“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!!!!”
“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.”
About: I’ve casually pet sit for friends and family for years. Now that I have more free time, I’d love to take of your cat, dog, or other pet! I have a lot of free time while I’m researching how to become a public school teacher. As I spend some time figuring out my new career, I’d love to help out with your cat, dog, or other pet! I promise to care for your pet as if it were my own. I have experience caring for dogs and cats. I have been babysitting and nannying for years, so I’m very familiar with being left alone in a clients house. I know how to respect someone’s space.
About: I've lived with and cared for dogs for my entire life; I love all animals, big, small, young, old and anywhere in between, the more animals the better! I have experience with dogs, cats, rats, hamsters, and fish and I get along with all of them. I am available for early mornings and late nights as well as weekends. I am also familiar with and unphased by the less glamorous sides of pet care, I don't mind cleaning up after puppy accidents, I have some experience grooming our shaggier four legged friends, and I know how to administer most puppy medications. I work from home so my availability is wide open for whatever you and your animals need. I am an extremely active person so there is no limit to much I will love and play with your pup, but I will also be patient and sensitive to nervous dog and cats. There is no puppy personality that I don't love. I can't wait to meet your dog! I work remote Monday - Wednesday. I also have weekends and evenings available for more involved activities. When im not pet sitting i like to take my own dog for hiking/ camping adventures! A typical day starts with breakfast and a nice romp around the yard, or brisque walk around the neighborhood so your dog can go potty and get out some morning energy. I have a flexible schedule at work so i can take frequent breaks to play and attend to your critters needs. In the evenings, im free again and i like to spend time being active, whether its a long walk, a game of fetch, or even an adventure to the park
“Sarah came highly recommended from our old sitter who is leaving town. She is kind, patient, and genuinely caring. Our dog felt comfortable and happy right away, which gave us total peace of mind at meet and greet. Such a nice, trustworthy person—we’d absolutely book her again.”
About: I am a very active and energetic person and love seeing the joy in all dogs. I have a 4 year old rescue who is also very energetic! She keeps me on my feet! Dogs love me because I love giving them attention all the time, I like to spoil them because that is what all dogs deserve! I am a great multitasker so I can give your dogs all the attention they need. I treat all dogs as if they are my family. I am currently working part time at UD and I work from home, so I will have plenty time for your pets! Also dogs make me the happiest! The way I care for pets is showing them lots of attention when they want it. I play with them physically and mentally. I have simple games that can stimulate your dogs mind.

“Catalina was outstanding. There was a problem with the lock and she went way above and beyond in working through it with me from long distance until we got it solved. I couldn't recommend Catalina more highly.”
“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!!”
“Arrived promptly on schedule and spent quality time with our two dogs. Sent pictures each time. Will certainly use Lisa’s service again and would recommend her for those looking for a compassionate animal caregiver.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have always had two furry best friends at a time. Caring for dogs has always been part of a daily, natural routine for me!

Every dog has their own personality so I take the time to understand them and adapt to make them feel comfortable as if they were my own!

“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! 💕”
About: I have taken care of neighbors’ and grandparents’ dogs as well as my own. I love dogs more than most people and would do anything to protect them and keep them happy. As a college student away from my fur babies at home, this fits perfectly into my schedule. I have a lot of time on my hands until I start grad school this summer! I will just be taking the fur babies for walks as I am in an apartment that unfortunately does not allow pups. I will use safe paths or neighborhoods as well as any parks or fields that allow us!
About: I’ve always had a dog in my home, and love any and all pups. My 10 year old dog recently passed. He was a one-dog household kind of guy, so my house feels very quiet without a pup in here. I’m also very used to caring for a dog who doesn’t always love other dogs. I work from home full time and have a large backyard. I can provide a minimum of 1 long walk each day, with frequent breaks out back. I have no other pets and no other people in my home. I have a fenced in yard and am here most of the time each day.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Newport is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Newport
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. 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.
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.

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.
