“Katherine was so great, from the 1st meeting both our dog & us loved her. She was so sweet with Charlie and he instantly was sweet right back. We were on an 18 day itinerary & Katherine didn't miss a beat, stayed with Charlie day & night & made sure he was happy. We highly recommend her for all future dog/house sitting jobs. Responsive, dependable and most important, loves what she does. 10 out of 10 🌟's.”

“Emma took the best care of our babies. We arrived home to our house with a happy old pup and lazy cat. She catered to their every need and left everything just as she found it. We had to add last minute medication to be given to our older dog and Emma took care of his meds and supplements with ease. She spoiled our little dog while we were gone and it was so nice for him to get to stay in his own home while we were gone. We will definitely be using Emma again when we have to be away without the pets.”

“We had a wonderful experience with our Katia! She watched our two dogs and house-sat for two days, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything went. Even though this was her first time sitting for us, she was very communicative, kept us updated, and sent lots of photos of our pups, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciate the care and attention she gave our dogs and our home. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

About: I have loved animals as long as I can remember but couldn't have them because my mom was allergic when I was a kid. I previously had a cat for 4 years who tragically died from an epileptic seizure earlier this year and and I have 2 young kittens now. I am unemployed at the moment so I have pretty open availability to be there whenever needed to take care of your pets. I am more than happy also to help out on weekends and most holidays. I definitely would follow any specific directions given by the pets owner as well as send frequent updates and pictures just so you feel comfortable and know your babies are being taken care of and loved while you are gone.

About: I’m an experienced and caring dog lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all personalities and sizes. I’ve had dogs throughout my life and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet while you’re away. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means going on walks, playing, giving lots of cuddles, keeping up with their routine, or simply providing some company. I’m also comfortable following specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, and household routines. I miss having a dog around and would love the opportunity to make new memories with your pup! My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone. I am a current Master's student at Texas Tech studying Couple, Marriage, and Family Therapy. I have classes Monday-Wednesday, so after class I have plenty of time to care for your pup! I am mostly available weekdays and available all day on weekends! I’m happy to care for pets either in my home or in their home, depending on what works best for you and your pet. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as much as possible. I am happy to accommodate any pet's needs! My apartment has a dog park with tons of toys and room to play! It's also a nice area to take them for walks around the block.

About: If it's love they want, I give and if it's to be left alone, I can control myself, I promise! I do not have training experience but I have cared for many animals in need of special care in the past. I am a mother of three and they are all in school most part of the day. Activities and school events will arise, however, I will never let it interfere with my responsibilities. Should I care for your fur babies at my home and leave for drop off and pick ups, I am more than happy to use my small traveling kennels or use theirs if traveling is safe for them. I am a stay at home mom so my schedule has more so become a routine rather anything else and so should there be a minor change I will give notice with ample time. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your pet if needed but, at the moment, I do only have one small kennel and a small traveling kennel as well. I do not invite your pets to get on furniture but I also do not turn away cuddles and snuggle, and kisses on any piece of furniture. My oldest is 15, followed by middle child who is 11. My youngest is 4 but he is the most loving and gentle kid because he has grown with Chihuahuas and has learned that not all pets should be played with in any way not invited.

About: I provide attentive, compassionate care for pets of all kinds, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic medications, and maintaining a clean environment. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to adjust my approach to meet their individual needs—whether that means high-energy exercise, gentle care for older pets, or extra patience with shy animals. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and occasional weekend visits as needed. I’m organized and good at planning ahead, which allows me to reliably fit pet care into my day while still giving each pet the time and attention they deserve. I provide attentive and respectful care in both my home and my clients’ homes, always prioritizing the pet’s comfort, routine, and safety. I follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain consistency with feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - New Deal

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 253 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Deal. 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 Deal 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 Deal 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 Deal 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 Deal. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
