“Alaina was great! She took the boys for some walks, one got muddy and she bathed him, and one also got an upset stomach one day in the house. She cleaned it all up and made sure he was good to go. She really did well with my furry kids. I will use her again whenever I am in need of someone to trust with them.”
About: Hi! I’m Morgan, an experienced pet caregiver with a background working with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and species—both inside and outside the veterinary field. Along with caring for my own pets and family members’ animals (including fish and even tarantulas!), I’ve developed the skills and confidence to provide attentive, reliable care for pets of all kinds. Whether your pet needs feeding, walks, playtime, medication, or extra TLC, I’m committed to following their routine exactly as instructed. My veterinary experience has also given me a strong attention to detail, allowing me to recognize potential medical concerns and provide thoughtful care while you’re away. I have references from veterinary technicians as well as previous coworkers and boarding facility owners, and I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and trustworthy. I’m currently pursuing online schooling in wildlife rehabilitation, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to offer care throughout the week—including weekends. I can accommodate nearly any feeding, walking, or medication schedule, and I’m happy to care for puppies, seniors, and pets with special needs. I also come prepared with cleaning supplies, treats, extra food, and a pet first-aid kit so I’m ready for whatever your pet may need. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, so you can have complete peace of mind. Currently I am in the process of entering online schooling for wildlife rehabilitation, which should have no issue with my caretaking availability! I am able to take care of your pets any day, any time, including on weekends! I can work with any type of feeding, walking, and medicating schedule needed for your pets, and am always happy to clean up any accidents from pups or elders! I always try to bring my own set of cleaning supplies, treats, extra food, and a pet first-aid kit so I can be 100% prepared for any scenario that may come my way.
“Jadyn was very prompt, flexible when our flights got cancelled on the way out and way back in. She took GREAT care of our babies and our home, sending updates, pictures and leaving our home neat and orderly. We highly recommend Jadyn!!”
“Reyna was wonderful to work with-great at communicating, kept us updated with pictures during her stay, and took great care of our house and dog. We’ve already booked her again for another trip ☺️”
About: We’ve both owned pets since we were born, taking care of various neighbors pets whenever they needed. We find so much value in keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I’m a stay at home mom, and doing this makes that possible! I find it amazing I’m able to spend my days with not only my cute little baby, but hopefully your fur babies too! I know pets miss their owners while they are away, and I know the stress of being away from your animal. It’s my priority to ensure that your pets have the best time possible while they are with me and so can feel as comfortable as possible with them in my care.
“Shelby was great! She did a meet and greet the day before to see my boys. She sent pictures and updates. And she was flexible with our schedule. My boys were so well taken care of!”
“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!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was a child. I have vast experience with anxious or nervous dogs and ones with high energy. I have cared for dogs from Chihuahuas and Dachshunds to Great Danes, Mastiffs, and Huskies and currently regularly dog sit two dogs. I have taken care of puppies as well as older dogs with special needs including two diabetic dachshunds that went blind. I also have no issue with changing diapers for dogs as needed! I am currently available any time except for Thursdays from 3:30-5:30pm for pet care! I don’t mind checking on pets very early or very late in the day either! I prefer to meet the client/pet prior to beginning pet sitting to ensure I can ask all necessary questions for their care. I have experience with anxious animals and am fast at picking up on each animals specific preferences.
“Brooke was great! She housesat for us and we came home to a clean house and a very happy, un-stressed dog & cat. We could tell our pets had been well cared for while we were away! We’d definitely book with her again.”
About: I have loved and owned various animals since childhood and cared for dozens of others throughout the years. I am a former vet tech so I am comfortable with medications, injections, special diets and any other needs. I lead with compassion and would love to help you keep your dogs in their comfort zone while you are away. I have a very flexible schedule to accommodate housesitting, drop in visits and walking. I am available short notice and for extended periods of time. Reach out to me to discuss your needs! I have a large fenced yard and a 13 year old daughter who loves to play cuddle and assist with pet care. I am very accomodating and will make sure your pets are safe and comfortable.
“Sabrina looked after my two big boys (a Lab and a Weim) while I am recuperating from a medical procedure. She was excellent with my boys and they had no problems with her. Will absolutely use her again.”
“Ariel stayed at my house with my dog, Sadie, for 11 days while I was overseas and everything went perfectly! She was great with Sadie, sent picture updates and administered her medicine on time. It was great not to have to worry about Sadie while I was away and my house was tidy and clean when I got back! Thank you, Ariel!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for 25+ animals, so I’m calm, patient, and confident in situations most sitters aren’t. I don’t just ‘watch’ pets, I understand behavior, routines, and how to keep them safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I’m available for pet care in the evenings after 3 PM on weekdays, with flexible availability on weekends. I’m reliable, responsive, and able to accommodate consistent schedules or last-minute bookings when needed. I care for pets in their own home by keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm and familiar. I follow all feeding, cleaning, and medication instructions closely, maintain a clean space, and give each pet attention at their comfort level. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
“First time using Rover or any dog sitting service and we are very happy. Robert was great with our 3 dogs and respectful of our home. Will definitely use him again in the future.”
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats for friends and family throughout my entire adult life and love getting to know every pet's unique personality. My experience includes overnight house sitting, caring for multiple dogs at once, drop-in visits, feeding, walks, and plenty of playtime. Whether your pet needs a walking buddy, someone to keep them company during the day, or overnight care in the comfort of their own home, I'll treat them like they're my own. Spending time with animals never feels like a job to me - I'll probably enjoy spending time with your pets as much as they enjoy having me there! I'm currently in between jobs, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be widely available during the day, evenings, and for overnight care most days of the week. I'm happy to work around your pet's routine to make sure they receive the care they need while you're away. I'm happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home through drop-in visits or overnight stays. I always make it a priority to follow care instructions closely and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages throughout my visit if that's something you'd like. I genuinely love taking pictures of animals, so you can expect lots of updates and peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and in good hands!

About: Hi, I’m Jordyn. I am 25 years with an Bachelor of Science degree. I have a passion of caring for animals. I have 1 dog naned Leo, he is an American Staffordshire Pitbull. I’ve had him since 2020 when he was 3 months old. I have been dog sitting for 6 years now. I have experience working in a dog daycare for 3 years. My additional duties working in a dog daycare involved keeping the kennels clean of waste, dog fur, stray food and water, and other material that keep dogs from being comfortable away from their owners. I enjoy being able to play and have fun with dogs. While walking your dog I will make sure he/she stays dehydrated throughout the summer/winter. Feel free to contact me about any questions you have or concerns and times that I am available to care. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 814 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.
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 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 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.

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.
