“Mellony was a perfect cat sitter for our cats while we were away for a week. She took great care of our two cats by feeding them, cleaning up after them, and making sure everything was in order. We originally book one 30-minute visit per day, but Mellony generously offered to come twice a day for 15 minutes each visit so that both cats would get extra attention-without changing any additional fee. We truly appreciate her kindness and dedication. It gave us peace of mind knowing our cats were in such caring and reliable hands. I highly recommend Mellony and would definitely give her 5stat rating for her outstanding service! Thank you Mellony!!”


“Seana did a great job, followed directions wonderfully, and made us feel very comfortable with updates and pictures! We highly recommend her! This was our first time using anyone other than a kennel or relatives, and we would not hesitate in the future.”

“I definitely recommend Kimberly and Paul for your pup! They took such good care of our boxer while we went away. They were knowledgeable, on time and went above and beyond. I felt so comfortable knowing Sadie was in good hands. They communicated with us and documented all of Sadie's moves. I would absolutely use them again next time!”

“Joshua is the best! This is the second time he has watched our dogs while we were away. He took great care of our 2 dogs while we were on vacation for the week. He made sure they were fed and had lots of time to run and play outside. He gave us updates on how our pups were doing along with lots of pictures! It was nice to be able to relax on vacation knowing that our pups were being well cared for. We already booked Joshua again for our next vacation!”

“Can't say enough good things about Harry and Kerri! They are so thoughtful and really understand each pet and their quirkiness and needs. We are so fortunate to have found them to help take care of our dog Harry when needed!”

“Caitlyn is great! Very quick responses, set up a meet and greet within a day, and was on time and sent pictures for each visit. Would for sure book again and probably will for our next vacation! Highly recommended”

“Richard is a good person and is very good with pets. I appreciate the fact that he was available in short notice to assist us in a pinch with our pet. I would recommend Richard for those in his service area.”

About: I've always been a dog lover! I've had a dog for almost 13 years and frequently dog sit for family members! I am also a daycare teacher and love getting to care for them and grow with them! As a daycare teacher, I quickly pick up on their schedules, allergies, different needs of each child, etc., which would easily translate into helping your furry friend. I hope to get to know you and your furry family members! I am currently working full time as a daycare teacher but have most nights and weekends free. I would be available after about 5:15pm on week nights and throughout the day on weekends! I do have a family dog and frequently dog sit family dogs. Taking them for walks (or simply letting them out in the backyard), playing and interacting with them, and feeding them all on their schedule! And of course, loving them unconditionally

“Sarah provided excellent care taking care of our pet while on vacation. Our area was flooded while we were gone, and Sarah found a way to still make it here to feed Barney. Very responsible and gave us daily updates with pics. Would highly recommend her to care for your pet.”

About: Hi! I’m Aster, I’m a college student, and I’ve loved pets since I was still learning how to walk! Since I was little I’ve lived with and cared for five different dogs, one of which I personally trained since he was a puppy, and two rescues that needed some more TLC than your average pet. I’ve walked and pet-sat for various friends and neighbors since I was five—for dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs and birds! I’ve volunteered at farms and worked with a variety of farm animals as well. I currently have two dogs and a cat. I’m well accustomed to walking, feeding, grooming, bath time, giving medication via pills or gels, and lots and lots of love! I’ve cared for senior and puppy dogs, and dogs from 10 up to 90 pounds so I’m ready for any size of furball. My husky mix Sky has been with me for almost 11 years now, meaning I’m also used to handling dogs with higher energy or mischievous personalities (if you’re a fellow husky owner I know you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about haha). I’ve cared for a rescue cat of my own since she was about a year old, and also have some experience pet sitting for others’ cats. Any pet I take care of I always treat like they’re my own furbaby! Pets are family to me, not just a job, and I make an effort to truly connect with any pet I’m caring for—even if it’s just for one walk! I promise lots of pets and attention (if that’s something your pet likes) and I’m always up for taking as many photos as you want of your pet so you can see how they’re doing! I’m currently home from college for the summer and have extremely open and flexible hours for pet care. I’ll be available until the end of August when I leave for my next semester. I am very flexible to following whatever plan your pet needs. If you give me a schedule I will do my absolute best to follow it down to the punctuation! Whether I’m walking or pet sitting your pet, they’ll have my full attention. I’m always looking out for their health and comfort.

About: I've had dogs and other animals throughout my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I've also spent years helping friends with their pets, from regular dog sitting and walks to grooming and everyday care. I'm patient, gentle, reliable, and very comfortable getting to know an animal's individual personality and routine. I'm also genuinely an outdoors person, so your dog's walk isn't something I'm trying to rush through. I'm happy to let them explore, sniff, stretch their legs, and enjoy being outside. Whether your pet needs a good walk, some playtime and company while you're away, or simply a dependable person to stop in and make sure they're happy and cared for, I'll treat them with the same attention I'd want someone to give my own. My schedule is flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for weekday walks and drop-in visits. I especially enjoy daytime walks and can accommodate both regular weekly schedules and occasional visits when you need an extra hand. I take your pet's safety and routine seriously and will always follow the instructions you provide for walks, feeding, medications, doors and gates, and anything else your pet needs. I'll treat your home with respect and keep you updated during every visit so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I understand that pets are family. I have hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, including daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, and providing plenty of love and attention. I have owned a Golden Retriever, yorkie, two Great Danes, and a pitbull. I am comfortable with everything from energetic exercise sessions to gentle care for smaller breeds.

Whether your dog needs a long walk, a quick potty break, or companionship while you're away, I will treat them with the same care and affection I give my own pets. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. I do work Monday through Friday from 9-1 which is about 15 minutes away from my house, but my hours are very flexible to where I can be home during the day prices just may vary if your dog needs someone home all day! I have a fenced in yard, I have a pool if your dog is a water lover, lots of treats, I used to have many dogs but as of now I only have a yorkie in the house along with my two younger siblings who grew up with dogs and love dogs and my two parents.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 16 years, so being around them has always been a huge part of my life! Friends and family have trusted me for years to care for their pets, and I’m also a dog mom to two fur babies of my own. 🐾 I truly love animals and treat every dog I care for like they’re part of my own family.

About: I have been a pet owner, foster mom, rescue volunteer, and assistance dog trainer for more than two decades. I am a teacher, mom of four grown children, with too much time on my hands and I need some furry friends! I also love to exercise and to walk every day. I am a quiet, introverted person, an avid walker and reader, holder of two masters degrees, and a person of high integrity. I can be trusted in your home. I have experience with very old and very young dogs and cats, with bottle-feeding, administering meds, eye-drops, and even administering subcutaneous fluids. I have puppy trained 7 golden retrievers/standard poodles to be assistance dogs for autistic children which means I took a six-week puppy training course with each pup. I am referred to by my friends and family as the Dog Whisperer. I believe in pet in-loco parentis - pet parent in your absence! I am a preschool teacher (leave my house at 8 and return home by 4.) I like to spend as much of my free time with furry friends. I have been fostering dogs and cats for decades and have a lot of experience sharing my home with other people’s pets. Again, I believe in pet in-loco parentis - pet parent in your absence! I have yet to find an animal I couldn't love. I care for my own pets as if they were my sons and daughters, much to my real children's annoyance!
“Dee took care of our little Rosita for a week while we were out of the country. She is very professional, communicates well and was sensitive to both our individual needs and those of our cat. She sent frequent updates with photos and although our baby is very low maintenance I am confident that Dee is well equipped to take care of cats with greater needs. We recommend Dee and will be using her again.”

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.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
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.
