About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I’ve had both some combinations of dogs and cats my whole adults life and I can’t imagine my life with them in it. I will love your pets like they are my own. I have two cats at home that require some of my attention but I do have flexibility. Looking to expand my business to allow more weekly routine but as of right now I am available nights and weekends I will give your pets all the love and attention they need. I will pay special attention to any special care or needs that you might have.
About: I have taken care of my friend's dogs off and on for a few years, and I have found I excel at taking care of pets, the way owners take care of their own! I work from home and I'm able to give your dog my full attention. I work from home, so I am able to give give full attention to your pet as needed! My weekends are pretty quiet, But I do sometimes go out to play shows on the weekends. I'm fully capable of taking the dog out, feeding, walking, and other tasks as instructed. I'm unable to wash, groom, or cut nails. I simply don't have experience in those aspects
“Mengshu and Thomas were fabulous to work with! They dropped in on my cats over the weekend. They paid extra attention to them, took a ton of photos, and even brought a toy over one day. I could definitely tell from the photos that the cats had warmed up to them very quickly. I am looking forward to booking with them for our next travels. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Sara was great with our shy cat. She was punctual and reliable for our long stay away from home, and provided regular updates and pictures. We will be booking with Sara again!”
“Lauren and Wynn are amazing! They treat our dog so well and are very flexible scheduling wise. Gnocchi always gets a great walk and loves when they come to play with him! Would highly recommend them as sitters!”
“Connor took excellent care of my two senior dogs! She was very nice and very loving towards my dogs. Great with communication and punctual. Followed all directions. I highly recommend her!”
“Jessica was great with my dog and cat...super kind, reliable, and clearly loves animals. She sent thoughtful updates and made everything easy while I was away. Came home to two very happy, well-cared-for pets. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life! From pet sitting, to owning my own, I take great pride in caring for all animals. I hope to care for yours soon! I just moved to the area and am self-employed. With that flexibility being on Rover is a great way for me to fill up my day and help my fellow pet lovers! My dogs (Archie and Cooper) are my babies, we prioritize their exercise, mental stimulation and lots and lots of love. I will adhere to the rules any owner might have but always come in to your home heart first!
About: I've cared for dogs, cats, fish, and small animals for 20 years. I am also a reptile owner and comfortable caring for some reptiles and amphibians. I am currently available full time for pet care, regarding pet sitting or daily walks. I am also able to care for and feed some reptiles and most amphibians. I much prefer to care for animals in their own home. I feel it is less stress on the animal and more comfortable for them.
“Donna was an amazing sitter who got along with my cat greatly! She is very nice and obviously loves being around pets! Will definitely contact her again if I need a sitter!”
“Jill was amazing! She followed the instructions for our cats perfectly and it gave us a lot of peace of mind while away. Sent plenty of pictures - would definitely book again!”
“Allison was fantastic with our puppy Leo. She has such a sweet and kind demeanor and also understands how to handle the demands of puppies . Including when to re-direct, when to play, when to love on them and when to calm things down. Definitely will be having Allison come take care of Leo again!”
“Suzanne did a drop in visit with our two cats while we were away for the weekend. She was great to work with and I would absolutely rebook with her! I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs :)”
“Brendan was great with our 2 dogs. The dogs seemed to like him and the pictures proved that. He took his time with each dog individually which was nice for the dogs to get their own attention. Thank you for respecting our home and taking care of our fur-babies! We are definitely keeping Brendan in our favorites.”

Donna was amazing! She communicated excellently, was reliable, and gave exceptional care to our sweet senior tripod dog who is wheelchair bound. It was clear that Donna truly cared about his comfort and wellbeing. We are so grateful and would highly recommend her!
I was a nervous dog momma leaving my persnickety English Bulldog for a short work trip but Wynn and Lauren put me at ease. They took the time to get to know him and build trust. Highly recommend… especially if you have an anxious pup who takes time to warm up to new friends.
Emily is the BEST! This is the second time she has watched our kitties while we were away for over a week. They love her and it is so nice to be able to vacation and have complete peace of mind that they are in great hands. We appreciate the daily updates, photos, and Emily’s care for our cats.🙂
Mengshu and Thomas were fabulous to work with! They dropped in on my cats over the weekend. They paid extra attention to them, took a ton of photos, and even brought a toy over one day. I could definitely tell from the photos that the cats had warmed up to them very quickly. I am looking forward to booking with them for our next travels. 10/10 would recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Newtown on Rover is $13.32 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,459 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Newtown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Newtown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Newtown. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
