“Elizabeth was first and foremost amazing with my doodle Myles. She has been very reliable and never disappoints. I highly recommend Elizabeth for any kind of pet sitting.

About: My name is Siera, I’m 26, I live in an apartment in Conover with my roommate Savannah. We have a big backyard for playing and there’s a nearby park. I love pet sitting and I need to make a little extra money for tuition and student loans. I am prepared to show your pups a loving and fun time. I can sit for a few types of pets including cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, as well as house sitting with basic household tasks. Willing to help as often as needed. I am willing to accommodate for special needs. I love to go on runs, so dog walking is right up my alley. Caring, loving and fun your fur babies will enjoy time and time again. Contact me if you have any questions. Thank you. I currently work in home with clients from 3:30-6:30 M-F. So I am not available for Pick Up during this time. Ask any additional questions as needed. I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s individual routine and needs. In my client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal schedule by providing fresh food and water, daily walks, exercise, playtime, medication administration (if needed), litter box or yard cleanup, and plenty of affection and companionship. I also keep the home tidy by cleaning up after pets, bringing in mail or packages, watering plants if requested, and ensuring the home remains secure while the owner is away. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with regular feeding, exercise, enrichment activities, and constant supervision. I treat every pet like family, paying close attention to their behavior and well-being to ensure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved throughout their stay. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their pets are receiving reliable, personalized care.

About: Senior care and med management are two things that I am very good at! I have 6 animals of my own that I adore very much! Every day I take care of my animals (cats, and dogs) I am available whenever and wherever I am needed! Always willing to help! In home services, walking, always safety first. Always treating animals as if they were my own pet! Very good at diagnosing the animal, whether high energy, or not!
“We booked a last minute travel and we were looking for someone to take care of our baby girl in our home, Lindsey got back to us quick, and was available. Lindsey is responsible, punctual and the most important, Lilica loved her! She sent us pictures of Lilica, we loved it, we could enjoy our travel knowing Lilica was in good hands! I highly recommend Lindsey to anyone looking for a great petsitter to take care of your furry friend while you are away! Thanks again Lindsey, Lilica misses you! Hope to see you again anytime soon!”
About: I’ve had furry friends of my own since childhood! I currently care for three dogs of my own: a senior purebred pit bull, a young and active pit mix, and a frenchie! So I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I treat every pet with the same patience, love, and attention I’d want someone to give my own. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and spoiled while you’re away! 🐾 I work Monday–Friday from 9 AM–5 PM, but I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine when booking! For house sitting, I can use my lunch break to check in on pets when needed, and I’ll communicate with you about their schedule and care needs ahead of time I do my 100% best to mimic the care and routine your pets are used to at home. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and attention, a calm companion, medication reminders, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll do my best to make their time away from you feel comfortable and stress-free. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates and photos while you’re away. I want you to feel confident knowing how your pet is doing and that they’re being cared for.

I definitely highly recommend her if you are looking for a sitter! 😊”

“Luke was AMAZING! He was very accommodating to our pet's needs. Luke is very friendly, and we felt comfortable with him house sitting our home as well.

She stayed at the house with our dogs for 3 weeks and was super easy to coordinate with, was a great communicator and really went above and beyond to make sure everything was well taken care of. It was such a relief knowing that I didn’t have to worry and that everything was in great hands. Would absolutely hire her again!”
“Jojo is fabulous all around. She spoiled both my dog and cat rotten. She sent us pictures and videos every single day and was extremely communicative. My Frenchie Luna even had an allergy outbreak and jojo gave her a bath for us with her medicated shampoo. I was blown away by her kindness, responsiveness and how she really went above and beyond.. even taking out the trash and cleaning up around the house before we returned home. 1000000/10. Will definitely be booking her for now on.”

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 Newton 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 Newton 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Newton 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!

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 .

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.
