“Mateo was geear and professional to work with. He was able to come by multiple times a day to check up on Domino and provide him the care he needed! Would recommend to friends and family!”
“Taryn was really sweet throughout the whole process and our two dogs seemed to respond well to her. Her photos of the dogs during her stay were endearing and showed that she formed a great relationship with them.”
“Brooke was so great with our dog Millie! Millie is shy but she warmed up to Brooke quickly. Brooke also sent me updates that were necessary while we were away. So glad we booked Brooke will be using her again in the future!”
“Joalice is a reliable and compassionate pet sitter! I am always at ease knowing she is looking after my pets and home while I am out of town. I will continue to use her as long as I can!”
“Joanna always does an amazing job! She is very good at keeping you updated and following all pet care directions. Somehow I also always come back to my home cleaner than I left it too. My cats genuinely seem comfy with her and I would 100% recommend her.”
About: I currently have two spoiled well taken care of girls. They keep me going, I will give your dog the attention that I give my own. I am open to any schedule. I am able to adjust to meet your pet's and your needs. My schedule is very flexible as an Ideal caregiver should be. I can offer daily check in on your pet at your home. I also have the space for outdoor pets at my home. I also have space for indoor pets and they can have their own room if needed.
About: I have always had pets- dogs, cats, a ferret at one time and even my son's snake for a while. Whenever I am in the country, I take care of people's furry friends when they are not able to. My ChocoDoggo is my buddy and so I understand how important it is for her to be well-cared for if I am not able to. I have a fenced yard and friendly dogs and cats. I can take care of your babies at my home or at yours. One of my dogs swims in the small lake behind my home.
“Very happy with how Latoya cared for my babies. I have two dogs and a cat and they we're all loved and cared for while we we're away. Trusting your babies and your home to someone when you're away can always be tough. It is nice to know that I could trust Latoya. Will definitely look for her help again!”
“I highly recommend Eric! As a pet sitter myself, it’s tough leaving your beloved animals with someone else, but Eric took wonderful care of our two rescue dogs and one rescue cat. He provided daily updates with pictures … and we came back to happy animals and a clean home😊 Do yourself a favor and book him!”
“Dan was fantastic with our two pups! They were very happy and well taken care of when we got home and the house was spotless. Dan sent pictures and updates which was very appreciated. We will absolutely use Dan again!”
“Amanda was great with our girl! Our pup is a bit vocal and has a few quirks; like needing doors closed, a sound machine on when we’re out, and a special diet…but Amanda handled everything. Communication was easy and consistent, and we came home to a happy pup. It’s clear she really cared, and we’ve already booked her again.”
“Ashley was AMAZING with our 2 frenchies. Our trip was last minute so we didn’t have time for a meet and greet. I was nervous our older frenchie might be a bit of a handful at first. Upon her arrival I received pictures of them all snuggled up with her on the couch. She went above and beyond in all ways. Updates and pictures were provided during her in-home stay and she even cleaned up my kitchen (we left in a hurry). So not necessary, but what a treat when we returned. Such a pleasure to have Ashley caring for our fur babies. I’m definitely going to be a repeat customer of hers. A-1”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of hands-on experience, patience, and genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable working with dogs and cats of all ages, and I have specific experience with both puppy training and senior pet care. I am Currently Working from home so I am readily available! I also Have pets of my own so I am used to taking care of my animals and my adopted babies( your pets) on a routine schedule! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their pet’s routine consistent. I follow all instructions exactly—feeding, medication, walking routes, crate or bedtime routines, and any training the pet is currently working on. I maintain a calm, respectful presence in the home, keep the environment tidy, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and confident that their pets are safe and happy.
About: I’ve taken care of pets and animals for an incredibly long time. Since I was a child, even. I grew up with dogs and cats. All of my friends ask me to petsit for them because I am so good at it. I’m perceptive, can multitask very well, and caring. I’m also very good at following directions to a T. I love animals, and naturally, my own heart yearns to protect animals to keep them safe and happy. Sitting does this for me, and I am grateful for this. I can take care of all types of dog breeds and cat breeds. Including fish, reptiles, and rodents. Even the “scarier ones”, like spiders or snakes. I’m currently working by picking up random jobs when I am available. And so, I can truly choose whenever to work. My availability is incredibly flexible. My availability is literally all the time. Depending on the house I’m sitting at, I’ll improvise. But, if I do notice that something needs to be done or brought in order to keep those pets safe and sound, I will absolutely go grab it or have it delivered so I can find a solution.
About: I have 3 dogs of my own that I take care of on a daily basis ranging from 2 months old to 2 years old. I have an American Eskimo, Border Collie/Shih Tzu Mix, and Miniature Goldendoodle. I love playing with my dogs as well as taking them on walks throughout the neighborhood! I currently work in office and am available to drop by twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. I am typically at home enjoying my evening if I’m not at work! I can take your dog(s) on walks and/or dog parks. I can visit often to let them out to play in the backyard and to feed him/her.

The average cost of House Sitting in Newton Ridge is $92 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $49 and $221 per night.

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 Ridge 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 Ridge 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 Newton Ridge 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.

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.
