“Marlies is a rare find! She took great care of our dog and elderly cat while we were gone for 9 days. Not only were the animals well cared for but she even left the house spotless! Highly recommend this care giver!!”
“Amy did a wonderful job with our 2 dogs, and also took on some kittens I was fostering! She met with us and the dogs beforehand so they were familiar with her, and now consider her one of their best friends! House immaculate, mail brought in… highly recommend Amy.”
“Pebbles is shy and takes awhile to warm up to you, Maria was very patient and let Pebbles slowly warm up to her, by the end of the weekend Maria was able to give Pebbles belly rubs. They are becoming pals. The house was clean, dishes and laundry was done. I would recommend Maria and will use her again”

“We had such a great experience! Tori took wonderful care of our dog, Kobe, while we were away. She was very communicative, sent updates, and made sure he was comfortable the entire time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We would absolutely book again!”

About: I fell in love with & have been taking care of animals since I was 8 years old. The majority of my experience is with dogs and cats but I also have experience with caring for rabbits, cows, and horses. Our pets are our family and will be treated as such with me. I love taking and sharing pics of furbabies! I work from home and will have lots of time to spend with and care for your pet. I’m conveniently located next to Towne Lake in McKinney for peaceful walks. I have an apartment and work from home full time. I’ll be available to take pets on walks as much as needed or just for fun.
About: Hello there! My name is Sannam and I am 32 years old originally from Dallas, Texas. I am currently taking a gap year from school. I have plenty of experience being around animals especially since I worked in two different animal hospitals in Oregon when I lived there. I have a 8 year old Rottweiler mix who is super friendly and loves to play with any dog. I look forward to working with you and your furry friends soon! I am currently working part time so have plenty of time to spend with your loved furry one. I usually work 3 days a week. I follow clear instructions given by the owner of the pet. If your pet is staying with me I will make them welcome at my home and make sure the stay is filled with joy.
“Jamie was amazing. Ale hike we were away there were some unexpected things happened and she handled it all beautifully. My house was clean and my dogs were happy when we returned from a weeks vacation. Jamie is amazing and highly worth her rate!”
About: I'm an old sould who loves dogs and looking to enjoy working with dogs and caring for them! I do have a full-time job, but I truly enjoy meeting other pups and also watching my dog make friends with others. I do my best to care for other dogs as though I care for mine. I do work a full-time job so I try to spend a lot of time with my pup on my days off and go on walks every morning and evening I care very much about the safety of my own pet as well as others. I do have a fenced yard that is small but is still big enough to run around and get out all the zoomies
About: i’ve been an animal lover for as long as i can remember ! i grew up in a home where we always had dogs, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. i have over 10 years of experience with dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets. i’m also a proud cat mom to my three babies, kiwi, cheese, and lydia! i’ve definitely become a bit of a crazy cat lady, but dogs will always have my heart too. i love my goofy, one of a kind mutts just as much as i appreciate the history and unique personalities of purebred animals. honestly, i just love them all! i’ve also been involved with smu’s campus cat community, helping feed community cats and participating in tnr efforts. my favorite part was finding mama cats and their tiny babies ! keeping up with all those feedings wasn’t always easy, but it was so rewarding . ♡ i’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, bathing, basic training reinforcement, litter box care, and administering medications as instructed . i hate making the babies uncomfortable during medicine time, but keeping them healthy always comes first ! i’m also really big on communication and respecting each family’s rules ! every household is different . some families don’t mind their cats jumping on counters, while others don’t want those habits forming, and i completely understand both\! just let me know your preferences, routines, and little house rules, and i’ll do my best to keep everything consistent while you’re away. i’ll also happily send pictures and updates so you know your babies are doing well! Schedule: I’m currently working part time and have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to care for cats throughout the day. I regularly help care for SMU’s feral cat community, so I’m used to feeding, socializing, and checking on cats at different times. I’m available for visits and drop ins most weekdays after 2 PM and weekends all day. I prioritize a safe, calm, and clean environment for every pet and always follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any specific care instructions. I make sure spaces are secure, remove hazards, and monitor pets for any changes in behavior. I currently have a puppy (a bichonpoo) and understand the importance of both love and structure. My motto is “life is too short let them sleep on the bed,” but I also believe discipline is key in shaping well behaved dogs. I’m happy to bring my puppy along for companionship if approved, but I always ask first since I respect that every pet and owner has different boundaries.
About: Hi! I absolutely love dogs. Have a two year old medium/small sized dog who loves play dates but also doesn’t mind staying in another room if other dogs aren’t friendly! She also doesn’t bother other dogs unless they come up to her to play. I will treat your dog as if it were my own. I work part time during the week, twice a week on a random schedule for around 7 hours or less and home all night. Weekends are completely free. I live in a very nice area, can go for walks, go to the dog park, my dog loves playing with other dogs, and i have a crate.
About: Hi, I am Molly! I have owned several dogs throughout my life, and currently own an adorable Pit-bull and Boxer mix. I also have experience with cats because my roommate currently has too and I help her with caring for them. I have been pet sitting and walking dogs for years. I have also volunteered at the SPCA in Houston many times. I also currently work for wag so you know i have experience. I have only ever received 5 star ratings, and almost everybody leaves reviews saying how great I am with their dogs. I will treat your furry friends as if they are my own. This means that they will be receiving all the love in the world. I am currently a graduate student at SFA
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, and my love for them has only grown. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, and everything in between—including my own dog through his golden years. I know every dog is unique, and I’m here to give them the personalized care they need! I’m a full-time, stay at home Wife! Therefore, I have the rare flexibility to offer round-the-clock care for your pet. Your dog will receive my full attention throughout the day—whether it’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or evening snuggles. I no longer have any dogs of my own, which means my home is a calm, pet-free space—ideal for pets who may prefer one-on-one care. I only care for one dog at a time (unless both are from the same family), so your pet gets personalized attention and never has to compete for love or space. I completely understand that trusting someone new with your pets can be unnerving. I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or my client’s home. I create a comfortable, stress-free environment by following their routine, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. From daily walks and feeding to administering medication or providing extra attention for puppies and senior dogs!
About: Ive not only taken care of my own pets but I have also taken care of my friend’s and family’s and I know and understand the value of them as they aren't only pets but family and I will make sure I give them the love, respect, and care that a family member would deserve!!! Im currently enrolled in high-school and working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with and take care of your furry babies!!! I will adhere to any rules and or particular necessities that your pet has, In order to give your pets the best care and make sure they feel loved and happy!!!
“Couldn't ask for a better sitter for our Walter! She even sent us daily photo updates. She stayed with him and that helped so the house was not empty while we were gone! Super sweet young lady!!! We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have 8 years of pet care experience and a genuine love for dogs of all personalities and sizes. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and quirks. I’m comfortable with energetic pups who need playtime and attention, as well as dogs who prefer a slower pace and lots of cuddles. I believe in providing a safe, patient, and loving environment where every dog feels comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and keeping your dog on their usual routine. I’ll treat your furry family member like my own and make sure they get plenty of love while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I can coordinate visits, walks, and pet-sitting around your dog’s needs and routine. I’m happy to discuss availability in advance to find a schedule that works best for you and your furry family member! As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I prioritize a safe, clean, and comfortable environment and always follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and daily routines. I’ll take the time to understand your dog’s personality, boundaries, and needs. I’ll also keep you updated during their stay so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is receiving attentive, loving care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Hope
We had a wonderful experience with Regina! This was our first time leaving our senior Newfoundland with someone new, and she immediately put us at ease. She was kind, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and well looked after. Bruno has a few special needs and routines, and she was patient, asked great questions, and followed instructions carefully. We received updates while we were away, which gave us tremendous peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our evening knowing he was in good hands. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, and that’s the best review we can give. We would absolutely trust her with Bruno again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.
Such a great experience with Kelsey! From start to finish, the communication was excellent—she checked in regularly, sent photos, and kept us updated so we always knew our dog was happy and cared for. It gave me total peace of mind while we were away. She treated our home respectfully and made sure our dog kept to their normal routine, which I really appreciated. My family and I came back to a relaxed, well-loved pup and a tidy home. We’ll absolutely be booking again for future trips! 🐶💛

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in New Hope is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 3,358 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 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 Hope. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
