“Roxanne is a dream dog sitter! She keeps us up to date on our Yorkie Gracie and is dependable, reliable, kind, and easy to have in our home. We are so grateful to have found someone like Roxanne for Gracie.”
“Shaina was great. She watched our two dogs overnight in our house while we were away. She was very communicative, sent pictures and updates as I had requested at the meet and greet, and always responded in a timely manner. Highly recommend.”
“Yujie is so kind and caring, and took such great care of our animals and our house while we were away. Our dog can be anxious with new people, but she felt comfortable with Yujie right away and was also so calm and happy when we returned from our trip as well! So glad to have found Yujie and we look forward to booking her again :)”

About: Hi everyone, my name is Emily and I am excited to partner with Rover to do what I love best; working with all kinds of different animals. I work a full time job and devote my time off watching your furry loved ones. Please feel free to ask me any questions about my pet experience. Thank you and feel free to book with me soon. 🐾 I work a full time job however I accept house sittings and drop in bookings. My weekends are free and my evenings as well after 6pm for a drop in visit and dinner. I have a hour lunch break that I can accept drop ins, feeding and walks. I am pretty basic when it comes to caring for your animal. I follow the directions provided to me by the owner and create a bond with the animal. I want the pet to feel safe and comfortable with me most importantly. Fun time is always added in when we are following the schedule set by the parents. I love to send updates and create a full photo album of there entire booking. It helps create a base relationship with the pet owners seeing their pet relaxed and enjoying their absence.
“Jean was an absolute savior this last week! I had a last minute need for someone to come and stay with my dogs for 10 days, and I felt so lucky to find someone. And to top it off, she was the perfect pet/house sitter, too! She kept me in the loop everyday. The dogs loved her. Plus, when I got home late last night, the house was immaculate! Such a dream. I will use her over and over again!”
“Annie was wonderful with our newly adopted, timid dog. She was very patient and kind with our shy girl and we could tell when we got back from a weekend away that Annie had made Fern feel safe and right at home. Annie’s communication and photo updates were awesome. Will def book again!!”
About: We have 4 dogs and 2 cats. We have lived with animals the entire life. We have experience with animals with medical conditions, severe anxiety and can take care of multiple furry babies. Experiences with large and small breeds. Since we have 6 pets at our house we are not able to board at this time but can totally up for staying at your place! I can also go for a walk during the day or hang out with them as needed. So, if you need a company for your furry friend, just let me know! I will adjust our care style to fit your needs, I understand that all fur babies are different and need individualized attention based on your preferences.
“Joanna was great! She gave the perfect amount updates on my greyhound, Minerva while we were away and she kept our house super neat and clean. Minerva was so relaxed when we got home so we know she had a great weekend too! Would highly recommend!”
About: From puppies to older dogs, I've done it all: taking puppies out every 2 hours at night, specific medications at certain times throughout the day, to planned walks/runs. I have experience with puppy training fostering and now I'm training my own kitten. I'm a senior college student who has a lot of time to spare- especially on weekdays! I'm always available to take dogs on walks, jogs, or just for a quick little stop in. Treating fur-babies like my own has always been an easy feat for me. When it comes to home saftey, whether it be my own or a clients, simple communication goes a long way. House rules, schedules and specifications are always a big thumbs up from me!
About: Hi! My name is Cassie I have had 3 family dogs growing up all my life where I was responsible for feeding, walking, and grooming them. I also spent an entire winter in Colorado dog sitting! I am very passionate about providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets and am super excited to help out! I have a completely free schedule! Just send me a message and I will get back to you asap- never too early or too late ! I always prioritize their comfort, routine, and safety. I make sure they have a clean, cozy space, regular feeding times, plenty of fresh water, and daily exercise. I take time to bond with each pet, giving them attention and affection, while respecting their unique personalities! (+ I have a small fenced in backyard !)
“Kai and Devon were awesome! They were so kind and friendly and our dogs took to them immediately. We knew the dogs were well cared for because of constant communication and pictures. When we came home the house was way tidier than ever before and my husband was so shocked. It was a great surprise to come home to - a sparkling clean house after vacation. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again for our next vacation.”
“Super chill guy, William was easy for my nervous girl to adapt to. He’s great with her and goes the extra mile with little things that matter. Thank you, Bill.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newtown Square
Lilly did an amazing job with my 8.5 year old pug. She stayed with him for one week and I was thrilled he was able to stay in his routine with minimal stress (4th of July fireworks and thunderstorms excluded). She was great with communication and daily pictures. I would highly recommend her and will be using her in the future.
Eva came through for us at the last minute when we had to travel unexpectedly for a family emergency. Our dog absolutely loved her from the moment they met and we felt reassured that she was in good hands with Eva throughout the trip. Eva gave her lots of love, reassurance, snuggles, and care while we were gone, even asking about our dogs preferences while we were away to make sure our pup had everything she needs. We would definitely book Eva again in the future and highly recommend!

The average cost of House Sitting in Newtown Square is $83 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $60 and $89 per night. 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Newtown Square walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Newtown Square maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Square 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
