“Sydney cared for our 2 dogs and 2 cats over the weekend. One of our dogs requires the use of a brace for walks and one of our cats required meds. Sydney did great with both! She provided updates with text and images, asked questions and was very responsive. My crew was happy and cared for, highly recommend!”
“Emma is amazing! I loved that she wanted to meet me and Lacey before she accepted a job. It was important to her that we were all on the same page. I was able to talk about Laceys needs and routine in person, which really made me feel at ease. When the weekend came for her to stay at our house I was completely comfortable leaving Lacey in her care. She gave me updates and pictures which was great. Thank you Emma!!!!”
“Jeanee is amazing! She took the best care of our pets, provided frequent updates, and was honestly a joy to communicate with! She will most definitely be my first choice for future pet sitting needs.”
“Paul was very tuned into Meli’s needs and spent a lot of time playing with her as she has an abundant amount of energy. He provided a lot of photos and videos, which I greatly appreciated and was very flexible with helping us out last minute. Thank you Paul!!”
“Gilian took great care of our dog Dave. He's an older dog and she took care to make sure he was comfortable with her, and with her dogs when he spent time in her home. She sent us detailed reports of how he did, what she did with him, and she included many photos of his day. This was the first time we left him with someone and we feel very confident that we could leave him with her again. We strongly recommend her!”
About: As I said in my headline, I work from home so it is easy for me to pack my stuff up and come care for your pets while you are away. If they will be staying with me they will get spoiled with attention all day. Our backyard is not fenced in but we have a line off our back door from when we had a dog for when nature calls. I am also freely able to let them out for potty breaks while working. My work schedule is very flexible to take your pets for walks or stop in. I currently watch my friends animals when they are away. One household is 2 dogs and 2 cats and the other is just a cat. One of the dogs I have experience administering medication with and dealing with a anxious dog. I also frequently watch a families Boxer when they have errands to run or want to go out for the evening.
“Grace is truly amazing!! I have a very nervous rescue dog and she warmed up to Grace so quickly. I never had to worry for a second about my girl while I was gone. She is the sweetest and your pets will be loved so well.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and currently care for four dogs and one cat of my own. Caring for multiple pets has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize each animal’s unique personality and needs. From energetic playtime and long walks to quiet cuddles and sticking to feeding routines, I’m comfortable providing attentive, loving care. Also, I am comfortable and experienced in handling medication for dogs as one of my dogs at home has diabetes. I understand that every pet is part of the family, and I’ll treat yours with the same kindness, respect, and affection that I give my own. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pet. I’ll do my best to accommodate your preferred days and times, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits both you and your furry friend. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for my own four dogs and one cat, so I’m familiar with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and lots of love. I’ll also respect your pet’s routine, follow any feeding or medication instructions carefully, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Isabella was wonderful with our pets and home! We needed someone quickly for a holiday weekend and she was able to do a meet and greet and take on the days on right away. We got lots of pictures and check-ins and all of our pets were well cared for. Would definitely book again!”
About: I've grown up surrounded by animals, including cats and dogs, and at one point, our household included five dogs simultaneously. Since the age of ten, I've been responsible for feeding my dogs and taking them outside. When I turned fourteen, I began walking my own dogs and even walked dogs for friends, ranging from 15 to 130 pounds. I am proficient in administering dog medications and knowledgeable about dog behaviors. I'm passionate about understanding each pet's preferences and personality, and I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with a fun and safe environment. I’m currently working a part-time job, while a full-time college student. I am free currently Saturday-Tuesday. Saturday and Sundays I will be available from 8am till 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Monday I will be available all day starting from 10am and Tuesdays all day after 3pm. I always prioritize your pets well-being and follow your specific instructions for their care. If needed, I can crate your dog and i’ll offer a safe and comfortable environment.
“I simply do not know what we would have done without Mary. She has faithfully and with care taken care of our Kikki cat while we were away for days at a time getting medical care for my husband. I do know she will do her best for you, and she will send pictures so you can rest easy that all will is well at home.Kikki was relaxed and calm each time we returned.”
About: i’ve worked with all different size dogs, cats from different age ranges who need medication and lounge, and some others who need training and active walks! i’m currently not working many hours at my job and thought this would be a great way to spend my extra time spending time with animals ! I cuddle and play with my animals! i feed my dog twice a day, and let her outside about 7-8 times a day, unless she walks around with me outside! i give her treats, wash her, clip her toe nails, clean her face, etc.
“Larissa was awesome! She was timely, professional and great with my dog. Larissa did a great job communicating and was willing to help last minute! Will definitely be asking Larissa to house sit again!”
“Courtney iwas absolutely fantastic with not just one dog, but THREE. She was available last minute, and was able to accommodate two extra dogs. She was invested in their safety, followed all instructions to a t, took the dogs on walks, and sent videos and photos to keep me updated. I will definitely be using Courtney again!”
“Heather was so sweet and understood our animals are our family. She sent pictures throughout her stay which really put my mind at ease. We will book Heather again for the future!!”
“Yana is an amazing sitter. She was very flexible when our schedule changed and communicated very clearly. I can’t say enough good things about our experience! Yana went above and beyond to make sure our dog felt comfortable and cared for.”
About: I have taken care of dogs between the ages of 1-14 [human years] for many family members and neighbors since I was a teen. I have had two labradors and two golden retrievers throughout my lifetime, and have taken care of breeds ranging from Corgi to Vizsla to German Shepherd. I am very family-oriented, and will take care of your pups like they are my own! I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to give lots of love and attention to your canine family members. I am a very active individual, and love to incorporate dogs into my routine to satisfy their energetic hearts and souls!

FAQs for House Sitting - Newburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Newburg 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 1,134 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Newburg. 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 Newburg 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 Newburg 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 Newburg 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newburg. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
