“Cody was amazing with our two dogs, Tessie and Rosie. She made sure they were walked and okayed with and went to the bathroom…not easy with one of our two! She took a lot of photos and I can tell my dogs had so much fun with her. We will definitely want Cody to care for our pups again!”

“Lydia is amazing with our two pups. Always on time to let them out and takes some amazing pictures so we don’t miss them too much! The check in throughout the few days we were gone helped ease my anxiety of leaving them while I’m away! Lydia is a great sitter and would recommend to anyone! ☺️”

“Sofia was extremely conscientious and communicative with us, while she looked after our cat and fish while we were on an extended trip. Our cat is a senior kitty and needs a fair bit of TLC and Sofia was wonderful with him, engaging him with his favorite toys and making sure his prescription food needs were met. Everything was cleaned and neatly put away when we came home, and that we appreciated as well. We highly recommend Sofia and will definitely be booking her for our future pet sitting needs!”

About: Unable to have pets of my own, I love taking care of others! I love cat sitting - although I am a dog lover from the start. I love learning each pet’s distinct personality, the ways they play, nonverbal messaging and patterns. I am comfortable giving medications - having had a cat that lived well into her 20s, as well as kitten care. I love dogs, especially walks, play time and petting! I am a vetted and trusted house sitter in Portsmouth. For cats, I typically do a morning feed and play time, lunch time check in for play, brushing or just presence and an evening hang out - food, litter box, play time and cuddle time. When I have time off I like to spend it with the animals. I can come to you and will treat your home better than my own - more like I am looking for a five-star airbnb review. I am quiet and mostly want to spend time with your pet and read.

About: Hi! Heya! Hello! Are you looking for someone to care for your pet while your away? Well you've found them! Fun, energetic animal lover who can't wait to meet your pet! Drop-ins and Walking! Volunteer work with B.A.R.K, S.P.C.A, as well as experience working as a kennel assistant at Holiday Barn Pet Resort. Why I love dog sitting? I've always gravitated towards animals; I was that kid who brought home any animal that crossed my path, feeding strays, foresting. Growing up in a home where the pet to human ratio always favored pets, pet sitting is second nature to me. My experience administering medication I've done my fair share of administering medication to all sorts of animals. I am able to administer oral, injections, topical ointments, as well as suppositories. I currently work a dual remote position at NHPBS and have the flexibility to work from home which allows me ample time to provide the attention and care your pet requires. I’ll be an extension of your home and care. The goal is to provide a safe environment where your pet feels loved and has an enjoyable stay until your return.

About: I have owned 3 cats in my life and provided care for countless cats & dogs over the years. My kitty passed away at the beginning of the year and I am still mourning his loss but very happy to give love to your pet and get my furry friend fix! It’s important to me that animals still get good care when their owners are away and I work remotely so if staying at your home for a few hours at a time is necessary, I am able to! I work from home and my schedule is fairly flexible, so daily check ins are fairly easy for me to accommodate! If it’s suitable with you, I can work from your home too to spend more time with your pet! I treat every pet I meet with patience and care. I understand every cat or dog is different and giving them time and space is sometimes the best thing for them. I understand that I am stranger coming in to their home and I respect that. I treat them with love and care as if they were my own! My senior cat passed away at the beginning of this year and I desperately miss him, so having an opportunity to still spend time with cats and give them love is really important to me!

About: Kristine and Eric have loved and had animals our entire life. I have always helped care for pets, even as a child. Eric was raised on a farm, caring for many different kinds of animals- waking up before dawn to ensure that all animals were properly cared for and had what they needed for the day whether it be rain, shine, snow, sleet, hot, or cold. We, together, have two dogs. They are both around 10 years old and are rescues. We also have 6 chickens. Our home has a door from the downstairs to the upstairs. When dogs are home during the day and if left alone for 1 hour or so they stay downstairs with access to water, comfy couches, and dog bed areas. When we are home they have free run of the home. We also have a crate for dogs that may need a private, safe space. We have a back yard that our dog enjoys playing in, but just so you know it is not fenced in, therefore dogs remain leashed when in the back yard. We do have a deck that is closed off in the backyard where dogs can be left unleashed to hang out, but always supervised when out there. We also have a 15 year old daughter who loves animals. She assists with the care of our dogs and we have fostered a few dogs in the past from various shelters and she is always eager to assist with making these dogs feel comfortable and give them love. She volunteers at a local animal shelter with small mammals and takes care of the chickens I work full time during the school year for a school district. Eric works from home. Eric takes dogs for a number of walks per day including walks to the local dog park (Rogers Park) and to local beaches for exercise and socialization. I am home by 3:30 pm and bring my dogs (and other dogs) for exercise either running, hiking, or walking. In the summer I am mostly around. I also grew up with cats and with both have experience with cats and providing meds to cats, including insulin shots. I work full time and Eric works part to full time but we can walk dogs in the evening and walk dogs throughout the day on the weekends. I have summers off as I work in a school. I will not be offering care in my home, but am excited to take care of your pet and walk your dog and take your dog on adventures.

“Gracie is a true animal lover and it shows upon meeting her. I was nervous to try out Rover for the first time for my senior cat. Meeting Gracie calmed all my nerves - it was so clear she loves and respects all animals. She was prompt on each visit, took care of all my cat’s needs, and even brought him toys. I will surely check to see if Gracie is available anytime I need to be out of town for care of my boy.”

About: Dogs were my first love. I've cared for dogs young and old, adopted and fostered dogs, raised puppies, provided training at all ages, and provided post-op and healthcare for unwell dogs. I have extensive experience loving and supporting dogs through their toughest moments, including separation anxiety, phobias, and illnesses. I've walked with pups from all paws of life - all breeds, ages, energies, and personalities - and loved them all!! All dogs are wonderful, and I will never, ever discriminate by breed. As a full-time dog pamperer, I've got plenty of attention, love, toys, and fluffy blankets to keep your furbaby happy and loved while you are away! I will love your dog exactly as they are - high-energy, low-energy, and everything in between. Whether they want endless walks or endless snuggles, I am excited to make your dog's stay an unforgettable getaway just for them! I know how hard it is to trust someone with your best friend. I'm happy to go above and beyond to make you feel confident that your pet is in good hands - from photos and updates to video check-ins. Your comfort matters to me just as much as your furbaby's. I always provide top-tier pet care, giving you peace of mind so you can enjoy your vacation to the fullest! I have a highly flexible schedule that allows me to give your pup all the love and attention they deserve! I am delighted to accommodate your furbaby anytime with enough notice. I am available for boarding weekends and weekdays, any time of year. My dog is the center of my universe, and I will treat your pup like they were my own! My house is their house, and my furniture is their furniture! My wonderful 9-year-old dog, Cleo, will be happy to keep your furbaby company. She's super friendly, low-energy, and always eager for a cuddle. I have access to a private dog park, an unfenced yard, and easy access to nearby nature trails, parks, and beaches! I can't wait to meet your furbaby!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Newington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Newington is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 and $19 per visit. 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.

As of November 2026, there are 1,499 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Newington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
