“Katherine was great - she stayed overnight at our house and she took great care of our animals and house. She kept us updated with pictures and videos of all the animals. She was very flexible when we were returning home and her communication was overall excellent. We'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their animals!”
“Sarah is absolutely wonderful!!! She is incredibly responsive to text messages and took such good care of our Sadie for 3 nights. This was the 1st time we left our 7 month old golden with anyone and of course, wanted everything to go smoothly. She sent me photos and updates and I didn’t have to worry at all. I would absolutely hire Sarah again without any hesitation!! I know you’ll love her!”
About: I’ve been helping a friend who has a dog walking business. Sprightly Paws and have enjoyed it so much. We are both members of the Exeter Run Club. My black lab has passed and I miss time spent with dogs. I’m retired and have plenty of time to enjoy walking dogs. Preferably Mon- Fri but sometimes available on weekends. If your dog likes to run, depending on your location I’m happy to run with them. I’m only available for dog walking. I don’t offer any dog sitting or daycare services. I live in Durham,NH right on the Newmarket line.
About: Since I was a young girl I was always the family remember in charge of making sure our pets were fed, entertained, trained and given exercise. Around the age of 10 was my first time watching over our neighbors new puppy as they went on vacation. At the time I was nervous but my energetic energy matched the puppy perfectly. Currently i’m renting an apartment at my college UNH with my cat and a roommate. My neighbors who have pets continuously asked me to watch them because of how much time and energy I put into carrying for them. Sometimes I only watch them for the day when work or school takes over and other for extended periods of time. If this becomes the case I make sure to walk and entertained the pet so that they don’t feel lonely. Cat sitting in house is my most common form of cat sitting. Cats and dogs have very different needs from a sitter that I can provide with my years of experience working and owning my own pets I’m currently on summer break until August so my availability to spend time with your fur babies is very open. Keeping in mind that it is still my break there will be times in which I wish to fully experience my summer :) If there is a fenced in yard or not, I still plan to take pups on daily leash walks to ensure safety of the both of us. Ultimately whatever the client feels most comfortable and confident with I will ensure to use those methods. This can include crate use, specific walk routes, specific animal preferences and more.
“Andy was wonderful. He did an amazing job taking care of our Anna. She's a large dog, 120 lbs, and many people are intimidated by her, but Andy was comfortable with her from the meet and greet. He followed our instructions, walked Anna as needed, was at our house during the times we agreed upon, and left the house neat and tidy. Andy excels at communication and sends photos regularly, which is reassuring when you're far away from home. He also texted and was quick to respond throughout our vacation and the booking process. We would definitely rebook him and recommend him to others. Sincerely Rebecca”
“Julianne was absolutely incredible with my dog, Lily, during a very challenging house-sitting stay while I was out of town. Lily struggles with separation anxiety and can be extremely slow to warm up to new people, and the first couple of days were honestly tough. Julianne handled everything with so much patience, compassion, calmness, and professionalism. She stayed in constant communication with me, provided thoughtful updates, problem-solved creatively, collaborated with neighbors Lily trusted, adjusted her approach based on Lily’s comfort level, and never once made me feel like Lily was ‘too much.’ Even through some anxious/reactive moments, she remained patient, understanding, and committed to helping Lily feel safe and secure. By the end of the stay, Lily was cuddling with her, walking with her, and happily spending time together. That turnaround says everything. Julianne genuinely cares about animals and goes far above and beyond what most sitters would do. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her, especially for anxious or more complicated dogs.”
“Ty literally came to the rescue for us. He was accommodating and so understanding of our ever changing plans. He arrived on time and was very communicative. When we arrived home our dog seemed quite content. We will use Ty again.”
“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!”
“Alissa was awesome! We spent 5 days traveling and were kept updated the whole time. She sent photos, updates and kept us very informed throughout the whole stay. We felt so comfortable being away because of how on top of it she was!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have taken care of my own dogs as well as friends and neighbors. I have experience with labs, golden retrievers, German shepherds, Rottweilers, and pit bulls mostly but love all dogs. I currently work full time Monday-Friday (this is important to note when booking me for house sitting) and would love to help people with walking their pets/letting them out after work or on the weekends. I can’t have pets in my apartment and greatly miss interacting with dogs! I am very respectful of other people’s homes. I am clean and appreciate instructions/rules on where food, collars/leashes, treats, etc are. I will keep your furry companions company, provide long walks, and scratches of course!
About: I have had lots of experience taking care of animals. As I was younger I learned how to take care of my family’s senior cat who needed a lot of help! This was in addition to helping out with other cats, dogs, and puppies owned by friends and family! I also have some experience working at an animal hospital, so I have a pretty good understanding of how to give medications to animals as well. Currently I have two 7 years old cats that I raised from when they were 5 weeks old and very sickly unfortunately, so they still need a lot of care. Taking care of animals brings me so much joy and I can’t wait to meet yours! I currently am an online student part-time at Great Bay Community College, so I do have plenty of free time that I want to put towards caring for animals. My schedule is currently pretty flexible, and I would be happy to work with clients and their schedules. I think trust is very important especially when letting someone into your home and caring for your pets! I like to keep open communication and make owners feel as comfortable as possible to provide peace of mind while away from their pets.
“Alex was absolutely amazing! It was our first time leaving our dog who has a lot of quirks and we were super nervous about it, but Alex kept us updated with photos, how he was everyday, and even took him to work with her! I would definitely recommend Alex , and would love to have her watch Teddy in the future:) Thank you!”
About: I have spent lots of time with elderly dogs and cats, and I love ensuring they have the consistent care they need while their humans are away. I have also worked with young pets who are house or litter box training. I also love fish, rodents, and reptiles! If you have a zoo at home, I may be the sitter for you. -Gwen (they/them) I currently nanny a small human part time, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. Week days I am available before 10:30am and after 3:00pm. Weekends I am free all day. Overnights are always available. I deeply value the trust it takes to have someone in your home taking care of your beloved furry friends. I strive to provide care that keeps pets happy, safe, and satisfied while maintaining a calm and clean environment in the home I am visiting.
“This was the first time we left our 5 year old doodle for a week with anyone other than family so we were a little apprehensive. Sandy took such good care of her, sending pictures and updates everyday. Her home is doggie heaven! Toys, treats and a lovely fenced in yard. Sandy is amazing and Maisy’s newest best friend!❤️ We highly recommend her!”
“We contacted Caley for a recent trip and were thankful to find her! She was great at staying in touch, providing updates and send us photos of our three pets! We were so happy to know there was someone keeping an eye on things while we were gone! We came home to very happy animals and Caley left our house in great shape! Thanks again!”

Brittany does an excellent job for my two kitties. I have used her service for the third time now, from a few to ca. 10 days of being away. She communicates daily as requested and is always responsive when approached, which for me is a crucial part of this arrangement. House and cats are just as I left when I come back. Can definitely recommend!
11:29 AM Kassidy had a wonderful way with my older dog, Sunny. She was very good at reading his moods and found creative solutions for feeding and walking him whenever he wasn't feeling up to his usual routine. She reached out to me with any questions and sent photos which was very reassuring. Sunny seemed to be comfortable with Kassidy right away and enjoyed snuggling up with her. I would definitely call on Kassidy again!
Gracie was able to help out last minute with our dog who requires a lot of eye drops. She came multiple times a day and was patient and gave our dog (and cats!) the care they needed. She responds quickly and sends lots of updates which we really appreciate! We will be having her back!

FAQs for House Sitting - Newfields
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Newfields on Rover is $61.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,286 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Newfields. 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 Newfields 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 Newfields 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 Newfields 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 Newfields. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
