“Kaela is an exceptional pet sitter. She is incredibly kind, communicative, and dependable. She always treats my dogs with excellent care and genuine attention, and I can tell they’re comfortable and happy with her. Kaela is also very respectful of my home, leaving everything just as she found it. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“This was my first time using Rover and having someone I didn’t know dog/house sit. Alissia was super sweet! She came over before our trip so we could have her meet our dog and show her around the house. She was very communicative throughout her stay! I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her! 🐶❤️”
“This is the second booking we have done with Bethany this year. She communicates well, send pics and video, and has done well buddying up with one of our reluctant dogs.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, and I often pet sit for friends and family. When I am visiting anyone with a dog they typically get most of my attention! I work full time during the week, however I am free most all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I do have some evening availability during the week from 5 pm to 8 pm. I will treat your house and your pet with the utmost care and consideration. I would love to drop by and walk your dog, and will be happy to give you a detailed report
About: My years of having and loving cats and dogs of different types has prepared me to be qualified to love and care for yours when you have a need. I am retired from the Army and Retail Distribution. I enjoy my travel time and socializing time, but want to be useful in a way that would absolutely bring me joy. Being with fur babies of the canine and feline variety would be fun. I can tailor my time to your needs. I can come to you so that your loved one does not need to be put in an environment they're not familiar with. Play time, cuddle time, walks, all no problem. I treat them as safely and lovingly as I do my own.
About: I am new to professional dog walking but have personal experience with many different type of dog breeds and personalities. I am comfortable with large and small dog breeds, and I am dedicated to working with your dog if they are still unsure of walks or excitable! I am a stay at home mom and have availability throughout the days and evenings besides short periods of when I take my fiancé to his classes. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routines, respecting their personalities, and making sure they have plenty of attention and care suited to their needs. I will follow the owner's instructions for feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and other daily needs. I understand that some pets love extra cuddles and attention, while others prefer their space, and I’m happy to respect those boundaries. I’ll keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their furry family members are in good hands. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away!
“After moving to a new town, it was important to us to find a pet sitter we can trust. After searching around town and meeting a few people, Foxy was the obvious choice. Our dog, who is generally afraid and reactive upon first meeting people and dogs, was comfortable with her immediately. She was gentle with him and had a calming/reassuring tone. We were nervous about booking, but she instilled confidence that we could go away without worry. Throughout our trip, she sent pictures and communicated their adventures every day. Where normally when we come home Prince acts like we abandoned him, this time he was just happy to see us. It was like he genuinely had an enjoyable visit with Foxy. She did what she said she would do and more. We will absolutely use her again!”
About: I have had my home base business for over 20 years and I'm looking to try something new. I have been a dog owner my entire life. I currently have 3 small dogs. I have ample time and desire to be a pet/house sitter on Rover. I love all pets, especially dogs and cats. Not a big fan of snakes. Please reach out to me, lets chat. My work is seasonal, meaning I mostly work from Spring to Fall. WIth my season coming to an end, I am looking to branch out and try something new. I have always loved animals so Rover seems like a great fit. I have a lot of free time heading into the winter. I have a 4 wheel drive vehicle so snow and ice wont stop me. I have 3 dogs. One is 13, one is 2 and the baby is 11 months. I also have 2 grown children who live at home. When I am at home working, my dogs are the shop with me. My shop is a 2 car garage and a fenced in yard. They stay outside with me most of the day with 2 breaks for naps in their private room. In the summer, they have a pool and plenty of shade. Their safely and comfort is important to me as is their need for play time, walks and lots of hugs and scratches. I am used to having a puppy around and cleaning up messes. As your pet sitter, I will never bring my dogs along with me. They have a dad at home to take care of them. My schedule is very flexible and I understand the need for help with pets. My seasonal job requires me to travel in the summer and getting pet sitters is sometimes tricky. I guess I should say, getting a trust worthy pet sitter who is going to deliver on her promises can be tricky.
“Kelsie was an amazing dog watcher! She took care of our fur baby exactly as we had asked her to, even gave her medication that was prescribed by the vet. Kelsie also left our house exactly the way she found it. Will 100% book her again!”
About: I’ve had multiple dogs and cats ever since I was young. I love taking care of them. I have so much love in my heart for animals I try to put pets as my first priority. They are like humans. They need as much attention as we people do. They need love and time with you Any pets I have taken care of have always been loved and cherished. No pet left behind. When I had my dogs they would always get so much attention from me
“Heather and Spencer did a great job! We received constant updates! They both are so friendly and took such great care of our pups. We would hire them again for sure!”
“Jordan was great with my two dogs, one a 5 month old Dane puppy! She handles them with ease and I felt such reassurance that they were in good hands! Shining recommendations!”
“Kianna was a wonderful rover. She provided daily picture updates and took great care of the house while she stayed with our cats. We would definitely rebook Kianna in the future!”
About: HI! My name is Alisha and the only thing I love more than a good pun is a good doggie! I have been a lover of all animals since as early as I can remember. I am very active and love bringing the pups out on my runs and exploring nature together. I am patient and love cuddles and kisses, but am a stickler for manners, rules, and boundaries. I have experience with deaf dogs, potty training, and crate training. My schedule is very flexible right now for any service you are in need of and have reliable transportation. I hope I can meet your doggie soon so I can have another new four-legged friend! There is a lot of flexibility in my current work schedule, so that means I have pretty open availability to supervise, play, and cuddle with your baby!! In my house home pets are part of the family. They deserve all the love and attention to give them the very best life possible!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,638 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Milltown. 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 Milltown 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 Milltown 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 Milltown 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
