Charlotte did an amazing job of taking care of Luka and our home! She sent us regular updates and pictures. I could tell he was very well looked after while we were away. We will definitely have Charlotte look after Luka again in the future.

About: We love looking after dogs and want to help your pet feel at home with me while you’re away doing important human things. Your pet will be part of our family when they are with us. I have common sence, empathy and intuition. I love a cuddle and am a human nurse 😍 I live close to a big green park for walks We love to take dogs with to our activities like going to the pub, the river, paddling pool and for days out. If your pet is up for it of course. We recently took a pet on the miniature railway! I live with my partner who will also be involved in giving your pet love and attention. We have a big house and a lovely enclosed garden for them to enjoy and once we are all worn out they can join us chilling in the sofa If you have a bigger dog than our set criteria we are happy to have them as long as they are well behaved and able to sleep downstairs alone. I am a human nurse so hygiene is big on my agenda so I do lots of cleaning between customers. I’m understanding if different schedules and will fit around theirs if needed. There are quiet spaces available in the house. I do a mixture of work from home and working from an office that’s only a few streets away. And partner does shifts so we can ensure someone is home 24/7. We can do any length and frequency of walk desired and dogs on longer stays will be taken for walks and days further away (Whisby being one of our favourite). I have an enclosed back garden and live in a quiet street. There are no other pets here and it’s a big house for them to have their own space and move around when home. The basics of my job as a nurse is making sure basic needs are met like eating, sleeping, weeing, popping and feeling content, well and happy and I want to make sure this happens for your pet to…. So be prepared to answer questions about their pooping routine! I have done the NarpsUK free dog sitting course and am currently undertaking the full course which includes being educated about dog/cat first aid, breeds and healthcare.

Bik did a wonderful job watching our dog over a long weekend. She made sure he got lots of exercise and provided us with lots of pictures while we were away. We were able to enjoy our holiday to the fullest as we knew our fur baby was safe and happy.

About: With years of hands-on dog care experience and a genuine passion for animal wellbeing, I provide more than just walks — I create safe, engaging, and personalised experiences for every dog I care for. I’m known for being reliable, attentive, and calm with dogs of most sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether it’s an energetic adventure walk, gentle support for older dogs, or helping anxious pets feel comfortable and secure, I treat every dog like my own. Owners trust me for consistent communication, punctuality, and the peace of mind that their pets are receiving loving, professional care every step of the way. As a university student with a flexible timetable, I am available throughout weekdays to provide reliable and convenient dog walking services that fit around your schedule. My lighter study hours allow us to offer daytime walks, last-minute availability, and consistent care when many owners are busy at work. Whether your dog needs a quick lunchtime walk or a longer daytime adventure, I am committed to giving them the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I care for my dogs with love, patience, and constant attention, making sure their safety, happiness, and wellbeing always come first. From regular walks and playtime to creating a calm and comfortable environment, we treat our dogs like part of the family. I understand how important trust is when it comes to pet care, which is why i give every dog the same level of care, affection, and attention I would expect for my own.

Evie did a great job handling my pack. Each of my 3 dogs have specific needs and Evie took this all in her stride. Particularly impressed with how Evie handled my reactive Samoyed- he’s a strong, highly strung dog- but Evie wasn’t phased. Thank you Evie. Look forward to seeing you again soon!

Rebecca has been amazing getting to know our 4 year old rescue Cooper at his own pace. She has built up from drops ins to a weekend sit and has been great throughout. She sent photos and updates while we were away, and the house was left lovely and tidy when we got home. We'd definitely recommend her! 🙂

About: Having grown up around animals pretty much my whole life, I have lots of experience in taking care and loving animals and know exactly what it takes to look after yours. Although taking care of animals can be a handful at times- whether you have an anxious pet, a puppy that hasn’t been crate trained or a dog that needs medication- I find it to be one of the most rewarding jobs. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs and am very adaptable when it comes to your pets needs. As a young woman I am very diligent when it comes to security, always ensuring doors and any entrances are locked. I am proactive and am able to handle any unexpected occurrences or issues that may arise. I maintain a line of communication with pet owners to keep them updated and address any concerns. Alongside Rover, I have accumulated lots of experience on various different pet sitting apps, having looked after many different animals, predominantly dogs. Hi! I am Hannah, I am 23 years old and have lots of time to spend with your little ones :) I have just come back from 1 year of travel and have decided not to jump straight back into employment, so all of my time can be devoted to pet sitting! I am available for overnight sits every day of the week, as well as day sits, drop in visits and dog walking. My flat is on a fenced in 20+ acre piece of land so there is plenty of room for your dogs to run around, and on top of this I am surrounded by numerous dog walking spots with lakes and mountain trails right on our doorstep. On the flip side, if you would prefer me to come and stay in your home to look after your pets, I want to ensure you a worry free trip through treating your home as I would my own with care and consideration. I maintain cleanliness making sure you return to your home in the same great condition.

Harriet was wonderful with Luna and Luna loved her. Luna was extremely well looked after and Harriet obviously loves dogs and enjoys her time with them. Harriet also looked after our house including putting the bins out at the appropriate time and everything was left in excellent order. I would thoroughly recommend Harriet to pet sit in their own homes. I would be very confident to have her come to Luna sit again.

What a delightful young lady. My two poodles were so happy for Hannah to be looking after them, they hardly made a fuss of me when I returned home! She sent a daily update with photos - it was all simply perfect. She is completely trustworthy and reliable, which is hugely important when handing over your home and pets. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Hannah again.

About: Hi, I’m Anna! I have been surrounded by animals my whole life. Growing up, our house was always full of pets. We always had family dogs, plus a huge mix of small furry creatures and reptiles too. Because of that, I am completely comfortable looking after all kinds of pets and understanding their different quirks and personalities. ​I am currently a PhD student, which means I am very reliable, quiet, and trustworthy. If you need in house pet sitting, I am the perfect fit because my studies allow me to spend plenty of time at your home keeping your pets company and making sure their routine stays exactly the same. ​Whether your dog needs a long walk to burn off energy, or you have a small pet or reptile that needs specific feeding and cage care, I can help. I love being outdoors and walking, so your dogs will get plenty of quality time outside, and back at your house I will make sure all your instructions are followed perfectly. ​I will send plenty of updates and photos while you are gone so you know everything is going well. I look forward to meeting your pets! Because of my schedule as a PhD student, my routine is incredibly flexible. I do a lot of my work from a desk, which means I can easily base myself at your house for day care or overnight stays, providing plenty of consistent company and supervision. ​My routine allows me to easily fit in morning, midday, or evening walks depending on what your dog is used to. Whether you need regular weekday check ins or full time company over the weekend, I can adapt my time to match your pet's normal schedule perfectly. Safety and trust are my main priorities when looking after your pets and your home. When I am house sitting, I treat your space with complete respect, keeping everything clean, tidy, and secure. I make sure to strictly follow your instructions regarding feeding times, routines, and where your pets are allowed to go in the house. ​I know that every animal is different, so I always take a patient approach. I pay close attention to their body language to make sure they are comfortable and happy, never forcing them into interactions if they are feeling shy or overwhelmed. ​For walks, I keep dogs on a lead unless we are in a designated safe area and you have explicitly told me they have excellent recall. Before leaving your house, I always double check that doors and gates are properly locked, and that small pets or reptiles are completely secure in their enclosures. You will get regular photo updates throughout the stay so you can see exactly how relaxed and well cared for they are.

Katrin is amazing! She is so friendly and understanding when it comes to my nervous cockapoo Daisy. She puts my mind to ease as I have never left Daisy with anyone before . Although Daisy is nervous of new people she warmed up to Katrin very fast. Cannot recommend enough! Will be booking Katrina whenever I need a dog sitter for Daisy :)

Christa was great! I have an 8 year old dog and my roommate has a 6 month old puppy. This was definitely a challenging duo due to their different energy levels and special requirements and Christa seemed to take it all in stride. Very grateful she made it easy for us not to worry about the dogs on our trip.

Ava was absolutely fantastic. Both our cats were happy (a difficult task). They were well looked after and the house was left in a lovely way, too. Ava was really easy to communicate with and is such a lovely person, too. We would very happily have Ava house sit for us again!

Lauren has been our regular sitter for a while now, and Max and Mitzi absolutely adore her! 🐶🐶 She’s reliable, caring, and always goes the extra mile to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. We can tell how much she genuinely loves animals — they get so excited every time she arrives! It gives us complete peace of mind knowing our pups are in such safe and loving hands.

Our dog has been very happy , relaxed with Emma. He has been given plenty of attention and love. We have received updates regularly ensuring peace of mind while away. We will definitely keep booking Emma when available.

FAQs for House Sitting - Newark

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Newark on Rover is £63.25 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 830 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Newark . Enter your postcode 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:

  • Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Newark walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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 must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

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 our Trust & Safety page .

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 Newark choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.

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 vet. 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 authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation 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.
