“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.”
About: Hi! I’m Caroline, a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all personalities. I understand that every pet has their own unique quirks, routines, and needs, and I pride myself on providing loving, reliable, and attentive care that keeps them comfortable while you're away. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, medication, or just quiet companionship, I tailor each visit to suit your pet’s preferences. I also offer regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe and happy. I treat every pet like my own with patience, respect, and lots of affection. Let me know how I can help! I currently work in biotech at an office job during the day Monday - Friday with some flexibility to be remote a day here and there, so I am available to stop by early mornings (5-7am) or after work (3-10pm) on days I’m at the office. I am available any time on weekends! At your home, I will be respectful of your space and the way you cater to your pet and their needs. I want to build a relationship to get to know you and your pet and will treat them as if they were my own!
“Jana was a perfect dog sitter! She accepted the job on very short notice and arrived early. She really saved the day! She was very gentle and loving with my tiny chihuahua puppy. I loved getting the picture updates. Thank you, Jana!”

About: I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and devoted cat mom. Caring for my own pet has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and attention to detail.

“James was an excellent caregiver for my cat. He came over early to see the house and meet Finbar, sent nice updates and pictures. I would be happy to use his services again.”
About: I am a recent college grad spending some time on my own, but greatly missing my pets! I have experience with all kinds of animals including medically complex pets, seniors, puppies, doodles and other hairy friends, and more! I am a part time intern working about 20 hours per week looking for some friends to fill my downtime. I can look after your animals any time of day with this flexibility. Good for weekdays and weekends! I follow a strict schedule with animals. Feeding routines, walks, treats, and training are all scheduled and followed to a T in my household. This makes it easy for me to apply these in other households.
“Sarah was excellent! She was very prompt and thorough in all of her communication leading up to and during the drop-in visit. She took great care of our dog. I highly recommend Sarah!”
“Lauren is the best. My cat Luna hates being alone but Lauren was there for her on-time every day while I was in Italy. She kept in close contact with photos and chats and I never once worried about Luna. Will hire her again next time I'm away. Thanks Lauren!”
“Took really good care of my fur babies and was conscientious and tidy in my apartment. Loved the updates and photos! I will definitely re-book and it made me very comfortable in a stressful work event that I knew my cats were taken care of, especially my newly diabetic cat!”

Caroline has taken fantastic care of our two cats while we traveled on multiple occasions. She communicates regularly during our time away and always sends the best updates/pics of them playing. Caroline is kind, courteous, responsive and punctual — and our fluff balls love seeing her. 10/10 would recommend Caroline for your pet sitting needs.
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!
Michelle was a fantastic sitter for our sweet kitty! She was very patient with us when we had some issues with the app during booking, and was quickly available to come over for a tour even though we were only a few days away from our trip. She was very communicative before, during, and after her visit and we came home to a very happy kitty! Thank you Michelle!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Newton Highlands on Rover is $29.97 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,068 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Newton Highlands. 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 Highlands. On Rover:
- 92% 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.
