Abby did an amazing job with Charlie. We would definitely recommend her and will use her again if we're in the Key Largo area. She beat me to communication every step of the way, was timely in showing up to our place to watch Charlie and sent us videos and pics throughout the day. I have nothing but good things to say about our first experience using Rover. Thank you Abby! We know Charlie was in good hands and his long nap this evening shows he had a great time while we were out.

About: I've never not had at least one dog or cat growing up. Experience with caring for many types of dogs and cats within all ages and sizes. I am currently working as a freelancer so I have plenty of time to care for your pets on which ever days and times you need. I can easily crate dogs if needed. Can follow a set feeding schedule or free feed pets. I am used to having high energy dogs and cats that want to play all the time so can definitely entertain them with lots of toys, walks and company.

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience in animal rescue and rehabilitation, I have devoted my life to the health, happiness, and comfort of pets of all kinds—from tiny bugs and birds to beloved dogs and everything in between. As a lifelong dog owner and passionate advocate for animals big and small, I specialize in at-home pet sitting that goes far beyond basic care. My background includes providing tailored rehabilitative support for a wide range of ailments, ensuring every pet receives attentive, knowledgeable attention that prioritizes their individual needs and well-being. When you entrust your furry (or feathered, or scaly) family member to me, you can rest easy knowing they’re in the hands of someone who truly understands and loves animals deeply. I focus 100% on their physical recovery, emotional comfort, and daily joy—whether that means administering gentle care for post-surgery recovery, managing chronic conditions, adapting routines for senior pets, or simply providing the love and playtime every animal deserves. Your peace of mind is my priority; I treat every pet as if they were my own. * Daily Care: Feeding, medication administration, walks/exercise, playtime, and maintaining your pet's routine. * Home Oversight: Mail collection, plant watering, light security checks, and waste cleanup. * Updates: Daily photos/texts/emails about your pet's well-being. * Specialized Services: Senior comfort care, puppy care, or handling specific temperaments/behaviors. * Emergency Response: Immediate action per your instructions, including vet transport if authorized. * Additional Options: See "Fees for Additional Services and Senior Comfort Care" section. I have a full-time organic pet supply website and love to share my time hands-on with pets of all kinds. Part time availability. I have been in property management for years approximately 18+ I have been in Rescue and rehab for pug specific rescues and all breeds for 20+ years my abilities are very broad, but I particularly am very zeroed in on what your pet needs and enjoys, and is physically enthusiastic and capable of doing. I love to combine your relationship with the enthusiasm of that special visitor when I come to care for them. I make a great teammate to your Pet Care.

About: I had the good fortune to retire early at 53. Recently moved permanently to Key Largo. I have the time to properly care for your fur baby in your home or do walks or drop in visits. I’m not doing this to make a living. I’m available because I love dogs. I treat them like they are my children. I’m extremely honest, dependable and trustworthy. I like to teach each dog something as I interact with them. I enjoy training and highly encourage play and exercise. I’ve had dogs all my life. Many different sizes and breeds. I promised to love, protect and care for every one from the first day to the last. I will do the same for your furry friend every time I care for them. I can watch any kind of dog, young, old, energetic or chill. I’m retired and my girlfriend works from home. We have the time to watch your fur baby every day without distractions. Can provide care during weekdays or weekends. We keep our puppy inside our house. Will do the same with your pup. We exercise her on walks around the neighborhood and runs in the back yard. We can exercise your pup on or off leash depending on your preference.

About: My wife and I provide dog sitting, dog walks, drop in visits for multiple families in the Upper Keys area and have three fur babies of our own. We have been dog sitting for several years and have provided care for a multitude of canines, from dog walking services, fostering, and boarding. We are willing to take all canines that are well-mannered and play nice with others. We are also willing and able to care for puppies and older companions. I also provide obedience classes for shelter animals, puppies, and adoptions who need help with simple tasks like crate training, walking on a leash, sitting, and house training. Pet care is already a natural part of our daily routine. My wife and I work as a team, which gives us flexibility to make sure pets get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. We enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for additional pets fits easily into our lifestyle. Our goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for just like they would at home. We’re a husband-and-wife team and longtime dog owners ourselves, so caring for pets is already a big part of our everyday life. We have three dogs of our own and understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. In our home, we focus on creating a relaxed, safe environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and downtime. We treat visiting pets like part of the family while still following the routine and rules their owners are used to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we’re respectful of both the pet’s routine and the home. We follow feeding schedules, walking instructions, medications or special directions provided, keep things clean, and make sure pets get plenty of companionship and attention. Having two of us also means an extra set of eyes, extra attention, and more flexibility when caring for your pets. Most importantly, we want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pets are being cared for by people who genuinely love animals and will treat them the way we would want our own dogs treated.

About: Hi! My name is Albert Hernandez! I'd be taking your furry friend for multiple walks a day and feeding them according to the schedule you give me. I've had dogs my entire life, and I even grew up on a farm! (we had six dogs!) I love dogs and really appreciate having them as company. I'm currently a full time student, with all of my classes being online, so I have plenty of time to take special care of your family friend. It is a pleasure to be able to take care of your fur babies and making sure they truly enjoy their stay away from home. From years of experience my girlfriend and I know how to make sure your pup feels at home.

About: 🐾 PAWSITIVELY THE BEST CARE! ❤️ 10+ years of experience caring for dogs—and a home intentionally modified to provide your pup with comfort, safety, and plenty of love. 🐶🏡 I’ve Pawsitively gone the extra mile to create a dog-friendly environment where your furry family member can feel right at home. 🌿 PET-SAFE YARD My yard features pet-specific, non-toxic turf, providing your pup with a clean, comfortable outdoor space while helping keep them away from bugs and fleas. 🛡️ SAFETY FIRST My home has multiple safety gates strategically placed to help keep curious pups safe and prevent accidental escapes. ❄️ PRIVATE DOG SPACES My converted garage features two private spaces with a dedicated A/C unit, giving dogs a cool, comfortable area when they want some quiet time or their own space. 🛏️ COMFORTABLE KENNELS I have four comfortable kennels—2 Large and 2 XXL each set up with a comfortable bed and padded bedding. These are quality kennels designed with your dog’s comfort in mind. 🏡 HOME 24/7 I’m home around the clock, allowing me to provide frequent potty breaks, supervision, playtime, companionship, and individual attention throughout the day. 📍 SUPER CONVENIENT LOCATION I’m located right off the Florida Turnpike at Exit 2. Flying out of Miami or Fort Lauderdale Airport? You can simply hop off the Turnpike to drop off your pup, then hop right back on and continue your trip. It’s an easy stop along the way without adding unnecessary time to your drive! 🐾 Please Note: I care for multiple dogs at a time, so I don’t offer exclusive one-on-one sitting. However, I am home 24/7 and provide plenty of love, supervision, playtime, potty breaks, and individual attention throughout the day. I follow each dog’s routine, including meals, medications, exercise, and rest. 🐶❤️ 🏡 Private rooms are also available for dogs who need quiet time, prefer their own space, or simply want to relax away from the group. I intentionally keep my availability limited so every pup receives the attention and care they deserve. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. 🐾💕 Whether caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s needs. In my home, I ensure the space is pet-proofed, clean, and equipped with plenty of toys, cozy spots to rest, and access to fresh food and water. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walking, and playtime to help pets feel secure.🐶 Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for at all times.❤️❤️❤️

About: Hey there! I’m Victoria, a Miami-based house sitter and animal lover. Most of my pet care experience comes from helping clients care for up to seven dogs at once - as you can imagine, I’m not a stranger to organized chaos. From walks and potty breaks to feeding and playtime, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality and routine. Whether your pet's a couch potato or super active, I’m happy to spend time with them individually or in groups. Cats, dogs, and bunnies are all welcome! I’m big on integrity and communication - just let me know what your communication preferences are. I'm happy to give daily updates or weekly check-ins. I'm available Monday-Sunday for short or extended visits, morning or evening. Outside of work you’ll usually find me writing poetry, hunting down the best mangoes, and spending an evening at the ballet. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your home and pets with respect, I’d love to chat. Looking forward to meeting you! I'm currently working from home part-time so I'd be able to snuggle your cats regularly, walk your dogs a few times a day, and complete overnight visits. I closely follow a pet owner's instructions on how to prepare food and care for their furry friend. Whether your pet needs a special mix of wet and dry food, a certain number of walks a day, regular brushing, or anything else, I'll be sure to follow your pet's needs closely.

FAQs for House Sitting - Newport

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Newport on Rover is $49.95 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 340 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Newport. 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 Newport 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 Newport 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 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!

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Newport. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.

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.
