“Angie had less than 24 hours notice to help when my boy was neutered and my sitter had to cancel!!!! She stayed all day to make sure he was well taken care of!! I’m so grateful for her help! My dogs love her!!”
“Stepen and Amelie took great care of our 1 year old dog and our home. They took our dog on multiple walks, played with him and made sure he was comfortable. They were great about keeping us up to date with pictures, videos and messages about how our dog was doing. We came home to a detailed list of what our dog did each day, how much he ate, when he used the bathroom and when he slept. We were very impressed and would recommend Stephen and Amelie.”
“Evita was excellent! She is incredibly responsive and communicative. We greatly appreciated regular updates with pictures on how things were going while we were away. Along with our dog being well cared for, our house was also well tended. I will absolutely be reaching back out any time we need a sitter.”
“Excellent, prompt communication when scheduling sitting and while we were away. Daily updates and pictures were so great to receive. Came home to a clean home and happy dog!”
“Joe is great. He stayed with our Chihuahua for a couple days and nights. He's responsive, sends great photos and Fiona seems relaxed and well cared for now that we are home.”
“Maiah did a terrific job taking care of my dog. She gave us daily updates and photos, left the house clean and even stayed with my dog so she didn’t get lonely! Amazing!”
“Sarah did a fabulous job with the Furry Herd! Five dogs is no small undertaking, much less having two with medical conditions requiring medication. She was very attentive, spending a good amount of time here when she came, and the dogs were super happy to see us, but not in a frantic way. What a wonderful way to come home! Loved the pictures, too!!!”
“Maggie did a wonderful job with Morgan & Frankie. She arrived when asked and even stayed longer then planned due to a flight delay. I received pictures and the dogs seemed happy and at ease. She said they were well behaved-everything a dog Mom wants to hear. She will help us again in a few days and I have total confidence they are in good hands and they will be happy to see her. I highly recommend her.”
“Alissa was great! She really came through for us at the last minute so we were able to enjoy our concert stress free! She kept us updated, and was prompt with her communication! The boys loved her!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting my neighbors dogs since I was 15. This summer I spent 2 months in Greece taking care of 100+ pound dogs! I have plenty of experience giving animals their medicine and grooming if needed! I am a full time student majoring in Animal Behavior, with many gaps in my schedule to have enough time for your animal! I am the most free on the weekend but have time throughout the weekdays! As I am a student I do not have my family dog with me. However I would love to treat your dog as my own and care for them greatly!
About: I had my little ‘Snoop’ for 13 years. I was his main caretaker. My family was jealous of the fact that he only wanted me. We would walk long distances everyday. I have a strong opinion that these wonderful animals need to have exercise and a fun interactive life. I feel they are so special and innocent and I feel so happy when a dog is in my presence. I have my own business so I have a flexible schedule. It is extremely important as a pet owner to feel content when you leave your ‘baby’ behind, and you will have no worries when I’m taking care of your pet. Looking forward to helping you out and making your life easier and stress free. Thank you!
“We were so lucky to have Jamila watch our pups for the past two Christmases. She is a trustworthy sitter, and I appreciate the pictures and updates she provided. We will be using her again!”
“Aimee was great. She made sure the pups were loved the entire time and these two bulldogs want to be with people. Aimee kept the pups happy the entire time. Aimee communicated great and was very responsive if I checked in on things myself. I definitely recommend Aimee...as long as it isn't during a time where I would love her to stay with my pups, lol.”
“Ryan was fantastic! He took great care of our very large dog, who can be reactive at times. I completely trusted him while we were away for a week. We received lots of updates like we asked. He gave our dog medicine without any issues. We came home to a very happy pup and a spotless house. Ryan even got our mail and watered our flowers while we were away, which was super nice. We highly recommend him and already have our next trips booked with him!”
“We feel so incredibly lucky to have found Justine! She watched our 10 month old puppy, Rumi, for the weekend and truly went above and beyond. Leaving your pup and your home in someone else's hands can be stressful, but Justine gave us total peace of mind - we knew right away he was in the best hands! She kept us connected the entire time with constant updates and photos. Rumi even got to meet her family briefly, and I can tell he absolutely loved it, especially hanging out with her son! To top it off, when Rumi had a minor issue with an itchy ear, Justine stepped right in with excellent preventative care, keeping him comfortable until we could get him to the vet on Monday. Rumi clearly had a fantastic weekend. We couldn't ask for a more trustworthy, communicative, and caring sitter - highly recommended!”
“Sam took excellent care of my dogs and home. I was happy to get pics and updates, as well as to come home to a clean house. He even washed the bedsheets ? I recommend Sam for both house and pet sitting!”

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 New Berlin 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 New Berlin 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 New Berlin 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.
