“Karri was great with our elderly dog while we were gone for a week. She stayed in our home and took care of him like he was her own. She went over and above in taking care of Ben. He has ongoing health issues that can change very quickly and she easily adapted to his needs, gave meds and even completed ear cleanings when needed. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. We will not hesitate to have Karri stay with Ben again.”

About: I’ve had and loved animals my entire life. As an adult I’ve had 2 German shepherd’s and have done positive reinforcement training with both of them. My daughter also had a rescue dog that was very special to our family. Currently I have 3!! dogs and a cat. I love all furry friends! My availability to provide pet care varies. I’m currently working full time as a nurse/clinic leader but I have the flexibility to work from home on occasion. I’ll do my best to accommodate needs. I can provide and respect any safety recommendations as requested. I want you and your pet to feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away.

About: I’ve cared for family and friends pets for years, but more importantly, I worked as a pet care assistant manager for 3 years, and currently hold a part-time pet care position. Through these opportunities I have spent my time managing large play groups, administering medication, caring for daily pet care needs, and creating care plans for pets in need of special care. I’ve had extensive training in body language, health and safety, and dog handling. But most importantly, I love animals and have a deep passion for keeping pets happy and healthy! I currently am student teaching in Hutchinson, which means I have a flexible schedule whenever I’m not teaching a class! I have most afternoons and evenings free, along with multiple free periods throughout the work day. Unfortunately, I have an unfriendly dog and am unable to care for animals in my own home, however, I am openly available to make my way to you and your pets!

About: I hold a degree in Animal Science from the University of Wisconsin–River Falls, where I completed a variety of courses focused on animal care, behavior, and management, along with gaining valuable hands-on experience in dog training. I also have over eight years of experience fostering and training service animals. Through this experience, I have developed a strong understanding of canine behavior and am comfortable working with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I prioritize patience, consistency, safety, and individualized care for every dog I work with. I especially enjoy spending time outdoors and going on walks, and I look forward to providing your dog with plenty of exercise, companionship, and attention. I’m excited to meet you and your pet and provide reliable, high-quality care while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize providing consistent, attentive care. I have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays, and I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. I especially enjoy incorporating walks and outdoor time into my day and look forward to making pet care a rewarding part of my regular routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I follow each pet’s individual care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, and any specific preferences or routines. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while respecting the pet’s space and personality. I also understand that caring for a pet means caring for their home, so I am respectful, responsible, and mindful of keeping the space clean and secure. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

“Hailey is the best. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and amazing with my two pups. She does a great job of taking care of your home and your pets. My doggos are both rescues, both have their own quirks, and both of them are very selective with humans. But they loved Hailey the moment they met her; and seeing them in the pictures Hailey sends me, I can tell they love having her stay with them.”

FAQs for House Sitting - New Germany

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,881 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Germany. 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 Germany 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 Germany 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 Germany 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Germany. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
