“Zee was amazing! Our cat gets really bad separation anxiety and Zee always went above and beyond. If you get nervous about leaving your pets, Zee is the sitter for you! She left us detailed messages with pictures and videos each visit. We will definitely be reaching out to Zee next time we have to leave our cat.”
About: Aren’t animals the greatest gift? I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10. Now a professional dog-walker and pet sitter, I’m seeking to expand my business through Rover. I love and highly vibe with all animals. I’m a yoga instructor looking to further supplement my income caring for man’s best friend via Rover. I’m experienced with puppies and also elderly animals. I have 2 cats of my own. I’d love nothing more than to meet your fur-baby, and become his/her friend. I’m available for dog walks, visits, and also overnights in your living space. It’s nice to know your pet is in their own space with a trusted individual while you are gone. I’m the person to give you that peace of mind. Help me help you love your pet. I am only available in certain areas at certain times for walks and visits, due to my teaching schedule. Please feel free to reach out to ask any questions. I look forward to talking with you and meeting your fur family.
“My dogs loved Emily from the first meeting. She took good care of them while I was gone, I came home to very happy dogs. She also made sure to update be with their status, which I appreciated.”
About: I've grown up with dogs when I lived with my mom. When I moved out, my fiancé and I adopted our very own dog, JD. A year later, we rescued our Coco, and have had so much fun watching our pups grow together and giving them the best life as possible. My brother and sister each have their own dogs who I love just as much as my own and will always care for them and play for them. I have neighbors and family friends who have relied on me to either house sit while they are away or visit a few times a day to walk and feed their pets. My favorite thing is puppy snuggles! I would love to care for your animals when you are away and make their time away from you the best it can be for them. :) I am an elementary teacher. During the summers, I spend my time tutoring or working a summer school program which typically ends by 1pm at the latest. I am an early bird as well, so I am able to get in a quick walk with your pet prior to my work day starting, and am free in the afternoons during the summer to play with your dog! As a pet caretaker, I will do whatever is needed so as to not break your dogs structure and routines. I am flexible and only want what is best for your dog and family!
About: I have taken care of dogs, including my family dog and family friends. I can go on walks, feed, and take dogs out often throughout the day when needed. I have done doggy day out at college, where I have taken care of a dog from an Delaware Humane Animal Partners. Finally, I have experience fostering a young cat for 1 year. I am working part time, mostly at nights. I will be able to spend a decent amount of time caring for your pet and keeping them busy! I have a fenced in yard at my house, and no pets at home. If I am at a client's house, I will respect their rules and walk or take the dog out accordingly.
“Jimi was diligent in caring for our 4 cats. He has a real affinity for animals, and is a hard worker. He brought in our packages as well, and didn’t let snow or ice stop him.”
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: Hi ! I love all animals! Good with all types of pets and familiar with many different types. I have a very friendly Australian Sheppard now. I’m young and very active so i can take your dogs on many walks through out the day. I used to volunteer at a local shelter where i fed, walked and bathed animals. I’m very good at calming dogs and making them feel safe. My hours are very flexible. Love dogs cats & all other animals. I’m very excited to meet you & your pet ! I’m currently working part time so i have plenty of time to care for your fur baby. I can come multiple times a day or when needed. Making sure your fur baby is safe is a top priority for me. I want your animal to feel comfortable and enjoy our time together!
About: I’ve had experience with dogs my entire life. Growing up, my family owned two Labrador Retrievers, a Boxer, and a Mastiff, giving me hands on experience with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and care needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve provided overnight care for dogs ranging from miniature Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I am passionate about animal safety, comfort, and well being, and I understand the importance of maintaining routines to help pets feel secure while their owners are away. While I do not have formal training, I have experience caring for dogs at all life stages, including senior dogs. I am comfortable administering medications as directed and paying close attention to any changes in behavior, appetite, or health. My goal is always to provide loving, reliable care and give pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to provide dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week. I am available during mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Because I am not currently working another job, I can spend significant time with your pets and accommodate a variety of schedules. For house sitting assignments, I can typically spend several hours with your pets throughout the day and will ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and care. Should my availability change in the future, I will promptly update my Rover calendar so pet owners always have accurate scheduling information. At this time, I do not offer boarding in my home because I have a senior dog of my own. However, I am available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I am committed to following each pet owner’s instructions and routines as closely as possible. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to learn their schedule, feeding routine, exercise requirements, and any special care instructions. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress free environment while their owners are away. Having cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, including senior dogs and dogs requiring medication, I am comfortable handling unexpected situations calmly and responsibly. If an emergency were to arise, I would prioritize the pet’s safety, follow the owner’s emergency instructions, and maintain clear communication throughout the process. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide dependable, attentive care that gives owners peace of mind.
About: Hi! My name is Vanessa, I am a graduate of Kutztown University with a degree in Special Education and two minors in social work and case management. I am seeking positions as a dog sitter as an additional gig. I have prior experience working with dogs and kittens/cats at the EASEL shelter so I am comfortable around animals. I personally do not own a dog, but I love the happiness and companionship a dog and cat gives. Being a sitter allows me to gain the proper experience I need to be able to own a dog in the future! I have experience in dog walking, drop-ins, and house-sitting (for both pets and the elderly). I have my own method of transportation, and a flexible schedule. I hope to meet you shortly!
About: Hi! I’m Sydnee, I’m 27, in my last semester of nursing school, and animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Caring for them isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. I’ve spent years caring for all kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to farm animals, and I’ve even helped care for injured and orphaned wildlife. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I understand just how much our pets mean to us—they’re family. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or just someone patient and attentive to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I know leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I treat every animal as if they were my own and keep owners updated with plenty of photos and messages for peace of mind. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, large breeds, multiple-pet households, administering basic medications, and following detailed care instructions. Every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to learn what makes them happiest. Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile! I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry (or feathered, or hoofed!) family members. I can’t wait to spoil them while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I work part time at a casino, mostly weekend nights, so I’m pretty flexible! Don’t be afraid to ask for any dates/times. I will put in my calendar when i am completely not available I have 1 beautiful pit bull, 4 chickens, 1 goat and 1 pig!I take so much pride with health and happiness for my animals and will make sure to do so for you!
“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 have been taken care of animals since I was 12. I would pet sit for friends and family. I also have worked with a number of rescues and also in local shelters. I also was a vet technician. I love animals and love being able to give my clients the peace of mind that their pets are well loved when they are away or working. I have a fenced in yard with planty of room to play. I make sure each pet in my care feels loved and welcomed into my home like they are my own pets.

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.

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.

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 , 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.

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.
