About: I’ve taken care of other family members pets, neighbors, and friends for as long as I can remember. Along with growing up with my own my pets by side I work a full time job therefore Monday-Friday I am only available during the evenings. Saturday-Sunday my schedule is open to all hours provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs.

Kendyl is so sweet! I’m so happy she was the best Rover recommendation! She took pictures of the kitties, even the hiding out kitty! I love that she came over before the dates of her help here! I didn’t have one uncomfortable minute while I was away, knowing that Kendyl has things under control!

Alyssa did an amazing job with Lola. This was our first time using Rover so I was nervous but Alyssa gave me reassurance and helped me feel comfortable. Lola enjoyed her time with her and will definitely be booking with Alyssa again!

About: Caring for animals has never been just a job for me, it's something I genuinely love. Over the years I've cared for pets and animals in many settings, from shelters, to nature centers, and private homes. Each experience has taught me how deeply animals and pets rely on trust, patience, and kindness. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sitting quietly beside a shy pet. I make it my goal to give them the same love and comfort they'd get from their own family. Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily and weekly routine, and I prioritize it alongside my professional goals. While I am currently seeking full-time employment, I remain committed to providing consistent and reliable care for the pets I look after. I structure my schedule to ensure that feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins are never compromised. When caring for pet stays in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable and safe in a clean, pet-friendly environment. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while keeping routines consistent with what they're use to. When caring for pets in clients homes, I respect both the pet's routine and the clients space. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to medications, while keeping the home tidy, and secure. I focus on making pets feel at ease while their owners are away by maintain their normal environment and daily habits.

Abigail did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats. She followed all our directions and adapted to one of our cats not wanting to come out to eat. She spent time getting to know them and played with Lavender, who doesn’t always want to play. I highly recommend her to care for your animals, she will do a great job!

About: I have three dogs of myself and a rabbit! I’m previously from Arizona and I’ve had dogs for longer than I can remember. I have experience in taking care of elderly dogs (14+). Currently two of my dogs are with me in VA. I make sure to remove and sterilize shoes before entering the home. Just reach out and we can shot some time around and do a meet and great! Im a graduate student and my schedule is relatively free at the moment. Any type of changes to my schedule will be communicated. I can give more concrete times when given exact dates. I don't take pets in my home due to having two dogs myself. I make sure to sterilize shoes and hands before entering premises as a precaution for dogs with sensitive health.

About: I have always had dogs in my life and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. For over a year I have volunteered at an animal shelter where I regularly walk, spend time with, and care for dogs with a variety of behaviors and energy levels. I have also dog sat multiple times, both by welcoming dogs into my home and caring for pets in their own homes. As a graduate student, I have developed strong responsibility, communication, and time-management skills, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to pet care. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, whether that means walks, playtime, drop-in visits, or keeping pets company. I make it a priority to provide reliable care and make sure pets receive attention, exercise, and consistency in their routine. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, and I always strive to make them feel comfortable and secure. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and behaviors through both pet sitting and volunteering at an animal shelter. I carefully follow owners’ instructions, maintain a safe environment, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while keeping owners updated along the way.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for most of my life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’m a dog owner myself and have experience raising and caring for puppies, including feeding, bathing, basic training, maintaining routines, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and comfortable following detailed instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, and individual preferences. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or simply wants someone to cuddle with, I’m happy to adapt my care to what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and extended care depending on your pet’s normal routine. I’m also happy to discuss specific scheduling needs and do my best to provide consistency so your pet can maintain the routine they’re accustomed to. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walking, medications, crate routines, household rules, and any special needs. I pay close attention to behavior and body language and take the time to help pets feel comfortable with me rather than forcing interaction. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their pet and their property and make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety measures are secure. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and receiving plenty of attention.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in New Market on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 319 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across New Market. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a New Market stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Market. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% 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.

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.
