“This was my first time having Brandon watch Gracie. At our meet and greet, Gracie took right to him which is very unusual for her. I'm always nervous leaving my girl with someone new. Brandon was great about keeping me updated with pictures and texts daily. I had a lot of packages delivered while I was gone. Brandon took them all in and neatly put them in the dining room, He waited until I got back home to leave even though I told him he could go before I got there. I would definitely use Brandon again and would recommend him to anyone who needed great dog sitter.”
“This was our first time using a pet sitter and Karla did a great job. She answered all our questions. Karla was on time and respectful of our house. She took excellent care of our dog and two cats. Karla walked our dog and played the laser mouse with all the pets. We received cute pictures of our pets also. We would definitely book Karla again in the future and recommend her to other pet owners.”
“Tarah is very responsive. She sends updates and pictures. She notices any changes in our baby dog. She is always on time and let's us know of any changes. We know our girl is taken care of when Tarah is watching her and gives us a peace of mind knowing she is safe. 5 out of 5 for sure. Highly recommend!”
“Serenity was wonderful. So communicative and there for my animals around the clock. I had a friend drop out at the last minute and was unable to take care of our animals but serenity was ready to take care of them the second I reached out. She has done a great job of taking care of my dog pets needs and making me feel secure in her care. I would definitely recommend her and would love to use her services in the future!”
“Elisa is the sweetest girl. She sent us daily photos and Bella loves her. We were never worried that our baby girl wasn't being well cared for and loved. I highly recommend Elisa if you need someone to care for your fur baby”

“Tatum was awesome. She took the best care of my dogs (5 of them) and my house. Kept me informed of everything including coyotes who broke through the fence and snowfall we had, shoveled a path for our big boy to do his business, Swept the floors and took out trash. She even brought in the mail. We will definitely use her again.”
“Carol was amazing! Sent lots of updates and communicated the entire process while she watched my old fur baby! She was very thorough, flexible and detail oriented and took amazing care of my dog. Would use again . My dog felt right at home with her and I could tell in the pictures he was well taken care of! She goes above and beyond! AMAZING”
“Danni has the sweetest spirt and immediately took to our Gracie Gracie Girl and Indie Boy. She was happy to stay with our Gracie for the day (we SO appreciate that!). When we are gone, Gracie won't eat or go outside (she gets depressed). Imagine our joy and surprise when Danni let us know that Gracie ate all of her dinner and went outside for her!! Danni sent photos and kept us apprised of how the day was going. She has great respect for our home and our wishes for Gracie and we would highly recommend her. Thank you Danni!”
“Tyler was amazing! The pups didn’t seem to miss us at all. She was attentive and provided photos frequently without any prompt. Will definitely be using her again for our pups.”
“Christina took great care of our pets and our home! Even with freezing temps and 6 inches of snow on the ground, she made sure our high energy pup was exercised and entertained. She sent daily updates and always let us know what she had planned for the day. Our house was very tidy when we got home and the animals were very happy.”
About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life, I have experience with cats, bunnies, dogs, ducks, chickens, and snakes! I will give your fur (or feather) baby so much love, they'll hardly notice you're gone! I am currently a freelancer, who is underemployed so I can fit pet care into my day in whatever capacity is needed. I am happy to stay overnight as well. I have pet sat for many notable Dayton figureheads including Mrs. Ohio! My home is not equipped to host dogs, but I will happily come to yours. I am a cardio instructor who loves to be outside, so going on walks will be my favorite part of the day. I will happily play with your pets, and snuggle them on the couch while I read or work on my latest craft project. I am very tidy and will leave your home exactly as I found it.
About: I have been sitting houses, dogs and cats for several years for the majority of my own independently gained clients. While I worked as a housekeeper, I became the go-to sitter for many of them. Even after I quit housekeeping, I have stayed on as their trusted sitter. I have both a cat and dog myself, have raised two litters of pups, and I give my pets an insane amount of lovins through scratches, massages, baby talk, play and car rides to go get doggy ice cream from Ritters, all while singing “you are my sunshine.” This is the same kind of lovins you can expect for your pets to receive, as I am a firm and proud believer that I ought to treat them as I would my very own! I have sat for foster dogs, senior dogs and cats, special needs dogs, dogs with behavioral issues and am familiar with the care of horses and chickens as well. One thing that sets me apart is that I have plenty of time available to give your pet a vacation while you take yours! I work as an esthetician and esthetics instructor 3 days per week, so this allows me to keep my schedule open and flexible for my pet sitting clientele. I have a huge heart for animals, and I trust their instincts and try to be as in tune with them as possible. They really are so sensitive to what’s going on around them and I love learning from them and their observations! I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule as I only work 3 days each week. I don’t mind early mornings, and strive to keep a consistent routine for your pet. I will always send check in photos each day I come, keep things clean and organized, and as close to their normal routine as possible.
About: I train, take care of, and babysit future service dogs in training. I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and have worked with all kinds of breeds, sizes, and types of dogs. I worked at a dog daycare for a semester to improve my knowledge and skills, which included handling and monitoring 15+ dogs at a time, ranging in size and aggression levels, as well as isolating and caring for their individual needs and wants amid the chaos. I love being active and going on long walks, and I love taking the 4 paws dogs on walks while working on the skills they are learning, balancing that with play and relaxation. I'm self-employed and set my own schedule, which makes me flexible and available to others' schedules. Daily walks at parks or in my neighborhood to remain active. As a 4 Paws Sitter and Handler, I encourage bringing dogs into all environments, from stores to libraries, so I usually have a dog by my side throughout daily activities, including studying, shopping, and social events with friends. I'm very adaptable in new environments. I like to keep the pets on their usual routines to avoid creating any stress or new emotions and to keep them as comfortable as possible. No issue with overnight stays if the pet needs more maintenance or attention. I make sure to get a full rundown of any issues to be aware of, as well as maintain skills or rules that the owner has
“Jonathan was great with our pup Rex! Rex seemed to have warmed up to him quickly which is amazing considering how old and grumpy he can be with strangers. Kept us updated and left the house cleaner than we left it! Thank you for loving our boy and giving us peace of mind on our vacation!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Lebanon
Macey did a great job taking care of my finicky Doodle. She was even kind enough to take my dog to her house, with a fenced in yard, so she could run around loose. Everything was fine at my house when I came back home as well. I will definitely call her again when I go out of town.

FAQs for House Sitting - New Lebanon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in New Lebanon on Rover is $27.75 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 849 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Lebanon. 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 Lebanon 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 Lebanon 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 Lebanon 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.

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.
