“Lindsey was super communicative and shared great updates of our pups while we were gone. They also were very willing to do a pre-book meet and greet to make sure everyone got along. They left the house in clean order and took care of the weekly trash pick up as requested. We'll definitely be booking them again!”
“Kate was absolutely amazing with our pups! She sent us videos and photos with updates the entire time we were away and never hesitated to reach out to us with questions or clarifications about caring for our pups. :) It made our time away enjoyable and stress free since we knew Kate was taking care of them and loving on them for us. I highly recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs!”
“Mackenzie was wonderful. My kitties are very very shy and easily scared. I’ve come to the conclusion that Mackenzie is a “ cat whisperer.” She has veterinary knowledge and is very gentle in her approach with the kitties. As a nervous cat mom, I have been hesitant to go out of town, but now that Mackenzie is on board, I will feel more confident to travel.”
“Aspen is such a great house sitter! Our pups were well taken care of and given all the overnight cuddles they needed. Thank you so much Aspen for keeping our dogs and our home safe.”
“Matt did a terrific job caring for my senior Great Dane, Fred. I was very relieved to be able to go on my trip and not be concerned or feeling stressed about my pet and the care he was receiving. The entire week went smoothly and Matt kept me informed how things were going at home. I definitely will use Matt’s services again when my plans call for someone to stay and care for Fred when travel becomes necessary for me. Thank you Matt for excellent service”
About: Hi, I’m Michelle! I grew up in Mexico with animals around me for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, hamsters, and turtles. My brother even had snakes and spiders! Animals have always been part of our family, and I believe caring for them starts with both love and respect. I’m a cat person at heart. Connecting with a cat feels special to me, whether we click right away or need a little time to get to know each other. I’ve also lived with dogs my whole life, and I love their company. A walk through a beautiful park always helps me relax, and it’s even better with a dog by my side. I’m a graphic designer, so I spend a lot of time on my laptop. Outside of work, I enjoy watching movies, exploring parks, hiking, and practicing yoga. I also love visiting museums and galleries whenever I get the chance. I’m new to Rover, and I’d love to meet you and your pets! I’m punctual, tidy, and happy to follow the routines that help them feel at home. Pets are family, and I know how much it means to have someone you can count on looking after them. My days usually include a mix of design work on my computer and getting outside for a walk. Pet care fits nicely into that rhythm, and I enjoy having animals around while i'm working. Before we book, let’s talk about your pet’s usual day—when they eat, when they go out, and how much company they need. I’ll let you know what my schedule looks like so we can make sure it works for everyone. I’ll follow your instructions, keep their food and water areas clean, stay on top of litter boxes, and be careful with doors, gates, and leashes. I’m tidy myself, so I’ll treat your home with care. I’m most comfortable with friendly pets, but they don’t have to love me right away! I’m happy to give them space and let them come to me. I’ll send photos and little updates while you’re away, and reach out if anything seems off.
“Jin was very kind and professional, provided an appropriate amount of updates and photos, and was very responsive with excellent communication. Would definitely recommend!”
About: Hello! My name is Rahul (say the “h”). I have had experiences with all kind of dogs. I feel there no need for a preference. Every dog can be loved. I know how hard it is to find a good sitter for your pets and that is why I wanted to do this.I've always had dog(s) in my household growing up. I've seen them all, hyper dogs, lazy dogs, mean dogs, social dogs, and dogs that think that they're human. In my experience in dealing with all of these personalities I've noticed one trait that is essential in dog-care, patience. Patience is something that I have no shortage of, I've seen it all. I am are looking forward to helping you and your family! Can’t wait to take care of your pet! As a full-time Doctor of Physical Therapy student, I have a structured schedule that gives me flexibility throughout the week for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Spending time with pets is a great way for me to take a break from studying, get outside, and stay active, so it's something I genuinely look forward to. I'm committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative. Whether you need someone to walk your dog, check in on your pets during the day, or stay in your home while you're away on vacation, I'll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I know that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and any special instructions before caring for them. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible—from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and cuddles. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. For dog walks, I prioritize safe routes, secure leashing, and positive interactions with people and other animals. I always pay close attention to your dog's body language and energy level to make sure they're comfortable and having a great time. Communication is important to me, so I'll send regular updates and photos during each visit or stay. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is being cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine attention.

“Erin was wondering! Very accommodating and responsive. Clearly read through our instructions and sent photos throughout her stay. Will definitely be using again!”
About: I grew up having many animals and have had cats and dogs my entire life. I love talking care of animals as well as going on walks! I also live on a farm with many different animals! I just graduated college so my schedule if pretty clear! I do catering some weekends so weekdays I am usually more free. I am also available any time of day! I live on a farm with many types of animals including chickens. I am able to have pets at my home but they need to be able to get along with chickens and other animals.
“Frank took great care of Ziggy and Leia and our fishies/plants! Our apartment was super clean when we came home and it was clear that they spent a great deal of attention and care to our home and our babies. I would definitely hire them again!”
“Kourtney is the best dog sitter! She is reliable, kind, caring, dedicated, and experienced, and our dog Finn loved hanging out with her! Kourtney met us prior to our trip to get acquainted and understand more about Finn, she gave us a questionnaire and asked important questions. During her stay she was very respectful of our home, and sent us daily photos and updates. She talked to Finn and kept him company, walked him, and took great care of him! We are so grateful for Kourtney and the wonderful, exceptional care she provided! Thank you so much, Kourtney!”
“Jordan is literally amazing! She did so well with our fur babies! They loved her. Came home to a spotless house happy dogs and I couldn’t have been more pleased! Will definitely be using her again!”
“Starla saved our butts when we desperately needed a sitter. My wife and I were travelling out of town, and it just so happened that we had no one available to watch our reactive dog, Momo. We had just moved to the area and were wary of Momo's comfort, but Starla was more than happy to meet Momo and get her comfortable with her. On our trip, Starla sent constant updates, and Momo seemed super at ease and happy with Starla. While we were busy on our trip, it was fantastic knowing Momo was taken care of. We came home to a happy and healthy dog. Thank you again, Starla!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Era
Parrish is so good with our boys and gives us such peace of mind when we’re gone. Parrish looked after Sunday and Stoli when my wife and I got married and we didn’t worry at all. It allowed us to be 100% present and enjoy our experience. She kept the boys’ routines regular and when we came back you could tell they had been attended to and loved on which makes us so happy. While not necessary or expected, Parrish also kept the house super clean. We came back to a spotless house which was such a treat after a long trip. Parrish is a great one, you can’t go wrong with her. Thanks again Parrish!!!

The average cost of House Sitting in New Era is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $67 per night.

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 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.
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
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
