About: Dogs are the best! I’ve raised a lab, a pit bull and even a mix from puppies. My childhood dogs were a lab and cockapoo so I’m used to large and medium dogs. It’s a joy to care for dogs in their home where they feel familiar and loved. Funny fact … I’ve been peed on twice at a dog park, once by a Great Dane! 🤣 I used gentle training methods (and lots of cheerios) with my puppies. With our previous dog, we took the PetSmart training course with our lab mix and that was really helpful. I teach at the high school so early mornings, after school and evenings are open times. Dogs need play time and connection as well as their own little space. Whatever they’re feeding schedule is, I would stick to that so it feels as close to their home life as it can. I never feed human food (unless directed by you) and discourage begging from the table by keeping their food near the kitchen. Whatever your dog’s schedule is, I can accommodate it and they’ll be in the cuddle pile with me anytime they want. My dogs were always crate trained so I’m confident in helping a dog have their safe space if that’s their normal. Basically, think of this as granny’s coming to visit. I might spoil them. I won’t leave them all sugared up though! I’m in a classroom teaching high school when school is in. Holidays and weekends I am home and available with greater frequency. Early morning, early afternoon and evening walks would be my best times to take care of your pet. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their rules. I’m an active person so long walks or playing ball, running the beach and a bath after are all part of the fun.
“Lauren was very sweet and good with my two puppies! Hades isn’t usually into cuddling but you could tell he loved her. Luna was excited to see her for the second time and she is also usually very shy”

About: I have been taking care of many different animals since I was around 10 years old. I have graduated college, and have been working aboard and would like to make some extra money while I’m back in the states. I have watched and walked most dog breeds and ages anywhere from puppies to older dogs. I am good with sick dogs or cats. And a fast learner if I run into a new situation. I’ve been working in the pacific for the past 2 years. I am back home to take some time off but would still like to make a little bit of money. Schedule is pretty flexible. My apt unfortunately does not allow pets. But I have a reliable car and am able to travel to yours for walks or pet setting!
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.

About: Hey parents, my name is Lin. What sets me apart is the genuine love and personal experience I bring to caring for dogs. I’ve raised my two chihuahuas since they were puppies—they’re truly family to me—so I understand how important it is to find someone who treats your pets like their own. I’ve created the most pet-friendly home environment, with a large fenced backyard that has grassy areas to run around, doggie pools to cool off in, and plenty of space to play and explore. Inside, the rooms are air-conditioned and cozy, so your pup will always be comfortable. I encourage socializing and active playtime, and I keep crate time to a minimum—usually zero—unless it’s part of your dog’s routine. I also have experience with both extrovert and introvert pets as well as puppies and senior dogs, so whether your pup is full of energy or needs a slower pace, they’ll be in safe, loving hands. Me and my fiancé are home full-time, so your pup will always have someone around giving them love and attention. I run my own online business, and she’s a full-time nursing student taking classes from home, which means we’re both here 24/7 to supervise, play, and care for the dogs throughout the day. Whether it’s potty breaks, cuddle sessions, or keeping up with their routine, we’ve got it covered. Your dog will never feel alone or ignored—they’ll be part of the family while they’re with us. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities. We’ve created a calm, welcoming, and secure environment where every pup can feel right at home and keeping you updated with pictures and videos throughout the day of their activities. Our large backyard is fully fenced for safe outdoor play, and we’re always supervising to make sure everyone is happy and safe—no dog is ever left unattended. Inside, the space is clean, cozy, air-conditioned, and monitored with cameras so we can always keep an eye on everything. We take the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously and treat every dog like they’re part of our own family. You can trust that your pup will be safe, loved, and well cared for every step of the way.
About: Ive taken care of dogs / cats ever sincei was a child. I always had a love for animals ever since i could remember. I have 1 cat & 1 dog of my own who are very happy loved. My work schedule is very flexible and for most days i work from home so I’ll be there to care and watch the animals whenever i have a pet in my care. I have a backyard that is pretty spacious and I also have an area in the front that has a decent amount of space. The entire property is gated so there is no way for them to escape. They can play outside or inside, whichever the animal prefers in that moment.
About: I have always loved animals, and caring for my own dog, Jaxxon, has made that love even stronger. Jaxxon is part of my family, and taking care of him has taught me how important patience, responsibility, routine, and trust are when it comes to pets. Along with caring for Jaxxon, I have experience pet sitting and house sitting for many different kinds of animals, including various breeds of dogs, parrots, and even snakes. I understand that every animal has its own personality, comfort level, and care needs. Some pets need lots of playtime and attention, while others need calm energy, patience, or a specific routine. I am comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and respected. Whether I am walking a dog, feeding pets, keeping them company, or caring for a home while the owners are away, I take the responsibility seriously. I know pets are family, and I would treat every animal with the same care and kindness I give my own Jaxxon. 🐶💛 Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I am responsible, organized, and already used to caring for my own dog, Jaxxon. I am available for pet sitting, house sitting, walks, drop-ins, and giving pets the attention they need while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a routine, and I do my best to follow instructions closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I care for pets with patience, kindness, and close attention to their needs. I have experience house sitting and caring for many different animals, including dogs of different breeds and sizes, parrots, and even snakes. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I respect their space, follow feeding and care instructions, keep pets safe, and treat every animal like family. My own dog, Jaxxon, has taught me how important love, routine, and trust are when caring for someone’s pet.

The average cost of House Sitting in Newport is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $64 per night.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
