She occasionally has a stubborn streak even with us. I just sit and wait her out when she does that. We just started her in some joint products as we think she’s a little sore from walking a lot. She loves being outside, but we are monitoring her activity some. I’m sure Monday she will start to get used to you Vs us, thanks very much!

Laura is amazing! We had an incident with a bat in our house that she noticed when she came to check on our cat. She took action, called animal control, and brought our cat to the vet for a rabies shot. Being able to trust Laura to take care of him meant the world to me on my vacation. 6 out of 5 stars!! Haha

About: Hi! My name is Brooke, and I am looking to help out with some pups! I’m willing to do one-time, or repeating walking schedules, home care/drop-in visits, and other requests! I’ve always grown up with dogs and cats, I am comfortable around them, and since I am a stay at home college student, I have experience being the go-to for family and friends dogs sitting needs often. Please message me if interested! I currently work part-time as well as am an online college student, therefore my schedule can tend to be flexible! I also nanny, but me and my toddler go on many puppy walks daily and would love to bring a new friend along! I have a fenced in yard as well as an older pup who loves to spend time socializing with other dogs! In a clients home, I am always respectful of the spaces and make sure me and the pup keep everything clean and clear.

About: Donna and I started taking care of dogs when we lost our Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Dutchin. We got her when she was 3 months old and she was our baby. When she crossed the Rainbow Bridge, we couldn't bring ourselves to get another dog, but wanted to still experience the joy that dogs bring to our lives. We decided to provide both care and a safe, loving home for other people's pets while their humans are away or otherwise unable to care for them short-term. This way, we can give you peace of mind in knowing your best friend is safe and happy, and we get to interact with all kinds of dogs, which gives us great joy! Your friend will get all the love and attention you give them; and, well, if we spoil them a bit too much, sorry (not sorry)! We are both retired, so we have plenty of time to care for your pets whether in our home or yours. We are available for walks, drop in visits and overnight boarding in our home. When boarding with us, your fur baby will never be alone as someone is always home. We have a large fenced-in yard where your dog can run and play off leash safely. Are your pets used to making themselves at home on the couch? Not a problem! They are more than welcome to snuggle up on ours. If you wish to make your pet a little more at home, you may bring your pet's bed, toys and/or crate.

About: I’m an experienced dog owner and longtime animal lover! I have hands-on experience fostering puppies, so I’m comfortable with everything from energetic playtime and basic training to keeping a close eye on routines, feeding, and potty breaks. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m happy to accommodate different personalities, energy levels, and routines to make our time together as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Pet care is a very important part of my daily routine, and I always make it a top priority. I currently have a dog and a rescue cat, so I understand the time, attention, and consistency pets need throughout the day. I’m reliable with scheduling and communication, and I’ll make sure your pet receives the care and attention they need while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their home with the same care and respect I would my own. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone with both your pets and your home, so I prioritize safety, following your instructions, and clear communication throughout the entire stay. I’ll keep you updated and make sure your pet’s routine is maintained as closely as possible.

We just moved here last week and were gone over Christmas so we had to find someone reliable to take care of our cat, Pancakes, on very short notice. Laney was extremely reliable, communicative, and helped relieve an area of stress for us over this holiday season. We will definitely continue to use her for cat care and also to take care of our pup in the future.

Nicole is absolutely wonderful! The regular updates, adorable photos, and thoughtful gestures put our minds at ease while we were away. We returned home to three happy fur babies, thanks to the exceptional care. She was very patient with them as two were rescues and can be very reactive but they were comfortable with her by the end of the visit. We definitely recommend Nicole to anyone seeking trustworthy, loving dog care!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life as I’ve always had a dog growing up. Ive cared for older dogs as well as two puppies. My family has relied on me to help feed, walk, and play with our dogs every day and I’d be happy to do it for anyone in need. I’m currently working full time from 3-11:30pm about 4-5 days a week, so I’m free most mornings and early afternoons before 2pm to help walk, feed, or play with animals. On days or weekends I have off, I can care for pets anytime of the day. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs, one can be sensitive to some dogs but usually gets along with most dogs. I feed them breakfast and dinner, and take them on walks daily.

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.

I have lots of energy and love to spend time outside with your dog. I assure you will be in great hands when you leave your pet home with me!

Corinne was great with Saturn and took excellent care of her while we were away! She was reliable, communicative, and sent updates and photos with each visit, which gave us peace of mind. Saturn can be shy with new people, and Corinne was patient and understanding with her. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty. I’d definitely recommend Corinne and would be happy to book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Newburyport on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 6,046 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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 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.

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.
