“Maia was incredible. 🤯🎉🎊 She kept us updated and took care of the house. We had some people come to the house to move furniture and repair some things and Maia remained flexible through the entirety of that endeavor. The dogs clearly loved her and we’d be absolutely delighted to utilize their services again. 🦮🐕🦺🐕 She did some awesome, creative activities with the dogs too!!! 🎨 What a wonderful surprise to come home to the crafts she made with them! Strongly recommend her services 😊”
About: My family adopted our first dog when I was 7-years old! It was my responsibility to pick up after the dog and take her on long, long walks. As she got older and I moved out, I would often return home to take care of her while my father was traveling for work. I got used to late night potty outings and helping her up the steps. My goal is to make sure every dog feels loved and cared for. I currently work part-time, so I have time on my hands and I would love to spend more of the free time with animals. I have two wonderful cats (a senior lady and a young lady) that I come home to. Currently, I’m available in the mornings Saturday-Tuesday and Friday, and all day on Wednesdays and Thursdays to look after your fur babies. I can also do late evenings after 8:30 Tuesday, Friday-Saturday. I have two litter boxes that are cleaned daily in my home. A plethora of cat toys, several different cat beds that my cats love to rotate around. Our fence is unfortunately broken, but I’m always happy to walk to the park nearby for playtime with your pets as needed.
“Riya was communicative and our boy was very comfortable with her while we were away. Getting all the photos and updates made us feel at ease and we’re thankful.”
About: I can show that I am committed to providing the best care for each pet by taking the time to get to know them. I am responsible. I can demonstrate experience by noting the breeds of animals you've cared for, any behavior challenges. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I am passionate about caring for animals. I am able to plan my schedule around feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide consistent, loving care while keeping pet parents updated.🐾 I provide loving, reliable care for every pet as if they were my own. Depending on the service, I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure they have fresh water and a clean, safe environment. I am experienced with dogs and always pay close attention to their individual needs, personality, and comfort. I will also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel comfortable knowing their pet is being well cared for.🐾
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since i was a little girl, they’re an important part of my life. Every dog that visits will receive a bath if requested! Very good with senior pups! I have a very flexible work, as well as my husbands schedule so always there to do potty breaks and just give some love and attention! I have one dog right now, he’s a 6 year old lab. He’s pretty chill, likes to play & would love to have a buddy to play with!
About: I grew up working at a dog kennel and have always owned dogs. Some of my best friends are trained professionals and I've learned a lot from them. I can do walks, playtimes and certain medications. I can do over nights just not at my house for the time being. I only work Saturday and Sunday but am Still available early Sundays and later after 9 as well as late (after 12am) on Saturday. My days are pretty open during normal pet care hours and outside of them. Dogs love me, and I understand dog body language. My dog was over 100 lbs and I can handle him just fine. I love dog play times and don't mind running with them to get energy out. I just love dogs and making money. Message me with any questions or concerns.
About: I have taken care of dogs for several years! Friends and family have asked me to pet sit for them. My favorite activity with pets is play time! I currently work full time and am in graduate school. My classes are remote so I can be flexible location wise. My availability is evenings after 430pm M-F and all day/all night Saturday and Sunday. I offer drop in visits, daily walks, and house stays on the weekends! I take care of pets with genuine care and attention to detail. Their safety will always be a priority when out on walks or during a home visit.
“Laura is awesome! She took great care of our dog and provided several updates throughout the week we were gone. She is very easy to communicate with and you can tell how much she genuinely cares for animals. We will definitely be booking her again! Thanks for everything Laura!”
“Fez instantly liked Elizabeth and got lots of exercise during his overnight with her. She left our house sparkling clean, grabbed packages for us, and made the whole process effortless. Definitely will be booking her for future trips.”
“Really glad to have Maxwell on board to help with my rambunctious dachshund! It is great to know that my best buddy is playing hard and having tons of fun when I need to be away. Definitely hope to have Maxwell back again soon!”
“Megan and Jeremiah were great. It was only one night, but they took great care of my foster dog, Zoey. They left my house prsotiem and even took out my garbage! They were both very friendly and kind.”
“Lee was a fantastic caretaker for our 2 Labradors. One of our dogs is very shy and Lee took the time to connect with her. She was very dependable and was in constant communication with us about how they were doing. She stayed in our home and when we returned, Lee had taken the time to tidy up before we returned with some light cleaning. I would highly recommend Lee.”
About: ’ve been around dogs my whole life, my grandma trained therapy dogs, so I learned early how to care for pets with patience and structure. I’ve looked after both a Golden Retriever puppy and an elderly Shih Tzu with health needs, including meds and slow walks. I’m based in Gordon Square, work fully remote, and am super flexible for last-minute bookings, routine care, and giving your pet all the love they deserve. I work fully remote, so pet care fits into my routine really easily. I love starting and breaking up my day with walks, check-ins, or playtime — it keeps me active and gives me an excuse to get outside. I keep a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m able to adjust around your pet’s needs, whether that’s a midday potty break, an early morning walk, or evening feedings. I’m comfortable caring for pets in both my home and theirs — my goal is always to make your dog feel like they’ve got a second home (and a new bestie). In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep things familiar. At my place, it’s calm, clean, and cozy with plenty of attention, outdoor time, and space to chill. Wherever I am, your dog’s comfort comes first

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newburgh Heights
Sarah took really great care of our dogs! I arrived home to happy pups 🤍. Sarah communicated frequently and provided daily updates, which I love. She left the house clean (seriously couldn’t even tell someone stayed there). I will definitely recommend her to friend and use her again in the future.
Carla was fantastic! I felt really at ease knowing she was with my dog Kiwi when I had a last minute request. She was super communicative and I really appreciate how much TLC Kiwi got while I was gone, and loved the pictures! 10/10 experience would absolutely recommend.
Lydia did an excellent job! She communicated well, sent us lots of pictures, and asked all kinds of questions to ensure she was providing the best care possible. We appreciated her flexibility, friendliness, and holistic care for our pup. Glad to have her back in the future!
Jonathan was amazing! I would absolutely book with him again. He helped us out in such a pinch and followed every routine for our dogs. He was very communicative and sent many pictiures. He stayed at our home and left it in prestine condition, 10/10 stars from me!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,332 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Newburgh Heights. 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 Newburgh Heights 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 Newburgh Heights 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Newburgh Heights 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.
