“Samantha was wonderful! Very communicative and took notes when first meeting our animals. Left our house in lovely condition and was very respectful! Our animals were well cared for when we got back. Even our shy cat came out to say hello and get pets!”
“Autumn was incredible! She had 5 star communication and provided an incredible experience for our dog while we were out of town! Highly recommend and hope to book with her again!”
“Emerson was very communicative and shared regular photos of the pets, which I enjoy. He was also very helpful with some unexpected mail deliveries and minor house issues as well.”
“Kendra is incredible! She does such a great job of watching our dog Tazer and we love getting the photos that she sends throughout the days we’re away! We sleep well knowing that Kendra is taking care of Tazer. Kendra is reliable, professional and very trustworthy! We are so grateful for her! ❤️🐾”
“Huge thank you to Jamie for taking care of our 2 girls while we were on our honeymoon! We have very high energy, anxious dogs that are not always the easiest to manage. It was evident how patient Jamie was with them since by the end of the week she was sending us photos of our dogs resting and snuggling with her! Thanks again!”
“Karen always takes such great care of Mika and our home! I can tell Mika is so happy by the photos she sends, and our home always feels so good when we get home. We are very grateful for Karen!”
“August was great with my Asher boy and I definitely would use them again in the future! It was my first time using Rover so I was definitely a little skeptical and anxious, but they made sure to ease my anxiety by sending me frequent pictures and updates. I do feel like he was really well cared for and she also left my home in great condition and was respectful of my desires. Would recommend :)”
“Connie is an incredible house/Cat Sitter. She took care of our kitty like she was her own and did the same with our home.. Every day we got pictures and videos and could tell that Connie was really interacting successfully with our somewhat shy, sweet pet. We could not recommend her more highly! She is a gem!!”
“Isabella was great with our 3 month old puppy! She sent us pictures and was very communicative and gave us updates while we’re were away. Thank you for taking care of our little guy and we hope to work with you again soon!”
“Jade is great! We can’t wait to have her take care of our dog Maya again. Jade was very understanding and accommodating as was the first time we had someone other than family or friends watch Maya. I would recommend her to anyone on Rover.”
“Our two pups loved Tierney. She overcame their anxious door barking finding a way to their hearts: outlasting Zaylee’s car hesitancy to take her (and her brother) to a favorite park, walking them around the neighborhood and spending the night with them to build comfort them while we were away. Great experience!”
“Grace was awesome with our dog Cooper!! He is timid around strangers. She spent time approaching him in our meet and greet and made all of us feel at ease. Grace took great care of him while we were out of town. We so appreciate the daily updates and pics! Highly recommend!”
“So many pictures and a very happy kitty :) Ciboney even took the time to wash our sheets before we came back home since we booked house sitting. Will definitely book again!”
“Jennifer did a wonderful job dog and house sitting with our senior dog, Riley. We are grateful she works from home and could be at our house while we were gone. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I grew up on a farm and have fiercely loved all the pets I've ever had. I have lots of empathy for pets, especially when they have to be separated from their family. I'm a stay home mom, so pet care fits right into my routine. I'm mostly home 24/7, so I have lots of time to play and cuddle. I have a good sized fenced in backyard. We have two friendly (and sometimes shy) cats who get along well with dogs and other cats.
The median cost per night for house sitting in New Hope is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Hope
Carol was amazing!! She stayed at our home for 3 nights and took great care of our 2 dogs. She provided us with multiple updates and we came home to tired and well cared for pups. She was super easy to work with and would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to others!!
Andy was amazing with Snipper! She took such great care of her and made sure she was happy and comfortable the entire time. It was clear that Andy spent a lot of time playing with Snipper and giving her plenty of attention, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing Snipper was in such good hands. I highly recommend Andy to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you so much, Andy!
Jamie was great with our dogs! She was extremely attentive and gave them lots of walks. We got lots of updates and pictures from her, which is always appreciated. She also left the house spotless, which was such a nice thing to return home to! I would definitely recommend Jamie again for anyone looking for someone to watch their dogs!
Kennedy stayed with our 8 yo lab at our home this past week and we would definitely like to have her back for upcoming trips! She was comfortable administering meds, took him on walks and communicated with us how he was doing. Great experience! Thanks, Kennedy!

FAQs for House Sitting - New Hope
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in New Hope on Rover is $53.39 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 3,500 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Hope. 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 Hope 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 Hope 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 Hope 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 Hope. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
