Alyssa is great! My pets and home were well cared for. My dog gets pretty anxious when I go out of town but he seemed very calm and relaxed when I came back. He seemed like he had a great time with Alyssa!

We recently had Sarah as our dog sitter for a week, and we couldn't be more pleased with her service. This was our first time using her, and she exceeded all our expectations. Sarah was not only amazing with our two dogs, providing them with love and excellent care, but she was also very communicative throughout her stay. She regularly updated us with messages and photos, which was such a reassurance that our boys were happy and well. Additionally, she took great care of our house, leaving it just as we had left it if not cleaner honestly. It's such a relief to find someone so reliable and attentive. We will definitely be calling on her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

About: I’ve taken care of my family’s, neighbors, and friend’s animals of all kinds for years. I enjoy offering them training tips as I have experience from my own dogs and spending time with their pets. I’m currently a college students and have a variety of hours in between and before class during the week and am available on the weekends. I maintain a pretty flexible schedule. I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and my family currently has three dogs and two cats. I love taking care and spending time with them! They all get along well and enjoy time in a fenced in backyard.

Anna was wonderful with our high-energy 7-month-old Lab! She arrived on time, spent plenty of time outside with her even in the cold, and stayed for five hours. She followed all instructions and made sure our pup was fed lunch and dinner. We felt completely at ease and would absolutely recommend her.

Elisha was great. She wasn't intimidated by Arlo's epilepsy which was a huge relief to me. She seemed immediately at ease with the boys and they with her. When I got home my dogs were calm, happy and not anxious so I could tell that they were indeed comfortable with her. I will definitely book with Elisha again.

I have two cats that are very picky about who they will be around and I selected Eydid because their profile shows how passionate they are with cats. It was my first time using Rover or any sitter and I was definitely anxious about it. Eydid is amazing - he took the time to get to know my cats, sit with them, and play with them. They love Eydid and that says a lot! Eydid was very respectful of my home and provided me with great updates and pics & videos of the cats having fun. 10/10 would select again. In fact I already have booked Eydid for another session when I am traveling out of the country :D

Our experience with Jessica was absolutely amazing. We were gone for a week, and she took such incredible care of our two dogs. Taking care of two dogs can be a lot, but Jessica handled everything so well and made the whole process stress-free for us She kept us updated regularly with pictures and messages, and it was clear the dogs were getting tons of love, attention, and care every single day. One of our dogs is usually cautious around new people and was completely adamant about not warming up to anyone at first but by mid week, they had become best buddies. Seeing that level of trust and comfort honestly meant so much to us. When we got home, the dogs were so happy, relaxed, and attached to her routine that it actually took them almost 10 minutes to realize we were back! That alone says everything about how comfortable and cared for they felt during the stay. We’re very grateful for the care and attention she gave our pups and would gladly trust her again in the future. Highly recommend

Natasha was GREAT with my St. Bernard Finnegan. Not only did she handle him well, but she also became fast freinds and loved him like I do. Natasha made my trip out of town less worrisome, and I would not hesitate to have her watch Finn in my house again any time soon. I think I even came home to a cleaner house than I left it. Thank you so much Natasha!!!!!

About: I am an experienced and dedicated pet caregiver with a lifelong love of animals. I have previously owned both a Beagle and a Greyhound and am currently a proud cat parent to seven cats. In addition, I have successfully fostered and cared for eight litters of kittens, providing attentive care from infancy through adoption readiness. My experience extends beyond my own pets, as I regularly help care for my family's pets, including two dogs and a cat. I have also provided reliable pet-sitting services for close friends, caring for multiple dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles while they were away on vacation or at work. I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines, and I am committed to providing compassionate, dependable care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply maintaining their regular routine, I am dedicated to ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. As a full-time college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care, including walks, feeding, and in-home visits. Pet care is a great fit for me because it complements my studies while giving me the opportunity to spend time with animals I love. Your fur babies will receive plenty of attention and companionship, and they'll make wonderful study buddies while I ensure they are happy, safe, and well cared for. Pets are family to me. My own animals are spoiled with love, affection, and attention, and I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. I understand that being away from their owners can be stressful, so I make it a priority to give them plenty of love, comfort, playtime, and companionship to help them feel happy and secure until their family returns.

About: My husband and I have a dog named Jax, he just turned 7 and is such a goofball. We have taken care of dogs for a long time now and Jax loves having friends over! Sean works from home so we are able to give your dog plenty of breaks. Our day normally consists of 2 good walks morning and night, an afternoon quick walk and potty breaks in between! We live in an apartment along Washington Square Park, so we walk the park every day! We try on days off to find trails around to get out as well!

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was five years old and continued to get more dogs. I have dog sat for multiple friends and family rating from dogs and cats. As far as training animals, I did grow up with having to train them so I do have some experience. I am currently working part time and go to community college but will be able to manage and work out a schedule that will be accommodating. I have 3 dogs that have invisible fences outside so they can roam free without getting lost, going to the road, running off. I have a big yard surrounding my house so they are used to running around freely. When it gets too cold they come in to the house or garage with my father. I am used to walking dogs as they do get walked on occasion at home or if we have them out of the house. I do not off offer services that welcome pets into my house but I am accommodating as necessary and will offer services at your residency.

About: I had over ten dogs growing up, both large and small, and have had three cats. All have lived to an old age and had a wonderful quality of life! I work from 7am-3pm Monday-Friday with occasional work from homes, so I can provide pet care in the early morning and/or afternoon/evening! On weekends, I am flexible! I focus on building trust and affection with pets, ensuring play time and pets are on their terms, giving space as needed! I am big on safety and keeping a watchful eye on them.

FAQs for House Sitting - New Baltimore

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in New Baltimore on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of June 2026, there are 585 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Baltimore. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans 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 New Baltimore walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in New Baltimore 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!

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 New Baltimore 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!

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.

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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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.

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.

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

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
