“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!”
“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!”
“Jeni took such incredible care of my elderly dog. So much so that when I returned home after 16 days, my dog was so mellow and content that she didn't freak out over seeing me (which usually happens!). Jeni sent regular pics and updates and made me feel like I could totally disconnect and not stress about my dog at all. And on top of her care of my dog, she was the perfect houseguest and left my place SPOTLESS. An absolute treat after being gone for so long, coming home to clean house :)”
“Chelsea did a fantastic job with our girls! She was communicative, reliable, and cared for them so well. Would recommend her to anyone needing some extra care for their pets!”
“Stephanie was a 10/10 find on Rover! I’ve used Rover 4-5 times in the last year and Stephanie was one of the best sitters for my girl. She was extremely communicative the entire process from initial message to departure. She followed my instructions to a T. She is a lovely, lovely woman and a pleasure to engage with overall. I recommend her to any and all pet owners seeking care!”
About: I took care of my former roommates’ chihuahua and standard poodle during the pandemic. I enjoyed exercising at the dog park, bonding time, and connections with pet owners. I’m truly excited to care for your furry friends as my 3 year old and I love being around dogs! Please note: For drop-ins I will walk, feed, and play with your dog(s). For cats, I will feed, change the litter and play with them. I will only board dogs and cats that are small child friendly and will consider house sitting dogs that may not be as friendly if there is a crate and a gate available to keep my child separated. I am currently available full time to care for your pet needs! If you would like to set up a meet and greet prior to committing, we can meet at a local park. I have an open and spacious yard and can easily crate your dog inside if needed. We will walk in the neighborhood at least every 3 hours and I will log all bathroom activity for drop ins.
“Olivia was absolutely amazing! She is extremely trustworthy and you can tell she cares a lot. She took great care of our animals while we were away for several days and made sure they got walks, play time, lots of love, and kept us updated with cute pictures. One of our dogs suffers from chronic ear allergies and has anxiety, so he can scratch himself sometimes but she made sure to apply his ear ointment and his ears were clear by the time we got home! We will definitely book her again, and I highly recommend her!”
“Hanna did a wonderful job, she was prompt, sent lots of pics, Ava connected very quickly with her, and kept me in the loop when she would be gone. made leaving way more comfortable.”
About: I'm a pet owner practically my whole life. I've been walking dogs since I was a teenager for my neighbors. I have experience with dogs weighing less than a few pounds and dogs weighing more than 100 pounds. And I have to say I love every single one of them! I’ve also grown up my whole life with cats and currently have 2 of my own that are my whole life. I work from home at the moment and can dedicate full time attention to your pets, as well as keeping my cats in a separate room if need be. I look foward to meeting both you and your furry baby. I currently work full time from home! This allows me full access and care to your pets at all time. I rarely leave the house to begin with and usually like to take the dogs if I can! I live in a gated community with a small fenced in patio, but I live in an area with lots of outdoor space and a dog park near by! For my cat parents, my apartment is very quiet and my own personal cats are friendly to other cats but can be put away in another room as needed!
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to watch our babies while we were away. She kept us updated daily with pictures and messages. They were happy, healthy, and loved. She treated them like they were her own. Our house was left exactly how we found it. She even washed the towels and sheets that she used and remade the bed for us. We would definitely recommend her and will keep her in mind for our next trip.”
“I booked Brianna for an in-house sitting for one week and she did fabulous! She sent daily photos and updates of my babies. My boys had a great week with her and will definitely want to book her services again. Thank you Brianna!”
“Morganne provided excellent care and communication as our pet sitter over Thanksgiving. I am hoping she is willing to sit. For us again. Morganne provided frequent updates and video and pics. It was fun to see my happy pups.”

Dominique was absolutely fantastic. When I first saw her profile, I initially thought the sheer number of positive reviews she had might be too good to be true - let me be the one to tell you: It is ALL true. She is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter. She took fantastic care of my dog & cat, took extra steps to ensure they were comfortable and happy during her stay, followed all care instructions, and sent lots of updates and pictures. We will definitely be reaching out again! Thank you so much, Dominique!
Kelcie was great! From the booking process all the way to the end. She was communicative and kept us updated. I loved receiving pictures of my kids (pets) during my vacation. I was able to enjoy it more knowing they were being taken care of. I will definitely be booking her again if I go on another trip.
Cassandra did an incredible job taking care of our animals while we were gone! Right before we left our dog got an infection and she tools great care of him and stayed ontop of his medicines. She also left our house cleaner than she found it and did an awesome job communicating and sending us pictures. We will definitely be booking her again in the future!
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!
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Newell is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $89 per night.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
