“I had to go out of town unexpectedly and had never used a pet sitter before. Jaden responded almost immediately after I messaged on Tuesday, came for a meet and greet on Wednesday, and was sitting with my dog and cats on Thursday. My dog is very suspicious of everything, and not having used a pet sitter before, I was concerned on how she would react. Jaden was very patient with her. He also kept me updated with pictures and messages on how things were progressing, which made me feel much better. I couldn’t be more pleased with how he cared for my pets and would definitely contact him. Thanks Jaden!”
“Kayla is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! We had just moved into the area, so I didn’t know anyone who could watch my baby (dog), Charlie. I was a little nervous originally to leave him with someone new. However, we met Kayla prior to the dog sitting and really liked her so felt very comfortable with having Kayla watch Charlie. She did such a fantastic job- I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was able to stay with Charlie for as long as we needed, gave me frequent updates (and pictures/videos 😍), did everything that I had suggested but didn’t necessarily expect to do in one day-play games with him, walk him, and give him treats. She also followed all of my directions which I really appreciate. Kayla gave my guy so much love and attention, I didn’t even feel guilty for leaving him. He was in great hands! Kayla was the perfect sitter for us and I will be for sure requesting her again for any other needs in the future.”

About: I grew up in a family that loved animals and I've had pets my entire life. I know how hard it is to work long hours or be away from home without them. I have spent the last 18 years working with dogs and cats. I have managed a doggie daycare and boarding facility and worked for a humane society as a community outreach manager and volunteer coordinator. Besides loving on all the pets, I spent my time there teaching animal safety to children and providing basic animal care and dog handling lessons to volunteers. I have fostered puppies and helped feed and care for cats and dogs awaiting adoption. I am pet CPR and first aid certified. I helped socialize shelter dogs by taking them out for walks, car rides, pup cups and patio time at Starbucks. I have always been the friend you call when you need a pet sitter or help with something pet related. I have two dogs and two cats of my own and they bring so much joy to my life! I love being in the company of pets and would love to spend time with yours. I work full-time Monday - Friday and have a hybrid work schedule. I work from home two days per week which gives me more flexibility to care for your pets. I am available before and after work and mid-day during the week and have more availability on the weekends. I have a lot of experience caring for my own pets, foster dogs, and pet sitting for family and friends. My own dogs do best with having a daily routine, so I tend to keep the same schedule for feeding, medication, walks and bedtime. I will do the same for your pets. My goal is to always make sure people feel good about leaving their pets in my care.
“Zandra did an amazing job- our three cats were so well taken care of, we got lots of great updates and our house was spotless on return. We couldn’t ask for more- 10 stars! Thank you Zandra!!!!”
“Evan did such a great job watching our dogs today! This was our first time having him stay with them in our home and he made the whole day so much less stressful for us. He kept us updated with messages and pictures throughout the day, made sure everyone went outside and was comfortable. You can tell he genuinely enjoys animals and cared about making sure they were happy and relaxed. He was also really respectful of our home and even offered to help with chores before leaving which was so thoughtful. We came home to happy pups and would absolutely have Evan watch them again!”
“The bestest!!!!! If you want someone to watch your cats and feel secure they’re being well taken care of, get Hanna!! She is so caring and makes the extra effort to make our babies feel comfortable and content. One of our kitties is very shy and Hanna did a great job of respecting her space but also making sure she’s fed/doing well. The other kitty that loves attention, Hanna made sure to give it to him! In addition, she made sure the water fountain was filled and the litter box clean! We are so appreciative of her and will definitely work with her again and recommend her care!!!”
“Christian was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we met him, we knew Dobby was going to be in wonderful hands—and that he’d found a new best friend. Christian took such great care of him and kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, relaxed, and very loved-on pup! We would absolutely love to have Christian stay in our home with Dobby again and couldn’t recommend him more highly.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats most of my life. I am comfortable with both small and large dogs as well as animals that have dietary restrictions, allergies, or need medication’s. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate special needs or requests, and last minute bookings. I maintain a crate in my SUV and can take your pets to appointments and run errands with them as well. I work from home therefore I can deliver many hours of one on one care for your pet, lots of walks, and lots of playtime
“Our Little Tux is a former feral cat and is very skittish around people other than my husband and me. Becky is a very attentive caregiver and worked with our little gal to ease her stress. We were only gone for a short trip but Becky was able to earn the trust of our young cat so that she came out of hiding. Becky is very responsive and kept us updated with both texts and photos. Thank you, Becky!”
About: I am available all day every week and weekend. I am a very big dog lover and am kind hearted. I enjoy being outside and love being with furry friends. I am recently unemployed. I have had a lot of experience with dogs and grew up with multiple puppies. I lost a large amount of weight in Highschool from walking with my family dog twice everyday, throughout the summer and fall seasons. I believe greatly that animals need to be exercised everyday in order to live a full and happy life. With a willing to travel far distances and the ability to work with all breeds I hope to be a good choice for anyone who needs a dog sitter or dog walker. Thank you.
“Brittany is a gem and we are so grateful we found her. She treats your pets like her own. Dependable, trustworthy and just a nice human. We are so happy we have a sitter for our “not so easy to handle” dog. He loves her and so do we!”
“Isabella was amazing! She went above and beyond with our pets. I enjoyed receiving daily updates and pictures. When I got home, the house was clean, the animals were very happy and very well taken care of. Isabella definitely went the extra mile. I absolutely recommend her.!!”
“Olivia took great care of our girls! Both of our dogs were really comfortable with her right when they first met her. She sent pictures and updates each day which i appreciated. I would book with her again next time we’re out of town!”
“Christine was truly a joy to have and we can not wait to have her back! She was wonderful with Kiera. She even fixed my curtain rod while I was out! This is the "It" girl for dogs :)”
“I must absolutely RAVE about Madison because she took such amazing care of our pets with incredible, consistent communication! Extra special shout-out because our dog, unfortunately, got sick while under Madison's care, and Madison kept me informed of our dog's behavior, current status, and cleaned up all of the messes so thoroughly! We love her and I HIGHLY recommend her!!!❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Market
Kayla housesat our dog who has special needs while we were away. She did an awesome job and was super communicative, sending tons of pictures which we love. Our dog can present unique challenges because of her disease, and this trip was definitely not the easiest due to those issues, and Kayla took the absolute best care of her. She was incredibly patient and made sure to keep us updated about everything. We really appreciated how much care she put into her stay.
Evan is a ROCKSTAR! ⭐️ 100/10 stars! Dobby usually barks when meeting new people, but he took to Evan immediately—which says a lot! Evan was incredibly friendly, thoughtful, and attentive, and he did an amazing job taking care of Dobby and communicating with us throughout the entire stay. We felt completely comfortable knowing Dobby was in such great hands. We will ABSOLUTELY ask for Evan as our first choice every time in the future. Couldn’t recommend him more!

She is the best pet sitter we have ever had. We never worry about the care and love our dogs will receive while we are away. She always sends a lot of pictures and videos and daily notes about each day they spend with her. If your dogs are everything to you and you miss them every second you’re away from them then Shelby will give you peace of mind with her gentle and loving care. She is also great with older animals or ones needing special medical care. You won’t regret hiring her for the care of your beloved animal companion.
Rachel was great. We communicated clearly and concisely upfront what care our 2 dogs required and she was candid about her availability. Rachel was responsive and respectful - she stayed in our home and upon return, our home was in same condition as when we left and our pups clearly had been well cared for by Rachel. I would hire her again without hesitation.

FAQs for House Sitting - New Market
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in New Market on Rover is $49.55 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 941 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Market. 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 Market 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 Market 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 Market 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 Market. 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.
