About: I have had dogs in my life since the day I was born. I love taking care of dogs and training them because I believe there are no bad dogs. I have taken care of 3 dogs in my family who all lived long and happy lives. Pet care is perfect for my daily schedule because I am usually free during the earlier hours of the days and can take that time to go for walks or take care of any animal. I treat all the animals with the respect they deserve and give them the space or attention that they want. I always have treats or toys available and can make sure the animal feels comfortable.
“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!!”
“Could not be happier with the care Josh put into his time with our dog, Dale. Dale can be a bit overwhelming to some guests, but Josh handled him perfectly. He sent great pictures during his visits and his communication with us was also great. We look forward to using Josh again in the future. We know Dale can’t wait to see him again!”
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. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and attentive to each pet's unique needs. 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.
“I had to book within 2 days of leaving for a last minute trip. Derek got back to me and accepted the booking right away. He was very communicative throughout the process and took great care of my dog and cat. I definitely plan on booking with Derek in the future.”
“It was such a comfort to have Heather take care of my kitties. She watered my Mom's flowers, took in the mail and provided daily updates and pictures. I'll definitely hire her again!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for both small and medium-sized breeds. I’ve successfully potty trained a puppy and have also cared for a senior dog, giving me experience with pets at different stages of life. As a pre-PA student, I am responsible, attentive, and comfortable following detailed care instructions, medication schedules, and feeding routines. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply extra cuddles, I will treat them like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I currently have a very flexible schedule throughout the summer. I am available all day on weekdays and am also available on weekends with advance notice. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship for your pets. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets, and I am committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get exercise, and I currently do not have any pets in my home, allowing me to provide your pet with my full attention. I also have a dog park nearby and live in a safe, walkable neighborhood that is perfect for daily walks and outdoor time. I will always follow your pet’s routine and any care instructions you provide to ensure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while in my 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.
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
- 95% 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.
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.
