“This is the second time we've had Erica stay with our 3 cats while we've been away. Once again she did a fabulous job caring for them. She sent several pictures throughout the stay which helped us know that they were thriving and comfortable in her care. Upon departure, she left our house clean and tidy. Thank you Erica! We will definitely book you again.”
About: I've been a lifelong animal lover and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets. I've been the primary caregiver for my dog for 8 years and my cat for 3 years, and I've also cared for birds, hamsters, and fish. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of reliable, attentive care and will treat your pets like my own. I work full time M-T and would be willing to do a later evening drop in, but have my Friday afternoons and weekends available any time! Your pet's safety is my top priority. As a pet owner, I understand that every animal has unique behaviors and needs. Having cared for dogs with a tendency to bolt, I am especially mindful around doors, gates, and leashes and always take extra precautions to prevent escapes. I will carefully follow your pet's routine, respect your home's rules, and provide a calm, secure environment while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind.
“Mickayla took wonderful care of our kitties and home while we were gone for an extended period of time. She sent lots of pics and updates. Already booked her for our next trip! 10/10”
“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.”
“Fiona was great. She had multiple animals to look after as well as the house and it all went perfect. She communicated well and sent pictures. We definitely plan on using her our next trip.”
“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.”
“Malissa was a good communicator and sent us pictures of our dog each day, which we so appreciated. Thank you Malissa for taking such good care of Ollie and our house. We will see you again in May!”
“Emily looked after our 2 dogs and cat for a long weekend in our home. She updated me daily with pictures and let me know about any concerns she had with our one dog who has arthritis. We returned home to happy, healthy pets and a clean home. I recommend Emily to sit your pets”
“Selena took great care of our dogs!! She was great at communicating, the dogs were very happy and the house was tidy when we got back :) we would definitely have Selena watch our dogs again”
“Amani is THE best. We’ve had her watch our dog Hero many many times and we can always count on her to take amazing care of him and our house. Hero loves her and all the miles of walking they clock every time she stays with him. Can’t recommend her enough.”
“Sparkle was amazing! She sent lots of pictures and let me know things were going well. When I came home my house was clean and sheets were washed and it felt great to come home just as I left the house. I would trust her with my dog and house again. Thanks Sparkle.”
“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.”
“Brianna was AMAZING!! She is was super easy to communicate with and my SUPER anxious dog warmed up to her so fast, I was shocked. She also was able to get her to eat which is a struggle daily. She was able to give medications as well. I'll use her anytime we travel!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life: dogs, cats, lizards, fish, etc. Sadly, I found out as an adult that I am allergic to cats. It just means I get to love on dogs even more! I am a suburban single gal who works full time and is looking for a joyful way to spend my off hours! I’m hoping taking care of your loved one(s) brings us both the comfort and peace it can! I am more than happy to care for your animals in their own home to make sure it is an easy process for all. I can provide feedings and walks/exercise and of course, a lot of love! Happy to stay at your house overnight as well.

“Zach house sat while I was away and took very good care of my dogs. I got updates and pictures . Very respectful and thoughtful with his services. I highly recommend him for your dog care needs.”
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newberg
Claire was a wonderful pal to our 3 dogs! They were so chill when we returned home that I’m not Ute they missed us at all. Ranging in age from 2-14 years old, they each have their little quirks, Claire handled them all with ease. Our house was as clean and tidy as it was the day we left. We highly recommend her!
Brianna was amazing with my young American bully. She took the time during our meet and greet to really understand our set up and what are pup needed to be comfortable during the Fourth of July weekend. She checked in multiple times and asked all the right questions. I would definitely use her again and knew that my house and my sweet dog were in great hands.
Ella was so good to our three dogs All three needed meds and are older dogs Also Ella was so flexible as our daughter and family lost power and needed to stay in our house She had to wait a few days to come start She took the pups on a walk and made the house all clean Thank you Ella She even left a sweet paw print Christmas card and cookies for us
Our family of 3 Aussies and 1 indoor kitty did great with Tatiana! We so appreciated how conscientious she was with their care and the care of our home! Everything was nice and clean as we left it and most importantly our fur babies were secure, happy and healthy upon our return!

FAQs for House Sitting - Newberg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Newberg on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,270 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Newberg. 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 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 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.
