“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!”
“Courtney did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs while we were away! We came home to two happy dogs and a house that was clean and tidy. She responded quickly and kept us in the loop the entire time. I would highly recommend, Courtney.”
“Sofia did a wonderful job caring for our personable cat and elderly high-maintenance little dog in our home. She was punctual, asked great questions, and hit that sweet spot of keeping us comfortably informed about how things were going back home without bombarding us with too many updates. We returned home to two content pets who were happy to see us and a house that looked pretty much exactly as we had left it. Our dog, especially, has developed pretty severe separation anxiety as she ages and she was in GREAT spirits when we came home. We hope to book Sofia again in the future...in fact, we might even schedule our next travel plans around her availability.”
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.
“Tati took wonderful care of our three pups, especially our 14 year old Westie. Tati was friendly and professional and took good care of the house while watching our pups. I highly recommend Tati and will request her again!”
“Lillian communicated with us throughout the time she was watching our dog!! She sent multiple updates and it is very clear that she cared for our dog very well!! Also the house was spotless when she left which was a huge plus !! We will for sure keep her in mind for our next trip!”
“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.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Patrick! He took care of our dog like it was his own & sent many updates. I would highly recommend him to take care of your animals. Looking forward to using his services again!”
“Julianne spent 2 overnights with our little Havanese, and we couldn't have been happier with her. Not only was she very responsible with following instructions as to his care but she also showed she was someone we can trust to stay in our home. Frequent updates with photos assured us that things we going smoothly. She won our shy one-year-old Jaco over. Will use her again.”
“Five stars across the board. From start to finish, Mary was communicative, reliable, and incredibly attentive. Daily photo updates kept us in the loop the whole time, and she followed every instruction we left without needing reminders. We have a senior dog on a strict diet and daily medication — something that requires real attention to detail — and she handled it flawlessly. On top of that, she walked both dogs every day and kept the house clean and tidy throughout the stay. She treated our home and our dogs with real care. Highly recommend and will definitely book again.”
“We have special needs very spoiled pups and Amanda was so loving and caring! It was our first trip where we weren’t in driving distance and I didn’t worry a bit! She went above when we had cat food issues. I can’t say enough great things about Amanda!”
“Leah took great care of our pup! We had such peace of mind while we were away. She spent lots of quality time with him at home and on walks, definitely goes above and beyond! Glad we found her!”
About: Caring for animals with compassion and understanding has always come natural to me! I have been dog sitting for friends and family for over 7 years and I have been a volunteer dog walker at the NHSPCA for 3 years. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your pet. I have a senior dog, Eddie, and experience caring for senior dogs at the NHSPCA. I also have a reactive dog, Thor, and experience caring for reactive dogs at the NHSPCA. When I come to take care of, play with, or walk your dogs, I will dedicate my time to loving them. As an owner of two dogs myself, I know the nerves of being away and having someone else care for them. I am here to ease those nerves and accommodate any and all requests you have for your pet! I am currently in between future plans for college and work part-time picking up shifts at a restaurant, so I will have plenty of time for your dogs! I am home Monday-Sunday and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! I am also very flexible and can accept last minute bookings. When I am in your home, I would love to take your dogs for walks, to local parks, the beach, or anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable!
“Amanda and Erin were awesome! They took time to do a meet and greet before staying in our home with our Mini-Aussie and were communicative throughout the entire process. We felt very good about the care she was getting while gone for 8 days. We came home to a happy pup and a tidy home. We much appreciate the professionalism and would definitely book again. Thank you Amanda and Erin!!”
“Brittany took great care of Wrigley and Etta while we were away at Disney World. Leaving Etta is always stressful because she struggles with separation anxiety and requires daily medication, but Brittany made the whole experience so much easier. She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and pictures, let us know how they were doing, and made sure Etta got her medication. Both dogs got plenty of walks, attention, and love while we were away. The biggest thing for me was coming home to two happy, relaxed dogs. It was clear they were well cared for and comfortable with Brittany. Having someone we could trust with our dogs gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone. We would absolutely book with Brittany again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive to their pets.”
“Peach stayed at our condo for 1 week and took great care of our cat and home. She entertained him, gave him lots of love and cuddles and he felt super comfortable with her from the start. The entire time she sent pictures and videos and gave us updates. She was flexible with a last minute change and communicated well from the beginning. She also left our place spotless.”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Newfields on Rover is $61.05 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 1,284 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
- 99% 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.
