“Louann took very good care of Lexi. Lexi was glad to see us when we got home, but is missing Louann. I would highly recommend Louann as both a pet sitter as well as a house sitter.”
“This was our first experience with having a pet sitter stay in our home and it was a great one! Marlies checked in with us while we were away, made sure our dog had her medicines on time, left the house in great shape, and was quick to respond when we had questions. Our dog doesn't enjoy being in traditional doggie day care type boarding locations, and Marlies was a great alternative for us!”
“Sabrina continues to be amazing every time we book her! She is great at communicating and always sends pics of our babies. They get so excited when she comes and it makes me so happy and reassured that someone so great is able to care for them while we are away.”
“She was beyond amazing. First trip in as long as I can remember that I did not worry about my dogs. I have a dog with anxiety and normally come back to some sort of destructive behavior and absolutely none with Jayne watching them. Not enough stars to truly express the best sitter who accommodated what we needed”
“Carla is a fantastic dog and house sitter! Reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. We came home to a happy dog and a tidy house. Highly recommend and will definitely book again.”
“Finding Addison was truly a blessing. Our original pet sitting plans fell through at the very last minute, and I was so fortunate to find her when I did. From the moment I met her, I just had a great feeling. She has such a kind, calming personality, and all of my dogs immediately took to her—which never happens! They’re usually very reserved with new people and take time to warm up, but with Addison it was instant. That alone gave me so much confidence. Throughout our trip, Addison kept me updated every single day without me ever having to ask. She sent photos, shared what the dogs and cats were up to, and made me feel like I was right there with them. She followed every instruction perfectly and honestly went above and beyond in so many ways. One of the sweetest surprises was coming home to little things she had done around the house that I never asked her to do. She even emptied the dishwasher and put all the dishes away. When I thanked her, she said her mom always taught her that after a trip, people should come home to a clean house so they can truly relax. That really touched me. Kudos to Addison—and to her mom—for raising such an incredible young woman. The greatest gift she gave me was peace of mind. Knowing my dogs and cats were loved, cared for, and genuinely enjoying their time with her allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation without worrying about them. That’s priceless. I already have another trip planned, and Addison will absolutely be my first choice. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She exceeded every expectation, and I am beyond grateful to have found her.”
“Regina is such an amazing dog sitter! She loves her clients and their humans too. Regina took care of our pups who have lots of medicine and high maintenance routines without skipping-a-beat. While we’re gone, she stays in touch and sends us photos and videos too. We would recommend her all day every day!”
“Andrew did an outstanding job caring for our dogs, Brody and Gus.He was extremely responsive, sent daily updates with photos, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our fur babies were well cared for, happy, and loved throughout our trip. Knowing Andrew was watching them allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our travels without worrying. We came home to two happy dogs and a well-cared-for home. We highly recommend Andrew and will absolutely be using him again in the future!”
“Connor did a great job in getting Bella comfortable with him for his first sit. He sent photos daily, promptly answered my messages and left the house in excellent condition. I will use his service again.”
“Courtney was a wonderful dog sitter that we would recommend to anyone looking for the best care for their pets. Courtney went above and beyond to make sure our pets were safe and cared for and keeping constant communication throughout the week on how they were doing.”
“Monique was great! Had a last minute hiccup come up, but Monique was flexible and worked around issue to make sure she was still able to care for Wyatt. Super responsive. Very consistent and timely in providing updates and photos. Could tell she was going to be very sweet w/ Wyatt upon meeting her, and I was right. 10/10 recommend”
“Amy was fantastic! She sent pictures of the cats and updated me regularly on them. Absolutely would recommend her for pet sitting and will book her again on my next trip. Nothing is better than having peace of mind that my pets are cared for when I'm out of town.”
“Alexa always does a great job! She is excellent at communication and always keeps me updated while we’re away. My dog and very shy cat adore her, and I appreciate how reliable she is!”
“Maria was an amazing dog sitter. She took care of my 5 dogs and all were healthy and happy when we got home. She even cleaned up after herself and my which she didn’t have to do. Gave me daily reports too. I will always use her to take care of my babies.”
About: I have 9 years of pet care experience with my own dog, other people's animals, and as a volunteer at the SPCA of Texas. I have taken care of many animals in my years of pet sitting in including dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, and guinea pigs. It is not easy for animals to scare me. I'm currently working a part time at a veterinary hospital and going to school part time. I'm not a very busy person, so I will have plenty of extra time to look after your furry little family member. I keep dogs on a leash at all times when walking. I like to follow a list with times for when certain things need to be done. I like to try and keep a schedule that is close to what each pet is used to on a daily basis.
“We were very happy with Joleen’s care of our cat and house while we were away. She took such great care of Kit Kit who is not the most social or friendliest cat around, otherwise known as a PIA. We received picture updates and were so surprised how she had the cat eating out of her hand in no time. The house was immaculate when we returned… we couldn’t ask for anything more. You will never want to use anybody else!”
“Emily is a wonderful caretaker. She was very sweet with our pups, showered them with affection and attention. We had to cut our trip short but she was extremely flexible and supportive. I would love to use Emily again in the future.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in New Hope is $50
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - New Hope
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in New Hope on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,518 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
