About: I recently lost my 16-year-old Shih Tzu, Harper, who was a huge part of my life. Caring for him through every stage of life, especially his senior years, gave me extensive experience with patience, routines, medication support, comfort care, and recognizing dogs’ individual needs. I am comfortable caring for both small and large dogs and provide a calm, clean, smoke-free home environment. Your dog will have access to a spacious, air-conditioned 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. There are no other animals or children in the home, allowing for a peaceful environment and plenty of individualized attention. As a school principal, responsibility, communication, safety, and trust are part of my everyday life. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone dependable, loving, and attentive. As summer comes to an end, I'll be returning to my full-time role as an elementary school principal. During the school year, I'm typically away from home Monday through Friday from approximately 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. If your dog is comfortable being home during those hours—similar to a typical workday—I would love to care for them! Before and after work, your pet will receive plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks (if requested), cuddles, and lots of love. One of the perks of my career is having several school breaks throughout the year. During fall, winter, spring, summer breaks, and long weekends, my schedule is much more flexible, allowing me to spend significantly more time at home with your pet. If you're looking for boarding during one of those breaks, your dog will enjoy even more companionship and attention throughout the day. My home is safe, smoke-free, and has a fully fenced yard. Transparency is important to me, so if your pet requires constant supervision or frequent midday care during the workweek, I may not be the best fit. However, if your dog is comfortable with a typical workday routine, I'd be happy to welcome them into my home. As a school principal, responsibility, communication, and creating a safe, caring environment are at the heart of what I do every day—and I bring those same qualities to caring for your pets. I provide a safe, calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for while away from their families. In my home, dogs will have access to a spacious, air-conditioned 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and potty breaks. My home is smoke-free with no other pets or children, which allows me to provide individualized attention and a peaceful environment. I carefully follow each pet owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, sleeping arrangements, routines, and any special needs. I understand how important consistency and communication are for pets, especially seniors or dogs adjusting to a new environment. As a school principal, safety, responsibility, supervision, and communication are part of my daily life, and I bring those same qualities into pet care. My goal is to make both pets and their owners feel safe, comfortable, and confident while in my care.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals since I was 10! I worked with dogs in a facility for daycare and boarding and I enjoyed that. From loving the pets to feeding them giving medication and baths and a bunch of love! I’ve worked with pets my whole life. I have 3 dogs of my own so they are my priority! I have open availability and I’m free for whenever I’m needed! I have a fenced yard. 2 pups of my own that are very friendly and love meeting new friends. I have trails next to where I live that I take my pups to so they can explore. I will accommodate to anything to make sure your baby is all good and that you feel reassured about the safety of your pet!

About: I have a good amount of experience caring for animals. This is a friendly environment with room to run in and out. I'm a hands on sitter and animal lover. I work in the area I live and check in between appointments on the dogs. The rest of the time I'm here and home on weekends. My kids are home for the summer. There are many areas for the dogs to relax and feel comfortable. There are several water stations inside and outside. The backyard is 75% shaded during the daytime hours.

About: I have worked with a pet rescue with my family. I have worked with all animals. I have always loved animals and grew up with them. I work at a preschool during the week Monday and Tuesday 8-4 Wednesday 8-1 and Thursday and Friday 8-4. My weekends are open availability and love meeting new animals. I have been dog sitting for a few different families. Occasionally I have had them at my apartment but I mostly watch them in their environment so they are more comfortable. I feed and give them water, play with them so they get exercise and let them out to go to the bathroom, take dogs for a walk when it is cool out.

About: I was raised by Cocker spaniels when I was little. I grew up loving animals, dogs and cats alike. Among the many gifts my parents gave my sister and I is the love for animals and the Lord. I live with my parents who have on property 7 horses and dogs. My sister breeds sheepadoodles and we dog sit for the families who bought my sister’s pups. When my parents go on vacation I will feed both, dogs and horses. I cat sit now twice a year for a friend from church and would love to get to know my local community by doing the same thing if possible. Very well. Especially if the customer/client is close. I’m pretty open and flexible with my schedule. Im always willing to help out and make things more comfortable and fun. I care for any animal with love and affection. I am very grateful for the opportunity and trust that comes I with loving an animal.

About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life, giving me years of hands-on experience with daily care, feeding, and exercise. I’ve also enjoyed training my family’s dogs to do fun tricks like shake and roll over, which taught me patience and consistency. Whether it’s keeping up with playful puppies or providing gentle care for older pets, I make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I am currently a full-time student, but I have evenings and weekends free. This allows me to check in on pets before my classes and spend quality time with them afterward, whether that’s going for evening walks, feeding, or enjoying playtime. My schedule is consistent, so I can make sure pets get regular care and attention. I truly love animals and treat them with the same care and patience I would give my own. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s playing fetch, engaging with toys, or simply cuddling, I focus on giving them both physical activity and affection. I also pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and routines, so they feel happy, secure, and cared for while their owner is away.

Jacqueline has been amazing!!! She took such great care of my Koko. She followed all of his special instructions, was always on time and took pictures and sent me little notes that he was doing great. I would definitely recommend her and will continue to use her when I need someone to take care of my cat.

About: Safety is my first priority. I pay close attention to body language, approach every dog calmly, and adjust to what each one actually needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all routine. I only accept bookings when I can guarantee more than enough time, exercise, and attention for your dog. I also stick to whatever routine, feeding schedule, or medication timing you need. I know that leaving your dog in someone else’s care can be stressful — you’re trusting a stranger with a member of your family. That’s why I communicate consistently: photo and video updates, honest notes about how the visit is going, and a quick message if anything seems off. I’m always happy to do a meet and greet beforehand so you and your dog can get comfortable with me first. I own a fully trained German Shorthaired Pointer who works in the field with me. He’s well-socialized, gets along great with other dogs, and loves having guests around. Training and handling a working sporting breed has taught me a lot about reading dogs, managing energy, and building trust — and I bring that same attention to every dog I care for. Whether you need a sitter or a walker, tell me about your dog’s needs, quirks, and routine, and I’ll follow them. Looking forward to meeting you both! My work schedule is very flexible and will only provide services when I can guarantee more than enough exercise, attention, and care for your dog. It is very important for me to be completely transparent and communicative about my routine with you as the client. I’m always open to meet and greets, if you prefer. I’ve always found that trust and adequate exercise and stimulation are the most important factors in building a strong relationship between the handler and dog. I pay close attention to your dogs body language and make sure I always approach your dog in a calm and collective manner.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 25 years. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and keep company. I’m currently working full-time as a teacher for Deer Valley School District, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and cats. I’m very cautious with walking dogs in public. I will always have animals on leashes and making sure that we’re not near any other people or other animals.

About: I have cared for dogs my entire life and have always grown up around them. I currently have experience with multiple dogs of different ages, sizes, and needs, including caring for dogs recovering from injuries such as torn ACLs. I also provide overnight care for multiple families and their pets. I truly love spending time with animals. I am patient, dependable, and passionate about making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I just finished my college semester, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the summer for weekday, weekend, and overnight care. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, feeding on schedule, and a clean environment. I also pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and needs to make sure they are happy and stress-free while their owner is away.

About: My first dog I got when I was in the 4th grade. She changed my life. Now I’ve never been able to connect with a dog on that level since her but I still love them. & hope some day I will be able to give my kids that. I am a single mom with 3 kids under the age of 6. Adding a fur baby to the mix just isn’t in the cards for me right now. & after this year I’m looking to get back on my feet. So I thought this could be a good way to make some extra money to help us. We are a very active bunch. Love hiking, walking, and pretty much anything outdoors. Like I said before we are always outside. I like to take walks in the morningsevenings. Love hiking. I work from home so I can make my own schedule. Depends on the dog. Just like my kids each one is different. What works for one might not work for the other. I would like to mimic as much as the dogs normal as possible.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in New River on Rover is $21.4 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 3,855 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across New River. 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 River 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.

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 River 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in New River with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.

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.
