“All instructions were followed. I tried not to ask to much, just wanted them let out and food put down. When we spoke, Zehavit seemed very caring and conscientious, she was all of the above. I will use her on a regular basis.”

About: I grew up with dogs all my life and currently have two of my own. For over 10 years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, from walking and feeding to bathing and playtime. Neighbors, friends, and family have always trusted me to look after their pets because I pride myself on being a responsible, loving, and attentive pet owner. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m currently in grad school to become a physical therapist, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m free on weekends, as well as Wednesdays. I am also available Thursdays after 2 PM. This allows me plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love having company, so your pup will never feel lonely. My dogs have a play pen that I can seperate them in if needed and always prioritize safety, comfort, and care. My goal is to make sure your pet feels right at home and well-loved while you’re away.

About: I've cared for dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 10. I offer walks and drop-in visits in your home — no boarding. I follow your routine exactly, give lots of love, and send plenty of photo updates. Reliable, calm, and gentle with seniors and puppies. Your pets will be happy to see me! Pet care is a big part of my weekly routine! I'm available for walks and drop-ins in your home across NE Philly to Bucks County. I keep a flexible schedule for weekday and weekend bookings and stick to your pet's normal routine. I care for pets in your home only — I do not board pets in my home. In your home I follow your instructions exactly, keep doors and gates secure, provide fresh water, safe play, and a calm presence. I leave your home tidy and send photo updates every visit.

“Seana was so attentive to our shepherd while we were away on vacation. She made sure she was well taken care of and kept us at ease by sending many pictures of our girl looking happy and playing. We will certainly book Seana again in the future! She even cleaned our floors when it got dirty from our dog going in and out after it rained! She’s the best!”

About: I have experience caring for all kinds of animals! Whether your fur baby has a medical condition or needs medication, I’ll make sure they receive the same love, attention, and care I give my own pets. While they’re with me, your pets will be treated like family! I currently work full time, but I have a fairly flexible schedule. I’m also a proud dad to two fur babies and a newborn son! ❤️ As a fellow pet parent, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets. No matter how busy life gets, I always make sure every fur baby in my care receives the same love, attention, and care that I would want for my own. Your pets will be treated like family! I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special care instructions. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with medical needs and administering medications as directed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep them comfortable in their familiar environment while providing plenty of love, attention, and companionship. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

About: Just moved into a bigger space for more dogs to roam and lounge around. If you're looking for a place where your pup can stay while you're working, we can definitely do daycare! If you're looking to go on vacation and rather have your pup stay with a family of dog lovers instead of a kennel in a cage, my kids would certainly love to play with your pup in our backyard! I'm also walking distance to a park where Rush and I go to run, your pup can join us too! I can also head your way to walk and feed your pup too. My main goal is for your pup to feel as comfy as possible while you're away, whether its for 15 minutes, a couple hours, days, or even weeks! I work from home, my wife and I work with pets together to make sure they're always around with someone in our home. We also make sure to follow each dogs daily routine and diet. I have a fenced yard that was installed in my home 2 years ago. We are always monitoring the dogs outside with them, each dog is different in their behavior so we try to play with them or give them their space. When inside our home we only let them roam in our kitchen and living room space, unless they need to be crated.

About: What can I say... dogs make the world a better place! Your fur baby deserves lots of love and attention. I've loved dogs since I was a kid. As an adult I've had the pleasure of bonding with and caring for a number of breeds varying in ages and sizes over the years: from shy teacups to oversized mushes. Since 2023, I decided to make more time for sharing my love and playfulness through dog sitting, dog walking, play dates and even doing dog portraits! With my flexible schedule as a freelancer, I enjoy making time for play dates, snuggles and most meal times with your sweet fur baby throughout the week. If you're interested in having me dog sit overnight, we can consider it after 3 completed regular visits to your home (over a minimum of 2 calendar days) to make sure everyone is comfortable beforehand. Do you prefer that your sweetie is crated, gated or free roaming in your home after they're fed & walked? Do you and your furry best friend have a specific routine? Let me know! Routine and consistency can help develop trust and reduce anxiety which are so important in doggy care.

About: I had a multiple dogs growing up, one who is 11 years old now, and also am a Fur Mom to a golden retriever. I am an animal lover and just want to be helpful since I use rover myself for sitters, and i figured I’d be just as helpful as the many sitters on here have been for me!! I work full time but that is just 3 days a week, so any other day I am available most of the day to accommodate your fur babies! My schedule does change every week though I live in an apartment complex but have access to a dog park within the complex and will be able to take your pups to local dog parks as well

“From the first visit to the last set of photos, Tina has been absolutely amazing. This was the first time I’d been away from the cats for more than two days, so I was a bit worried. The first pictures Tina sent were her and the cats playing/nuzzling. I was able to rest easy, knowing that I’d get my daily pictures, and that the kitties were happy. I will be using her again next time I go on vacation.”

About: I grew up with two dogs (a German Shepherd and a Bichon Frise). They were the sweetest boys to ever exist!! I do not currently have any pets because I don’t think I could handle the loss. But, I have been pet sitting other people’s pets for over 5 years outside of rover. I have pet sit both cats and dogs :) I’m currently working full time remotely. So I have lots of time to spend with your pets! I do travel for work so there may be some weeks that I will not be available but that will all be noted on my calendar. I have a fenced in yard. Pets in our house are allowed inside and on furniture. If you request it I will crate your dog. I have a little sister who is 10 and she loves animals just as much as I do and respects their space but I do require all pets I take care of to be kid friendly.

“Melanie was fantastic! She arrived right on time, took great care of our dogs, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We have a large puppy who's still a bit skittish around new people, but Melanie was patient, calm, and took the time to earn his trust. She handled both dogs wonderfully, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”

About: I've been taking care of my own pets for the past 6 years, and through thick and thin I have stuck by their side and given them all the care in the world that they need. I fully understand how important our fluffy friends are to us, and to me, mine are like my family. I always go above and beyond to make sure every animal I interact with feels safe with me and secure in their environment! Every day at 5:30PM I make sure to give my cat, Tibs, her blood pressure medication. I practice being very on-schedule with taking care of her and making sure she gets her breakfast, medications and dinner on-time and the best amount for her health. At times, she over-eats so I am careful to feed her in intervals that will work best for her stomach. I am very good at keeping an eye on her health and our schedules together. I always make sure to make sure every furry friend I interact with feels safe and secure in their environment, as I understand myself how important it is to have your home be a safe space.

About: I love animals and have had pets all my life. My experience in caring for animals includes most recently dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I currently have a dog and care for my son’s cat when he is out of town. My relationship with animals has always been amazing because I give them loving attention and ensure their needs are met. It will be my pleasure to have an opportunity to love and care for your pets I offer drop-in care, which means I can pop by your house during the day to check on your pets, handle feedings, and get them some exercise. While I'm not available for full-time house sitting or overnight stays, I build my drop-in visits completely around your pet's needs. I’m a big outdoors person, so when I come by, I love getting them outside for some fresh air, a good neighborhood walk, or a fun play session to burn off some energy. However, I’m just as happy spending quiet time indoors—ensuring your cats or other pets are fed, comfortable, attended to, and feeling secure while you're out." During my visits, I’ll happily spend time outside playing fetch in the backyard or taking your pets for a walk at a nearby park. When inside, I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime, and cuddles (if they’re into that!). Most importantly, I stick strictly to your preferred feeding times and house rules, ensuring your pet is happy, fed, and safe before I head out.

“Hailey did such a great job with my two cats! She’s so sweet and attentive. She even washed the cat’s bowls for me! (I feed them canned food and told her I could just wash them when I got back from my weekend trip). She left my place better than what it was when I left. I will definitely re-book with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

Elizabeth was wonderful! She was able to help us out last minute when an unexpected home renovation led to a weekend away, and we really appreciated her flexibility! She took great care of all four of our pets, was fantastic with communication, and kept us updated throughout the weekend. Our pets seemed to really like her, which made us feel even better about leaving them in her care. We would absolutely recommend Elizabeth and would happily book her again!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Newtown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Newtown is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 8,938 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Newtown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Newtown 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!

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.

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Newtown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newtown. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
