Kaden took wonderful care of our dogs and our home. The dogs were happy At the meet and greet meeting Kaden asked questions that would help him to best care for our pups and be respectful of our home. We will definitely ask him to care for them again!

Once again I was relieved and felt confident that my dog Walter was in good hands while I was away on vacation. Walter can be anxious with different people, but Amanda knows how to handle him. I definitely plan to use Amanda's services again in the future.

Sidney did a wonderful job sitting for us and our 3 small dogs for 4 nights. We hope she is available every time we need a pet sitter. She provided photos every day and there were no issues the entire time. Thanks again Sydney!

My dogs love Haley! I have one easy angel pup and another not so easy grumpy pup, and Haley quickly won them both over. She has a great presence that commands respect which is important for our pup who needs boundaries during introductions. She provided us with updates and photos while we were gone and we will absolutely have her help us again!!

About: Hi! I’m an experienced, dependable animal lover who understands that your pets are family. My goal is to provide exceptional care while giving you complete peace of mind whenever you’re away. I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets and have worked alongside my sister in her successful pet sitting business, which has proudly served the Greater Portland area for over 15 years. Through that experience, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, love, plenty of attention, and lots of belly rubs (if they approve!). Whether your pet needs a midday walk, drop-in visits, overnight care, or extra companionship while you’re away, I’m committed to keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. You can expect reliable communication, photo updates, and careful attention to any special instructions, medications, feeding schedules, or routines. I take pride in being dependable, detail-oriented, and making both pets and their owners feel comfortable. To ensure everyone is a great fit, I require a meet-and-greet before all new bookings. This gives us the opportunity to get to know one another, answer any questions, and help your pet feel comfortable before our first visit. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member and provide the loving care they deserve! I work full-time during the weekdays, but pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for. I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits, as well as overnight stays depending on my schedule. I strive to be flexible and will always communicate clearly about my availability. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care that fits your pet’s routine and gives you peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I treat every home with the utmost respect and every pet as if they were my own. You’ll receive regular updates and photos during each visit, so you’ll always know how your furry family member is doing. I also require a meet-and-greet before new bookings to ensure we’re a great fit and to help your pet feel comfortable before our first visit.

Melissa was wonderful with our nervous rescue pup. She took the time to get to know her at a pace that made our dog feel comfortable and safe. Melissa followed all of our instructions perfectly and left our home looking immaculate. When our flight home was unexpectedly canceled, Melissa went above and beyond to make sure our dog was well cared for until we made it back. We had complete peace of mind knowing she was there. I think our dog has found a new best friend!

Meghan stayed at our house during our vacation and was great with our older, anxious dog. We left a long list of detailed notes and she carried out everything task we asked, including giving med to Paco and filling birdfeeders. We came home to a clean house (always appreciated). I highly recommend Meghan and hope we can have her return in the future.

About: I love dogs! I get so excited each time I see a dog ... the same way a teenager does to their first love, or a man to a new grill/smoker, or a woman to a Christmas craft fair. I'd love to make your pet feel loved and cared for when their favorite person (you!) is away from home. I lost my sweet, sweet girl to a brain tumor November 2025. While I'm not ready to take on a new dog of my own, I'd be so pleased to care for yours while you're away. You can be sure I will treat them with care and affection, same as I did for my own. Each dog is different and I will do my best to cater my care to their needs, safety, comfort, and (healthy) stimulation. My home is small but the love inside it is not. I can provide walks of whatever duration/frequency your dog needs, car rides to new sites/sounds/smells (if you approve), and 'bonus bites' of foodlove (again at your approval). Pets are allowed on furniture and beds. Above all I will respect what you tell me the boundaries are for your pet. I know what it's like to be away from your 4-legged best friend and will provide daily updates with pictures but if you want more often than that, you need only ask. About me: I've helped train 6 puppies and helped with dedicated senior care on two of my own dogs (including soft tissue injuries and a brain tumor diagnosis with resultant seizures). I grew up in a house with a dog from birth to college and actively helped take care of them. Since 2006 when I graduated college I have had two dogs and each have solely relied on me for their care including health problems, surgery healing, etc. Smoke free, child free, cat free home. I am comfortable with all sizes, ages, breeds, and attitudes of dogs. I am comfortable administering oral and rectal meds but would not be a good fit for someone who had a dog needing an injection (sorry!). I am comfortable with dogs who are very 'high maintenance' on their med and feeding schedule as my own brain tumor experience can attest to how exacting, detailed, and difficult that can be. My calendar should always reflect when I'm available to help. I typically work M-F 6am to 5pm and am flexible to accommodate you outside of those times. I'm able to provide house sitting services at your home OR weekend boarding in my home. First - what you want for your dog matters most. Please communicate training, behavioral, food, outing, and other expectations and I will do my very best to check every box! After that - I care for pets by putting the pet first and giving them as much love as they'd like! I live alone in an apartment up a flight of stairs. While I can provide some help up the stairs, it would be ideal if larger dogs can do a flight of stairs multiple times a day. In my home I do not leave anything dangerous down. Specifically, I'm in the habit of not leaving food down due to my own food-hound. Trash is covered and frequently dumped to avoid trash calamity. A bench at the bottom of my bed with a rug under it ensures safe jumps from floor to bed. Rugs make the living room more comfortable for pups. I can lift dogs in and out of cars when required (as I did for my own sweet girl). Walks employ harnesses to safeguard the throat and trachea. I have pet gates to isolate pets if owners request (healing/safety). I'd speak to owners about acceptable treats, food schedule, medication schedule, and any furniture rules. Please note I have uploaded pics of my new home onto the app and put them near the top ... but many of the existing pics you see with other pets are inside of my past home.

About: Hi! I am a licensed veterinary technician whose passion has been pets and animals my whole life! Before I was an LVT, I worked at a well known doggy daycare and boarding facility while I was in college. Even before that, I would pet sit for friends and family. I have experience with dogs, cats (I’m a crazy cat lady at heart), pocket pets (guinea pigs, rats, hamsters), farm animals, and the occasional snake! I’ll love your fur babies like my own! I currently work in Portland Tuesday-Friday 7:30-6pm. I would love to take care of your pets outside these hours if that fits their lifestyle! I have reliable transportation to come to your home and take care of your pets! I will follow any specific directions you have for your pet, their safety and comfort is my priority. I am knowledgeable on animal behavior and will treat them as if they were my own pet to make sure they get the best treatment! At this time, I cannot take pets into my own home.

Another fantastic experience with Michele! She is so caring and super communicative when she is spending time with Bob. I love that she keeps him moving and grooving, whether they’re going out for a walk or playing chase around our home. I feel 100% at ease leaving Bob in Michele’s care.

Rachael was loved immediately by my pup! She helped me in a pinch last minute when I needed overnight care. She is kind, punctual, sent me updates & stayed in touch. It’s really nice to not have to reach out about your pet, and to already have updates and photos when you check your phone!!! Delilah and I look forward to working with you again. 😊

About: I had 2 dogs myself and I cared for them and made sure they were happy 24/7. I have a passion for any size, shape, friendly or non friendly. I love to cuddle with dogs, especially with the fluffy ones. My favorite breed are labs. I had a lab myself and they are the best dogs out there. I’m pretty good giving the dogs their supper at the usual time they eat. I always play with them and take them for walks. Just to be aware of for the dog owners. I have Tourette’s syndrome but won’t hurt anybody or any dog. Just an FYI. I’m looking forward of meeting anyone’s dog or dogs. Thank you for the time reading this. And god bless you all.

FAQs for House Sitting - Newfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Newfield on Rover is $75 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of August 2026, there are 762 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Newfield. 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 Newfield 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 Newfield 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 Newfield 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.

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

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
