“Latasha was wonderful! All the cats loved her as soon as they met her. She has a natural talent when it comes to getting to know your pets. She sent pictures of our cats to us everyday on vacation and was super responsive on her phone when we wanted to see our pets. It was such a relief knowing that she was here with them. One of the things I appreciated the most was that when we got here it was as clean as when we left it. She took all the notes and she performed the tasks laid out to her exactly like we did with the cats. She also helped keep them on their schedule by following their feeding times. Latasha played with them which is honestly more than I do sometimes. They may have gotten a little spoiled with all the attention lol. Each day she would send images but she'd also send a little story or observation of the cat. That was nice because it helped us to know that they were acting in their usual ways and not sad that we were gone and missed us. I would 1000% book Latasha again. If you've never had a cat sitter (we hadn't) she will answer all your questions and really set your nerves at ease.”

About: I've taken care of a multitude of different dogs since I was 13-14. Neighbors, friends, family have relied on me to take care of their fur babies. I feed, walk, bathe, and nourish their pets as if they were my own. I'm currently in school still right now but I have plenty of time on the weekends and after 3pm during the week. Once the summer picks up I will be more available I come with a positive attitude ready to take care of your pets as if they were mine. I find joy in the outdoors so taking your animals out to get some fresh air is no problem.

About: I have worked with dogs for quite a while now, started off as a boarding attendant at kennelwood, then managed some group play at dogtopia. I do now work full time at a spa. But, I am looking forward to taking care of your pet rather that’s dog-walking, pet sitting! I do know how to administer medication, and care for senior pets! Questions? book with me today. This is a part-time thing for me. I work full time at a veterinary clinic! This is more of a monthly thing for me. I care for pets in clients home, same with drop-in’s and walks. I stay in contact with clients via text/call. I always provide pictures during the stay.

“Allyson took great care of Maverick and he loved her - he’s sometimes selective in who he likes but he immediately felt comfortable with her. She sent me updates, left my house exactly as it was, and even picked up his poop in the yard. I had to change plans and times a few times and she was more than accommodating. I’ve already booked her two more times because I know I can trust she’ll take care of my pup.”

About: I’m a dedicated and experienced pet sitter with a deep love for animals. Having cared for my own Golden Retriever for 13 years and providing pet sitting services for friends and neighbors, I’ve developed a strong foundation in pet care. My experience is primarily with dogs, but I also adore and have been around cats. My approach to pet care focuses on providing individual attention, maintaining routines, and ensuring safety and well-being. I use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior and understand the importance of exercise and play for pets. I’m motivated by the joy of building bonds with different pets and seeing their unique personalities shine. Each pet receives personalized care tailored to their needs, ensuring they feel loved and secure while their owners are away. I offer a range of services including dog walking, overnight stays, administering medication, and anything else a client’s pet might need. My goal is to provide the highest level of care and ensure that every pet is happy and well-cared for. Feel free to reach out with any questions or specific requests. I look forward to meeting your furry friends! I’m a full-time teacher with a consistent weekday schedule—out the door by 7 AM and home by 3 PM—which means your pup will get plenty of love and attention in the afternoons, evenings, and full availability on weekends, holidays, and breaks. Most dogs are used to their owners being gone during the day, so my routine works great for pups who are crate trained or used to a calm, midday break. After work, I dedicate time to walks and playtime, ensuring pets receive the attention and exercise they need. Over the past year, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and have added multiple XL crates to my house, making things super convenient for owners with crate-trained pups—no need to pack one! After work, I dedicate time to walks and playtime, ensuring pets receive the attention and exercise they need. Your pup will feel safe, loved, and right at home with me! To ensure the safety of pets, I have a very large, securely fenced-in yard where they can enjoy fresh air and play freely. Inside the home, I keep the environment pet-proofed by removing any potentially harmful items and maintaining a cozy, comfortable space with plenty of bedding and room for relaxation. I manage potential risks by thoroughly assessing and adjusting the environment to eliminate hazards and monitoring pets closely for any signs of distress. If I’m caring for more than one dog at a time, I always feed them separately to avoid any food-related stress or aggression. I have several XL crates available, which are primarily used to create a safe and calm space for feeding and rest—especially for pups who are already crate trained. To build trust with pets and their owners, I maintain clear and open communication, following the owner’s specific instructions and providing regular updates and photos. This transparency reassures owners and helps pets feel comfortable and secure in my care. My focus is on creating a safe, comfortable, and trustworthy environment for every pet I look after.

About: I've had animals my whole life and currently have 3 dogs (2 huskies & a cattle dog, pit mix). I've had dogs, cats, a ferret, and some rodents growing up. I've always had a love for animals and have researched multiple animal topics on my own for many years! I worked in a vet office in the kennel for 2 years and have experience on the medical side. I trained my youngest husky all on my own, including kennel training, potty training, and obedience training, and grooming assistance. While I still have a full-time job until I get established I'll only be available in the evenings/nights for walks and overnights as I work 8-hour shifts at a time. Once I get established I will be available any time of day and any day of the week, except for maybe 1 or 2 hours on Wednesdays. I care for all animals as if they were my own. I always leave it how it was when I got there, if not better. I do my best to keep them in the same routine their owners have them in. I don't mind helping with other small tasks on the side for an extra fee.

You deserve peace of mind knowing your family pet is being cared for by someone who loves animals and wants to protect them! I am currently working part time on a few remote gigs.

I will always make sure to follow the directions left for me when taking care of your pet! I will respect the animal and my top priority is to make sure it is nourished, safe, and has all that it needs I feel comfort.

FAQs for House Sitting - New Melle

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,274 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Melle. 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 Melle 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 Melle 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 Melle 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 Melle. On Rover:

  • 90% 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.
