“Grace is the absolute best!! We have a whole farm here and she handles them all excellently. Even our one dog who doesn't particularly love anyone but Mom and Dad cannot get enough of Grace.”
“Kelly did a tremendous job watching our house and puppy. She was a very good communicator. She constantly sent us pictures and videos of our dog so we knew everything was good. We would definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 my family and friends always ask me to take care of walking ,feeding , and administrating medicine . I work at the Easton Elementary i usually get off anywhere between 3:55-4pm so I can do check ins and or walks Monday through Friday after I get off from work on the weekends I have a very flexible schedule so I can do anytime I had 2 dogs they passed away this year due to older age couple of months ago but I have a backyard with a closed off fence top to bottom so your pets will be very safe and have a good yard to run around and stretch
About: I’ve owned different breed’s throughout my life and have had puppies grow up to live long, healthy lives! I’ve also had the pleasure of taking care of small and large dogs with hip displacia, blindness, cancer and other special needs. I’m also a huge health nut, so I’m always researching nutrition topics and things that may benefit the doggies I get to meet! I have an early job in the morning so I’ll be available for very early visits and I’ll be out of work at 1:30pm so I can spend the rest of the of the day and weekends taking care of my fur friends. I’ll keep and eye on them, make sure there is nothing around or anything they can get into to get hurt. On outside walks they always be on a leash and we will avoid big highways.
“I can’t recommend Kacy highly enough! She took wonderful care of my beagle, Bagel, for a full week while staying in my home, and everything about the experience was outstanding. From the start, Kacy was warm, professional, and clearly very comfortable with dogs. Bagel was clearly well loved the entire time. Kacy was incredibly attentive and responsible, keeping Bagel on her routine, giving her plenty of walks, playtime, and affection, and sending thoughtful updates that gave me complete peace of mind. I came home to a calm, happy dog and a house that was just as I left it (if not better). It’s rare to find someone you trust so fully with both your pet and your home, and Kacy exceeded every expectation. I would book her again in a heartbeat and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter. 🐶✨”
“Maura and Will treated Ozzie like he was part of the family! He felt right a home at their house, and I believe thoroughly enjoyed having another canine companion to play with. Maura will be my go-to any time I travel in the future.”
About: My dog passed and I miss her company! So I love having visitors to keep me company and play with while working from home :) Work from home, I'm free to walk the dogs first thing the the morning, around noon and anytime in the evening and spend the whole day with them if needed :) Quiet home, no children, no smoking, no other dogs or cats - just fish n two birds, half way fenced Yard, but very safe. We can walk around the neighborhood, there is a park down the street as well and the back yard.
About: Ive been caring for dogs and cats since I was about 8 years old. I’ve always had multiple dogs in the house at a time. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from big to small, Seniors to puppies. I provide daily photos throughout your pets daily routine and tons of love I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of enough time to care for your fur baby. I believe all animals should be treated like they are you own even if they are temporary I live in a quiet cozy apartment with a big yard in the back. There is plenty of room for playtime and resting. Pets are welcome on all furniture
“Ashley is a wonderful dog and house sitter! She took great care of Sadie for a week while we were out of town. She did everything I requested and was always very kind and courteous. The house looked exactly how we left it. Not a thing out of place. She is very trustworthy and highly dependable. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Maranda was fantastic. I really can’t say enough positive things about our experience with her. She was quick to learn and work with the idiosyncrasies of our two cats, took care of our house which was immaculate when we returned and communicated with us while away as much/or as little as we requested. She is very personable, respectful and responsive.”
“Alicia was terrific. Great communication and took great care of our two Westies on an overnight stay. She did a great job with the two doggies and took great care of our house too. Highly recommend and we will be asking her to pupster sit again!! 👍”
“Lily was great all the way thru our trip and before. She came to meet the dogs twice before our trip. Sent updates and pictures throughout and left our house in the same condition as when she arrived. My mom's dog is nervous and had never been left with a sitter before and Lily was patient and sensitive to her needs. We will definitely be calling her the next time we need a sitter!”
“We had a great experience with Alexxis. Our dogs absolutely loved her — it was clear they were comfortable and well cared for the entire time. She was communicative, kind, and made sure to keep us updated with photos. On top of that, we came home to a spotless house, which we really appreciated. It made the whole experience stress-free. Highly recommend and would definitely book with her again!”
“We love going on vacation, but hate leaving our dog! Bekah helped make our vacation so much more enjoyable because we knew our pup was well taken care of! She was very responsive to texts and calls, gave us daily updates, was punctual with her arrival times, and we came home to a happy pup. Would highly recommend, we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Christie was very professional. She did a meet and greet with our babies a month in advance. We ended up adopting a stray and she didn't hesitate to watch over our pups. She left the house the way she found it and sent updates throughout her visit. I highly recommend her!”
“First let me say this was the first time I used Rover for dog sitting. I was very nervous since we had never left our new puppy with anyone. It took about five searches to find someone available and I was so happy it was Kat!!! She was amazing, she truly took care of my pup and kept me updated the entire time we were away. She needed to come back after we returned to pick it up something she left and my pup was so excited to see her. After she left he stood at the door for 10 minutes waiting for her to return. That reassured me that he was so totally cared for. I will use her again and again and recommend her to all my friends and family.”
“Heather was great! Communication and pictures of Duchess were very much appreciated! I came home to a clean house and it was perfect as I got home later than normal and could just relax and head to bed. I will definitely use Heather again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Newcomb
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 600 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Newcomb. 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 Newcomb 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 Newcomb 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 Newcomb 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.

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.
