About: Hi my name is Ashley and I offer more than just a walk or drop in; I provide hands-on experience with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments through volunteering, fostering, and having my own dog. I am comfortable with high-energy puppies to seniors requiring a gentle touch, and I understand that every dog has a unique personality and specific needs. I have an understanding of a dogs body language and behavior. I can anticipate the needs and manage reactivity, making sure your dog is in a stress-free environment. I am physically capable and experienced in handling large, powerful breeds. Whether your dog is a puller or not I have the strength and technique to keep them safe and happy. I tailor my interactions based on whether your dog is anxious, timid, or over-excited. I treat every dog Im with like they are my own with love and respect. I believe its very important for the animal to trust me and the owner. I am a stay at home mom and love being around animals. My availability is open to your specific needs. I always try to assist anyone even on short notice. Caring for your pet in your home is something I take very seriously. Since it involves entering your residence and taking over the responsibility for your pet, I believe that having a trusting relationship with the pet and owner is crucial. I always like to have a meet and greet this way we see how the your pet reacts to me and it gives me the chance to learn your routine.
“Madison!!! Can’t say enough great things about her! She was the first person I hired off of this site and she was absolutely awesome! Everything went smoothly! She was so good to my pets and I felt so safe having her stay in our home. She’s very down to earth and you can tell she loves animals. I would ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND HER to literally anyone and everyone!!”
“Jessika was great! She communicated a lot, sent pictures, looked after my home and treated my family just like they were her own! She was also attentive and super helpful, asking if there was anything she could help with around the house awhile I was away. If I could give her 10 stars I would ☺️”

In the clients home : We would play, go for walks if the dog enjoys them . I like to snuggle and sit with them, I will converse with them . I always make sure they have fresh water .
“Jordan was awesome. She didn’t sign up for this, but was stuck on one of the islands during the big Nor’Easter watching our dog Frannie. She did an amazing job keeping her safe while braving the storm. She was one of the MVPs of our wedding weekend”

“Amy was an amazing sitter! I felt completely at ease having her in my home with my dogs, who absolutely adored her. She kept me updated throughout their stay, sent lots of pictures, and even handled a tornado warning, making sure the dogs were safe and secure. I would highly recommend her and would happily have her sit again in the future!”
“John was able to help us out last minute with our two pets over Thanksgiving. He did an excellent job over that time taking care of them, giving us frequent updates and pictures about our pets.”
“Lisa took expert care of Zelda while I visited friends in another state. Her attention to detail and focus on the animals within her care were a godsend this past weekend when my pup needed unexpected medical care during Lisa’s time dog sitting. Lisa was nothing but empathetic to me, a frantic dog owner, and took excellent care of Zelda while bringing her to the vet daily for treatment. She sent extra pics and photos to help ease my fears and concerns, and made sure I was comfortable enough to finish out my trip while Zelda got the care she needed. I cannot thank Lisa enough for her clear communication, ability and willingness to adjust her care plan, and care for Zelda as if she were her own dog. Lisa is always my first call when I need pet care!”
“Kelly was amazing! She took the time to make sure our babies were comfortable and happy while we were away. She was caring & wonderful with our 13 year old greyhound and played with our playful 3 year old cat. She had sent tons of pictures! We will continue to use Kelly and highly recommend her.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,582 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
