Truly one of the best pet sitters around. Sue cares for your animal is if they are her own. She is timely with updates and sends lots of photos. Would definitely contact Sue again to care for Kiwi!

Carol was wonderful! We were nervous about leaving Izzi during an unexpected heatwave, but Carol took amazing care of her and made sure she was safe and comfortable the whole time. Excellent and reliable communication throughout. We came back to a clean home and happy Izzi. Highly recommend!

Melissa is terrific! Our dog can be tricky sometimes and my partner and I were originally worried about leaving her with someone else while we were away. Melissa totally assuaged our concerns and multiple times we said to each other “we picked the right person!” Melissa regularly communicated updates and made sure our pup had everything she needed while we were gone. At one point, she let us know that Noodle had an upset stomach. Not only did she give us all the details we asked for and do everything we said Noodle needed, she stayed with our pup for a while to make sure she was feeling better! It was very reassuring to know someone was there caring for our dog just as we would have. I cannot recommend Melissa more! You and your pup will both love her.

Alexa is an amazing cat sitter! She took great care of our 2 cats - coming morning and night to feed them, giving them lots of love, and make sure they were doing well while we were out of town for 5days. She absolutely went above and beyond, including searching the house for Daisy when she didn’t see her as usual one evening. Turned out Daisy had gotten locked in the attic after our cleaners came earlier that day, so we were very lucky Alexa was there and was so attentive and responsible. Thank you so much Alexa! We’d love to have you sit again for us in the future!

About: I am an absolute dog-lover and will provide your pup with the care and affection they need. I am open to pet sitting, dog walking, or quick pop-ins. If your dog loves walks and exploring the outdoors; if you need a reliable dog sitter; and if you want to have confidence in your dog's safety while you're away, please contact me and I would be thrilled to discuss what works best for you and your pup. I work from home and am available for walks most days of the week, with flexible timing. I can dog sit week days and weekends with proper notice. I prefer to stay in my clients homes where the dog is most comfortable, offering a gentle transition to your absence! I do offer stays at my home, however the dog must be house trained but I have great walking areas around me and a small backyard.

Our sitter responded right away and we had the meet and greet a couple weeks later. It all went very well - she had to call me because of a question with the house lock and I appreciated the call. Sandra was great, loves cats and even my shy cat came out and greeted her.

We are thrilled we found Alyssa! It's clear she puts a lot of care into pet sitting. She put us at ease while we were on vacation for a week. She took care of our cat, played with her and gave her food. She communicated the appropriate amount and even took care of our cat's throw up. We appreciated the daily reports and photos. We will definitely book her again. :)

Stephanie was great. She left detailed messages and multiple photos daily which was very much appreciated. And took time with my shy and quirky cat Winston, making big effort to earn his trust. He's a long hair boy prone to matting, and she did an excellent job brushing him too. I would rebook without hesitation.

Susie took great care of our 2 energetic 18-month-old cats while we were out of the country for a week. She came reliably twice a day to feed them, play with them, and keep their litter box clean, and she kept us posted with adorable photos. This was our first time leaving these cats with a stranger, and Susie did a lovely job of keeping them happy and allaying our concerns.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Newton Centre on Rover is $28.27 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 5,105 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Newton Centre. 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newton Centre. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

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.
