“First time meeting Nelson and he was great! The babies loved him and were instantly comfortable. Which says a lot for my senior dog! He was personable, sent consistent updates, and always responded. He’s great!”
“Allison was amazing with our girls Milli and Maxi. She was responsive with all her replies, our special requests and we felt at ease with Allison taling care of our girls at home. The babies always had big smiles and were always very relaxed. Thanks for all the updates and a great job all around. The girls look forward to her next visit.”
“Jenny is the best house sitter we ever had. She took extraordinary care of our two dogs and one cat, sending plenty of pictures and videos so we could see how happy they all were. She also left the house in immaculate condition. We will definitely use her again. She's amazing!!”
“Ari was absolutely wonderful with our pets! We have five dogs and a cat, including three dogs who were taking medication during her stay, and she did an amazing job administering everything as instructed. One of our dogs is especially picky and incredibly smart when it comes to medication. She knows immediately when there’s a pill hidden in her food, and giving her medication can be a nightmare. Ari went above and beyond by researching different ways to administer it and even asked for my approval before trying a new method. I really appreciated how attentive, proactive, and thoughtful she was. Our pets seemed to really love her, and she took great care of our home while house sitting as well. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our senior pets were in such caring and capable hands. Thank you so much, Ari, for taking such great care of our pets and our home! ❤️ We will definitely be booking with you again!”

“Amazing! Jillian was thorough and well informed when making a booking. She communicates quickly with any questions and happy to learn about each of my 4 dogs preferences! I will be booking again! Coco, Mali, Enzo and Ollie were at ease and so excited to see her! Highly recommend booking Jillian as she’s easy to talk to and eager to assist where she can. I felt so assured leaving my bus of pets with her for a full day and looking forward to booking her services again!”
About: I love animals. I own 3 dogs and I’ve been told by strangers that their dogs have taking a liking to me. I’m very good with animals and kids too. I’ve had several dogs before so I know what a responsibility taking care of them are , but seeing them wag their little tails and jumping around is a reward. I’m an outgoing , determined , social & communicative person. I’m also very straightforward and caring. Many people have told me I’m the person they come to first if they need anything, because I’m always that person you can count on. Let’s just say I have a way with words like nobody else, and that is the reason people see me as the great person i am.
“Starla is amazing! She’s great with our animals and always sends great pictures and updates. Our pets love her and even though it’s been months since they last saw her, they immediately remembered her and couldn’t wait to hang out with her again which goes to show you how caring and loving she is. I don’t think I could trust anyone else to watch over my animals like I would Starla, 100/10 would recommend and book again!”
“Gabby was awesome! She was so patient with our dog, who has separation anxiety. She sent plenty of updates while we were gone, and we came home to a happy boy and a clean house! Will definitely be reaching out next time we need a sitter.”
“Lanette took wonderful care of my two pups! She was very accommodating- One of our dogs is very protective of me and doesn't get along with new people for a while, but Lanette did come over a few times before the stay to help get him more comfortable with her. During the stay our protective little pup came out of his shell, fell in love, and wouldn't leave her alone! She was very patient with him and that was exactly what he needed! We got lots of pictures and videos, which was very comforting for my boyfriend and I. We highly recommend Lanette!”
About: I have been in the veterinary medicine world for about 5 years started as a Pet Care Technician and now I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician. I take care of fur babies every single day and absolutely love it. I will love your fur babies like they are my own. Pet care is fit into my daily and weekly routine by my full time job at the animal hospital. I work with the hospitalized patients who needs special care and attention. Then when I go home I care for my three fur babies whenever I can! I care for my pets at home by having a set routine with their feeding, restroom, and exercise with also managing a full time job.

About: As a dog co-parent, I’ve taken care of my roommates dogs for many years. I’m always kind and gentle, and bring a calm presence while still being joyful, fun loving, and energetic for play time! I’m returning to school so I’m available mornings Monday and most evenings through Friday. Since school hasn’t started I’m free most days, just send me a message! I prefer to care for pets in their homes where they have full access to their toys, comfy couches, food and favorite spots near the window. I build in plenty of time for cuddles and play time and of course time walks!
“Elmer was amazing! Our regular sitter wasn’t able to watch our dogs and finding someone new to trust is always a little stressful, but he made the whole process very easy. He was personable, sent daily photos and videos where our dogs looked so happy, and we came back to a clean house. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away! Would definitely use him again”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Territory
This was my first experience with Rover, and I’m truly so impressed. My dog unexpectedly had surgery, and I needed to hire someone to watch him when I attended a wedding to ensure he didn’t scratch/lick his wounds as he is a little MacGyver and manages to get out of every cone known to man. Insert Britteny saving the day! She was willing to help with a last minute request, and she was SO attentive to Benny. She sent me so many pictures which eased my anxiety so much, and gave Benny his pain and antibiotic medication regimen without any hiccups. She graciously accepted every request I had, and went above and beyond. The proof was really the fact that in many of the pictures, Benny is curled up cuddling Britteny. I would absolutely recommend Britteny for any of your dog walking/watching needs! Both Benny and I can’t wait to ask for her help again soon.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in New Territory is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,200 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Territory. 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 Territory 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 Territory 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 Territory 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.
