“This is the second time we’ve used Rover and had a very exceptional Dog Sitter. Colby is very thorough and kept me very informed of how my two dogs are doing. She was on time and made me feel assured that the dogs were in good shape.”
“Elizabeth went above & beyond! A family situation caused last minute changes and she was so helpful. She took AMAZING care of both my pups and communication was fantastic. I will definitely reach out when I need a sitter again.”
About: I had a German Shepherd for 10 years who I had spent every day with. Today I like to go for long walks and can keep up with an energetic dog. I also know how to trim claws and take care of basic things like feeding, brushing, and playing with pets. I can stay during overnight stays for long periods or come to just check in! Ive been consistently sitting on Rover since October 2024 I am usually free on weekends. I work a full time job on weekdays 2pm-10:30pm daily but Im still available for overnights during my off time and check ins earlier in the day I can check in to feed, play with, or just give attention to pets. I can also visit to give walks or be there overnight and keep them from being lonely or getting into trouble
“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!!”
“Tracy was wonderful with our cat and dogs. She was loving and patient and seemed to really enjoy spending time with our pets. She was prompt, thorough, and followed my instructions exactly. I'd hire her again anytime!”
“Sabrina is kind, calm, and gentle. We have 2 pets that are shy and skittish around new people, but Sabrina was able to get them to come around and feel comfortable. We'll definitely ask Sabrina to take care of our fur babies again!”
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.
“Carly treats my dog as she would her own. She’s patient toward my shy pup and puts in extra effort to make her comfortable. I feel very assured Layla is in great hands when I’m working and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”
“Hayley was fantastic with our cat Jinx. Not only did she give the usual update, but she gave detailed messages of how he greeted her, where they went and how they played together. She sent pictures of them playing and what he was doing. Hayley has such a warm personality and it shows with how she cares for animals. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Stephanie was excellent! I had to book last minute because my other Rover Sitter cancelled, and she was able to quickly make a stop in visit to meet my cat. I received pictures and updates about everything that was going on. It just made my vacation so much more relaxing knowing that I had someone as attentive as Stephanie watching my cat!”
“Another great experience with Jeffrey! This was our first time being away for two weeks and Jeffrey took wonderful care of our cats while putting us at ease. He is very attentive to the cats' needs and made a point of coming at the same time daily for consistency. He shared at least one photo daily and provided updates. Jeffrey is kind and gentle. We are so grateful for him.”
“Richard was great with communication, pictures and updates during our trip. He was very professional, came and checked everything out ahead of time. Our cat obviously trusted him right away which is no easy feat. Thank you!!”
About: I love all animals! I’ve had dogs my entire life! I would take care of your dog with same attention I would give my own. I work in office 3 days and week and remote 2 days a week. Late afternoons and evenings work best! I’m available all weekend long! I have a fenced in privacy fence with a latch. Perfect for any size dog! I do not have a crate but my home is dog friendly!
About: Our journey as a professional pet sitter began 3 years ago, and since then we loved it! We are experienced in providing care and love to a variety breeds, sizes and ages of the fur babies. Our furry guests will have the privileges of enjoying the gentle care along with the routine walks, bonding activities and musical entertainment in a clean and affectionate home. I am a stay-at-home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible for watching your fur babies. If I need to go out and run errands, I take the furry guests with me. We have 2 caged-in bunnies, and it's quite a surprise that they are not afraid of dogs! The bunnies can be relocated to upstairs if needed. Your fur babies will have supervised play in the backyard, and we always make sure to keep our house organized for safety reason. Please let us know your instructions from the vet for any special needs.
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.
“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.”

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!
Kayla is wonderful! She’s a warm, caring person who truly loves animals, and she really made an effort to bond with my cat (who is a sweet but very shy boy!) without overwhelming him. Kayla also did an excellent job of following detailed instructions (including setting an automatic feeder), and I really appreciated the photos and updates she provided while I was away. This was my first time using rover, and I feel so lucky to have found Kayla! I look forward to booking with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Newtown on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 9,328 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Newtown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your 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.
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 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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
