“Ari was fantastic with my kitties! My cats both need oral medication every morning so I was a bit worried to leave them, but Ari took great care of them. I recieved thorough notes for each visit and multiple photos every morning. I was very reassured they were in good hands. I will be rebooking in the future!”

“Clare was wonderful with my 2 cats. She followed the instructions well and gave thorough reports (and pictures!) from her check-ins. My cats don’t usually warm up to a new caretaker right away but seemed to really like her. I also appreciate that she came over ahead of time to meet them and review their care instructions. I would definitely book Clare again in the future.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. Ilana did once-a-day visits for three weeks, and the peace of mind she gave us was priceless. Our cats were happy, relaxed, and clearly so well cared for when we returned home. She kept everything spotless, made sure their routines stayed consistent, and sent thoughtful updates that truly reassured us while we were away. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about animals, and our cats absolutely adored her. We would trust her again in a heartbeat.”

About: Hi there! I’m an experienced dog care provider dedicated to giving local pups the absolute best care. With professional experience co-owning a pet service business and years of hands-on dog handling, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. My main priority is making sure your pup stays safe, comfortable, and right on schedule for their visits. Whether we’re out on an energetic walk, dropping in for mealtime, or relaxing during an overnight stay, you can count on clear communication, prompt updates, and plenty of cute photos. Looking forward to connecting with you and your pup! Pet care is a core part of my daily routine. I build my schedule around consistent walks/visits, feeding times, and any special instructions so pets are never rushed or squeezed in. Throughout the week, I keep communication steady with updates and photos, and I stay organized with notes to keep each pet’s routine consistent from day to day. I care for pets the same way in any space: safely, calmly, and according to their routine. In a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely for meals, walk/play schedule, and house rules. I keep everything clean and secure, and I send clear updates and photos each visit. In my home (for boarding), I provide a calm environment, regular potty breaks and exercise, close supervision, and a consistent routine with the right balance of attention and downtime based on your pet’s personality and energy level.

About: I've been doing pet care since I was 8 and have lots of experience with animals of all ages and personalities. Typical animal care from me looks like refilling food and water, walks, cleaning litter boxes, and finding creative ways to keep your animals thoroughly entertained. This summer I'm taking online college classes so my schedule is super flexible. The only set times I'll be busy doing virtual classes are from 11:00-4:30 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Please let me know what times work for you. I will always make sure to keep your dogs on leashes when not in fenced in areas to ensure your pup's safety is accounted for.

The frequent photos and updates are always so appreciated. I can tell Mocha always has a wonderful time with Susie while I'm away. I'd recommend Susie to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

“Sarah was so amazing to our orange tabby Biscotti! He sometimes acts shy around visitors, but he was instantly engaged with her and got plenty of purring and play time. He recognized her even though he hasn't seen her since the meet and greet a while ago! Sarah followed instructions perfectly, communicated clearly, and definitely made our cat happy while we were out of town for the weekend. Highly recommend and we will definitely be reaching out to her in the future.”

About: Hi! My name is Morgan, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets! I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life, and over the past five years, I’ve also volunteered at several animal shelters. Through my shelter experience, I’ve had the opportunity to care for both dogs and cats by feeding them, playing with them, cleaning up after them, and, most importantly, giving them the love, patience, and attention they deserve. I truly believe that pets are an important part of our families and hold such a special place in our lives. Every animal has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to get to know each pet and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they need. My goal is to make your time away easier by giving you peace of mind that your pets are in loving and dependable hands. I would be so happy to meet you and your pets and have the opportunity to become someone you can trust to care for them! During the week, I’m available to care for your pets before 9:00 AM and after 5:00 PM. On weekends, I have full availability and can accommodate any time that works best for you and your pet! I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for. I provide fresh food and water, plenty of attention and playtime, and a comfortable space for them to rest. I also understand the importance of respecting my clients’ homes and always make sure to leave everything clean, tidy, and just as I found it.

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.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - West Newton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in West Newton is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 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 October 2026, there are 5,160 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across West Newton. 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 .

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 .

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

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 , 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.
