“Dominique was an outstanding sitter for my pup Ranna! Not only is she highly experienced with sitting dogs that have very specific personalities and needs, she’s extremely responsive and always provides me with timely updates and cute pictures of Ranna while I was away. I’m thrilled to have a great sitter to lean on when I need someone to watch my pup.”
“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!”
“Arabella took excellent care of our pets. She was very loving and prompt. She shared pix so we didn't miss our pets too badly. I will definitely hire her again!”
“Destiny was great with our two pups! We went on vacation and she stayed with them at our home. She was always super responsive, gave frequent updates and made sure to get in contact with me if anything happened outside the norm. I can’t recommend her enough! It was also very comforting to have this type of support as it was our first time away from our 6 month old puppy. Have already booked her for another sit :)”
“Lindsey was wonderful! I have a very old pup and she was super patient and took great care of her along with my other pup. She was kind and you can tell she loves animals. She was even kind enough to run back over last minute when we were delayed coming back from our trip. She is great with communications and sent us lots of cute pictures. Our pups looked like they were have a great time with her. Would highly recommend!!!”
“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!”
“Caroline took great care of our dogs! She spent quality time with them and provided thorough updates. She even put in extra effort to differentiate the walks for our senior dog and younger, more energetic dog. We were so impressed she went the extra mile for them!”
About: I personally grew up with two cats, but I've dog sat for friends many times! I'll make sure your furry friends are well fed, watered, and happy 😊 I have a unique schedule, I'm busy from 7-10pm most nights, and flexible during the day; but i'll do my best to communicate to make sure it all works out! I am more than happy to talk about what areas pets should or should not be around; or other things that are off limits, and which commands or phrases can be used.
About: My main expertise over the years has been with big dogs and cats. I once sitted 4 cats and 1 Japanese Akita all at once. I work part-time at a hotel with the valet team so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! There will be many dog walks included! I have a two bedroom, two bath where my 3 cats roam freely. They’re on a great routine when it comes to eating and bed time. All 3 of them enjoy the company of dogs and/or other cats but if pets are needed to stay at my home, my cats can stay in their rooms. Whatever the client feels comfortable with.
“Chrissonna is so amazing with our animals! Our crew can be a handful, but I always feel confident and comfortable leaving them all with her when we go away!”
About: I have experience dog sitting and caring for dogs in their own homes. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping up with their daily routines. I love spending time with dogs and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away! I’m currently in school so my schedule is very flexible to check on your pets. Just let me know what schedule you prefer and we can work it out. I provide pet care in the comfort of your own home so your pets can stick to their normal routines and stay in a familiar environment. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and anything else your pets may need. I also make sure to keep your home tidy and send updates and pictures while you’re away!
About: I have owned dogs since I was very young. I always love meeting new animals and seeing what makes them their own unique individual self! I am a full time college student at UNC Charlotte. I have a set schedule and am able to provide advanced notices on schedule changes if they occur. I’m a very attentive and alert person who is dedicated to making sure your fur babies are taken care of, noticed and given the proper attention that acquire or simply just want as all animals do!
About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats ranging from kittens and puppies to elders. I have experience in providing medicine, exercise and affection. I go to school at Central Piedmont Community College. I have classes on Monday and Wednesday from 9 am to 12 pm, other than that I am pretty flexible. I'm happy to play with your energetic puppy or laze around with your sleepy elderly pet. Whatever your pet needs, I'm there to help them out. The home will look as if no one was ever there. The common areas and more will be clean and taken care of.
“Madison was fantastic! She sent updates and picture everyday. I was able to have peace of mind while being away because I knew my animals were being loved and taken well care of! Will absolutely be rebooking with her!!”
About: Hi! My experience with animals goes beyond just being a pet owner. I have previously completed a veterinary clinic internship, where I gained hands-on experience with animal handling and maintaining a safe environment for animals. I am also a cat owner myself, so I understand the importance of finding someone that you can trust with your pets while you’re away. I would love to give your pets the same patience and attention I’d want someone to give to my own furry companions. I am currently a full-time student with an open and flexible schedule. I can commit to taking animals out every 2-4 hours and can put time into ensuring all animals are well taken care of regarding food, water and attention! As an owner of 3 cats, I prioritize a strict feeding schedule and give all 3 plenty of attention and allow them to exert energy throughout the day. I check to make sure litter boxes are clean and are available for use throughout the week and spend quality time with each to ensure they feel loved.
“Chantara did an outstanding job taking care of our dog Bino while we were away. She provided frequent updates and photos, which kept us reassured and informed. We were particularly impressed with how she reinforced Bino’s training commands, ensuring he maintained his routine and good behavior. Her dedication and attention to detail gave us complete peace of mind. We highly recommend Chantara for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newell
Jamie was WONDERFUL! She jumped right in to help us the night before we were set to leave on a trip when another pet sitter cancelled at the last minute. She initiated a meeting right away to meet our dog and learn about her routine and specific needs. In one meeting I knew our dog would be in good hands. She arrived at the agreed upon time, took EXCELLENT care of our toy poodle, checked in to give us updates and pictures, and even took our garbage out when she saw the other cans on the street were out! Talk about above and beyond! Jamie asked thoughtful questions to ensure the safety of our beloved pup. We would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, responsible pet sitter. We look forward to working with her again in the future.
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Lilyana came in and right away with short notice exceeded expectations. She was very attention to detail on what we needed and took the extra time to make sure our Daisy was well taken care of. We will be booking her for any future appointments needed. If you are looking for the best look no further. Feel confident that she will go above and beyond what is expected. Thank you again for being genuine and caring for our baby.
Addy is amazing!! My velcro dogs loved her! I came home from my trip and they were happy pups. Got plenty of pictures and updates. House was very clean, she’s great. Can’t thank her enough for making the process so easy and flexible with it being such short notice.
This was the second time Sarah stayed with our cat, and again, she was wonderful! She takes such good care of him and we love that we can enjoy our vacation without worrying about him because he’s in such good hands. He is always happy to see us when we get back but we can tell he was ok while we were gone. Thank you, Sarah!
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! 🐾❤️
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Newell is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $89 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newell. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
