“I can’t say enough good things about Sasha! She was incredibly loving, patient, and attentive with my two cats, who can both be a little shy at first. She took the time to get to know them and made sure they felt safe and comfortable. I appreciated the updates and photos she sent—they gave me such peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals, and I’m so grateful for the care she gave. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jordan took great care of my kitties once again on very short notice! I felt very at ease on my trip knowing that Dexy and Fio were in such good hands!”
“Aida took wonderful care of our 4 boys while we were out of town for a week - her visits were a highlight of our day as she sent daily photo updates! We had no issues and will definitely be rebooking her for future trips.”
“I have booked with Claudia multiple times and she has been a pleasure to work with. She’s great at communication and makes me feel like my cats are in good hands while I’m away.”
“Nick was great with Alfie! She typically is very distrustful of new people, but took to him really quickly, approaching him when they met and, based on the pictures he sent during his visits, became comfortable quickly even when my husband and I were gone. Thanks, Nick!”
“Ari is fantastic and took such good care of our kitties while we were away! Especially our senior kitty that needed a lot of daily pills. I really appreciated Ari’s thorough communication and picture updates. It was a great relief knowing our babies were well cared for!”
“Great cat sitter. Nadine was highly reliable and was able to care for our elderly cat. She made it a breeze to train her on the cat's med schedule and quirky nature. Highly recommend.”
“Adelle was fantastic with my shy kitty! She sent detailed updates about all aspects of how she was doing, and kept me updated with lots of photos. I never worried the whole 10 days I was away. Super grateful and will definitely book with Adelle again.”
“Sarah was very communicative and did a really nice job of looking after my senior cat, Frankie. She gave her lots of balcony time and treats, and kept me updated with pics and notes. Thank you, Sarah!”
About: I've have grown up surrounded by animals (2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 brothers!). I have experience in short and long term dog & cat sitting. My most interesting sitting experience was watching 5 cats at once (the more the merrier)! I also have experience taking care of small animals including hamsters and guinea pigs. With my family, I have helped to foster and find the forever homes for 2 dogs, 1 adult cat, and 2 kittens! I have experience and am comfortable working with shy and nervous animals. I am a student at Boston College living in Newton for the summer. I am currently taking classes and am a research intern which take up roughly 2-4 hours a day. I also work in downtown Boston on Monday's and Wednesday's between 9am-5pm. While I do not have a car, I am well versed in Boston public transportation. I am a very active person and would be happy to take your pups walking, running, and on hiking adventures! For services in my home: I currently live with 1 roommate and do not have any pets. I am comfortable with short-term boarding (no longer than 4 weeks) for dogs and cats. I have an unfenced backyard but have close access to a fenced in dog-park. My apartment is on the second floor - a concern for older dogs who might have trouble with stairs. For services in client homes: I am able to stay in client homes & I am clean and quiet! I am happy to complete cleaning services or other house-sitting tasks along with caring for your dogs, cats, or small animals. I am also comfortable visiting client homes periodically, including multiple times a day if needed.
“Maegan provided excellent, thorough, thoughtful care to our two kitties. She gave detailed updates of every visit and made us feel like we were right there with our fur babies even from afar. Photos proved our cats were very trusting and comfortable with Maegan, a testament to Maegan's attention to detail when it comes to cat communication.”
“Marina was terrific and truly went above and beyond. She took wonderful care of our older cat. We really appreciate the extra patience, thoughtfulness, and care she showed. Highly recommend!”
“Katie was a greater communicator and completely reliable. She handled our cat’s different medications with confidence and even won over our hissy little guy!”
“Helena did a great job taking care of my cat, which included administering his asthma inhaler, making sure he was feeling well and had a good appetite, and mixing in medicine to his wet food. Her updates were super detailed and much appreciated, and I will definitely be looking to use her again in the future!”
“Angelica is a wonderful pet sitter, she is very friendly and responsive. She took good care of my cat and did everything that I requested and more. My cat loved her, and I had a worry-free trip knowing that my cat is in good hands. I will definitely book her again in the future and recommend her to my friends and family! Thank you Angelica!”
“It was pleasure to have Traci stay at my home! She made me feel really comfortable and followed all the Instructions given. She even looked after my Bonsai trees.”
About: Experience with senior dogs, difficult cats, and hyper young ones who need that special one on one attention. Having cared for a dog with cancer, I am happy to do any extra care necessary for special cases. I have a very flexible hybrid schedule, which means I can work from your home and provide your pal with around the day attention and breaks. I have a young cat at home and have experience with dogs that are prone to bolting. I am neat and will always attend to your house and pet like it is my own.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Newton Centre
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!
Sue was really excellent with my 2 kitty’s! I took a week vacation out of the country and Sue did such a great job watching my cats and it really set my mind at ease. They both have different needs and Sue took the time to make sure they each had what they needed! She even won over my shy cat which is not an easy task! Highly recommend!
Bryana is the best! I loved getting the Rover Cards and photos while I was away and seeing how happy Kira was with her new pal! It was also a relief knowing that Bryana was giving Kira her medicine (followed by a treat!) each day! Highly recommend Bryana and look forward to booking her again for my next trip!
Lauren filled in for me pretty last minute for a week of pet sitting my cat, and I am forever grateful she did! She did an excellent job keeping me informed and enticing my cat downstairs with treats. Thank you so much, Lauren, and I hope we can work together again!!
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!
Taylor did a fantastic job doing drop in visits for our three cats over a holiday weekend. She handled food, litter, and medicine as we requested and gave us super thorough updates and cute photos! Made our travel so much easier to know our cats were in good hands :)
I’ve booked with Avery multiple times and she has always been great to work with! I had some last minute changes to my work travel, and she was able to extend the booking. She always sits with my kitties for a bit and gives them some company while I’m away, which I love! Highly recommend
Avery was wonderful! Very communicative, kind, and attentive. She sent such great (and hilarious) pictures of the kitties and even brought a super heavy Amazon package in for me, which I didn’t ask for or expect! I felt totally at ease and confident my cats were well cared for while I was away.
Amanda was wonderful with my kitty Steve! She was very communicative about when she was there, how he was doing, and what they did. Steve can be a bit of a butthead when it comes to new people but that did not matter and Amanda was great at accommodating him. I would definitely hire her again!

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.
