“Shanette stayed at our house for one week with our Maltese. Took excellent care of our dog and sent updates, pictures, and videos. We felt so at ease and comfortable with our dog in her care. Worth the money for peace of mind.”
“This was our very first time using Rover, and as extremely overprotective dog parents, we were definitely nervous. But Brad was absolutely amazing from start to finish. He eased our minds with daily updates, complete with photos and videos that showed just how well our dog was doing! We also had a Fi tracker on his collar and it was so reassuring to see how many walks and steps he was getting. Brad took him out so often, even more than our normal routine! Our dog occasionally gets so excited that he’ll throw up if he hasn’t eaten in a while, and when it happened, Brad immediately texted us, cleaned it up, and made sure he ate and drank after. His communication was quick, calm, and thoughtful, which helped us feel totally at ease. It was clear our dog was incredibly well cared for — he got plenty of walks, playtime with his toys, and lots of attention. Honestly, he looked sad when Brad left! Brad also left our home neat and spotless, which we really appreciated. We feel like we hit the jackpot with Brad. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to take care of our fur baby, and we’d recommend him to absolutely anyone. We hope to book with him again!”
“Sierra stayed at my apartment in the BX to watch my 45lb rescue pittie for three weeks in May, and I highly recommend her! She was responsive and so generous coming all the way from NJ to meet my pup and me first and incredibly responsive before the day of. Every day she sent me text and/photo updates, and it was super clear my pup was very well cared for and loved. Coming back, pup was happy and healthy and the apartment was clean as I left it (thanks, Sierra!).”
“Durell and Michael were awesome!! We are repeat customers because they always are so loving to our dog and go above and beyond for him. This time they stayed with him to calm him during a thunderstorm and bought him a toy when his bone went missing. They always keep us well informed about how he is doing. We will definitely use them again!”
“Susi was great with our baby kitties! She stayed with them while we were traveling and took great care of them! She really loves cats and dogs and we greatly appreciated her sharing updates and cute pictures! Lilly and Miss Tabby really enjoyed spending time with Susi! 😻”
“Fernando & Milena are phenomenal pet sitters! My dog Leo loves when they house sit and I'm always able to enjoy my time away knowing Leo is in excellent care. They send me lots of updates and they're excellent at communicating with me. They give Leo lots of affection and he always has a great time. Thank you both for being the best!”
“Lisa was excellent! She was a great communicator and super reliable. She went above and beyond by sending us pics of our boy and letting us know how he was doing. Our cat obviously loved her and we will happily have her back.”
“Chyanne is fantastic! I felt at ease knowing my babies (a dog and 2 kitties) were at home with her. Chyanne housesitted them for 2 and was very responsive, provided timely updates, and was overall very thoughtful. She checked in on them often, played with my dog in the back yard and followed the care instructions I gave her. Chyanne went above and beyond when taking care of my babies and I would definitely book her again in the future!”
“Gabriel was wonderful! He was willing and able to take on some days watching Lucy as my regular sitter was booked a few days during a long work trip. He did a wonderful job with her, was so kind, caring and great. She was comfortable, happy and well cared for. He did a great job keeping me updated, answering my questions and ensuring I felt comfortable having someone new care for Lucy. Will absolutely be using him again!”
About: I work from home as a designer so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I have loved animals since I was little when I had my own dog and cat. Now I welcome your furry friend to join me on the couch or a walk, so you have the peace of mind knowing that they're taken care of. I work flexible hours from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your dog or cat. I am available throughout the day. I adapt to the rules and routines of any household I am welcomed into.

“We were so pleased with Kenine’s care of our pups that we rebooked her immediately! She is very communicative about the health and wellbeing of our dogs, taking cues from them about what they need. She went above and beyond when one of ours had some tummy trouble and picked up a fiber supplement to help get things regular again. I can only say positive things about Kenine!”
“Ms Krista was very professional and kind. During the time she had my keys to my house she was 1000% professional. Taking photos and videos of her visit and updateing every single morning with no problem not one. She was genuine and I truely appreciate her kindness and honesty. She is a perfect candidate for future pet sittings or anything. I recommend her strongly.”
“Christina was a great house/dog sitter! She put in te time to keep Charlie Chi happy and engaged and well-walked, communicated with me to ask about details, sent me photos of the places she visited with Charlie, and was respectful of my home. I wouldn’t hesitate to engage her again.”
About: Hello, I’m a 27 year old who has loved animals their entire life. Currently I don’t have any pets but while I was younger my family always had animals in the house. I’ve had the pleasure of growing up around dogs and cats. When I moved away from home I started pet sitting for family friends and neighbors. I have pet sat cats, dogs, even a parrot and a snake. I love caring for other people's pets and understand the love and care that is expected when taking on this job. Caring for animals is one of my favorite past times. I currently freelance so my availably is extremely open. That also means your pet will get my full attention for any care they need. I work from home so I will have ample time to care for the pets. I also live walking distance from a park so walks will not be a problem. I don't currently have pets but the way I would care for pets in my home is by paying as much attention as I can to them. Making sure they are well fed, comfortable and relaxed.
“Malgorzata was prompt on replies and got along really well with my dog who is normally cautious around new people. While on vacation she sent many photos and updates to keep me posted on the status of Jaeger. Great communication and when I returned he was happy and healthy!”
“Tricia was so wonderful with my dog when I was away all week. My pup just loved her. She gave her so much attention and exercise. Tricia was in constant communication and sent a bunch of photos throughout the week. She left my house spotless, even washed the towels and sheets and remade the bed. Very respectful of my home. Would use her again and would recommend her.”
“The kitties had a great time with Michael, as always. He even got our feral to play, which was huge. He's a fabulous caretaker, and we will have him back again, per usual. Thanks, Michael!”
“Nagham did well with my high maintenance, senior, fearful, and reactive dog. She was very gentle and slow with her. She followed all of my care instructions and sent an update every day”
“Ariana was AMAZING! She stayed in our home and took care of our two pups. One that is an elder pup and requires medication. She took them on daily walks and left our home in perfect order. Ariana communicates well and our pups can’t wait to see her again. Highly recommend Ariana. 12 out of 10 stars!!”
“Celine was great with our maltipoo Gracie! She helped us out last minute, and was accommodating of Gracie’s anxiety issues. She also sent great photos and videos throughout the stay so we knew Gracie was well taken care of!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West New Brighton
We couldn't have asked for a better sitter! ❤️ Leaving Titan and Queenie while we traveled overseas was a little nerve-racking, but from the moment we met Lexi, we knew they were in great hands. She was incredibly communicative throughout our trip, sending thoughtful updates and the sweetest photos that gave us so much peace of mind. It truly felt like she cared for them as if they were her own. She followed all of their routines perfectly, paid attention to the little details, and made sure they felt comfortable, loved, and happy while we were away. Coming home to two relaxed, well-cared-for pups was the best feeling. If you're looking for someone who is reliable, kind, attentive, and genuinely loves animals, we can't recommend Lexi enough. We will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our babies!
Michael and Durell are swell hosts! The sent lots of photos and I can tell my Charlie was very content and well treated in their care. They were also extremely scrupulous in making absolutely sure that when they had more than one dog staying, there would be no question of compatibility. I would not hesitate to book with them again!
Olivia is a great pet sitter. She is prompt, courteous, and understanding of all questions and concerns while we were traveling, and she is great with animals as well. Her photo updates were also always timely and a pleasure to receive. I felt at ease knowing that our cat was in good hands!
Kathleen watched my dog for over a week and was a great dog sitter. She regularly sent photos and updates about their day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was on vacation. She was also very quick and easy to communicate with throughout the stay. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a dog/cat sitter!
Vivian stayed with Opie for a few nights while we went on a trip. She was very punctual and sent frequent updates and photos. She was also very responsive if I asked for an update. She left our place in great condition and even brought in some mail and packages. Vivian was great, I would recommend her and book with her again!
Michelle was kind and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. She followed all of our instructions and left our home exactly how we left it, which we really appreciated. There were a couple of timing and communication issues at the beginning, but once we connected, she was very responsive and made sure everything was taken care of. I appreciated her willingness to adjust and make things right. Overall, our experience ended on a positive note, and I would feel comfortable booking with her again.
This is second vacation Leslie has house set for us. She is amazing! We have two rescue dogs that we wanted to leave in their home while we were away. She fed them, played and walked them and gave them their meds. Peace of mind knowing your fur babies are well cared for makes being away more relaxing. We had daily texts with photos which helped with our missing them too.

FAQs for House Sitting - West New Brighton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West New Brighton on Rover is $52.17 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 19,043 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West New Brighton. 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 West New Brighton 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 West New Brighton 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 West New Brighton 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.

- 97% 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.
