“Karlee was a wonderful sitter for our cat Bobbie. She cared for our kitty as if she was her own, and kept in touch throughout the week, even alerting us to the landscapers in our back yard. We have already booked Karlee for the next time we are away!”

About: I helped care for the pets in my home starting as a young child. I would walk, feed and play with my pets as well as potty training. I also spent one year working for a dog walking/pet sitting service before my children were born. Now that my children are older, I would love to care for other pets in their home and provide walks for dogs while their parents are away. I have pets and children in my home and am available for dog walking/drop in care most mornings and early afternoons during the week. I can also provide house sitting on weekday and weekend nights. I am happy to provide feeding, play, exercise, pottying, and overnight company to pets when their parents are away. Litter box cleaning and other light house cleaning can be provided as well.
“Olivia did a great job providing cat care for our five furry children. She gave medication to three of them and spent extra time working to get know each one. We would definitely hire Olivia again and highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have been involved in their daily care including feeding, walking, and playtime. As a former college athlete, I’m very active and dependable, and would love to take your dog on walks and runs. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and will take care of your pet like it’s my own. I also have experience with off leash training! I recently graduated college and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily prioritize your pet’s needs. As a former college athlete, I’m used to maintaining a consistent routine and being dependable. I’m available throughout the day and can adapt to your pet’s specific schedule. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets. I do not currently have any pets, so your dog will have my full attention. I have a large backyard and plenty of indoor space for dogs to play and relax. I live in a quiet, residential area that is great for walks, and I always prioritize safety, supervision, and your pet’s comfort.
“Melissa was fantastic. She came by for a meet and great to get all the instructions of our animals who are a little "exta". My dog loved her. He was texting me our whole trip how nice Melissa was. High suggested !”


About: I am training my own dog as a psychiatric service animal and have learned much going through this process. I am not a licensed trainer, but I do have experience in that area, which I enthusiastically bring to each walk. I'm flexible with scheduling and do my best to make things as simple and convenient as possible even if that means scheduling outside of my availability schedule when possible. Additionally, if I have any upcoming dates that I am unavailable this will be communicated well in advance. Availability schedule: Monday= 8am-10am Tuesday= 8am-6pm Wednesday= 8am-6pm Thursdays= 8am-11am (craft fair season), 8am-6pm (rest of year) F= 8am-10am Sat= 2pm-6pm (craft fair season), 8am-6pm (rest of year) My general motto is always leave the space looking better upon leaving then when you first arrived. This applies to animals too. Always leave a pet happier, more content, calmer, etc. after being with them. Have multiple pets? No problem. The more the merrier.
About: I am specialized in training all types of dogs! I make sure that the dog is taken care of and is having a blast while the parents are gone! I am very outgoing, active, and good at communicating. I currently work part time as a server so I am available whenever just may have to step away for a couple hours to waitress. I have tons of grass area at my house, and have a ton of room as well for the dog to move around and play when needed!

“Our normally well-behaved dogs decided to ransack their room while we were gone for an afternoon. Upon her arrival at our house, not only did Amanda straighten up their mess but she also fed them, spent plenty of time with them outside, sent me pics of her visit, and even left them treats for Christmas. Would highly recommend Amanda to anyone seeking a reliable, trustworthy pet sitter who goes the extra mile for her clients.”
About: I have taken care of multiple friends pets for days , if not weeks straight. I've worked at multiple shelters helping out with dog walking and cleaning , and I've also volunteered at functions to raise funds for shelters. The joke is with my faculty I am the resident dog guru. I am a teacher so i'm able to do very early walks starting at 5:30am. I have to be at work by 7:30 am. I am done with school by 4:30, except January- March when I have to be back to director musical practice. If you need someone to how sit your pet. I guarantee that I will try my best to be at the house and not running errands, except to go to work. I'm a big believer in if I'm taking care of an animal in their own home that I need to be at that house as long as I possibly can because that pet deserves the companionship and the freedom to be let out to play. I love taking long walks.I enjoy nature and so taking longer walks with animals does not bother me.
About: I love all animals. I have taken care of my family, friends, and my own pets for years. I am a huge believer in play and fun. I assist pets with a more active lifestyle with love. I am reliable and will treat your pet as my own. I too have been on extended trips and felt the worry associated with being gone. I understand how to calm pets and make the experience positive for all involved. I am an effective communicator and will give updates for piece of mind. I have had behavioral training. I hope to be your regular and become a true friend/ helper for your pet reducing all anxiety and offering a wonderful experience for your beloved pet. Good care and vibes only.
About: I owned a dog for over a decade, and babysat dogs/ cats many times. I worked with animals at a zoo so I’m good at reading them and respecting their boundaries! I work second shift (3-11pm) M-F so check ins would work best for those days. I can still dog/cat sit during the weekdays if you’re are okay with your pets being alone for a full shift, or being watched by my parents (while pets are boarded at our house). My weekends are completely open! I have a large backyard and tennis court. I also live near a very nice bike trail for long walks. I have no other animals in the house. I have ramps for small/old dogs.
“Kenze is amazing! Her updates and photos were perfect and set our minds at ease the first time we left Loki, our cat. Loki enjoyed playtime every day with her. I highly recommend Kenze!”

“Bethany was great ant accommodating all my needs and requests. My normally shy cat made a great connection and enjoying everytime she came over. Would 100% recommend Bethany to anyone with pet sitting needs.”

“Anne was wonderful with my cat, Lia. My cat seemed to enjoy the visits and extra attention. Anne was also great with communication and sending photos of what Lia was up to. Will definitely reach out to Anne in the future when needed!”

“Brittany did a fantastic job with my crew of 4 dogs!! They loved her. She gave updates after each visit and was very quick on her response. I will absolutely reach out to her again to care for my fur babies. Thank you Brittany!!!”


“Shelby is great! Second booking, just as nice of an experience. We were able to relax and enjoy time with the family, knowing we have a reliable person to take care of our pups, and we didn't have to rush back home, as we usually do. She has a special place in heart for animals and it shows.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old and many different types of dogs.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a teenager. I've fed them, given them the necessary medication, gave them baths, play with them and of course love them. I'm currently working a part time job, the days I work are random. Thursdays and Fridays I have off but any day off I can communicate with the pet owner to pet sit on those days as well :) My cat remains an indoor cat for safety reasons. I want to ensure he is safe from any danger presented in the outside world there is.
About: I have grown up with several felines and canines my entire life. I have been responsible for their care for several years, including several animals in their older years. I possess a quite relaxed personality, which is beneficially picked up by most animals. I am also capable of providing necessary exercise for animals of an increased energetic disposition. Dog walks can be taken at a leisurely pace, or one more accelerated, depending on dog's needs. I am looking to supplement my current income, as well as enjoy the company of more cats and dogs. My current job offers flexible hours, so I am available most hours during the afternoon to night for necessary care needs (walks, feeding, letting out,vet appointments). I look forward to satisfying your pets needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 175 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.

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.
