“Cannot recommend Dominique enough! She was available to stay with my dog and cat on relatively short notice as I had to travel for work. She was super attentive, sent tons of cute pictures with updates and took excellent care of my babies. Will definitely be using her again!”
“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.”
“Louise is amazing! She is the first sitter we used after adopting our very energetic puppy, and she did such an incredible job keeping her happy and safe while making sure our other dog and cat were as well. We’d absolutely trust her to watch our babies again.”
“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!”
“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 :)”
“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!”
“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!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and respect I give every pet and home. I’ve been pet sitting and house sitting for several years, caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and routines. I genuinely love animals and take their wellbeing seriously — I’m attentive to changes in behavior, energy, or appetite and always prioritize their comfort and safety. I’m especially mindful of maintaining each pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, medications, or quiet companionship. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets and understand the patience and gentleness they require. I also take pride in being reliable, communicative, and treating every pet as if they were my own. My goal is for you to feel complete peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for with kindness, consistency, and genuine love while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine. I work primarily remote with reliable WiFi, but also must visit the office for only a couple of hours a day, 3 days per week. Working remotely allows me to provide consistent attention, walks, feedings, and companionship throughout the day. I also have a flexible part-time job with shifts up to four hours (up to five hours total including travel time). However, my schedule is adjustable, and I’m usually able to move or release shifts when needed — especially for pets who require more frequent care. I’m mindful of how long pets are left alone and plan my schedule carefully to prioritize their comfort and routine. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can remain in their familiar, comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate preferences, and any household rules — to keep things consistent and stress-free. Safety is always a priority. I’m attentive during walks, mindful of secure doors and gates, and careful about food, treats, and household hazards. I also pay close attention to behavior changes and will communicate promptly if anything seems unusual. I treat every home with the utmost respect — keeping spaces clean, tidy, and secure while you’re away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and comfortable.
“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!”
“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!”
“Chelsea was AMAZING. This was our first experience with Rover and she set the bar high. She made us feel totally comfortable about the process and was incredibly communicative when it came to the dogs, their routine, etc. We came home to two very happy dogs and a clean house. The best of the best!!”
“Winnie was amazing! She is so kind and provided great communication and great care for our pup Milo. Came home to a happy pet and clean house. Would definitely book with Winnie again!”
“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!”
“Angie did an excellent job taking care of my boys! She sent many photos and updated me during her stay. She definitely gave them the care that they needed and loved.”
“Kayla is amazing!! We had another sitter booked for months and found out 9 days before leaving for our trip that she was no longer available - a panicked search for Rover for a new sitter and found Kayla! We arranged to meet before our trip so she could meet the dogs and it was perfect! She spent time getting to know them and their routines. My wife and I felt so at ease with Kayla! Kayla kept us posted all week about our dogs but also let us enjoy our trip as I knew she had it all handled! We came home to an immaculate home, well cared for dogs and truly the best experience!”
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newell
Dominique has been amazing! Very sweet and helpful. We recieve photos of the animals, the litter, feedings/ water refils, and overall updates on their well beings. One of our kitties is a little spicy and she's been very helpful in giving him his space and allowing him to slowly warm up to her (Which he has)💞 She even has worked with us in having to extend our trip due to a last minute flight cancelation. Which we really appreciated and are grateful for. Absolutely recommend.
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!
Kelcie did a wonderful job taking care of my dog and made me feel comfortable about leaving Saydee at home while we went on our trip. She was extremely communicative, sent lots of pictures and updates, and made Saydee feel secure and cared for. Our house was in perfect condition when we came back home. Kelcie was very responsible, kind, and competent and we would definitely use her again for dog care!
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!
Tatiana was wonderful with Chloe & Crosby! She stayed with them for an entire weekend. She also kept us updated while we were away. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She was reliable, caring and took great care of our pups. We will definately have her watch our dogs again in the future!
Kayla has stayed with my puppy several times now and she is always a pleasure to work with! She is very communicative, friendly, and takes great care of my pup - she asks the right questions and sends so many daily updates. She always leaves my house clean and taken care of. Highly recommend!
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!
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

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
