labs, hounds, puppies, kittens, cats, turtles and gerbils and everything in between my entire life. Your pet is in the best possible hands! I work from home in a very dog and cat friendly building with amazing walking paths and dog parks in very short distance. I love the outdoors and it would be my pleasure to take your furry one out for frequent walks, runs and play time. I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule and it’s the perfect environment for your fluffy cat. If you prefer your pet to stay at home, I’m happy to come and offer my attention there as well! I offer a safe, calm, loving environment where your pet can cuddle on the sofa or play tug of war with their stuffy. I have had dogs my entire life, puppies to seniors and have cat sat for my bestie for 10 years for her two cats as she traveled extensively. I can manage medications (including insulin shots for dogs and cats), special diets, frequent walks, a clean, neat environment (I have a small dog of my own that I share with my ex so could either look after your pet with or without her, depending on your comfort level). Your fur baby can roam free in my two bedroom apartment and I love cuddles on the couch and sleeping in the bed with me without a problem!

Allison was so great with my very shy kitty! My Sophie warmed right up to her. Allison is a cat whisperer and will be my go-to for my cat and my dog in the future. She is also super sweet and communicates well. Thank you for taking care of my girl!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Newton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Newton is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $31 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.

As of November 2026, there are 253 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Newton. 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 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 Newton. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
