“Finding the right person to care for your dogs is never easy, especially when you have two energetic six-month-old puppies. Deborah exceeded every expectation. Her energy matched theirs perfectly, and it was clear from the start that she is not only a wonderful caregiver but also highly experienced with young dogs. What impressed us most was her commitment to maintaining the training and routines we had been working so hard to establish. That consistency was incredibly important to us, and it gave us complete confidence that our puppies were in excellent hands. Deborah was also exceptionally flexible and accommodating as our travel plans unexpectedly changed throughout the week. Her willingness to adjust her schedule without hesitation made an already stressful situation so much easier. We returned home to two happy, well-cared-for puppies, and we are genuinely grateful for the care, professionalism, and peace of mind Deborah provided. We would recommend her without hesitation and look forward to having her care for our dogs again.”
“Hayley was amazing, this was the first time we used Rover or have someone who wasn't family watch our I was a little nervous and wasn't sure how it all worked. Hayley was accommodating with me wanting to meet her ahead of time and she got along great with both my dogs. She sent me an update with pictures and Lexi and Oliver looked as happy as can be. I will definitely be booking Hayley the next time we need a sitter.”
“We were happy to have Jessica look after our dog. She was responsible, tidy and took very good care of our pup. He warmed up to her immediately. We will be happy to have her look after our pets again in the future.”
“Ashley was an amazing dog and cat sitter. My dog is special needs with his disease and has high anxiety but she made him feel safe. I will be using her services again. I have never left my baby with a sitter before and she made me feel comfortable with great communication and pics of my boy through out the day. I was thrilled with the level of care and attention she gave him and was able to give him meds right on time!”
“Laura took wonderful care of my dog, Luna, and I’m already in the process of rebooking her. Luna has anxiety and leash reactivity, and Laura took the time to truly listen to both Luna’s needs and mine. She was attentive, compassionate, and made sure to care for Luna exactly the way I needed. Laura was also incredibly thorough, taking detailed notes and joining us on walks before her stay to build trust and get to know Luna better. I’m so grateful to have found her!

About: I went to college for Veterinary Assisting in 2019, and have had various experiences. I've worked in Vet clinics and hospitals and frequently pet sit for friends and family. I have a huge love of animals of every kind! From the furry, to the scaly, and even the feathered! I have experience working with animals from all stages of life, as well as furry friends with specialized diets. Put your faith in me and you won't be disappointed! I have full availability for your furry friends when I’m not at other pet sitting jobs! I am super flexible so feel free to send me a message to see if our schedules align :) This is dependent on the species, breed and what their specific needs are. For example, in college, I owned 2 rats who needed consistent enrichment activities, regular baths and grooming, as well as all the love and snuggles they wanted! They both lived 2 very long happy lives up until and even past their life expectancy. I now own a large and thriving aquarium which I love and adore.
“Repeat client here! 👋🏻 Michelle is an ideal home/dog sitter and this is our 2nd time using her services. Her communication, attention to detail and overall care for both our chihuahuas and our home has been excellent and deeply appreciated!”
“William took fantastic care of our dog while we were away. We're so grateful for his flexibility and patience. Our sometimes anxious dog was at ease with him and he was able to extend the hours of the stay to accommodate a change in our travel plans. Thank you William!”
“Bozhena took care of my 9 year old Collie, at my home, for a week, and I came back to a dog who was happy, healthy, and very relaxed! Usually he sleeps for days after a trip, but he had his fully energy and was ready to play - clearly he hadn't been stressed in the least. Bozhena also took great care to administer some medicine my dog had been recently prescribed, and kept me up to date about his symptoms. My house was also neat as a pin when I returned home. I will be using Bozhena again for future dog-sitting, and highly recommend her!”
“Victoria was amazing! She was super attentive with my newly adopted fur baby mochi. Sent me plenty of updates and accommodating a very last minute request, where I needed a sitter asap! I will definitely be rebooking again soon! Thank you so much ! 🐾💕”
“I had a great experience! She was super kind and communication was excellent throughout. She accepted a last-minute booking, which helped us so much. Zuko is usually anxious when meeting someone new for the first time, but he warmed up to her as soon as she walked in which says a lot! I would definitely book again and highly recommend her!”
“Ella was very attentive to Sage and sent lots of pictures of their playtime. Her communication regarding the house sitting was clear and timely. I would absolutely recommend her to take care of anyone's fur babies.😊”

“Andrea was wonderful! We really appreciated how communicative she was and how many updates and photos she sent while caring for our pets. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our “kids” were in such good hands. She was attentive, thoughtful, and clearly cared for them like they were her own. Thank you, Andrea”

Ella house sat and watched our two big dogs for a week. The boys had loads of fun, great walks, and the house was really clean when we came home! We have a reactive anxious dog and she was able to accommodate his crazy :) - would def recommend and we will be using again.
I'm so grateful I found Amanda on Rover. I can tell by the pics she sent me how comfortable Cornie felt with her and I'm so grateful. It's always difficult to leave my baby and all the updates made it so much easier. I'll definitely be booking Amanda in the future.
Jessica seemed to a wonderful job looking after Emma. This was our first experience with a private dog sitter. Emma told me she did a good job walking her in a timely fashion. The only thing that Emma(the dog),was that she did not think that she got enough food. 😁. Over all we were very pleased with the whole experience. 👍

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Newmarket on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Newmarket maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Newmarket walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Newmarket choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 82% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
