“I am so grateful to have found Christina to take care of my girl, Honey. As she’s gotten older, Honey hasn’t been able to handle the stress of boarding anymore, she was always coming home sick and stressed out. Christina stayed in my home with Honey, allowing her to stay on her normal feeding, walking, and medication schedule the entire time I was away. Christina shared updates, videos and photos every day so I knew Honey was okay and having fun. Having that peace of mind allowed me to truly relax on my vacation for the first time in years! And I came home to my house cleaner than I left it, with a safe, happy, healthy doggo! Christina is the best, she followed my care instructions to the letter and I really believe she treated Honey like her own dog. I highly recommend Christina and will definitely be trusting her with Honey again the future!”
“Kristen is amazing! Punctual, friendly, calm. Great communication. Best of all, Teddy seemed to love her and be extremely comfortable with her. It was the fastest I have ever seen him settle down with someone even with meds. Will definitely be booking with Kristen again when someone is needed. Thank you!”
“Jonathan did an exceptional job dog-sitting and house-sitting for us for a full week. He was incredibly conscientious and highly communicative, sending regular updates and adorable pictures. Our dog absolutely adored him, and Jonathan took such great care of our home that we barely noticed he was there—yet we returned to a spotless house. We highly recommend him without hesitation.”
“Paulette was a very capable and caring dog sitter for our Chiefy! She really was an amazing choice for us and we will definitely use her pet services again, our boy loved her from the first introduction!”
“Erinn is the best! We have two senior dogs, one with special needs after having IVDD surgery, and when we came back from our little trip they were happy as ever. She’s knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly good with the pups. I’ve never seen them so at ease with a stranger. We’ll be booking her again soon!”
“Lindsey did a great job taking care of our pup and two cats. She was punctual, communicative, and overall great to work with. I know our animals appreciated having her here while we were gone and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter while away!”
“Kiersten is very easy to communicate with and took great care of my dog, Luna. She sent me lots of pictures of their time together and was very flexible when our plans changed. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Laura was AMAZING!! We were so blessed to have found her!! Many thanks for the great communication, pictures and fabulous gifts she left for Julian! So thoughtful and kind!! Just cannot say enough great things about this beautiful young lady!! Definitely a keeper!!!”
About: Hi! I’m a caring and responsible pet lover with experience taking care of both cats and dogs. I’ve cared for pets in the past, so I understand how important it is to provide them with love, patience, attention, and a safe environment. I’m also a proud cat parent to my 6-year-old cat, which has given me years of experience understanding a cat’s needs, personality, and daily routine. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, providing companionship, or giving extra cuddles, I enjoy making pets feel comfortable, happy, and loved. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to make sure your furry family member receives the best possible care. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own and keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my priority. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I have experience caring for my family’s dog and my friends’ pets, along with being a proud cat parent to my 6-year-old cat. I’m familiar with daily feeding, playtime, walks, and giving pets the attention and affection they need. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to follow their usual routines and treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own. 🐾❤️ I prefer pet sitting in your home because I believe pets feel most comfortable and secure in their own familiar environment. Staying in their own home allows them to maintain their routines and feel less stressed while you’re away. I respect each pet’s boundaries, pay attention to their body language, and let them approach me at their own pace. I believe animals deserve the same kindness, patience, and respect as humans. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, understood, and loved, just as I would want someone to care for my own 6-year-old cat. 🐾❤️
“Katherine was great! Our Butterball was well taken care of while we were away during Thanksgiving. She even rolled with the punches when the electronics at the house seemed to not cooperate! Would definitely recommend her and use her again!”
About: Ive bred and took care of newborn puppies. And the long term care the mother needed after birth. Helped keep her happy for the remainder of her life. Bathed and groomed more times than i can remember. Trained for practicality and for tricks! I volunteer in my town a lot. I am an assistant coach and i am about to be voted onto a town committee for the rail trail in our town. Also a full time care giver for my mother but i could have help with that if needed. A nice big open area to walk around in leashed.. and a big ole park (grenville park) just minutes away walking distance. Big apartment complex
“Jay stepped in at very short notice to help us out when another sitter fell through. We really appreciated her quick response and regular communication during the transition as well as throughout the sitting. She is very reliable and sends lots of photos and updates. Our pets are in good hands with Jay! We’ve been able to have her house sit two times and would love to have her again.”
About: I started caring for my families pets when I was 6 years old. My neighbors were dog grooming from home, with the occasional cat grooming, so I got to get to know a lot of different things about individual breeds. My husband Evan knows how to train dogs and cats to do just about anything. He is also fluent in asl, a musician, and an artist. I love to give pets my full attention and care because it is relaxing to me. I know a lot of veterinarian technicians as well from my time in trade school. I live near Green Hill Park which is a great place to go for a stroll when the weather is nice. I know what pets are asking for and what to do if anything comes up so if you need special care for your pet they will be safe with me. I am currently available weekends and week nights. If my schedules changes I will update my profile with time off in advanced so that there are no miscommunications or cancellations. I can spend time with your pet playing in the yard or home. I walk pets as frequently as their schedule requires. Every pet has unique care needs. I love to care for pets and give them my full attention. Younger pets are full of energy and love to play so I do my best to get all their energy out so they sleep well and stay healthy. I am able to give pets medication or put them in diapers if required by the owner.
About: I’ve always been a huge dog lover! I grew up with two Labrador Retrievers, one of whom has sadly passed away, and currently have a 5-month-old Lab puppy. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and understand the importance of patience, exercise, and lots of love! I’ll treat your furry family member like my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away! I’m currently training to become a nail technician, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I’m available on Saturdays, Sundays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets. I love staying active and making sure every pup gets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and happiness are my priority! I’ll provide a loving environment, follow their routines, and send updates so you always feel at ease.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot say enough wonderful things about Danielle!!! From the very beginning, communication was seamless and reassuring. They took the time to get to know my pet’s routine, quirks, and needs, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates, photos, and videos that showed just how much love and attention my pet was getting. It was clear that Danielle treated them like family. When my husband came home, my boys were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for—which speaks volumes. The extra touches like tidying up water bowls, talking to my chickens and birds, really showed how much they go above and beyond. I highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and truly caring. I will absolutely be booking with them again! For my first experience on Rover…..absolutely amazing! Thank you Danielle!”
“Bri was the perfect fit for our energetic dog. She provided updates and pictures while we were away. It put our minds at ease knowing she was taking such great care of our dog. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: My love for exotic animals made me a zookeeper 20 years ago, but caring for pets and farm animals is my favorite. Happy to help you! I have a fully flexible schedule. I can be there for you during days, evenings, overnights, and weekends. I have a big sweet dog to keep your pets company in our home, or in yours. It’s OK if your pets would rather no outside furry friends though. I am happy to respect your preferences on crating/gating/free range, special diets/fresh cooking, walk schedule, basic obedience, snuggles, toys, and treats. Dogs of any size and breed, and pets and farm animals of any species will be well-loved in your absence. 💛
“Both my pup and I had such a great experience with Amed. Such a lovely and dependable person who is clearly a dog whisper! My anxious dog was not fussed at all when we returned. I think he enjoyed his experience very much and we felt like he was well cared for during our absence! Thank you so very much!!”
About: Trustworthy, flexible pet care: home hosting or in-home stays, hiking buddies or cozy cuddles, and one family’s pets at a time to ensure your pets needs are my focus. I am flexible and available to work around both you and your pets schedule. : I’ll partner with you to tailor care so your pet stays relaxed and well-supported. My fenced-in backyard provides a safe, spacious space for your dog with plenty of playtime and fresh-air exploration. Your pet will be treated like family.

Jenna was awesome! It was the first time leaving our pup for the night and I missed him as soon as I left but Jenna sent a picture right away of her and him playing outside together. He looked so happy and it made me feel so much better! Throughout the night she continued to send me several pictures and keep me updated on how he was doing. I highly recommend booking with Jenna!

FAQs for House Sitting - New Braintree
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,182 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Braintree. 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 Braintree 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 Braintree 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 Braintree 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
