“Addy was amazing! She helped me out when I was in a bind and needed someone to house and dog sit for me with short notice. She saved the day!! She took amazing care of my dogs and my home! I’ll definitely be reaching out to her in the future to help care for my dogs!”
“Tatiana stayed with our dogs for a few days while we were out of town and she did an amazing job! We have an adult rescue with anxiety and a rambunctious puppy, and she handled them wonderfully. She communicated quickly, did all the puppy-proofing things to keep him from destroying things, and left the house in perfect shape. We'll definitely hire her again.”
“Very thankful we found Destiny!! Great communication, wonderful care, and obvious love for my two dogs!! Got more pictures and updates than I ever have before, which is amazing when you are missing your pets. Can’t wait to book again!”
“Louise is amazing! She is the first sitter we used after adopting our very energetic puppy, and she did such an incredible job keeping her happy and safe while making sure our other dog and cat were as well. We’d absolutely trust her to watch our babies again.”
“Rachel was so great! She was super communicative and sent great photo updates. We felt really comfortable leaving our two dogs in her care. She also took great care of our home! Definitely recommend and hope that she’ll be available for future trips!”
“Sage was wonderful with our pets. We booked her to house sit and stay with our two dogs and two cats. She was very responsive while we were away and kept us up to date on our pets and how they were doing. We definitely recommend her and will use her again.”
“Kayla was a wonderful choice for our two girls Paloma and Ivy. She is kind, thoughtful and detail oriented. She paid close attention to our instructions for our pups and taking care of our fish! We would not hesitate to have her back for another sit and you should not hesitate either!”
“Kristina was reliable, trustworthy, and stayed in touch regularly while we were across the country. She took great care of our senior dog and catered to all the little specificities that he is grown to expect in his old age! She also cared for our cat who spent most of her time hiding but came out for food and litter box which Kristina had ready for her. She also handled a power outage in the summer heat! She was a star and would definitely recommend her to my friends & family!”
“The second time I have asked Karena to look after my dog, and this time was difficult, as the house lost power for 18 hours during the middle of a heat wave, while the internet was effectively out for two full days. Karena was a great sport, extremely communicative, patient, and showed real care and concern for my dog under the circumstances. I really appreciated this and would absolutely have her back.”
“Kelcie was amazing! From the very first meet-and-greet, Pongo and Dela immediately felt comfortable around her, which gave me so much peace of mind. She kept me updated throughout our trip, always letting me know when she arrived and left the house, and she sent lots of pictures so I could see how happy they were. She spent time playing with them during her visits, and when we got home they looked happy, healthy, and well cared for. Because of her, I was able to truly enjoy my vacation without worrying about my dogs. She was kind, reliable, and thoughtful, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again for future trips. Highly recommend!”
About: I'm a pet-lover who has been hanging out with friends' amazing dogs and cats for years! I absolutely live for their unconditional love and total excitement when it's time to play. I'm super patient and totally get that new friends need a little time to sniff things out and feel comfortable, so we'll go at their pace! I'm genuinely thrilled to jump in and give your loved ones all the fun, care, and belly rubs they can handle while you're out of town! I currently work full-time, 8 hour shifts. Mostly during the day but occasional evening shift. I'm either at home, running errands or at work on weekends. I would walk your fur baby mornings, afternoon and evenings. Depending on their housing, we can play fetch or hangout in your back yard. Enjoy cuddles on the couch and crate if needed.
“Winnie was a wonderful dog sitter for our boy Lobito. She kept us well informed on how Lobito was doing during our time away. We found Winnie to be very conscientious, knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend Winnie for any pet sitting needs you may have.”
“Absolutely amazing experience — we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our three boys! She was incredibly attentive with Hanks medications, gave them tons of love and playtime, and handled each of their very different personalities and needs with ease. One of our dogs, Arnold, has some behavioral challenges, and she handled him like a true pro. Moose can also be pretty anxious, and she made him feel completely comfortable and secure. Knowing they were all happy and well cared for allowed us to actually relax while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures throughout the stay, took wonderful care of our house, and went above and beyond in every way. We came home to a sweet note and printed pictures of our three boys waiting for us — such a thoughtful touch and the perfect ending to an already fantastic experience. We would 100% trust her with our dogs and our home again and can’t recommend her enough!”
“Lara was very responsive when setting up the visit and agreed to meet ahead of time to go over some of my pups quirks. She kept me updated throughout her stay and Jambo seems very happy and calm when I returned home. I would definitely book Lara again.”
“Cassandra was so wonderful to my big dogs Hollis & Penny while I was out of town. She sent so many updates & pictures as well as asked many questions to make sure she could give them the best care possible. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life! My family has had 3 family dogs and I’ve fostered a couple myself. I’ve dog sat for friends and family, cat sat, and farm sat. I am pretty much available whenever to help look after your pets! I am in between jobs and will be moving abroad in a month, so I am free all of September. Please give me a day or two in advance though! Pet care for me includes walking, feeding, playtime, and completing any specific instructions needed that may be apart of their daily routine/ needed for regulation.
“Chelsea did a great job with my fur baby while I was out of town. She was communicative and respectful. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Natalia was so amazing watching Gunnar and staying at our house while we were out of town. She was so incredibly sweet and caring with him, and we could tell right away that he was in great hands. Gunnar absolutely loved her and was so happy and comfortable with her! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would 100% recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be reaching out to her again to watch Gunnar!”

Kristina was wonderful to have! She took such great care of our pets and our home while we were away, and we came home to everything in perfect shape. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure the pets were happy and comfortable. We really appreciated all of her updates and how easy she made everything. We would absolutely have Kristina stay again and highly recommend her! 🐾❤️
Sage stayed at my house for a week with my dog Leroy and took very good care of him!! She was very quick to communicate when I was being a nervous dog mom and sent pictures whenever I asked! Leroy seemed to settle right in with her and she let him snuggle in at night which is his favorite. Leroy and I appreciate Sage so much!
Andrea watched our three pups and two cats for four days and she was wonderful! She put us at ease right away and the dogs loved her. She was great about sending update texts and pictures. We came home to a tidy house and happy pets. She is so sweet and positive. We would definitely love to book with her again. Highly recommend!
Tatiana stayed with our dogs for a few days while we were out of town and she did an amazing job! We have an adult rescue with anxiety and a rambunctious puppy, and she handled them wonderfully.

If you don't book Bre for your fur babies, you are a FOOL (as long as you don't book her when we need her :) ) Bre was genuinely the most amazing Rover. I have no doubt in my mind that our girls did not miss us a single bit because Bre took such incredible care of them. She was so communicative, took our pup on the best adventures, was extremely respectful of our home, allowing us 100% peace of mind for our longest trip away from our girls. Bre is the best of the best, and my only regret is not finding her sooner!! Thank you Bre!!!!! <3
Sarah is amazing! She stayed at our home to watch our cat, Boba, over the Fourth of July weekend. She was super easy to coordinate with, communicative, and most of all, amazing with our cat. He was scared during the fireworks and she was gentle with him and made sure he had his space but knew he wasn’t alone. She sent us great pictures of him while we were gone and we came home to a happy and not-anxious cat, which was such an amazing feeling. Sarah also took amazing care of our home and we came home to a perfectly clean house. We are so so grateful to Sarah for taking such good care of Boba and our home, which allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying about him. We will definitely be using her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Newell
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Newell on Rover is $53.28 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 3,089 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Newell. 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 Newell 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 Newell 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 Newell 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 Newell. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
