“Jen was an outstanding cat sitter. She accepted my last minute request and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my cat in her care. My cat requires multiple medications throughout the day, and she handled everything flawlessly. She was kind, attentive, and even took the initiative to research my cat’s condition to better understand his needs. Coming home to a clean house and litter box was so nice after a long day of travel. I couldn’t have asked for better care—highly recommended!”
“Logan did an excellent job watching our 3 dogs and chickens. Our dogs aren’t the easiest to care for - they are a little high maintenance, but Logan did great with them!”
“Isabella was a great sitter-caretaker-friend-gentle leader for my dog and two cats. Conscientious communicator which is always appreciated. Thank you for the high quality care Isabella.”
“This was the first time that Brittney housesat for us. She took good care of our 2 dogs & our home over the 3 nights she housesat. The weather was awful with a snowstorm, bitter cold & windy - and she still did a terrific job. I’d definitely recommend Brittney. She’s kind, caring & responsible. We’d be happy to book her again. Thanks Brittney!”
“Eileen was fantastic! She was very attentive to our boys and kept in close contact with us the entire weekend. She also sent lots of photos. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“This was Sarah’s second stay with our dogs and it was another excellent experience. Her communication continued to be excellent as she provided check ins and photos of the dogs while we were away. House was neat and tidy upon our arrival. Dogs were happy and loved their stay with Sarah!”
“We did a meet and greet prior to leaving our girls. They loved Morgan immediately. When Morgan arrived today, the girls greeted her tails wagging '. We came home to two very happy pups. Thanks Morgan.”
“I felt extremely safe leaving my anxious pup with Thalia! I was updated during the day and was very reassured when I expressed concern about Morti’s behaviors. Definitely going to book with Thalia again!”

“Lori took care of our house and our 3 dogs and cat for 3 days and we couldn’t be happier with her. She was even able to take our pup to his daycare. Our cat loved her so much he brought her a dead mouse and she handled that very well. Sorry for that Lori!”
“Cristel is absolutely fantastic! Inga loves her and so do we ❤️❤️! She is SO loving to our dog and communicates very well as to how our girl is doing, even asking about our trip! I would give Cristel more stars, if I could!!”

About: Hi! I’m Brooke, and I’m a lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines—from relaxed couch companions to active walkers who love to explore. I’m dependable, communicative, and attentive to detail, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I pride myself on sending regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I intentionally structure my schedule to allow dedicated time for walks, drop-in visits, and consistent care without rushing. This flexibility allows me to be reliable, punctual, and fully present during each visit. I care for pets by following their established routines and prioritizing safety, comfort, and individual needs—whether I’m in your home for a drop-in visit or out on a walk. I carefully review all instructions related to feeding, walking routes, harnesses, training cues, and any special care needs. For drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get bathroom breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also check the home environment to ensure everything is secure and clean before I leave. For walks, I focus on safe leash handling, awareness of surroundings, and pacing the walk to your dog’s energy level and comfort. Communication is important to me, so I always provide updates after each visit or walk so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make every experience calm, consistent, and positive—for both you and your pet.

FAQs for House Sitting - Newfoundland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Newfoundland on Rover is $88.8 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 309 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Newfoundland. 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 Newfoundland 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 Newfoundland 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 Newfoundland 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.
