“Claire is so sweet! She had very good communication both before and during our vacation which was important to us since this was her first stay with Ivy. She also sent us regular pictures that made being away easier - at least for us. We live out in the country so our dog has a WiFi collar in case she gets lost, but it also allows us to see her movement. We could tell that Ivy was getting good exercise daily and was being well cared for. We would definitely book Claire again!”
“Madison and Austin were fantastic. I had daily updates/pictures, no stress. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs, I'm so thankful and appreciative of the care they gave while we were gone.”
About: I've been looking after dogs, primarily small ones, for quite a long time now. Have had to feed and walk and watch over them plenty of times over the years for family members. Currently unemployed, so my schedule is quite free, which includes all reasonable hours of the day. Currently unable to watch over animals at my place of living. I personally care for my own cat and one of my mother's dogs on the daily, but the house itself isn't fit for me to watch over any additional animals.
“Aspen is such a great house sitter! Our pups were well taken care of and given all the overnight cuddles they needed. Thank you so much Aspen for keeping our dogs and our home safe.”
“Michelle provided daily updates and pictures of our dogs and kitties. We felt confident that Michelle was taking good care of our animals. The house was also exactly how we left it!”
“Susan did a great job on a long weekend stay with my 2 dogs. She was communicative, flexible thorough and sent regular updates. Most of all the pups were happy and calm when we arrived home. Will definitely hire again.”
About: I am an animal person who has been a pet parent to many cats, large dogs, and small birds. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and activity and socialization needs. From sassy corgis to excitable labradoodle puppies, I'm sure your fur baby and I will get along wonderfully. I also have experience caring for senior pets with specialized medication and dietary needs, and maintaining consistent, disciplined training regimens for puppies learning the ropes, including clicker and nonverbal command training. While I have only owned small birds myself, I am comfortable around larger birds and am confident preparing chop, monitoring fly time, supporting preening, and maintaining training sessions. I also have experience administering oral medication to small birds. The company I previously worked for recently downsized, so while I am on the job search I have a very flexible schedule to accommodate you and your furry (or feathered) friend's needs! The safety and well-being of your pet is my top priority. This means that in addition to providing photos and updates of your pet while you are away, I will be proactive in contacting you if anything concerning arises. If you have cats, this means I won't let them outside unless it is a secured space. I also require the information for both your primary and preferred emergency vet for all pets. (I have never needed to contact someone's vet while pet-sitting, but I prefer to always be prepared!)
“Jessica was so great! I felt very secure knowing she was at our house and with our dogs while we were away. The dogs adored her and were happy and healthy on our return. Communication was great, just the right frequency and very clear. I would definitely recommend Jessica.”
About: We honor the spaces of pets and allow them the time to become comfortable. We always assure they feel safe, and know we are a guest in their space or they are an honored guest in our family home. We love spending time with animals and have been fortunate to provide care to friends animals overnight and for daily care. My husband and I work full-time, on opposite schedules. We are available evenings during the week and weekends. During the week, we are more than happy to board pets as needed. I work from home, and he works only a few days a week. We have a fenced yard and we live in a dog lover neighborhood. We take our friends dogs on walks often, as needed. We have cared for family and friends dogs overnight and they all enjoyed their time at our home. We tend to spoil pets (based on parents discretion of course) while they are with us. Our home is their home, and we never want a pet to feel unsafe or unhappy while spending time with our family. Our family will care for them like our own.
About: I have been in the pet boarding and daycare industry for over 2 years now! And have had a lot of experience in home sitter! I can give oral medication, nail trims, and baths also have some experience in leash training and leash reactivity! I prefer mid day on Wednesday and evenings on Tuesdays and mornings on Monday, Thursday, Friday, Sundays! I can make Saturdays work but not 100% open that day! I take both my pups out multiple times a day in the back yard and play ball, and take on a walk once a day for about 30 mins to an hour! And work on some training 15 - 20 mins per day!
“Billi is absolutely the best! Our dogs adore him, and he goes above and beyond whether it's a drop by or long stay in our home. You will not find a more caring pet sitter.”
“Cara was amazing! She's trustworthy, super responsive, and great in a crisis! Our two dogs got sprayed by a skunk in the middle of the night on her last night sitting and she went above and beyond to help. She bathed the dogs, scrubbed the house to minimize the scent, washed blankets & towels, she even went out and bought a professional skunk deodorizer. When our flight was delayed, she came back before bedtime to check on our girls, let them out again, and made sure they had everything they needed until we made in home late. If I could give Cara more than 5 stars, I definitely would! I will for sure be booking with Cara again!”
About: I’ve intermittently watched dogs for family, no professional experience, but I have had dogs my whole life! Currently my dog is in Ohio with my mom while I’m on a nursing contract so I’m missing the doggy interactions! I’m new to dog sitting on rover so don’t be scared by the lack of reviews! I am personally familiar with Boston terriers, frenchies, pit bulls, dachshunds, golden retrievers, labs. But would love to give all the cuddles to any type of dog! I’m also open to watching cats! I grew up with them and especially love the fat cuddly ones😂 I work Monday-Wednesday 12 hour shifts out of town as an RN. Thursdays and Fridays are my most open & free days/nights! I can stop in and let your pups out, take them for walks, give them love, and leave them happy! Willing to watch overnights if known in advance. Starting in November I will be done with my nursing contract and will be available basically 24/7! I live in Kinline apartments in Beaverton so if you’re looking for a sitter here, I’m definitely your girl! But more than willing to go further depending on people’s needs!
“Johnna was a great dog/house sitter! She was able to watch my dog, Rocco, on very short notice and still came to meet with both of us before watching him. She sent me frequent pictures of Rocco and other updates while watching him and left my home as clean as when I left! I will be booking again :)”
“Eric was great with our old girl Suzy. He took her out for numerous walks and kept her company while we were away. He kept the house neat and clean, and communicated well with lots of pictures. We were very happy with him as our dog/house sitter.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Newberg is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newberg
Selena was our first sitter booked through rover and I was a little apprehensive about using the app. Once she came over to meet my nerves settled as she seemed very confident and capable. We were out of the country on an opposite time zone so we would not be readily available if there were any issues or questions, but everything ended up great! Selena sent us updates and photos the entire time as well. I loved the extra touches of having the bedding taken care of so I didn’t have to worry about that upon my return. Will definitely use Selena again!
Rebecca was a wonderful sitter for our sometimes challenging Malinois. We cannot trust just anyone with our girl and Rebecca demonstrated skills in reading and respecting dog language which is a necessity. Great communication and handled all issues appropriately. Trustworthy and won our dog over, so we definitely recommend Rebecca and will hire her again! She also left the house super clean which is really appreciated after returning home from a long trip!
Brianna was amazing with our anxious dog! I have never left my rescue dog with anyone outside of friends or family due to his skittish nature and separation anxiety. So when we needed a pet sitter last minute I was nervous but Brianna completely put us at ease. My dog took to her right away, it was a miracle! She made sure to update regularly. I would highly recommend Brianna and I am sure we will book again in the future!
Chloe has been watching our pups for YEARS now and we love her so much! She keeps the dogs fed and walked and sends so many pictures of our babies! Every time we come home the house is clean and organized like she was never here! Our dogs love her so much and we wouldn't want anyone else watching them! She'd be the best for any pet!

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 Newberg 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 Newberg 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 Newberg 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.
