This was my first time using Adele to let my dogs out and I think she did a wonderful job when I came home. Everybody was happy and healthy and that’s all I asked for and I would definitely use her again.

Hannah is awesome. Flexible, consistent, great with the pets. She is great at communicating and filling us in on how everyone is doing when we are on trips, and leaves you with a peace of mind that is invaluable when you are away. We will continue using her for both our dog and cat needs,

Paige did a fantastic job watching our two kittens for two weeks while we were out of the country. She gave daily updates with photos and was quick to communicate when she found a potential issue with the automatic feeders. Both of our kittens quickly warmed up to her and we will absolutely use her services again in the future! :)

She occasionally has a stubborn streak even with us. I just sit and wait her out when she does that. We just started her in some joint products as we think she’s a little sore from walking a lot. She loves being outside, but we are monitoring her activity some. I’m sure Monday she will start to get used to you Vs us, thanks very much!

About: 🐾 Pet Care Experience I've had two amazing Labrador Retrievers and truly understand the special bond between dogs and their families. Every dog who stays with me is treated like one of my own in a safe, calm, and loving home. My home is best suited for well-adjusted adult dogs who enjoy a calm environment and are comfortable with a typical weekday work schedule. I welcome one family's dog(s) at a time and never mix dogs from different households. This allows me to provide personalized attention in a quiet, low-stress environment where your dog can truly relax and feel at home. I work full-time during the weekdays (approximately 7:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.). Before and after work, your dog will enjoy walks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection. Evenings and weekends are dedicated to quality time together, and when my schedule allows, I may occasionally stop home during the day for an extra potty break. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply curling up on the couch, I'll tailor their care to their individual personality and routine. My goal is for every dog to feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you're away. You'll receive regular updates and photos throughout your dog's stay, so you can travel with confidence knowing your best friend is in caring, dependable hands. Schedule: I work Monday through Friday from approximately 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., making my home an excellent fit for adult dogs who are comfortable with a typical weekday routine. Before and after work, your dog will enjoy walks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Evenings and weekends are dedicated to quality time together, and when my schedule allows, I may occasionally stop home during the day for an extra potty break. I'm available for both weekday and weekend boarding and welcome longer stays. To provide each dog with the best possible experience, I host only one family's dog(s) at a time in my calm, loving home. Safety, Trust & Environment: Your dog will enjoy a safe, clean, and comfortable home where they'll be treated like part of the family. I welcome only one family's dog(s) at a time, creating a calm, low-stress environment with plenty of personalized attention. My home features a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely explore, play, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. I also live in a pet-friendly neighborhood that's perfect for daily walks and have nearby parks for even more exercise and enrichment. Whether your dog loves playing outside, going for walks, or simply relaxing indoors, I'll tailor their stay to their individual personality and routine. My goal is to provide a safe, loving home where every dog feels comfortable, secure, and cared for while you're away.

About: I've been around animals my whole life. I grew up with dogs, and these days I'm often the person friends and family call when they need someone to look after their pets. I've spent plenty of time walking dogs, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they're well cared for while their owners are away. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including larger, high-energy breeds. I enjoy getting to know each animal's personality and building trust with them. I've even trained my own cats to do tricks and respond to commands using positive reinforcement. Taking care of animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I take the responsibility seriously because I know how much people's pets mean to them. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to provide walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. Outside of work, taking care of animals has always been a regular part of my life, whether that's spending time with my own pets or helping friends and family with theirs. Because I work a consistent schedule and plan my time carefully, I can be reliable and punctual when it comes to pet care. I enjoy getting outside for walks and spending time with animals, so it's something I genuinely look forward to rather than trying to squeeze into a busy schedule. I try to keep things as close to the pet's normal routine as possible. When I'm caring for a pet in their home, I follow the owner's instructions and make sure they're getting everything they need, whether that's walks, meals, playtime, medications, or just some company while their owner is away. I pay attention to each animal's personality and body language and adjust my approach accordingly. Some pets want lots of attention and activity, while others are happier with a quieter approach and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with both. Safety is always important to me. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I keep an eye out for anything that seems out of the ordinary. My goal is to make sure pets are comfortable, well cared for, and as stress-free as possible while their owners are away. I make sure that I'm always available, and communication is a huge priority for me

About: I currently work as a supervisor at a doggy daycare and have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs. I also have personal experience caring for special needs and mobility-impaired dogs, including medication administration and bladder expression. Animals are truly my passion, and I treat every pet like family. I work mornings and spend a lot of time caring for my own rescue babies, so I currently offer pet care visits between 3 PM–9 PM to ensure every animal gets my full attention and care. I know how important trust is when it comes to someone caring for your pets, because my own babies are my entire world too. I believe building a bond with each pet is just as important as meeting their physical needs, so I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll care for your pets with patience, attention, and kindness while keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible.

About: I’m a licensed veterinarian in Brazil and I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life. My father is a huge dog lover, so I grew up helping care for our family pets from a very young age. In Brazil, I had four dogs who are now happily living with my parents. Here in the U.S., I have my sweet mini Goldendoodle, Madalena, who is very friendly and loves having company. Because of my background in Veterinary Medicine and my lifelong experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, I feel very confident providing safe, responsible, and attentive care. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work at a coffee shop from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. After 3:30 p.m., I’m fully available for pet care, including walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. On Sundays and Mondays, I’m off from work and available all day for boarding, daycare, and other services. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I offer a calm, clean, and cozy home environment where pets can relax, play, and feel secure. My mini Goldendoodle, Madalena, is very friendly and gentle, which helps visiting dogs feel more comfortable and welcomed. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, I always follow their routine exactly as instructed—feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest. I’m very attentive to body language and behavior to make sure each dog feels safe, respected, and stress-free. I provide constant supervision when I’m home, lots of love and positive interaction, and a peaceful space where dogs can settle in comfortably. My goal is to make every pet feel like part of the family.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - West Newbury

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in West Newbury on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 9,308 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Newbury. 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 West Newbury 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 West Newbury. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
