“Angelica was fantastic! She was very responsive to our short-notice house-sitting request and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She sent us daily photos and updates of our two dogs, Winston and Coco, which we really appreciated. She took great care of both our pets and our home and promptly let us know of any issues that arose. We came back to happy dogs and a well-cared-for house. We would absolutely recommend Angelica and would be happy to book her again!”
“Sarah was fantastic! She was so sweet with our three girls at the meet & greet, and they were in great spirits when we came home. Our American Bulldog, Boxer mix, and elderly kitty cat all loved her! She kept us updated while we were away and left our house clean and secure. So thankful for her comprehensive care over the holiday.”
“Michelle is fantastic. First and foremost, she is a genuinely good person who has an affinity for animals. Coordinating with Michelle was easy and she was extremely flexible. It was my first time leaving one of my boys who is extremely attached to me. That was not without its hiccups, but Michelle kept me posted and took great care of my boys.”
“Brittany was able to come last minute to watch my dog while I was out of town for the day. She was very patient and understanding of my old boy and did everything that I asked.”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 15 years old providing quality care for family members and friends. Looking forward to caring for your fur baby too! I'm currently available most days except Thursday evenings and Saturday and Sunday mornings. I have a very flexible schedule and able to assist as needed. However you need me to care for your animal I will oblige. I do not do anything more than what you tell me to, and if need be I am more than happy to do some light housekeeping.
“Samara is an amazing dog whisperer. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does and maintains constant communication throughout. I highly recommend anyone looking for a dog sitter, home sitter. Much appreciated Samara!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Val. She made our dogs and cat dreams come true. She played with them to their hearts content. Our Willie, which is a bit more shy immediately took to her. She also did things that were above and beyond, like watering my wife’s tomato plant. I have no doubt that we will re-booking with Val many many times in the near future. Thank you, Val!!”
“Raven treated our (3) pets like her own, they were very happy & well cared for. We had a literal book of instructions and she seemed to have it all figured out & everything was in great order when we got back. We will definitely call her next time we travel!”
“Lindsey watched our three dogs for a couple of nights on pretty short notice, and provided excellent care. She and our dogs bonded quickly during our first meeting, and we received photos and updates each day. We wouldn't hesitate to call Lindsey in the future when we need an in-home dog sitter.”
“Shameray was beyond helpful and patient with our girls (1 cat, 1 dog) they are beyond patient with our pup who is a little more anxious. Shameray was incredibly communicative and timely. If you need a Rover, for a day or a week, Shameray is great either way!”
“Mandy is an amazing pet sitter! She took great care of our home and four, high energy dogs. She showed them lots of love and cuddles, play time, and even gave them extra company with her long visits. One of our dogs had digestive issues while we were gone, and Mandy knew exactly what to do to get him back on track. We’re so grateful to her for the peace of mind and care for our fur babies! Highly recommend!”
“Jeremy was excellent with our three dogs over the holiday weekend. Despite the bad weather, they got plenty of exercise, and the house and yard were very clean when we returned. We would definitely have Jeremy back to watch our dogs.”

About: I'm a master's degree student and work fulltime but love to help pets on my freetime! While I don't have special skills, i can help with basics and have cared for little to extra large dogs! I've cared for pets my entire life and my family owns a farm so I spend a lot of time caring for animals! I will not be able to provide constant care on weekdays due to my job! I hope to help you and your pets soon! I work full time 8:30-5:00 with children! I'm in school for a master's program but it is virtual so as long as you offer WIFI, it will not be a barrier! My weekends are open but due to my fulltime job, I cannot provide constant care on weekdays! I can help with any pet related needs in home within my experience! This would include cleaning litter boxes, refilling food and water, brushing, letting pets out, and other daily maintenance! I also love to snuggle and play with them!
“Trevor has been an incredible sitter for our dog, Odin. He communicates clearly and consistently, keeping us updated and giving us complete peace of mind while we’re away. It’s obvious how much he genuinely cares for Odin, and that love and attention really show. We even had a small pet emergency while we were gone, and Trevor handled it quickly, calmly, and with so much care. We were incredibly grateful knowing Odin was in such capable hands. We feel so lucky to have found Trevor and couldn’t recommend him more highly. Knowing Odin is with someone who truly loves him makes all the difference.”

Kim did an excellent job caring for our three large, rambunctious dogs, which includes a puppy and a senior dog. She was attentive and knowledgeable and we felt very reassured they were in good hands. She was communicative and sent plenty of pictures so we know they were being cared for. Additionally, she also took great care of our house and everything was in order when we returned from a long trip. She was flexible and understanding when our flight was delayed by an emergency, which was a huge relief. We highly recommend her as a sitter and will definitely be using her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - New Sweden
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in New Sweden on Rover is $53.28 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,364 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Sweden. 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 Sweden 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 Sweden 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 Sweden 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
