“Chelsea was an absolute lifesaver in what turned out to be a pretty stressful situation. I left for a 5-day trip and on day 2, part of my house flooded (where she was staying with my dogs and cat). For the rest of the week I had workers coming in and out to dry and demo the space, and was more than willing to leave my trip early, but she insisted she had it handled and really did. She took the dogs on longer walks when the workers were there and a friend of mine was supervising them, and it truly seemed that the pups were taking all the upheaval in stride. They even continued to eat and take their meds, which I can only attribute Chelsea keeping them comfy and happy. I will definitely be inviting her back to sit once the house is in one piece again! Thank you so much Chelsea!”
“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.”
“My dogs were well taken care of and happy when I returned home. Lia followed all instructions and kept me updated throughout the stay. I felt at ease knowing they were in such good hands and would definitely book again.”
“This is either the 3rd or 4th time Jeffery has stayed with our critters in our home. He is just SO reliable, respectful, professional, and we have no worries when we're away. Our dogs and cat love his calm nature and that's exactly what our reactive boy needs. I hope we can continue to have Jeffery sit for us for years to come! I am just so grateful to have someone we can trust in our home with our kiddos.”
“Camryn was amazing. She checked in regularly & sent photos of my 3 pups. I could tell they were having a blast with her. They are all senior gals, the oldest being 17. When I got home, they were all so happy, everything was clean (including them! Which is hard when you're battling incontinence and bladder issues). Camryn is top notch and my gals cannot wait for me to go out of town again!!!”
“Teagan did a great job watching Niko and left my apartment immaculate. Very kind and provided regular updates for Niko which put my mind at ease and let me enjoy my trip to the fullest. Definitely found a long term dog sitter!”
“Heather watched my condo and senior pup, Rusty, overnight for 4 days. Rusty is 13, has a heart murmur, is blind in one eye and has very limited sight out of the other eye. A few days before our planned trip my Rusty’s heart murmur increased to a grade 5 and he went on heart medication twice per day. Heather watched over him and kept a very detailed care diary for me since it was his first week on the medication. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos throughout their time together. Heather really put me at ease and gave me peace of mind leaving Rusty for a few days after some medical changes. Rusty really seemed at ease with her. I cannot sing her praises enough. I will definitely book with her again.”
“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: Hi! I'm Kallie, and caring for animals has been one of the greatest joys of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home full of dogs, and for the past 15 years I've been caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. From tiny fish to giant English Mastiffs, I've loved every opportunity to care for someone's beloved companion. No pet is too big, too small, or too unique! If you ask my family, they'll tell you my sister's Golden Retriever is the joy of my life. I FaceTime him almost every day (sometimes multiple times a day!) so he can see his auntie. That's probably the best way to describe how much I love animals, they're truly family to me. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet behind, whether it's for a weekend or a longer trip. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind by caring for your furry family member with the same love, patience, attention, and affection I would give my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless games of fetch, belly rubs on the couch, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your furry best friend! I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be available when you and your pet need me most. Whether you're looking for a quick walk to help your pup burn off some energy, a drop-in visit, or overnight care while you're away, I'm happy to help. No matter the length of the visit, you can have peace of mind knowing your pet will be cared for with patience, love, and lots of attention. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home until you're back together. I will make sure to care for your pet inside your home with the utmost respect and care and treat your space well. Whatever rules and boundaries you have with your pet will be the same rules and boundaries that I will set when I am in their care.
“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!”
“We were fortunate to have Shannon care for our dogs and cats. He care was excellent and she went above and beyond with the care needed for our dog that was recovering from surgery. She provided that same attention and care to both dogs and our three cats.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was around 7 years old. I’ve owned cats, dogs, hamsters a rabbit and a snake! I’ve always had a strong passion for animals which eventually led me to becoming vegan almost 7 years ago! I’ve pet sit and gone on walks for family and friends over the years. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! This is my full time job and I’m currently trying to build up clientele so if you don’t see a time available that you need, please reach out so we can work something out. I am not able to board at my home due to my own animals but I am able to provide overnight services at your home.
“My puppies loved having Victoria pet sit! She kept us updated with lots of photos through out our trip, and she worked on training with our puppy. Overall great experience having Victoria pet sit for us!”
“We are a first time Rover family and are happy yo say Sam was amazing with our two french bulldogs! She made us feel at ease by sending lots of photos and videos during our time away. She also went the extra mile with taking care of our home. We look forward to working with her again soon! Thank you, Sam! :)”
“Yvonne was able to help us again and watch our two fur babies for a quick overnight trip, and it was great! She was up-front about her schedule so there would be no surprises, and she let us know how things were going on the day we came home and kept us up to date on when she was leaving. Our pup was so excited to see her when she showed up, and she didn't have any issues staying behind and watching us leave as she was excited to have a new friend in the house. Thanks again, Yvonne, we appreciate your help and are glad to have built a relationship!”

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.
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.

Highly recommend!
Brianna was awesome - she stayed at our home for a few days with our shy little pup. Brianna was very respectful of our home, communicated throughout the days with updates on our dog, & had a lot of patience with our pup who is extremely shy and skittish. We would recommend Brianna to anyone needing a sitter!
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!
Katie is absolutely wonderful! She is the first non-family member that we’ve had over to watch our 2-year old Boxer while we went out-of-town for a long weekend. We usually bring our dog everywhere with us, but there are those rare times when it just can’t happen, and Katie was a perfect fit for us. She has experience with larger breeds with lots of energy and we felt confident that our dog would be well-cared for. He loved her right away! She is warm, friendly, and brings a calm yet assured energy. We had great communication and she was quick to respond to any questions. It was comforting NOT having to worry about our pup while we were gone! We will definitely ask her to come back the next time we’re away.
Brad was excellent! He sent photos everyday. The house looks the same as we left it, maybe even better. He handled giving my dog oral medications well. He also helped coordinate a dog door installation which was unexpected. I would highly recommend Brad for your house sitting needs as the dogs were well cared for and safe.
We LOOOOVE Kalyn!!!! She was one of the best pet sitters we have ever had. She was loving and caring towards our pets and treated them like her own. she gave us consistent updates throughout the week and they always were so happy. She took wonderful care of our home as well. the pets and I can’t wait to have her back in the future 🐶💓

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Newell on Rover is $50.88 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 3,107 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.

- 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.
