“I hated having to leave my new puppy at home while at work and it gave me great peace of mind to know that he wouldn't be alone the whole time. She did a fantastic job and sent me pictures from each visit to reassure me. Boo was happy and playful when I returned home so I know she did an awesome job with him. Will definitely rebook again!”
“Lindsay took great care of our dog while we were out of town. She was prompt, she had great communication, and our dog loved her. 10/10 would book with her 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!”
“This was our first time using Rover and meeting/hiring Susan. We feel like we have known Susan longer than two individual times. Took great care of our two dogs, followed all instructions, gave us a report card for every visit, and included many photos each day. So happy we found a gem like Susan. Thank you so very much!”
“Morgan was awesome. She is very kind. She took photos. She was very easy to communicate with. She was on time. I would definitely recommend her and use her again. I have two one year old cats.”
“Debra was attentive, leaving great notes and photos each day so that I would be updated and kept in the loop. I was also lucky that she was able to work in my last minute job and offered to come by for a very last minute meet and greet which was so very appreciated! I would highly recommend!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Andy was amazing! She was friendly, professional and caring towards my two cats. I was so glad to see my cats warm up to her and I loved the updates/photos Andy provided. Thanks, Andy, for putting my mind at ease while I was gone!”
“Hayleigh was absolutely incredible during her check‑in visits with Luna and Charles over the past couple weeks. Her communication was flawless—transparent, detailed, and consistent every single day. I always knew exactly how the pups were doing, and it was clear they adored her. She cared for them as if they were her own, and that peace of mind is priceless. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
“I’m so appreciative to have Drew for my pup! I added on extra time to his drop in with my dog Izzy since I’d been gone from my apartment a lot, and he sent me adorable pictures of them snuggling on the couch together. He also left on a TV For Dogs stream on my TV to keep her company when he left, which was so sweet. Thank you so much, Drew!”
“Emma was able to look after my cats on short notice after my usual pet sitter had to cancel. And my cats loved her! I could tell by each of her pictures that they were happy and relaxed which made me happy and relaxed. She kept in touch and I was confident everything would be great when I got home. I highly recommend Emma!”
“Sara was super responsive to the booking request and was able to meet our cats beforehand. Sara was very responsible meeting our cats needs while we were out, she was on time, and provided pictures and updates! The cats loved her!”
“Our dog Holly just loved seeing Margo … she was reliable and so kind to play with her and make sure she got to go potty mid day while my wife and I worked. We will definitely be calling on Margo again to help us out. You won’t find a nicer person to work with. Thanks Margo you deserve this 5 star review.”
“Megan stopped in to visit my cats during the holidays. We’ve used Megan as a sitter/dog walker for the past year and she has been fantastic. She’s very communicative and reliable whenever we need her! So lucky to have found her!”
“Victoria is amazing! I can tell she really cares for our boys and they both love getting to see her. She also sends the best pictures and updates so I can see just how happy and comfortable they are with her!”
“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.”
“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 taken care of both cats and dogs. I love taking dogs on walks, long or short, and multiple times a day if needed. Or even if they just need to be let out in the yard and have a little play time! I have grown up around cats and understand all the little quirks that come with them. I would be perfect if they need a hangout buddy for a little bit! I always know how to find the pets at any function I’m at! I am able to do walks or drop in visits on the weekends and Fridays after 5pm! I know my availability says I am unable to during the week, however, if you are in a crunch and need some help after 5pm Monday-Thursday just reach out and I’ll see if I can be there! I have always cared for animals my whole life. I understand that a pet isn’t just a pet, they are family. You can trust me to look after and care for them as if they were my own fur baby.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Newtown is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newtown
Emily is absolutely your girl if you need a friend for your cat(s) !!! She’s super diligent about all the quirky details you could possibly have, and will absolutely love on your kitties. She even figured out how to swap the bag in my Litter Genie based on my stupid text instructions from the north woods, so she’s way on top of it !!!! And I received the cuuuutest pictures of Tito being played with and scratched on the head, which means my shy freak of a guy could tell she’s a good one 😹😻 Next time I’m away she’ll be my first choice !!
She was absolutely amazing with our cats, Rory and Regal! She kept us updated, treated them like her own, and even cleaned Rory's little eye boogers, which was so thoughtful. It was clear she genuinely cared about them. We came home to two happy, well loved cats. We'd definitely book with her again. Highly recommend! ❤️
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Newtown on Rover is $13.32 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,338 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:
- 96% 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.
