“Once again, Amy took such good care of our elderly cat, administering medications and providing ample pets and cuddles. She left our home clean and tidy. We came home to a happy, healthy cat.”
“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.”
“Ty was great with Baby. He noticed that she was shy and a little unfamiliar with him and let me know right away so we could figure out a solution. She settled in and will enjoy seeing him again”

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover, raising my dogs from just eight weeks old and caring for them through every stage of life\. My beloved Siberian Husky, Indie, was a rescue who needed extra patience, love, attention, and individualized care\. That experience taught me the importance of building trust, understanding each dog’s unique personality, and creating a safe, loving environment. I bring patience, reliability, attentiveness, and genuine affection to every pet in my care\. I understand that pets are family, and I will treat yours with the same love and dedication I gave my own. Being retired gives me the wonderful opportunity to spend my time doing something I love — caring for animals and taking nice, long walks in the woods\! I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care\. I enjoy staying active and being outdoors, so pet sitting and dog walking are a natural fit for my lifestyle\. I look forward to providing companionship, affection, and dependable care while giving pet owners peace of mind. Whether pets stay in my home or I care for them in their own home, I treat them like family. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment, follow their routines and instructions carefully, and give them plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and affection. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate my time and attention to the pets in my care. My goal is to help every pet feel happy, secure, and well cared for while giving their owners peace of mind.
“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’ve spent over 15 years caring for animals, both my own and other people’s. I currently have two huskies and two cats, but my experience goes well beyond dogs and cats. I’ve also cared for reptiles, birds, fish, small animals, and other exotic pets. I have previous pet sitting and dog walking experience, and I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve raised puppies and kittens, cared for senior animals, and administered medications to both dogs and cats. I’m especially happy to help with multi-pet households, including families with several different types of animals. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. My schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to accommodate recurring walks, drop-in visits, and vacation care when my schedule allows. I also offer boarding, daycare, and occasional house sitting on a more selective basis. Feel free to reach out with your dates and what you’re looking for! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I know how important it is to feel confident that your animals are in good hands while you’re away. At home, I have a fenced-in yard, two huskies, two cats, and plenty of indoor space. For boarding and daycare, I prefer a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable. I have separate areas available when needed and take introductions seriously. When caring for pets in your home, I’m respectful of your space and careful to follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, and any household routines.
“From the moment we met Michela and saw her interact with our labs and kitty we knew she would take great care of our pets. She surpassed our expectations. We received daily updates and photos. It was a delight to have Michela help us. We look forward to possibly having her stay again.”
About: I tailor every experience to your pup’s unique energy, boundaries, and personality. Providing dog walking and house-sitting services since 2017, alongside a lifetime of loving animals, I bring both experienced reliability and an attentive care to every visit. Whether we are exploring new trails, going on a neighborhood sniffari, or enjoying time at home, I pay attention to body language so play, rest, and snuggles always happen on your dog’s terms. I am passionate about collaborating with pet parents to maintain training and routine that keeps your pup safe, happy, and fulfilled.When I'm not on the job, you can find me "borrowing" my colleagues' dogs just to squeeze in an extra adventure! Working on a part-time schedule gives me flexibility throughout the day for routine drop-ins, feedings, medication schedules, and play sessions. I’m also available for occasional overnight stays to keep your pets relaxed and comfortable in their own environment while you're away. I provide care in your home, which keeps your pets in their most comfortable, familiar environment. I treat your home with respect, following all household security routines and leaving your space clean and tidy. During every drop-in or overnight stay, I follow your care instructions, maintain training, medication, and meal routines, and closely monitor your pet's safety and well-being. Plus, you can always expect picture updates so you have full peace of mind while away!
About: I’ve taken care of my dog Bean (named after bean from the tv show Even Stevens because of my last name!) for almost 10 years. She has chronic medical issues that require daily medication. She’s also been dog reactive her whole life which has given me an entire new way of thinking when we’re on walks. If you’re concerned about your dog’s reactivity or size, don’t be! I’ve experienced it for 9 years and am able to accommodate to whatever they need. I currently work full-time from home, but have very good flexibility with my schedule. Meaning I can pretty much accommodate any schedule you might need. I’d treat your pets just like one of my own. My dog isn’t a dog, she’s like a child to me. She actually gets shredded deli meat with her meals or else she won’t eat it! They’d be spoiled just like my own.
“Heather did an amazing job with our dogs while we were on vacation. She was communicative, flexible, and very understanding. I could tell she enjoys being around the dogs and taking care of them. We will definitely be using her again!”
“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.”
About: I have always been such a dog lover and have gained experience taking care of others dogs as well as my own dog in the past 5 years. I am a very active person so I love to take my dog and others outside for walks, hikes and adventures. My dog is a rescue which has provided me with experience in what it takes to make a dog feel comfortable, loved and well taken care of in their home environment. I work in healthcare however in a very flexible position that allows me to make my own schedule. That way I can work around the needs of the dog. It is so important to me to give each pet the care that they deserve and to make them as comfortable and cared for as possible in their home.
About: Hello! My name is Tim and I am here on Rover to expand a startup dog care service. I have always loved dogs, and life guided me into a career in dog care and training. I started working at its a dogs world in York, ME at their daycare eight years ago and fell in love with dogs even more! Our customers started inquiring about dog sitting and my dog sitting career was born. I have been dog sitting for the entirety of the time I have been with IDW. I then learned how to be a PR+ trainer and have been teaching classes and private lessons for the past 6 years. I own a Pyr X named Misty who has been fearful for most of her life, but we have made a lot of progress over the years. If you own a fearful dog and don't have anyone who you can trust, I am your guy! In the future I plan on focusing on rehabilitating fearful dogs. If you are interested in my services, please contact me via the app. I have plenty of references if you require some.
“We were very happy to have left our energetic pitbull Gunner in the care of Chandler during our week vacation. We appreciated the ease of communication before, during and after Chandlers stay at our house. Gunner was in great spirits when we got home as well the house was just as clean as when we left it. We would certainly recommend Chandler to look after your pup as well we will definitely re-hire Chandler in the future.”
“Again, Sarah was wonderful in taking care of Lucy. She was available for my last minute request and managed everything well. She even watered my plants! Sarah always goes above and beyond. Lucy always seems very happy and content upon my return. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and rescued a cat while in college. I have also taken care of my friends/family’s pets when they are away. I work night shift and have a somewhat flexible work schedule that only takes up 3 nights per week. I’m willing to work with you to coordinate the care of your pet and can make schedule changes with enough advance. I can adjust easily to the routine typically done for the pet and will honor the wishes of the owner. I abide by leash laws and use an abundance of caution during interactions with other animals or people.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Newfields is $65

Laurie was simply fabulous - courteous, friendly, and responsible. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking someone lovely to both watch your dog and house sit. Great communication skills and very informational. I would gladly ask her to watch Bunnie again. Thank you very much Laurie!!!!!
OUTSTANDING! Kate was incredibly kind, communicative, and professional! She stayed two nights at our home and took the best care of our three pets. Every photo she sent us showed them playing, happy, and in their routines. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. I am a natural worry-wart and I felt nothing but confidence in Kate's abilities, as well as her compassion for our boys. We will definitely be booking with her again! THANK YOU KATE!
Lillian was wonderful with our dogs! She was very communicative throughout our trip and sent us lots of pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. She took Max for a walk every day and made sure he got his medication both morning and night. Max usually has some separation anxiety when we’re away and tends to sulk outside, so we were especially happy to see that he seemed content, comfortable, and happy the entire time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Lillian and would happily have her watch them again!
From the moment we met Michela and saw her interact with our labs and kitty we knew she would take great care of our pets. She surpassed our expectations. We received daily updates and photos. It was a delight to have Michela help us. We look forward to possibly having her stay 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Newfields is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $81 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newfields. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
