“Madison!!! Can’t say enough great things about her! She was the first person I hired off of this site and she was absolutely awesome! Everything went smoothly! She was so good to my pets and I felt so safe having her stay in our home. She’s very down to earth and you can tell she loves animals. I would ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND HER to literally anyone and everyone!!”
“When I met Sir, I found him to be courteous, kind and attentive. He asked several questions about our pets including their needs, likes and dislikes. He interacted with them and they seemed very comfortable in his company. During his house sitting we found him to be dependable and communicative. We received several texts and pictures letting us know how things were going and what is plans were that day. Our Tippy requires medicine application twice daily and Sir made sure to let us know his medication had been given. His interactions and attention to our pets was top notch! He cleaned before he left. We found Sir to be responsible, trustworthy, and his care of our pets gave us great peace of mind. We will use his services again in September and highly recommend him to care for your beloved pets.”
“Monica was absolutely wonderful! She stayed at our home and took amazing care of our dogs, following every instruction perfectly and treating them with so much love. She was very communicative throughout her stay, which gave us total peace of mind, and she kept our house in great shape too! She came ahead of time for a meet‑and‑greet, which we really appreciated and I could see right away how much my dogs already liked her! The whole experience was fantastic, and we would definitely book Monica again without hesitation. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog sitter!”
“From the moment Chloe and I had a meet and greet with Samantha, I could just tell she is a genuinely kind person. She took great care of Chloe while my husband and I were out for the evening. She sent me pictures and I could tell Chloe really likes her. We look forward to the next time that Samantha can dog sit for us!!!”
“This was our first time leaving our golden and 2 cats for anything longer than several hours and they were left in good hands with Amy. They were taken care of very well, and we'll definitely rebook with Amy again should the need arise. Def recommend Amy for your pets' needs.”
“Nicole was diligent in caring for our dog and bought him a couple of new toys that he loves! She was cheerful and exhibited a great ability in being able to manage his rambunctious behaviors from the very first day. We appreciated her dependability and punctuality.”
“They are both amazing! We are moving too and I told them they really don’t have to stay at the house since it was chaotic with boxes and such, but they insisted to stay with my babies. My pups were obsessed 🤍🐾”
“Zahira was a great dog and housesitter! She was punctual, very communicative and sent plenty of photos and videos of our dog each day. Our pup was happy and healthy when we got home. We’ve already booked her to watch our dog again! Highly recommend, thanks so much!!”
“Julia stayed with our dog and cat for two nights. She gave us great updates with pictures while we were gone, and also took good care of our house. We definitely recommend Julia!”
About: I’m a veterinary student at Rowan and looking for a side gig. I’ve worked with paraplegic and elderly dogs, trained puppies, and volunteered at SPCA. I would be looking to work mainly on the weekends. If needed, I can occasionally work early evening (5 pm to 8 pm) on weekdays. I prioritize creating a safe environment by paying attention to each pet’s body language and behavior. Through the SPCA, I learned about pet psychology and how to recognize signs of fear or stress, as well as how to use appropriate handling techniques to build trust.
“Gregory was excellent with our Husky boy, Buddy! He stayed with him as asked and played in the backyard. He even did training exercises with him to keep him mentally stimulated. We will definitely use Gregory again!”
“Felicia is amazing! She has a heart of gold and took loving care of our 2 pups and 7 parakeets for 7 days and nights. They all loved her. The house was clean and orderly. She went above and beyond. We highly recommend Felicia for all of your pet care needs. We will most definitely hire Felicia again!🐾”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all kinds for many years. I have personally owned two dogs ranging from 30 lbs to 100 lbs and two hamsters as well. I have learned the ins and outs of caring for and keep them happy. I have also cared for neighbors and friends dogs and other pets. I'm currently studying as a college student. I have a flexible schedule so I'll have time to walk your pup. I'm available on weekends and weekday mornings. I will come to your home and make your pet feel happy and loved. I will follow all guidelines to keep them safe. Walking, feeding, and play are all important when caring for your pup.
“Rebecca needs to quit her day job and do this forever. If you are looking for someone caring, respectful, nurturing, and playful, then stop where you are. You aren't going to find a better sitter. I left this woman a sheet of instructions and came back to it being laminated and memorized. I bet she could recite it like your favorite song from Hamilton. Be careful, though...your pets might like her more than you when she's done with them. BOOK. HER. NOW.”
“Overall had an excellent experience with Logan dog sitting. She was very flexible and able to meet in advance so my dog could become acquainted with her prior to the booked dates. Great communication throughout sitting, sent daily updates and pictures! She took great care of my dog and treated my home with respect.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Sewell is $55

Nicole was very nice and easy to talk to when I met her. The dogs were very comfortable being around her upon introduction. They were content and happy when I returned from my trip. They didn’t seem stressed in the least, which tells me she took excellent care of them. The house was treated with care too. I will definitely ask her to stay with my dogs again.
Here’s a concise and heartfelt version: Everyone loves a vacation, but leaving your dog behind is never easy. Amy made the entire process seamless and gave us complete peace of mind. Sloane was clearly loved and well cared for, and we came home to a spotless house. I would use her again for a drop-in or overnight stays in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sewell on Rover is $66.6 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 5,071 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sewell. 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 Sewell 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 Sewell 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 Sewell 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
