About: I grew up with animals. Dogs and cats specifically have always been apart of my life. I am able to keep up with with the youngest peppy puppy or slow down to meet the pace of a senior dog. I am not fazed by much and happy to provide the same love and care that you would give to your animal. I am a freelancer with a very flexible schedule. I have the ability to work with you on potential last minute needs and care for your pets. I am very comfortable caring for animals weather it be a quick check at the home ot in an more outdoor adventure. My goal is to give your animal the care they care they need in the environment that works best for you and them.
“Amber was awesome! She was very responsive, super kind, and our cat, Bodhi, was relaxed and happy when we returned from our vacation. We will definitely be asking her to come again in the future. Thank you for taking such good care of Bodhi, Amber!”
“Lauren is great with our cats, making sure they get their specific dietary needs and lots of play and pets! She is also very communicative about how the cats are doing, which gives my wife and me plenty of peace of mind when we're away.”
“Longfei & Luning took amazing care of Cookie! I received lots of photos and videos and he seemed to have a great time :) He was a little sick during the stay and they promptly took him to the vet which I appreciated a lot. Thank you so much!!”
“Lindsay was the first sitter we booked through Rover, and we absolutely loved her! She's incredibly thoughtful and paid close attention to every detail of care for our three cats, even the most nitpicky instructions I threw at her. She was also super responsive, so I never had to wonder how everyone was doing. She left our home exactly as she found it, which showed how much she cared about keeping the cats in a clean, comfortable environment. Lindsay truly cares about our cats, and that's what you want in a cat sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Helena was great. Agreed to take a last minute holiday weekend booking and was wonderful for my cat. Followed the scheduled checkins, was very detailed in visit notes, took pics and videos, and overall was very kind to my cat.”
About: I have worked as a veterinary assistant for the past three years, gaining experience working with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. As a college student, I find myself missing my two dogs every day and I want to help owners with their pet needs, all while getting my animal fix. I understand how hard it can be for owners to be away from their pets and to trust new people with them. So, my goal is to put both you and your pets at ease in what can seem like a stressful time, and give them plenty of love while you’re gone! I’m a college student with time in my schedule most days to walk or visit with your pets. On weekends I can spend all day caring for your pets! When caring for pets in your home I follow all owner instructions exactly regarding feeding, activities, training, and interaction with other animals. I pay particular attention to any changes in behavior, appetite, or physical activity.
“Holden was an amazing pet sitter for our cat, Maribel! He was very responsive and replied to messages quickly. Maribel was quite shy but he made sure she felt safe, supported and had treats nearby to stay happy! We were so glad to find Holden to take care of our kitty and will surely book with him again and recommend him to anyone in the area with pets! :)”
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!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Newton Center
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!
Hannah is excellent with my black cat, Juniper! She engages with Junie at the level she needs, shifting her play and attention based on my cat’s mood. She always checks food, water and litter and takes good photos with a detailed report. I will be using her again!
Caroline is our go-to pet sitter on Rover. She takes wonderful care of our cats and is always giving us updates with pictures each visit. She makes sure they always have what they need and are given lots of love and attention. We highly recommend Caroline and will surely be going back to her whenever we need a sitter.
Quinn was great with Morris and made me feel totally comfortable leaving him in his care. They were on time and sent updates and pictures. Morris seemed totally relaxed when I got home. I’d definitely recommend Quinn and would happily have him watch Morris again!
Emily was absolutely wonderful! She was able to help me out with a last minute request, and I really appreciated that she took the time to meet with me beforehand so we could make sure everything was a good fit before officially booking. She kept me updated throughout the visit and sent plenty of pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’m so thankful I found Emily, and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Newton Center is $30 per visit as of October 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 .
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 , 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 .

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 , 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.
