Jeanne was great and very responsive. I had full confidence my cats were being well cared for while I was away. I would definitely recommend Jeanne and hope to reschedule her services for future dates.

About: I have been dog sitting since I was in middle school. Friends, family, friends of friend, and neighbors have trusted me with their furry family members. As someone who has a little pup myself, I know the care and consideration each individual animal needs and deserves. I've worked with a variety of breads, behaviors, and ages and feel equipped to ensure a safe walk, play time, or check in for your dog. Personally, I've adopted a puppy Cairn Terrier, Ruckus. I've loved training with him, creating a bond, and learning more about dog behavior. It's been a really fun journey. He's a sassy little guy. I have been off Rover for the past few years, moving around and attending Grad School. I am excited to be back to help the Essex community care for their pets. I currently work from home, full time. I have flexibility in my schedule to do walks and drop in visits for your dog. Where I can provide full and undivided attention. When I have a dog I'm looking after, I will ensure safety and fun - however that looks for your doggie. Going for a walk, playing catch in the yard, or even just laying on the couch getting some pets. Your pet will be my priority for the duration of my visit.

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: I've been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for both small and large breeds. In addition to caring for my own dog, I've also dog-sat for family, friends, and neighbors.I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I'm committed to giving pets the attention they deserve. As a full-time teacher during the school year, I have a structured and reliable schedule. Currently, I am completing home training modules, which gives me flexibility during the day for pet care visits. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship, and I will always communicate clearly about my availability and arrival times. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comportable in their familiar environment and routine. I take time to learn each pet’s needs, feeding schedule, exercise requirements, medications, and any special instructions. I prioritize safety, follow all household guidelines, keep owners updated with messages and photos, and treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.

About: I am no stranger to the animal world. I have been active in the horse world since five years old. I have over fifteen years of hands on experience with animals of all shapes and sizes; Dogs, cats, horses, livestock, chickens and other various farm animals. I have experience training dogs and a love for working with older rescues! Taking care of the four dogs, horses, and chickens at home requires us to be up by 7 in the morning. My weekend work schedule can be quite busy during the summer seasons, and my weekly schedule tends to be constant yet unpredictable. Please feel free to ask about the scheduling details, as I am very flexible. We have spacious runs, 30 to 60 feet long, and across the road, there are hundreds of acres of trails for our animals to explore. Our mission is to keep them engaged and active, as their world is shaped by what we provide. With plenty of stimulation, we can effectively manage behavior and craft positive relationships.

About: Hi! I’m a college student and lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve worked with both puppies and senior dogs and am happy to care for dogs of any age. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, patience, and genuine love for animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I treat every dog like family! Since it’s summer, I have a super flexible schedule and lots of free time to focus on pet care! I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and any other needs your pup may have. I love spending time outdoors and being active, so caring for dogs fits perfectly into my routine. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for all summer long! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and at ease. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. At my home, I have a friendly dog who gets along well with others and loves having company. I always create a calm, welcoming space where pets can play, relax, and feel right at home!

Stephanie did an excellent job dropping in to take care of our cat! Pepper is elderly and very timid but warmed up quickly. Stephanie went above and beyond and even brought in some big packages that were delivered while we were gone. She was great at sending pictures and updating us on how Pepper was doing while we were out of town for a week. We would definitely trust Stephanie to take care of Pepper next time we are away!

About: I grew up with cats and medium and large dogs (along with other smaller critters), regularly took care of neighborhood dogs (overnight stays and walks), and I still take care of my parent’s 95 lb dog and cat when they’re out of town. I travel occasionally for work and personal reasons so haven’t yet committed to having my own pet (yet!). I love having a dog companion on my regular walks/hikes. I have a hybrid work arrangement where I’m part time in the office in Newburyport and part time at home in Amesbury. My schedule varies based on work/personal travel schedule and can be pretty flexible depending on the day when I’m at home. I’m happy to take dogs for walks near your home as needed (as short or as long of a walk as you’d like) and also happy to stay overnight to take care of pets.

About: I have the experience of 3 years of dogsitting my neighbor’s lovely golden retriever, and miscillaneous other neighbors have had me walk all different kinds of dogs too over the years I just graduated highschool and work part time in the evening so I’m free basically every weekday until 3:00pm, some days even after that. Weekends are generally the same. I am very good at interacting by and playing with dogs, and keeping them happy while you’re away. I also love going on walks so naturally I love walking dogs!

About: My family describes me as the dog whisperer! I grew up with two Malteses; one from puppy-hood and the other, adopted in his elder years. I work full time on a hybrid work-from-home schedule with every Wednesday and Friday at home. With a flexible schedule, I will be accessible for your dog. My house has a fenced in patio and unfenced small yard. The neighborhood is very walkable and close to downtown Amesbury and Lake Gardner. I know that pets are a true part of your family and I will protect and care for your dog as if it were my own.

About: Hi, I’m Sally! I work from home on the Massachusetts coast, so my schedule is flexible and there’s always time for a midday walk or a little extra attention. I’ve completed many Rover visits and have cared for dogs at every stage, from brand new puppies to sweet seniors, and I’m happy to adapt to whatever routine keeps your pup comfortable. As a Frenchie mom myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s hands, and I treat every dog like my own. I’m also very active, so expect a happily tired pup. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I’m available for midday walks and drop in visits most weekdays, and for house sitting I can often work right from your home, which means your dog gets company for most of the day instead of just mornings and evenings. Since I care for dogs in your home, I follow your rules and routines exactly, from feeding instructions to house boundaries. On walks, dogs stay securely leashed and harnessed, and I’m always careful around doors and gates. I pay close attention to body language and comfort, I ask plenty of questions up front, and I treat your home with the same care I’d want for mine.

Janine was so great with my pups. My one dog can be iffy on new people and she was so comforting to him that he absolutely loved her. She handled them both so well and was very good at communicating throughout the entire visit. Will definitely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Newburyport on Rover is $27.75 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 5,832 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Newburyport. 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 Newburyport 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.

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 Newburyport 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Newburyport with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newburyport. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
