“Hannah is amazing! I had to take a business trip and was so stressed about leaving my older cat who needs meds 2x a day home. Friends would have stopped in but with Hannah I was sure to get excellent care. She's wonderful and now I know I can take occasional trips and not worry.”

About: I have a lot of patience for animals and I love entertaining them, whether that’s playing with them or going on a long walk. For the younger ones, or ones that just have more energy, I would love to run them and keep them in shape. I am super flexible this summer, aside from a few weeks of travel, so whatever works for you works for me. My main priority is going to the gym, but other than that I’m all yours! Whether it’s feeding, walking, brushing, playing, or simply snuggling, I’m always giving my full attention and affection. Also, I think mental stimulation is often overlooked in animal care so I try to incorporate fun games and activities.

About: Woof, Woof woof woof, ggrrrr (Hi, Wanna go play, lol) Hi, I have a pretty flexible schedule so am able to accommodate most people's requests. I love receiving pictures and updates from my Rover sitter when I'm away. I can do the same for you or we can leave it as no news is good news and you can focus on your vacation. Visits are customized to what works for you. My schedule is very flexible. When I have to run out on an errand, I'm happy to take your pup with me or he/she could stay at the house and relax. Safety precautions vary with each situation. I always welcome information from the client on this topic. This is one great thing about a meet and greet; to go over specifics❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

About: I’ve had dogs since young and I’ve loved to train them and work with them. I also really enjoy talking dogs for walks because it is super peaceful and fun. I am currently a college student who is already active. I go for runs at least 3 times a week and can incorporate more walks into my routine. I will abide by the clients rules and how they walk their animal. I also will try to create a bond with the pet so they want to go with me or allow me in their home.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I bring a lifetime of hands on experience to every pet I care for. I grew up with cats, have cared for a diabetic dog who required daily medication and consistent monitoring, and currently share my home with an energetic 80 lb dog. These experiences have taught me that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or requires extra attention, I’ll provide patient, dependable care tailored to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of an 80 lb dog, I’m already committed to daily walks, playtime, feeding, and providing plenty of love and attention. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to reliably care for clients’ pets, whether they need drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection while respecting any special instructions or medical needs. I also make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them patience, attention, and companionship. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and their owners can feel at ease while they’re apart.

About: I have loved dogs my whole life but have never had one of my own. Because of this, I’ve become the go-to guy for all my friends’ dogsitting needs. I spent 2020 as a professional dog walker in Boston and fine tuned my skills at handling multiple dogs at a time. I have picked up training skills and also enjoy taking photos of my furry friends! Additionally, I have cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Every dog is different in how much attention or exercise they need and I’m always ready to adapt to best take care of them. I love getting to know dogs and their unique personalities and I hope I can get to know yours too! While I may be a dog person, I love all animals and have met my share of cool cats so please consider me to care for all kinds of fur babies. I recently moved home from a year on the west coast and am looking to build my schedule back up. I’m currently very flexible and hoping to fill my time with some new fur friends! I know every pet has specific needs and I am always looking to meet those so they can live their best lives. I’m capable of handling dogs with high energy levels or chill out with kitties that just want to snooze. I’m always vigilant as well since I know our pals can sometimes be sneaky.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities! Since joining Rover, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for so many wonderful dogs, including several I’ve been lucky enough to care for consistently over the past five years. Building lasting relationships with these pups and their families has been one of the most rewarding parts of being a sitter! My experience ranges from energetic puppies to sweet seniors requiring extra patience and specialized care. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, bathing, administering supplements/medications, preparing specialized meals, and accommodating unique dietary needs and routines. One of my most meaningful experiences was caring for my own dog, Murphy, throughout his battle with cancer. His care involved preparing specialized meals, administering daily supplements, and bringing him to regular vet appointments and to his holistic vet for his acupuncture! That experience gave me an even deeper appreciation for the patience, compassion, and individualized attention our furry family members deserve. I truly believe dogs are family, and I treat every pup in my care as if they were my own. Whether we’re enjoying walks, spending time outdoors, or simply relaxing with plenty of cuddles, my priority is making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, happy, and loved. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, Rover has allowed me to continue doing something I absolutely love. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pup is in caring, experienced, and dependable hands! ❤️🐾 I currently work from home so I can be extremely flexible with my schedule! I'm also available on weekends, overnights, and longer overnight stays if needed! When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I create a warm, welcoming environment and follow each pet’s routine closely to minimize any stress. This includes feeding them on schedule, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, and giving them lots of love and attention! I make sure their space is clean and cozy, and I keep their toys and bedding fresh. For walks or playtime, I ensure they’re getting the right amount of activity based on their needs, whether that’s a long hike, a fun fetch session, or some relaxing cuddle time. I also monitor their health, providing any special care like administering medications, supplements, or preparing special meals if needed. It’s all about making them feel safe, happy, and loved!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Newbury

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 7,752 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Newbury. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Newbury. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
