“Dominique was absolutely amazing. Our initial booking had to be rescheduled due to a storm, and she was incredibly accommodating and understanding. I had a work trip that required me to leave very early in the morning, so I left her a key to let herself in. Unfortunately, my dog was feeling very anxious and scared, but Dominique handled the situation with so much patience, professionalism, and kindness. She truly took the time to help him feel comfortable and safe, and by the end of their time together they were the best of friends. My trip started off stressful—as it always is when your dog is stressed—but thanks to Dominique, I quickly felt calm and reassured knowing my dog was in such caring, capable hands. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“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.”
“Breana did a great job house sitting for our animals. The animals were well taken care of and she left our house neater than she found it. I also really appreciated the daily updates and photos she sent.”
“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!”
“By far this was the best experience I have ever had with a pet sitter. So trustworthy, reliable, on time. So professional ! We received lots of pics with daily updates. Will definitely use Alyssia again the next time we need a pet 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!”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was 14 and I’ve loved it ever since! I can’t wait to be your fur babies new trustworthy companion! I’m currently a student and working part time so I’ll make as much free time as needed for your fur babies but please feel free to reach out for my weekly availability! I live in an apartment with my 2 year old dog she’s very shy but friendly and we have a fenced dog park and we live right next to the Mallard Creek greenway which is perfect for going on nature walks!
“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!”
“Awesome experience - will definitely look to book with her again next time we're out of town. We received great pics while we were away. It was nice seeing our dogs snuggling up with her looking comfortable and relaxed. One of our pups was having some allergy issues while we were away. We received pics pretty quickly when she started looking a little rashy and asking us to confirm how we wanted her to handle it (as we had discussed before the trip). She reacted fast and our dog was happy and healthy by the time we got home with no rash or redness at all. We're very happy to recommend her. Our dogs and our home were in great hands while we were away.”

“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 :)”

About: Lifelong pet owner and animal lover with 2 years of experience as pet sitter. Provide safe, nurturing care for dogs and cats. Friendly and trustworthy, putting pets and their people at ease with reliable, conscientious care. Pet care fits into my daily life in a really natural way. I recently moved from California to North Carolina, and as I settle into this new chapter, I’ve been looking for a way to earn extra income doing something I actually enjoy. I work a full-time 8–5 job Monday through Friday, but I still have time in the mornings, evenings, and weekends and honestly, what better way to spend that time than hanging out with furry friends? In my client's home, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care. I create a comfortable and safe environment, ensuring they have access to food, water, and any necessary medications. Regular exercise and playtime are essential, whether it's a leisurely walk around the neighborhood or a fun game of fetch in the backyard. I also maintain open communication with the pet owners to address any specific needs or preferences their pets may have. Additionally, I provide lots of love and attention, treating each pet as if they were my own, to ensure they feel secure and content while in my care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newell
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 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 🐶💓
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!
Finn was absolutely amazing. My poor pup got sick and Finn was so attentive and ended up taking them to the vet for me. He got a shot and some nausea medicine which Finn administered and kept me updated the entire time. My rescue pup is very reactive and loved Finn from the second they met. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely use again

FAQs for House Sitting - Newell
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Newell on Rover is $52.17 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 3,143 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.

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.
