“My pup is a senior and we do not leave her often so it was great to know Morgan was there with her at night. She took great care of our girl and we will absolutely use her again!”
“Livvi was wonderful! This is the first time we left our pups with someone other than family and Livvi was absolutely amazing. Sent us pictures and updates daily, our dogs are happy and had a great time. Highly recommend!! Thank you!”
“Candice is great with our dog, for the past 2 years and now here on Rover. Maple gets so excited to see her like her long lost Bestie. She, spends time quality time outside playing with her, loving on her, hanging out & even waters my garden if we are gone for an extended time.”
About: Animals and animal care has always been my passion, I’m currently working towards getting my bachelors degree in animal science and zoology! I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals and I’ve done a lot of rescue and rehoming! I love animals, from cats to fish, lizards and birds. I’m crazy about all of them. I’ve cared for babies and elderly of a lot of different species and I pride myself in always doing my best in taking care of all their needs. Ive got quite a few of my own babies at the moment but they’re all very friendly and adjust easily to new animals. I don’t currently work because I’m working towards getting my bachelors degree in animal science/zoology, so I’m home 24/7 to care for my own pets and school, I have two crate trained dogs, five cats, two frogs, two birds, fish, and a hamster, so I’m basically always cleaning and playing or training one or the other! While I live in an apartment, we have multiple fenced dog parks and ample walking area away from the roads for walkies with the dogs, my apartment is pretty spacious especially in the living room and animals are allowed around the whole apartment. If I were to watch your babies at your residence I would stick strictly to the rules you set for me and never overstep your boundaries or rules.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, my friends trusted me to take care of their animals when they were going on trips. Recently I have started to train my own animals Currently I am looking for a job but pet care is in my everyday life, I have three dogs and two cats that I take care of I have a fenced-in yard that my dog love to play in, my cats are indoor-outdoor cats so they don’t go very far but I am able to take care of your fur baby whichever way you need me to
“This is the 2nd time we have had Emily watch our pets while we were away, and both of our animals remembered who she was and were so happy to see her again! She also did an amazing job keeping watch on our home while we were away. We love having her over and will definitely be booking for all of our future trips! 😊👍”
“Mary was so sweet and great with our Dane. She took good care of her. She cares about your animals and we trusted her with our baby. Will definitely go with her again!”
“Rebecca watched our two adult greyhounds and 4.5 month old puppy over the Thanksgiving holiday for 4 nights. She did an awesome job, feeding and letting them out at appropriate times. We are so thankful to have had one less worry! She kept the house tidy and was great about communication. Thanks so much, Rebecca!”
“Julie was awesome!! She communicated with me all throughout the weekend and sent lots of pictures. The house was clean and how I left it when I got back. My dog seemed content and relaxed when I arrived home!”
“When you're away you want your pet to be taken care of how you would care for them, and Velma is as close to that as I can get! She is very communicative, letting me know when she arrives, and sends daily updates on how the pups did. I definitely will hire her again.”
“Our Family had a fairly long trip and did not want to put our dogs in a different location. Looking on Rover we found Phillip who responded right away. Our trip was through Thanksgiving and that was not a problem for him. He came over to meet our two dogs and they took to him right away. Received updates from him even though for us maybe a little more communication would have been nice but the over-all experience was really good. When we returned back from our trip and he dropped off our house key the dogs were so very excited to see him. Normally when we are gone and come back our dogs tend to not be themselves for a while. We got right back into things with them like we never left. Thanks for taking such good care of our girls.”
About: I truly enjoy dog walking and dog sitting. Currently, I am unable to have a dog and dog walking/sitting brings me so much joy. I especially like taking dogs out for daily walks/jogs/hikes. I'm good with their familiar walks and also exploring new places if they are an adventurous pup! I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds and making new doggie friends. I'd love to meet your baby - send me a message! I currently work from home most days and can be available for daytime check-ins. I am also available most mornings and evenings for walks and check-ins as well. Weekends are very flexible as well. When caring for your pets in your home, I will make sure it is calm and comfortable for your pets. I appreciate knowing any rules and routines that best suit your pet so that I can follow them and make it easier on you when you return home.
“I can't recommend Jessalyn enough! She was so amazing with my three kitties, especially my boy kitty who can be more shy and my older cat who needs a special diet for her kidney disease. My babies were very well cared for while I was gone!!”
“Suzanne kept me in the know with my puppy daily and quick to respond. She and my pup got along very well and was well taken care of as well as the house itself. I recommend Suzanne to housesit for your furry friend! Thanks Suzanne ❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my entire life and have always loved being around animals. My family has trusted me to care for their pets for weeks at a time, so I have plenty of experience with feeding, walking, playing with, and giving pets the attention they need. I also have a cat named Rick, who I absolutely love and have had for four years! :) I have experience caring for all kinds of cats and dogs, including Pit Bulls, Whippets, Dachshunds, and more. I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I always make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I am currently in school and working part time in Post Falls. I get out of school at 11:50 every day and only usually work on the weekends. I would pay lots of attention to your animal. Making sure they’re going out for the bathroom every hour and giving them lots of love and time.
“Betty did a wonderful job taking care of our three dogs! She was very communicative and sent awesome photos and seemed to really just love on our pups while we were out of town for the weekend.”
“Rosemary was very sweet and incredibly thorough when asking questions during our original meetup. That made me feel assured she was going to take great care of our pups, which she did! She stayed at our house while we were gone and took great care of that too. You couldn't even tell she was there! Her communication was great and we felt we could enjoy our time away without worrying. I would highly recommend her and plan to rebook when needed in the future. ☺️”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Newman Lake on Rover is $43.63 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 762 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Newman Lake. 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 Newman Lake 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 Newman Lake 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 Newman Lake 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 Newman Lake. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
