About: Suz and Brian have both been lifelong pet parents. Suz worked for a pet hospital for years and almost all of our pets over the last 20 years have been special needs rescue babies.(diabetic, blind, deaf, liver shunt, dementia, cancer, etc) This means we are well versed in special needs care for your special needs kiddos. Pills, SubQ injections, SubQ fluids, bandage changes, glucose testing, Suz works remotely from home, available to our boarded pets as needed through the day for loves, medicine, etc. Brian, who does our house/pet sitting services, currently works outside of the home so goes to and from work directly to/from your home. Ensuring you are comfortable with who is caring for your pet(s) is second only to your pet(s) safety and well being in our care! Cat boarding: since we have a cat of our own and we know other cats may not be open to meeting her (she is ok with others.. mostly ignores them) so we have a dedicated cat boarding room where she cannot go near them if you wish. Our yard has no grass (rock and astroturf) so no nasty ticks riding our coattails into the home to come in contact with your kitty. Brian is available for drop in care or overnight boarding in your home for dogs and/or cats. This is what we prefer for our own pets when we are away, maintaining their routines etc as best as possible, so want to be sure you have this option too! All of our personal pets are fully vaccinated and receive regular flea treatment.
About: I’ve been a lifelong pet owner to both dogs and cats, which has given me a deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs. I also gained hands-on experience working at an animal day care facility, where I cared for pets of all sizes and temperaments. In addition, I’ve provided pet sitting for family and friends, building trust through reliable and loving care. My background ensures your pets will feel safe, happy, and well-cared for while you’re away. I currently offer house stays, walks, and drop in visits any day of the week. Since I work part-time, I have plenty of flexibility and time to give your pets the attention, care, and love they deserve. I’ve always had a true love for animals, and caring for them is something that brings me so much joy. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just giving them comfort and attention, I enjoy every moment I get to spend with pets. My goal is to provide excellent, trustworthy care so both you and your furry friends feel happy and at ease.
About: I have always loved animals. Had dogs and cats growing up. Would always want to take the stray home or help the wounded ones. Over the years my family and I have had numerous dogs, rats, hamsters, cats fish goats and chickens I work full time but have time before and after work to feed, walk, play or just sit and hang out with your animals. I can also come and visit during my lunch breaks. I'm happy to stay overnight in your home or have your fur baby stay with me! I have a ½ acre that is completely fenced out in the country. lots of room for your dog to run. I can also stay at your home if that's where your animals are most comfortable. I will make sure they are fed and always have water available. I want your dog to feel like they are at home and safe
“Elizabeth looked after Pepper, our Boston terrier for 25 days - not a small amount of time - and the longest period we'd been apart. Elizabeth was great - we got regular photo's and updates. Pepper was happy and in great shape when we came home and the house was immaculate. Elizabeth was lovely, and really took care of Pepper and we're very thankful for her looking after Pepper on quite short notice for so long over the holiday period. Will definitely be looking to Elizabeth as our go-to siter in future. Thank you!!”
About: I work from home so I will have plenty of time to spend with your dog. I enjoy long walks and giving plenty of playtime and cuddle time! I have over 20yrs of experience with dogs of all ages. I have experience with emergency as well! Your dog will be in the best care possible to keep your mind at ease! Thank you! I work from home and can schedule my day around yours. I am very reliable and have transportation. I can be available anytime you need. I can spend as much time as you need caring for your dog/cat. I rarely have time restrictions and I am highly trained in animal care.
“I will definately be booking Asha again! She was great! And i could tell Hazel and Caroline were happy with her as well. She stayed in touch and kept us updated complete with pictures! I was very comfortable knowing Asha was there! Five stars + for Asha!”
“Kristina and winter are awesome. Kristina understood the assignment of working dogs and killed it. Good communication, problem solver, and the dogs were still alive when I returned. Winter provided a job for Siouxxsie and Saxxon which kept them busy looking out for him. Definitely a keeper house sitting duo”
“I couldn’t have asked for better person to watch our girl, Chutney. Sandra is kind and conscientious. Our muppet received lots of love, cuddles, belly rubs and playtime during our absence. The house was immaculate upon our return and Sandra went beyond expectation when an unexpected plumbing issue required attention Communication was excellent.”
“I give five stars to Cierra. When I returned my house was in great shape and my dogs were happy and healthy. Cierra went above and beyond my expectations. I will definitely will seek her out the next time I need a sitter.”
About: I have over 6 years experience of house/pet sitting(from another website) caring for a variety of animals, fish, dogs, birds, cats, goats, a donkey, a llama and chickens. I am comfortable and confident with almost all domestic animals. I am a retired Registered Nurse with over 30 years experience in various fields of medicine. I am now a full time house and pet sitter travelling around(by car) the continental US and Canada caring for other's beloved fur family. My past nursing experience plus my 6 years of house/pet sitting has made me highly observant and attentive to the smallest details. While I am calm and easygoing I am also excellent in challenging and emergency situations being both independent and self reliant. I love dogs and cats but do not have any of my own due to my gypsy like lifestyle. I have traveled a fair bit in my life having a curious mind and a zest for learning and experiencing new things. I am very neat and clean.....so your home will be just as you left it while respecting your property.

The average cost of House Sitting in New Hope is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $54 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 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
