“Melissa is a great dog sitter! She is very reliable and we loved all the photo updates of our pups while she kept them knowing they were happy and well cared for! Would definitely recommend her to others!”
“Dominique is the ultimate professional! I felt such a relief knowing that she was caring for my home and my baby while I was away! Attention to detail and communication are spot on!”
“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.”
“Lia was amazing with my dog! He has a lot of anxiety and I was really worried about leaving him but Lia ensured he was well taken care of. She did an amazing job with him!”
“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.”
“Chelsea did an amazing job with Winnie. I know how excited Winnie can be when meeting new people and Chelsea handled it very well. Thank you! I will be booking again.”
“Samantha was absolutely amazing! She sent us pictures and updates regularly that helped us feel at ease knowing our pup was doing well. She handled an incident in our neighborhood while walking our pup, in which two off leash dogs ran up to her, so calmly and safely. So thankful for her diligence and care in that situation! She left our house in beautiful shape. We are looking forward to having her stay with our pup the next time we are out of town. She's incredible!”
“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!”
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.
“Kayla watched my 12 week old Shih Tzu. She did such an amazing job with her. I was nervous about leaving my puppy for a few days but Kayla quickly eased my concerns when we had the meet and greet. She also kept the house very clean. I will be booking Kayla again.”
“Link was awesome and took great care of our elderly Doberman, Dixie. He spent the week with her and kept us updated on her and sent pictures. We had a slight change in plans at the beginning of the stay and he was more than accommodating and flexible. We highly recommend Link and wouldn't hesitate having him take care of Dixie in the future.”
“Kimberly is AMAZING!! Our dog loved her immediately at the meet and greet and she snuggled with her all night while we were gone. She sent the cutest photos and videos too! We will definitely ask her to watch Ruth again!!! It’s the best to find someone you have complete peace of mind with and Kimberly is that!”
“This was our first time to use Rover and we couldn’t be more happy with the care our cat Opie received while we were away. Jeffrey was great! We will definitely use his services again. =)”
“Shannon is so thoughtful, detailed, and truly attentive. She not only takes the BEST care of our two dogs, but she also takes wonderful care of our home.”
“Karena was a wonderful pet sitter for us! Our usually skittish chihuahua mix even came to like sitting by jet and getting pets. Her calm caring energy really helps anxious dogs! Karena also sent pics and videos throughout our booking which was very reassuring. Overall, we highly recommend her!”
“Christine has been an absolute lifesaver! She's incredibly reliable, and my dog Toto loves her. I'm able to be at work without any worries knowing that Toto is in such good hands. Christine goes above and beyond every time, and I will definitely continue booking her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic dog sitter!”
“Kelcie was amazing! She send photos everyday, let me know when she was arriving and leaving, gave my two cats lots of attention and was in contact at all times! Would highly recommend and will be rebook with her myself!”

“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 :)”

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!

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.
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 🐶💓

FAQs for House Sitting - Newell
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.
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
- 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.
