“Jordan was truly wonderful! She took excellent care of our kitty and we completely trusted her with a complicated feeding schedule. She also went above and beyond keeping our home and the food area clean and tidy. Would highly recommend!”
“Christie was an angel with my temperamental cat. She took the time to get to know him and find the best ways to approach him and make him feel safe. I am endlessly grateful for the amazing care she provided while I was away!”
About: I’ve worked as a vet assistant for the past two years, so I have lots of experience taking care of dogs and cats of all personalities, breeds, and needs. I’ve had animals since I could walk, from fish to turtles, to bunnies to hamsters, and dogs. I have two rescue dogs aged 13 and 10, and I’ve petsat all of my friends’ dogs since I was 7, including puppies. LOOKING FOR NEW CLIENTS‼️I’m a full time student, so I’m very flexible on weekends and early mornings on Monday, Wednesday and Friday! I can also do afternoons on most days of the week! Just let me know what you need 😁 I have lots of experience catering to the needs of all dogs and cats from my clinic work, and I consider myself and very patient and understanding person. Just tell me what your pet needs and I’ll always accommodate!
“Lindsey has watched my two kitties twice and she’s so great. Amazing communication, she’s thoughtful, and truly cares about the cat’s wellbeing! I’d highly recommend her and hope she continues to work on Rover for a long time so my kitties get such great care any time I go away. Thanks Lindsey!”
“Meghan was amazing with our cat! She was very attentive and our cat felt so comfortable around her. She went above and beyond to send detailed updates and tons of pictures. I highly recommend Meghan to care for your fur babies!!”
“Maanya took great care of our cat! She made sure he was comfortable around her and he warmed up to her quickly. She also promptly responded to all my messages and requests. I highly recommend her!”
“Longfei and Luning were absolutely amazing with Carl! From the moment I left, they made me feel completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and attentive hands. They spent time playing with him, giving him attention, and making sure he felt comfortable and happy while I was away from home. It was clear they genuinely cared about him and treated him like their own. I really appreciated the updates and the extra effort they put into making the experience stress-free for both Carl and me. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, kind, and thoughtful pet care!”
“Megan is awesome!! She’s done drop in visits for my cats in a few occasions and is super attentive. She really goes above and beyond to make sure they are well cared for while I’m away!! Definitely recommend booking with her!”
About: I’ve grown up in a household with pets all my life. We even had 4 dogs and 6 cats at one point! I was always around and there to take care of the animals, play with them, and show them love. I can never not be around animals, and I always love making a new fur friend! I work from home, so love going on early morning, lunch time, and evening walks! I can also work from anyway, so am super flexible to come hang around with your pet and spend some time with them whenever. I’ll always keep my attention on your pet and make sure I’m watching them as if they’re my own. Safety is my top priority and always want you to feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands!
“Lulu took amazing care of our cat and provided detailed updates after each visit along with pictures and videos while feeding, giving insulin injections, cleaning up after, and spending time with Callie. We look forward to booking with her again!”
About: Hi! My name is Abby and I’m so excited to meet your pets. I grew up with big dogs (German Shepherds, Pitbulls), as well as quite a few cats, including ones with medical needs. My sister and I currently have 3 cats, but I still LOVE dogs and always go hang out with my parents dogs when I can. I have experience overnight sitting dogs, and drop ins for cats and am excited for even more experience! I am working full time, but am happy to check in before work and definitely for a while after work. I can also check in during the weekend. In my home, I have three cats but am happy to separate if needed. My cats love to play and sleep! In others houses, I pay close attention to routines, and i want to make sure that your animal feels as though their routine is not disrupted. And that they feel loved and taken care of!
About: As much as I love playing with puppies I have a fondness for senior dogs. I have spent more time caring for senior dogs and enjoy being around them. I worked nights and was always available for vet appointments. My dog Nicholas went to aquatherapy often and my Pug did acupuncture. I have cared for dogs needing meds, diaper changes, extra lifts, & short walks that required a long time. I often had dogs that needed fresh or homemade food and lots of treats & love. Being retired I am often home working on projects. I also am fortunate to have friends all over the country. I go to their homes and care for their pets while they vacation. I currently have no pets. I live 50ft to the paths along the Charles River. It is a great place to walk dogs. We come upon small wildlife, other dogs and lots of joggers. Some dogs still get excited need some training and treats. I have spent hours out there sitting with pets.

Sue is a wonderful pet sitter! Sue has been looking after our cat, Sasha, for several years now. Sue is pleasant and professional. She is very flexible with her availability and is great at communicating. She always sends an update and photos after every check in. We plan to continue to use her services for as long as she is offering them and would definitely recommend her to other pet owners.
Lindsey took wonderful care of my soul kitty while I was away for 4 days. She sent pictures showing the progression of my babe warming up to her & even letting her hold & snuggle! My kitty does not warm up to everyone so it was very nice to know how safe & comforted she was the whole time I was away! Thank you again!
This was our first time with Kevin, and we had a great experience! He was very responsible and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout the visit. It was so nice to see how our cat was doing, and we felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. We really appreciated the communication and care, and we would definitely reach out to him again next time we need a cat sitter. Highly recommend!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Newton Center is $30 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $42 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.

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.

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.
