“Jordan was great checking in on my cat Poe! She was communicative, responsive, experienced and was able to give my cat his medication while I was away. She made everything very easy, highly recommend!”
“Nick is amazing taking care of our senior cat, especially when she was still in the postop recovery of her teeth extraction. Would definitely recommend Nick for anyone’s cat sitter in the future!”
“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!”
“This was my first time booking Carol. Since the meet and greet my cat was at ease with her. I loved her updates and the pictures she sent daily. I highly recommend her and will be my first choice from now on.”
“J is such a wonderful sitter! She was incredibly responsive and was in constant contact when she cared for our cats. I can tell they were in great care with her, we will certainly be reaching out to her for future visits.”
“"Marina is absolutely wonderful! From the start, she was reliable and incredibly helpful, making the whole process stress-free. She has a very calm and patient energy that immediately put my mind at ease. She followed every single instruction to the letter and showed such a caring attitude toward my home and pets. I highly recommend Marina, and I’m already looking forward to having her watch my kitties again!"”
“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.”
“Sarah was so great!! She really came through for a slightly last minute booking. She provided timely updates and plenty of cute pictures of our Freya 💕 It seems like our baby had such a good time ☺️ Would definitely rebook and recommend Sarah for her services!”
“Lindsay took such great care of my cat Naomi! She was extremely professional and responsive, and she was so helpful even with some very last minute changes/housesitting needs that I was stressing over. Also had no trouble administering Naomi’s medication and was so attentive to her daily routine. I really appreciated all the detailed updates and cat pics!! I would happily have her catsit for us again :)”
About: I absolutely love animals. I grew up with a cat before my family adopted a senior dog and got a puppy. I’m able to administer medication to pets, as we did that with our senior dog, but have also cared for our (no longer) puppy his entire life. I helped train him and helped him understand fetch, which he now loves. Additionally, I often cared for my grandma’s cat both when she couldn’t and just because I love her cat. I’m currently in grad school and intern a few days a week so my schedule is a bit weird, but I am always happy to work something out! I’m generally available for walks/drop ins Monday and Friday at 5pm, Tuesday after 6pm, Wednesday before 5:30pm, Thursday both between 11am and 1pm as well as after 6:30pm, and all day on the weekends. Please just message me and I’d be happy to find a time that works! In someone’s home, I’m always respectful of their limits with their pets. If at a friend’s, I always make sure to ask whether it’s okay if their pet can be on the couch, given a treat, etc.
“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!”
“Eveline was a life saver, after my originally booked sitter cancelled on me with a 48 hour notice. Great communication, super friendly, reliable and she took great care of my 2 cats.”
“Highly recommend Paige to watch your pets, especially if you're nervous about leaving them or if you have extremely attention-craving little one like me. Without even getting the chance to meet before hand, Paige made me feel very comfortable leaving my young cat in her care and she sent many photos so I know they had a good time and he got the attention he needed. She's so sweet and will do a great job looking after your fur babies!”
“I highly recommend Thomas for anyone in need of pet sitting or cat care services. I had a super last-minute request, and Thomas went out of his way to accommodate my schedule, even coordinating a same-day key handoff. He was punctual, thoughtful, and left sweet notes that made me feel confident and reassured while I was away. Most importantly, he took wonderful care of my cat Gnocchi — it was clear he treated her with genuine attention and affection. If you're looking for someone dependable, caring, and easy to work with, Thomas is an excellent choice.”
“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!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Newton Centre
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!
Sasha was very communicative with me about her schedule, the drop ins, and how my cats were doing. She gave me detailed updates and really made being away from my cats for the first time much easier because I knew they were in good hands. One of my cats is not a lap cat at all, and she even sat with Sasha on the last day of drop ins, which goes to show how great Sasha was with them!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Newton Centre is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $34 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.
As of November 2026, there are 1,645 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 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.
