“Fantastic house/dog sitter! She did an AMAZING job taking care of my two dogs and keeping us in the loop with daily photos and reports. If you get the opportunity to book with Alexa do it!!”
“Troy & Shalah were excellent sitters for my puppies! They stayed overnight and made sure the dogs were happy and comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated all the picture updates and the care they put in. The house was spotless when we returned, and the pups were very content. I’ll definitely be booking them again for our next overnight stays!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets most of my life. I love dogs, and am always the go-to for friends and family when they need a pet sitter. I work full time as a teacher, so my schedule is open during the summer months. The rest of the year, I am available weekdays after 5pm, and most weekends. My own dog was crate trained, but I am comfortable with both crated and free roaming pets. I love snuggling on the couch with a pup or two, and am happy to stick to the routine that works best for your pet!
“Michael was great! He was reliable and courteous. He took very good care of our dog and our house. He sent pictures and video clips every day. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in Michael’s care and I would hire him again in a heartbeat!”
About: I have owned dogs and cats of all sizes and I am comfortable with both puppies and senior animals. I have a secure, large yard, air conditioning, and full-time availability to spoil your pet. (My dog has passed so no pets live in the home). I'm very attuned to animals needs and make sure they're comfortable and calm. I am happy to host multiple pets at once as long as your pet is friendly (can host cats alone without other animals). I work from home part time. My house is very chill and my schedule is flexible. I rarely need to leave the house, and if your dog has separation anxiety i can plan to be fully available. I drive so I can attend to pets as needed throughout the day and evening at your home. If at my home, we will mostly hang out on the first floor where your pet can access food and water. I provide frequent bathroom breaks and time out in the yard (or a quick walk around the neighborhood). At clients homes, I make sure the pet is comfortable in its natural environment, play, and take them outside as needed.
“This was my first time using Rover, and Kim completely exceeded my expectations. From the very beginning, she was responsive, friendly, and proactive — offering to do a video call and a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone felt comfortable. She stayed at our home for four days with our two large-breed dogs, and she handled everything like a true professional. One of our dogs requires slow introductions, and Kim wasn’t phased at all. She followed his lead, respected his pace, and within an hour they were already best friends. Throughout the stay, she provided consistent updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and a house that was honestly cleaner than when we left it. I will absolutely book Kim again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and capable sitter.”
“We were so happy with all the help and care Gianna provided to our pets while we were out of town. We will absolutely request Gianna in the future and would recommend her services to all our pets while parents. Thank you Gianna!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always the one wanting to bring home stray animals to care for and protect! I’ve had both cats and dogs of my own, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I also have over 10 years of pet-sitting experience caring for animals for neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve cared for pets during everything from quick day trips to week-long vacations, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and keeping up with their normal routines. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets while you’re away, and I’ll always treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I have a flexible schedule that makes pet care easy to fit into my day. I work a full-time job, but I have work-from-home days as well as the flexibility to take breaks throughout the day when needed. I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet gets the attention, walks, feeding, and care they need! I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I always follow the owner’s instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whether that means leashed walks, playtime in the yard, feeding, medication, or simply keeping them company, their safety and comfort will always come first.
About: I am currently a German Shepherd mom, but I have experience owning and training dogs of all sizes! The most important thing I have learned in my experience with dogs is that they are all different regardless of breed. I cannot wait to build a bond with your furry friend and give them the care they deserve! Additionally, I have received professional training for use of an e-collar and prong collar, should your furry friend need to be walked with either of those. On the weekdays, I usually get home around 6:30, and I like to go for a leisurely walk as opposed to the gym, so it would be the perfect time to walk your furry friend! Additionally, I work as a grad student in a research lab, and I make my own work schedule. So, my schedule is relatively flexible, and I can be available in the early morning or late night if need be. I own a German shepherd, so I am very experienced in providing the time and attention necessary to stimulate and occupy your furry friend during our walks. Additionally, the apartment complex I live in has a private dog park that your furry friend can be taken to if you’re interested.
“Joshua took a last minute booking and spent the day with Kenny. He was on time, kind and communicated well. Couldn’t have asked for better. We look forward to working with him again 🙂🐕🦺”
“Kim and Bill, the dynamic duo, are the perfect people to watch your fur baby. I usually get anxious when leaving my dog at home, but Kim and Bill updated me frequently about Luna and sent me lots of pictures. They truly are the best!”
“Janaah was wonderful, I felt very comfortable leaving my dog Willow for several days and nights!!--Janaah is very kind and tolerant of "special needs" pets and medications --my senior dog was terrific when I got back--not stressed or having any issues whatsoever !!”
“Mykelle is the best! Super communicative, professional and great with our dog. Our pup loves her so much. So thankful to find such a great caretaker for him. Highly recommended!”
“Highly recommend Jimi for all your pups needs. We hired Jimi to house sit and watch our Oliver for a long weekend. We couldn’t be happier, he was extremely communicative and gave great updates on our pup and was extremely respectful of the house. We came home to a happy pup and a clean house. We are really grateful!!”
About: I have cared for family and friends pets since I was 14 years old. Combined with my love for animals and attention to detail, my skill set has helped to create a special experience for each pets needs. From energetic dogs needing more patience and structure to senior pets who need a little more tend love and care! I am currently working full-time, 7am-2:30pm (M-F). However, on weekends and afternoons I am free to devote my time to caring for your pets. I don't work summers which allows me the flexibility to provide the best care needed to each of your fur pups. When caring for my own and other pets safety and trust is a top priority. Each pet is different however I still make it my business to make sure pets and parents of pets feel comfortable by catering to their specific needs in and out of my home. In my own home, I make sure the environment is free from anything that can be toxic to animals such as exposed wire, toxic plants, or foods. I maintain consistency with pet schedules to ensure each animal feels comfortable. I have a large backyard that is partially fenced in so pets can get regular exercise. I also have one mini poodle that goes by Karter, if it meets the pets needs Karter is great company to keep to promote interaction and stimulation throughout the day.
“I was so happy to leave my dog in Bill’s capable and caring hands. I got lots of updates throughout my trip and Bill was very attentive to the details and little quirks that my dog has. I look forward to having him back in the future!”
“Another great experience working with Rich! I will definitely be using him on a regular basis. The photos he sent were so well captured I will be printing them out for my wall💚”
About: I’ve house sat for friends and family for many years (dogs and cats included). I also work at an animal hospital, so I have some first aid experience as well. I typically will have work either from 7-2 or 2-8:30 most days. But I am willing to find the time to care for your pet as I do the pets at work I go at your pets’ pace. I know every pet has their own personalities and quirks so I do my best to accommodate them where they are at.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newportville
Excellent care and communication! Jimi connected with my cats upon first meeting them and they were right at home with him. Photo updates and periodic check-ins made leaving my cats easier knowing they were well tended to. It was also wonderful to come home to a clean and tidy space and tend to unpacking rather than the linens, vacuuming, and dishes. I would highly recommend Jimi to care for your pets and home.
Bridgett was a wonderful care taker for our 2 standard poodles. She took them on long walks and sent pictures of them enjoying the sunshine. Bridgett stayed in our home for 8 nights and we came home to a very clean and orderly home. I would definitely use her again.
Alyssa was wonderful! Will use her again! This was my first experience with having a dog sitter and through this site! Would highly recommend! Alyssa came prior to our vacation and met us and lady. Super sweet girl! During our trip she kept in contact since she knew I was nervous and sent lots of pictures! Thank you again Alyssa!
This is our first time using the Rover service and so glad we did! Rachel was awesome and couldn't asked for better care for our 2 cats. Rachel arrived as expected and stayed and played with them each time, sending pictures along the way. I felt very comfortable with Rachel and how well our babies took to her. Will definitely be using Rachel for future needs. Thanks Rachel!!! 🐾
Randi is fantastic! She was great with my dog, spending lots of time with her while we were away. Our flight was delayed and she was super flexible to work with our new plans so that I didn’t have to worry about the dog while trying to get home. Randi was also very communicative so I didn’t have any worries!

FAQs for House Sitting - Newportville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Newportville 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 5,337 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Newportville. 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 Newportville 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 Newportville 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 Newportville 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 Newportville. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
