“Gracie was so great. I was nervous about how my pup would interact with someone new but she was able to do a meet and greet first. She was so patient with him and I will be booking her again in the near future.”
“Emilee was great with the kitties! She kept me updated on how they were doing, which is great as a pet owner leaving your pets alone. I asked her pretty last minute for this service and she was very nice to fit into her birthday weekend! 🥹 Thank you so much!!”
“I never have to worry about Sage when I'm on vacation. Not only does Virginia take great care of her but she notices things like how much water she is drinking or if she does not seem as active. Virginia also leaves Sage's area very clean and neat. I will not trust anyone else as much with my girl.”
“Maggie is amazing! Reliable, prompt, and so kind with our fur babies. And they definitely love her as well... even our shy one thay wants nothing to do with anyone. If you're reading this, HIRE HER!!”
“Chantelle is hands down one of the best pet sitters I’ve come across! She did a great job with our cats and sent me lots of pictures. She also followed all instructions and was respectful of our home. Highly recommend, and I will definitely book with her in the future.”
About: Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine, labeling me the "animal lover" of the family. I volunteered in a dog grooming/boarding business when I was in middle school, and as an adult, I volunteered at the Austin Humane Society for 4 years. (walking, training, feeding, bathing, playing) Pet care is not just about being IN the room; it's about active engagement, playing, keeping structure, and giving your fur babies the dedicated love and attention they need while you're away. I understand routine is important for giving your pet(s) comfort and peace of mind. I also believe in positive reinforcement to keep up with any ongoing training you're already practicing at home. Whether your pet is high-energy and needs structured play, a senior dog who prefers couch cuddles, or a cat who wants to play on their own terms, I do my best to adapt effortlessly to all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. For house sitting, I'm typically available all days & times of the week except for Sundays heading into Monday mornings. For visits, I'm down for an early morning walk/jog, a midday trip to the nearest walking trail, and/or a visit before bedtime. When I visit your home, your rules apply. I follow all feeding schedules, play times, walking times/routes, treat allowances, etc. I am very comfortable administering medications and bathing, if needed.
About: Hi, pet owners! I love dogs with a passion, but I am unable to care for one 24/7 like any dog deserves. Therefore, I thought dog sitting would be a happy medium. I have dog sat in the past many times for friends and family and have always been happily invited back. I spent two years as a manager of a Doggy daycare as well. I know how important our dogs are to us, so I will make sure to treat your dog as one of my own. I have experience taking care of dogs ranging from toy poodles to mastiffs. I also have been through dog training classes and dog walking classes. Your best friend will be in good hands with me! I have a pretty flexible schedule during the day and work evening and weekends, and my schedule doesn’t require I’m away for longer than 5 hours in most cases. I will treat your dog as one of my own. I will be sure to talk through your typical schedule for them, so everyone will be comfortable!
About: I have spent the majority of my life around all types of animal, dogs being my passion. I have worked as a pet sitter since I was 10 years old, and recently I worked at a doggy daycare where I groomed, trained, and watched over dozens of dogs everyday. I played with puppies and seniors, trained and untrained, friendly and not so friendly, and I loved every single dog! I am currently working on getting certified in dog training, as I have a lot of love for reactive or aggressive dogs, or even just high maintenance ones. That being said, I also love to cuddle up to sweet pups who only need affection! I recently graduated university and do not have any commitments other than doctors appointments I have on a regular basis, but these do not require me to be out of the house for more than two hours. I have experience with taking care of dogs in their own environments, I know how to interact with all types of dogs and can help with any kinds of commands that are being taught, can crate them, feed them, and clean up after them. I have rescued several feral cats and have cat sat for years and am prepared for any type of cat; one that needs nonstop cuddles or ones that stick to themselves.
“Shelby was very communicative and took wonderful care of our kitty while we were gone over the holiday weekend. She sent us pictures and updates and even alerted us when she thought something was wrong in our house. I can't recommend her enough and we are so happy we hired her.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals almost all of my life, since about 10 years old. I have always felt that animals make the best of friends and should be treated like family. I have experience fostering young pets, as well as caring for more senior pets. I am very patient and can work with animals with all different needs. I’m going back to school online, so I will have plenty of time to check on your babies! I am currently available any day/time until my school starts. I’d love to spend some more time with fluffy friends! I will be very attentive to your pet's needs and wants. I’d love to have play time any time! If there are any signs of distress, I will escalate the situation to the best of my ability, always making sure your pet is comfortable before approaching. If any emergencies arise, you will be contacted immediately.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for 10 years, and caring for my dog, Watson, has taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and understanding each dog’s individual needs. Watson is reactive, so I’ve learned how to recognize stress, be mindful of his surroundings, and carefully manage situations to help him feel safe and comfortable. I’ve also cared for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs and understand how important it is to maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. I’m reliable and attentive, and I’ll make sure your dog gets the meals, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and care they’re used to. I’m also comfortable following specific care instructions and paying close attention to any special needs or medications. I’m able to work pet care into my regular routine and prioritize being reliable and consistent with scheduled visits and walks. I understand that pets do best with a predictable routine, so I make it a priority to follow their usual feeding, potty, play, and exercise schedule. I’ll communicate clearly with owners and make sure their pets receive the time and attention they need during each visit. During drop-in visits and walks, I’ll make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting the attention they need. I’ll follow their normal routine for meals, potty breaks, playtime, and exercise, while being mindful of anything that may cause them stress. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
About: I have taken care of many dogs for family and friends in the Austin area for overnight trips, emergency trips, and day to day care. I follow instructions well and love to spend time with all animals, especially dogs. I take care of my two cats at home daily and occasionally take care of other pets for friends and family. I have a part time job so my schedule is flexible. I check their essentials every day (water, food, etc.) and spend time with them to make sure they’re active and happy. Any other needs I happily take care of with instructions given to suit the needs of your pet and home!
About: Hi! I’m Alexis, a dog lover and proud dog mom myself! 🐶 I’ve been around dogs for years and understand how important it is to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or just keeping them company. I know every dog has their own personality and needs, so I’ll take the time to get to know what makes your pup comfortable. I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands! ❤️ Having a dog of my own, taking care of pets is already a normal part of my everyday life. I’m used to feeding, playing with, giving attention to, and making sure they’re happy and comfortable throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy having animals around, so caring for someone else’s pet would fit naturally into my routine. I’d treat your pet like one of my own while you’re away! I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m attentive to their surroundings and make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure. I also follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific routines or preferences. I treat every pet with patience and care, and I’ll always keep their safety and well-being a priority.
About: I grew up with an amazing Doberman and 3 wonderful Rottweilers so I love big dogs and have lots of experience working with them. My family had 2 cats and my favorite aunt has had many more throughout her lifetime that I always wanted to go play with. I have through the years also had fish, rabbits, and many friends and family who I've help care for their reptiles(turtles, lizards, snakes, birds) in addition to their fur babies. I'm trying to make animal care my full time job while everyone is at school, so I have all day to care for your pets and home during the week. My home has a very nervous shelter rescue dog so I cannot invite new dogs in, but I have house/pet sat for many friends and families through the years and always had happy results. I understand every animal has individual needs and I strive to accommodate that, along with always trying to leave a place as nice as if not better than I found it.
About: I grew up in a home full of animals. We had dogs, cats, lots of birds, turtles, snakes, lizards, rabbits and ferrets. I love all animals! I have experience with them at all stages of life and especially enjoy training them. My dog is a part of my family, I will always treat every animal in my care as if they were my own family member. I do work over night a few days out of the week, but I am able to be available to care for your fur baby whenever. I have a fenced in backyard in a quiet new neighborhood. I have lots of toys and treats and can provide frequent potty breaks. I believe in providing the same level of care I would want for my fur baby.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Sweden
Emilee was an absolute lifesaver! She made me feel so comfortable and at ease leaving Pippa and Princess in her care. I had a last-minute trip to San Antonio, and unfortunately, my regular sitters weren't available. Emilee came through! She was incredibly responsive, efficient, caring, and sweet throughout the entire experience. I truly appreciated how easy she made everything during a last-minute situation. I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to her again for future pet-sitting needs. She was awesome, and I highly recommend her!
Brenda was wonderful with our two dogs! She made several drop-in visits while we were away and went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. She fed and watered them exactly as instructed, but I especially appreciated that she took the time to play fetch with them and let them enjoy some fresh air and time outside of their kennels. She even brought our packages inside the house for us, which was such a thoughtful extra touch. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs were in good hands while we were away. Brenda is kind, dependable, and clearly cares about the animals she looks after. I would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone in the area looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets! 🐾❤️
Jackeline was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She made sure they were well taken care of, played with them, took them outside, and gave them plenty of love and attention. She kept me updated with pictures and was always responsive, which gave me peace of mind. It was clear she genuinely cared about their well-being and made sure they had everything they needed. I really appreciate her care and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - New Sweden
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in New Sweden is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. 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 6,976 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across New Sweden. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Sweden. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
