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: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly love caring for them. I’m also a critical care nurse with five years of experience, so I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable handling medications, special instructions, and unexpected situations with a calm, caring approach. I have a senior dog of my own, so I understand how important patience, compassion, and personalized care are. Since my senior pup can no longer enjoy long walks, I’d love to give your dog the exercise and adventure they deserve! Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ll stick to their routine, provide fresh food and water, administer medications if needed, and send plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your best friend is in loving hands. As a critical care nurse, my schedule varies, but I know it well in advance and keep my availability updated. On my days off, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet, whether that means long walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I pride myself on being reliable, punctual, and communicative, and I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a critical care nurse with five years of experience, I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and comfortable following medication schedules and special care instructions. I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including my own senior dog, so I understand that every pet has unique needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or elderly, I’ll treat them like family by following their routine, keeping them safe on walks, and giving them plenty of love and attention while you’re away.

“Sarafina did a great job caring for my cat, Lawrence! He just needed daily drop-in visits and she sent lots of photos. She stopped by beforehand to make sure she knew exactly what he needed and was friendly and knowledgeable!

“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.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newtown
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!
Laura was incredibly responsive and communicative from the start, and she was willing to take care of my dog on very short notice. My dog was well cared for and happy when I returned. I truly appreciate her flexibility and professionalism. Highly recommend!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Newtown is $22 per visit as of October 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.

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 .
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 , 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 .
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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
