“Chelsea was amazing! During our meet and greet she asked how often I would like updates which I found very thoughtful, and I got both pictures and videos each update! Chelsea was so kind and even put sheets and towels in the wash before leaving. I’d love to book with Chelsea again!”
About: I grew up training puppy’s and always having a dog/cat in the home. I am a loving dog sitter and will give your dog the care they need! I am an early riser and love to go on walks so your furry friend will get great exercise!! I like schedules and routines, and my house is always very clean! I do not have any animas so there is no issue worrying if they will get along! I live in an apartment right next to a park!

“Emily is the best! We have 2 dogs and we had to go overseas for 10 days and she took care of them wonderfully! They loved her and she was always very professional and caring and we were very glad and happy for having her!😊”
About: I’m a reliable and caring pet lover with 3 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience with sick or elderly cats and dogs and am happy to care for them. I am available every day for petsitting as I only have online classes to handle. I am available weekends however for holidays it may change in the future I can offer a range of services such as daily checkups, walks, feeding, housesitting, medication, playing, etc. I am flexible for the needs of your pet and can manage your schedule/needs.
“Arianna was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly communicative from start to finish, friendly, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She was amazing with our dog and even brought him treats, which was such a thoughtful touch. She sent us lots of pictures and updates, and it was obvious he was happy and well cared for. On top of that, she even did a little light housekeeping, which was completely unexpected and absolutely not necessary, but so appreciated. It was such a kind gesture. We came home to a happy pup and a tidy house, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book Arianna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!”
About: I have furry friends of my own and have been trusted to care for other furry babies of all ages. I love spending time with pets, whether it’s playing, going for walks, cuddling, or simply keeping them company. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I strive to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to help every pet have a happy and enjoyable day. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for pet care in the evenings, on weekends, and whenever my schedule allows. I will always communicate clearly about my availability and do my best to accommodate your furry baby’s needs. I have experience giving pets medication, as two of my own cats previously needed daily medicine. This taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of attentive care. I also know that many pets thrive on love, attention, cuddles, and playtime. I enjoy making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their families are away, and I treat every furry baby like one of my own.
“Marcia is wonderful! Our girls love her visits. She communicates well, sends updates and photos. She has stayed with our dogs in our several times now and we just appreciate her so much.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and originally wanted to become a veterinarian growing up. Now, as a pre-nursing student at AU, I still love having the opportunity to care for others — especially animals. I grew up with a childhood dog that I was completely inseparable from. Even when I was little, I helped feed her, walk her, play with her, and even helped with training. Those experiences are a huge part of why I love pet care so much today. My family now has two dogs that we got while I was in high school, and I love visiting them every chance I get. I’m definitely the type of person who immediately gravitates toward the dog at any social gathering. I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors since I was around 10 years old, and even more frequently once I started driving at 16. I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means going on runs with high-energy dogs or taking slower walks and giving extra comfort and attention to more relaxed pets. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and so loved while their owners are away. I also worked on a ranch last summer where I cared for dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, chickens, and ducks, which gave me even more hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and personalities. Although I didn’t grow up with cats, I’ve done plenty of cat sitting over the years and absolutely love them as well. I know every cat is different, and I’m always patient and attentive to their routines and comfort level. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work a 9–5 job during the week, but I have an hour lunch break that gives me flexibility for walks, check-ins, or midday care. I also usually go on a run in the mornings and take walks after work or after dinner, so I’m very used to staying active and would love bringing a dog along if they enjoy extra exercise. On weekends, I’m available all day and have a much more flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, playtime, or overnight care. I live in a two-level apartment/townhouse with plenty of space for pets to be comfortable and move around. There’s grass right outside for easy bathroom breaks and walks, plus a balcony and a dog park within my apartment complex for extra exercise and playtime. I keep a clean, safe, and calm environment and always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and sticking to their normal routines as much as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the home and the pet’s routine. I know consistency is important for animals, so I always try to keep them comfortable by following feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions closely.
About: I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every dog like they're my own. As a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) student and someone who has worked in a veterinary clinic, I have experience recognizing signs of illness, handling pets safely, administering basic care, and understanding the importance of following medical and behavioral instructions. This background allows me to provide an extra level of confidence and care for pets of all ages. Whether we're going for a walk, playing outside, or relaxing at home, I focus on making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, so I'm happy to follow your instructions to keep them happy and stress-free while you're away. I'm patient with puppies who are still learning and can reinforce basic training and routines. I'm also attentive to senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra care, or medication schedules. I'll also send cute pictures/videos so you know your dog is getting all the attention and love they deserve! As a veterinary student at Auburn, my weekdays are generally structured around classes from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. I'm available for early morning visits and walks before class, as well as evening visits after class. My weekends are much more flexible, allowing me to spend extra time with pets through walks, drop-in visits, or extended care. Caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life, and I enjoy making time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and affection they need. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care your pet needs. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while respecting your home and leaving it just as I found it. As a DVM student with veterinary clinic experience, I'm comfortable recognizing changes in a pet's behavior or health and will communicate any concerns promptly. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in New Harmony on Rover is $22.2 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 195 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Harmony. 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 Harmony 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 Harmony 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 Harmony 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 Harmony. On Rover:
- 100% 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.
