“Fatima was amazing to work with. I booked her on short notice before the holiday when my original plans fell through. She offered and made it a priority to come do a meet & greet on days notice. I’m always a little nervous when using a new sitter especially when they stay at mine, but my mind was at ease immediately when I met her. I could tell she has a big heart and really cares for animals. She followed all instructions and she went above and beyond spending time with Diesel doing his favorite activities (walks, playing fetch, swimming, etc.). She was incredibly communicative and sent a lot of pictures and videos which was much appreciated. As a former Rover sitter and a frequent user of Rover’s services, I can confidently say that Fatima is one of the best sitters I’ve come across. I will definitely be using her in the future and have already recommended her to others looking for sitters. Thank you Fatima!!!”
“This was my first time leaving our puppy Fritz and first time using Rover. I couldn’t be happier with our experience with Adrienne! I appreciated the daily check ins and pics/videos and I could tell that Fritz was happy and content and well cared for. I would recommend Adrienne and will use her again the next time we go out of town without the pup.”
“Stephen and Wipawee watched my dog and my sister’s dog at my house while we went away on a family vacation. The dogs were well cared for, had plenty of attention and were taken great care of! Couldn’t have asked for better sitters.”
About: I have had pets my entire life. Keeping dogs entertained, active, and loved as your own are so important to keep them happy and cherished. I’m currently job searching - so I have plenty of open time to make new furry friends and ensure they are well cared for & cuddled beyond belief! Leaving your pets behind is never easy, and I know the stress of worrying whether someone will truly consider and care for them the way you do. I offer a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet is treated like family. From gentle routines to plenty of affection, my goal is to give you total peace of mind while you are away.
“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!!”
About: I have experience caring for my own dog and other pets, plus volunteering with shelter cats. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities! I currently work full-time Monday through Friday, with a more flexible schedule for pet drop-ins on Fridays since I work remotely. I’m available most evenings after 5 PM and have open availability on weekends to provide your pets with reliable, loving care! When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to stick to their daily routines, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, and playtime. I follow all owner instructions and provide plenty of love, attention, and comfort so pets feel safe and at ease. I also keep their space tidy and send regular updates and photos to keep owners informed. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and ensure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away!
“Quazaye watched our 2 dogs on a overnight for 2 nights. One of our dogs is 15 and has diabetes and cushings and needs insulin 2X a day. Quazaye was able to administer the shots which not everyone can. Quazaye is very personable,trustworthy,dependable and responsive. I highly recommend her for care of your beloved pets!”
“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!”
“Melissa was a HUGE help, stepping in over the holidays for a long house-sitting service when a previous sitter had to cancel last-minute. She is personable and communicative, shared lots updates during the stay, and took good care of our house. Our dog and cat were in great hands, and it felt wonderful to come home to relaxed happy pets. Happy to recommend!”
“Molly is a pro and a delight, as always! Our geriatric dogs have a lot of behavioral quirks and hurdles, and Molly always handles their needs with great aplomb. The house is in great order. She’s courteous, reliable, and downright friendly. Honestly, I can never say enough good things about Molly! The dogs adore her, too!”
“Catilyn was an amazing sitter. Will for sure utilize her services again!! I needed someone last minute due to a cancellation and Catilyn responded to my message promptly, was able to do a meet and greet same day, and housesit for me that weekend. She is polite, professional, wonderful!!! I can home to a washed and made spare bed, home in great order, and happy pup!!!”
About: From week long in-home stays to quick 15 minute walks, I have done it all! I started occasional dog walking in 8th grade and i’ve continued pet care for 9 years. I have experience with high energy and large dogs like Belgian Malinois to lower energy senior dogs that just need companionship. I can truly cater to each dog and what they need. I grew up with dogs and currently have two, a rottweiler and a lab. I currently work two jobs but they are usually pretty spread out time wise. I work in the morning from 7:30 to 2:00pm and two nights a week from 7:00pm to 12:00 am. I have weekends free so plenty of time for visiting! I will not be able to offer any in home care as I have two dogs at home that do not enjoy the company of others.
“Elizabeth was amazing. We need a last minute dog sitter and she came through and saved vacation! She provided plenty of updates, photos, and videos. Our dog sometimes is a little shy coming out of her crate but she loved Elizabeth. We will definitely use Elizabeth's services again!!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes, especially larger breeds, and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. I’ve personally owned two Pit Bulls, one weighing 70 pounds and the other 132 pounds, along with a Pomeranian, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels! My family has always had larger dogs and has trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. I’ve also helped friends with cat sitting, so my love and experience extend beyond just dogs! For the past year and a half, I’ve been a stay-at-home mom, which has taught me even more about patience, responsibility, and maintaining a loving, attentive environment. I understand that pets are family, and I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your furry friend needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d give my own pets! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week, including weekdays and could be flexible depending on weekends. I’m happy to provide dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. My 1½-year-old would accompany me during visits, so I ask that pets be comfortable and safe around young children. I understand how important it is to find someone dependable to care for your furry family members, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving, and attentive care while working around your pet’s individual routine! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities! While I do not offer pet care in my own home, I’m more than happy to provide care in the comfort of yours, where your pets can remain in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including large breeds, as well as smaller dogs and cats. I understand that every animal has its own personality, needs, and boundaries, and I always take the time to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Since my young child accompanies me, I only accept pets that are comfortable around toddlers. I prioritize safe interactions, close supervision, and respecting each animal’s personal space. I’m also happy to follow any specific feeding schedules, walking routines, household rules, or special instructions you provide. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are receiving dependable, compassionate care while you’re away!
“Margaret came and stayed 2 nights with our 2 furbabies, ages 8 and nearly 14. I had never needed to find a non-family pet sitter, so I was quit nervous about the whole thing. But Margaret was amazing in so many ways. Our "pups" took to her immediately and so did we. And when we came home we could tell just how well she took care of EVERYTHING for us. I will never hesitate to book her in the future. Now we may even be able to take future short trips, knowing our dear pups are being so well cared for by Margaret.”
About: I grew up in a household with dogs, cats, and many other animals, so caring for pets has always been a part of my daily life. I recently worked in a vet clinic for many months, which gave me greater exposure to animal health and responsible pet care. I also cared for a senior cat for many years and gained experience managing medical and nutritional needs, administering medications, and paying close attention to changes in behavior or health. I currently have all day on most days to do to drop-ins and dog walks! I am available after 4:30 for house sitting, depending on what your pups’ needs are. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs so they can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow detailed instructions, including medication, feeding, and other special care.
About: I treat every dog like family, providing loving, dependable care. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with senior dogs, and always keep owners updated with photos and messages. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, allowing plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and giving each dog personalized attention every day! I will provide personalized care for each pup, following each pet’s routine with feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, medication if needed, and a safe, comfortable environment
“Nicole was amazing! Watched our pets/apartment over the weekend and did a great job. She sent updates with photos and videos and did a great job giving the cats mental enrichment. Would recommend Nicole’s pet sitting services to anyone!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Berlin
Our vacation was even better because we had complete confidence that our furry family member was being well cared for back at home. Theri was easy to work with. She contacted us when she arrived and throughout our 10 day vacation with pictures, questions (not many), and when she was getting ready to leave. Our home was left very neat, she even brought in the mail for us! Would 100% recommend Theri to others. Loved getting pictures throughout our time away. Hazel probably wants us to take more vacations so she can snuggle with Theri again!

FAQs for House Sitting - New Berlin
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in New Berlin is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $60 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.
As of November 2026, there are 1,304 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Berlin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Berlin. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
