“Our normal dog sitter cancelled on us last minute, so we used Rover and reached out to Jordan. She responded quickly, and took time to come meet our pups before accepting. She was extremely professional, kept frequent communication about our dogs with pictures so we knew they were in good hands. I highly recommend using Jordan and will be using her again in the future.”
About: I’ve had dogs and puppies all my life. I also have experience cat sitting for family and friends. Most all animals love me once they get to know me and I love all animals I am a full time college student but I have plenty of time throughout the day to check on the dogs and spend time with them. I have a fenced in yard with great neighbors. I have multiple friendly dogs but would not necessarily recommend having them at my house. Thanks.
“Nicholas was amazing! He was extremely professional, and communicative. Took care of my dog like it was his own. Kept me updated when I asked, left me with no worries! Definitely will be rebooking in the future!”
“Andrea is amazing!! She loved on our pets and took the best care of them. She kept us updated and exceeded any & all expectations. Already planning on rebooking her for future dates.”
About: Animals have been my world for as long as I can remember. What started as helping family, friends and neighbors care for everything from birds to horses eventually grew into a lifelong career. Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked as a professional kennel technician and spent six dedicated years as a pet groomer. Because of this background, I bring a wealth of hands-on expertise to pet sitting, including administering medications, managing special routines, understanding strict diet precautions, handling grooming needs, and much more. This isn't just a professional skill set for me, it's a personal one. At home, I care for my own sweet pack of senior and special needs cats and dogs who require precise daily medications, so keeping your pet's health routine perfectly on track is second nature to me. I truly believe our pets are family, and they deserve nothing less than the absolute best. I would love to give your furry best friend the expert care, safety, and deep affection they deserve while you're away! I currently work full time in ER overnight Tuesday-Thursday. This allows me to be available most days, ecspecially Friday-Monday. My husband is also off during the summer, so if your fur babies are being boarded at my house, they have 24/7 care. In my home, I have a room dedicated to animals that I board. So if you want them kept separate from my animals they can be. If you want them to have company, I have both cats and dogs that are loving and love new friends. I have a huge back yard that is treated against things like fleas/ticks and it is animal safe. I can provide crates for any size dog if needed. I have tons of dog toys, cat toys, and little pools for cooling down on hot days. I spend a lot of time making interactive fun play times for all my animals. For cats, they also have their own room with calming Sentry plug in to help create a calm environment for them. They will have their own litter boxes, toys, and every comfortable place they can lay in with lots of sunlight. My husband is off in the summers, and I work nights so I am up at night on my days off, in our home your animals have 24 hour care. As far as for care in your own home, I will care for them anyway that you normally do. I offer walks, play time, I can give them pets and hugs, I will do whatever they need to feel comfortable and safe. I can follow any specialized routine your pet may need. I also offer baths and nail trims if requested and it can be completed without stressing the animal too much. I offer these services for both cats and dogs.
“Clara had amazing communication. She was very responsive to my messages and shared photos of the pets. She is watching our fur babies and house next month and I'm sure the dogs will be excited to see her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a small child. I enjoy making sure your pets have a great time with me. I currently work from home during the day but am able to come by in the mornings and late afternoon/evening. If you have alternative plans while I work such as a friend or family member stopping by, that is okay with me. I do not work weekends so I am 100% free those days as well. If this is your first booking, use my discount code to save $20! It is BLAKET69308 I will ensure that the pets don’t go outside alone. I will ensure they have all the food and water and treats they need per your instructions.
“We were nervous having never left our 6 animals for any prolonged period, but Lauren exceeded our expectations. She communicated with us throughout the entire time we were gone, sending us pictures and updates. Lauren was quick to respond to our message’s prior to booking, even though we contacted on such short notice before the holidays. Our kitty got sick on the tail end of our trip, she stayed longer to make sure he was ok. Lauren was even able to get our problem child (dog) onto friendly terms within day 1. Lauren is very experienced, friendly, and a great communicator, we would highly recommend her services.”
About: I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats for family, friends, and classmates. My profession also has me working with all kinds of animals, so I am very used to working with different animals. I work on a 3 days on, 3 days off schedule, so I can work unusual days and hours at times. With this schedule I also am able to work different days each week. I constantly am providing my dog and dogs I care for with enrichment. It could be something small like spraying their tennis ball with a new smell or something complex like a new puzzle feeder. I try to constantly make them think for their treats and to help stimulate their natural senses
“Katie was wonderful with our 14 year old pup who gets anxious being alone . She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures! Reassuring us he was in great hands , which we appreciated so much! We have scheduled with her again.”
“Lucy filed in on short notice for a two week vacation trip. She took good care of our two dogs including one that is very wary of strangers. Our house was immaculate when we returned and our plants were in great shape also.”
“We had an unexpected trip pop up the week before Christmas. Michelle accepted our request to pet sit even though we did not give her 24 hours notice. She came by and did a meet and greet the same day we contacted her and was taking care of our pets within 24 hours. She was very communicative and took lots of pics for us since we were nervous leaving them. We have already told Michelle that we would like to hire her for a trip this summer. She was excellent.”
“Katy was amazing! She is a gentle, thoughtful dog sitter who took such excellent care of our pups (and home!) while we were away. I could tell by the pictures that our girls were thankful to have her company. Katy vacuumed and mopped before our return home (our pups are super shedders and diggers! 😳), which was above and beyond anything we could have wished for. As if that wasn’t enough. Katy also handmade the cutest, most thoughtful tree ornaments for our pups! Katy is an excellent pet sitter and an all around great human, we are so grateful we were able to have her take care of our girls!”
“Abby did a great job with our pets on a short notice request for watching our pets. She was very respectful and helpful during her visit. She was very helpful and responsive to any questions I had, kept me informed the entire time we were gone. I can’t imagine a better person for the job.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 791 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Newalla. 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 Newalla 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 Newalla 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Newalla 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.
