“Carol was fantastic. She came by the day before to meet our dog and was very professional. We had full confidence knowing our dog would be taken care of while we weee away”
“Jeffrey took great care with our three cats and communicated with us every day, sending us notes and photos. He is a pleasure to work with and gave us such peace of mind knowing all was well at home. This is our second time working with Jeffrey and he will continue to be our first choice whenever he is available.”
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors dogs for a few years now and still occasionally take care of family dogs! I love spending time with pets! I work part time only, so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friend! I can be very flexible and attentive to your animal’s needs! I have a gated backyard and an open front yard. I take animals on long walks and to dog parks as well! I have treats for them and can use whatever you provide whether it be food, bedding, or toys!
“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”
“Kerri and Harry were so good with our two cats Rambo and Chunk. A couple of days before they came to take care of them, one of them got an eye infection and they were able to give him the medication that he needed. We came back from our 5 day trip to a healthy cat and clean house!”
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
“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: 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.
“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!”
About: I am an experienced sitter in bucks county who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any opportunities to cuddle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong lol All about balance, long walks, trips to the park… but just as happy curling up on the couch for some quality R&R time. Whatever mix your pup loves, I’m ready to match it Your pup’s safety is priority one! Our home has a fully fenced yard, so there’s plenty of secure space to run and play. And we’ve got a two-goldendoodle welcoming committee — Piper and Paisley — who make sure every new pup feels like part of the pack from day one, not just ‘watched.’ If I’m caring for your pup in your home instead, that same standard applies: I’ll treat your space with the same care and attention as my own, making sure your pup sticks to their normal routine and feels safe and comfortable the whole time.
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: 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!
“Kristi watched my two cats this week and was amazing!! I would definitely hire her in the future. She was quick to respond to messages and always provided great photos and recaps of her visits with my babies! I felt so much less stress this vacation knowing I could trust her to take care my cats. Thank you Kristi!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve worked at a doggy daycare, cared for pets of all sizes and temperaments, and gained hands-on experience handling group play, feeding routines, and behavior monitoring. As an Animal Science major, I have a strong background in animal health and behavior, and I’ve also worked at a veterinary hospital, where I learned about medical care, safe handling, and recognizing signs of stress or illness. I treat every pet like my own! Pet care easily fits into my daily routine since I only have one class a day for about an hour. That means I have plenty of free time throughout the day to give your pets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or cuddle time, I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s schedule! When caring for pets, their safety and comfort always come first. I take time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs before visits or walks. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I make sure the environment is calm, secure, and full of love. I follow all owner instructions carefully such as feeding schedules, medications, and leash preferences and always double-check doors, gates, and harnesses. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for, just like they would at home with you.
About: Hi there! I’m Sophie, I am a firm believer in using walks and playtime to bond with a dog and get them more comfortable with me. (That’s how I won over the puppy that replaced me when I went to college). I have a similar philosophy towards cats, but with a whole lot more playtime and a whole lot less outside time 😆. I am a recent college graduate and I’m working on my applications to get a job in my field, so I have time to spend all day with your pet. Just let me know what you need! Whatever works for you, I can do! I have no set schedule so I can come by any time. I do prefer to make my visits at least an hour long so they have the chance to get used to me. I will work with what’s available to me. If I’m visiting your home to keep them company I will play with their favorite toys and find their favorite spots to hang out in. I’ll play with their dogs outside if you have a fence, and I try to let them guide where we go on walks.
“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!”

Pet 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Newtown is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 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 October 2026, there are 9,280 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newtown. On Rover:
- 86% 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.
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 .
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. 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.
