Jen was the best!! She provided outstanding care for our cat. She kept all appointments on time. Kept us informed how our cat was doing, sent lots of pictures and text updates. She spent extra time playing with our cat. When we got home, we were met by a very happy kitty!!! She is usually mad at us for a few hours, but not this time!! Returning after 7 days, it was like we never left!!! I would recommend Jen anytime!!! All ready have her booked for our next trip!

About: Ever since I was young, I’ve taken care of my family’s chickens, snakes, and dogs. My neighbors also had dogs, horses, and many other animals that I’ve petsit. I loved dogs so much that I walked my neighbors dogs for free since it would be good exercise for me and for the dogs themselves. Whether cuddling or playing and even doing the dirty work like cleaning up poop or throw up, I will love your dogs like I love my own. If you’re booking me for house sitting, I will walk your dog free of charge. :) I have dog walking in the morning and tend to go to the gym at night for a few hours or a date night once in awhile, I won’t be away from your pet for more than 4-6 hours according to your wishes! To make sure our furry friends are safe, healthy, and happy I would love to have a meet n greet with the owner and their pet to go over their feedings and routine before a booking. Just like I did with my dog, I’ll give your dog my constant care and attention, giving them ample affection. For dogs I’ve taken care of at my neighbors house or my clients house, I respect whether or not they’re allowed on the couches or the bed. If they want to play I could spend hours playing with them, of course stopping when I see them becoming tired or overheated. I would also like to call myself a part time maid since I like to leave the house cleaner than I found it. I love going on walks or runs with dogs to release their energy and I’m careful to avoid other dogs if they tend to be reactive.

About: Hi, I’m Keilah! If you’re looking for a reliable, energetic, and detail-oriented sitter who will keep your pup happy and healthy I’m your girl. I know how important exercise and routines are for your animals, so I make sure to provide walks and playtime. I will strictly follow all of your feeding schedule, medication needs, and house rules to ensure a seamless transition for your pet. Whether your dog is a senior who takes it slow or a puppy who needs constant supervision I’m your person. :) Im a student on summer break so I’m available to play with your pups whenever! I am studying for a big exam, so please be patient as I navigate requests. I prefer to watch your fur babies in your own home to have them in a comfortable environment. I provide long walks, enrichment with dog toys, as well as cuddles and attention.

About: Experience caring for anxious and/or special needs animals (diapers, mobility issues, medication, senior dogs, puppies) both professionally and personally. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been pet sitting on and off for family friends and neighbors since I was a teenager, but started doing so more professionally in the past 5 years. Most of my experience is with overnight care for dogs (ranging from a single night to a full month at a time) but I’m an animal lover with personal experience caring for every kind of pet imaginable (horses, ferrets, fish, cats, bunnies, reptiles/tortoises). I work very flexible hours part-time which mostly consists of work from home, this leaves my schedule wide open for overnight care and long stays. Very good at keeping consistency with feeding and medication schedules, as well as making sure potty breaks taken as frequently as needed (experience with special needs dogs who require being let outside/cleaned up after much more than other dogs).

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.

About: I'm was professional pet trainer at a major retail chain. I've lived with a dog, cat, chinchilla, hamster, bird, or fish most of my life. I love fur babies and want help people when they need to be away from their beloved pets. Most recently, I helped sit a household with four elderly dogs with various medical needs. I have experience giving medications to dogs, as well as dogs with disabilities like blindness and deafness. Ideally with pet sitting, my wife and I would meet the dogs and/or cats before we pet sit to learn their specific needs, and learn where the food and treats hide. Depending on the pets and the weather, we like long hikes/walks and short trips around the neighborhood. You actually receive two pet sitters with me. My spouse will be home most of the time while I'm at work. I'm also a certified pet sitter with Pet Sitters International. I'm a Vocational Specialist, and my wife and I work together when petsitting, so she's there when I'm not. We work together and it's a team business. I like to learn the current routine of your beloved pet(s) and try to keep their routine for their comfort. I make sure I learn your house rules and will not let those puppy dog eyes persuade me to let them on the couch unless you say it is ok. I have my Pet First Aid Course and am taking other courses to increase my Pet Safety knowledge.

Tama watched our cats while we were out of town and it was a great experience. She sent photos and videos of them both. One of our cats is a great hider and she stayed in contact about sightings of her and made sure to really seek her out. Would recommend every time!

About: I stared dog sitting my freshman year of highschool for my neighbor, but eventually I enjoyed it so much that my friends would ask me to take care of their pets while they were out of town; from dogs, cats, and even hamsters. I always enjoy being around animals and I always find a way to build a good bond with them. I am a student at U of A, all my classes are usually in the morning so I’m free most afternoons. I am free on the weekends and can do any overnight pet sitting on Fridays and Saturdays. So if you’re going out for the weekend feel free to reach out! If the house has a backyard I will let them out every hour to ensure they are using the bathroom, if the house does not have a backyard I will take the dog out for a short walk every 2-3 hours. Of course i’ll take the dogs for a long walk everyday whether the house has a backyard or not. I will follow any schedules such as feeding schedules that the owners give me.

Sage did an excellent job with our 2 senior chihuahuas! I was a little leery about how they would behave with having a stranger come into our home, but they loved her and were happy to see her when she stopped by. She was attentive to their needs and provided feedback when she noticed something amiss. Thank you again, Sage, for taking care of our babies!

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 Pet 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 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 3,975 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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 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.

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.
