“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.”
“Tabitha was kind, caring, and loving of our pets! She was very attentive to their personalities and sent us lots of photos, which we always appreciate when away from home. Would 100% recommend Tabitha to anyone!”
“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.”
“As always Sue was amazing with all of my animals and I do believe my house may have been cleaner than when I left. She sends so many great photos and I feel like our animals are in great hands and I never have to worry about them. Makes me feel just a little less guilty when we plan trips to locations that are not pet friendly. I love knowing that they are at home where they are more comfortable and that Sue is there keeping them happy with lots of lap time snuggles.”
“Wow! Alex was wonderful. Communicative, respectful, left our house nest and tidy and took such good care of our pets. I hope we get to work with her again and feel blessed to have found her.”
“I had an excellent experience with Xanthia! She took care of Daniel twice a day and was incredibly reliable and attentive. Every time she visited, she sent detailed updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Daniel looked happy and relaxed in every photo, and it was clear he was in great hands. I truly appreciated her care, communication, and kindness.”
“Five stars doesn’t feel like enough for Mackenzie! We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of our dogs while we were away. We have a full house with four dogs, each with their own personalities, quirks, routines, and needs, and she picked up on who they were SO quickly. She spent tons of time actually engaging with them—playing outside, throwing their balls, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. We came home to four very happy, very well-cared-for, and appropriately worn-out dogs, which is about the best review they could give. 😂 Her communication was also fantastic. She sent us tons of pictures and videos throughout our trip, and it was incredibly reassuring to be able to see that everyone was happy and comfortable. I especially loved how quickly she started noticing and sharing the little things that make each of our dogs them. We felt completely at ease having Mackenzie in our home and caring for our crew, and we would absolutely trust her with them again. We’re so grateful we found her and would recommend her without hesitation!”
“Alex was amazing! Very accommodating, attentive, and professional. We got regular updates, and our house had never been cleaner. Would absolutely book again and recommend to anyone.”
About: I have grown up having and taking care of dogs my whole life, as well as looking after friends' dogs while they are away. I truly believe that a pet is apart of the family and should be treated as such. When sitting dogs I am willing to take extra time and put in the effort to make sure they are fed, exercised, hydrated, and loved as they would be with their family. I am a student-athlete going to school at George Fox University. I have a structured schedule that allows me to know exactly when I am available each day. I am free most afternoons for pet/house sitting overnight, as well as throughout the day for drop in visits when needed. I see pet sitting as an opportunity rather than a task, being excited to look after a part of your family. I am able to take dogs on long walks and keep up with high-energy play time, but I am just as happy providing a calm environment for a more relaxed dog. I am extremely respectful of your space and privacy. I follow all house rules regarding 'off-limits' furniture, feeding schedules, and security protocols; ensuring all doors and gates are double-checked and locked after every visit. Your pet and home's safety, as well as your peace of mind, are my top priorities. I keep dogs on a short, secure leash during walks and avoid high-traffic areas.
“Jennifer is AMAZING! I never want to have anyone else watch my dog. She made our dog feel relaxed and loved in our home. He was fed, walked and loved for a week. Jennifer also went out of her way to keep our home clean and communicate with us whenever needed. I cannot say anything but wonderful things about Jennifer and her stay with our dog at our home.”
“Jordan is literally amazing! She did so well with our fur babies! They loved her. Came home to a spotless house happy dogs and I couldn’t have been more pleased! Will definitely be using her again!”
“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’m a lifelong dog lover and currently have three dogs of my own—a 10-year-old Husky, a 4-year-old Malamute, and a 5-year-old Golden Retriever. Caring for three large dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs has given me plenty of hands-on experience with walking, exercise, feeding, routines, and lots of attention. I’m especially comfortable handling larger, energetic breeds and understand that every dog has their own personality and pace. Whether your dog loves a long walk or just needs some fresh air and companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I’m available throughout the week for walks and drop-in visits, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Since I care for three dogs of my own every day, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I’m also happy to work with your dog’s normal schedule whenever possible. I’m a stay-at-home dad, proud dog dad to three wonderful dogs, and a lifelong animal lover! My Husky, Malamute, and Golden Retriever are a huge part of my family, and caring for them has taught me just how much love, patience, and attention every dog deserves. Being a stay-at-home dad has given me the opportunity to spend more time doing what I love, and I’m excited to make Rover a part of my everyday life. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs, getting outside for walks, and making sure every pup feels happy, comfortable, and cared for. With three large dogs of my own, I’m very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, especially strong, energetic breeds. I also understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ll always take the time to get to know your dog, follow your instructions, and make their safety and comfort my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is being treated with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member!
“Melanie was the perfect pet sitter for us. She sent daily photos and comments which was very reassuring. I have never left my dog with someone who was not a family member so I was a bit nervous but everything worked out well. She came and met my dog before our trip and went over his daily routine. My dog was well taken care of and I will definitely use her services again.”
“Kyle was great!! I really appreciated his fast response and ability to meet me and the dogs before watching them. He was great with the dogs and understood their personalities quickly, which was important to me. The dogs seemed very well cared for and happy when I returned home, and I really appreciated the photos and updates from him! He was proactive, thoughtful, and I look forward to having him back! I highly recommend him!”

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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Newberg is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $117 per night.

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.
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 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.
