“Courteney was fantastic from start to finish! She was friendly and easy to communicate with when I scheduled. It was my first time using Rover and she helped me get set up. She came for a meet and greet to be introduced to our dog Pepper. During the meet and greet she was kind, respectful, and gave great attention to Pepper. It’s obvious by the way she interacted with Pepper that she works well with dogs and enjoys them. When the time came for her to watch our dog and stay at our house, I was confident she’d do a great job. I got frequent updates and photos of Pepper that helped me feel connected and confident in her care. Pepper said she had a great time with Courteney too:) We will definitely rebook!”
About: I’ve never been bitten. I grew up around strays and my family trusted me to walk them. I lead a volunteer group for The Humane Society, and I just love dogs! They help me deal with military life. I’m big into hiking, and I WILL carry a dog first aid kit XD. I go to School M-F from 8AM-2PM, and Church Sun 8AM-1PM. I need the money, but I do it mostly as a passion project! Very high drive dog friendly. I live in a one bedroom apartment across the street from a MASSIVE dog park. I’m huge into fitness and nature, and I will WALK your dog in nature if you want.
“Beth was fantastic. Very trustworthy and struck a great balance between letting us know how our dogs were doing and letting us enjoy our trip in peace knowing they were in good hands! We would definitely go with her again.”
“Emma watched Sadie while we were away for a day. She was communicative when needed, did everything we asked of her, and even stayed a little while extra to comfort Sadie when Sadie was afraid of fireworks going off outside. Sadie was cared for and in good spirits when we returned. We would happily book Emma again!”
“Rachel did a great job watching our old man for a couple nights. Munchie is 19 and pretty low maintenance but has his quirks. Sent pictures throughout the day and let us know when he was up and about. Would ask her to watch him again!”
“Monica was great with my cat while I was away for over 2 weeks! I got lots of updates and pictures, she made sure he got his meds and plenty of cuddles, and I came home to a happy cat and a clean house. She was also very flexible and understanding when my travel plans got shifted and when my cat got a new prescription after I left. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
“First time using Rover & can honestly say that I’ll be using it again after having Morgan as our puppy helper. By far one of the most knowledgeable, caring & kindest young lady’s you’ll come in contact with! Took such good care of our Frenchie & hopefully the next time we choose to use this service we’ll be able to choose her again! Side note - She’ll send you pictures of the puppy/dog periodically through the entire experience.”
“Mia did amazing with our dogs. They are sensitive and tend to have high anxiety when things change. Upon coming home there were no accidents and the dogs approached us as if nothing happened, meaning, she loved them and tended to them in the same mannor we would. She also gave the same love to our bearded dragon. Thank you so much for stepping in while we can step out!”
“Caitlyn left an adorable pet report card for us which I loved. She was super communicative when my shy/touchy senior dogs were being problematic and asked for tips. Good with medication schedules!”
“Marissa was great! She saved me after a last minute cancellation. She is very communicative. She sent pictures of my cats constantly and would let me know when she was leaving in and out of the home. It looked like my cats really enjoyed her company and she enjoyed theirs. I would definitely book her again.”
“We are so thankful for Jennifer! She watched our pets over Easter weekend and did a phenomenal job. We received regular updates along with pictures, and we came home to a happy house. We would absolutely use her again.”
“Zach was an excellent pet sitter! He provided daily photo updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. He made sure Rebel got a walk every day and took great care of all of our pets—Rebel, our dog, and Lilly and Bella, our cats. It was clear they were well cared for and comfortable while we were gone. We really appreciated his communication, reliability, and the care he showed our pets. We’d absolutely trust Zach to watch them again.”
“We love having Ashlyn as our go-to sitter for staying with our two dogs! We can always tells that they had a great time with her when we get home because they're so happy and she sends some photos of them having fun while we are gone. She's a quick communicator, excellent with following any directions for care, and we appreciate her so much!”
About: Dog CPR and First Aid certified. Your pet will be given lots of love and attention, and you can be sure they are with someone reliable. I can exercise your dog as much as needed. My own dog is high energy and I take him for runs, he goes in the stroller when he gets tired :) I have experience with senior dogs, puppies, dogs with medical conditions, allergies, and specific dietary needs. I can administer medication and I know how important it is to follow strict guidelines, as my own dog has severe allergies. I work from home so I am available most of the time. I don’t know why this section requires twenty five words, but it does. I have a fenced yard and one high energy fur baby of my own. Your dog can cuddle with us in the human bed, or you can bring their own! I do not have an extra crate, so you will need to bring one.
“Michelle was very professional, responsive, reliable, and great with out pets. It gave my husband and I a lot of peace of mind while we were away that our home and pets were being well cared for.”
“Sheridan took care of all three pups exceptionally well. Her communication is appreciated and she clarifies any questions or concerns readily giving me a great peace of mind.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Rome
Courteney is a fantastic pet sitter, I highly recommend her! She took great care of my new puppy and older pets, providing updates to ensure I felt comfortable leaving them in her care. Courteney even got my shy shepherd-lab mix, Bailey, to come out of hiding, typically an impossible feat for someone who just met her! We will definitely use Courteney again!
Riley was able to help us out last minute after our dog sitter cancelled. It was my first time using Rover so was a little nervous but after meeting Riley, we automatically knew our pup was in good hands. Riley was communicative and sent daily pictures so it helped us enjoy vacation knowing we didn’t have to worry about our pup. We would definitely use Riley again and recommend her to anyone!
I would highly recommend Brendan to anyone who needs a pet sitter. I had no worries about my babies well being while under his care. He kept me updated on how they were doing and even included pictures of Pedy and Gianni. Our dog Pedy is 11 and has diabetes and requires insulin shots twice a day. It was such a relief that Brendan was experienced at injections. I want to thank Brendan for agreeing to watch our babies on such short notice after the other sitter we booked cancelled. I really hope Brendan is available next year when we go away to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary.
Abigail was fantastic! We know our kiddos were loved while we were gone, you can see it in their faces… plus the fun videos were enjoyed by the entire family while away. She made us feel comfortable and at ease knowing our kiddos were being cared for by someone who loves animals. Definitely will be using Abigail again! Thanks lady, from our fam, both fuzzy and not😊🐾🐶🧑🧑🧒🧒

FAQs for House Sitting - New Rome
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in New Rome on Rover is $39.22 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,522 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Rome. 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 Rome 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 Rome 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 Rome 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.

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.
