“Elizabeth stayed for two full weeks at our house taking care of all the pets, and even the plants. It was SO nice leaving without needed to do anything or stressing the animals with a different environment or prolonged loneliness while we were gone and returning with everyone and everything still in its place happy and healthy.”
“She is amazing! Our dogs adored her and we felt totally safe leaving them in her care. Highly responsive. She helped us out last minute when our regular sitter had a scheduling conflict. We will definitely be using her again.”
“I always worry about leaving our beagle with sitters because she is super shy and anxious, but Madison was great with her! She exceeded our expectations! Would highly recommend.”
“Natali was great! She watched our 2 dogs in our home for several nights while we were out of town. She provided daily updates and photos of your fur babies and responds promptly. She is also, do far, the only in-home sitter who respected our home. Highly recommend Natali!”
“This is our second time booking Tori and all of us just love her. She is wonderful with our older dog Max and sends better pictures of him than we take! :-) Thanks again Tori!”
About: I have worked with animals that have had special requirements including medications, administering shots, and even food allergies. I am very comfortable with these needs and understand the importance of them in regard to your animals wellbeing! I will always care for your animal as if they were my own and update you always! I am currently a sever working part time at the cape and am missing my own animals while I’m away! I have been pet and house sitting for over 8 years and have experience with all breeds of cats and dogs. I am comfortable administering and medications and understand the importance of this care! I will treat your animals as if they were my own (spoiled and loved!) Proper and loving animal care is super important to me and always will be!
“Danielle was amazing! One of my dogs is slow to warm up to new people and she was so good with him that he trusted her almost immediately and she quickly became his new best friend! Danielle sent me photos and updates daily and I couldn't have been happier with her. I will definitely call her for all my travel/dog sitting needs in the future.”
“Abigail did a fantastic job!! She was on time, reliable, left our home in great condition, exceeded our expectations, and our fur-babies absolutely loved her! I came home briefly to grab an item, and found them all curled up on the sofa together. It was such a relief to know that my home and my animals were in good hands. We will definitely be using her again, and totally recommend her to anyone seeking quality pet care. Thank you, Abigail!”
About: Pets are like family to me! I do not have any formal pet care experience on Rover, but I have been helping take care of animals my whole life. My family has cared for several pets and I have pet sat several times for friends and other family members. I care deeply about the individual needs of every animal and want them to feel safe, respected, and have a fun time while in my care. I can provide hourly photo updates of your pet to keep you updated on the activities we are doing together! I have a pretty flexible schedule that may slightly vary depending on other weekly priorities. Feel free to reach out with any time and day and I can get back to you with my availability! I can adhere to the safety of your pets as needed. Pets under my care will be watched closely and client preferences of crating or other needs will be honored.
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of dogs since I was 8 and I have always had a dog of my own growing up. I’ve dealt with dogs giving birth, dogs on special diets, big dogs, small dogs, dogs needing to be kept separate in the same house, etc. My schedule is pretty flexible, I will just be spending a lot of my time training for my soccer season in the fall. I wanted to a job that would keep me active and be flexible with my schedule! I can easily crate your dogs and make sure they are on a leash at all times. I am very kind and gentle with dogs so they easily trust me.
“We are grateful to find Rebecca to watch Murphy, our English lab. Murph can be a bit of a diva, he demands a lot of attention and can be difficult to walk sometimes. He requires a lot of patience! Rebecca is great, she is very responsible and I trust her with my beloved pup. I appreciate the updates she gave and the level of care she provided. We will definitely be seeking Rebeccas’ services again soon!”
“Caitlin took amazing care of our cats and dogs while we were away for the week! She gave extra attention and love to our reactive and anxious dog, and took special care of our senior kitty and helped them both feel comfortable while we were away. She followed the instructions we left for medicine and special care and updated us every day on how everyone was doing. We would definitely recommend Caitlin!”
“Elizabeth is terrific!!!!! She is hands down best sitter we’ve ever had. She house sat and dog sat for us for two weeks and sent multiple pictures and communications per day. My dog is very well taken care of, and house left clean. She followed all our instructions for care of the dog and clearly loved our dog. Highly recommend her. We will be using her services again for our next vacation.”
“Ella is an incredible Pet Sitter! She is conscientious, attentive, and really, really good with animals. She was very responsive to all of my texts. My dog was recovering from surgery and she administered all medications and was careful with stairs, running, and jumping. I enjoyed my vacation because I didn’t have to worry about the care of my pet while I was gone. Thank you, Ella for a great job!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Baltimore
Jarett was easy to work with. He was available for a video chat before the sit and made sure he was comfortable with the details of Mogi’s care. Provided check-ins as requested. Mogi was a happy girl when I came home and my house was clean and tidy. A big relief after being away.
Zachary was amazing. It was his first time watching our dog (Nora) and it was for over a week. He was very attentive to her, especially her specific feeding instructions, and spent a lot of time with her. He also dealt with a few unplanned issues here on the property very professionally. He left the house immaculate. Would highly recommend and will be using him again. Thanks so much Zachary!

FAQs for House Sitting - New Baltimore
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in New Baltimore on Rover is $37.45 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 4,170 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
