“Deb did a lovely job with our 2 dogs. We came home after 2 weeks of vacation to relaxed and happy pets. None of the stressed out behaviors we have seen in the past when we had to kennel them. I would recommend Deb to anyone!”
About: I’ve worked with many animals big and small. Both of my own and friends and family. I’ve owned 5 cats and 3 dogs throughout my life. I am a volunteer at a local animal shelter. I worked on a farm for 5 years taking care of the animals. I’m able to administer medications. I’m currently unemployed so I’m free most days. I do have pets at home to take care of so I just have to work around their schedules. In my home the pets get fed twice a day. The cats get their litter changed once a week and scooped every other day. The dogs are walked before and after meals and then any time they wait at the door. I will care for your pets they way they are used to and try my best to stick to their schedules.
“Alaina was absolutely awesome- I can’t recommend her highly enough! Her communication was excellent — she responded quickly, clearly, and kept me updated throughout the entire time she was watching our pup. We appreciated the daily photo updates. It’s obvious that Alaina truly loves animals and treats them like family. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, kind, and reliable dog sitter, Alaina is it!”
“Katelyn was great while watching our dog over our long vacation- Great communication, along with some pictures of our pup! Katelyn even stayed an additional night for us when we ran into some car trouble and wouldn’t be home when planned. Thanks Katelyn!”
“My dog stayed with Christopher for five days. After the initial meet and greet I knew my pupper was in great hands! I got pictures every day. I felt very secure and was able to relax on my vacation knowing he was so well taken care of!”
About: I have experience working at an animal shelter cleaning, caring, feeding, and walking dogs and cats. I have experience caring for puppies and giving medications to dogs. I am currently working full-time but I am free on most weekends. I would love to fill up my free time with taking care of pets! I don't ever want a pet to feel uncomfortable. As a chihuahua parent, I am very familiar with the separation anxiety that can occur when their favorite person(s) are away. My goal is to be an entertaining human bestie so that time away doesn't seem so bad!
About: Having experience in taking care of animals since I was young and going on to intern at a vet clinic and being a member of FFA, I have learned to have compassion and love to take care of animals of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. I am currently working weekends, so I'll have plenty of time to play and have interactive fun with pets during the week days and am willing to accommodate whatever they need. With a fenced in lawn I offer a secure and loving home away from home for your furry companion. Prioritizing their safety and well-being in a calm environment with experienced, trustworthy care.
About: Hi there! I am a current PA student that is puppy/pet deprived after losing my sweet girl Annie to splenic cancer 2 years ago. I have had 2 cats and a dog (Annie) and I have helped my grandma with her litters of Doberman during my entire childhood. I have experience with home health care for elderly, I am medically trained (for humans) and have years of babysitting (also for humans). All this being said, I would love to help out you and your family while also having the ability to gain some pet therapy myself :) My schedule will change monthly so I will continue to update my profile with each clinical rotation change in schedule. During April, I will be available on the weekends but may also be available in the evenings during the week. I will care for your pet just the same as if it were mine! All I request is your instruction on your guidelines in and out of the house :)
“Taylor did an amazing job housesitting with my four pets while I was away for a weekend! I could not recommend her more and I will absolutely be having her watch my pets again. She was so patient with my skittish dog who was wary of new people. She was excellent at communication. She also left our house in great shape. Thank you Taylor for doing such a great job! 10/10”
About: With over 15 years of pet sitting experience, I provide dependable, compassionate care for animals of all kinds. I’ve also fostered puppies through Unleashed Love Pet Rescue here in West Michigan, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. Animals have always been a part of my life—I’ve had a dog for as long as I can remember—and I truly understand the comfort, companionship, and emotional support they bring. I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether you need drop-in visits, daily walks, or extended stays, you can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and respectful of your pet’s routine. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring, experienced hands. I work Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM, with the flexibility to work remotely when needed. I’m typically in the office Tuesday through Thursday, but my schedule allows me to adjust and be available for your pet’s needs. I care for pets in my home as if they are my own, paying close attention to their body language, routines, and individual needs and preferences. I also provide care in the owner’s home with the same level of attentiveness, respect, and consistency. I treat every home I enter with extreme care, professionalism, and respect.
“Emily went above and beyond with my kitties, Marv and Maisy. First time I’ve used Rover and I was relieved at how much of a good job Emily was doing and giving me amazing daily updates. I haven’t been gone that long and my cats are as normal as they can be when I got home rather than being stand-off ish and hiding. Highly recommend Emily to take care of your pets.”
About: I have cared for a dog for most of my life, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I will treat your animal with the same love, patience, and attention that I gave my own. As a social worker, caring for others is a big part of who I am, and that naturally extends to animals too. I am dependable, gentle, and attentive, and I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I am comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, giving lots of attention, and keeping owners updated while they are away. I work Tuesday through Thursday from 8-3:30. I also have 2 daughters, which is a full time job on its' own! With that being said, my availability would typically be M,F,S,Su 11am-3pm and after 8pm most days. I will care for pets in their own home, where they are already comfortable with their normal routine and environment. I will follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box or potty needs, walks, playtime, and any other specific care requests. I will also make sure doors are secure, pets are safe before I leave, and the home is treated with respect. I am happy to provide updates so owners know their pet is safe, cared for, and doing well while they are away.
“Emerson did a great job watching my dog for a week. She was patient with him while he got comfortable, was responsive whenever I sent a message, and she left my house even cleaner when she left than it was before she arrived.”
About: I provide loving, reliable care and treat every dog like family. I’m attentive to each dog’s unique needs, experienced with puppies and senior dogs, and always keep owners updated for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention to ensure each dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. I follow each pet’s regular routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I also make sure their environment stays clean and safe and keep owners updated with messages and photos while they’re away.

FAQs for House Sitting - New Era
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in New Era on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 122 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Era. 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 Era 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 Era 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 Era 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 Era. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
