“Beth was amazing! Showed up with super short notice and was extremely professional. She was kind and Moses loved her immediately, you could tell that she loves dogs and they love her back. She even walked him twice in a 3 hour dog sit. Highly recommend!”
“Suzanne was great with my new puppy. She arrived on time and was here from 6 am - 4:00. She sent text and photos of my 13 week old puppy. She walked and played all day”
“Rowan was absolutely fantastic for house sitting my 2 dogs and 4 cat mad house. Felt 100% secure in the care she provided. Would definitely recommend to anyone in need of care.”
“Andrea did a great job watching my dog! Even through the snow storm, she kept my pup well cared for and entertained. She was also very communicative through the stay which I appreciate!”
“Stephanie was great looking over my dog Grady. She came by the house prior to house sitting to talk through everything to ensure my pup has a great time while I’m gone ? I will definitely contact Stephanie again for house sitting/boarding.”
“Olivia was awesome with our pups! We just relocated and needed to find a new dog sitter quickly for a business trip and we’re glad we found her. She took great care of our boys, took them for walks and gave them all the attention they needed. Will definitely be booking with her again! :)”
“Naika was incredible. Showed up with very short notice, had a great attitude and was so good with our dog. She is kind, professional, competent, and showed up on time. We will definitely hire her again and recommend her highly as well!”
“Gabby is simply the best. She was amazing and flexible with the needs of our senior girl, Jersie. She sent picture updates throughout our trip and kept us in the loop of what was going on. We are so thankful for her compassion and are looking forward to booking with her again ❤️”
“Maggie is an incredible sitter! She has taken care of my dog, Nattie, on two separate trips of mine now and it is the most confident I’ve ever been that Nattie is safe, happy, and well looked after while I’m gone. Maggie sends me an update with pictures each day, along with any questions or concerns, and otherwise I can trust I don’t need to worry and enjoy my trip without stressing that something could be wrong. I love getting the pictures and hearing about how everything is going, and knowing Nattie is being given all the treats and walks and attention she needs and deserves. I would recommend Maggie to any dog mom looking for someone reliable and trustworthy!”
About: I have had 7 cats over the past 15 years, including one that was blind. I currently have 3 cats that are all spoiled rotten. I have a lot of flexibility on the weekends and could check in multiple times during the day. Weekday evenings are best, normally 5pm and after. Since I have 3 cats, I would not be able to watch other pets in my home. I will happily travel to your home and spend time with your pet.
“Crystal is amazing! She stayed at my house and watched my labradoodle for three nights while I was out of town. She is very responsible and left my fur baby and my home in perfect condition!”
“Lydia was great with our rescue pitbull! Our dog loved hanging out with her and Lydia was great about keeping us updated and helping us feel at ease during our first time using a Rover sitter. I would highly recommend her :)”
“Erica was great with our pets! We have a lot and they’re easily overwhelming, but she handled them with such care and professionalism that I wasn’t worried for a moment. Great response time, good communication, and easy to get along with. 10/10 recommend!”
“I can’t recommend Alex enough. She is a wonderful sitter. I had an emergency where my flight was bumped to the next day - Alex was there for our cat and dog. I’ve rebooked her several times and will continue to do so. She takes care of our home, is very communicative and our pets love her.”
“Megan and Lee are awesome! It was so lovely getting to do a meet and greet before we left on our trip. They took wonderful care of the pets and I really enjoyed getting photos of the happy animals while we were away.”
“Kayla was great. From the first meet and greet, she showed she was knowledgeable and experienced. We knew our dog would be in good hands. While away, she sent daily pictures and updates. Would highly recommend”
Over 3 pet parents in Newtown have booked house sitting
Newtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was the 2nd time Christine has taken care of our pets and home. Everything was in place, dogs and cats happy and looking good. Christine is an excellent communicator and very prompt. We already have her booked for a 3rd time and once we finalize our plans, we will book her for a 4th time.
Nina was extremely flexible with our last trip. We had an emergency come up with our small business and had to delay our trip somewhat last minute a couple of days. She was understanding and even offered flexibility on the backend if we wanted to extend our trip (wish we had the days off to take her up on that). The dogs have always done well with her and we will continue to use her whenever she is available that we need.
Sara House Sat while my husband and I were out of town for the weekend and I would happily reach out to her again in the future! She took excellent care of our dog Lily and our cat Sam. She provided plenty of updates with pictures and left our home in great condition. Sara is reliable, trustworthy, and provides the best love/care for animals. Thank you!! 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
Jessica was an awesome in-home sitter for my 2 dogs. She sent updates every day with photos, and was available for questions/requests during her stay. She left my house clean and in the way I left it. My time away was stress-free, because I knew my babies were in good hands. My dogs were very happy and not stressed at all. I would highly recommend Jess (as long as it doesn’t interfere with when I need her!😉)
I cannot say enough good things about Nicole! I have a reactive dog who immediately warmed up to her - which isn't his usual style, so I was impressed right off the bat - and she handled him brilliantly. Reportedly he acted like an angel and didn't act a fool the entire week she housesat for me, which might be a new record for him. I came home to a house that was 100% cleaner than I left it, I received daily photos of all four of my animals, and came home to a pristine house. MOST IMPOTANTLY, Nicole was incredibly patient and flexible with me as my house sprung a foundation leak 2 days before I left for my trip. I had no running water the entire time she was here and not only did she completely roll with the punches, she had al 15 gallons of water I'd provided refilled for me when I got home. Nicole really went above and beyond and I am incredibly grateful that I trusted my zoo with her and nobody else. :)
Courtney was incredible with our pup! She was so attentive and caring, making sure he was comfortable and all his needs (and requests) were met at all times. She sent us plenty of updates throughout our trip and left our house spotless. It was evident she cares greatly about the pets she watches! Cannot recommend Courtney enough!!
