“Christa was a life saver. I can never fully enjoy my vacations because I think about my little guys alone in a boarding facility. I have a special needs dachshund named Maui. She's paralyzed in her back end and needs her bladder manually expressed. Very few boarding facilities will accept her. Christa came to our home three times per day, loved on, played with and cared for our three dogs and our parrot. I've never come home from a trip and found my dogs so happy and relaxed and clean. Christa went above and beyond.”
“My Ralphie loves Jeanette! She is so good with him and attentive to his needs. Her reports to us are thorough and always appreciated. We hope to have her watch Ralphie again soon!!!❤️.”
About: What sets me apart is the calm, safe, and loving environment I provide for every pet I care for. Animals naturally tend to feel comfortable around me, and I take pride in building trust with them through patience, attention, and affection. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful kittens and puppies to senior pets who may need extra patience and gentle care. I pay close attention to each pet’s unique personality, energy level, and needs so they feel secure, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals, whether that’s active playtime, relaxing cuddles, or simply keeping them company and making them feel loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home as an online tutor. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets attention before, after, and in between tutoring sessions throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means relaxing indoors with cuddles and companionship or getting outside for walks, playtime, fresh air, and exercise. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I love making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities when caring for pets in both my home and a client’s home. I make sure pets are always supervised, secure, and in a calm environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. When outdoors, I stay very aware of our surroundings and communicate carefully with others before allowing any interactions with people or other animals. I always prioritize safe walks, playtime, and exercise. Indoors, I make sure the environment is clean and pet-safe by keeping anything potentially harmful out of reach. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and body language to ensure they are comfortable, happy, and enjoying their time with me. My goal is to provide loving, attentive care so pets feel safe, cared for, and at home while their owners are away.
“You always worry when you get a new pet sitter. My regular sitter was out of town. I returned to Rover to hire Shannon and she was amazing ! I know my cats are kinda untrusting with new people ( except one of them ). Shannon followed all my instructions, gave me photo updates and my kitties & I are super happy! Would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for amazing house visits Shannon! 💕”
“She is amazing! super responsible and quick to respond. She treated my cats with so much care and kindness, and the regular photo updates after visiting gave me real peace of mind.”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was a child, but I also have a few years of professional pet sitting experience as well with both cats and dogs. Big or small, young or old, I have cared for them all. I work from home so as long as I have a wi-fi connection, I can care for your pet and your home for as long as you need. Overnight stays are available I will always keep your pet in my sights and be aware of their needs throughout the day. I will keep you posted with constant updates throughout the day as frequently as you wish.
“Shanisa has both boarded my dogs and did a drop in when I was late for a dinner. She is reliable and makes sure to center the comfort of my pups. She understands that my dogs are my world and treats them well.”
About: I have wanted a dog ever since I was little. I finally got a family dog at 21 years old. I have 3 years of experience taking care of my family dog. I moved across the country for nursing school. Now that I miss my dog like crazy I would love to get my dog fix by taking care of your pet. I can walk, bathe, feed, cuddle, and spend time with your pet! I am currently in nursing school, so I am flexible to care for your pet daily. I am available on the weekdays around my class schedule and on the weekends while I study. Dog friendly apartment complex, which includes a dog park too. I have one golden doodle back home who is crate trained, learns tricks quickly, well behaved, social, and loves to play with smaller dogs and cats.
“Alison took wonderful care of our 20-year-old cat while we were away. She was attentive, gentle, and clearly gave her lots of love and attention. We especially appreciated the detailed updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend her!”
“Mary took wonderful care of my Boston Terrier, Archie, for an extended period, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the level of care she provided. She arrived on time each day and shared plenty of updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Mary and would absolutely use her again.”
“Violeta took great care of our pups while we were away. She played with them and spent cuddle time too. We appreciated the pictures sent as well. It is obvious that our pups enjoyed Violeta. We will definitely book Violeta again!!”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs which taught me from an early age the responsibility and care that goes into looking after pets. I have two dogs: Molly & Zeus! Two rescues whom I love so much and follow me around like little shadows! I also have a gray tabby cat named Gin! I love my little trio! A few years ago, I also worked for a local pet care company where I traveled to care for both dogs and cats. I have experience administering insulin injections and oral medications, as well as providing daily care such as walks, playtime, brushing, feeding, and lots of attention. I’m also happy to help with small household tasks while owners are away, including bringing in mail and putting trash cans out. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I will care for your four-legged family exactly how I would want someone to care for mine! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently have very open availability through May 31, 2026, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of schedules, including weekdays, weekends, and daytime visits. After that, I will continue offering flexible availability with more evening availability during weekdays and open availability on weekends. I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to work with owners to find a schedule that best fits their pets’ needs! I will follow all instructions provided to ensure your pet’s routine is kept consistent and comfortable while you’re away. I will make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get their walks, playtime, and any medications as directed. Most importantly, I will give them plenty of love, attention, and patience, and treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for in their own home so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Olivia watched my two dogs during my wedding day. It was such a relief to have her there since I was gone for so long that day. She was very responsive to messages and updates, which is important when I only had a second to check in during the night. She was able to handle both dogs (which can be a handful) and took them for nice long walks. They were exhausted by the end of the night. Thanks so much Olivia!!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Rebecca, someone other than family to care for our pups, one of our pups is Medical Needs. Communication was great, which helped ease my anxiety. The pups seemed happy and perfect when we got home. Great experience!!!!”
About: Growing up, I have a cat at home, and now I volunteer for Forgotten Cat over weekends to take care about 5 cats every time. I love hanging out with cats. I am a PhD student at University of Delaware, and I have a flexible schedule during weekends and weekday at night and in the morning. I enjoy helping people taking care of their pets while they are gone. I have some cat toys available that I can bring to play with cats. I can provide drop-in visit to feed and play with cats.
“Wow, she did a wonderful job. She kept in touch with me while I was on vacation. She sent me pictures every day. I can’t say nothing bad but you did a great job and I appreciate you being there. Thank you. Yes, I will rebook you again if I ever need you, thank you again for taking care of queen so well.”
About: Hi there! 👋 I'm Sarah, and I'm passionate about providing top-notch care for your beloved pets. As a responsible and experienced pet owner, dog walker, and pet sitter with over 10 years of experience, I understand the unique needs of every animal. My background includes several years working at a veterinary clinic, giving me valuable insight into animal health and well-being. I've even volunteered alongside veterinarians in rural Southeast Asia, assisting with vaccination drives for stray dogs and offering free veterinary care to families. You can trust that your furry friends are in loving and capable hands with me. I'm dedicated to providing a safe, fun, and enriching experience for your pets, whether it's a brisk walk, a cozy overnight stay, or just some extra playtime. Contact me today to discuss your pet's needs! I offer a range of personalized pet services: whether you're at work, on vacation, or just need an extra hand, I'm here to help! I'm committed to providing compassionate and professional care for your beloved companions. Contact me today to discuss your pet's specific needs and create a customized care plan🫶 As a full-time pet care professional (and former vet tech!), pet care isn’t just part of my routine—it is my routine. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized small dogs and specialize in creating a calm, loving environment for both small dogs and gentle giants. I have extensive experience with senior pets, dogs with special needs, and pups who just need a little extra TLC. I work from home and structure my days around the animals in my care, with walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of cozy couch cuddles. I’m rarely away for more than 3–4 hours, so your dog will have a steady, comforting presence and personalized attention all day long. Whether they’re energetic or easygoing, your pup will feel safe, cared for, and right at home here. In my home, pets are truly treated like family. I usually only care for one (and no more than three) visiting dogs at a time, in addition to my own friendly resident pups, so each guest gets plenty of individualized attention. Every dog has their own cozy private space for naps, meals, and downtime, and a large shared area for safe, supervised play if they enjoy socializing. I remove toys during group play to prevent guarding issues and ensure calm, respectful interactions. Dogs are walked three times a day and also have supervised leashed or tethered access to my private yard for fresh air, sniffing, and sunshine. When the weather is nice, we love lounging on the porch or stretching out on a blanket in the grass together. Whether they’re here for boarding or daycare, your dog will enjoy a calm, structured, and loving environment where their needs and comfort come first. When caring for pets in their own homes, I aim to maintain their usual routines and comforts as closely as possible. I provide regular walks, feeding, medication if needed, and lots of companionship so your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. My experience as a former vet tech gives me confidence in caring for seniors, special needs pets, and administering medications safely and gently.

Stephanie was great! She was very flexible and able to come let Barbossa out with short notice. She was great with Bossa, who is a high energy dog, she played with him and sent photos and updates. I will definitely reach out again and recommend Stephanie for your pets care! Thanks so much, Stephanie!
Тогда просто заменим имя: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We are extremely happy with the care Toni provided for our dog and cat while we were away. From the photos and updates she sent, it was clear that both of our pets felt comfortable and safe with her. Our dog looked happy and relaxed, and what impressed us the most was our cat. She is usually very shy and does not let anyone pet her, but she trusted Toni and even allowed her to pet her. That alone says a lot about the kindness, patience, and genuine connection Toni has with animals. Throughout our entire vacation, we felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such good hands. Finding someone you can truly trust with your animals and your home is incredibly important, and Toni gave us that peace of mind. We are very grateful for the excellent care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Toni! ❤️🐶🐱 Tatiana & Nikita
Carmen is phenomenal! She is communicative, timely, and thoughtful during her visits. One of my kitties is very shy and hides whenever new people arrive. She was patient and sat with her until she came out for some love. Another one of the cats needed medicine for anxiety and she was able to give him his meds without any issue. Our dog loves her as well and is always so excited to see her. I’m so glad we found Carmen!
Joseph was very professional and fully capable of caring for my precious Pittie in my absence. I was very worried at first as this was my first time but Joseph made sure to send me updates (pictures & videos) to keep me in the loop during time of care. I would highly recommend his services and will be utilizing his services as well in the future. My dog bonded with him very early on which made it much easier for all of us. Kudos Joseph!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Newport stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Newport 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!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Newport with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 95% 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.
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.
